    Katla, I am so glad you were able to get into the doctor and found one you liked!

    So darling Rebecca! Cute stuff.

    Pip, I feel for you. Don't know what else to say. Haven't been in your position, but I feel for you. I'd be a "JUST TELL ME" kinda gal too.

    OMG Michele, I haven't heard Tfal in eons! HATED that stuff. What a crock. Never worked. Good luck with the pool.

    Had a wonderful corned beef and cabbage dinner last night and the grands loved it! Go figure!

    Rita hugs to you and best wishes for progress with your son.

    I did 58 mins of yoga, eight mins of elliptical, and six mins of marching. Yay! My crow pose is getting ever so slightly closer to a balance. I still need stronger wrists.

    Today's errands include more grocery shopping and dyeing my hair before my sister comes late tonight. I left my hair for the last minute, and I know better. Yet still I am relaxing after my exercise. Procrastination!

    Good day to all. I missed a few days. Spending some time in Phoenix with friends/family. It’s gorgeous weather here, but their pool is still a bit too chilly for me to jump in without a wetsuit.

    When I drove here, I had half a tank of gas. I wanted to see if the prices were less in Arizona, so waited till crossing the state line. Yep. I paid $1 less per gallon. I will fill up there again before crossing the state line on the way back. Honestly, though, gas prices are the least of my worries and even if I wait, it will be about $6 difference. I won't need gas after this trip for months.

    Kelly-I love, love, love how much effort you put into entertaining your daycare kids. You are incredibly creative and it’s obvious that you love caring for those little ones.

    Katla-Glad your DH got to see the doctor. Hope he’s on the mend.

    Barbie-Good thoughts sent your way for Jake.

    Pip-Good thoughts to you too on the results. I hate how they make you wait. I look at it like, if it were cancerous and urgent, the doc would have called you already. But, I’m no doctor and I’m sure they have processes they have to follow. Hang in there. The 23rd isn’t far away.

    Rebecca-I admire how your son “dad’s.” It’s obvious he loves that little girl to the moon and back.

    Allie-It sounds like things are “cooling” with Carmine. That’s good. Glad you got your phone. I think people are generally honest. It’s just a relatively few bad ones that make us lose faith and trust.

    Machka-You sound busier than ever.

    Luanne-Thanks for the book recommendation about pressure points. I will see if that helps my knee.

    Carol-I love that you painted clovers on the kids. I hated being pinched (still do), so now I have a green pair of pants and a shamrock t-shirt that I wear if I go out on St. Patrick’s Day. I look like a leprechaun. No one better get near me with pinching fingers.

    Debbie-Glad you are on the mend.

    Vicki-So sorry Jake is having trouble.

    Have a great day!

    Its really endearing.💖. Definitely a Daddy's girl. My daughter in law is great and all, but when she comes home from work, Athena does not particularly run to her, as she does with her dad if he's been away. I think for the most part, my son is just more confident. When I visited once when Athena was small, my son mentioned to me that his wife wasn't confident to take Athena out into the world by herself. It was always with him and her. I find that so strange, because the moment I could put my sons in a carrier, or stroller, I was out walking, or riding the bus somewhere! I think Athena has picked up on that. But yep, my son seems to be always doing something regarding art, or science. He has grow pans in the house, with tomatoes, and herbs. The kind that just uses water and special lights. Then the terrarium thing, and a bit ago had both Athena and her momma painting wooden boats. I am constantly impressed by how he fathers.👍💖

    I had a really long, but lovely phone call with my old yoga friend this afternoon. I'm thinking about getting on the train to visit her and the old yoga group in the not too distant future. She has been having urinary problems for ages and finally saw a female doctor. She thinks it's a prolapse. She has a specialist visit soon.
    Otherwise I watched a detective series on BBC Wales. Very good third series. Half in Welsh with subtitles.
    Had heavenly Tandoori chicken for dinner with roasted cauliflower. I left myself a small portion for an open sandwich for lunch tomorrow. 😋

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxx

    Vicki and Tina- Thanks!! slowly getting better.

    Rebecca- good job skipping the cake, especially beings it is on sale at Safeway for $1 for a nice big piece. Dh bought some for him, son, son's girlfriend and his mom. I ALMOST picked one up for myself but changed my mine. I have been having one or two of the Fiber One brownies that are 70cal. each. Not as good as regular brownies but they are already made and portion control!!

    Michelle-maybe check about a used Wii to replace your other one. Better than paying full price, especially if you don't know how much you would use one. We have one our son bought. I always said I was going to try it, even bought a few things to go with it- nope, still haven't gotten on it. Maybe one day.

    Took a Covid test today-negative- just to make sure. I have an old neighbor from when I was a kid, coming by tomorrow- Haven't seen her in about 45 yrs. There were three girls in their family and three in ours-they were just a few years older than us. We hung out together all the time-out in the country, they were our only close neighbors. We moved from their to the other valley when I was in 4th grade. She messaged me and said she was passing through town and wanted to stop by to visit. She went up and visited with my mom a few months ago and mom is still talking about it.

    Mother in law made sukiyaki so dh and son are having that for dinner. Dh brought home some sushi so I had a little of that- only thing I have had so far today, besides tea, Nice not having to cook dinner.

    My hair came out fine, the grey is covered and the dye mostly came off my skin. Yay! I was scared. I don't do makeup anymore; the hair dye is my only enhancement. It's important to me. I use henna which is a coating and works better for fine hair. Plus I was born with red hair, so it suits my coloring. Someday I will give it up, but not yet.

    Pip-sorry you must wait for telling of results. I agree with you (and others), tell me the facts then if it is not such positive news, I can digest it, maybe research it, and when I come in for appointment I will be better prepared to discuss going forward plans. Congrats on making your 5 mile walk goal! And Pip-it is not unusual to lose weight while healing. And didn’t they remove a 10lb tumor? Maybe you really were weighing heavier due to that and you really haven’t changed much?

    Tracey-I admire that you lost weight when you quit smoking!

    Barbara Southern Oregon-that knee sounds very annoying. Hope they are able to provide some guidance on Monday.

    Lisa-I think you are doing well on getting things done-especially given your up and down health issues. Good job getting place of birth sorted out. Since it was necessary and important, it did not waste the time, it just wasn’t efficient.

    Julie-foot issues revealed to be Hallux rigidus in both feet. The boring story:
    Believe it may tie back to being born club footed. Right foot is due, in part, to an osteotomy surgery years ago to deal with bunion that was dropping to ball of foot (instead of side). That joint is completely fused. Left great toe is following suit on its own, very little space let in joint. Arthritis both feet. Pain resulting from lack of joint motion. Getting fitting for rigid orthotics, no sandals or flip flops (don’t wear them anyway). Will investigate some old lady tie type shoes after I get orthotics. Wider toe box, firm soles, etc. Doctor did tell me that movement is still the best thing for me and my pitiful feet. Orthotic support is most sensible thing to try first. Wants to keep gait correct so I don’t have other problems. After what I have gone through with hips and getting IT bands flexible, do’t want feet putting me back!
    Luannelizabeth-I think I will still check out the trigger point reference. Referred pain is everywhere. That book looks like it covers the basics.

    KJ-great activity with the kids!

    Barbie in NW WA-glad tests for Jake can be done locally.

    Machka-gas prices are, indeed, getting high.

    RVRita-congrats on calories and exercise. Hope video call went well.

    Annie-you just keep improving!

    Tina-enjoy Phoenix. I would think about flying out to see kids soon (they live in Chandler), but they will be here next month for wedding of youngest son.

    Glad weekend is here. Just doing things around house and hope to file my taxes and my SIL. She hasn't had to file for years but evidently her social security form shows she is $26 dollars over the limit of not having to file. I think I will just use the free IRS filing form for her. I use Tax Act for mine. Not looking forward to what husband's social Security income may do to me!

    Off to bed for the night.

    Take care all,

    Ginny in Ohio

    Yeah, I thought of the weight of that thing too

    :)Pip, when you said that the tumor weighed ten pounds, the first thing I thought was that it would make a difference in how much you would weigh. Do you feel frail and skinny or are you just noticing the numbers on the scale?
