Today is: a day to rest!

Barbie, thank you for starting us off on the right track for September!
My vertigo is very minimal these days. Just a couple swirling (and not complete swirls, those make me catch my breath). My head, and neck are achy but that usually takes a bit to get over.
Nice weekend for me though. On Thursday I was able to video chat with my middle sister. She found another album with loads of photos of our eldest sister, baby photos and also lots of photos of our Mom's childhood. I'm thinking this was the album my eldest sister had wished for a couple of years ago, but my sister had misplaced it. Amazing because she just lives in the basement there, how many places could it have been? It was a nice conversation for about 2 hours. I talked with my eldest sister the next day about it. We might just save our middle sister from "delegating" who gets what photo, and who gets originals etc, by my eldest sister and I visiting my middle sister in the next couple months. Personally I think all baby photos of my eldest sister should just go directly to her, no copies made. They are her photos. Anywhooo, fun times in a druggy basement...
On Friday night we were able to video chat with our middle son, Athena, and eldest son in CA chimed in too! Athena is enjoying going to kindergarten and making friends.💖👍🏼 It's always nice to sit and watch my sons chatting with each other. My youngest son had duty I think. He was able to chat with me in video chat as he was walking off base in Japan. He is managing but he's definitely at a crossroads in relation to what he's dealing with. He seems upbeat about it though.💖🙏

Didn't get a screenshot of Athena, and the eldest and middle though. We were too busy, I forgot!
Oh a NSV these days. My nails have finally started to grow! Its been years since I had any. They are rock hard.
Lousy photo but you get the idea. Its hard to hold a tablet, click the button with one hand!😂
Oh up at 6:40 am today, getting ready for another week of exercising! Well for a couple days (Tuesday-Thursday).
Hugs ladies!

So sorry Annie.
I found myself really sad, having to say goodbye to my gorgeous surgeon today. He's signed me off, and hopes my knee will get better by itself. Seems optimistic. Otherwise, it's going to be an expensive re-visit!
I did have a crush on him, and there is that business of him having seen my every naked part! Excellent bedside manner, so attentive. Felt very down when I got home. I have had severe crushes on doctors before and even wrote a short story about one of them. Oh well.
In real life I haven't fancied any men since I met John. Of course, the occasional TV person pops into my consciousness. Just reminds me I'm not dead yet.
Yesterday's meet up with my old friend lasted 4 hours! We chatted on the seafront after the fish lunch. She is heavily into psychological workshops, even though she teaches similar, and she and her male partner go to tantric s e x workshops and more.
What fun! I think the poor people at the next table were scandalised. Otherwise the chat was the usual, about holidays, careers etc. Definitely will meet her up in London when I'm more mobile.
Now must go and prepare dinner. Baked cod with crispy topping and crushed peas with olive oil.

Barbara AHMOD-I'm actually kind of back to start. When the place I loved wanted me to move everything up to August (NO) while waiting for money back, I gave alot more thought to what I want and need. A couple of weeks ago they came back to me with. decent offer for the place I love and I could take possession mid November. I thought about living in two places, etc. for several months most likely and decided it was stupid to spend the extra money (and if would have been a chunk). I also started considering if I would not be better served to move into a place that has independent living with an assisted living option-that could cut down on a move. I don't think I need real assistance right this minute, but it can change anytime. So I am taking my time and working back down the list!
Debbie-very good news about your mom's roommate. Unbelievable she did not let the gentleman know she was leaving-i hope she didn't take any of his possessions with her! I would guess he mainly just had a few clothes but still-what a piece of work!
Still been taking it easy today-researching some internet stuff. Stopped by store for a few things. Laundry in dryer.
Talk of decluttering has me empowered to go clear off my office desk!
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio

came across this- from our 35th reunion- Out in the middle of a huge vineyard. Very rustic.
We now have the reunions at another classmates winery-not so far up a dirt road as this one was.
this one was our multi-class reunion at the winery-4 classes together. Our next one will just be 2 classes I think

Debbie – the roommate didn’t need to say goodbye. As long as she’s gone, who cares??? That’s nice of your mom to let that migrant worker sleep in her garage. What about his things?
Frenchfancy – welcome! What kind of protein breakfast did you have?
Barbara – I won’t clean for Denise. I only get to see my grandson two days out of the year and I will not spend that time cleaning. Besides, if I were to clean, what kind of message would that send to Denise, Pete, and PJ “you can’t clean good enough so I’ll do it for you”. No, I’d rather make memories with PJ than clean. Heck, they can hire a cleaning lady if they need to. I’d want to put things away, and it probably wouldn’t be where they would want it, so that would only create friction. No way.
Annie – good for you on that bike
Seems we are going to start bringing in the Christmas decorations
Rebecca – my nails have always been on the soft side
Gotta go start bringing in the decorations. This should be VERY interesting with 4 curious kitties.
Michele NC6 -
Michele ~ Would love to see photos of the kitties!
What kind of decorations are you bringing in? I suppose Fall ones.
Heather ~ Had to look up the workshops your friend conducts. WOW! Another new word/term for me.
Ginny ~ Thoughtful to think about future living needs. I hope you find a place that you like and that will also be good as you continue to go through life.
Rebecca ~ Your 3 sons look so much alike! Glad you are able to have ZOOMs with them.

Yes, it put my mind at ease a bit, seeing them all. My youngest has a lot on his plate, and his Crohn's possibility might just do his career in, but we talked about the possibility of that. He knows the reality of this. I told him there is loads more testing they have to do in order to officially diagnose him with it, so stay objective, but also come to terms with the worst possible outcome. He agreed with me on that. And will also speak with his Chaplain on all these things, to help him get thru.💖👍🏼

My eldest son snapped this screenshot when I was pointing my tablet at husband, and Lee was telling him something. Funny his head fit right on his dads fuzzy body.😂

MFP Weekly Check-in for September 2, 2024
Rita in Roswell NM – My work paid off! Down 3.1 pounds last week to 171.5, 2.8 for month of August, 10.8 for the last 90 days, 7.9 for last 6 months, 1 pound for year which tells me I put a lot of this weight on this year and now am losing ‘old’ weight. And I am 35 pounds less than my highest weight 8 years ago of 210! Heading in this right direction with this eating plan for life!
Barbara on the Southern Oregon Coast - WT 129.0 lowest since last December. August average down 1.7lb from July average. All activities (BB&B, line dance, Zumba, steps and PT) fell off completely the past 3 weeks due to cold and C-19 negative fatigue. Since no activity to track, no idea about sugar, CI<CO or AF?.
Debbie in Napa Valley CA – 149.4- up just a little bit over last week.
Lanette in SW WA State – weight staying in range, set point staying under 160 for the past few weeks. Still walking after each meal if possible for 10 minutes, in the house, carrying 3 or 5 lb. weights. On my way to building sustainable diet and exercise habits.1 -
Another project done, before and after p

Carol - My friend doesn't lead the tantric workshops. She goes to them with her partner. And other types of s e x and gender and orientation workshops. It's obviously doing her the world of good. Full of energy and bounce at 69!
Her workshops are in self-development and self confidence for women. Sort of 'change your life' type thing. She is now training teachers of her work. She texted me to say that the kind of conversation we had yesterday "really feeds me". :laugh: I loved it too.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

I no longer post or share public pictures too much AI and possible hackers...I will only share my pictures...
Plus there are often copywrite laws around sharing pictures that aren't yours. Some are free to share, but some aren't.

I am still mentally and physically exhausted from the Friday night/all day Saturday workshop I just led. I love doing those things. It is my passion and my calling. But then I do need a few days to recover.
I love my high school reunions. I am still very close to many of my classmates. I have never attended a college reunion. There would be 4 different sets and I wasn’t close to the groups as a whole. I do keep in touch with one roommate. We have lunch about twice a year and keep up via Facebook. I kept up with one or two from my doctoral cohort for a while, but we’ve drifted apart.
I just got your donation, thx so much!!
