Happier January 2022
13: Take a different route today and see what you notice. Carpenterville Rd/Old Coast Highway on way into town for massage?
Skipped T’ai Chi and getting down on the floor in order to get to Freddie’s earliest to avoid crowds. C-19 cases/day highest since I’ve been tracking (August). No return to indoor church, line dancing or T’ai Chi for me ‘til this surge calms, if ever. :sad: Just learned my vaccinated and boosted BIL tested positive. Worrisome as he is still a heavy smoker.
Mary, aww shucks Will mention your C-19 experience and activity rx to my SIL, but it’s hard to imagine my hard smokin’ deskjob BIL walking 1.4 miles/4 times daily. Pretty goshdarned impressive!
Likewise Sue will tell SIL about laughter yoga but even more unlikely The men in Joe’s family are stubborn. [sigh]
Machka your colorings but most of all your smile.
Heather, like Mary’s, your walking despite feeling ill is tremendously inspiring. Well done. Singing? Hooray. :brokenheart: Sad news about Penny’s mom. Thankful Penny was able to be with her despite C-19 restrictions.
Annie you are doing great with your yoga and elliptical. Bravissima!
KJ prayers for the little one, too scary. Brave decision to do the right thing and close down for a week. Please take it easy on the shoveling. If you can tolerate spicy food, a very hot chili or curry can do wonders for the sinuses. If not, stay in that hot shower for as long as you can and repeat, repeat, repeat. Sinus infections really stink.
Lisa Our DDS always seems to be able to find “something” even on routine cleaning visits ;} -yow, a crown? That’s a biggie. Neither would I snailmail even copies of such important papers.
Karen Brava! You are such a wise and competent woman, can you make a little space for “oopses” instead “of failures”? Lili got Covid a second time and strep? Bad time indeed. Whooshing healing, love and strength.
Beth “… no such thing as pulling out my range and cleaning behind it in 10 minutes…” ROTFLMAOWMP! Glad to hear your leg is healing. First things first.
Margaret I wish we had a mall for indoor walking. Joe has little or no raingear so it’s a challenge to get him moving in winter.
Allie what Beth said. Good luck with the dietician and thanks for explaining your shusher. Sure is different from Debbie’s Halelujah the troublesome upstairs neighbors are moving!
Terri Wishful thinking indeed. Driving to/from board meeting tonight, was yearning for return of longer daylight. Then realized January is almost half over, time keeps on slipping into the future…
Pip your pics reminded me of these, Scooter and Tumble helping Joe nap. Sure miss Scooter. Need to get some pics of the current Yin/Yang pair: Tumble and Shadow.
Sue I am SOOOO jealous of your water exercise. Aqua Zumba at the Nampa Rec center is probably the one thing I miss most about Idaho that we don’t have here. What don’t I miss? ICEI!
Rebecca your soup had my mouth watering until I smelled the cabbage
Vicki brava for stopping in at the gym daily. That’s a heckuva good start!
Michelle our Fred Meyers’ shelves are starting to recover, hope your Aldi’s do too soon!
Katla and Michelle good luck with the DDS!
Barbie sound, if sad, decision. I am so with you on both.
Kay ((hugs)) Thankful the rehab facility has allowed your sister to spell you and your mom.
Rori, trust tasks, boo! Snow shoeing YAY!
Ginny closer to home indeed. Also too doggoned many meetings, imho.
Well Joe’s up so I’m off!
Lighter, lovelies!

One of our cleaning ladies has been sick for three weeks, and in the ER twice. The other one is here cleaning with a double mask on. I hate all this guessing about who might have Covid and how many precautions to take. I would have told her to stay home, but she works for my parents. My dad doesn't get involved with the cleaning and my mom just goes along because her memory is so bad. Nothing to do but worry. It seems like life is full of these second hand exposures.

Dental Work ... must be the week to see the dentist. I was at my dentist on Monday for a "cleaning." Came out 474.00 poorer after he found a cracked filling that needed replaced. Sigh.

Morning ladies
Was awake from about 1 am and fell back asleep around 4:15 and slept until 10 ..
My sleep patterns are crazy alot of it has to so with the kidney disease also..
My daughter went to the dr about the rash on her stomach will wait to hear what they has to say..3 -
Hugs to all!
Make the best choices you can for yourself and loved ones.
I am feeling better. Tired today, still lingering cough, but generally much better. We are all on the road to recovery. Of course not feeling well derailed new habits, but will be back on track soon.
Much love,
Kylia in Ohio where it feels like early springtime3 -
Well decided to make it another soup and toast day. I am battling a sinus cold, and I feel the familiar ache in the neck of vertigo. I only swirl when I am in bed, so its not enough to make me feel too queasy. I will will just eat simply the next few days.👍
Big hugs to those ailing, or dealing with particular stresses.
Make time for your wellness, or you'll be forced to deal with your illness.💖
I need to cross stitch that in a wall hanging. I have a whole area to make into a yoga sitting, self loving place.

Allie's shusher and mine are very different BUT they do the same thing, hopefully- shushes the little one, at least for a while. One of the little ones when I was teaching pre-school called her pacifier a shusher, I thought it was cute, and appropriate, so when son came along, I started calling it that for him. He LOVED that thing-thought he would end up going to school with it but when it was time to take it away, it was one sad nap time then he was fine.
Auqu Zumba is available here and taught by the sub we have for our regular Zumba. Only reason I am not trying it is because of the area that gym is at. I wouldn't feel comfortable going there by myself during the day, let alone at night. If I could get my friend to go to that class, I would love to try it. She already belongs to that gym. That, and I don't know about committing to four nights a week of zumba right now. Two is good. If I was alone and didn't have to deal with home stuff, I might consider it or if she taught it during the mornings so it would be two mornings and two nights. Maybe one day.

Pleased with myself for getting back to normal this morning. Did all exercise, washed my hair, and, most importantly, did my writing.
I dragged myself very reluctantly to the laptop and almost bolted a couple of times, but I stayed there and ended up writing 360 words. Relief!
I still have little idea what I'm doing, but I plough on. One sentence at a time.
Had a Waitrose delivery and cooked our favourite pesto/multiveg and king prawns with buckwheat spaghetti. AF pink wine. Stinky cheese and hazelnut dark chocolate for dessert.
I did row for 30 mins this afternoon. I watched The Lost Daughter on Netflix with the wonderful Olivia Coleman. V good. I rarely watch English language films, but had read good reviews.
Much love to all. Heather UK xxxxxx3 -
Saw these driving down the road
Not sure what they are!! UFO’s! Well, this is Roswell after all! lol

Heather--Loved the story. I felt like I was there and understood just what he was feeling.
Lisa--Pray the doctor gets things worked out and they can do the procedure soon.
Mary--Glad to hear you and DH are on the road to recovery. Being active seems to be the key to getting better fast with less problems.
KJ--Sounds like you have what I am just getting over. My voice is back for the most part, but by end of the day it is still breaking apart. Takes time to get over my doctor tells me. Sorry you had to shut down.
Another day in the high 50's here. Sure does not feel like winter in Nebraska. I am doing day 4 in a row at the gym on the way out from work. One day at a time.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE5 -
Good evening, lovely ladies. I’ve had a lovely, restful day as DH was out with his birding pal today.
Kay: So pleased that the rehab center is easing your burden re organising visiting for your dad. (((Hugs)))
Rori: Have a lovely birthday tomorrow (Fri).
Heather: It’s good that you are feeling like yourself again.
Ginny: It’s the same here with Covid. Hearing about so many more cases.
Lisa: I understand your reluctance to post of original documents. They are too precious and difficult/expensive to replace.
I’m sticking with my daily habits. Christmas baggage discarded. Back on track.
May you find the inner reserves to do what you need to do. 💕💖💕

Stat for the day-
Walk w/family to doc- 2hrs 30min 36sec, 3.12ap, 69elev, 86ahr, 103mhr, 8mi= 773c
Strava app = 966c
Yesterday’s speed for 15mi bike ride was 18.41amph3 -
DrKatie-glad you had a chance for a break and your father is in a better facility. If the three of you can share the routine, you will be better able to take care of yourselves and your dad.
Rori-congrats on negative test! Also happy birthday. Your trip sounds like fun. You also reminded me I do need to formally get will and poa stuff done.
Barbara AHMOD-I agree too many meetings. I have often thought the reason you get paid more at higher levels is that you can tolerate the meetings!
Annie-tough position you are in with cleaning ladies.
Kylia-wishing you continued improvement. This afternoon the weather was pretty nice.
Rebecca-sinuses seem to be popular problem right now-but I’m glad mine is staying just that!
Heather-congrats on writing and back to normal.
RVRita-the picture of the UFO’s gave me the smile I needed!
Vicki-good job going to gym.
Terri-I love your positivity. BTW-in doing some random family research, I think my great grandfather may have been from Cookstown, County Tyrone. Of course, I am one of about a million of the Kennedys who came over back in the day. Can’t remember where you are located. Took me all these years to find any information.
Well, survived my meetings and got in a nice walk this evening. Helped reduce stress.
Got email from church today-council decided to make masks optional-in the midst of the biggest surge we have had. Old building with horrible ventilation. May not attend in person for a bit until things settle down.
Going to watch some tv and relax.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio

Rori Happy Birthday 🥳0

This morning there was a noticeable lightening of the sky.
Yesterday the snowdrops were out down in our small wooded area.
Spring will not be far behind.
Of course we could get another cold snap, but I won’t dwell on that today.
Ginny: Most families in Ireland have American connections.. So many left here during the Potato Famine in the late 1800s, and since then. An aunt of mine emigrated in the 1930s and her father (my grandfather) followed her. (My father’s parents separated when he was very young) The family lost touch with both of them long before I was born. My maternal great grandparents came to Belfast from a small village in Co Tyrone. No Kennedy connections that I know of, though. 😂 Many country people were attracted to the cities during the industrial revolution in Victorian times.

14: Eat healthy food which really nourishes you today. Veggies, citrus, avocados and beans!
Rori, best birthday greetings! Treat yourself well.
Annie so many possible exposures here too. Please try to channel that worry into some healthful activity, otherwise you’ll exhaust yourself and you need your energy for your yoga!
Beth Ouch! Isn’t that the way of DDSes?
Allie, Joe and my sleep patterns are crazy too, and not even in sync with eachother. [sigh]
Kylia “…make the best choices you can…” Amen, sister, amen.
Rebecca I need to post that “make time for your wellness…” motto onto my laptop screen timer
Debbie thanks. Sad to hear there are areas in the Napa Valley where you don’t feel comfortable going alone. Mama and Papa lived in Napa for the last years of their lives and it was a lovely, safe little town then.
Heather brava!
Rita they sure look otherworldly to me.
Vicki 4 days in a row, yay!
Terri “…lovely restful day as DH was out…” ain’t it the truth! :laugh:
Ginny “…tolerate meetings” :laugh: My Papa’s family were Kennedys too but he always said, “not related to those Kennedys, we had to work for a living…”
Tumble didn’t want to go to the powerline this afternoon so Shadow and I left without her. She then jumped on Joe-in-bed and gave out two angry barks. Shadow heard her and made me come back up the hill and get her. They surely have us well-trained!
Lighter, lovelies!
