    :)Sue in WA, my husband's chemo doesn't affect his hair, but it affects his energy level and his appetite and causes him so nausea. Because of his low energy level, I've done some of the chores he normally does and spend a lot of time watching tv with him or napping with him. I bought my bulbs last spring and they came in the mail at the end of September. There are 24 crocus, 20 hyacinth, and 70 daffodil. Because I'm still recovering from my back injury I've planted only a few at time, limiting planting time to 20-30 minutes a day. At the rate I'm going I'll be finished in a week unless we have a ton of rain.

    :)Michele, Jake worries about me going out in the dark by myself. I don't shop much so that's not a problem I am out in the dark for hours in the early morning, walking the dogs.

    :)Beth, congrats on the new SUV. Enjoy every minute of it. We bought a lightly used 2017 SUV in May and every time I get in it, I feel happy.

    <3 Barbie

    Machka- I am in a beach town too, but it is not on the ocean. Lake Michigan Unsalted. I make the beach in the kitchen just to give us a kick in the middle of the winter. It just feels so good.

    Yes ... similar to how I put up a series of tropical scenes as my desktop wallpaper at work in the winter. :)

    Michelle in NC I used to live in NC, and I miss it a lot. We were in Raleigh for almost 30 years before we decided to move to Texas. My 26 year old son is still there, but my 22 year old daughter came with us. I was surprised to read you had a cat named Shadow. Years ago I had a beautiful black cat named Shadow. I also had a cat named Loki about ten years ago as well. I have a thing for black pets. We had another cat named Osiris, and now we've got a black Chow named Vader. My dog behaves more like a cat than a dog. I often find myself at Walmart in the wee hours. I've never been afraid or had any issues. I do get frustrated when they lock one set of doors, typically after I've done all my shopping, and my car is parked near the locked doors.

    Beth Not sure what I envy more, leaf-peeping or a new car. Since my car is only a few years old, and I love it, I guess it's the fall leaves. I grew up in Ohio, and really miss the fall colors living so far south. Texas is showing a bit of color, but it's nothing like you get up north.

    Sue Good luck with all your husband's tests and treatments.

    Lanette I get a little bit of fasting in every day. I don't eat breakfast--since my calorie allowance is so low. I have lunch at around 11, and eat dinner around 5. That gives me 18 hours of fasting until lunch the next day. Even if I finish my calories late, it's almost always before 8. The great thing about it is that I rarely feel hungry while I'm fasting. When I do, I enjoy the feeling. For years I ate so much, I never felt a hunger pang, or heard my belly growl. It's a nice reminder of the reason we should eat.

    Barbie I love hearing about your kitchen remodel. I lived in a 1955 ranch house for almost 30 years, and I wanted to remodel it almost daily. My husband wouldn't go for any changes beyond paint and carpet. Now that we've moved, I've got a NEW house I love. I got to choose colors and styles, and I feel so spoiled. It doesn't stop me from mentally redecorating, but I've had thirty years of practice.

    If you remember things you want to change within an hour of posting, you can move your mouse to the top, right corner of your post. A little "gear" will appear which you can click and then edit your post.

    However, you do only have an hour to do that.

    Welcome new ladies!

    Sue ... hoping the liver biopsy provides information that is helpful ...

    Drkatiebug ... I started decluttering in the basement!! Only had time for about 30 minutes ... but it's a start!

    Husband took off work today ... it really has been a stressful week ... and we decided to take a drive looking at the leaves even though it was raining. Ended up at a car dealership ... "just looking." I currently drive a 2003 that has seen better days, but tomorrow I will be driving a new SUV! I had no plans of buying a car today and rarely (ok, never) act spontaneously on large purchases ... but when my husband said do you like it I said "yes" and when he said do you want it, I laughed and said "sure" not realizing he would turn to the salesman and say "we'll buy it." LOL! So I guess, Machka, that's what WE do for fun!

    Beth near Buffalo

    How exciting is that??? We will need pictures!

    Beth, that new SUV will be perfect for hauling basement clutter to the thrift store for donating. Just sayin’.........

    Saturday -- Today was a wild and woolly day. Very windy and rainy and not particularly warm.

    So we went to the gym for the first time since before my husband's accident!

    My husband walked for half an hour which was pretty good.

    I ran for an hour. I've been running outside so I wanted to see how I would go inside. I can get into quite a comfortable zone on a treadmill. I covered 7.66 km in that time, so I'm not overly fast.


    When we got home, I hopped on my trainer and did a bit with Zwift's new NYC route.

    Distance: 13.45km
    Elevation: 215m
    Moving Time: 41:14
    Elapsed Time: 41:14

    ........................ Avg ............. Max
    Speed ............. 19.6km/h ........ 77.0km/h
    Heart Rate ...... 138bpm .......... 154bpm
    Cadence .......... 83 .................. 99
    Power ............. 95W ............... 125W
