WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR APRIL 2020

I have a Dyson and love it for small jobs. I do have to regularly cut my long hair out of the brushes though. For our cleaner I bought a normal vac as it doesn't have a time limit and the suck is stronger for all the carpets upstairs. The Dyson is a stick, but can easily be broken down to a dust buster for the car etc.
Personally I would never buy another Dyson as the man is a b.....d. On every level.

Now to get to writing.

suziq113 what's a PITA

auntiebk awwww thanks... back then, when we met, I was a chunky monkey, aint gonna lie

I am torn with a decision. I know what the right thing to do is, but am clouded over needs and wants for me and someone else.

I had a hair appointment scheduled for this Saturday. I am resolved with letting it grow out and make due. The salon left me a message and stated given the situation they are not open and once they find out when they can open they will fit me in as soon as possible. Cheryl proceeded to say, if you are interested David is taking some side jobs and she left his phone number.

Here is my back and forth. A cut is a need and I can do without. I can wait. Everyone is in the same boat. That said, David has not had an income for over a month and I know he could use the money. He has been taking care of me for 30 years!

If I schedule I know I will be exposed to anyone he may have seen. So I keep telling myself it's not a good idea.

But, then again, FL wants to start opening things up, more than likely I will be sitting in the office on May 3rd, and if we are both masked and practice all other safe measures how different is it than me going to the grocery store?

Right now I am on the "no" side of things. And, I know he would be mortified if I just said give me your address and I will send some cash to you to help out. And, I want to help out. Hence my yes/no.........

Heather - Yeah for getting your refund!

Okie

Lovely and smooth will have some later on 21 mins enough for 3 good helpings. DH won’t eat this he hates celery, I love it my Mum used to put it in stews but never made soup with it I first tasted celery soup at age 16/17 in the canteen at my first job remember it to this day weird the things you remember 😂 Will freeze 1 portion and see how it goes.

Did Bob Harper’s Totally Ripped Core Workout DVD. Not bad. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Horizontal Conditioning DVD

ShredWeek – you’re much more than welcome

Kim – yes, it is a lung disease. He said he can’t wait for ceramics to open. I do hope he wears a mask when it does. Yes, it’ll still get on his clothing, etc. But a mask is better than nothing. Admitted, this won’t go away, but at least he may be able to put off needing oxygen.

I had a few boxes of things from when Jess was little that I’ve been meaning to go thru so I did that mostly yesterday. For some reason I kept things like budgets from the PTA. She’s not going to be interested in things like that. Thank you cards sent to me. In the trash. Now when she comes back I do want her to go thru what else is there. There are lots of pictures I would think she’d want. I found her elementary, high school and college diplomas, cards, things like that.

I’m starting to go thru Bryan’s things. I do need Vince to help me because I don’t know if some of the things he wants to keep like hockey cards. So that’ll be next. Then I’ll try tackling Denise’s things and give some to her each time I see her. Things like ceramics she made as a child.

I planted the lilies of the valley the gal gave me yesterday. My philosophy to gardening is “if God means for it to live, it’ll live”. There is a small area between the sidewalk and a column. It’s just such a PITA to cut the grass there, so I’m hoping these’ll take. Now the gal said they will grow in a shallow area. When I planted them, I saw that it’s only about an inch before you hit the footer for the column. The only thing I can think to do if these don’t take is to get more (my understanding is that they really spread so I’m sure in a year or two I can get more from her) and put down some topsoil to bring the ground level up some

Before, when I’d take the water class, I always put lotion on my arms and legs after the class because the chlorine really dried out my skin – to the point that I would scratch it so much that it would bleed. Well, I am taking showers at home but not putting on the lotion. It never dawned on me to do it. Last night my arm started to itch. I know that’s the cause so I just need to use more and more lotion.

SuziQ – I totally agree that the participation trophy was a really bad idea. Vince said he wants to talk to her alone (not sure why). Yes, they were playing the ask dad then mom game. But part of it is also that Jess misunderstands a lot and sometimes Vince isn’t as explicit as he should be. We have one of those mats that is like grass right outside the litter box. Admitted, it doesn’t catch all the litter but it does get a fair amount. I can live without it right now, but I put a Roomba on my Christmas list. I like pip’s idea to solve your dilemma. I would send that guy a bit of money, but not get a haircut

Pip – a PITA is a “pain in the ***”

M – Rhody reminds me so much of Shadow! Love the pics

Just made some pops I made with yogurt from the IP. I found that it was much thicker than what you buy at the store. My bet is that the stuff you get at the store isn’t drained for as long as you do. But that also means that the yogurt is higher in protein.

KJ – I bet this is something your kiddos would like. Just take a 32oz container of unflavored yogurt (I found Greek yogurt to be best), take a 12oz can of OJ concentrate. Thaw the concentrate but do not reconsistitute it. Mix the two together. I used to give this to the kids when they were little, it’s something even babies can have. I’ve also put it into ice pop molds and had “pops”.

I don’t know of anyone giving haircuts in the backroom here, but to me, it’s really not a big deal. I can live. Uncolored or uncut hair sure beats the alternative if you were to contract the virus

Almost ready to start decreasing on the c2c blanket that I’m making. Wonder if I’ll have time to make another one? Guess I should start anyway. I’m going to have to look online to see about borders.

Greetings from sunny Florida.
The days are flying by which is good and bad. One would think they would slow given the current situation, but I am finding they are moving very quickly. I think by keeping busy and sticking to a somewhat normal schedule has helped keep boredom and depression far, far away. Work certainly helps too.

Sending positive thoughts and prayers.

It'll be 4 weeks on Friday since I've been home. Loving it! 💜💙

Just so much less stressful.

And you're right ... it's flying by. I knew it would. Once you settle into something, the next time you lift your head to look around months have gone by.

Hi Gals,

SuziQ - I would be tempted to check in with David, and see if he would cut your hair outside, with him wearing a mask and gloves… it would give him some income and outside is probably the safest way to meet with someone. Although paying ahead, or just wait it out are good/better options.

hugs to everyone.
