    @spikeyhair i didn't know that about the French air space. a friend and ex-colleague sent me a mail this morning saying her flight from nyc back to paris was delayed till 3am. that must be the same cause. rough to have such a delay before a night-time transatlantic flight.

    @Machka9 you have a lot going on. What are those organisational questions from? it reminds me of a book that I only skimmed about how to care for family members.

    Experience ... a whole lot of experience all in the past 18 months. I've been dealing with ALL of that and much more.


    You should see my "Things To Do" list!!

    Thanks Barbie!

    So glad August is over. The family is home. <3 I will feel as if I can go places again without crowds. Not so hot. :D

    My new tablet and case has arrived, but I'm not unpacking it until I'm happy with my laptop. Too much stress. Today I'm going to copy all the stuff off the old one onto a hard drive. I've never done that before. :( I'm still waking up in the morning worrying about it all.
    I hope to go for a run this pm. It's overdue. Running and heat don't mix well.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    I'll see the 2 gps next week and hopefully get a recommendation for a good rheumatologist, and I guess meniscus tear is common enough that the GPs might know something about it.

    You might see if you can get into a sports dr and physiotherapist.

    @machka9 I was thinking sports doctor too but wondered if it weren't redundant to see sports doctor and rheumatologist. also I don't know if the GP will prescribe both. I need a prescription for P.T to go and see one. havent been to a P.T for a bout 8 years ago when I had frozen shoulder. some are totally reimbursed and many are more expensive than base rate. I need one that's totally reimbursed. medical people can choose between charging the base rate or a little higher or much higher. I'll see what recommendations the guy GP has. he seems to have pretty good network of people at base rate, and seems a bit involved, unlike the woman GP.

    @cityjaneLondon here it empties out in the summer and is full of the many people etc the rest of the year (like most capital cities).

    had lunch of omelet w onion and Chinese cabbage salad, then some GF treats after lunch : equivalent of 1 reeces cup and 2 small GF cookies. I'm happy I have had this box of small delish GF cookies (about 8 or so) for about a week and only had 2 max 3 times over the week so far. that's good temperance for me of late. I'm not usually a big cookie fan but I do very much tend to appreciate baked goods w almond powder in them.

    Good Morning & Happy Labor Day Weekend!

    Super-excited because I don't work this weekend.

    Usually, I work weekends, but this is my son & daughter-in-law's anniversary, & they usually need childcare. This year they made kid-inclusive plans, so I have an unexpected weekend off! I have to submit "off" requests at least 2 months in advance when they hadn't made plans yet.

    So yesterday we power-washed & bleached the deck (sweaty dirty work), I mowed the lawn, and I trimmed Mabel's nails & bathed her. Then we watched "Twister", one of our old favorites. Today I think we are going to seal the deck. Depends on my partner, who has gone back to bed not feeling great. She will probably be fine after some more sleep.

    Now I am getting caught up with news of Hurricane Dorian (category 5 now). Dorian is likely to devastate the Bahamas. I hope Dorian veers East & doesn't make landfall near @DamitJanit in Myrtle Beach or others along the coast.

    This morning I have had a mug of Bigelow's Cinnamon Stick tea, 180g full-fat homemade Greek yogurt, and 120g raspberries. 300 calories. Yum! Tummy is happy.

    For some reason, the last few months I find that I have to be really careful about what I eat. I feel too full for too long after eating. If I eat late in the evening, my sleep is disrupted by vague abdominal discomfort. But yogurt & berries are well-received!

    I hope all of you have a nice holiday weekend!

    :) It is getting darker in the morning here now. I think of Machka noticing her days getting longer. I also think of all of you in the UK and parts of Canada who are farther north than I am and will experience even less daylight.

    Beginning of September.
    Beginning of Spring.
    Sunrise: 6:37 am.
    Sunset: 5:45 pm .

    In about 2 weeks we'll have full daylight until I get all the way home at night ... bus trip and walk! Soon my husband and I may be able to walk to the beach after work (my work) again. :)

    And some of the temps are increasing. It got to 18C on Saturday!! It's supposed to be 16-18 for the next few days, and then back down to low teens.
