Kelly … sweet words … thank you. I like the unfiltered photo the best! You are beautiful!
Today we hope to finish opening the pool … getting the pump and filter running. I set a hose in last night to start replacing water and asked my husband to turn it off before he came to bed. He forgot. Now we’ll be pumping water out. 🤦♀️
Have a great day.

Is my age catching up with me? First week back on and only lost .6 pounds. A week of carefully logging and weighing everything leaves me discouraged. I admit that I did go "off" a little bit here and there - a cupcake on two different days not really logged, etc. But still - can that undo 7 days?? I guess it's time to enter half of my exercise calories instead of all of them. Last time I did this I entered all exercise calories for the first 3-4 months.3

Michele - You could watch a very good film called 'Rabbit-Proof Fence'.
I've just rung a cleaning company who put a flyer through our door yesterday. Very reasonable price. They will come and have a look at the house. My husband's and my cleaning has been going well, but I think he would be happy to hand it on to someone else! They also run a pressure washing business.
I must say, my new micro fibre extendable bendy duster is absolutely wonderful. The backs of the sofas have never been so dust free and my picture rails and ceiling lights are happy. Best investment ever!

Losing about that each week is good. You wouldn't want to lose much more that that. And it's especially good for the first week. It takes me a couple weeks before I start losing anything.
Keep up the good work!

I watched the Fourth of July fireworks from the comfort of our deck. They were shot off from Sand Island, across from us. It was the first time for many years. Our sweet dog was terrified of them so we went camping instead of watching fireworks.4

Good for you, Allie.
Happy birthday, Beth. I am sorry it is bittersweet, but totally understandable that it would be.
Glad your move went well, Penny.
Cool that you were able to enjoy fireworks, Katla.
Karen -- did you have a wonky mammogram result? I remember someone else just did.
Lisa -- I am sorry that you are continuing to suffer. I hope you get some relief.
Oh, Carol -- That eye procedure sounds truly traumatic. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
Heather in UK -- Thank you for your words of encouragement and sharing your experiences. I did buy a wig on Saturday. It was pretty expensive, but I decided I wanted it to look as natural as possible. It still doesn't look very natural, although my husband and sons say it makes me look like I did five or six years ago. I guess that's good??? Feeling much trepidation about wearing it in public. But that's a couple more weeks away, I think.
Welcome to the new ones who have joined the discussion recently. I'm here but totally distracted.
My youngest son and husband were traumatized last night. We decided to go to the local baseball field for some baseball (semi-pro? Not an official farm team for anyone anymore.) They were doing fireworks after, so I thought it would be a treat for the three of us. (The two older boys were working). We had fantastic seats, right along the 3rd base line, about three rows up from the dugout. Sometime in the 8th inning, a batter broke his bat and it went flying, up and over the net. All I remember is hearing something coming, so I covered my head and ducked. I felt it whiz past my head and slam into the seat behind me. Apparently, it missed me by an inch or less. People in the seats below were sure I was hit, but fortunately no. What a twist that would have been! Diagnosed with cancer only to be killed at a baseball game by a flying bat. I've been leaning toward dark humor lately.
But the fireworks were lovely, and I adore watching baseball. I'm not sure I'll take hubby next time, if I ever go again. I knew he wasn't a fan of baseball -- not of any sports at all -- but I thought he liked fireworks. He was complaining afterwards about the traffic and said we should have left the show early because "my ADHD was kicking in anyway, and I really wanted to get out of there." Sigh. I hate that so much because I really did have a nice time and thought we were having a great family outing, despite the near miss to my head. But I guess not.
Feeling stressed today, but I am not really sure why. It is going to be a big week, so maybe I'm just anticipating all that I have to do and to have done.
Take care everyone.

Allie - She is my new fave inspiring person! I thought the mummy bear was also something to think about. I am learning a lot.
The cleaning person is coming to see the house on Thursday and will do her first clean next Monday. That's her only slot. I would have preferred Fridays, as prep for guests, but it'll be just fine, I'm sure. We have guests weekend 17th, but others come on weekdays.
Watched a Spanish film I had recorded. Nice when DH is away!
Flea - - My thoughts are with you. If the wig is a bit bulky a hairdresser can layer it back a bit.
DH back in a minute. Gloopy risotto for him. I'm sure he will appreciate it!
Heavy rain and wind tonight.

Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
I don't mind the container ships but its because we had them off the coast of Hammond, and cruise ships too, stopping in Astoria. In this pic is the crazy outline of Whidbey island, the yellow circle is where Oak Harbor is, where we live. There's one whining article about a guy complaining that lives in Freeland WA, a southern city on Whidbey. So the ships must pass Coupeville, and Freeland as they go thru down towards Seattle and Tacoma. We don't hear them. Yay!

I had a post and it vanished but Jeans brother is a narcissist and im guessing Jean is to
I have to distance myself from both her and Sean ,doesn't mean i dont love them but have to be true to myself..and being berated and being spoke to nastily.. nope dont need it6 -
Michele--The shifts I work are 12-10 or 8. I do have an evening shift that is 6 hours.
Flea--Sending prayers and hugs. A positive a attitude makes a big difference.
Barbie--My dog would of said shaking and trying to crawl into my mama (me). I am so glad the fireworks are over. They went until after 1 this morning and I had to get up at 430, so short night for all of us.
Carol--Sounds terrible and that they would not make sure you had what you needed is worse. Pray the next one goes so much better. When out to our DGD's last evening for a cookout and fireworks. Several of our grandchildren went together and bought over $2000 in fireworks. I kept my mouth shut as not my money and they all work. But what a waste. We gave home before they lit the big ones as I had to get up at 430. Should of stayed because neighbors kept me awake until late. Short night.
Sharon--Good to see you back, missed you.
Tracey--Thanks for the smile, and at this point I will take about anyone.
RV Rita--What fun!
Beth--Happy b-lated birthday. Hugs I know thoughts of my son come when I least expect and some days are harder than others.
KJ--Love the pictures. Very lovely
Allie--Great start on the walking. I believe you are doing the right thing putting space between you and Jean. Whatever her problems are you desever better.

Oh my goodness. This thread is almost overwhelming. Starting again to live a healthier lifestyle. Don't know how many times I've started before. This time I have a partner in crime, so we'll keep each other motivated and accountable. Nice to meet you all!

Happy birthday Beth. Good luck getting that pool open.
Cool cloudy morning so did some work outside this morning. DD made it safely home last night. Relieved to have her back. She is off work today but goes back tomorrow. Says she is jetlagged but had a wonderful time in Iceland. I have seen some of her pictures but there are still many more.
Everyone take care Sue in WA6 -
Happy Monday! Had one of our employees just dump off all his keys and uniforms this morning and left a letter of resignation taped to the door....so now everyone else has to scramble to pick up his slack. How's everyone else's Monday starting?5
