Barbara ~ Hugs! So sorry your husband is being stubborn when he might get help by going to a specialist. My husband need to have cataract surgery but refuses.

Heather - love the ones of your family too. The kids haven't definitely grown since then.
This was supposed say they HAVE grown since the picture, sorry.

Barbara - I hope Joe changes his mind and let’s you attend. I have a stubborn husband too so I know how unlikely that is though. It’s tough loving someone that set in their ways but it has its benefits too, I know he would do anything to keep me safe.
Progressive Glasses - I started wearing progressives about 6 years ago. One thing I was told by friends was to make sure when they were measuring that the samples were where my glasses would sit normally not where the ophthalmologist tried to put them. Since my glasses forever sit down my nose a bit that is where I made them measure. I have never had an issue with them from day 1. I have noticed though that I need to go get my eyes tested again as I am having to use the “reading” part in the computer lately.
Feeling a bit better now and hopefully it continues so I can go to work tomorrow. If I could just get rid of the headache I would be set.

Went to mail some important letters concerning trust. The outside mail box had been broken into overnight. In future I will take important mail to mail at the post office or if I know the mail will be picked up in a short time I might mail from a free standing box, but I will never put mail in a box if it will sit overnight.0

Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coasti,, yes very true! I need my Lutheran elders to settle my soul. I will be visiting my eldest sister in Montana next month!💖. I can't wait. The last time we visited was in 2017 and Owain out youngest was with us. It was right after he graduated from high school, and my sister lived in Boardman Oregon, by Pendleton.💖. This was our last visit!
She's now in Montana, shooting rabbits on her property like a real Annie Oakly!

afternoon ladies~
what a day.. you all would be so very proud of me.. before I left I packed myself a lunch, celery sticks and a snack pack of boars head salami and cheese a keto bar and some bottled water..
got up there around 8:30 and not much is open until 10.. so i walked and walked and walked , went through the State building.. now each of the State building has specials, i had a tiny bite of cheese from Cabot , but all the other states I had nothing walked by all the yummy stuff. then around 11:30 went back out to my car had something to eat and brought my other bottle of water in with me..and went through the Better living center where people hawk there wears... I was looking for a beloved pet frame for Chester.. and could find the right one until I came to this one place, I asked the lady if she had anything like that and she handed me 3 different kinds and I was about to pick one when I looked up and there was a 5 x7 frame with CHESTER and pawprints already carved.. I told the lady and she said she got the chills and that is what I bought, she gave me a big hug and gave me a discount... after a couple of hours walking, I left around 1:30.. over 13,000 steps .. and nobody to worry about but myself..9 -
Well yesterday I watched a show about minimalistic approach to living. I sold my rug that was under our dining room table, for $20. And I have other doodads up for sale too. If it serves no purpose, then out it goes. The rug was just making it harder to keep the floor clean.

My goals for September are lose another pound or two, exercise a minimum of three times weekly and to work on getting my financial affairs in better.1

I buy snacks for my husband that he likes but I don't and I make an effort to keep him stocked. I told him that salty potato chips call to me from the pantry begging me to crunch them but I can easily stay away from the vinegar ones he likes. Pretzels don't call my name. We both eat dried fruit and nuts. I measure out my allowed 1-2 ounces and he can go wild. My husband understands or at least he wants me to be healthy so he goes along. My September goal is to lose 5 pounds to get to the number that my doctor says will make her happy and me healthy. I hold my weight around my middle, bad for heart, I've lost 45 pounds over about 3 years. Long and slow and steady with many plateaus, but changing eating habits pays off time. Denise in California4

Allie - am VERY proud of you, well done, both for enjoying your solo day (I love them, too!) and for keeping your eating under the control you wish to have. Pleased for you...
Weird day - unsettled and oddly stressful, but without reason... Tomorrow will be better.
Later, y'all,
Lisa in AR2 -
I'm new to the myfitnesspal, but an unsuccessful professional dieter I have limited mobility issues - hoping temporary, but will know more after the MRI next week. The first one showed a mass on my spine that is compressing my spinal cord and is causing major issues with my legs and ability to walk. I have been super overweight since childhood and need to lose about 120#. My pain has caused the emotional eating to come to the forefront.

The dance class was hilarious! We tried a new to us dance that we sort of staggered round, but couldn't master. But we all laughed a lot and got a good work out! DH will be back for the class next week.
Tomorrow I'm meeting my Portsmouth friend for lunch. Don't know where we are going yet, but some walking should be involved.
Hope I sleep tonight, but if not I'm enjoying my book on genetics and heritability. I just go upstairs and read. I finished Middlemarch last week. Third time of reading. Amazing how much I'd forgotten, or misremembered.
DH has just told me he will pay for an extra freezer for the garage! I've just ordered it. It should arrive early next week, just in time to put a lot of stewed fruit in to it before we go away. Our next door neighbours have responded to my plea that they give us some of their apples and pears that are going to waste. Their trees are laden and they haven't the time or energy to use it. Tonight they left a big bag on the door step. DH will prepare it all.

On my way to the dance class this evening I passed a mermaid on the beach. There is also a swimmer in the water and a paddle boarder. About ten minutes to seven.
The weather has been wonderful.
Love Heather UK XXXXXX7 -
Heather That's a beautiful photo of your son and family. Also wonderful mermaid on the beach.
Pip What a beautiful Tiger Lily!
Felicia Great news!
Shannon I spent a lot of money on progressive lenses I couldn't adjust to. Grrrrr!!! Concerning the Magnesium, I take Mag Citrate - it's absorbed really well, & I do not get diarrhea from it.
Barbara Joe's a stubborn guy...can't imagine accepting loss of vision unless there was no other choice. I guess he doesn't want your input at his doctor's appointment. That's probably a mistake.
Vicki Does your department exercise together?
Rebecca Love the minimalist idea. My friend calls it "pup tent" living. Whatever you would take along if you had to live in a pup tent...
Allie Well done!
Lisa (((Hug)))

Grandson copped a minor attitude today, so I just left him a list of what he needed to finish and left him to do it "on his honor". I noticed he was working on it as I left to go home.

Barbara-my youngest daughter and grandson left an abusive home and moved in with us.Our son also lives with us,he has visual issues and he’s a fantastic young man.It seems I’ve missed quite a bit!! But I’m trying to get caught up.Prayers,hugs,love❤️,and much gratitude for y’all!
Debby In Va6 -
Allie – sorry your pup is nearing the end. Amazing story about the frame!
Tracey -great pictures and what a great gift! Happy belated birthday.
Heather – lovely family.
Felicia – good news about your husband. Isn’t it funny how we can always jump to the worst even if we have no reason to?
BananasandOranges -the payment system for adjuncts there sounds a bit strange. I found it to function differently when I was doing adjunct teaching here in the US. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Good news on the knee. I have had cortisone shots over the years. They can be helpful and one upon occasion should not be bad. You just can’t have them frequently.
Shannon in Ontario – I have regular no-line bifocals. For computer work, I got a separate pair for the nearsighted stuff. It means I have to switch out glasses but it reduces eye strain a great deal-worth the hassle for me (and the money).
Barbara, Southern Oregon-sending positive vibes for you and Joe. My husband would have those reactions at times.
Tracyleed1-hope the MRI gives you needed answers. Lots of people on this site loose weight with no or very limited exercise. Good luck.
I would say I am caught up, but by the time I post this there will probably be more comments! Work was ok today. Going to go for a walk to the store to pick up a couple of things, then come back and tidy up the kitchen and take out the trash. Earlier bed time for me tonight (stayed up watching football game). Only work half-day tomorrow then go to OSU to meet with endocrinologist. Part of my regular 6 month check up. Not expecting anything different. Don't know if he will do neck ultrasound this visit or not since I had one in March. I just go with the flow with it.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio1 -
barbara. Stubborn husbands . Take care of you and let him know you are available if need be, because 2 heads are better than one sometimes (((hugs)))
