    Lanette - No enclosed garage, but that's a double-car carport with the light on (20' x 24') backed by a small toolroom and the mudroom that we converted from two tiny, unusable storage rooms and now opens off the kitchen. The rails at the front were covered by morning glory vines all summer. Thanks for the compliment on the house... And just for you:

    Allie - Sounds like a lovely surprise for Doris and a nice lunch for you.

    Kylia - So glad your keys were recovered!

    Later, my babies...

    Talked to a friend today who was diagnosed a year ago with two types of cancer. I decided before I talked to her I would try to get her to tell me other things other than her cancer treatment. Living with someone who has cancer and now other health complications I know how too much medical talk can be a downer. I did let her tell me some of it because talking about it helps her remember what she needs to do to help her treatment Then I would try to get her to tell me about some of her travels and how fun it was that the hummingbirds visited her planters this year.

    All the doctors tell her to drink more water. I need to do this too. She said it is hard for her to drink much water at a time. I suggested she just take a few sips throughout the day. She does have trouble thinking very clearly and being dehydrated makes it worse. I came up with a catch phrase drink so you can think.

    I found this helped me. As I did a list of chores on this rainy day. I would take a small drink after each chore. I repeated drink so I can think mantra.

    Three years ago today...today we had rain...<img src="https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.6435-9/122322185_1340330169640124_3675146091014478372_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=7f8c78&_nc_ohc=IPKH1uTMslwAX_osaN4&_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&oh=00_AfDNMqGholU_ZhklqEo6M5PERTbRlij1cAXVMzoQMCueNQ&oe=65600138&quot; alt="No photo description available."/>im2dfl4jny1s.png

    Nice set up, Lisa. I've never used an easel, but then, I mainly do watercolour on paper. I have been thinking of acrylics on canvas, but haven't got around to it. We haven't had a session since we got back, mainly because I'm in rest mode because of the UTI. I hope to soon try painting one of my holiday photos.
    I haven't had a writing session either. I'm in suspension. I'm telling myself that's OK. It's all part of a natural wave of energy. I'm enjoying just being.
    The book is almost finished. The time will come.

    Barbie - Congratulations! Lovely to see the three of you. <3

    Because of our flu jabs and my UTI, we didn't volunteer to have the girls earlier this week for half-term. DDIL has made other arrangements. So when we volunteered for later in the week, yesterday, they were booked up! Now they are coming over on Saturday, which is not ideal, as it is John's sport-watching afternoon, but he is happy to sacrifice it. I'm quite glad I have a few more days to recover.

    Tonight is French Circle. It's pouring out there at the moment. :# John's sister is on holiday in Brittany, France, at the moment, with her daughter, and it has rained A LOT. The North and Scotland have had terrible flooding, with 4 people killed. Here it's been intermittent, but I think the next few days will be worse. If it's still pouring tonight, I may skip it. TV good tonight. :embarassed:

    Today’s gratitude: Joe’s going uncomplainingly to DDS tor periodic maintenance, and maybe a haircut. During the pandemic when his hair got really Biblical, I cut it twice. First time went amazingly well, second, not so much ;}
    10/24: Move: 2 sets PT w/2 sets D, chair yoga, dogs to powerline, Jeopardy walking. Steps:7902
    Fuel: sugar in vs mfp=-5 , CI<CO net=277 vits=1
    Live: Joe, readings, BP, AD, AF, ptT, ptS, activate MC, text with Ru, filing. Wt:
    Biopsy came in basal cell. Could be way worse. Told Joe that between consultations, extractions, Mohs surgery, and possible implants I might as well move to Medford for the winter. :{
    Barbie :love: Annie’s expression, her eyes and ears, could she have some Weimaraner?
    Lanette thanks for the Mike the Physio bands video link. I have a set of bands in ziplock bags to prevent tangling… ;) time to dig them out from my travel bag.
    Only through pg 51 but rainsound is putting me to sleep.

    Later, lighter, lovelies!
    Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD x8zcp1ya37k1.gif
    October: Move more: chair yoga, line dance, dailyish PT, play with dogs.
    Fuel better: less sugar, dailyish vitamins.
    Live NOW: dailyish time with Joe, readings. Open heart and mind before mouth.

    Dishes put away, meds sorted for DH, laundry sorted and started, bed stripped, mild morning. Good start for productive day.

    Barbie Congratulations! Great picture.

    Lisa I love your place. It is amazing how far you have brought it. We are still trying to get garage addition built.....I told DH that we could do insulation and drywall...he said no. When we wanted the room addition the contractor did blueprints, permits, materials, and workers. For the garage it looks like we will have to get blueprints, one company will do the structure, another the gutters and doors, another for electrical, and we may still end up doing drywall ;) I think that shows the state of the trades workforce. We have been 8 months trying to get this done. Our room addition from beginning to end was only 6 months 10 years ago.
