    Heather - Hope you and John are doing well on the whole Covid thing.

    Machka - Hope the new job is just the ticket for you.

    Dropped Corey at the airport at about 5 a.m. for a 6 a.m. flight. It's a small airport here, but they do a good job. I've been there at least a dozen times, as I was still working for the Girl Scouts of the Desert Southwest, based in El Paso, Texas when we first got here. Had to fly out there at least once a month.

    Evidently, the root canal was not completely successful. The tooth has gotten steadily worse. I thought the first few days were just residual soreness, but the pain keeps going up. Blah. I hate being in the dentist's chair - and this procedure has had bad luck from the beginning. Will be calling them in a couple hours when their office opens.

    I love fireworks and would support a professional display, but the idea of every half drunk human with their cheese slipping off their cracker (thanks Lisa) with fire, explosives, dry roofs and a need to look mighty just makes my tummy go flip flop!

    Kim - You're very welcome. I seldom have to translate for people with that one, and it's nicely descriptive without being rude. :smiley:
    Lisa – your family story is great, although the double Lisa part is a bit of a double take…. The kids and Corey are darn lucky to have found a better Lisa.

    I just had this vision of my husband and kids and grandkids at the "Lisa Store," looking for the next one. :D We come in all shapes, colors and sizes, you know. And will eventually take over the world. Maybe. I'll let you know after my nap.

    Back to bed to try to catch a few more Zs.

    Love y'all,

    The glorious morning drizzled into overcast and showers before noon. Can’t see any fireworks but hearing a few big BOOMs. Shadow barks to tell them to “STOP it!”

    Lanette you’re inspiring me to get back to SWSY. Here’s the video I use, but add the triceps from the video you shared.

    I used to alternate SWSY with BB&B (Better Bones and Balance)

    Long past time to pick them up again.

    2022: Be still and listen.
    July: Move more, fuel better, live NOW.

    Barbara - thank you for that SWSY video! Great refresher on the moves. Just what I needed, I tend to get sloppy and hurried. Once my toe gets happy I need to start back with some Better Bones stuff.

    The booms started here around 7:30 last night. Rosie barking. Alot. I invited her to hop into bed, she did, but that didn't calm her down. So got up, gave her 1/2 CBD treat and parked on the (uncomfortable) recliner. She jumped on my lap and settled right now. We kind of snoozed until 11:30, then I got up and went to bed. She was OK staying on HER recliner, her usual sleeping spot.

    Make it a fabulous day! <3

    :'( The fireworks here weren't bad but enough to make Bessie very nervous. First she moved next to my side of the bed, then wanted to get into bed, then kept moving around above my head. I played music on my phone and got her settled amidst many pillows and kept my hand near her. We lay awake and listened to music for about 90 minutes til the big fireworks display ended. I kept the music on as smaller bursts of fireworks continued for another 90 minutes. When we went out for our 1AM walk, it was quiet and she went back to her own bed. When I woke up at 4, she was on the floor next to the bed so there must have been more noise.

    Firewoorks were awful last night. We live near a school with a big field. Usually it is one group in the middle that shoots them off. I went ups to watch for about 5 minutes and there were groups all over the field shooting them off. Too dangerous for me. An 18 year old lost his life shooting those kind of fireworks off in another location in the twin cities. Fortunately they were done by 11:30. They were upsetting to DrewB too. She is not a complainer (no whining or barking) but I could tell be her body language she was upset.

    Barbie we listened to music too. I look up 432 Hz music on you tube because it is so soothing.

    Beth Happy Birthday :flowerforyou:

    Lisa Did dentist use a lazer drill to remove the decayed part of the tooth? I learned on the dental segment of the pet summit lazer does a much better job removing the decayed part of the tooth. They do not do this procedure on dogs yet so it is difficult to get a good root canal on a dog.

    Morning ladies
    I slept a bit better,I took a page from Machka and used a pillow by my side and it helped...
    I remember when i had my heart surgeries that they stuffed pillows on either side of me in the bed,and it was nice..
    Going to go watch Miles..

    It is really nice.

    When we travel around Tassie, most places we stay provide 4 pillows per bed. I'll have 2 under my head and one on either side of me. Or if one is thick, that one goes under my head, 2 go on either side and the 4th goes under my knees. :) 😀

    I sleep so much better all tucked in with pillows!

    I think it is because I am not as restless. Without all the pillows I toss and turn more. With them, it's easy to find a comfortable position and stay in it longer.

    Worked. Evidently, they’re having some sort of high-up inspection this month so almost every day I have to do something different. Like yesterday I was told to do the tomatoes first so they have time to cool. Is someone REALLY going to be checking the temperature of the tomatoes???? The other day I was told to put the chopping machine by the sink, which to me makes sense so it can be washed with the sprayer. Then I was told that even tho I clean the inserts for the chopping machine, to put them next to the sink (that’s where they put the dishes to be washed, with my stuff there there’s not going to be room), today I was told that this lettuce spinner (which to me is too small anyway) is never to be on the floor (the old one was for the longest time) but that I should put it in the sink when I’m finished (my understanding is that they’re going to put the chopper there <which they’ve done in the past>. Now with this, there won’t be room for the chopper. Wouldn’t be surprised if it gets put on the floor. But not my problem.) Whatever……

    Not much needed to be prepped today, not surprising since yesterday was 4th of July. Probably could have gone to the gym but I didn’t have my things with me and I know if I came home and then went to the gym I wouldn’t have had time before my eye MD visit so I went in the pool instead (oh hardship) Then went to the eye MD. Things are looking fine. Ceramics tonight

    I would like to get a piece of wood and have a friend paint “Steve’s Room” for the door to the room he usually stays in when he’s here, but I couldn’t find anything at Michael’s. We don’t have much at all for crafts.

    Bonnie – welcome!

    Tracey – your salad sounds good. I’ll have to try it. Oh, yes, I saw the Fall merchandise, and the 4th of July stuff 70% off

    Divine – So proud of you

    M – good luck on the new job

    Rebecca – so glad you had such a wonderful trip

    kins…. - welcome! What part of NC are you in? I’m in Newton

    Stopping in before I head for bed... it's been a quiet day. Walmart delivered my order at 3 p.m., and that was pretty much the high water mark. B) I find it is much easier to avoid getting junk food when I'm having groceries delivered than reaching out and picking up snacks when I'm in the store. Not really sure why, but I'm OK with it.

    With Corey gone, the chance that I'll make a full meal for myself is pretty remote, as well. Big shrug for that. On my own, I eat small meals about five or six times a day. When Corey's cooking, I end up adding in the full meal he makes for both of us, rather than taking one or two of mine away to balance the calorie add. Just need to own that and balance it better. He's really good at helping me achieve it, I just have to be able to express it to him.

    Welcome @KinstugiJoy . We're glad you're here! Don't forget to bookmark the thread, and just a note for everyone who's new: Quite a few of us don't accept friend requests, and I'm one of them. This is not personal, it's simply part of my drive to keep social media as a small part of my life only. However, this is an amazing thread with posts from women who've been on it a week, and women who've been on it five to ten years. We have folks from dozens of states in the U.S., and others in the UK, Europe and Australia. Drop into a conversation anywhere you like.

    Off to bed says SleepyHead.

    Love y'all,
    Lisa in AR

    Barbara - “can’t snack when I’m asleep” this is why I went to bed before Rodger got home last night.

    Machka - trying to get the right clothing for a new position is always the worst. I have found in the position I’m in now that I dress more “girly” I work mostly with women now and it was mostly men.

    For those of you that have to battle the fireworks that would get annoying fast. We have a few that go off occasionally here, but they are illegal in the city. You can buy them for outside city limits.

    Rebecca - so happy you had a wonderful trip!!! Love the pictures.

    Annie - what a relief to get your Mom to the appointment!

    Rita - I hope you find some solace at the therapy appointment.

    Vicki - I will never understand parents that use their child as a pawn. What a nasty thing to do to her children.

    Lisa - I finally figured out last night that I didn’t have to have a big supper, just because it’s what’s ingrained. So last night and tonight I’ve just picked at things instead of a meal. Lo and behold my calories are much better!

    I drove into the city tonight after work. I was looking for a specific colour of seed bead. I had checked Michael’s and 2 Dollarama’s here and they didn’t have them. I ended up at another Michael’s, the Dollar tree and a 5th Dollarama before finding them. I probably spent more on gas than I did the beads.
    If I hadn’t been over halfway done this stocking I would have changed it up a bit.

    Another wet cold day. I’m so tired of it.
