I was having a really hard time getting enough protein in my diet, so a friend recommended I try premier protein drinks with 30g of protein and only 1g of sugar. I was really hesitant, because all I could think about was the nasty after-taste of other protein drinks that I had tried in the past. I finally took the leap, and to my very pleasant surprise, the drinks are rather tasty and it's an easy 30g of protein.. So far I have tried the chocolate and the cafe latte. The cafe latte is my favorite so far, but the chocolate is also good. I was just wondering if any of you have tried these drinks and what flavors? I'm thinking of trying the peach next.
I will definitely try the chocolate one of these. I see they are at my local Kroger and WalMart. I desperately need to add to my protein intake so I'm always looking for something that "tastes good". Lol.0 -

Hooray boiler is fixed just had to strip off (was wearing thermals, wool socks and sweatshirt and joggers)
HEATHER think access to Netflix depends on the package your son has, I asked my daughter about her account, she thinks it is 4 devices at a time. I’ve never had a big problem getting on and there are 5 possible users, DD her partner and 2 grands.

Annie I used separate accounts to register DH and myself. I have my own and we have a joint account. So yes this is one thing in the system that I think creates a problem for regstering for the vaccine. As I said my friend's birthday got into her husband's Walgren account which makes it impossible for her or husband to use Walgren's until this in straightened out. I also had to create a Walgren account for DH. I already had one. So too complicated.0

Winter arrived this morning in Texas. I skipped both line dance classes today because roads were icy and I have no driving skills with those conditions. It was great to be able to just stay home.
I received my second Moderna vaccine on Tuesday. I had more of a reaction to the first shot. I couldn’t lift my arm for 2 days. This time my arm was not as sore.
This is what happens when the roads get icy here. A 133 car pile up just West from me outside of downtown Ft Worth.

Lisa: I love the humor! :bigsmile:
Rebecca: The lego metropolis is awesome.
Barbie: This is funny! “The town is known as the place where old people go to visit their parents." :laugh:
(((Cathy:))) I am so sorry for the loss of your DH. :flowrforyou:
Pip: You did a great job settling in to your apartment. Next step, moving into your new home. I’ve no doubt you and Kirby will make it a warm and pleasant home. I bet it will be wonderful. I love the photo of the bike ride in the snow in Tacoma.
It is only 8:05pm and I am ready to settle in for a good night’s sleep.

I was awake early, so took the opportunity to do my online Waitrose order for two weeks time. I find once a fortnight works well for us and I schedule the same day and time. We haven't been to a large supermarket for a year, but might start again soon, now we've been vaccinated. I might brave the bus if there are not too many people on it. They have been empty over the outbreak, but might start filling up again now all the old folks are jabbed. Masks are mandatory. I will double mask. Any kind of outing would be nice. I haven't been further than I can walk for a year. I have stayed within 2 miles of my house.
Hoping we can catch a glimpse of the grandchildren in the park at some point over the weekend. It should start warming up on Sunday. The night before last Scotland had its lowest temp for 25 years overnight. -23° C. We were around -3°C. I'm hoping Bea's new warm coat will arrive soon, so I can give it to her for an early birthday present. They all walk to school every morning.
Must remember to wrap DH's Valentine 's presents. I haven't talked to him about food. I'm leaning towards takeaway!

Bananas – I really didn’t have bad hot flashes. I really and truly believe that exercise helped with them. When I couldn’t exercise, they were much more intense. But as soon as I could start exercising, they weren’t as intense and eventually faded away.

Who will be leaving for FL tomorrow
Maybe that's why i didn't get them. i was jogging regularly back then and walking a fair bit.
I also didn't drink coffee at all back then, only green tea.

I'm sorry I don't have a picture of my handwoven lace valance. It was a blue grey subtle plaid. I sewed a horsehair braid (plastic nowadays) to one edge to hold the curtain hangers. It came out really nice. It's in storage in Virginia with all my stuff.
Sorry to hear about all the hot flashes and troubles. It makes me wonder what the lady politicians are doing. It may become more commonplace one day to see them sweating.
Four inches of snow today! The yard looks so bright and clean. Yesterday it was muddy.

Most women use HRT which seems to take care of the problem for the most part.
And I don't think people would particularly notice me sweating.
Hot flashes are more about how I feel inside. I feel like I'm burning up but my husband has touched my face and arms during a hot flash and they're cool.
On the outside, I know my chest and neck turns red like I've had a bit of sun. If you didn't know me well, or if I were a guest speaker somewhere, you would think I'd been out in the sun on the weekend.
And my face "glows" like I've got makeup on - reddish lips, a flush on my cheekbones. I've gone into a hot flash in front of a mirror a couple times and have seen it.
The only sweating I do is to become slightly damp, and there's usually a or two trickle that goes down my back. So when I'm at work, I wear a bra, a tank top to absorb the trickles and a loose, very lightweight top over it.

I exercise just about every day, sometimes for a decent amount of time and effort, and still get them.
However, when I'm exercising, I rarely get them.
We're all slightly different.

"Get to do"s and "chose well"sChose well: BP, Wed:got as far as I could then consolidated vehicle grant questions and emailed, board meeting prep and meeting. Thu: chiro, Freddies.
Bonus: Wed:2 loads laundry, Board agreed to withdraw application, continue working towards applying next year. Thu: Christmas decorations down and away
Get to do:, take BP, dogs to powerline, fire district: minutes, withdraw vehicle grant app, start taxes, input 2019 call sheets into NFIRS, work with chief on equipment letter, substance abuse policy, NFIRS mutual aid and other missing details, call Credit union re: credit card, ask for boots donator contact info, appreciation letter or certificate to boots donator, index mutual aid files; call S, call C, call R, FM Cu, watch STAS Day 20, make experimental almond paste, declutter sideboard, practice new dances (Do Your Thing, Pure Movies to Wine, Beer, Whiskey, I ain’t never gonna love nobody but Cornell Crawford (Alley cat), A Little Less Broken, One Margarita, I’m so used to being broke, All Night, Nothing but You, Blame it on my beating heart, Homesick); finish mulching flowerbed; broadcast cover crop seed in veg garden areas, invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, find and configure a screen time popup, figure out where to plant naked lady bulbs, and soon as it warms up above 50 and dries out below 60% humidity I’ll tape and spray paint those rusted areas of Aunt Elsie’s stove. Reconcile Joe’s EOB’s Thrivent shows only 2263.48 so far, next BGBS ask Terry about GB’s FD firetruck tax levy – contacts, media, advocate???, call Wild Rivers (541 247 3514) for dog wash/nail trim appointments.
Reward: inventory seeds, plan next year’s garden, wishlist replenishments,
Friendly February:
11: Send an encouraging note to someone who needs a boost: emails with music to B.
Whoo ah! After 5 grueling all day sessions working on the fire district’s vehicle grant application the pressure is off. Explained to the board there was simply too much missing information to complete the application by deadline 2pm PT Friday. Will keep slogging away and filling in the blanks and showing up Mondays to make sure new NFIRS forms are filled in for all calls. When they thanked me for all the hard work, I said, that’s ok, learning experience, just come to my house first and save my husband and dogs! Now to get back on track with steps and CICO.
Rita ((hugs)) have the docs suggested any next steps? How frustrating! Good luck Saturday!
Debbie that’s why after losing one cat to traffic all my cats were indoors only. Transitioning the born-feral Petunia was excruciating but I’d just lost Jasper so persisted. She lived 17 years.
Julie 2 hours is better than one! Changing morning routines can be a challenge. Any tricks that work for you? A special coffee for sitting down and starting? A timer for 10 minutes at a time? Or??? IMHO re: the therapist 30 mins 1x/month with someone I trust and resonate with would be more beneficial than more frequent less satisfying sessions. "writing, writing, writing..." Bravissima!
Pip HOORAY for the new floors, and your patio is looking great! Also hooray for never having to commute in the snow again
Beth puppy pics puhleeze!
Heather delivery takeaway sounds just the ticket “…no “tiara or tantrums” :laugh:
Suebdew hope the vaccination effects pass quickly!
Tracey had to google “heat tape” looks like a good idea. Back in Idaho we had to leave the faucets “on the drip” when the temps got below freezing… and they stayed that way for months!
Michele what you said about becoming more independent and learning to plan etc helps me to understand Mama a little better. She lost her mother when she was 8. Thanks and safe travels.
Kim thanks for that tip. I rarely drink coffee but when I do it’s the creamy, sweetened stuff. Will try some plain with milk and almond extract tomorrow instead.
Welcome @blackburn23 Cathy in NC and so sorry for your devastating loss. Is there a heated therapeutic pool near you that offers Aqua Zumba? Very low impact and excellent workout. Thanks for the premier protein suggestion, I’ll check them out at Freddie’s later today, as I’ve been too low on protein lately.
Machka “play with the bees” Sounds scary!
Teresa in OH praying for your DH's spontaneous remission.
Margaret I can just see Drew shaking her head “NO!” -10 brrr.
Allie sounds like you’re doing a lot… maybe a little too much? Bet seeing Alfie was the best medicine!
Katla we too are on our county’s list of 70+ ers for vaccination, but there has been absolutely NO hint when we will be contacted for the vaccine. Doses are scarce in our rural, sparsely populated county. Snow?!? So close to sea level? Yikes!
Holly hang in there. Used to hate it when my day started with car troubles.
Lisa saw an ice storm is headed your way. Hope you and yours are safe and warm. I’d read “…harshing my mellow” and “…for the butter”
Vicki hope your roads are well and frequently plowed. Looks like you all are really in for it.
Barbie “…where old people go to visit their parents” :laugh: Love it!
Rebecca Wow. Just Wow.
Kate the cats, those are some lucky rescues!
Cathy glad you stayed safe.
Sure felt good to do absolutely NO fire district work today.
Lighter, lovelies!
