    not sure the # in kilometers but I am at 92 miles so far for this month. 167 for Sept.170 in Aug.
    Looking forward to talking with the wellness coach this afternoon to see what I need to do different to loose some weight(plus get my other numbers down too)

    Almost time to head out to walk another 5miles plus Zumba tonight. My friend that took me to my first class but then stopped going to go to another gym, is now back going with me. It is just once a week now that it gets too dark to do it in the park at 6:30PM but her and I or another friend and I walk for that hour instead. This week we won't as the teacher is having everyone meet for a little get together at a Mexican place a couple blocks away. I will walk a little extra that day ;) -street tacos are what I will be having that night.

    Oregon mom,
    I respectfully disagree concerning your comments about parents knowing why children don’t talk to them. After a year of family counseling with my daughter the therapist called it quits because my daughter has no reason not to talk to me as far as she could say. The counselor felt my daughter was just going to counseling to make me spend my money and really has no justifiable reason to say the things that she does.

    My daughter also spreads lies about me in a club we both belong to.

    According to her I’m upset because I had to pay $4000 out of pocket for her to do a semester abroad in Scotland and trying to not pay for her college loans as promised and as part of the divorce. My belated ex-husband got out of paying anything and I got saddled with the loans.

    The reality is her college is completely and totally paid for each semester at a time for all the semesters I was in charge of the FASFA and the financial paperwork. The $40,000 we ended up with in loans are from the semesters where she and her father got mad at me and cut me out from everything and they screwed up the paperwork.

    So here I am paying off $40,000 in debt that I had nothing to do with. The $20,000 for that semester and Scotland will be paid off by the end of the year.

    Yes my daughter thinks I have a bad attitude towards the debt. I do and as the counselor told her I have a right to because the debt was incurred by her father and her and not by me and I have paid $309 a month every month except for 1 when I did not know the payment was suspended due to COVID.

    I reflected on this many times and there is really no reason for her behavior. But she is an adult and if she doesn’t wanna have anything to do with me that’s up to her. The debts in my name as co-signatures and in my bursar account so she went to the University where I worked, so I’m paying it off.

    I understand. You do know the reason. Whether it's justified or not is a completely different issue.

    I wasn't trying to say that kids always have a good, understandable reason, certainly they don't. I realized after I posted that I didn't make that clear. But as parents, I think we do know their reasons, even if we disagree with them and think they are unfair.

    Question.. anyone sweat for no reason even though you are way past menopause? I’m 66 and can go from shivering to sweating by just putting on a light sweater! Weird….

    Yep. But I'm on crazy drugs, so I don't know if that's the reason.

    Rita - ME too! I have a very narrow temperature comfort range. Seems like anything below 63, I'm freezing. Above 68, I'm roasting.

    Weatherman says smoky and unsafe air is now to continue thru Thursday. Then Friday... here comes the rain unless they change their minds.

    I purchased a little air compressor/tire inflator off Amazon. I got the el cheapo, and it was kind of a "challenge" but managed to get the tires on DH's 2006 Camry inflated up to proper level yesterday without too much "blue" air spewing out of the garage, lol.

    If I traveled any distance at all I would have gotten a more high quality compressor like Karen has shown us in the past. I'll still stick this one in the trunk anyhow.

    I'm taking the car in to Les Schwab tire store early Thursday morning and have them take a look. Sitting semi-flat for over a year can't have been good for them, but they are holding air. Still, not sure that I trust them. Then I'll get the oil changed and it should be a good little back-up car in case the Subaru gets sidelined.

    Jeannie - I've heard similar stories. So sorry you are stuck with paying these loans. If you want, I can send a virtual cast iron frying pan aimed at your ex-husband's head. Just for the fun of it. :p

    Heather - what a nice party! Happy Birthday to your DH, he looks like he's having a great time. What a cute photo of younger you! And of course you have matured beautifully.

    Barbie - good job getting the fence finished. I liked the "bone meal" idea.

    Katla - sorry to hear about the illness in your husband's facility and quarantine. Sounds like he's in a good place to weather it, they'll take good care of him. :) Hope he can join you soon.

    Heather - LOVE the picture of you at 15. You are and were gorgeous Oddly enough, looking at that pic reminded me that I've never seen you with a fringe (what we could call 'bangs'). Just wondered if something happened to change your ideas on how your hair should be styled? Happy birthday to Johnny - he and my son John are only three days apart...

    Rita - I had all the inside lady bits evicted in 2001, but still get occasional sweats for no reason.

    Rough morning after getting my blood draws done, but am on the other side of it now. I've got a 9 am telemedicine appointment with the hematologist on Wednesday morning, so at least I can stay home to talk to her. Hoping last month's infusion did the trick for my iron levels.

    Carla, thank you for asking - if you put Lisa C Hannon into a search on Amazon, you'll find my books - This Little Pig is a mystery novel, and She's Thinking Out Loud and Still Thinking Out Loud are collections of my opinion columns over about a ten-year span. If you have Kindle Unlimited, they're free to read... Other books listed on my author pages are anthologies that I was asked to submit to and edit for a writer's club in Texas for years.

    Later, y'all,
    Love,
    Lisa

    Worked, went to bowling, ceramics tonight. A lady on my bowling team mentioned about the company she had replace her roof. I'm so glad. The lady next door had some landscaping done (we wonder if she's planning to put her house on the market. We understand that her husband left her). Anyway, this guy came and wanted to sell us mulch for 1/2 off. Then he mentioned how he can replace the roof, that that's one of the other things he does. Don't ask me to explain it, but I just have a funny feeling. I don't have one about the company she recommended. Vince said he was going to call them and mention her name. Good!

    Rosemarie – you’re treadmill is in the garage because of caretaking? Why can’t you have it in the house?

    Heather – I must have missed it. Happy Birthday to Johnny

    Heather – how lovely you were at 15, just like you are now

    katla – I’m so sorry to hear that your husband was transferred to a hospital. What happened? I hope nothing real serious.

    Oh, Rebecca. I'm so sorry. This has gone on long enough! I hope you can get some answers and some relief.

    Katla, so disappointed to hear about your husband. I hope he is able to get some help and healing so he can return to you quickly.

    Rebecca - so sorry you are still having problems. That is miserable.

    Katla - sorry to hear DH is in the hospital. Hope he is out soon.

    Heather - looks like a wonderful birthday party for your DH.

    Still smokey here but not as bad as yesterday when we had ash falling again. Hope we do indeed get rain on Friday. I am watering the pastures in hopes the grass will grow at least some. We are already feeding hay full time and that means it won't last as long and hay is really expensive here.

    DD and I worked in our library reorganizing the closet this past weekend. We need to move things out of the living room and in there since we have company coming for Thanksgiving. I am going to Iowa for my cousin's 90th birthday the first weekend in Nov so need to get some things done now before I go.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA

    Timely feature on the news the evening about "living funerals" and "near-the-end-of-life celebrations" - while the person is still alive to participate and hear what is said. Apparently living funerals are gaining in popularity. I didn't know they were a thing.

    Heather ~ Happy Birthday to you husband! You were/are very pretty.

    I have spent the morning trying to change which internet browser I use and can't find one that I can actually understand but Google. Tried Microsoft Edge and Firefox but just can't seem to get them to work like I want. I desperately want to delete Google Drive but there doesn't seem to be any way I can close it to delete. Yes, I have been to Youtube to try and find instructions. :'(

    What are you trying to do?
    Why do you want to delete Google Drive? I don't think you can, but you can just opt not to use it.

    Did you delete Google Drive or disconnect it from your Windows Explorer?
