WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2022

cityjaneLondon

Very happy to say my friend L texted me in the late morning. We have scheduled a phone call for 1.30 pm.

My run went well. NO back pain, but my quads are feeling it as I am adjusting my posture. But it is a good soreness. Means I'm doing something right. Stretched on the mat afterwards. I will do 20 minutes rowing after the phone call.

Waitrose delivery this afternoon after 4 pm.

Well today is my first day without my sling.now I start the exercises that I can remember that I did for the shoulder, the pain begins. Still reading the journals when I have a minute. I’m on July/august 1895 and we have moved to Chico California. It’s getting harder to read.

When I mentioned something in the journal to kirby the started to get upset saying I am just dwelling on the past and I can’t let it go. Right now it’s 5:04am and I just realized that reading this makes me appreciate, acknowledge, and be so thankful of what I have now with him and how far I have come from that time.

Barbie: Many thanks for the new thread. I’m just popping into bookmark June and then I will get caught up with the the May thread. I will be back later.

The builders arrived yesterday to fix our windows. They were due to come next week, but they got a cancellation on another job and asked if they could come early. It’s a wee bit noisy but we’ll get used to it. It’s only for a couple of days.

I did my weekly shopping this morning early, and we’ve been out in the garden since then. Just had lunch, and will I be heading out to visit a garden with our Garden Group.

Busy busy busy as always!!! 😂

Annie is correct that the format has changed on the MFP app. I use an iPhone and this is now what I see when I open up MFP. I get tired of the "fatty liver" ads, btw.

So far I’ve noticed no change on my phone when I login. I expect it will come eventually.

Lanette- So sorry. Sending all my good wishes for you at this time. (((Hugs)))

Machka, thank you for all the thought provoking inspiring quotes you post. I read them and gain from them but have forgotten to thank you.

A friend of Jake's whom he's known longer than he's known me, is coming for a short visit this morning. He may have his teen age daughter with him. They are from out of state and are visiting his mom who lives about 2 hours from here. We haven't had people over except an occasional neighbour in years so this will be odd.

Jake planted the tomato plant yesterday now that the temperature is staying around 50 overnight.

Last year I planted a cherry tomato plant and wasn’t pleased with it. The plant I brought home was very small and produced a few tomatoes that weren’t very flavorful.

I have three excellent blueberry bushes and will be ready to pick in July or August. 🫐

My phone call was OK, but my friend is not having a good day. Fortunately, her yoga group are rallying round and are on a rota to take her for a 'walk' ( on crutches) for each of the next few days. That will be good company for her.
It's difficult, because I feel my own life is too much of a contrast at the moment. She will get better, but she is going to need a lot of inner resources. Not sure I would have them.

Waitrose came exactly on time! Having the last of my homemade meatballs for dinner.

Thanks Barbie for getting us started on the new month.

Yesterday got a letter from our 13 year old granddaughter. Her mom has not let us talk or see them in 31/2 years. Her other grandma is helping her write to us and use her address. I feel bad about having to do it this way, but happy to have contact. DD has not spoken to us since we would not co-sign on house for them. Her mom lives with them and that doesn't help as she is very bitter person. So enjoy the contact and pray it doesn't blow up for her.

Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE

May was better. I did lose a pound last month so there’s that. Retaining water cause of the heat I think.
Had an old fashioned keto breakfast: 2 slices bacon Ororoot Keto toast buttered and topped with sugar free jelly, and a Just Egg prepared egg flip. Yummy! Delta like an old fashioned bacon and egg breakfast but without the eggs or carbs! Lol.

Thank you Barbie for the May thread!

Back again -- in the house cooling down after finally getting everything out of the workroom under the carport (well, the entrance is under the carport). Am bug bombing it now, so won't be going back in there for at least four hours. There are dirt dauber nests, spider webs and schmutz EVERYwhere, and on every single thing I dragged out of there. I'm going to have to hose down or wipe them all down before I decide where they're going to go.

For the uninitiated, dirt daubers. or dirt dobbers or mud daubers are shaped like a wasp, but are usually black or black and yellow (at least the ones I've seen) rather than the red wasps, which are quite aggressive here. Luckily, dirt daubers are not aggressive, though they can sting if you surprise them. However, my annoyance with them is their nests. There are seriously hundreds of nests stuck to the walls of that room, so they've been building in there for decades.

Can't get back in there to show the ones I'm removing, and it would be too dark to get a good picture anyway, but I found a pic on the Internet. Multiply this on every wall by 30 or 40, and it looks like someone went in there with a bucket full of mud and started throwing handfuls of it at the walls.

The nests hold their pupae, and if there's a hole visible, it means they're grown and left the nest. I also found six whisky bottles (empty) that had been there for a decade or more--with the paper bottles still wrapped around them. They were way back at the back of a high shelf that we never looked at when we were moving in. Once all the many-labored critters are dead, dead, dead, I can start yanking down all the bits of shelves that are scattered around the room.

But right now, it's time to start chipping away at the holes for my five new hostas. Corey brought them to me Monday. Because of his job, we get them at professional cost, rather than the garden centers, which are charging twice as much.

Onward and upward, my chickens, getting out there while I still have some energy.

Love y'all,

Vicki — It is a shame your grandaughter’s mother is bitter and taking it out on you and your granddaughter. Thank goodness for the help of the other grandmother to enable your granddaughter to write. ⭐️

Good afternoon ladies!

Thank you Barbie for the new thread!

Pip Yay for getting the sling off!

Rebecca great job playing tennis! So impressive.

Lisa so good to hear you are up and doing things.

I'm basically reading a book and trying not to eat much. I ate so much Monday, and I'm trying to compensate some. I came down six pounds in May, but there is a long way to go.

I did an hour of yoga this morning and now my knee is a bit sore again. I wish I could put ice on it without a full interrogation by my mother. She wants me to quit exercising altogether. There's such a small moving gap between training to get stronger and overdoing it. I'm aiming for that gap and I might hit the edge sometimes but I'm not quitting.

Barbie, thanks for a fresh month!
Lanette, I'm so sorry to hear of your DH's passing. {{{HUGS}}}
Vicki, what a blessing the other grandmother is! I so hope that you are able to keep the lines of communication open with your granddaughter, there will come a time (pretty quickly!) that her mother won't be able to control what she does or where she goes (or who she writes to!) and it will be so nice to already have that connection with her.
I ended May a wee bit lighter than I started it, so am a happy camper! Retirement is only 11 weeks away, I'm just a teeny bit excited! Actually, I'm very excited!!! lol
Must dash off to an appointment, but had a few minutes to catch up and do a quick post.
Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!

Got the dog to the vet this morning for a vaccination. The VW is at the garage getting an oil change and new belts so had to take the truck. My dog dislikes riding in any vehicle so acts like a mule and will not get in. I had to get her front end up and then boost her hind end in. We got to the vet and she refused to get out. The vet tech had to come out to the parking lot and help me lift her out of the truck. Then she was all happy, went on and got her vax, had to boost her back into the truck but thank goodness she jumped out on her own at home. She weighs 60 pounds.

B of A is being crazy again. I turned in the paperwork they wanted for my mom's estate but now they want copies of ids for me my brother and sister but they only need them for the savings account not the checking. Also if I choose to close the trust account they will issue a check made out to the trust and trustee. How can they write a check to an account that will no longer exist and how do you cash or deposit it? This estate business is driving me crazy!

Everyone take care, Sue in WA

Shoot. Middle son went back to his apartment in Eugene, and eldest son tested positive this morning. I think we're in for a long run of this.
