    Rosemarie - Happy Belated Birthday!! <3

    Karen - awesome job going through everything. So glad you have local charities and agencies helping with it all. I could feel your happiness - and relief in the post... the end is in sight!

    When you get a chance, I'd love to hear about your new place :) I think you and your spouse were wise getting in line early. Out here, retirement communities and apartments have long waiting lists.

    Pip - remind me again about your shoulder. Can you lift your arm above your head or reach behind your back? Crossing fingers physical therapy brings you permanent relief.

    Still skimmin’. Stats updates just have to wait. Frenzied cleaning yesterday, today, and whatever can get done tomorrow morning before company arrives. Joe’s tried to be helpful, and he has, but there have been some less than loving conversations as I’m snappish when mid-cleaning frenzy and take not well to helpful suggestions, or even honest communication. :rage: The NSVs were getting back to PT yesterday and today, and taking time out for line dancing tonight.


    Debbie praying the wellness coach can help you with lowering your cholesterol and a1C. Considering how healthily you eat and how much you exercise that cholesterol number is scary! Could it be the stress you live under? https://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/stress-cholesterol-link

    Time to snooze. May be a few days before I check in again because of my friend visiting from Idaho.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    2022: Be still and listen.
    October: Move more, fuel bettter, live NOW.


    A big part of the cholesterol number being high is heriditary-
    Mine has always run high, even way back when I was in my 20's and they first started checking it. The doctor ran it twice because she couldn't believe, at 95 pounds it was close to 300. It has gone down some but not much if any in the past 40 yrs.
    My dad's side of the family all have run really really high, and sadly, most don't do anything to change it- 7 of the siblings that passed died from heart attacks, two from their second and before they were 40 I think. One died from cancer(continued to smoke until the day she died, even after they had to remove part of her jaw because of the smoking).Dad passed from covid. Only one of the ten left now.
    I will ask about if stress might be part of it- I know stress runs dh's sugar really high. Maybe that is part of mine too. Trying to work on that- the walking the wetlands has really helped the stress(and lots of prayers during those walks and other times)
    I will check out that link. Thanks

    Debbie - I had a friend whose very high chloresterol ran in the family. She was the thinnest person I have ever known. She took drugs to lower it. This was back in the 70s. I think it would be impossible for you to lower it by diet alone, given your family history. As you already know, it doubles your risk of heart attack. We would hate to lose you. My DSIL, who is very fit and swims miles every week, also has high chloresterol. Her mother died in her early 60s, unexpectedly. DDIL is on statins now. Fortunately, DH is the mother's adopted son.
    Sometimes you just have to accept the curveball life throws at you. It is nothing you have done. Luckily, modern medicine can help.

    Rosemarie - I fear I forgot to wish you Happy Birthday! I certainly wished it in my ♥. Great that you got to spend time with your family.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Worked then went to Aldi, then WalMart since I needed gas

    Allie – what is Myles going to be for Halloween? Of course Alfie is on HIS bed!!!!

    It’s drizzling out right now, and that means that I don’t have to go water the grass! Newcomer bowling tonight

    Barbara – I like getting household items for gifts but only if I need them and want them. Like I wanted the Roomba, I really did, and I was happy to get it. I wanted an IP, and if I didn’t get it for Christmas I was going to get it myself. But I got it.

    Right now making more spaghetti squash in the IP. Hey, it was on sale for 59 cents/pound!!!! So I’ll freeze some. Thank God for the freezer!

    Looks like there won’t be many for Newcomer bowling tonight. I know Vince is getting somewhat frustrated. There are some people who have signed up but never show up. They don’t even bother to let him know that they aren’t going to be there. Which I think is just rude. He’s saying that if one other couple don’t come (then it would just be the two of us), he’s wondering if having Newcomer bowling is worth it. I honestly believe it is. There are just some nights when people have things they need to do. Well, I think this is just a temporary thing.

    I like to have my breakfast ready the day before. Want to think on what to have. It's too chilly for cereal. Besides, I had that this morning. Let's see, I do have chicken broth that I want to use up. Maybe that, edamame, maybe shirataki. Don't laugh at my breakfasts.

    I can both of those. To the average joe, you wouldn’t know anything was wrong. I broke it back on 5/13 and I’m just now getting the PT.

    I recall PIP, the gruesome after pics, you fell in Las Vegas correct? Or was it a bicycle accident? Whichever, it was quite the injury, and you were so brave throughout!💖👍🏻🙏

    Yeah, I broke that same shoulder in Vegas on Kirby’s 60th birthday 7 years ago on 7/10. I fell down some stairs going across from one side of the street to the other, I don’t remember the fall at all.207cedsvwk5s.jpeg

    Pip – was that REALLY 7 years ago? Seven? Those pics still look as terrible (the shoulder, I mean)

    Karen – you have such a big heart! I wouldn’t doubt if that’s the reason you won the bid.

    Well, it was just Vince and myself bowling.

    Rebecca – I can’t get over how much we have all been thru together. Love you all.

    It was really raining before but it’s slowed down now.

    Date night then!!!

    would love a night like that
    Dh used to be on a bowling league- hasn't bowled since we got married or soon after.
    Not sure if he could now with his bad hips(replaced both twice but not right still)

    Need to find a snack.
    Went walking at dinner time so just grabbed a piece of pizza before I left.
    At 600 cal so far for the day so need to get a 400cal snack that is low in sugar and cholesterol
    Not sure how that will work out.

    Heather - I used to live on the south side of the river and work on the north side. In all of the years we’ve lived here I have never taken the old tram and say I’m going to every year.
    I currently live about 40 minutes from that river. I am in a small city just south of Edmonton. The airport is a 5 minute drive away.

    We are having a flu shot clinic at work tomorrow and Friday. I’m not eligible for the Covid jab until January. I have to be 5 months after my positive test.

    Machka - as I was reading your kidney stone experience I was picturing the university and hospital here as I knew you went there. I also pictured that long drive from south of here. Scary.

    Debbie - have you tried eating more? MFP says I shouldn’t eat over 1200 to lose weight. I found that I actually need around 1400 to lose.
