Kathy sending hugs your way for you and her. I so do not think I could have stood in front of a mad machine while it zinged out tennis balls at me! Crossing my fingers for you.

Chris I love your do over!

Well since I finally took my lab results to a doctor it is no surprise that there was a problem. My thyroid THS, I think was a bit high. Almost 20. And my cholesterol was a bit high. hmmmmmmm

Bed time,

Shelley

Walked my boys again tonight. They were so good. I put my plants out today since it was so nice.

Tired, night all.

Shelley

Had physical therapy today - first time in two weeks - she worked me hard - still sore. Ouchie! :sad:

Luv's ya'all!
:flowerforyou: Paula

Shelley, I was withdrawing from pain meds for 2+ weeks. It was bad. Killed me inside. Still not 100%, but in comparison, so much better.

And yes, Chris, the pain does mean it's working. :bigsmile: But my arms and thighs hurt as much as the knee - assisted squats, ugh. Who knew I was so out of shape! :noway: But squats, wow!

Kathy, So excited for you. Imagine us in the bleachers, cheering you on! You can tell it's us because we're wearing blue jeans and tee shirts that say "Go, Kathy! Rah! Rah! Rah!!"

Paula

Thank you ladies for your support. It would be great to have you hear cheering us on. We are wearing pink tops and either black or white bottoms. I will take pictures and post...may need help,

Everyone is excited and ready to play. I believe we are playing one of the top seeded teams but what the hell we have nothing to lose so we will go out and have fun and play our best. Headed to practice at 5:00.

Paula - glad to hear you're better. And yes I can imagine you guys in the stands.

Take care,

Kathy

Yes Kathy, holding our breath. But I agree, you will have fun and this is awesome! Please do take a moment, close your eyes and imagine us all there. We will have pom poms, popcorn and be cheering! yes, that is it.

Chris that sounds horrid! I must try it when I get my mojo back. Not sure how long it will take. And re-sored, love the new word. I am also reading books. Well they are reading to me while I finish painting my squirrals. Mostly done.

Ok for those of you who love wood work here it is. This is the onlay, yes onlay. It lays on the cabinet, not in it. :P Rocky makes sure I get it correct. It is laying on my table outside. There is a close up of it sitting on the actual hood. The wood are almost a perfect match.

Ate to much at a retirement party today. So not logging it. :P Would not even know where to start.

--Shelley, Happy Friday all

Paula that sounds grand. It is a wonderful feeling to get to the "ooh that feels good" point. Congratulations. And you know all my friends in this group can come and stay anytime. Lots to visit and see.

Went plant shopping after work. I bought a strawberry plant that has large pink blooms. And I went to Petco. They are having their dollar a gallon sale again! And said they would take the 40 gallon back beings we were sizing up. So now the sump is going to be a tall narrow 55 gallon. I like the dimensions better before. But the wider 40 would not work!

One step closer. Many more to go. I have to go qualify with my duty weapon tomorrow. Wish me luck. Rocky and I potted up 4 baskets tonight. We will be planting fools tomorrow.

Have a great weekend everyone. Get those steps in my walking buddies!

-Shelley

Have been sick and dealing with finding a place for my MIL. Glad to see everyone doing well. I have been logging food, just not exercising a lot
Kathy, excited about your tennis game! (Weakly waving Pom pom while coughing) Go Kathy!

Chris it was kewl of them. I have no idea if it is normal. I have never had that problem before. My sump tank is larger than most people use for their main tank now. Ridiculous! I shot a 96 today. So I qualified on the first go. Potted up lots more pots. Even put pansys in some beds. More still to do. Rocky dug out a cherry tree that died. That was an hour of digging, chopping, chain saw for him. 15 minutes of filling the hole in and cleanup for me. It is tough being me. Then we put a concrete table and 3 benches in the trees spot. Concrete slab to follow. Then I decided to dig out this green tarp that was buried in the yard. You might ask why it was buried? Well I had 1/4 truck of compost left over a number of years ago. I dug the ground down, laid the tarp in the hole and filled it in with the compost. It was not supposed to have stayed there. But then spring came and I planted a Canadian red rhubarb in it. Temporarily mind you. Well the rhubarb loved it! So we finally moved the rhubarb last year. And I finally decided to remove the tarp. Boy was that a chore. But the compost is now awesome rich soil. With grass coming next.

Chris Thanks for the mojo. I better send some your way. Sounds like we both have 15 pounds to lose. I have been wanting to start using my DVD' s again also. Funny thing though. My daughter sent over 3 seasons of Game of Thrones! Muahaha. I also walked the boys. Have fun at your barbecue.

Clara so glad you found time to join our pom pom group. I know it is hard to cheer on others when you are ill. Get better. Good luck with the MIL. Hugs.

Just finished cleaning some algae out of the tank. Getting hard to grab it since it is not growing as fast. It needs to just stop growing and start dying! Maybe I can shoot it!

Kathy waiting to hear from you. Either way, hugs!

Shelley

Great going Chris! I had raspberries today for dessert. I am thinking of doing some of KCM DVD' s. So many to choose from. I decided against shooting the algae, to messy! LMAO! That throne series has serious issues. Everyone keeps dying! Off with their heads! I have loads of housework to do tomorrow. But I will try.

Night now, where did I leave my pillow................

Shelley

Kathy glad you gave them a run for their money
