    After work made a cake for this lady. We’ll probably go see her Mon or Tues after ceramics. I’d forgotten how hard it is to ice

    Update on pedometer: nope, it isn’t the battery. The time is displaying just fine. I chatted with the company and they say it is a fault of the pedometer and they’re sending me a replacement


    I think this antibiotic is working. My gum is still sore and inflamed, but not as much as it had been’

    I prefer movies that are humorous (like Groundhog Day) or that I can relate to, like Animal House.

    Evelyn – Like you, I don’t get sweaty on cardio machines. My heartrate is up, but I’m just not a person who sweats a lot. If I’m sweating, the ambient air is probably warm

    Speaking of heartrate: pip, I meant to mention, your RHR is wonderful. Last time I checked, mine was in the high 50’s. Not sure if it’s still there

    Katie = sure wish I was given the option of a rental vehicle. Alas, I get to park in the driveway!

    Gyms can be expensive. I believe a family membership to the Y is in the area of $500. I switched to the other gym which was something like $300. However, now that I’m on Silver and Fit (not Silver Sneakers), it’s $50 in either place so I went back to the Y since they have a pool

    Tracey – congrats on the great score . Knew you’d do it!

    Lisa – “so cold you can see people fart” Girl, you just crack me up! Thanks

    I usually have something going on, too. Usually crochet (or some other craft) and ceramics at least

    Annie – (((HUG))))

    Tina – congratulations!

    The other day my neighbor asked me about cutting this tree limb. I honestly thought he was talking about the tree at the back of his property. Well, I put something in Jess’ room and heard this saw so I looked out her window wondering which tree he was referring to. It seems that one tree on the side of our house split the other day in the strong wind. I had no idea. Of course, he could clean up his property. Now I’m wondering just how strong that tree is.

    My new bedspread came so I put it on the bed. I was just getting tired of the old one.

    Took Alfi to see Tom and Elena ,brought her Birthday present..
    I feel horrible for them the house is 63 yrs old and because we have had so much rain the water is seeping up through the foundation they are wet vacing around the clock to keep up,he got rid of the sump pump because it was to close to the oil tank.
    They were both happy to see Alfie..but boy has he aged.. between him bending all week wet vacing and his feet from working on them for 35 + yrs
    Hmmm wondering is this is all karma..
    Though I shouldn't be mean and say such things.
    Smiley Miles had his boots on the right feet lol
    He went home and was watching Toy Story.. they have taking nightmare before christmas out of his repertoire.

    Caught up with everyone. Having a busy time of it.

    Gyms: I used to go to the gym, but I honestly feel that going and coming home is such a waste of precious time. I can work out at home any time I want to.

    Life goes on regardless. We are travelling to Sligo on the West Coast of Ireland for the memorial service for DH’s cousin on Friday morning. It’s a 3 hour journey, and the service is at 1pm. We will probably book into a B&B on Friday night as it would be a long day if we drove back home afterwards.

    I have Creative Writing on Monday morning and Monday painters after lunch. Tuesday morning is Craft.

    We are going to visit DED after lunch tomorrow.

    Heather: Glad you got your wee jobs sorted.
    Allie: 🥰 Smiles and his boots.
    Loving all the family pics.

    Glad that we don’t have those sub-zero temperatures here, as a rule. You need those boilers working, gals.

    🤗 🤗 🤗 and 🙏 🙏 🙏 to Margaret and Annie and anybody else that needs solace.
    Miele failte to our new ladies.

    Barbara – it looks like it was part of the trunk of the tree that was weak. I have a feeling that Vince will want to have it removed (so will I for that matter). I must say, that I’m pretty proud of the fact that I’m continuing my exercise, as much as I can, even tho I’m working. I’ve had to modify it a bit, but I’m still doing something.

    The plan for tomorrow is to do a Jari Love Ripped to the Core DVD, then probably take my walk, then go to WalMart. I peeled the potatoes for tomorrow and cut the ends off the green beans, took the apple crisp out of the freezer. I've never frozen it, but when Lynette called last time to say they couldn't make it, I just froze the one I had rather than making another. I think I need to make a meatloaf for us. I needed chicken or turkey sausage which I’ll get tomorrow

    The first gym membership we got here was just shy of $1000 each for a year ... something like $975 each. (I see they've gone up to $1430/year now for each person.) That was for the main gym/pool in the city.

    After a couple years, we decided it was too expensive and started looking around for something else.

    Then I discovered the university gym (because I had started attending university) and because my husband was over 55 and I was a student, we were able to get memberships for about $500 each. Much better!!

    After he had his accident, we decided the drive 20-30 minutes each way, was too much, and the intensity of the gym was too much for him, so we took the $1000/year we were paying for a gym membership and started buying equipment at home. :)

    So glad we did because when the COVID shutdowns came, we were all set up.


    When I run, my heart rate gets up around 180 bpm. When I've been running regularly for a while, and I'm a bit fitter, it might only get up to about 170 bpm. I wish I could run with a lower HR, but so far, nope. So maybe it is what it is. I do have some valve issues which might contribute to the higher HR.

    When I cycle, my HR is up around 140-150 bpm.

    As long as the room temperature is over about 18C, I will definitely sweat.

    Several years ago, I had a great idea about doing something with all the stuff on the fridge. I bought some things with that great idea in mind. Then I got distracted, and just a few months later, I completely forgot what that great idea was. I still can't remember. But that's one thing I do want to fix. It's really cluttered. Evidently I'll have to come up with a new great idea.

    Machka - Search for "organizing my refrigerator" and I bet you'll find one that shows your great idea from a while back... I use baskets in my fridge, too. Keeps a number of things like cheeses and bread corralled. You have to have bread in the fridge here, or it gets moldy in just a few days.

    There's not much stuff IN the fridge. Unfortunately, there's usually something that's been in there too long and gets the shelves all sticky.

    But it's the outside of the fridge that needs decluttering. There are 1001 things stuck to the outside of the fridge.

    Mainly there are emergency numbers, medic alert info, what to do in case of a seizure, etc. etc. But it's just overwhelming now.

    This will be only our second show. We would do more but dh can't get away from his mom long enough to go do any other ones. The one coming up is just 20 min away and a short show.
    It is fun to do and something dh and I can do together,(that doesn't involve shopping)

    M – when we first moved to NC, the gyms open so late on Sundays that I started getting DVD’s. When Covid hit, I was so glad that I had them!

    Margaret – I am so so very sorry for your loss.
