    for the first time, I got on the bike on a Sunday. I saw that he did a small ride so I had to get my 1st place back. I looked him up and I think I’m out of his league. He looks like he’s around my age and looks like he’s a serious biker. I also saw that he has been raising 2 to 4000 dollars for MS which is awesome. I’m 7.42 miles ahead after tonight’s ride.

    I found that he lives in Washington (which I thought). The only thing I may have going for me is that I’m retired (I don’t know if he is) and I have a home spin bike. I don’t know if he has to put on his bike gear to get out on the road (weather permitting) or has to go to a gym to get on a spin bike.

    Michelle, this is our TP holder in our small hall bathroom. It is not recessed into the vanity, but it is screwed into the side of it. If something happens to it, we can just patch the holes and paint the cabinet or screw a new one into the same holes. Since this particular holder does not have that annoying little spring thing, it is much less likely to tear up. As a matter of fact, I can't imagine it ever needing replacing, unless we decide it is out of style or something. Would something like this work?

    Allie, I'm so happy you are doing well after your surgery. I needed to read some good new today.

    Heather, I think you would be weird if you didn't feel sad about your ex's condition. He is, after all, the father of your children.

    I am very sad today. My former next-door neighbor, who used to be a really close friend, is dying. I went to see her in the hospital today, but it she was already in a morphine-induced sleep. It is Stage 4 terminal cancer, but she was only diagnosed on Thursday. She appeared fine on Wednesday and started having trouble breathing on Thursday. Now they don't expect her to make it through the night. I came home from this to news that a 37-year old former student, a favorite of mine, had passed away, presumably from a heart attack. When he didn't show up to church this morning, they went checking on him and found him. I'm just mad about that one. He was the sweetest, friendliest, hardest-working person I've ever known. He helped his father run their family-owned hardware store. Another friend's son saw him Friday and said he wasn't his usual self, kind of grouchy and out of sorts. I'll bet he was feeling sick then and just didn't tell anyone.

    I may or may not have had key lime cheesecake and a Diet Dr Pepper. It seemed called for. And the kind of day where posting a picture of my toilet seems somehow appropriate.

    My hair wasn't long but I could put it in a ponytail. It feels so much better, and its nice to be able to wash it with a washcloth to reactive the mousse' I have on it! I have it short on the sides and longer up top.

    Barbara- the dessert with the candle is called lalmohan. Little fried doughnut type balls in a simple syrup.

    First time trying all of it. I could really go for another bowl of their lentil soup.

    Allie - I sure hope your kids step up to help you. You do so much for them.

    Rosemarie - I was thinking about making lasagna this week too. Great minds.

    Lisa - I think you and Corey do wonderful work.

    Carol - Divorcing after 37 years must have been an agonizing decision. Rodger and I will be married 38 this June. I can’t imagine it. Literally, as I’ve tried to picture it a few times.

    Heather - Glad you heard from your ex and you feel some relief.

    Rita - thank you for the pictures of the gum balls and monkey puzzle tree.

    Lisa - your room is so nice and bright.

    Tina- Plantar Fasciitis has been bugging me for almost two years now. It started in my right foot and is now in my left. I think my left has been more painful than my right and seems harder to get under control.A spike up through the heel sounds accurate. Like Michele, I thought it was a callous at first.

    Carla - I like being where the action is too when I’m crafting. I quit for a long time because of it. Just took it up again last year really.

    Re - i bet you’ll get rid of your set quickly.
    I have a story about a horse chestnut tree. My Dad’s eldest niece was very close in age to my dad and they were more like siblings than Uncle and Niece as my Aunt helped raise my Dad. Anyway they remained the best of friends and Dad went to her house every morning for coffee. She had been looking all over for a horse chestnut and Dad found one when he was visiting my other Aunt in Nova Scotia so he surprised my cousin with it. They planted it together and researched how to get it to grow and worked together to keep this tree going for about a dozen years. My Dad passed in Dec 2012 and the following spring that tree bloomed for the first time. My cousin swore up and down that Dad did that for her. Then tree never made it through the next winter, she was so upset.

    Allie - I was thinking of Annie and Penny recently as well.

    Pip - you’re doing so well.

    Kay - Sorry about your neighbour and your former student.

    I went to Kaitlyn’s today. I had car problems about 20 minutes away from home so turned around and came back to get DH’s truck. So I was almost an hour later than o planned on. We went for a splurge at Dollar Tree and then I went grocery shopping with her.
    She started planning meals the last few months and has such a good system going I may adopt it.
    She told me that they met with the genetics specialist this past week and they don’t need to do gene testing on Rodger or I. The next step in their fertility treatment is another egg retrieval. I asked her when they were doing it and they have decided not to tell anyone until they are sure they have a healthy prognosis. She said it upsets her every time she has to update people and she’s not doing it this time. I agree with her for her mental health and what’s best for her that way, but as her mother I am sad I won’t be there to support her when I know it’s tough days.

    It was a mix of rain and snow today, it wasn’t a fun drive home, but I made it. Thankfully it was only the last 20 minutes of the trip that was awful.

    I’m watching American Idol now, then heading to bed very soon.

    Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!

    Allie – glad to hear that your surgery was a success. Now take care of yourself!

    Rita – your pictures loaded just fine the first time.

    Rosemarie – it’s sort of funny. You’re trying to revive your lawn, I’m trying to kill mine off. I like that photo of my bicycle and the beach too. 😊 That beach is about 8 km from where we live. I’ve been thinking about making a nice big lasagne and cutting it up into portions for several meals … but I’ve never made a lasagne before!!

    Vicki – older employees are very valuable. Make sure to emphasise your value as an older employee! And remove anything from your resume that clearly shows your age.

    Lisa – your half bath looks great!

    Re – well done on the weight loss and clearing out the master bedroom. What are you planning to do with the room?

    Way back when people used smelling salts made from ammonia, and yes, apparently a sniff of isopropyl alcohol can be used to reduce nausea. I’ll have to remember that.

    I’ve got hip-length hair and I do cut it to a little shorter than waist-length about once a year. If I didn’t, it would be knee-length in no time! And no, I have no plans to cut it shorter than that. When my hair was short, it was such a pain to deal with. My long hair is much easier.

    Heather – we’ve got 3 trollies something like the black one you posted. One has our bee stuff on it. I’m hoping my husband will put his tools on another one. I want to put some of my art stuff on the third. I’m glad to see Edie is up for doing practical stuff around the house.

    I’ve been reading some new books (mostly mysteries) recommended by Goodreads and Libby to try them out and see if I like them. I figure it might help keep me up to date.

    Pam in WA – welcome here! Keep up the determination!

    Debbie – sorry about Okie. I’m glad you got to do a few things you wanted to do for your birthday!

    Tracey – Love the pictures of the Northern Lights!

    Lanette – I work with health costing. The prices of things don’t surprise me.

    Peggy – welcome here! This is a good place to find support from and give support to others who are going through the same thing!

    Barbara – being “friends” on MFP isn’t a thing anymore. The only way to connect is via the Community. 😊

    Hugs to those who are grieving.

    Normally, we would have spent a week or so around my birthday going up north to a beach or a very quiet farm stay.

    Unfortunately, this time, work is way too busy, I couldn’t take any extra time off. Fortunately, here in Australia, my birthday falls on or around the Labour Day weekend, so I do get one extra day off.

    Friday evening, we went out to dinner to a place we’ve never been before. It was all right, but I found the Napoli sauce to be a bit too similar to BBQ sauce. It was also darker than what I expected Napoli sauce to be.

    I purchased a small layer cake and 2 lava cakes which we had on Saturday and Sunday nights. They were really good.

    Saturday, I cycled my age in kilometres (+1). I need to do more rides of that length. My legs weren’t overly happy once I hit about 50 km. But very pleased I did that.

    Sunday, we went to our bee group and I brought a mud cake to share with everyone. In the afternoon, I wielded my mattock and dug out more of the grass that never dies. I have two plants I want to put in that area. It was beautifully hot.

    Monday, I had a lovely walk and then a different system moved in and it’s quite chilly and windy out there now. So I’m working on indoor stuff.

    So my weight remained the same this week. Cake will do that!
