    Kay - I loved your spoiler piece. The key to balance in our lives is to be at peace with ourselves. And everything is linked. Our health, our mental awareness, our friends, our loved ones, our relationship with the wider world and the 'universe'. For me that word is 'Interbeing', as I explain in my book, but it is whatever each of us understands by deep knowledge of ourselves and our connection to a gorgeous web of something greater than ourselves. When we live a life true to ourselves, and that purpose, then our consumption of food and our exercise settles into its natural place in our lives.
    Thank you for sharing your journey.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Gardening!! That was also a workout because I was wielding my mattock into rocky ground. I hadn't expected this strip I'm tearing up to be this rocky.

    Good morning ladies!

    Rosemarie Machka and Flea,
    Thank you for your comments about my Pharmacy Technician goal. I talked to two totally online schools yesterday. But I also talked to Delaware Technical and Community College. There is a company called ed2go that creates and sells hundreds of courses to hundreds of community colleges. I like that aspect because they can put more effort into the course and the community colleges would have vetted the courses more thoroughly than I can. They said completion rate was 83 percent and of those 90 percent passed the certification exam. So it sounds much better, but it costs three times as much. $3000. So I will be looking into that SEED thing, thanks!

    The ads say experience and certification is preferred. There is not much for licensing in Delaware. There is some chance I could get hired as a trainee, and learn on the job. But I want the certification to compensate for my lack of experience. And maybe age.

    It's all so exciting and scary. I could be working by Christmas!

    Ginny great job on your blood work!

    Machka Almonds or popcorn? Not exactly substitutes but maybe they appeal.

    Rebecca Glad you are enjoying your sons' visit. Yes keep things simple and allow yourself some recovery time.

    Thanks Tina and Lisa! 😊

    Debbie You are a Financial Champion too for paying off your house! Yay!

    Hope you all have a marvelous day!

    I did fifteen minutes on my bike and ten minutes walking! Yay! I can feel a twinge in my right knee, hope it's a muscle getting stronger.

    I’m frustrated! How do I add y’all as friends? When I click on folks’ names it takes me to their profile, which says private. How do I invite people as friends?

    Drkatiebug-my hair started doing that prior to covid. Hormonal changes can impact hair. Too bad that isn't the worst side effect of menopause!

    I have not completely caught up for March but am taking lunch to a friend.



    Debbie: I am in a lower economic area, but I dropped cable and pay around $120 for fast speed internet and a landline.
    Then I have a Fire Stick or Amazon Fire Cube and I add and drop streaming services at my pleasure and as my budget
    allows!

    I am still feeling much better which makes me realize how poorly I was doing. This morning I have walked already and am about to go to lunch. Hopefully this afternoon, I will do yoga and get back to decluttering!

    Best,
    Rosemarie from GA


    Mil has to have the upgraded cable package because of her Japanese station she watches most of the time. She didn't want to pay for internet because she doesn't feel she is using it. She thinks the cameras are there for dh to spy on her or "for the dead people to come to her". The cameras are there so he can check and make sure she hasn't fallen or what ever. A little peace of mind for him if he is at work in the middle of the night, he can check the cameras and see that yes, she is sleeping in her recliner and she is ok. She has the medic alert necklace that we pay for and refuses to wear it($25 a month for it to sit on the counter)

    I didn't go over there this morning- just wanted a break- I got my 6 of 5 days exercise already this week.
    Dh went and bought her the prime rib dinner for her birthday yesterday. The "friend" was still there. MIL didn't eat the dinner and gave it to the "friend"- Dh is so mad. He went out of his way to get it for her, she gives it to this lady, and then this morning, she is mad because the lady took her food(after she gave it to her-another of her mental traps). He told his mom he is not buying food like that with our money just for her to give it away. It is bad enough when it is little things but not a $45 or so dinner. We don't even get that for ourselves on our birthdays.

    Storm seems to have just about stopped- at least the gale force winds from the past two days have died down-Wind advisory is over as of 15 min. ago.

    Going to go to Ace and pick up some seeds- use my $5 coupon for my birthday- has to be regular price item which I never buy much of anything for myself and not at full price.
    Then strawberries at 99cent store then home.
    Need to keep all these printers going. Dh has another show this coming weekend. Going up to Sac. Spending the night at his friends so no hotel costs so they are staying two nights-will be home Sunday night. Will be a very quiet birthday weekend for me. It is Friday but he will be so busy packing everything and getting last minute things done all day, I have my daycare girl for the afternoon so, at most, we will get a quick lunch before I pick her up. He will be going to his mom's while I still have her then come home, load up and leave.
