    Tracey-congratulations on having a free weekend from work! I have to do a few things for work today but I want to make up from time missed due to medical stuff.

    Rebecca-Miss Athena has a personality that just doesn’t end!

    Viv-your mom and her spending totally makes sense to me. I will research and check and triple check before buying something for me. Early in pandemic I was on phone with DIL in Arizona and we were talking about granddaughter remote learning. Before we hung up I had ordered a new ipad for her on line and was having it shipped to house.

    Antidepressants-I have never used them. My husband found them helpful but I had to monitor he took them as prescribed. He would sometimes forget to take them and the results were not good for him (suicidal feelings, etc.).

    I do have a clothesline in the basement by the washer and dryer that I use for some items that I don’t want to shrink. I just couldn’t face drying everything that way if I have a choice.

    I am working on a “to-do” list today. Creating my list of things to get accomplished prior to moving to Arizona. Need to get some things completed around house and stuff sorted out. I also, with to do lists, end up adding the things I do that aren’t on that list!

    Rainy this am so will work on inside of house-hoping to get outside for a dry walk this pm.

    Take care all,

    Ginny in Ohio

    Good morning ladies!

    Yesterday was a good diet day for me. Let's hope it's the start of a trend!

    I read part of another thread, and now I have all the names and stories mixed up in my head. But it does help with motivation.

    I went up the stairs using my sore knee, without pain! Yay! It's been over two weeks, so I'm glad to see improvement. Tonight is back to my dumbbell routine.

    MARGARET ~ Those displays are so pretty and the florists are very, very talented. Loved your friend's outfit and display.

    Lovely exhibition Margaret. Nice to be in a FLW Hall. Wow! One of my favourite bits of the Met is the FLW room.
    I'm so sorry about your son. I know you did all you could for him. <3
    And Rita. Such hard choices. My son went through hell with his anxiety and depression, but he wasn't psychotic. He has come through it. I still worry a little, but luckily I am physically distant from him. I just hope he doesn't fall out with his girlfriend. :o
    I've just had a long conversation with G about our trip. Good to hash it over. She was utterly fooled by my composed demeanour. :laugh:
    I've arranged to chat with L tomorrow morning.
    DH back in an hour and a half. I have duck legs ready for him. Curly kale. In the meantime, I am going to finish watching A Star Is Born. 2018.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    So pretty Margaret! I love shows like that. My step father used to do Bonsai trees, and it was so amazing to see all his creations. I need to find some photos of his pots.💖👍. Yep our Athena is quite the little lady.💖. This month is her birthday, turning 3! A couple days after her birthday her mom, and her other grandma is taking her to Disneyland for the first time. She'll have do much fun!

    *my son will have to stay home because his college classes will still be going on, plus he needs to the dogs*. 😔. On a good side, he's a guy and never much into Disney. In fact we referred to Mickey Mouse as "that big mutant rat"... I know so bad. Barbie had no hope in our house either with GIJoes. Barbie along side a GIJoe, she was humongous! 😂

    On the good side, my mother got off the couch and went shopping. It's been awhile since she left the house other than doctor visits. On the bad side, she brought home non-diet food like ice cream and ice cream bars and chips and cookies and pie. Lots of stuff that I am trying to stay away from. Oh well.

    I have some calories if I can exercise a bit tonight. But will today suddenly be the day I develop discipline and stop after a small portion? Probably not. I'm better off just having another yoghurt. The battle goes on.

    Hello I am looking forward to a new month. A chance for a refresh and make some headway towards a healthier way of life. I have gotten my strawberries planted.. into inexpensive plastic tubs until I find a permanent place for them. So far so good they look like they are thriving. 🙂

    Beth - seems like almost everyone in my family had significant hearing loss once they hit their 80's. My mom and my maternal grandfather had dementia in their later years - hearing seemed to be OK. I'm still in a love/hate relationship with my hearing aid. If I get 5 hours I'm doing good! Better than nothing.

    Glad to hear your dad is doing so well. I am crossing fingers you can find a place closer to move your parents and that your visit at the facility goes well. Was your dad a veteran? I've been investigating VA help. My DH was in the Marines for 7 years, and in Vietnam - so some assistance might be available for care for him if it comes to that.

    Tonight, big dinner plan here is McDonalds! Our local one has a "buy one get one free" deal that goes on all the time if a person saves the receipt and fills in an on-line survey. Not my favorite place but DH generally eats a whole quarter pounder - 25 grams of protein right there. Whatever I can do to get some calories and protein down that man.

    IF- I'm pushing my first meal of the day farther and farther out in an attempt to keep at a 16:8 to 18:6 IF schedule. 11 am to 5 or 6 pm is my goal. I love black coffee but it's taking a toll on my stomach. I've been alternating coffee with a mug of hot water with a little baking soda - I think that would pass as clean fasting.

    Lanette ... Yes! My dad is a WWII vet and once his money runs out he qualifies for the veterans assistance. I've eaten many, many McDonald's meals over the years so I'm no McDonald's snob ... but this one in particular had both my husband and I not feeling too well. If your husband will eat it, get it for him! I think, too, that IF has just turned me into a food snob. Period. I really hate it when my only meal doesn't satisfy my cravings. My IF is generally 2:00-7:00. Yesterday it was after 7:00 before I ate and that was too long. I drink coffee with a glass of water too! Thins out the acidity a little bit. And, yeah, baking soda doesn't affect a clean fast in my book.

    We are having a quiet day. Our daughter and granddaughter are now home in Illinois. I had a wonderful time with them. I hope our daughter will be able to bring our grandson for a visit. He’s the “oldest” boy. There is a younger brother. He may visit in the future.
