Well, rode the new bike, no hiccups. There is a gym close to us and he asked my thoughts on joining. We were paying $80/month for both of us at 24hr fitness. Here it is 39 for both plus the 99 for registration fee. They are .40 mi from us and is a 9 min walk away. They have early hours too, I can tell he wants to join. This would get us into doing stuff that we have been missing or being able to use the machines we don’t have at home. If you join on a 3 year deal, no reg. Fee and comes out to be $30/monthly, you just pay in one shot. I wouldn’t mind getting on the treadmill again. When we run outside if it’s not the road or a flat surface and you run on the sidewalk, the tree roots make the sidewalk uneven and I’ve had a good fall when we moved here already.
We will c
Welcome new peeps.
During our walk today we found a little water park, great for yogi to cool off. I am going to add to the fountain, our new purchase. We cut down the top stem so it didn’t stick up so hi, where the water spouts out.

PIP ~ You are finding so many new things to do in your retirement! Your purchases and sales are interesting. I miss the days when I sold antique/vintage jewelry on eBay. It used to be fun but no longer profitable. The water park looks great for Yogi!

Thanks, y'all. I'm sick of being sick, and it's starting to wear on me and everyone around me. Thank you for being a listening ear.
Farmer's Market was good - sold all three dozen slider buns/dinner rolls, a half dozen cinnamon rolls, and all the cookies that didn't sell last week - people came back looking for more. I think that's probably going to be my niche. No one else is doing it...
Came home, laid down for an hour and stayed quiet, and was able to get up and help Corey mow the lawn. I'm not ignoring the fact that I don't feel well, but I don't have to cater to it.
Rori - still thinking of you.
JanetR - such a lovely thing, seeing you.
Love y'all,

Bought a blanket ladder from OfferUp. I put it at the top of the stairs, $30. $45 for a white one which I would have preferred. I could always paint it later on.

Pip- your getting alot of cool stuff. And love the little water park...
Ive stayed in all day except for taking Dan back home.. its 90 + here.. and i havent turned AC on yet but have everything closed up and it is comfortable.. this is when I sort of miss having a partner, i get bored ,to hot to be outside and just Alfie and I hanging around.. at least if there was someone else we could do something..
I have to be very frugal with my money which is just the alimony that I receive. I put gas in the car every 2 weeks and i dont drive far.. i pay my bills and dont have a ton of wiggle room... oh well ill put on my big girl panties and deal.. with Dans work schedule it is hard for me to get up to N.H. and also Sean doesn't like me to bring Alfie,its ok Buddy his dog is there,and my nephews rottie Kona ,but somehow im not aloud to bring Alfie..
It is probably a scorcher up there right now anyway,but at least i would be near the beach.. after the surgeries i will have to find a beach where there arent more than 1 or 2 steps..hopefully maybe i can get up there for the 4th of July4 -

no internet for two days-(bad modem or something- ATT just sent the new one) I didn't mind too much- the guys on the other hand were really bothered by it- both just went to bed early.
Now to catch up here.
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

My irises.
I bring them out at the end of May every year and put them back into storage in July. Yes, they are fake!
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx
wow, those look so real- I would not have known if you hadn't said so.
I have some fake ones in a beautiful vase with iris on it(wedding gift from one of my favorite teachers when I got married to hubby #1- just saw that teacher last Sunday at dad's service) I need to look for more realistic iris(and not keep being so cheap and getting ones at the thrift store )

Hello friends,
We are getting a thunderstorm passing through right now. Lights flickered once. Expecting more rain this coming.week.
🔲 SLEPT WELLI woke up feeling refreshed this morning. It’s been a few days since that’s happened. I’m taking melatonin at night. Slept with my CPAP which I almost always do - but the last few days it’s been on snd off as I’ve tossed and turned and got up and down. I still need to watch the Headspace Guide to Sleep series in Netflix. I started watching it and realized I should watch or listen to it at night when I’m ready to sleep. It’s my habit to listen to something to help me drift off to sleep. For one - it calms my mind. For another - it masks the tinnitus in my ears.
🔲 TODAY’s PLAN
1. Daily Routines. Morning reset home for the day. Evening prep for tomorrow.
2. Zone 1: Living Area Downstairs
3. Tote Donations to garage
4. Duolingo Spanish Lesson
5. ICAD art challenge
6. Stay Keto
7. Push-ups
8. Walk to reach 30 Active Minutes on Fitbit.
9. Supper tonight: Burger on homemade bun with whisps and a salad.
ENJOY YOUR DAY!

Carol- antique jewelry is one of the few things I buy for myself- I have many beautiful pieces that were my grandmothers and my great aunt's- LOVE the rhinestone pins the most. It is so fun to look at all the amazing pieces. I haven't looked in quite a while(went a bit crazy buying for a while). Now I am a lot more selective. I just need to wear them more, now that we are back in church

Did my dumbbell workout. Yay! My arms are tired.

Lisa-UTIs knock me down. You didn’t need it on top of everything else. I would have cried too. Amazing how close friends call at just the right time. It’s good some things are eliminated.
Carol-too bad they can’t do both eye surgeries at once. At least they have a plan.
Allie-hope Social Security gets resolved soon. My experience with clients and others going for it is that once all of the paperwork is received they can move quickly. It does sometimes happen they turn someone down the first time and an appeal is necessary (that’s part of why there are attorneys who specialize in disability appeals). I do hope this does not happen to you (doesn’t sound like it should).
KJ-hope track went well. Exciting to have them competing at such a high level.
Pip-fountain looks great. I enjoy my gym membership. I have never been much of a runner and since hip replacements am not taking it up-but I do love walking. Gym treadmill is much better than mine at home. I find it helpful when the heat and humidity get bad here. And tree roots are evil-I swear they jump up out of nowhere sometimes.
Made it through the virtual Synod assembly. They actually did a pretty good job with it. Good hearing the ideas that other congregations are doing. We need some revitalization and rebuilding after Covid is a good time for it.
Oldest son called this morning and said he was walking at Laguna Beach. They rented a house and drove over for a mini family vacation for a couple of days. Can’t wait to see them-22 days!
Our early church service (which is a bit more contemporary) is resuming tomorrow. It is a smaller attendance but provides and intimate worship service. We are a tight knit group. Not sure how we are handling praise team-but we will sing somehow.
Going to check out a bit of tv. I did manage to get a walk in at the lunch break and then just a bit ago, so I got an hour total. Pretty good since I was tied to computer much of day (but I did get some work papers sorted and organized while I was listening). Productive day over all.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio

Do you read? Libraries are free and often air conditioned. You could go there or bring books, magazines, etc. home.
What about art or even the adult colouring books?
Puzzles?
And do you need to drive Dan? Could he find his own way? Bus, bicycle, walk?
That would save you fuel and you wouldn't have to organise your schedule around him. To me, filling a vehicle every 2 weeks is a lot! Unless we're driving to the other side of the island, I usually fill our van about once a month.

Machka- Dan lives about 3 miles from where he works.. he is very complacent and like i said probably (never tested) high functioning autism..he barely makes ends meet working anywhere between 12-16 hrs a week. No bus routes and he works in 4-6 hr increments...
I was just being a slug today.. didnt do anything except clean the kitchen..
We have a small library here at my condo complex and a gym,but im lazy and should at least go ride the recumbent bike...i am a people person and dont enjoy being alone all the time.. glad i get together with girlfriends ,i do enjoy solitude, but not all the time
Now that you mention it,maybe it is 3 weeks to a month when i fill the car,i basically go from my place to Dans to his work, then down to Toms to get Homer and Drs appointments .. thats about the size of it.. life has changed since the surgeries and i wish I had the stamina I once had.3 -
I have this coming week off!! WooHoo! I plan to address some of those needs.

Sometimes public libraries have free presentations and things. I don't know if that's an option in your area with COVID but something like that might get you out with people.1 -
