It's a Happy Bright Sunshiney Summer Day here in the foothills of Denver.
Heather: You look so radiant. Travel clearly feeds your soul. You are making me want to travel to the Artic.
Vicki: Hugs to you for hanging in there through the hiring challenges. My mother always said you attract who you are, so clearly there is a capable, responsible, hardworking person like yourself making their way into your office.....🙏🏼
Rita: Prayers going up to restore your peace of mind and that your son finds his way back.
Machka: I'm worried about your elbow. Healing wave of energy heading your way.
Annie: I need a sister like you to challenge me! WTG, girl. Keep it up.
For almost 2 years I have been wearing my late brother's smart watch. I liked having something with his energy on me, though I hardly used any of the advanced features. It did help inform my CO and I really grew to depend on it to tally up my daily calorie burn. But, it's now defunct. Apparently it's not as waterproof as advertised. I have now killed 3 Fitbits and a Samsung watch which were supposed to work in the pool. Does anyone have a recommendation for a wearable device that works and LASTS for tracking swimming and aquatic activities?
For now, I'm off to workout at the Row House, then Costco for a bag of their giant beautiful lemons. Tonight I am bringing 2 pounds of Chilean sea bass to my niece's house. She will cook it with lemon butter and capers. It's a super treat. My tenant works at the seafood department for Whole Foods, and knows to alert me when my favorite fish goes on sale.
Stay well friends! I send you all enough sunshine to make you and your flowers smile and some cool breezes to make it a delicious time outside.

Rita--How scary. Pray he is safe and stays that way.
Lanette--HUGS! I also find it hard to ask for help. Glad you have friends to help when needed. I agree with Barbie it is easier to give then receive. It does each of us good to be the receiving person sometimes. Keeps us humble and is a Blessing to the giver. So glad your knee was not hurt worse. Think getting it elevated and ice right away helped.
Tracey--It was a good weekend and we did go on our motorcycle ride Sunday. I think the weekend I was ill I picked up from DH.
Well I have hired a lady. She can't start until July 24th and we did go around about the pay. She wanted more than any of my other staff are getting and I said no, this is what it pays. I agree interviewing is hard and you still don't know about the person until they start working. I just pray she learns fast and is a team player.So I do see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Annie--Reminded me of the time our smoke alarm had a low battery. Only I didn't know that and it was chirping and I thought it was a cricket in the house. So DS and I used a whole can of spray trying to find the cricket and moved everything around. DH came home and said it was the battery and changed it. Now when I hear that sound the first thing I check is smoke alarms.
Have a staff meeting this afternoon. Our fiscal year ends Friday and they want us to have reports done by then. I think once this meeting is done and notes typed up I will be ready to start the new year.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE3 -
Lisa ... intermittent fasting most definitely has an element of "damage control!"
Rita ... hugs ...
Rosemarie ... everyone is welcome on MFP regardless of the health regimen they follow and you're always, most definitely welcome on this thread!

It was a good ride, the new rout was easy. The only time it was rough was going uphill to the fire station once I reached the dam. It wasn’t quite 25 miles. I’ll be riding tomorrow too, kirby has an appointment that he wanted to stay close to home for. Since I’ll be riding tomorrow, I’ll try to extend it some so I can hit 25 miles.6 -
Internet has been out of action as we have been far out at sea.
It's a sea day, so the usual painting , dancing, dancing again, and singing. We did Rock/Jive today and I danced with the teacher the whole way through. Magic. I ached all over and was drenched in sweat, but I loved it.
Special champagne reception this evening. So I went in my 40 year old sparkles with my grandmother's necklace. I tried to take a photo.
Now off to a Queen tribute evening.
Love Heather xxxxxxxx

Been going in the pool. Bad news: our ceramics place is closing. The gal who runs it asked for a $3/hour raise. They didn’t even counter with something like “well, we’ll give you $1 this year and $1 next year”. So she found another job. See, she recently got divorced and no longer has the two incomes. So I’ll probably finish my gecko, she’s letting Vince bring home paints so he can finish his tree stump next week when they’re closed for the holiday, I’ll pick up my gecko on Monday and he’ll pick up his tree stump on Wednesday. Then it’ll be closed. I hope they find someone, but I’m not holding my breath.
Tracey – I see Ember has a tough job! Of course he/she has to go to sleep!
Lisa – wow! That’s fantastic that you’re paying the house off
Heather – how wonderful of you and Johnny! You both are angels, indeed
Vince bent down to get a measuring tape and felt a twinge in his back. As you can imagine, he’s concerned so he won’t go to ceramics tonight, I’ll go and get his tree stump and the paint
Claire – thanks for no longer lurking! Welcome! Of course you can join! Welcome to the boredom eating club (of which I’m president). Many people on here don’t do the friend thing, we interact on this thread.
Pip – what a dreamer you are! Thinking that you’ll have enough blanket for you and Bette just because you got a king size! I don’t know…….. lol
Vicki – I’m glad to hear you hired someone.
Off to dinner and then ceramics.

who forgot to go to the gym after work today but will go tomorrow a.m and then do a Jillian Michaels Killer Cardio DVD on Thurs.

Update from Destiny's mom:
We are not saying anything to des all she thinks is that the blood she is coughing up is from her throat or her nose bleeding down her throat . Which could be what is actually happening they really do. Not know
So today was fairly a good day for her. She got up and was in less pain than the day before. But then tonight we got some shocking and devastating news today. Destiny has been coughing up blood clots. was just told that she could start bleeding a lot to where they can’t control it and could pass away. It could happen tonight, weeks or months or not at all( hopefully the not at all)11 -
Debbie - OMG!!! Destiny is so strong and so is her family. I'm totally speechless.

Its only when I turn from side to side at night, so I appreciate that the evil vertigo gods don't bless me with it during the day.

That's when mine still shows up, too! When I go from sitting up to laying down in the bed, I have to clutch the sheets on both sides because the whirlies make me feel as if I'm going to fall off. The days aren't nearly as bad now I've done the maneuver, but I can still feel it when I look up too quickly and try to focus on something above my head. Which makes grocery shopping a quite interesting procedure, since I'm 5'2" and can barely stand to look at the shelves that are higher than that.
There's certainly a specific tilt to the head that does it! I tend to sit up totally, then turn and nestle into the covers. If I just roll over it triggers a swirl.

Broke down and bought a pouch for Chispa so I can put it in the backpack when we go on our walks. This way I can just throw her in there if I see that she’s too tired. I have been trying to find a used one on OfferUp or Amazon marketplace but they have all been too small her her.

I'm so sorry. I wish they would tell her, but that is definitely a parental decision. What an unthinkable situation.

Heather: What a great outfit!
Flea: The family looks like they are having a good time in Belize!
Debbie: I am sorry about the news about Destiny.
Well I started doing the point system that WW uses. Tues and Wed are my tough days because I go to the Animal Rescue and work pretty hard and don't want to get hungry. I usually go to Starbucks and get a cheese danish so I will have a sugar boost. This is 12 points out of the 23 points I am alloted. I will have to begin to plan the rest of my Tues and Wed meals with this in mind.
I did the Leslie Sansone video that is on u-tube. I read about Leslie on the wickipedia. A couple of years ago without explanation she stopped making videos and participating in social media. People are wondering if she retired or has family issues or is not well. No explanation has been given.
Best,
Mary MacNeil

They think that when they tell her, she will shut down and not try to enjoy what ever time she has left.

Good evening ladies!
Pip what a stylish patio! And I love Chispas' pouch! What a great idea!
Flea Belize looks marvelous!
Rita such a terrible situation. Many hugs for you.
Rori thanks for the encouragement! The support from this group means a lot to me.
Today I ate 1083 calories, Yay! And I did thirty minutes on the bike, and forty reps of my dumbbells, Yay! So my deficit is 512, Yay!
I stuck to my eating plan, and did a tad more exercise. Day 12 of my sister challenge, and it's going very well. Let's hope my scale agrees with me.

I understand. They certainly know what is best for her. Such difficult decisions.

Today we have a coach trip to one of the most scenic places in the world, used over and over again in advertising. I just hope the weather doesn't obscure the view!
We are in the Lofoten Islands. Leknes is the port. We will be going in by tender (small boat transfer). I have been wanting to come here since we missed it on our first ever cruise, up to see Penny in Svalbard. The wind was too strong then, so the ship couldn't get in.
The place we are going to is called Reine. I see it every day on the TV, in an advert for Viking cruises, along with another of our stops, Gerainger Fjord. Crossing fingers for a touch of sun
Love to all and a big halloooo to Flea across the pond!
Love Heather UK xxxxxx7
