    Pip — I am sorry to hear that you have been dealing with pain. I hope rest will help you feel better. 😘

    Just a quick scan through before bedtime.

    Lisa: up to 6000 steps! WTG!
    Allie: What a lovely thing to do for your uncle.

    Weather is perfect- went out and finished pruning the raspberries and roses, transplanted a couple small hydrangeas (their wine barrel planter fell apart and should have been replaced last year, finally did it).
    I need to dig up some of the raspberries that are coming up where I don't want them- will transplant them to mom's house

    Got a flat right near the end and felt kinda flat throughout the ride.

    The glasses I'm wearing here are progressive lenses with "auto tint" or whatever it's called. They go dark in the sunshine and go clear inside.

    I've had glasses like that for years but this time, I went with larger lenses. I really like them for driving, walking, cycling, etc.

    Inside, I wear my desk glasses - close progressives which allow me to see things clearly at a closer distance while working at my computer.

    Machka - My glasses are progressive & also self darkening in daylight or bright light. I think they’re wonderful. 😎 It sounds like you’re happy with yours, too. 😊

    20 Ways to Stress Less and Enjoy Life
    https://xenlife.com.au/20-ways-stress-less-enjoy-life/

    "Stress is toxic to your body and mind. If it’s not addressed right away, it may lead to more serious problems affecting you physically and psychologically. Stress has two main causes; internal and external. Internal causes may include struggling with yourself, thinking about something too much or thinking negatively, while external causes might include stress from your surrounding environment, workplace issues and negative people surrounding you."

    Morning all.

    Barbie: Purrrrr …..
    @badmcfad Miele failte 😄
    Pip: Doctor? I suggest sooner rather than later.
    Debbie: Getting back into the garden is so therapeutic. Enjoy! 👓 I’ve worn progressive reactives for years. Most useful.
    Machka: 👍🏻 Great article. I use all twenty strategies, and then some! 😂 I would recommend ‘Awakening the Giant Within’ (Anthony Robbins) My copy is well thumbed. Recognising and dealing with stress is so important

    Planning an easy day today.

    Morning, afternoon and evening, y'all,

    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,
    Lisa in AR
