    Welcome @PatDMuddle and @honkflap!
    Machka No wonder you’re tearful and exhausted, losing the phone on top of reviewing that long chrisis. So glad you got it back, thankful someone turned it in. A pox on the nastyother side. Do you have a professional to advocate for your DH or is that you?
    Kylia Joe is 6’ and I’m 4’10. Our first long road trip we took “Hilton” a great big ’72 Oldsmobile whose passenger seat was so big I could curl up in it and sleep. We left the the Bay Area, stopped a bit at the Grand Canyon and made it all the way to Little Rock Arkansas before sleeping in a motel. ;)
    Vickie will you motorcycle on your vacation?
    Michele “…being retired, I need a calendar” made me laugh. I depend on my calendar WAY more than I did when I worked.
    Carla fingers Xd you can find a happy place for your desk, good insurance is crucial.
    Rebecca safe travels! What Tracey said about a good wood burning stove. Nothing warms the bones or dries out the soggies better.
    Tracey Love it when our DH’s do something so atypical and so pleasantly surprise us. Hope you had a lovely meal and walk.
    Heather you always make your meals sound yummy, even when they’re mostly composed of things I won’t eat (seafood, fish, innards)
    Tina could sore soles of feet could be neuropathy? My Dr diagnosed neuropathy from a test where I stood on a machine that measured nerve/electric impulses. The rx? Alpha lipoic acid. Hope you get good answers and relief soon.

    The price of gas has decided Joe to clear the overgrown hiking trails on our vertical acreage to provide an alternative to driving to the beach every other day. He lopped and weedwhacked halfway down the cistern path and back toward our only visible neighbor. I checked out his work when taking dogs down to the powerline. Impressed? Amazed!!!

    Lighter, lovelies!

    Saturday....I am still confused this week-lol. So much work to catch up on, but won't let that stop me from enjoying time with my grands this weekend .

    Tracey- Too many cars for one driver! I own two- a 2012 Ford Flex (great for travel especially when shopping involved,ie girlfriend trips) and my Miata. My DH (who is blind) owns 2004 Tbird, 2008 Shelby GT, 2015 king ranch F150 (which we inherited from his mom), and the 2021 GT 500. We also have two work trucks. The F250 is mainly for plowing now. And my daily work truck is also an f150. So we own 6, plus the 2 work trucks. Most of my DH's are mainly driven to car shows. I really could sell my Flex, but DH is funny about cars. Even after almost 30 years together, I always feel like I need to ask permission to drive even his mom's truck, so the Flex stays. She doesn't eat much in her stall-😉 They are all expensive to feed when we take out though!

    Love the adulting podcast!I also love your DH's responses. My DH calls it his cooking when we eat out.

    Machka- Hugs! You have a lot on your plate. Fighting with workers comp is a pain, especially with long term injuries.

    Barbara- Love your car trip story. Those big cars were so much fun! My dad had a Buick Electra when I was in high school. I got delegated to drive when going to drive in as we could fit 8-10 people in it easily!
    Tracey I keep forgetting to say how much I love the Gnome.

    I had better get ready for work. I am stressed already. Everyone being witchy these days. I will put a smile on my face and continue.

    ❤

    Good morning ladies!

    Machka hope things settle down for you. Yes, losing a phone is a crisis. Mine has a browser that wants to remember all my passwords. Handy for some sites, but scary for banking!

    Not much going on here. Have a great day!

    Machka- a couple of things on your foot and I have had both.. plantars wort- its a wort that grows in to your heel and is super painful.. I had to have mine cut out .. but felt so much better afterwards
    Another could be plantar fascitis...and im thinking with all the running and biking you do it might be more so that.. its basically shards of bone that flake off and iritate your heal sometimes surgery is necessary ,but i went to podiatrist and gave me cortisone shots in the heel and had to wear a certain type of brace to sleep and no bare feet and in the mornings i would take a frozen water bottle and sit while having my tea and roll it under my heel..you need to stay off your feet for awhile to my friend..
    Thats all the info I have for you.. good luck.. going to have some tea and get myself dressed and then throw the laundry in

    How wonderful Tracey!!! Hope you enjoyed your walk and dinner.
    Those are great pieces of advice. I wish they'd teach some of that IN SCHOOL!

    We never have an empty fridge here either, Heather! And I am SO BLESSED (and I know it) that Freddy is my personal "chef" and he loves to cook, so he also does most of the grocery shopping too. At least once a week, he'll bring something home from a restaurant, usually just The Legion, but they have really good food, IMO.

    Heading off to my youngest brother's retirement party today. Maybe that's why I'm feeling so down. He's six years younger and retired already. He's earned it, certainly. 26 years on the Minneapolis Police Department. HE'S ABSOLUTELY EARNED IT! But he's six years younger than me! So yeah... That could be part of it too. But I'm very happy and proud of him.

    Thanks for all the hugs and encouragement. I'm trying, really trying to stay positive. I'll let you know on Tuesday... how the first look went.

    Saturday --

    I did sleep, but I've still felt tired all day.

    Finished a huge spreadsheet I've been working on and sent it off.

    Dug in my garden and tidied a few things up. It's quite chilly here, and the ground is cold, so I was only out there about an hour. I really should be planting my bulbs but I'm not ready yet.

    Rode my indoor bicycle half an hour.

    Got my phone functioning again. I had blocked a lot, and unblocking is a long process.

    And finished a picture I've been colouring.

    I also looked through my emails and see I've got some I need to deal with. That'll be tomorrow.

    DH & I are enjoying our view of the Columbia River. This morning we have been watching a large tug slowly pushing a barge up river toward the Portland docks. We are also enjoying watching fishermen, ducks, osprey and other birds. 😊

    I did NOTHING yesterday except sit on the couch and watch crap TV. Between the soreness from the day before and the barometric headache, I was just whiny and cranky.

    Hope everyone has a grand weekend!

    Love,

    I must have the same problem. We actually had thunderstorms and a little rain 2 days in a row. The weather change must be working on my mood/headache/lethargy.

    Heather - I’m happy to read your family is all safe at home. You will rest easy tonight.

    Machka - sometimes it’s the little things that cause the dam to break. In fairness though, a lost phone is a huge deal nowadays.

    It’s now 2 weeks after the first year. I just heard this week though that if you have some in your vacation bank employers must allow it to be used. I don’t know if that is true or not.
    I need to look into it.
    Is there an end in sight with all of the legal stuff. I assume it’s all to do with your husband’s accident and him being compensated properly.

    Kylia - how many vehicles do you have?

    Michele - I use a Duncan brand acrylic sealer.
    What do you mean about the “five foot rule”?

    Rebecca - you need a nice wood stove. They always make me feel “warm to the bone” without the risk of skin cancer. I wouldn’t have it as an only source of heat though.

    Vicki - I hope you get to enjoy your vacation and not use it for jury duty.

    Lisa - sometimes we just need a lazy day. I enjoy them from time to time.

    Debbie - I have the grands tomorrow, maybe I should take them to some garage sales. They love them.

    Tina - Last week a coworkers other half who hasn’t been sleeping well and was complaining about aches and pains in his feet finally went to the doctor, after she threatened to leave him. He was seen two days later by a cardiologist as the doctor was very concerned about his heart. They are working now to try to get him healthy again. It might be worth a visit to be on the safe side.

    The local radio station is
    giving local graduates “tips for being an adult that you aren’t taught in school”.
    Tonight’s drive home host told the graduates that there will be days that you work 8-12-16 hours and you go home to an empty fridge, it reminds you that someone has to fill that fridge and since you are the adult it’s you.
    He went onto say that you never, not one day not say “I don’t know what to have for supper”, you’ll have that decision to make everyday over and over again.
    I came home and told Rodger about it and he immediately asked me what we were doing for supper. I said I didn’t know that I was going to ask him. He suggested we go out to a restaurant. He never suggests this, so I jumped at the chance. He asked me where I wanted to go and I told him about a hotel restaurant that one of the women at work was talking about. He said, oh we can walk there. I almost fell over. I just loved that!

    Today was my Brother and SIL 22nd anniversary. They have been together for 31 years though. Tomorrow would be my parents 56 anniversary. I never know how to word that since Dad passed.

    Katla ~ I love the idea of seeing all the river activity from your window. It must be a wonderful thing to see each day.

    Tracey ~ Your gnome is really cute.

    Well I was planning on being away overnight in August so I bought a pill box divided into days for my mom to use while I'm gone. But when I told her, she said she doesn't need any help so she doesn't need the pill box. This is the same woman who told the nurse she doesn't need any help with laundry, cooking or shopping. She is delusional. But if she won't use the pill box, I shouldn't leave her alone. So frustrating. And maybe she would be okay, but maybe she wouldn't.
