MFP Weekly Check-in March 18, 2024
Sue in WA State - Did my yoga 7/7 times this week, strength and balance 5/5 and made it to water exercise twice. I was able to do two 5 minute walks but sinus infection is making that hard. I need to divorce food from emotion. Thinking about doing some journaling to help with that. I journaled in the past but have not done much since moving to WA.
Kylia in Ohio - I haven't posted as was out of town, then ill. I lost .7 pounds at beginning of March and so far maintaining. Only 11 more to go! Just treading along trying to make the best decisions I can in the moment.
Rita in Roswell NM - I’m up .3 of a pound this week. Did not walk as much as I should. I’ll blame it on the weather, but it was just my mood.
Evelyn on Vancouver Island BC - This has not been a good week, I have made some poor food choices and while that may not have been the worst thing to happen, I have also overindulged in these poor choices. Also, if sitting is the new smoking, I'm up to a couple packs a day! Needless to say, my weight is up this week. Some of the poor choices were on the salty side, so I shall be trying to up my water intake and down my sugar intake and see what happens! Oh and try to be more active!
Lanette in SW WA State- Celebrating weight staying at lower end of my desired range and sore foot/toes are showing improvement. Navigating diet to eliminate or at least cut way back on simple sugars and “white carbs” – rice, white flour products/breads, potatoes. Goal is to get FBS under 110 or closer to 100. Need to turn that A1C around, it’s heading the wrong direction.

April - I'm so pleased to hear that your son's awake! Pleased, too, that the blood work was good. Glad they're going through with the tests to follow up on the heart.
Heather - Take the advice and go to a real doctor. Your health and movement are the key to all the rest. John would rather have you healthy and happy than go on a cruise any day.
I was walking around the side of the house, checking on a large dog that came running through the yard, and ran into this.
In order: Walked around to the side and saw that stump sticking up. Looked at it again, and realized it was almost exactly centered on that end of the house - had this tree not slid down as it was falling, instead of breaking off clean, it wouldn't have slanted its fall so it missed the house by a couple of inches. The last picture is looking back toward the path of its fall.
We got lucky on this one...
I heard only a bump a couple of hours ago, about the same loudness as Egg pushing something off a shelf, and even walked back to that bedroom to see if she had broken something. I never looked out the window though!
I wonder if Egg pushed it over! 😀👀😈😍
Still saying "Wow."
Later, y'all,
Lisa in AR

Thank you Annie 🤗 And good luck on hitting your weight loss goal in July. You got this!
Lisa - I would love to see your raised garden bed when it's done. I'm always looking for inspiration to use in my own garden.
Kim - Thanks for the tip on using hardware cloth in raised beds. I live out in the country in the woods, so we have a lot of moles and gophers we have to deal with. I'm writing that tip down so I don't forget! 📝
Lanette - I still have a Randy McNally Road Atlas! I do use GPS on my phone quite often, but when my husband and I are traveling and we lose signal, we always have that book of maps to fall back on.
Allie - Sorry to hear about Alfie. Hope the treatment works well for him.
I'm participating in a challenge this week, to avoid LNS. I don't really have a problem with snacking, but I do tend to eat a late supper. (Around 7pm to 8pm) So I'm off to make something to eat, so I can cut off eating or drinking after 6pm. I don't think I'll have a problem with no eating, but I do enjoy my evening cup of coffee. ☕🥺

No Easter plans here, but then, I didn't grow up with Easter celebrations. I remember a couple Easter events, but usually only because a grandparent was coming. Mama wasn't the type to hide an Easter egg, but I do have memories of dying Easter eggs, possibly for some school function or another.
Haven't quite gotten out in front of the pain this morning, but hoping to soon... Have been able to get my hourly walks inside the house--too cold to work outside this morning.
FedEx brought the genie bras I ordered last week already. Finally, something that fits. I've tried the odd-brand ones, but they clutch me in such weird ways that I honestly was wondering if I was having a heart attack with one of them. I have enough issues - don't need weird-fitting bras gumming up the works! I've had Genie bras that lasted ten years or more, so I decided to go see if I could find them, Walmart had them for $9.99 for three, and they fit!
Am starting the move online with my planner - I do get tired of hauling one around all the time, and my fingers, which don't hurt at all when I'm typing, start hurting within moments when I'm clutching a pen or pencil. I'll eventually figure it all out.
Later, y'all,
Love,
Lisa in AR
I'm not sure I could have made it through the past 6 years without Google calendar accessible wherever I am!
M in Oz2 -
Lisa - That really is WOW!
Amazing luck!
The wheels of the NHS grind extremely slow. To see the hospital doctor is a minimum of 21 weeks after referral. I am feeling so low about that, that I really am coming around to private treatment. It would take all my savings and it is against my principles. But I do not want to waste away in misery.
Allie - So sorry about the Lymes. <3
April - Wonderful news!
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx5 -
April: Wonderful news about your son!
Lisa: I looked up the Genie Bras and see the 3 for 9.99. I plan to place an order this evening. Thanks for the tip!
MargaretTurk: We used Car Max several times to sell vehicles. We have had a situation when their offer was 1k higher than the dealer offer.
Heather: I read a book on Catherine the Great. And then by co-incidence The University of Georgia had an exhibition of some of the art she owned and her jewelry. They paired this with a concert with music from her era. Then there was a cocktail hour we attended. The people at the cocktail hour were very friendly. We had a nice time. However their hobby was going to Europe to purchase art. My husband and I were never sure if that cocktail party was really open to the public like we thought. Maybe we crashed it! We weren't sure!
Joy: The walk with the dogs sounds like fun..for you and them!
Beth: The St Patrick's day brownies sound delicious!
Rori: Have fun at Madonna's concert. I liked Cyndi Lauper back in the day. I did get to a Cyndi Lauper concert!
Sunny here today, but expected to go close to freezing tonight. I have petunias I purchased as Lowe's sitting on my dining room table. I guess they will stay there over night. I have weeds in the grass and need to think about what product to buy to eliminate those. I hate putting chemicals on the grass because my son visits with his Dogs.
Lanette: I didn't want to do what the young people sometimes do and "ghost" my friend. I knew she knew there were increasing difficulties with the friendship, so I don't think this was a sudden surprise. I asked for distance in the friendship...because I know i will see her again...small town, mutual friends. i have told a couple of people the decision was mutual. I have said nothing of the details of relationship.
One occurrence I will mention occurred around Valentine's Day. She asked me several times to go to a concert with her on Valentine's Day evening. She is a close friend and I responded several times that the day was special to me and I probably wouldn't make it through the evening. So I declined to go to the concert. Recall this is my first Valentine's as a widow. I have read enough widow and grief literature to understand I probably should have deferred by saying I had other plans that evening. Well the conversation, by text, quickly deteriorated into something you would read in a grief book. She texted me about going out on anniversaries and holidays and said horrible things about grief that no widow should ever read/hear. I have had an okay year. I have not talked with her about grief or loss. I have not been a needy person. She just felt she had advice to give on how a widow should spend holidays, birthdays anniversaries and so forth. The books say your closest friends and relatives can be the hardest to deal with. And this turned out to be true. I was glad i had read some books so I wasn't completely shocked by what she said.
Best,
Rosemarie from Georgia

Tracey- no, mom still hasn't told her to leave. I guess she came real close to it the other night but didn't.
She knows she needs to. She just hates confrontation. We are gently pushing.3 -
April, so happy to hear that your son is awake.
Allie, sorry to hear about your doggie. Hopefully with the meds he will make a full recovery. Good that you took him to the vet.
Went grocery shopping this morning and picked up 3 small sour cabbage heads. Plan is to make my cabbage rolls for Easter later this week and then freeze them. Easter is slowly coming together. Got Miss Lucy booked in for her much needed groom March 26th.
Joy4 -
Heather - From someone who's dealt with pain more in the last few years than in my whole life combined, I've finally begun to truly understand why those who are tortured will say anything, do anything to make it stop. You just have to decide what's most important.
Cor's making dinner, smells wonderful... I'm still not ahead of my own pain, so ensconced in my chair with my feet up. Pleased that I got through 25 minutes of yoga+, as well as 13 minutes on the elliptical. Talked to my best friend, who is not going to make it up here for the elliptical (thank goodness!) and my daughter, whose daughter's 9th birthday is tomorrow. This is a pic from 9 years ago, and some of y'all may remember this one...
I always thought she was looking at me like she wasn't quite too sure what to think. She still does on occasion. Very bright little soul, who I miss terribly.
Later y'all,
Love,
Lisa in AR6 -
Oh and forgot to add,
Rosemarie - glad the heads-up on the Genie bras was a good buy for you too, good bras are hard to find these days! And I meant to say how pleased I am for you that you stood up for yourself with the "friend" who was pushing you so hard. Southern women, in particular, are raised to believe that everyone has to love us, and realizing that you deserve different behavior from someone isn't always easy to hold onto. I'm proud of you. You deserve better than she was able to give.3 -
Pip-hope you can enjoy trip even with the cold.
Kylia-sounds like weekend was what you needed.
Annie-nice for you to know your Dad's driving isn't bad. He may get lost but not in a wreck!
Heather-I hope you can get a formal medical opinion before cancelling everything. You need to do what is best for you. I hope John isn't getting fearful that he may be in a situation similar to his last relationship.
Tracey-you baked more loaves over the weekend than I have in my life!
April-outstanding news about your son!
Lisa-definitely lucky with the tree. That could have been really bad,
Allie-sorry to hear about Alfie and lymes, Curious as to whether you have been tested for it? It often shows up several weeks past pet being bit by tick, Often the tick can be shared by human. You have been feeling tired, etc, for several weeks.
Rosemarie-good for you for letting go of a toxic person. There is no guide book for being a widow, We feel what we feel. If you were locking yourself in your house for months at a time, that may be reason for concern, but wanting to pass on Valentines day (especially first one)-not strange at all.
Well, made it through work today. With he snow and the cold I could have stayed under the covers! Day went well. Had a couple of meetings, caught up on paperwork. Take care to shop in morning for 30,000 mile check. No clue what that will cost. However, I plan to keep up with recommended items. I want to take care of this car. Will work from home after that (my scheduled day), then clock off around 3:15 to get massage.
Need to get trash to the curb and put blankets I washed last night into dryer. Will put last of blankets in washer tonight. Then I am going to do that task foreign to several of you-the ironing!
Take care all,

Pip-nice camper. Notice that there is a king bed for you and Kirby and a fold out for the kids-or do they get the big bed? Your leg mad me hurt. Take care of that burn.2

April So happy to hear your son is awake. Also good news on the blood work.
Heather I know you will make the best decision for you!
Lisa Scary about the tree!
Pip OUCH!!!! Take care of that! Aloe? Congrats on camper! She's beautiful!
Lanette I still have a rand McNally! I however truly depend on waze.
Absentee ballots dropped in ballot box and massage tonight. Tomorrow early 7 am is boob squash-ugh. My truck hood latch sensor wasn't working. Sent to dealer today. $620 later because of SQUIRRELS! They ate the wires while we were in Maryland. They also chewed the lower cover of my Flex when I left it out one day. No other damage that we've noticed yet. So far the vehicle damage tally is over $2500 since Fall! We didn't have these problems when we had large dogs! Still not ready for more, but getting really close!
At least truck is fixed! And it was the work truck.
Time for sleep.
Congratulations on maintaining and losses!
Proud to call you ALL friends!
Keep on keeping on!

Did a spining workout toay The plan for tomorrow is to do a Lower Body Total Body DVD.
Rori – I can just see you enjoying every minute
My eye still hurts a bit, I think it’s more allergies than anything else. But it’s a real pain, with the bright sun down here my eyes want to close.
When the kids were little we’d color eggs, I hid them, we always took baskets to church to be blessed. Oh, the memories
Allie – HUG
April – yippee for you and your son. Good blood work but take it easy
After the spinning workout wet on the elliptical for an hour. I guess my pedometer only registers steps if you pick your foot up. Then took a walk to the grocery store just to put some plastic bags in for recycling then to the dollar store to get a birthday card for Jess. On my way home stopped at the post office to mail the card. Then in the sun and pool only it stared to rain. Then again, this is Florida, in 5 minutes the sun was out.
Pip – when do you get it? Congrats
kylia – too bad we can’t bill squirrels! So sorry that happened to you
Michele

Lisa, Yikes on the tree! You sure did get lucky with that one! I wasn't here when your granddaughter was born, thank you for posting that pic, she is adorable!
Heather, I wasn't here when Bea was born either, thank you for posting the pic, another adorable baby! And she's growing up into quite the little lady, loved the dress and bolero! I'm sorry that the results from the X-ray were difficult and that it's so hard to get in to see a Dr. It can take up to two years for joint replacements here. I'm not sure when that time is calculated from, I believe it's from the time the surgeon sees you and as I understand it, it can take a year or so for that to happen. I totally understand your not wanting to spend your money on private care, I would not be happy about that either. When you have a publicly funded health program, you're supposed to be able to use it when you need it!
Pip, the trailer is gorgeous! The burn looks quite painful, sure hope it heals quickly!
Kylia, bleeping squirrels..... Here they just eat my flower bulbs. Or at least they did til I "planted" chicken wire over top of them To be clear, I put the chicken wire over the bulbs, not the squirrels....
Allie, I'm glad you were able to get together with Carmine for her b-day, sorry that it was so difficult. I just can't help thinking that she's acting just like Kyle.... I hope the antibiotics for Alfie will do the trick!
Tracey, are you finished your course now? I know you still have to do a practicum, when will you be able to start looking for work?
Machka, I truly admire you for all of the adjustments you have had to make since Rowan had his accident. I know you had some pretty tough times at the beginning and it seems to have been a pretty steep learning curve, but you've rocked it!
Debbie, how nice that you had a lovely weekend with your mom and it's so great that the "young" man is going to help out with planting etc. Hope you are able to find out what the problem is with your car soon.
Rosemarie, it's too bad that your "friend" felt it was her place to tell you how to deal with your grief. After all, it's your grief, not hers and only you can decide how to go through it. I loved the photo of the tulips and am very glad that you enjoyed yourself on your weekend getaway! Was this the yoga retreat? Or is that still in the future?
Today has been a fairly good day. I had expected to have a few friends over this afternoon, but one was feeling like she might be coming down with something and another had just come back from Disneyland and wants to make sure she's not coming down with something before she ventures out too much. A third is currently in Disneyland so we just cancelled and we'll try again next week. I went to the gym in the morning (33 min on elliptical, 23 min on treadmill, almost 10 of that walking backwards. Would have been 10 but I backed into the emergency stop button - GRRRR) I then went to a couple of stores and bought some gladiola bulbs and mini daffs, got mini irises yesterday. Also got 6 primulas yesterday and got them planted yesterday. Today I tackled the others and then hubby and I washed the car. And then, just to round out the afternoon, I swept all the flora off our deck. Had to bag it and haul it outside (no ground access from our deck) as we had just swept off the lower deck yesterday! Hubby would not have been impressed had I just swept it off the edge (I've done that before! But not when we've just cleaned down below) It wasn't horrible, only about half a large garbage bag of dry cedar (mostly) "fronds", messy but not heavy.
I was very much done after all that! My apologies for the long post, apparently I had a lot to say today!
Evelyn, Vancouver Island, where the weather has been stunning and is supposed to be the same tomorrow! YAY!

Annie - you are doing so well.
I have only used real butter since 2015. When we were cleaning our parents house out we found a “new” tub of margarine in the cupboard that was so old the writing was faded on the tub. We opened the container thinking mom had rice or something in it and it was never used margarine. No smell, no oils on top nothing. My brother and I both stopped using it then, when I told my son-in-law who works at a dairy he said he would never eat margarine, and a lot of other stuff.
I think a lot of what they have said in the past is “better” for us has been proven to be worse than the original. Even eggs are good for us again now.
In truth it’s all a guessing game I think, one study says one thing another says something else.
I am not having a traditional Easter dinner this year, my best friend comes the week after Easter and we are going to have a family dinner then.
Heather - did the clinic have any suggestions about what might be happening?
Lisa - I am in need of bras so looked up Genie bras, Walmart here doesn’t carry them. A 3 pack here on Amazon is $51 what a difference.
Kim - those sound like some good memories.
I did scavenger hunts with my girls for Easter instead of doing eggs a few years they loved it. No I usually buy everyone a chocolate bunny, but I’m not doing that this year
Tina - I was telling Rodger the other day that I thought Galveston looked like a nice place to visit someday.
Lanette - I remember a story from NB regarding GPS. A travelling nurse followed her GPS blindly, it took her onto an old logging road. She ended up running out of gas and cell service. She was found 3 days later. This occurred in January, luckily she had food and some candles in her car, I always look at a map as well as using my GPS when I need to go to an unfamiliar area.
I don’t have any physical maps, but will look at maps online.
I broke off a friendship when she stole from me. She even had the audacity to try to friend me on FB a few years ago!
I have also had to step back from a friend for my own mental health for a bit, but she has gotten the help she so desperately needed and we are friends again, never as close as we were though. When she spiralled before her diagnosis she shared some of my secrets online. We have been friends since I was 14, her children are my Godchildren and I understood it was her disease causing the behaviour. She was 50 years old before finally being diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, I know she suffered for years with it.
April - great news about your son and your cardiologist appointment.
Lisa - what a lovely photo of you with your granddaughter. I wasn’t around at that time.
Ginny- I throw bananas in the freezer and when the freezer needs a clearing I bake some bread. It’s the only thing I bake on any sort of regularity. Yesterday’s baking was because Michaela wanted dessert. I didn’t think we needed it and she can take muffins to school this week.
Pip - will you need a new vehicle to haul that trailer? I think that’s the brand my cousin has and they really like theirs.
I hope your burn heals fast.
I started a new session this morning, it’s for English language learners. I need to conduct an interview with a bilingual person. I guess my first step is to find someone bilingual.
Evelyn - This is a two week course, then I have two one week courses and start my practicum on April 15th or ends on June 20th. I’ll be hopefully getting hired on my practicum to start in September.
I went into the city and met the new doctor, I guess he’s going to take me on. He seemed nice enough, he checked what meds I’m on, asked about family history and looked over my last tests to see what I need coming up.
I feel better knowing I have a doctor.
I think my dishwasher has decided to die. It’s making a terrible noise and won’t start.
It is only 4 years old. Of course, no warranty left. When it wasn’t draining last year the repairman told me it wasn’t worth fixing. I have been able to get it to drain most of the time, I’m hoping I can figure out how to get it working a few more months at least.
Kylia - that’s getting to be pricy.
Kaitlyn is coming tomorrow to help me go through more pictures.
I’m really enjoying doing this with her.
Their GoFundMe had stalled so I hadn’t mentioned anything about it, but there was a $1000 donation this weekend.
They are about $500 away from being able to do the first part of the process. She has been looking for work since her last job closed its doors, she has found a job to apply for, so hopefully that works out for her.
I did not sleep well last night. I don’t think I shut my light off, for any length of time, until 1am. I then woke up at 430 and tossed and turned for quite a while before reading, then watching the end of a movie. The movie was so terrible I thought for sure I would fall asleep. Of course, when my alarm went at 8 I was sleeping nice and sound.

From my experience, those in Allied Health are much more likely to get things moving than a public GP.
Thus, I went back to my optometrist today and asked her to send a letter to my GP about my ultra-dry eyes and possible Sjogrens. That will have a greater chance of encouraging my GP to send me for further testing than would me making an appointment and going in out of the blue.
It seems sort of backward to the way it used to be.
Have you had obtained a referral to a public specialist yet?
For something like hip replacements here, you'd be waiting a long, long time to see someone and even longer for a surgery. It might be something like 5 years.
But that's why I have private insurance ... to shorten the wait on notoriously long-wait things.
M in Oz2 -
This morning I bit the bullet and booked an appointment with a private consultant. I felt really weird and guilty. However, I am not prepared to suffer on, taking loads of painkillers. No quality of life.
I've booked for after the ANP is going to ring me next Monday, so I have an idea of what to expect from the NHS. Mr Gibbs also works at the hospital, which reassures me. With his assessment, I will feel more confident if I ring Saga to cancel the cruises on medical grounds.
Moving forward.

I forget to start making dinner early enough to be done eating by 6.
Will catch up with more later. Have a great week!
Tina in CA
Why does dinner need to be finished by 6 pm?
That's about when I get home from work, and we often eat dinner about 7 pm.SophieRosieMom wrote: »I read something about keeping our brains young. When we become too dependent on technology - mapping/GPS on our phones and in our cars and even calculators, for example, these important parts of our brain eventually atrophy. People who hike on unfamiliar trails often fail to pay attention to visual clues and landmarks as they walk, thinking if they get lost they can find their way back to the trail via their phones. And get nearly hopelessly lost when their phones die or there's no service. Interesting, isn't it?
I started out a map reader with 911 and working with the county road department and will continue, although I generally glance at online maps before I head out to a new spot to identify cross streets. I still try to use addition, subtraction, multiplication and long division on paper when I'm solving a math problem instead of automatically using a calculator. Makes me wonder if kids who always depended on this technology will ever develop that part of their brain that served us and our ancestors for eons, or maybe they'll develop it in other ways to deal with technology? And does failure of development of this part of the brain alter other parts involving problem solving or something else?
Who of you still have your Rand McNally US road map? or Metzger maps?
I still have all my paper maps of places around the world. But I rarely refer to them anymore. I use Google maps.SophieRosieMom wrote: »I sat glued in my chair yesterday and finished "Lessons in Chemistry". Brought back a lot of painful memories about getting a job in a "man's world", lower pay and the expectations we dealt with not only from men, but from other women as well. It had a very good ending. I always feel guilty when I consume a book in an a day that the author probably labored months or years writing.
Our age difference shows here. I was often the only woman or one of just a few women in the areas in which I trained and worked, but I don't have any painful memories regarding lower pay and expectations.
Very early on, when I was 20 and had just got married, I had a few older women (like my grandmother's age) tell me that they supposed I was going to quit working and quit school and be a housewife ... and they were a bit taken aback when I told them that I was not quitting anything! But that was the closest I came to a "man's world" barrier.
So thank you for paving the way!SophieRosieMom wrote: »I took another stab at contacting McAfee customer service yesterday. Of course the call went to the Philippines again but this time I had a male on the other end of the line. After telling him repeatedly to SLOW DOWN when he talked or get someone whose native language was English on the line, It helped. I read recently that if a person is speaking to a senior who is hard of hearing, keep your voice low and speak slowly - we lose the upper range as we age so a high pitched female voice can come out garbled.
He helped me a little bit, at least steered me in the right direction. I did get a few slams in on McAfee's dirty tricks but told him it wasn't his fault and thanks for listening.
Didn't have to use any "fowl" language, lol.
It took me a little while, mainly because I didn't have the time, but I figured out how to disable and remove McAfee from my computer. Problem solved!!
