    :) I wear jeans exclusively. I found a style that fits and is comfortable. But it doesn't matter what kind of clothing it is, finding exactly what I want via internet shopping is a challenge. Going into a store wouldn't be any better except that I'd know sooner that I couldn't find what I want and then not know where to go next. Everything I'm wearing now was purchased online except my hat that was knitted by me from yarn I purchased online. Persistence and patience are required which is true for most of our life situations. I am grateful for the store in my town that accepts UPS and Amazon returns.

    Aren't you hot in jeans?

    It has to be quite a chilly day for me to wear long pants to work otherwise I am roasting hot .. dripping sweat.

    I'll likely keep wearing capris and knee-length leggings with skirts throughout this first month of winter.

    :)Machka, I am much colder than most people so long pants work for me year round. On an especially hot day, I'll wear a short sleeve shirt. Our weather here is moderate even in the summer.

    :) The puppy just turned the door knob to let herself into the second bedroom so she could lie on the bed and chew on a sock she swiped from a pile of laundry Jake left on the floor. Earlier she was on our bed chewing on a rock she brought in from the yard.

    :)Meg, It's good to see you again. I hope you'll come back regularly.

    Meg--Good to see you post. Have missed you.
    Lanette--I think you should take Gladys with you as a support chicken. I am surprised at all the dogs I see people taking in stores.
    Lisa--I get to go see the gyn doctor tomorrow. I have put it off for almost a month, but the problem is getting worse. I just do not like the idea of them messing around down there.
    I had one interview for my job this morning. On the phone she seemed excited, no so much when talking with her. I have another one at 5 this afternoon.
    Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND NE <3

    Uncomfortable in the evenings. Especially the wound site. I've been lying on an ice pack, which helps, but I guess the hip is just tired by then. I've taken some more painkillers, so I should be able to sleep.
    Nice to see my son, who had some photos of his trip. During one particularly vertiginous ride, he bottled out with vertigo, and got in the van that accompanied them. He brought me some matured goats cheese from the region. Delicious!
    Our fish was divine, chips, not so much, but I had a great discount, so not bad. Full price would be too much.
    We had fresh cherries with our Basque cheese.

    Welcome back, Meg! I've missed you. <3

    The hospital rang me this afternoon, to check on how I was doing. :)

    Yes, gyny stuff is not fun. I've had so much of it in my time. Never one's first choice for a day out.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Just finished my Zoom with my girlfriends, and my son should be returning John in half an hour, and visiting. I have promised I won't go downstairs alone in the house. :)
    I've got some face on, which is nice, and changed my clothes. Walking around is much easier and I can use my crutches in the walk through style, like Nordic poles. I can even get by with one crutch, but the physio told me to wait until I'm not limping. Very little pain.
    I've got my physio appointment for the 17th.

    Just got to find a way of washing my hair. John may have to turn on his shower for me, as I have no idea how to use it, and then I can have a quick one. (Mine is up steep stairs). The dressing is shower proof, but you are not meant to spray it directly with water.

    Tonight is fish and chips delivery. :D

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    I'm glad you're doing all right after the surgery. :smile:

    Oh Kim I meant to mention how great it is about your doggie sitting! We always have a house sitter whenever we are away. I'm sure you do love the furry attention! Meg

    Today’s gratitude: no real bad neighbor drama.
    Pip, yes she looks comfortable and confident no one will step on her or disturb her.
    Machka hadn’t heard the term “nightmare disorder” but the recurrent nightmares I had as a child (and occasionally thereafter) seem to fit. Often said what a relief it was to wake up and get to go to work. ;} ((hugs))
    Margaret, bravissima!
    Vicki ((hugs))
    Barbie turned the knob herself? :noway: what is it about our husbands’ socks that are so irresistible to our pooches? ;)
    Debbie so glad you got a sweet younger lady skin doctor this time. After a bad experience I refuse to see a male dermatologist. Hooray for the “all’s clear”!
    Heather rejoicing the pain is lessening. Good luck with the shower.
    Kim congrats on the new business! Wish you were about 400 miles closer ;)
    Arrived 10 minutes before the lab opened, only to find 7 or 8 people in line before me. With only one tech, knew there was no way I’d be able to get home, make breakfast in time to pick T up at the auto shop. Instead indulged in fat breakfast (French toast and bacon) at a local café. NOT the way to fuel better than yesterday. Good long walk with T helped the CI stay < the CO. Now just need to get up and to the PT exercises that I skipped this morning. . . and start the laundry. . . and and and …

    Later, lighter, lovelies!
