Allie - a wonderful idea for your uncle! A way for you to be there.

Pip - it's so unlike you to have persistent pain or other health problem! For you to mention it seems significant.

Did a Booya pilates DVD today since we’ll be leaving early for Daytona. The plan for tomorrow is to do a step DVD
pip – what kind of pain are you feeling? I’ve been feeling a pain in my left leg, the top of the leg. I’m trying to figure out what causes it to flare up. So far, it seems that if I’m sitting it flares up (which is a pain when you have to sit even for short times, like in a car), but what kind of exercise seems to make it hurt less? That part I have to figure out. Trial and error
LittleTea pot – welcome! Sorry about your injuries. You can and will do this and we’ll be here every stop of the way
badmmcfad – welcome

I’m awake early and listening to rain on the roof. It feels cozy to be inside, warm & dry. I’m looking forward to a cup of coffee in a few minutes. 😊3

Your post is the first time I’ve used the “insightful” button.
In the morning it doesn’t hurt, when I start walking the pain is there but nothing to complain about, yesterday I kept track and it was about mike 3 of walking was when it was bad., I couldn’t get past a 3.0 pace walk which is not fast for me. At a stop light it would slow down. It’s not my stomach that hurts it’s the side of my stomach and mostly on the right side only. In the front part, not the back.7 -

Hallo all. Coming back to life after my visitors.
I had to collapse when they were done. Slept and felt cold. Sooooooo tired. Ate too much, drank too much yesterday, didn't sleep at all well. Now recovering.
They are lovely people and spent nearly three hours driving through horrible conditions to get to us. Good chat. Love them.
I am relieved it's done and very happy to have seen them.
Spent the day doing my exercises and eating the remains of the haggis. Rang my friend G. She had just opened a box of old mementos belonging to her parents. In it was a letter of condolence I had written in 1982 when her sister killed herself. She said she cried reading it. Nice that her father had kept it. Next week it would have been her sister's 70th birthday. She has decided to visit the grave and take flowers.
Now chilling and watching TV.

Pip ... seek medical attention. You are very in tune with your body and this is not normal for you.
I'm here and I'm reading. Very complicated and busy at this time with my parents. Dad, bedridden in the assisted living apartment is maintaining and Mom is doing all she can at the skilled nursing rehab to get her broken femur to the point where she can get back to the apartment. My brother and I are preparing their home for sale, going on the market next weekend.

Barbara AHMOD- Thank you for telling me about that national day to honor women veterans. In all honesty, I've never seen it before. Congrats on the NSV! Fitness can kind of sneak up on you...
Heather - Hope the ankle is getting better by the minute.
Welcome to those who are new, we're glad you're here!
Allie - glad news on the medical front has been better, and that you liked the possum metaphor.
All my favorite domestic sounds are swooshing, clanking, or gurgling as the case may be. Pulled all removables from the stovetop and put them in the dishwasher, then sprayed the entire stovetop with degreaser and left it sit. Last night was BLTs (well, BL for me, I wouldn't eat a tomato on a bet). No matter what you do, cooking bacon will cover everything with a film of grease.
Time to swap Corey's work clothes from the washer to the dryer and decide whether or not I want to go to Walmart. There are a few things I want, but honestly, nothing that I can't live without today. Cardiologist tomorrow morning, and x-rays once I'm done with him, then blood work. If I'm not too worn out from all that, I can stop at Wally-world on the way back. I think I shall do just that. Save gas, save the environment, save my energy.
Hope everyone has or had a peaceful Sunday.
Love y'all,

haha-tomatoes are my favorite veggie, as long as they are home grown. Many don't even make it into the house, eating them right off the vine, still warm by the sun. I have to plant mostly yellow/orange tomatoes because my mouth can't handle all the acid from the red ones.
I look forward to them(and make sure they are planted in my best raised bed).
I will hopefully be planting them in mom's greenhouse next weekend- need to double check and make sure she has the new potting soil for it.
BLT's have always been my favorite!!
Growing up we had the best- mom would be in the house frying up the bacon that we had raised, while dad and I would be out in the garden, picking tomatoes, lettuce and a nice big red onion. Can't getting much fresher than that

I agree with the grease film! Lee is famous for making up a steak (those little mini ones) with eggs (scrambled HARD) and the steak grease everywhere. And don't even get me started with the crumbs around our toaster....😂😂😂 When I am taking my vitamins, waiting for my coffee, I am flicking stuff in the sink, and thinking REALLY??😋

I don't have the stove mess from dh, because he never ever uses it- he uses the air fryer and the microwave and leaves crumbs EVERYWHERE and that is not as big of a deal as him not rinsing dishes- that is what irritates me. Seriously, how hard is it to run a bit of water into the dirty dishes- I have talked to him about so many times- put notes up above the sink, still does it daily. They sit there until he finally rinses them a few days later(because I am not going to scrub them out because he is too lazy to put water in them.) Right now, there is a bowl from his oatmeal from yesterday morning, sitting there. I washed all the other dishes but that can sit- I have scrubbed so many of his dishes. Last week it was my Tupperware bowls with his kimchee that sat in them, staining my containers. So irritating.

I'm still organizing my trip in June to see eldest sister in Shedd, OR, and cousin coming from Arizona. I will take an Amtrak down, but not sure how to organize middle son visit. They lead a busy life, he is at school during the day, wife is full time at a medical clinic, and Athena is at a fulltime babysitter which she loves by the way. Its a home daycare, the gal has two kids so she is just one of the pack. So thinking its best to do a weekend visit with husband. We can spend thise two days with them, doing whatever. Thinking its going to be 2 separate trips. One trip to see sister and cousins family. Another trip with Lee, a weekend visit with sons family, and the coast. Just need to look at Amtrak schedule.
My eldest has phoned and texted more than my youngest has in the 3 years he's been gone. I am thankful! He has chosen a place off base, with a two car garage, a carport, 3 bedrooms and a gourmet kitchen...😂😋. Its in a private gated community, with an HOA, so he's feeling comfortable about that. He gets an overseas housing allowance so his place is like $250 over what he's allowed. Then he's also getting a $700 utilities allowance so really he can just pocket so much of his take home pay. He is paying his half of the rent here though, which he's able to do. I told him during our last call that he needs to really pay attention to his money coming in and going out the next couple of months. We can always store his stuff in a storage unit, and get a smaller place if we have to. He said he would, and so we'll see how it all goes.👍💖
Of course my go to feeling about seeing family is to go into hyper diet mode and try to get slimmer for what, their approval??? Oh Rebecca get it together! My sister and cousin accept me regardless so just keep doing what I am doing, and don't freak out!
Hugs ladies, and welcome all you new ladies!

Debbie— Cherry tomatoes are a favorite snack. Yum! I grew a cherry tomato plant a few years ago that was huge and prolific. I encouraged our neighbors to eat as much as they wanted. It was overwhelming. Last summer I planted a couple of smaller cherry tomato plants and ended up frustrated. The plants I bought were dwarf cherry tomatoes that didn’t produce more than 2 or 3 tomatoes. Part of the problem was too much shade. This year I’ll skip it and buy the cherry tomatoes at the grocery store ready to eat.
I have been successful growing blueberries at home. We love them. Unfortunately the deer love them too. I solved that problem by covering the blueberry plants with large nets. WIN! I freeze the blueberries and we enjoy defrosting them to eat on top of the cottage cheese that we like for breakfast. YUM!1 -
Rebecca - Amtrak is fun. I hope you’ll be able to enjoy a trip to visit your sister and cousin. ❤️0

This is a sign of being too tired. I baked a pan of peanut butter bar cookies and they were sitting on the counter cooling. As soon as they were out of the oven I started on a chicken casserole for tonight's dinner. It’s a layered chicken dish (King Ranch Chicken Casserole)... definitely not diet friendly but that's what we're craving ...and I was to put half of the chicken mixture in the 9x13 casserole. Yep. I put a heaping mound of mixed chicken and soups on top of the peanut butter cookies!🤦♀️🤣 But because I’m tired, I simply scraped the chicken mixture off the cookies and put it where it belonged in the casserole. And I took paper towels and wiped off the cookies!! LOL! At least I wasn’t planning on taking them to anyone … and my guys will eat anything. (The chicken was already cooked before assembly ... so no poisoning worries).

We've had a nice quiet Sunday. Boyfriend has been feeling better since his child alter has gotten over its anxiety attack about me having surgery and being in the hospital. I'm home now and fine and able to do some of the little things I like to do for him since really I'm just to the point of having a randomly itchy incision on my neck, and I feel fine. I'm still going to wait a bit to lift heavy things, but I think since I can turn my head without pain or pulling I can probably do a little light sweeping and wiping the counters and such. That would be nice, cause we have three cats and it gets a little furry round the edges without regular dust and sweep!
Also, my period showed up because I don't have enough going on or something. (eyeroll) We could quit this any flipping time. Really.
We're really viewing aspects of this as sort of a test run for when I get my breast reduction. Then, he's not going to have the luxury of falling apart. He's going to need to take care of me for a couple weeks straight; to the point quite possibly of helping me in the bathroom. But when I came out of surgery I had a meltdown due to lights/noise/remains of anesthetics in my system, and he helped me through that and got me into a quieter room and did all the right things, so I am sure that he can do the right things, we'll just have to work out how to make it happen.
I had a phone call with my mom, who is in Sanibel Island with her sisters. They get together every chance they can because they are very close and the oldest of them is in her nineties, and, well, one never knows. She was glad to hear that everything went well with the surgery and to hear that my voice had recovered, which it has. Unfortunately, my younger son seems to have blown up his relationship by doing something stupid and impulsive. He was dating a really nice guy this time, and I'm sorry. Of course, this is the son that always had to learn not to do things by, well, doing them. So unfortunately it's par for the course and I hope it's a learning experience.
Tonight for dinner I made Chicken With Chinese Mushrooms and rice, with an egg roll for Boyfriend and Girlfriend with dipping sauce. (I can't have egg rolls cause cabbage.) It was stupendously good and we are now all sitting round in food comas. It also means that tomorrow I can start logging again and eating my "regular" diet, since I was able to eat that without pain. This makes me happy. I bet I can start riding the bike again too, since that isn't going to mess with my incision if I keep it at a slow pace. This is all good.

get something like Sweet 100, Sungold or something like that- the sungold are great but the do tend to split when you pick them. They are pretty yellow/orange and really produce. Sweet 100 are reds, good producer and don't split as much.
I won't buy store bought tomatoes when they are in season.(rarely do even out of season)2 -

I’ve had Sweet 100 tomatoes and they’re wonderful. The plant was HUGE. I gave away many tomatoes. I don’t plan to grow any tomatoes this year, but I could change my mind.1
