DH went off with Max to walk along the seafront, ending up at Fatto a Mano.
He should be home in a little while. Hope it went well.
I managed 400 words and had a king prawn curry laksa for lunch. Heaven! Thought of you, Michele, when I tipped in the shiritaki noodles. 
Hair washing this afternoon. Watch a French video while rowing.
Mushroom omelette for dinner.

Last night and this morning I couldn't log into MFP. It kept telling me username or password weren't accurate. I've used the same user name and password for years. Today I changed my password and hope it solves the issue.
Kim Hugs..lots of them.
Lisa Corey was so near the disaster. Life is good. Too close.
Pip Just wondering, do you feel stronger everyday?
Lots more things I had to comment on but thoughts flit out of my head. Today I'm missing Kris. What a treat to have him here.

Morning, afternoon and evening, all...
Re: Tornadoes. Allie - No, we don't have a tornado shelter. Corey and I live in a stone house, and it's been standing now for around 70 years. In all honesty, I'd rather stand under the tallest tree and beg lightning to hit me than live in a mobile home again anyway. I am not so filled with hubris that I think our home is invulnerable, just that, in an inside hall, I feel as safe as I would in a storm shelter and I don't get the heebie-jeebies from staying in a small, enclosed space. The old joke goes "What's the difference between a Texas divorce and an Arkansas tornado? Somebody is going to lose a mobile home."
My feeling about the whole thing is that everyone has natural disasters in their area, heck, Alaska and Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest have volcanoes! Everyone just decides what they're able to withstand and lives there. I don't sweat tornadoes too much until the siren goes off. Then I grab my Kindle and a few pillows and go read in the hallway. I also make sure to take my phone, because my daughter or my sister or my best friend in Montana will be calling me shortly.
Kim, I know you must be exhausted. Well done on all you've made sure happened. I know that your effort is largely to protect your nephew whom you love so much, and it seems you're about to get to that finish line.
Trying to decide whether to go up to Walmart and get the few things we need. The weather is supposed to be the same this afternoon. It's these warm spring days that a cold front hits and generates some serious rotation that spins up a tornado. I think I will go... another ten minutes and all the buses will be back to the bus corrals, and traffic will lighten up. Corey, bless him, did the grocery shopping this weekend, and forgot to get the veggies he takes every day for lunch!
Later, y'all,
Thanks for caring!
Love,
Lisa in AR1 -
Good morning ladies!
I had a lovely Mexican lunch yesterday with my college buddy. I had been meaning to try the restaurant for years and finally made it happen. The food was okay, and the decor was cheerful. And of course, the company was excellent.
I'm playing phone tag with the doctor's office. So many labor saving devices these days, from washing machines to microwaves, so now we can use our time to leave phone messages. I need results of my mom's blood work before I renew her blood thinner prescription.
My knee is sore today. I'm glad I stopped yoga when I did yesterday. I guess I can go back to the abs workout.
I need to go grocery shopping today but I still don't know if I am cooking for Easter or not. I like to have big family meals, but I don't have much experience cooking them. It makes me nervous.
Well, back to looking at houses until the doctor calls.

Good morning from Seattle, WA, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest<3 My goal at this point to be honest is to try to stay on track each day. Or even one day. I work from home and its easy to get bored and restless and the kitchen is Right. Over. There. --->
I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in December. I also have an autoimmune disease. I NEED to do this.

Kim--Glad to hear things are coming together. I know you have a lot going on, please take care of yourself
Lisa--Glad to hear DH got home safe and the storm missed you. It is to be in the 80's here today and back to the 50's rest of the week. Storms coming this afternoon. I just pray we get some soaking rain,need it really bad. Lots of grass fires around the state.
Lanette--Sorry to hear about the damage the snow did. Crazy weather.
Michele--I am sure you will figure out the strings out as you do such great work on your ceramics.
Have a management meeting most of this afternoon. Be the first in person one in over a year. I admit I like the zoom ones better as can do other things and just listen. Also I can hear so much better over the zoom. But it is what it is.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE where it is to get into the high 80's today with storms later and in the 50's tomorrow. 2 -
Welcome Michelle in Seattle! You are in the right place!
Many of us struggle with food in the home. My mom wants to keep junk food on hand for my father including pie, pudding, cookies and candy. I have trouble resisting the cookies and candy. It's a daily battle. One thing that I heard but haven't tried myself yet is to write a letter to yourself when you feel strong and then read it when you feel weak. Also make sure you have healthy snacks more readily available and the junk food out of sight. Hope today is a great day for you!

Hi Gals,
Just me venting.... sorryI am protective of my nephew, but really I am trying to mentor him into adulthood – he is 23 4 years older than I was when my dad died, so at some level I know what he is going through and am working hard to be sure he knows and feels the support of the village of friends that are there to support him – us. In some ways I am also trying to protect him from my mom (Grandma) who is dealing with her own grief, but does that by pushing everyone away, turning down any offer of help and being hurtful to others. And then she gets angry that no one reaches out…. She creates; without understanding that she has done it; a circle that feeds on itself.
I am also facing that at 93 this may be the last hurt my mom can take. I would not be surprised if she passes in the next year.
I am also angry – angry at my brother and mother for all of it - in the last 30 years I have only spent 3 holidays (Christmas/thanksgiving/easter/4th of July) with my family and at each of those 3 he has threatened me. 2 of the 3 with a loaded weapon. Angry at her for choosing him over me. Angry at being told that she has to pick him because he is all she has of my Dad left; like neither my sister of I are my Dad’s children—and incase it went through your head – well? Maybe? DNA tests prove I am Dad’s daughter. And I am the female spitting image of my dad. My brother looks like my Mom’s side of the family. My dad’s death changed all of our lives, my mother picking one of her children over the others made it worse.
I am hurt to hear the stories from Tim of what my brother has told. Tim asked how we were going to handle moving my mom after my brother died. I said we would do it (it has been in the plans for years) slowly. There were a lot of things to move on, and some decisions to be made on where she wanted to live. He acted confused, and finally asked me who owned the house – My dead beat brother told folks he owned it. And this is not just any home, its 2700 sq feet single story on 1.5 acres with manicured gardens and a ½ Olympic size pool. In an exclusive area in Silicon Valley. What a liar.

Oh Kim - lort ,as Madea would say you sure do have your hands full. I hope and pray it all just can go smoothly for you...
Its kind of rainy here this morning but this afternoon will be sunny and close to 70 yipee. My kind of weather..0 -
(((KIM))) We are listening, and we hear how justifiably angry you are at the abuse you have suffered all these years. I love that you still have an open heart towards your nephew and godchildren. Bravo!
DH's walk went wonderfully. Max chatted away the whole time and even held his hand once or twice, quite unselfconsciously. So great to give him that attention and time. DH talked a bit about his own school days.
DH came home with the world's best Scotch eggs from Canham's.
Strangely enough, I was just listening this morning to a podcast about how important it is to truly pay attention to our relationships. Individual serious listening for at least 5 minutes a day. The value of attention cannot be overstated. The walk and talk is an excellent way to do it. Driving. DH and I do it every morning when I bring him up a cup of tea. We flower in the light of another's unconditional positive regard.
I hope that's what DH can do for Max.
