Went to choir practice and it was so good to sit there and sing with my fellow choir members. Our Easter music is quite challenging. I went with about 3/4 of a voice and came home with 1/2 of a voice but it was worth it. Our ladies trio also has a trio scheduled for the 21st and hadn''t practiced anything yet so we started tonight. We are all 60 and over and tend to stick with some of the older music and there is a ladies duo that sings the contemporary stuff. I have suggested a true 4 part quartet but no one wants to do it.

..I did my weight training again today...I'm doing a variation on strong lifts 5x5...
sumo squats--five set of five reps with 40 pounds
overhead press--five sets of five reps with 30 pounds
dumbbell bench press--five sets of five reps with 30 pounds
calf raise---five sets of five reps with 20 pounds
Also walked 17,000 steps from dog walking and line dance class
Very impressive! I'm glad you are able to get back into lifting.

- Relief (at least for a while). Mmmmm! Got into a laughing jag and I that DH was upset and might have to admit me. I told him what I was laughing about and he said, 'that's not nice'. He has no sense of humor tonight.0

Uggggg I got mugged by a Ben and Jerrys pint! Grrrr okay it was a conscious decision. Had my interview w my boss and his assistant too. They acknowledged that I had great enthusiasm for my job and that they thought I had potential.. But I lacked mastery of the cash register particularly a slower memorization of codes. I still look up more than I should..and a tendency to misjudge that there are no immediate customers and grabbing a task to do like collect recycling or baskets or stocking elastic so and tape and then having someone wait in my line. It happens to everyone but more to me. I think bc I am in high gear trying to get all the work done. Idk...feels a lot like the cleaning deficit disorder. Anyway they want me to go full time for a dollar more an hour. But I would lose my disability. Ultimately get less money. So I'm staying put for now. They still love me though bc I give the best customer service.
Allie..you have a Fitbit? Awesome! Friend me and Chris on it and we can do challenges! Don't worry you each challenge your own self to a certain number of steps not against eachother.
Kim? Excellent ideas about getting off my patooty to find ways to make money. I already have a way. I have my parents collections of memoribelia to eBay and I will undertake that enforce when I get back from my trip.
To all doggie mums and kitty mums too....I have Embrace pet insurance for my babies and I highly recommend it. Check it out.
Still looking for an endodontist to do my root canal before my trip. Did get my car to garage to get mirror fixed and an inspection. Lulus ears are doing better.
DJ I'm going to get a pedicure too! Thanks for the idea!
Have a good night everyone
Thanks for all the encouragement
I love you ladies your like a family of chosen sisters to me

Worry is like a rocking chair,
It will give you something to do,
But you won't get anywhere.

Good morning all...
Home from work today, still using up vacation days. Fairy gardens have been quite popular here for a couple years now. Our local greenhouses have really gotten into it. The kids get quite involved and excited, so now we see different adults shopping there because you know how kids are...if their friend has one they want one too.....
I have so many little tasks to do today and this weekend - I think I will write them on pieces of paper and put in a jar - pull one out = set the timer for an hour and go at it... I will let you know how that works
Later - have a great day everyone

Good morning everybody!
Love all the fairy garden pictures! Kudos to all that are exercising and tracking!
Sorry I don't have time to respond to everybody's post. Just not enough time to do anything. Too much stuff going on in my life right now.
I'm just trying to keep on track with my food and a little exercise every day. It may just be walking on my lunch break or doing some stretches, but it's better than nothing!
Have a great day!

I started a regular practice of meditation after reading "10% Happier" by Dan Harris. I set meditation as one of my resolutions a few months ago (to meditate 5-10 minutes a day, four or more days a week) and have kept with it. I don't know if I'm 10% happier or if my life has changed dramatically because of the practice, but I am able to relax to sleep more easily and get through troublesome times more peacefully by breathing just like I do for meditation. When I went to the dentist on Monday to have a filling replaced in a wisdom tooth, I breathed and observed my breath like I do when I meditate and didn't have any of the panicky feelings of not being able to breathe or worrying about choking to death on saliva. Instead, the time passed easily and when I was finished the dental assistant said that it seemed that I was meditating through the whole procedure.0
