Barbie- not driving yet will find out when later in the month.
Taking tylenol and watching TV...feeling kinda yucky so gingerale and saltines.6 -
I made it up to my 3210 day streak4

Auntiebk that is an awesome thought, I’ll take it.2

Lisa - Yes, but I think he's a little pessimistic! All those people are still remembered and Gentileschi had an exhibition this year at the National Gallery. She is very influential in feminist history.
I think it is best to do one's best to contribute one's little portion and leave the rest to history to take care of. I like to think someone will read me when I'm gone.
However, in the great scheme of things we are only stardust. I love that.
So sorry Kim that your brother is still hanging on to cause you trouble. I must say I was wondering if he had been lying about the cancer, but it seems to be progressing now. Mother love never dies, I guess. Big hugs to you.
The grandchildren have been taking part in an outdoor challenge to raise money for charity. They have had huge fun, despite the very cold, rainy weather. Today they went on a Beatrix Potter trail through a park.
Schools in Brighton and Hove are closed, but our three will probably be able to go back tomorrow because their mother is a key worker. Terrible covid figures, so complete lockdown is back on the cards.
Haven't heard about our jabs yet. Grrrrrr!

I have been a mess for months now. I lost 40 lbs with weight watchers...gained it all back over the course of the pandemic. I quit WW this week because it was just too expensive. My new year resolution is to make small changes and to be consistent with the small changes. I am focusing on eating fruit daily as my first small goal.5

Machka: The photo is beautiful. I hope your return to work will be positive for you.
Viv: I’m so sorry that you hurt yourself slipping on ice. I hope the aches and pains go away soon. :flowerforyou:
Barbara: The ladder is built in to the hatch door to the garage attic. It folds up to close and there is a pull cord to pull it down. The ladder is not a fall hazard and is not free standing. We have a pully that allows us to pull boxes up to store for next Christmas. DH puts each box on a hook, and I haul it up and put it in its spot. It will likely take more than an hour to get this done.
Penny: I probably already said this, but it is worth repeating—I am so glad to see you posting again! :bigsmile:
Lisa: Enjoy your time with Egg while DH is back at work. :flowerforyou:
Heather: I also avoid Facebook, Instagram & Twitter. On rare occasions I stop in to Facebook to touch bases with old friends.
Kylia: It is good to see you again. I’m happy that you’re back.
ClarityPeace: Welcome! :flowerforyou:
Pip: 3210 days is a wonderful streak.! Wow!!!
Heather: We don’t know when our vaccinations will be available, either. :grumble:
I am eager to get vaccinated because I am tired of lockdown. I want my life back! I want to go to yoga twice a week & spend time at the stable. I haven’t been to the stable due to DH’s need for me to be a support person at home. I have been getting my exercise on my stationary tryke in the garage.
Today is my 3004th day here at MFP. I value the ladies in the Women 50+ group for companionship, friendship, support and good sense. I am thankful for all of you.

Kim - I'm so sorry you have to watch your Mother suffer so, it must be so difficult.
Julie - that is a radical way of thinking about it. I think we push ourselves much more than we need to.
Machka - I love all of the pictures you post of your scenery.
Viv - I hope you feel better soon.
Lights - Last year I put some fairy lights out in clear glass vases after taking Christmas down as I had seen Penny post about doing it. I thought it was a great idea. This year my husband bought me a beautiful LED candle and I put that one in the window, along with some others to give the room some light. I am part of a crafting FB group and I see some on there are decorating their trees for Valentine's to keep it bright and cheery this year. I also have a cousin who is keeping her beautiful tree up until she gets her vaccine. She said it just brings her so much joy and peace she didn't see the harm in it.
Puzzles - Every winter when I was growing up my Grandmother would have a puzzle out after Christmas. It was set up so that whoever walked by could put a piece or two in. I have done many puzzles in my life, and received three as Christmas presents. Now that the mess of the holidays is cleaned up I will probably start one this week. I also received a puzzle mat for Christmas so we'll see how that goes.
Lisa - I understand your need for Corey to go to work and get back to your regular routine. I would love to be home by myself for a while, but that never happens anymore.
I need to get at my work day, I am not very "into it" today. I wish I had taken more time off.

Janet, you are and inspiration! Those pictures of a real person and their accomplishment means a lot!
Catch up more later.
I do want to make a wish for 2021 that my bladder issue is resolved very quickly!

Heather: I love the photo of your wonderful grandchildren. My daughter-in-law sends photos of our grandson and his new dog regularly. My daughter posts photos of her children on facebook, a place I rarely visit. :ohwell:
Tracey: I hope you’ll find time for rest in the near future.
Judefit 1: Welcome!1 -
Hi- I "tripped" over this group and wondered if I can join in? I'm 63, have been and intermittent "MFP" person but never joined in any of the community things. I'm trying to re-motivate myself and It would be great to have somewhere to go to "talk" to people! I love my partner but he and I have been together waaay too much! 😄8

Katla - I am so grateful to my DDIL for keeping us in the loop with the grandchildren . It means a lot at this time. I am thinking of sending them flowers to thank them. I did take brownies over on Friday. My son has organised all the Zooms and DH'S quizzes. Without their help we would really be suffering withdrawal. She sends the photos and videos on WhatsApp. I upload them to Dropbox and export them to my tablet, so I have them on my phone and my tablet. Can you ask your daughter to send you photos individually?
Tonight DH has a Zoom with his younger daughter and his sister. I will gatecrash for a while. His sister wants to have it early because she wants to watch Boris talking about new lockdown measures. I am just annoyed it might interrupt my programmes. I've already put my face on and dry shampooed my hair.
Delicious prawn dinner. Mediterranean veggies, tomatoes, and brown rice. Very yum.

Heather: You have a good suggestion. I'll contact my daughter later in the day when she is home from work and ask for family photos when possible. I'm not a fan of facebook, but that may be my only option. :ohwell:

You have come to the right place. Keep coming back

Katla - My eldest daughter with the children started a FB Message group called Fam Jam, the only members are her sister, my husband and I. She shares pictures of the kids, tells us of their antics and such. The Grands both have Kids Messenger and they can call us whenever they choose. They always tend to choose my working hours to call me though. LOL2

after finishing at 8pm. 40 min transcribing. Then I felt I couldn't do another minute. so I worked on transferring some files and saving my time machine on macbook. Very necessary. This archiving is part of the work; not incredible but still 1h of work in this direction quite late in the day...into the evening. Better to be going in a direction...2

have had the munchies for starcy food all day. now at 9pm making a big pot of green veggies from frozen (discount organic) to fill me up. I used to to that at one point when I lost fairly well.2
