WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR APRIL 2025

SophieRosieMom

Rita - no kidding - what would they have done if you hadn't been there to handle the injured climber, call 911, etc.? The park sure relies on you and your DH a lot to keep things going smoothly there. Sorry about your son relapsing but great he is back in the rehab place. Good job keeping track of the birds. So far the troublemaker birds (they know who they are) haven't returned to break out the screens in the house and shop soffits to build their nests and spread their crap all over the siding. The summer isn't over yet. 😕 But hoping for the best.

Mo - gorgeous wedding, great photos of everyone! How neat Rose got to visit your mom and everyone in the facility. And that you got to sing "Copacabana." I remember that song very well, great beat to dance to. I'm going to search for it on YouTube right now. Good luck to Julia with the teeth adventure. 😥 Hope your headaches ease up for a while.

Debbie - sounds like your garden will be going gangbusters! Potting soil $2 a bag? Not so up here. Happy for you since you have so much to plant.

Pip - enjoy your trip!

Lisa - sounds like some storm! Hope it leaves your area quickly without any damage.

Labs came back yesterday, most of the values were great except A1C has crept back up to 5.8. .Despite everything I've been doing with exercise, cutting back carbs, etc. The fasting insulin was fine. Creatinine below low normal for some reason, but it's been that way for a while. I picked up hard copies of the report today (too hard to read on the Patient Fusion page) at Dr. Lisa's office and I have an appointment with her next Thursday morning to go over everything.

I was supposed to meet D at the local diner for breakfast this morning at 9 but she never showed up. I waited 15 minutes then texted her then took off to hit town. I finally heard back from her an hour later - she had looked at the wrong date on the calendar and didn't realize it was today. Glad there was no emergency at her house. She has a lot on her plate these days. We've rescheduled for this Friday.

I've committed to going to an art exhibit with a gal I used to work with tomorrow afternoon. She's driving and has beautiful pencil drawings at the exhibit I'm anxious to see. Since it's going to be great weed-spray, mow and weed-eat weather, I told her it would have to be a quick trip. T is going also but driving her own car. If the artist needs to stay longer, I'll ride back with T. I told T in the future remind me to not commit to anything past 12 pm during this spring weather since the prime mowing time is around 2 pm. 😁.

Weekly shopping done, plus lots of little chores. I have Shakespeare Study group after lunch on Thursday, and Latin and Parchment Craft on Friday. 

The weather has been unusually warm for April, so got out into the garden for a while today. Monday is a public holiday, so looking forward to a restful weekend.

🤗🤗🤗 and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for those who need them.

HomeDepot and Lowes have both had it that price. They do every spring. The Lowes here sale ends today but if you order online- you have a week to pick it up.
They are the smaller size bags but I am ok with that. Easier for me to carry.

Hello, lovely ladies,

Thank you so much for the compliment. It's funny, but looking at the pictures made me want to work harder to lose the remaining 55 pounds. I usually avoid photographs and go in the back so no one will see me. I was moved to the end of the group picture. I need to get out in the am and walk again. In Mississippi, it gets so hot. I am ready to move to Chicago. Before Julia and I started talking again, I hated leaving her alone here, but now I hate leaving her and Calvin alone here. Their neighborhood is very scary and run down. We will see. I hate leaving my mom, too, even though she is happy. I brought Julia by to show her where she was and how to get there if needed.

Margaret, the wedding took place at an old bottling company in Hattiesburg, MS. I know what you mean by the architecture, for I had my wedding in Chicago.

Barbie get all the documents needed for travel. Never limit yourself. You have one life, so live it to the fullest! I need to get mine, too.

Pip, keep up the great work.

Machka, I love to swim and ice skate. Skiing on water scares me. I am willing to try it if I can figure out the logistics of what to do when I fall. I genuinely believe you will love swimming.

Rebecca, I cannot wait until you see your baby.

Lisa Egg is an actual character.

Heather, what is G going to do without her passport? Can the consulate get a new one for her fast enough?

I am going back to work tomorrow, as I was off on Sunday, thank goodness. I may negotiate another schedule change. We will see. Have an excellent night's sleep. Kay, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

XO,

Mo in Mississippi

Thanks for your insight into all of this.💖👍🏼 He hasn't gotten his first Skyrizi infusion just yet, probably ordering it. He is eating because though he hates having to deal with it, he knows it helps him. We talked about how living on his own would look like, and he would probably be learning how to make my chicken with his chicken fried rice. For some reason, chicken, eggs, bacon and rice all process well together, when he was in remission while on infliximab. Then it just stopped working. Heres my brave guy.💖👍🏼

a second later he did a crazy smile which was hysterical. Though freaky!

Happy May Day…

It was so gorgeous I gave it the medium setting.

We lucked out on the storm on Monday! North and South of us got hit with wind, a tornado, and large hail! Yes grateful!

Yesterday proud of myself for changing a recessed light that blew out. When I went to change it quickly realized the bulb had left the flange in the socket. Fortunately I had just recently updated the labels on the fuse box so I quickly cut the power. Then I remembered to get the stuck part out you use a potato. Fortunately I had a sweet potato the had a pointed end and fit the socket. Once I got it out enough I finished with needle noise pliers. New bulb put in, power back on, SUCCESS!

I swam competitively when through college and taught swim lesson at one point. I would stand next to the person I was trying to help learn how to float and have them arch over my hand that I would have supporting them from underneath. I would tell them to think of touching their belly button to the sky and use your hips to lift your legs. Once they felt more comfortable floating on their back I would slowly remove my hand. When learning it would sometimes scare they and then they would pull their head forward which would make them sink.It's Important to keep head back like you are arching your head to see someone behind you. When arch your head back it makes your chest expand and this is what helps you stay afloat. Dead man's float is different and it is learned so that is you need to stay afloat in the water for a prolonged length of time and want to use as little energy as possible.
