Rebecca ~ I wanted to tell you that the photo with your wall plate friends is so cute. You are a very pretty woman.
Great that Athena is crawling and she'll probably start toddling any time now. My son started walking at 9 months.

Had a lovely walk with DH along the Hudson River, brisk weather and DH keeps a brisk pace! It also seemed to improve my winter blues just a bit. 3.5 miles!
I have my lovely oatmeal prepared for breakfast and red lentil soup ready for a week of work food
Neurologist appt tomorrow, hope to be on the path to heal my hand pain/finger numbness

Thanks!!
My most recent 400 km rides were in 2016.
I rode a 400K in Victoria in 25 hours ... and unfortunately picked up measles on the trip there.
3 weeks later we were scheduled to do a 600 km, but I was just too sick.
So another month later we headed up to Victoria to do a different 600K. Unfortunately I hadn't done much cycling in that time because I had been too sick, and I still had a bad cough and difficulty breathing. We managed 400 km in 24 hours, and that was that. I couldn't keep going.
In 2018, we were building up our cycling again, and had done a 300 km in early March ... but late March my husband had the accident ... and since then we've hardly done any cycling.

Just popped in to say goodnight to y'all. We had a great visit with daughter. She was showing me some new craft materials she had bought last week. Our biggest craft store has closed down and sold off all their stock at half price. Unfortunately, I didn't hear about it, so didn't get up to see what was available. Probably just as well, with me doing the depthnyear and supposed to be reining in my unnecessary spending. I have more than enough craft stuff and projects on the go to keep me busy for several decades! (If I last that long! 😂)
Watched Dancing on Ice, and Dr Who after dinner, then a couple of renovation programmes.
💕💖💕 I do hope you enjoy whatever (if any) of your Sunday remains. 💕💖💕5 -
Good evening everyone. Hope your weekend went well.
exermom-MRI for brain was checkup as I had brain cancer in 2015. Surgery was done, chemo and now the test every 6 mos. until 2021-Oct. That is the 5 yr. anniversary date of my last chemo. Still haven't found any.
Mri for elbow is that I injured it 4 mos. ago, let it go, no dr. but the pain is worse so I called the orthopedic dr and that was his suggestion since the pain is increasing.
Had a very nice weekend, quiet -like I like it. Today I went to see Dr. Dolittle at theatre and then drove to the high school for my granddaughter's basketball finals only there was no parking spaces, so I went home and parked and then walked back to the school. After sitting for 2 hrs. I walked home. What takes 3 min. in car takes 20 min. to walk. Now resting for the night. I also called oldest son for his bd while walking. Exercise I wasn't planning on.Now to get ready to start the week.
Have a great week everyone. In 1 day we had 2 pages of communications.

Aww Carol, you are so sweet! Many of my friends say I need to color my hair, but I have no desire to dance that dance. In a constant loop of touch ups etc.
You are beautiful too!💖

I went overboard at a new wine and cheese shop. But I made myself take the dog on an extra long walk before I indulged.
I have to remind myself that this is a life style change and cheese and crackers is part of who I am. I practiced moderation by putting stuff on my plate, half filled with grapes, and left the kitchen. No seconds!
It may sound strange to say I’m proud of myself, but the wedge of cheese and box of crackers didn’t get devoured!8 -

Did some balance games on the Wii. Boy, does my balance s***. The plan for tomorrow is to take the extremepump class.
After exercise went to Aldi then Michaels then WalMart then bought gas. I really didn’t need it, but I got it anyway.
Came home and made more of the lemon bars for Vince to have when we get back, then made some soup. I’m going to try taking that to FL
SuziQ – what would an ENT doc do? I don’t understand how he could help.
Carol – thanks for that tip about the tortilla. Is it 100% whole wheat?
I feel so bad for Jess. She called last night asking if we had any tips as to how she can save money grocery shopping. We told her about using off-name brands, she was talking about Amazon delivery but I showed her that their prices really aren’t all that good. Money I’m sure is really tight. When we get back from FL, I’m definitely going to make her a “care” package. Aldi has potato chips on sale so I will send her a bag at least
Heather – I didn’t know the IP had an app! I’m really loving mine.
Terri – AC Moore went out of business here. They expect to close their store by the end of February. Michael’s bought them out. To me, Michael’s is more expensive and less friendly.
Marianne WV – now I remember you telling us about your tumor! So glad to hear that everything’s just fine
Samand – cheese is one of my downfalls. I’m like you, if I put it on my plate, that’s all I have. Plus, I have this “thing” in me that says that I should finish everything so I clean my plate like a good girl. That’s my portion control, same as yours
Newcomers is evidently having some sort of ceramics get together. The pieces (according to the flyer) START at $15. I almost died. The pieces at the place where we take the ceramics are maybe half that amount. Oh well…. It’s supposed to be in the beginning of February and I won’t be here.

Karen-i know! So sad . Just shows how life changes so quickly.
Was a productive day yet lazy one......Husband cleaned up his toy closet. He fixed a few problems in attic when putting stuff up there. He only asked for my help a few times! Carpets cleaned and vacuumed. Last load of laundry in dryer. Paperwork all organized, shredded and filed. Property taxes paid, plates ordered for his cars, ordered a few other things online. I even started on tax stuffs! Yay! Watched lots of love it or list it followed by Holmes to holmes. Time for sleep.
Hugs!
Loves!
Cheers!

With everything that's been going on the last couple of weeks, I haven't been sleeping well at all - sometimes only getting a couple hours. Last night I slept straight through the night, no getting up to use the bathroom (normally I'm up at least once), no waking up worrying about how we're going to handle this or that thing, just sleep. That, combined with a good bike workout first thing this morning has me feeling like I could take on the world today .

Yep ... a good sleep + a good bicycle ride or a run is a great combination.grandmallie wrote: »Katla lol I dont have a ton of vises but tea is one of them I have no fewer than 20 different boxes of tea lol chamomile included....
Me too. I like one or two caffeinated teas, but drink a lot of different un-caffeinated teas in the evenings.

I’m still coughing. Don’t tell me to go to the ER or the doctor’s, I have been and have been on antibiotics twice, gotten a steroid injection, and have an inhaler. Vince wonders if it might not be an allergy to something. Since we’ll be in FL for a few weeks, that’ll be a pretty good look-see. If I don’t cough after a while, maybe it’s time to see an allergist. Vince says I’ve been coughing since this summer, but I think it was just after I went to the MD for my annual physical and got my flu shot

Slept well.
Hope to get a bit of writing done today.
Proud if myself for saying no to my son's request for DH to 'tutor' Max, even informally. He rang us last night , but I told him I wasn't happy about it. We'll still enjoy our 1 to 1s, but keep it just a fun thing.

Thank you so much for the good wishes/prayers for my sister in law. She had her brain scan yesterday, should get the results when she sees her oncologist on Tuesday, so keeping everything crossed for good news.
Had a lovely coffee morning with two friends last week, I really needed the break. It was good to see them and have a laugh! We are going to try and arrange a monthly coffee morning seeing as we are all retired.
My mums Blue Badge needs renewing. Good grief they don't make it easy! I thought it would be a simple form to say that nothing has changed since last year, but no. They need a photograph, a copy of her marriage certificate and a utilities bill with her name on it. Not sure if I can go to the office in town to show them or if it has to be done on-line I need to double check.
Love to all

Margaret, thanks for suggesting the core exerice of pulling in your belly button towards your back. I definitely should work on my core, and this is an easy one to remember. Good idea about standing on one foot when waiting in a queue too, I'll practice both of these.4
