    Lanette: Enjoy your chicks!

    RV Rita: I love that you eat pepperoni and cheese as a snack! You do great getting your protein in! I am not so good at )it! I'm really not a meat eater. I am not a vegetarian...just not a meat eater.

    Debbie: Prayers for Destiny

    Margaret: My Dad had hydrangeas on Cape Code and they grew beautifully. The ones in your picture look lovely!

    Kylia: I am glad Aubrey is doing well.

    KJ(Kelly): 5 kiddos would be a lot for me!

    Heather: I smiled when I read DH is going to help Edie sew but he himself has never sewed! They will make quite the pair!

    Joy: Hope you have a good time in Ireland!

    Grandmagege: Welcome Back!

    Annie: Thank you for your kind thoughts!

    Rebecca: Your talk of lasagna had me craving lasagna!

    Tina: Triple AAA didn't have a battery for my vehicle. Sigh...But it all taken care of now! Company for 3 weeks this summer! Wow!

    Debbie: I drink lots of seltzer water. I was drinking sodas while caregiving but was able to stop these pretty quickly once caregiving was over.

    Katla: I try to avoid juices because of the sugar, but have allowed myself a little OJ recently!

    Carla: I am glad you are now pleased with Rich's obituary. I did the rough draft to my DH's obituary and then my son worked on it further. I am pretty pleased with it and it is something I will have for years to come!

    Nice weather the last couple of days! Maybe Spring is here. If so I will try to get out and clean up the garden!
    I make a to do list every day and get through much of it. I am tired in the evenings. Tomorrow I head to Atlanta to see my son. I have never seen his apartment! I hope I don't get too tired, but the only way to do more is to do more!

    Best,
    Rosemarie from GA

    It really made it unique when I sprinkled the sauted onions and mushrooms on each layer. I use both Italian herb paste, and roasted garlic paste. I also precooked the zucchini strips by baking them, with Italian seasonings. Just maybe 10 minutes, so not long. Just not raw when you assemble.
    Its time for lasagna!💖👍🏻

    Good evening ladies!

    Beth and Rori thank you!

    Today I ate 1163 calories, a bit high for me. I had a deficit of 418 calories, Yay!

    I did an hour of yoga, twenty minutes on the bike, and thirty minutes of aerobic walking. Yay!

    I'm getting some sciatica in my weak leg. It mostly tingles, but sometimes stabbing pains. Something for me to watch. There's always something!

    Kim—You are remarkable and generous with your kindness. Your mom is so lucky that you are her daughter. (((❤️))). I hope you will be able to get needed rest and time for yourself.

    Rose Marie—I was frequently drinking cranberry juice at breakfast when I realized the sugar level in this cranberry juice was not good for me. I have been much happier with cool water. 😘

    Pip— Kirby’s dad’s picture & the knife case is a lovely display. Very nice! 😊

    Rori— Enjoy your trip to Brighton. I think the trip will be wonderful. ⭐️ I hope you’ll tell us about your favorite things & places there.

    Update from Destiny's mom-
    Sad news, but I think it is the right choice but it was definitely not a decision we took lightly. If we did not make this decision then she would have keep bleeding and not be able to live, or do things she wants to do. Or even be able to get on any type of chemotherapy or even on a trial. So if all goes well and her platelets go up and stays up by next week they will be taking her leg off next week.
    She needs some encouragement because this was a hard decision she made and she is nervous and scared.. But she wants to fight. She doesn’t want to give up.. and she needs prayers. That all her scans come back good. ( which scares the heck out of me that they won’t)

    My heart goes out to her. Continuing prayers.

    What is your greatest achievement this week - small or large?

    For me, it would have to be starting yet another new job. I always find the first 2 or 3 weeks in a new job difficult.

    Fortunately, I know a lot of the people around me, although I haven't worked directly with my new little unit before. This unit went through a shake-up about a year ago, and it was down to one person. That person became the manager (one level higher than me). In the past 4 or 5 months, they have hired 3 of us. I think we might be all at the same level or close to it - all 3 of us are listed as Senior Officers.

    None of the 3 of us have worked directly in this area before so we're all learning. That helps. And we're all on a new floor of the building so we're all finding our way around.

    But while the other 3 are kind of generalists, I will be specialising in one area. 3 days in and I've already been added to a working group, have set up meetings, and I've signed up for a newsletter. I've also waded through all sorts of legislation, statements of intent and other documentation.

    Thank goodness it is the weekend!!


    But also this week, I've put together and sent out a newsletter for my cycling club.
    I've processed the results for 3 events with my cycling club.
    I've run errands which involved a trip into the city on Monday, while I was still on leave.
    We took Rhody to the vet for his vaccination and check up.
    I tried to book an Easter getaway but we're too late. That's OK, I think I'd prefer to stay home.
    I've dealt with heaps of emails.
    I moved into my new office which involved finding the stuff I like to have with me and bagging it so it was ready to take.
    We cycled three times earlier in the week and I've started climbing stairs again.
    All while dealing with digestive issues from the antibiotics.

    Oh, the 22nd was also the 5th anniversary of my husband's accident. I made it through most of the day all right, but broke down in the evening when all was quiet.

    Today was hauling more rocks for the garden and then a 12.22 km bicycle ride. :) I know it says 11.22 but Strava didn't kick in for a bit because I updated my phone.

    Officially, Brighton is now 'the City of Brighton and Hove'. They two towns merged in 1997 and it was awarded city status in 2001. In the old days, Hove was always known as the elderly, genteel end. Brighton had a racy reputation. Now, Hove is much quieter, but it has a younger, trendier image than it used to.
    I still say, "I live in Hove." And I say "Hove" in a mock, posh voice. Or even, "Hove, you know." :laugh:

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    How do you pronounce Hove?

    Is it like Hoe, the agricultural tool, with a soft v at the end ... Hoe-v?
