Katla,
I am here, reading along each day!
Feeling neurotic and anxious about all I have to do.
Wondering why I self-sabotage when I have a lot to accomplish.
All totally worthless - the neurosis, the anxiety, and the wondering. Pffffttt!
Karen in Virginia
Sending prayers for your family and for you. You are hurting along with others in your family. I hope for the best possible outcome for your brother in law, the family, and for you.

Michele- here, it is more that the stores don't have people to stock the items. We went in one of the Safeway's and looked like no one came in to work meat department,seafood department or frozen.
Yes, there are some shortages but not like what we saw. (dh works at another Safeway so knows about shortages and price changes as he helps in that department a few times a week).2 -

Allie - thinking about you and Tracy, hope all goes very well...
For all the West Coast folks, and a few inland states as well, if you bought ground beef recently, you might want to check it at this website.
The usual suspect of E.coli, and that site gives you a list of where it was distributed, and which kind.
Later, y'all,
Love,

Interesting. I had just purchased ground beef and a day after, it had turned brown. It's in the landfill now (or on it's way), but now I'm glad I tossed it. Thanks for the post.2 -
Allie - what wonderful news! I just popped in to see if there was any word from you.
Gotta run, but so glad everything is well.

Tracy said she cried through the surgery because she is acared of surgery, but he came out crying and they got him cleaned up and she had bonding time and he was able to nurse right away.. so all is well. There just resting i think8 -
So pleased, Allie! Congratulations on your new grandson's birth, I know you're looking forward to holding him...1

Allie - Congratulations on the new little one. Glad everyone is doing well.
Julie - I use an app called Calm. they have guided meditations, sleep stories, and music. Some inspirational talks on different subjects. I personally like that kind of thing and have used it in teaching my arthritis classes and laughter yoga. I have also done the crystal bowls when I lived in Sioux Falls. I don't know anyone here that does crystal bowls. Some of the music I find very relaxing and use when I cannot sleep but other stuff just irritates me so I pick and choose. I have lately been using an album by Yo Yo Ma and Katherine Stott called "Songs of Comfort and Hope" that helps me relax and sometimes fall asleep. There is currently a series on grief featured on Calm that has helped me somewhat. I think you need to find someone with the right voice for you if you use guided meditation.
Gray day today. I went and bought groceries. I have been concentrating this week on protein intake, the total in grams and the percentage of my total calories. I am trying to increase the protein to see if it makes me less hungry between meals. also increasing my steps so I am in some kind of shape to go to Disneyland in February.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA5 -
Lovely news ALLIE, look forward to pics.

Sue-thank you for the suggestion for an app (Calm) for possible meditation/sleep assistance. I also have used some of the meditation/mindfulness programs on my fitbit app. My DH is not real thrilled when I turn them on. I’ve really been struggling with getting to sleep and staying asleep.
Allie-congratulations on the new grand baby. How wonderful is the miracle of new life?!
Today wasn’t a great day. I spent the day with my DH who finally felt well enough to get out. We ate out all three meals today and I went over my calorie limit. I’m disappointed with my choices, but we enjoyed our day out.

Congrats and big hugs, Allie. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Julie: Like Sue in WA, I also use an app called Insight Timer. I use guided meditations every morning by some very gifted providers, sleep stories or music at night to sleep, guided Reiki when needed, and free live events like yoga or group chanting when the spirit moves me. This app has been instrumental in helping me maintain equanimity.
Karen in VA: Be kind to yourself. You have alot on your shoulders, and in time, it will all be resolved.

Allie, congrats on the new grandson.
Heather, congrats on the publication of your short story.
Thanks to all the well wishes for my dad. I am at the hospital with him tonight. This is my first night staying, but my 8th straight day of being here all day long. My sister is finally here so she can chauffeur Mama back and forth. I wish they’d let her take a turn in the hospital room, but they won’t. I could only talk Mama into going home by staying myself. She has stayed for the last three nights. He’s had some setbacks. He is still at the hospital. We were expecting to go to rehab on Wednesday. Now the plan is Monday. They wanted to send him home on Thursday with hospice. Mama freaked and said no. We were still going to give rehab a chance. They discovered something called Zenker’s Diverticulum that was the source of the choking/coughing fits/falling. He’s been working with a speech therapist and a dietitian to help with that. Now that he has had a couple of successful days of non-episodic meal eating, they are more inclined to discuss rehab vs hospice. This is rough stuff, y’all. I’m not gonna lie.12 -

I really hope things start improving for your father!
I am surprised they're letting you stay that long. When my husband was in hospital, they had quite strict visiting hours, and that was pre-COVID.
