    I just wrote a long posts in my Word document and then hit the delete button by mistake.

    Anyway

    1. Flea's weekend away sounds lovely.
    2. Heather enjoyed seeing her granddaughters perform. Bea will be a star some day.
    3. Beth's son's continued work on getting healthy and encouraging you and DH to follow. What did you decided to do about the sagging mattress?

    After last week's heat wave (high 90's) the weather has changed and it is actually chilly!

    Oikos protein yogurt 140 calories, 20 grams protein, 3 grams sugar, and 3 grams fat. The nice thing is its really creamy, and doesn't have the watery top like some Greek yogurts.

    Hello and Happy August;

    Barbie, thank you for bringing us into August.

    My goal this month is to exercise 3-4 days a week, track my intake, and stick to my budget. Today didn't go well. I have been in bed all day except for taking Rose out and getting her exercise. Rose has gotten kind of fluffy, so I am cutting back on her snacks and her food intake. My horrible headaches are back.

    Lisa, I hope your vertigo goes away soon. I would hate it.

    Lanette, your grand's hair got darker when they grew up. They are still babies, but they have an air of independence. They are so good-looking, and I bet they are smart too. Your grandson is muscular.

    Pip, Ethel seems like an athlete. Ethel is a perfect fit for your family. How is Kirby doing?

    Rebecca, your son is so cute and sweet. I am glad that he is in great spirits.

    Debbie, I am worried about your sister, and I am glad that she is away from that non-caring doctor. Tell her to see what the advantages and disadvantages of the surgery.

    Barbie, listening to or reading about all of the red tape you have to cut, made me realize how little prepared DH and I are. DH made sure his name is on my checking acct., but I am not on his. I purchased the house I live in, and his name is on the deed. I noticed that the mail is asking him if he is ready to sell this house, not me. The place in Chicago is in his name. When my dad died, it was a crap show. After I buried him, I went through the paperwork and realized that he had already purchased a burial site. So, my dad is buried in Palos Verdes, California, instead of Engwood, CA. We lost money because we didn't go through probate court. After all, my mom refused to. All in all, pat yourself on the back, Barbie, for doing so well, getting your paperwork done.

    I am going to take Rose out for the last time. Have a great night.

    XO,

    Yet another example of why you should not eat ultra processed food.

    https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/aug/04/home-cooking-and-minimally-processed-foods-best-for-weight-loss-upf-study-finds

    Yesterday, my cleaner asked me if I had always 'cooked from scratch', or only since I retired. I said 'always', but there were times, when I was on my own, that I did use pre-prepared food. John has been good for me, as he likes a real evening meal, with lots of veg. We eat at 6 pm.

    Feeling a lot better today. Did my exercises first thing - 25 mins. The sun is shining, but there was an autumnal chill when I opened the window. I do push ups on the windowsill, back stretches, and raising my whole body up on my hands. I love greeting the day like that, and seeing who is out for a jog, or walking their dog. The man opposite has a husky!

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Air quality is 76 today which is classified poor. Last week we were 171 which is unhealthy for all. A neighbor was surprised I was still wearing a mask outside. I am outside for yard work and walking DrewB. Until it gets under 50 mask for me. I saw few masks when it was in the unhealthy category. I even saw people out running. The man who did my staining says he doesn't bother because there is already so many other types of pollution.

    I have the opposite attitude I will take the precautions that I can be it is cumulative. It is like putting sand on a scale and you don't know what will tip it over. So I wear my mask outdoors, try to not add pollution in my own home through cleaning products and products I put on my skin and hair (very little), eat organic as much as possible and staying away from over processed food if something on the label I don't recognize or is high in salt or added sugar I don't eat it, I store what I can in glass not plastic, put my microwave in the basement, drink filtered water. The last time I got sick was last summer and it was only for a few days.

    I got a full night sleep last night. I went to bed half hour earlier, used my breathe strip, mouth tape, air purifier, took a homeopathy med for leg cramps, used my Epson salts as a bath scrub, and did stretching before bed, also hydrated well during the day.

    I am going to make getting good sleep my top priority.

    Lanette I had DrewB titered because she has an autoimmune condition…She was also over vaccinated that I believe lead to her condition. You are right the vets prefer giving the shots. You do take on some risk not giving the shot. I never have DrewB outside without me. I did my research on rabies in my area. Low…animals that are carriers…bats, raccoons, skunks. Watch for strange behaviors in these animals. Take steps to keep bats out of your home. For me the risk of making her condition worse out ways the risk of giving her the vaccine. Bedsides the titer showed she has immunity to rabies. It is cheaper to have the shot than a titer. For me it is cheaper in the long run because the treatment for her condition if I followed protocol is very expensive cortisol shots, blood transfusions, death. (not acceptable) I think I told you of the story of a dog who had her condition who died at age 6 following the current treatment. DrewB just turned 9 and is back to her perky self. Like me I dramatically changed her diet, stopped flea and tick, heartworm meds, (They are pesticides) lots of love, low stress lifestyle for her, walks in areas with low yard treatment.
