13 degrees Fahrenheit, which is good because it was 1 above zero when I got up. And my period is here, so I'm feeling just wonderful.
We had to borrow Son's car to take our car down to get new tires and an oil change and it's turning out to not be as expensive as we feared. So after he gets done with therapy we probably will be able to go get the car and then I am coming home and getting in bed with extra blankets and curling up with a heating pad on my belly. If I didn't have to go out again that's where I'd be.

Last time I came across this, I said "travel agency" because we could travel. Now that we're all grounded and not able to travel, we'll have to think of something else.
I could probably clear out the Laliques from a local antique shop for that. 🙂

I also thought of a computer store. I could probably drop $10,000 in a computer store. 🙂
10,000 to spend in one store- I would get an Endless pool and have it set up at my mom's. She could enjoy it and when I am there, I would enjoy it.(no room for one here really3 -
Yay, today I bought a plaque for my sister dwn in Shedd, Oregon from a gal up the street. $5, then wrapping it in a lap quilt I don't use. Shall tell her she can use it for her baby doll she has that we all played with as children.💖👍
Her and I have really bonded, calling each other on the phone regarding our middle sister. So my middle sister now doesn't walk much, in bed all the time. She says its her neuropathy issues. She also uses Depends and her daughter and husband deal with helping her with those. Its a sad sad situation.

10, 000 would go towards a cruise. Maybe a Christmas one, which usually goes to the Canaries. It would only buy half a suite though!!!
Otherwise, I might like a luxury break in Germany, including Dresden.
Otherwise, some gorgeous ceramics and glass.
Or new windows for the back of our house. Boring.
Pigs cheeks were heavenly 😋

Hello All. Welcome to all the new people. It seems there are a lot of you.
I have made a bit of progress on my injuries that have plagued me for the past 2 years. My knee issue is much better, as is my hip. I can run now. I haven’t tried long distance, but I can run and that’s a big milestone, biggest of the year so far, probably…although I don’t have hip pain anymore and that’s big too. Let’s just go with many fewer pains now. However, I’m still struggling with piriformis issues. It’s a huge issue because I have to sit a lot for my job and it keeps me from sleeping.
I spent money and joined BeachBody. I was getting bored with my other workouts, so I needed a change. They have hundreds of workouts. So, I felt it was worth the money, especially if it gets me back on track. I have been counting calories and doing about 1.5 hours of exercise in some form or another since late November, yet have not lost even a tenth of a pound. It’s frustrating. My sisters and mom gave me a digital picture frame as a gift and we put some pictures from 20+ years ago on it. This makes it very easy to 1) see how we’ve aged, 2) notice that I really need new clothes, and 3) see how our weight has fluctuated over the years. It’s a bit of a motivator.
Venting—I’m a bit (Ok, a lot) upset with one of my sisters right now and frustrated with some decisions my mom is making regarding her health (heavily influenced by aforementioned sister), but there is literally nothing I can do other than worry about her. So, I’m choosing not to. In fact, I’ve sort of “switched off” checking on my family for the time being. Let’s call it self-care.
I’ve been reading along and don’t have a lot to say that others haven’t already. I’ve spent most of January getting ready for our trip next month. We are self-quarantining for 2 weeks before that. I also have to get 2 weeks worth of work done before we head out. I don’t think we’ll have much connectivity while we’re gone and even if we do, I really don’t want to spend my vacation working. I’d rather be reading a book or just sitting and staring at nature.
I send big virtual hugs to all who need them. I know there are many who are struggling here.

Worked But I GOT TO THE GYM!!!! I did a 20-40-60 workout on the treadmill. Came home, got dinner ready, then went to Aldi then WalMart. Newcomer bowling tonight.
Can’t explain it, but at bowling I had these stomach cramps. They probably won’t last real long. Also, I have no idea what I did to my one toe, but it hurts. My feet, for some reason, were bleeding but I couldn’t find a cut. I bet that’ll go by soon
I have a head of cabbage that I want to use up so the plan for tomorrow is to work and then make soup
Anne DE – what language are you studying?
Allie – phew! I’m tired reading all you’re doing. Don’t overdo it, now

Tomorrow I am off early to Seattle to pick up my sister at the airport. We have appointments at the Swedish Cancer Institute. Last scans showed two tumors.. one on the lobe of the liver and one in the brain. Both tumors may need targeted radiation. It will be good to know the plan going forward. We are so fortunate that she has such a wonderful caring team of professionals. She is in good hands. Cancer is such an ugly disease.
