@NBQANYMORE I have sent you a team invitation.
Most odd....I checked my messages, and don't see any from you. I'm starting to wonder if this site doesn't like me...LOL0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Thank you everyone for your condolences. Your support means the world to me.
We had some snow today but it was enough for a light dusting. It made me feel like Mom approved of how her children were working together. She loved when it snowed and expecially the big fluffy flakes which we did have.
I am struggling with accepting that I just don't have the energy to do my exercise and studying. I want to workout and study but my body says sit and chill. Due to this struggle I am also struggling with the feeling of letting myself, Mom and the team down. I promise you I know that you all understand and that taking care of me is most important. For me exercise is part of that but I just can't seem to do it. I also have had little sleep in the last 24+ hrs. I just can't seem to turn the brain off. I have also notified one of my team leaders and also put it on my team's chat.2 -

Please look under your COMMUNITY Tab, than under the darker blue ribbon/line click on GROUPS. It should be right there. WOOHOO Hey WELCOME ABOARD!!
@Cseguin2,, Hon please,,, you've been through a horrific loss,,, please please know your mind/body are in shock. As such, it's no wonder it's in a "I need to take care of myself, but I can't even function mode." We've been there. I have tears in my eyes as I write this, because you are hon,,, needing to take care of you, by simply honoring that. Do not rush thru grief. It's an unreal hurt to lose our Moms. It hurts so badly. It can't be rushed through. Oh be guaranteed your team feels the same way. Absolutely with no question and no doubt. As you know snow is beautiful, refreshing, and so clean. It's why so many of us, and your Mom loved it so. As it snows especially the big flakes, it's also a special peacefulness about it. It'll take sometime before you again feel at peace, and that is to be expected.
We do support you. We do care.
@Bookienj ,, SO sorry about your Grandma!! My Nana made it to 96!! At her funeral it was strange, but she'd of LOVED it, no one cried, oh sure we miss her horribly, but she made it to 96 and until 94 she could still walk a mile daily, garden, and do light housework!! That lady was so amazing!! At your Grandmas age congestive heart failure isn't that great. I am in congestive heart failure, but I am much younger and there are so many meds, procedures they do, but of course meds have side effects etc. etc. etc. Does she live locally? Can you see her if they are letting people in that is (SIGH). An Aunt passed away a week ago, though our hearts are broken to bits and pieces, she's not hurting any more. Its cool she got to see your kids!! Lately likely by Pictures, but it's awesome to see the next generationS coming along. That made her smile no doubt.
@wallahalla ,, OH GIRL you trying to get the COPS HERE???? LOLOL Laughing SO HARD at midnight,, hmmmm I'll just show them WHY and they WILL LAUGH TOO!!
STORY TIME As I unwind for bed. I can't remember the year (I DO NOT WISH TOO! LOL) it was the Super Bowl,, anyone who knows me KNOWS I LOVE the Super Bowl. It was the Pats (I live in Maine, New England so of course they ARE OUR TEAM ,, even now (LOL) VS the GIANTS!! RASPBERRY and not the kind you EAT!! I had a HUGE HOUSE FULL!! The only sitting room was on the floor so of course that was for the kids. They didn't mind. My "D" (not by birth) and the 2 Grands ,, her kids were here too. She was CHEERING ON ,, hmmm I DARE TRY TO NOT PASSOUT as I type this, THE GIANTS!! Well they BARELY WON (I believe there was a LOT OF CHEATING (GRIN) going on. Kim was ALL EXCITED!! I lived on the 6th floor. Conversation went as:
D- KIM STOP NOW!!
K- JUMPING AROUND AND WOOHOOing (SHOOT I had neighbors you know??) LOUDLY "WE WON!! WE WON!! WE WON"
The rest of us were NOT impressed
D- KIM STOP NOW Or I'll THROW YOU OUT THE 6TH FLOOR WINDOW!!
K- Stopped for a moment to do as kids will do (even as Adults!) "NO YOU WOULDN'T!!"
D- "I SURE WILL!!"
K- "Its AGAINST the law!" (AS one stops to think ,, "Is it against the law???" LOL FOOLISH KID)
D- "I'll Just explain to them "Oh she was rooting on for the GIANTS!"
Cops- "WHAT???" SHOCK throughout the entire complex! You hear NOTHING AS ALL UNITS (in the 90s) Came to a complete STANDSTILL!! (not easy for some elderly who topple over easily!)
D- "THE GIANTS that's why I THREW HER OUT THE WINDOW!!"
Cops,, walked over to the window looked down "She's dead"
Cops,, "OH well ,, and who called us FOR THAT???? We were having COFFEE at Dunkin Donuts. This is a NON POLICE MATTER!"
Cops leave.
PATS TERRITORY!
LOLOLOL Kim did NOT like that story, but the rest of us did and DO!!
I'm heading into the bedroom EARLY as I UNWIND (now with a very evil grin! LOL) as a part of my bedtime routine. NIGHT ALL!! Please be safe.2 -
Mom fell tonight twice. 1st time she wasn't injured 2nd time I called squad. Hospital transferred her to OSU trauma center via Med Flight. She doesn't have brain bleed but it was serious enough to need it. Going to get some sleep cos I am too exhausted to drive. Wouldn't do anyone any good for me to crash my car and not be able to take care of her. My sister and I will go up tomorrow2

Please look under your COMMUNITY Tab, than under the darker blue ribbon/line click on GROUPS. It should be right there. WOOHOO Hey WELCOME ABOARD!!
Thanks!! When I go to the main Community page, it already has the groups listed by category, and in the quick links section, there's nothing about group invites. It did not occur to me that I would need to click on "Groups" to find the invites section when I was already looking at what appeared to be the main groups page. *sigh* Either I'm losing my marbles (quite possible), or that wasn't set up in the most intuitive way (also quite possible).
Anyhooooo...I found it, accepted the invitation, and am off to see what's what in that team.3 -
@NBQANYMORE I'm glad you found it. In the future look under Quick Links/My Groups. Hang in there with MFP. It's lots different than what we were used to but it does have some nice advantages if we are patient and persevere.
Which we all do so well or else we wouldn't still be here trying. 3 -

Good afternoon.
Diane: I am doing o kay.2 -
Hi everyone! Still cold and icy today. We’re supposed to get more snow from 6-9 today and then nothing else the rest of the week.
@Dianedoessmiles1 -thank you! She’s lost most of her sight in the last few years-until yesterday was living independently. She just started receiving meals on wheels, lost her ability to drive and pay bills but loves the senior center! I don’t know if they are allowing visitors but I am 7 hours away. I told her I would call today. She is quite a fighter!
@dkhudson56 -Aw I hope you are able to see her soon!

good afternoon everyone! it is a cool and mostly cloudy day here today. my daughter says hi to all! both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i have been for a walk and i feel great! i will definitely be doing some dancing later on. i am getting caught up on my housework today. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.2

@dkhudson56 ,,, OH SO SORRY!! That's all so very very scary!! I hope your Mom is okay. Glad she wasn't living alone. Hopefully they'll let you see her. We'll be thinking of you.
@NBQANYMORE ,, WOOHOO GLAD you are on your team!! YEAH YEAH YEAH!! NICE team at that!!
@Ceriusly1 ,, we are always learning. Ceri,, where is the "quick link" area? Sounds easier and we KNOW I am ALL for easier!!
@Patti241,, Glad you hear you are okay. Hey are you into football at all? Right now Rams vs Tampa Bay where NO DOUBT @Catwmncat is HOPING Tampa will win, but LOLOL I am rooting on the Rams, because hey, Brady JUMPED out of NE ALL FOR MONEY!! how much DOES HE NEED?
@Bookienj ,, scary no doubt to lose most of her sight!! Glad she enjoys the senior center!! I live in a high rise that's 55 plus. LOL People here are usually, well MOST though not all, pretty fun. Its kinda amazing to live in a large building and not have any real trouble makers though!! Of course being a 55 plus places are always opening up. So you just never know who'll replace them.

Good Evening Everyone!
🌨️. Woke up to snow and a good amount of it. Struggled to get moving but did. Mom knew I needed movement and sent the snow. She knows that I will shovel as I can't stand dangerous sidewalks. Plus I just love the snow. So that was my exercise and it felt great to have a purpose to get me moving. Funeral service has been planned and photos found for the video. My Son has decided that he is going to serve at the funeral to honor his Nana because he said that's what she would have wanted. I am so proud of him and will tell him so afterwards. Tomorrow is a day at home. Not sure what I will do outside of ironing dress shirts and trimming Hubby's beard and hair. My sister has been turning to me for lots of advice with the funeral. It feels great to be needed by her and to help her. I hope this is a start to a new relationship with her. But if not I will enjoy the time she is allowing me to be so close.0 -
@Cseguin2 ,,, I too LOVE SNOW!! And yes it's very good exercise. As sad it is, and it is, it's good the service has all planned out. That's a good closure for son and of course you too. Enjoy the relationship with your sister, I hope it stays as such.2

@Dianedoessmiles1 - I seem to remember she lost it gradually- she can still see a little-sorry if I wasn’t clear-just not well enough pay bills, cook, grocery shop. She hasn’t a special watch and clock she misses right now. I don’t know if those items are audio or just really big. Yesterday they were trying her without oxygen did the afternoon/evening/overnight because her levels were so good. She was excited and nervous about that.
@CSEGUIN2 - yay for the snow for so many reasons. Fingers crossed for all the funeral details.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Last night and the night before I was able to sleep better once I went to bed. Waking up feeling a little more normal is nice. More snow! Woohoo I got a little exercise in shoveling. Today's calories not all that great but that's ok I will not worry about it right now. Will get back on track schedule in a few days hopefully but we will see what comes next. Tomorrow is weigh day. I refuse to skip it to help keep me accountable. I have never missed a weigh day and won't start now. Not sure what it will show as I ate a whole big bag of chips for a snack today. It will be what it will be. Not looking forward to the next two days. Lots of people, lots of tears are on the menu. I am strong and will get through the next two days the best I can.3 -
@Patti241 ,, for a tiny bit I had stopped watching it, but LOL I am back to it. Though our team isn't in it (Pats) I got that excitement back.
@BoookieNJ ,,, I have a friend who can't well, but can see a little clearer now and then. Glad your Mom has some sight. So cool she did okay without the oxygen. How is she today? How are you?
@Cseguin2 ,,, I'd not worry about that at all either. remember it's a lifestyle, not a diet. Just one day hon at a time. I had a most wonderful cheesecake binge when my Mum (Step) died, it came off in time. Know we care.1 -
Evening everyone. Mom probably won't come home tomorrow. They are changing her BP meds and on a new heart med. They are thinking her falls have something to do with a heart murmur she has. It has changed. I didn't go up today. Went to chiro. Then the snow started again. I will have to shovel snow tomorrow before I go up-if the roads aren't bad. Also went for pedicure. I told the tech to really work on my calluses. She said from the looks of them it is a sign I am on my feet a lot1

@Dianedoessmiles1 -oh that’s great she sometimes has sight. My grandma is doing well. I just talked to her. She didn’t mention oxygen but said my uncle was in the room visiting and is staying at her house (which is good). She will be moved to rehab downstairs-had to get covid tested again today. I am good. Will post my own faFinished “the Lincoln highway” yesterday. Close to finishing two more.1

Hi everyone! Well I guess my life needed a little more excitement. Last night as we were sitting down to eat my 16 yo felt sick-she vomited then slept for 12 hours. Found out today-strep throat! And in 15 minutes my younger one is scheduling for high school. I get to participate through a Google meet!1
-
@dkhudson56 ,, Glad they looked to see why your Mom is falling. Hopefully she'll recover soon. Shoveling is GREAT exercise!! WOOHOO on the pedicure. YEAH YEAH!!!
@wallahalla ,, LOLOLOLOL The eye laser surgery!! LOLOL That hits close to home!! LOLOL But, as we know my outcome has been FANTASTIC!!
@Bookienj,,, Sounds like your Grandma is making progress!! So cool your Uncle will be able to help her at least for now?
Oh the book I am reading has me sitting on the EDGE OF MY SEAT!! IF ONLY we could count our reading time as exercise time when our hearts are beating so hard we KNOW it's equal to RUNNING A MARATHON!! I am SURE @Katiecondy1 agrees and so many others! LOL
Hope your D 16 yr old, will recover fast. No matter how old they get when they are so sick, it still hurts. A few weeks my GD called she had the flu, wanted to know what she could do (She knew, it was the comfort she needed, I was happy to talk with her) no matter what age they are. How did the Google Meet go?
