Well, I went to the library talk about writing. It was an excellent talk, but I didn't meet anyone with whom to form a group. There were two who seemed to be children and another who was loud and kept interrupting. Maybe next time.

Well i feel better took another morning nap and slept till noon..
Got up and took a shower and got dressed and gathered all the papers I had sitting on the counter and thr floor in my bedroom and started going through those. Chucking what I could boxing up financial stuff ,and setting aside medical stuff.
Got dishes done.gor the garbage together
Texted with Tracy.. she sent me a video.. Miles is crawling now and pulling himself up to stand so now all bets are off. If he is like his mother he will be running at 9 months lol.
Rita- so happy to hear your finding fun things to do..
Me and Alfie are relaxing now. Have his food all set he will eat eventually4 -
Someone asked about my rattan egg chair. Profile pic shows it.

I walked to my library event: just about a mile each way. Found out the sciatica (or whatever it is) hits at about three quarters of a mile. I so admire you ladies who can walk for an hour! Well, I should sleep well tonight!

Barbara glad to see your post. I knew you were well because my home page showed how many days you'd logged in. I am riding my exercise bike while logging today's food and reading the posts since morning. I always read this thread while I eat breakfast I don't do well responding to people like you do, but the reading points me in the right direction

When it starts getting cold/wet, I will change the catio from one large one for all the inside cats to two . The original part for the inside cats but close off the second part and open the side so they will have cover inside the playhouse that is in there and we will put a cover over the top- right now it is not covered so they get more air in.
One is still peeing on a pad in the bed- just not sure which one. I will spray the bed again with the deterrant and work harder keeping the litter boxes really clean and hope who ever did it will stop. One pad a day I can deal with(but don't like it when it is the one next to me).
The new kitten is doing well- loves the attention. Likes to be held and cries if I ignore him. He is still staying in the pen all the time unless I am holding him. I will do that for another week I think. Can't let it in the catio.
Have a wonderful Saturday

Have you taken the cats with the bladder issues to the vet? One of my previous cats started peeing everywhere and we discovered he had diabetes.
There are also cat behaviouralists who might be able to help.

Barbara glad to see your post. I knew you were well because my home page showed how many days you'd logged in.
That's just a matter of keeping/leaving MFP open on your computer. You don't actually have to log or anything. I have an enormous number of days I've logged in and that's simply because I leave 2 or 3 things open on my laptop, including MFP.I am riding my exercise bike while logging today's food and reading the posts since morning.

I read while riding the bus to and from work.

Thanks for the update Katla! Keep us posted!
I had an interesting day yesterday. Early morning appointment with ENT went well. He sees no holes in ear, just scar tissue from old hole. Everything healing fine from surgery.
I then went to Post Office then dropped off bloodwork at different doc office. Next I thought I would check out the adult center her and get flier on hours and class offers- left with that AND A JOB teaching at the center! Soooo from there went to temp office to get started for job (class starts in October) and met someone from when I lived in TN! Sold her a membership to- and she is interested in being on board of- Friend of Bottomless Lakes of which I am on the board and secretary for. I had wanted to go to library but didn’t do that as I got what I was looking for at the Adult Center.
Now to stabilize the meds I’m on and things are taking a turn for the better! About time!
Weight is going down but colitis still a bear because of med changes, gut heading to better.
Laters ladies!

What will you be teaching???

Went and walked MIL's dog- went out with dh- the first hour was really bad- non stop cussing/negative everything. He calmed down after a while, got lunch and did our shopping and mil's shopping.
Came home for a while. He wasn't in a rush to go back to her house because she had a "friend" over.
As we were walking in the door, my MIL said to the lady " G** Damn it- SHE'S here too" Talking about me. I dropped the groceries that we had picked up for her on the table and sat on the couch while dh talked to the other lady then just left. Not going to sit there. The other lady left and she was slamming stuff. DH went outside and stayed out there- I am so proud of him for doing that. Better than getting into a yelling match with her. She ignored him the rest of the evening. He is sleeping over there now- going to work at 11PM, going to help at a Comic-Con in San Jose with a friend then working again tomorrow night. Not sure when he will get any sleep but at least he is out of her house for the day.
He is kind of hoping I will drop off food for her for tomorrow afternoon- Not feeling it but most likely I will. No clue what I am making. I should just let her make herself a PBJ sandwich and not deal with her but don't want to be petty, like she is.
Church in the morning then work in my garden and sometime go walking. Time for a little me time.

We had dinner with our daughter and her children yesterday. I enjoyed seeing them. We added a table and chairs to our apartment while they were here. I haven’t decided whether I like the extra furniture. 🤔. I’ll look at it again today.4

Good Morning, My son and daughter in law are here They both have been very helpful with my husband. He has ALS and is now quadriplegic. The Korean BBQ with lamb turned out well. I hope to take a walk outside since they are here. Usually I don't dare leave the house. Thinking about a Fall Garden..it has been cooler, but Mums won't do well if it gets warm again.8

I spent about 3 hours in the garden this afternoon ... longest time in a while.
I'm trying to create a dry stream in the front garden.
When I planted flowers there last spring, a lot of them didn't come up because (I think) there were so many rocks and roots, so the first step (last autumn) was to dig the whole thing up to remove the rocks and roots.
However, the phlox did come up and has shown a remarkable endurance. I expected it to have died off by now but it survived winter. So there's one section I have not been able to dig up and remove the rocks and roots.
Nevertheless, I re-dug some of it today and started laying out the dry stream.
I also weeded and re-soiled another garden bed ... and moved a pile of rocks up to the dry stream area.
Then I went into our home gym to row for 15 min and do weight lifting for 15 min.

My Sunday walking friend got home from her Alaska cruise yesterday not feeling well, took a Covid test and tested positive so we won't be walking today.. She has cataract surgery scheduled for Tuesday with me as her driver so I suppose that will be postponed. Barbie in NW WA 4 -
“ What will you be teaching???
M in Oz”
For now I’ll be teaching just a simple how to use a computer class. It will be aimed at non-technical adults who want to learn how to feel more comfortable using a computer. You’d be surprised how many people are not even comfortable rebooting a computer ( and not just the monitor! 😂). Other classes as requested. I’m thinking maybe a social media class or how to use the web. Very basic stuff but there is a real need for this. Classes start in October. I still have to go through a background check and “drug” test.

Well, spent yesterday morning in the ER having a reaction to the newest meds. Found out it was amplifying my thyroid medication putting me in a continuous panic attack. Stopped that one and slept better last night. So far so good this morning.

Oh Rita! So hard to balance those meds! Keep trying- once they are balanced, life is so much better!

Guess what arrived today!
I've volunteered to make a picky-lunch for next Sunday when the family are back. It will be make yourself wraps with a poached chicken, salami, hummus, falafel, salad etc. I am away at my brother 's the day before, so I will prepare in advance. I've ordered a Waitrose delivery with a chicken etc for Friday morning along with GF stuff. This afternoon I made the family's favourite brownies, but used gf flour. It looks OK, if a little firmer than usual. I will get vanilla ice cream to go with it.
Had a nice chat with G who is in a state waiting for exchange on her apartment in York. Otherwise, she enjoyed seeing her granddaughter in Paris.
Love Heather UK xxxxxx

Barbie ~ Sorry about your friend coming down with Covid.
Rita ~ WOW! That sounds bad! You would think the dr who prescribed the new meds would be up on all the drugs you are taking. Teaching the beginner computer class for adults sounds great. You will be a natural. My mom got a computer when she was in her 70's and never could learn how to use it.
Pip ~ I think you recently mentioned cataract surgery. I love that I had mine done. I can see almost everything except small print (on my phone) without using readers.
Rosemarie ~ I'm glad your children are giving you a moment for a walk. What you are going through is very sad.
