    The garden room under construction. They have done all this today! DH has gone out as he finds the noise (which isn't too bad) stressful. He wants his parking space back!

    I'm expecting the cleaner any minute and I have a Zoom with my girlfriends later.

    We spent last evening at our daughter’s place. A bat flew into the kitchen and out the back door to freedom. I’ve never seen a bat inside a house before this. I think the poor bat was terrified of all of us until it found its way outside into the dark. Yikes!

    Parking space is reclaimed! Phew! :p DH looks somewhat pinker and less tight-lipped. :laugh:

    I will post another photo when it's all completely finished, but it's nearly all done, in one day!

    Just finished my Zoom . G still hasn't exchanged on her apartment, but it must be close. Tomorrow, hopefully.
    My friend B's children and grandchildren have decided to move back to Australia, after moving back here last year, to Ireland. She is understandably sad as they have just been staying with her for their holidays. Her husband is in his 80s, so travelling that distance becomes more difficult. :'( It is her only son.

    I managed to have an hour's nap this afternoon, which I desperately needed. I was feeling sick with tiredness. Much better now.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Kim- i for can you tell me what the egg substitute was called again,Tracy made Miles pancakes this morning and he broke out so he definitely allergic

    I use Just Eggs. Despite the name there are no eggs in it, the have a liquid version usually in the refrigerator section. There are powdered versions you can get too. Another option is the liquid from canned beans ( not baked beans) like cannellini beans. Other types can be used. I use all of these depending on what I’m making. The Just Eggs brand has frozen ‘egg folds’ that aren’t too bad. The liquid is good for imitation scrambled eggs.

    Machka - I love something to look forward to. I'm already looking forward to my cruise next June! :p But I'm also tossing around ideas for October, when my husband and I both have birthdays. It might just be a night away in London, which i would love, but I'm also thinking of crashing my step-daughter's 50th in Jersey (if she doesn't get to Japan) We wouldn't actually crash the party, but it would be nice to meet up for a meal or a walk. Jersey is one of the Channel Islands and part of the British Isles, but not the UK. It's nearer to France. Thoughts are going around my head, but I'm waiting for her to get back to me with the dates. Of course, I hope for her that Japan lifts its restrictions, but, we have never been to the Channel Islands!

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    I feel like all of our "entertainment" is my responsibility. He will say "we should do xyz, at some point" and then just expects me to make it happen. He said recently, we should go somewhere for the holidays, then just dropped it. Does your DH help with planning? Is this just how it is? Why does he get to the be the "idea person," and I have to execute?

    I actually do try to plan things, but he is non-committal and then the opportunity passes. When I plan things just for myself, he gets mad because he has terrible FOMO. I really don't feel like I can win.

    I have the utmost empathy for people with foot pain. A few years back, I had severe bilateral plantar fasciitis, to the point it would bring me to tears at times. Once on my feet, I would avoid sitting down, because standing up was agonizing. I tried night splints, orthotics, special shoes...and finally, of all things, Crocs to the rescue. By this time, I had suffered for well over a year. I rarely wear anything other than Crocs. I don't care if they're fugly, as long as my feet don't hurt.

    I wear Oofos, but they don't seem to be helping. Maybe Crocs are what I need. Thanks for this.

    I just watched the video series from our favorite physical therapists, Bob and Brad, and I don't have the indications it's plantar fasciitis. My arches don't hurt. My feet just feel like I've been standing up all day. I don't know what it is.

    Tina - I do all the planning. I book everything. That way it's done properly. I have to be careful how I approach it, so he doesn't feel sidelined. I usually suggest something and let him mull it over and ask him if he's on board every step of the way. He is usually very happy with that, but I do recall hiccups in the past when he felt I was 'taking over'. I'm also the ideas person, so I don’t have that problem. Diplomacy is necessary.
    I also do things on my own, or with girlfriends, which he finds a bit unsettling, but doesn't object. He doesn't necessarily like it, but I would do it anyway and he would be embarrassed to object as he prides himself on being a feminist. He can be jealous of my attachment to my girlfriends and my delight in people I 'follow' in the media. He never says so, but he does feel shut out sometimes. For example, I would love to chat with his sister, who I get on with really well, but he would find my ringing her up independently very anxiety making. I am tactful about that. He is sensitive about rejection, but it's usually within bounds.
    I hesitate to give advice about husbands, but it looks as if you already know what path to take. <3 Sometimes when we change, people resist. But in the end, our truth is better for them too.

    Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    All the cats, inside and out are taken care of(food and litter boxes all done)
    Had my tea while checking in here.
    Dishes done
    Going to go over early and walk a bit at the wetlands before picking my daycare girl up.
    Zumba tonight- so I will be sure and get my steps back up where they should be.
    Scale FINALLY went down yesterday(after a week of not doing much exercise at all-only hit 10k three days of the seven - half the steps for the week than I did the week before(and that was just an average week) Not walking the dog hardly at all. Just don't feel like dealing with driving over and then who knows the mood of MIL- she has help coming in for the first time this morning. I am sure I will hear about it tonight.
    145.8 down from 147.2 the week before.
    18-20 to go. I have been stuck at 146-147 for over 6 months it seems, maybe not that long(will have to check the calendar. Need to find what works and keep up with it.

    Have a wonderful Monday

    Karen--Thanks for sharing the picture. They are beautiful.
    Michele--Love your Goofy. He will fit right in with the rest.
    Pip--Do you mean you can not see the TV screen now or will not be able to after the surgery? Wishing you the best of luck.
    Machka--Glad DH was not hurt in the fall. Still scary.
    Rita--Sounds like you had a great trip to town. Best of luck with the job and class schedule. Glad you are doing better, scary what the meds were doing for sure.
    Barbara--Hi, missed you.
    Heather--Enjoying the pictures of the children. Looks like they are having a lot of fun.
    Tina--Sending hugs and prayers. You do what you have to do for you. I know that is easier said than done. I know part of how you are feeling, only I go from one extreme to the other of not wanting to do anything to thinking I have to do it all at once. I get excited about doing something and when the time comes I have talked myself out of it.
    Machka & Lisa--I can remember the last time I cried. I get sad, but no tears. I just feel numb or angry. I go see my regular doctor next week and will talk to him about it. I don't want to go back on antidepressates as last time I didn't feel anything and then after several years on them I got the hives for 10 months everyday.
    Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

    I can not see clear images of who’s on the tv screen, it’s blurry. I am good with actors voices so I can tell who it is even if I can clearly see them. I should be able to see after the surgery, I will just need reading glasses so I can read and probably see my phone screen too I would imagine. I just walked to the eye doctor and paid 1680.00 for both of my eye lens, I only needed to pay for one ($860.00) but paid for both. She’s going to send me an email, I asked her how much it would have cost if I had no insurance.

    Pip, I walked all over Europe in my Crocs. I don't know how Kirby will do, but it might be worth a try!
