LisaInAr-I know how you feel about enjoying the visit but wanting life back to normal.Sorry you won’t see the 8 year old,I know that feeling as well.But maybe you’ll get a chance soon.

Lisa, Bernie is like Egg about visitors. Since he is an indoor cat, he can't hide outdoors when people come so he hides under the bed.NYKaren,, glad to hear about the progress of your wrist especially since it is such an integral part of your daily life. Sticking to your routines is so important.Rori, I am thinking good thoughts about your husband continuing to enjoy his day care venue. It will be so good for both of you. All is the same here. Line dance today followed by pork chop lunch cooked by Jake.

At church on Sunday they were going over how to greet one another without touching. I added my Kindergarten hug. When I taught Kindergarten they student would want to rush a new adult they knew coming into the room with hugs. I taught they to give themselves a big hug to themselves face the person and send their hug to that person. It is not quite as good as a real hug. Still it did promote good feelings.
So Kindergarten hugs to all my friends here at MFP. Margaret 12 -
Did One-One Training with Jackie DVD today. I realized I already owned it! So I’d be willing to sell that one. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jillian Michael 10 Minute Body DVD. I KNOW I don’t have that one (or at least I’m pretty certain that I don’t)
I also found the Yoga for Belly Butt and Thigh DVD that I owned two copies of, so I’d be willing to sell that one.
Kylia – thanks for the info about inputting your weight. Any clue as to under which tab it is? Oh, I see that I can enter my weight on my tablet but not on my desktop.
Barbara – I use Chrome but it appears that I can do it from my tablet
Got a call from WalMart yesterday. It seems that even with insurance, my Lamictal will cost over $500. So today I’ll call the MD office. I’m sure he’s dealt with this before update: left a message for his assistant.
Katla – my understanding is that the UK isn’t getting the same treatment as Europe because the UK isn’t part of the EU. Why that should influence this is beyond me. It seems that lately your dh has been having a lot of blood sugar episodes. I’m sure it’s very very scary for you (and him). A talk with his doctor might show up something, maybe even bloodwork. We all change as we get older and maybe his body has changed.
Mary6 – you look AWESOME!!! I know that it’s so hard to see, but trust me, you do look awesome. Your mind may never see it.
M – did you have any doubt you’d pass your course? I didn’t…..

Brain 🧠 fog 🌫 morning. Still JRs too hyper (energized bunny 🐰 hoppin around) to sleep normal so tired. Trying to get him on a schedule before the time change then the time change messed it up worse.
To reset ones mind of your body (whether you went from too skinny sickly then gained to healthy/or too big feel ill then lose to a healthier weight) I’ve been both was 40lb range at 14yrs old (deadly sick),70lb range after giving birth to Daughter (how to scare a Doctor in 1 step walk in over 200+ lbs pregnant step on the scale minute the kids out have the scale be that low 70’s lbs). Been over 200lbs pregnancies. After baby 1 Daughter (70lb range),baby 2 (130lb range), baby 3 (120lb range),baby 4 JR (200lb range)
1. Naked alone look in the mirror so your brain 🧠 can record your new look.
2. Say positive things only as you stare at it
3. Repeat daily until you picture the new you with a positive vibe.
4. If your still not at your healthy weight keep aiming for that goal 🥅 (130lbs is my healthy weight )

All I need is for someone behind me on the bus to sneeze and I've got "droplets" in my hair. Run my hand through my hair ... and voila! COVID-19.
M in Oz
Ah, yes. Public transport. I forget the germs crawling around on those vehicles. I live where public transport is a joke, so I don't really think about taking it. I also work from home, so don't have to leave the house, if I don't want to.
We are actually looking for events we usually avoid due to crowds and considering going to them because they will be much less crowded. Unfortunately, many things are being cancelled. Had two conferences cancelled yesterday and expect a third today. I'm pretty sure my rockabilly festival will be cancelled in the next couple of days.
As for my conferences being cancelled, I don't really care so much. I don't go to them. I just book travel and have to cancel travel and keep track of the credits. So, it's not a big deal, it just shows how freaked out people are.

This is where I should have been sitting with my friend in the theatre. She just sent me this pic.

Well it looks like DH & I will have to postpone our anniversary trip
. I know it's right thing to do but still disappointed about it. We've wanted to go to Seattle for several years and finally had everything fall into place so we could go this year. I'll need to cancel/reschedule our flights/hotel/car rental/etc - hoping we can make it work in late summer or early fall, depends on when we can both get the time off work. We had considered going now even with what's going on, but we wouldn't be able to do a lot of the things we wanted to do while we were there and it would cause issues when we got home. DH works at a nursing home/assisted living place and I work at a school so chances are we wouldn't be allowed back at work for a couple weeks after the trip. In fact, the school where I work is on spring break next week so we're taking advantage of no students here to do a deep cleaning of the facilities and everyone who possibly can will be working from home, including me. There's also the possibility that after that we'd go to online only. Several schools here have already gone to online only or extended their springs breaks for another week. We've only had one local confirmed case of the virus here but I would expect we will get more - doesn't seem like anyplace is immune to it.

Heather I know it was hard to stay home. I think you made the right decision. Margaret 3

Carol: The truck did stop. More importantly DH manages to contain his temper.
Debbie: Prayers for your boss going forth.
Flea: Glad for the flexibility; hopefully things will calm down in a couple of months.
Amber: You made a great point about the differences in incubation periods. With all the hype I’ve been feeling like if I caught it I would be sickened unto death but I’ve come to realize that it could be just a mild illness but it could be life threatening. There is just no way to know.
Lanette: I am grateful for local grocery store pickup and delivery not just now but everyday.
Debby: Sending prayers for you DH and GS. That was really awful that they did not let him know.
Rori: Glad you were able to locate Mars quickly and that you have such lovely neighbors.
Karen: Fabulous before and after pictures! Congratulations!
For the past several months I’ve been dealing with scabby, itchy spots spreading up my body from my feet to my shoulders. I’ve been through three doctors and finally got to a dermatologist who hazarded a guess that I have nummular dermatitis. The first doctor (a weight loss specialist) told me that my body was off balance and I needed to drink more water and use Aquaphor. The second gave me two different creams, some prednisone, and another antibiotic and told me to use it and if it didn’t clear up go to see a rheumatologist because it would mean it had entered my bloodstream. The third doctor gave me more cream to control the itch and said go to a dermatologist which I did. It is awful. I feel like I am going to claw my skin off. Thank goodness it is not contagious. The dermatologist did some tests and a biopsy. So she let me know I don’t have any sort of infection and she could give me a steroid shot for itching and that we could discuss the biopsy findings next week when I come in to have the stitches removed from the biopsy. Meanwhile I am slathering on the petroleum based cortisteroid to control the itching as well as taking loratadine, montelukast, and 3 benedryls to try to keep it from spreading. DH said he was amazed that I wasn’t having any problems with our high pollen count. How could I as I’m living on antihistamines.
We've been put on notice that we might be teleworking until further notice if the Coronavirus cases continue to rise in the City of Richmond. In the meantime we all had to submit teleworking agreements. I put mine in for a permanent change allowing me to telework on Mondays from now on! That is a plus!

Rebecca ~ Athena is just too cute!
Machka ~ My hair has never been longer than shoulder length. Yours is very lovely.
Tere ~ Sorry about your itchy skin problems. I have eczema but it has not been too bad lately.
My daughter-in-law's mother has been on a mission trip to Tanzania, Africa since the end of February. I am praying that she will be able to get a flight home with all the flying bans going on.

I'm having a bit a bit of panic..so I spoke to the tax preparer and was in for a bit of a shock.. I pay quarterly to the state and IRS because I get alimony.. I am working part time and somehow when my boss took over they messed up the w4 and didnt withdraw enough. So on top of the quarterly payments I owe 2300.00 that's rediculous...ugh no my stomach is churning6

Rebecca: What a fabulous graph you just posted! It is proof that you are succeeding. WTG!!!
Mary: You are beauatiful. :flowerforyou:
Machka: Congrats on your academic success. I am not surprised that you passed the course with high marks. You’re brilliant and motivated. I love the Star Trek greeting from Spock. 
Rori: I am pleased that your DH is having a good experience with the VA group. It is good for him, and also for you.
Margaret: Your kindergarten hugs are a brilliant way for people to show caring without health worries. :bigsmile:
Michele: Thanks for your kind words about DH. His doctor was notified of the low blood sugar episode. He does a good job of managing his food/insulin balance but on this occasion, he didn’t take good care of himself by eating appropriately. I was out of the house at a meeting and came home to find paramedics giving DH IV sucrose. I’m glad that they came. It has been a few years since the last time this happened. The whole experience left me stressed out. :flowerforyou:
(((Allie)))
I have nothing on my schedule for today. YAY!!!!! Between DH’s medical emergency and my parking lot fender/bender I’ve had all the stress I can handle and then some. The headache and anxious feelings are easing a bit. Dull and boring sounds very good.

Allie - I guess since your hours vary you didn’t notice you were getting more take home pay? Having to pay is always a big shock. I know that if I didn’t withhold extra we would have to pay. When they changed The W-4 a year or so ago they made announcements that people would owe if they didn’t change their W4. Perhaps that’s what got you?
