Pip sorry to hear Yogi has troubles.

Evening all
Terri sorry to hear of your friends passing. I felt the need to get in touch with mine as none of us are getting any younger and you never know what is around the corner.
Lisa the "Done List" sounds good, I too struggle with "To Do Lists", maybe I should list what I have done instead. Mind you today's done list wouldn't be very long but I did go shopping and do a few things for my mum so maybe I have done more than I first thought.
Pip Yogi is such a sweetheart, it's going to be a worrying few weeks until you get the results of the tests. Hoping he will be okay.
Heather what a lovely photo. You sound a lot like my daughter (also called Heather), she finds people exhausting and hates to be in a crowd and by crowd I mean more than two people! I do worry about her, but she is happy with her own company.
I've gone over my calories again, can't seem to get with the CICO mine just go in, in, in! I missed out on my exercise this morning which didn't help. Must exercise tomorrow, there I have put it out there so now I have to do it. I am too easily distracted from exercise.
Well it is getting late, I didn't wash and put the dishes away earlier when my alarm went off (yes I have an alarm to remind me) so I had better do it now before I go to bed. It is one habit I have kept up for a few months now, getting everything tidy and put away in the kitchen. I do enjoy coming down to a tidy kitchen in the morning. I am working on a few other things, but they are a bit hit and miss. There's that word consistency again.
Goodnight all

Well, came from the doc and had a checkup to see how i have been healing and to see how i feel. They checked my insides and said I’m healing good. They said that i am healing remarkably and that i look fantastic. They okay’d me to start (i asked) doing ab work (exercises) and i can start weight lifting if i wanted. He confirmed that i will only be on the blood thinners for 6 months because i got.a “provoked blood clot”, meaning i wouldn’t have gotten it if i hadn’t been laying down in a hospital bed for an extended period of time. They confirmed the slight pain and numbness that i feel on my right side of my groin area is because that’s the area where the mass was attached so it’s still healing and my nerves were affected in that area. So they said 2 more years of visits every 3 months then 4 more years of visits every 6 months.
Lady that was walking me to the room couldn’t believe i was 62, she said i was in awesome shape. The 2 docs that came in were also amazed that i am back to my usual walking and have started running. Did my 1st 5k yesterday at the gym (i did it at a little slower pace). Still riding on my bike trainer anywhere from 5-7miles. I’m getting there and they couldn’t be happier at my progress.12 -

Pip, you are a remarkable woman. So pleased to hear that you are doing so well.
Sorry to hear about Yogi. I hope that they can sort out whatever it is.2 -
Pip,

Pip- you are phenomenal my friend...
Well i was getting settled in and the fire alarms out in the hallway went off so i threw on my robe ,hooked Alfie up on the leash ,grabbed my phone and purse and had to go outside until we got cleared by the fire department...well that took 1/2 hr and i frizzled my tizzle and was quite embarrassed being out there in my nightgown and robe..
Someone on the 3rd floor had burned a steak .. honestly they need to learn to open windows not the doors out to the hallways when they do that4 -
Pip: You are such an inspiration! Bravo on your remarkable recovery, and I hope Yogi feels the healing vibes I am sending his sweet way.
Terri: My sympathy on loss of your longtime friend. Will you be writing a poem in her honor?
Heather: ❤ Bea
Katla: Glad your DD and GD are in town to brighten your days and assist with DH. You've inspired me to set out my hummingbird feeders.
Machka, Annie, Debbie and others in active caregiver mode: Bless you to the moon and back. It is the hardest job I ever had the privilege of doing.
Lisa: A Done List = Brilliant! It will only take a minor tweak of my daily online journal to accomplish this.
Still maintaining my general good health, and can check off having completed my mammogram and dental exam and cleaning. Yay! However, my exercise get up and go has got up and went...Not sure why I just don't seem to have my usual discipline for the recumbent bike, rower and other gym machines. I suspect boredom. If a friend texts to go for a 5 mile walk, I'm there. Pickleball practice? Sure! Or, a nice day just puttering around doing clean up of my house or deck, no hesitation. Today I went to hot springs about 35 minutes away from home, and enjoyed light swimming in a giant pool and a relaxed stroll in the adjacent historic district. So I'm not entirely sedentary. And then there is my ushering job which depending on the venue and assignment, can rack up 5-10k steps per shift. The other night I was working outside an Amphitheatre, scanning in patrons' tickets, and don't you know it started to get cold and snow! So, I just started bopping up and down to the EDM music to keep myself from getting chilled. I don't particularly like this genre of music, but the beat is infectious.
On the self-care front, I've been getting a massage every 6 weeks and a facial every other week. The facials are helping reduce the appearance of stubborn melasma.
Ran into this family of goats Monday while trekking through a nearby canyon.
Stay well, friends. We can do this.

Worked today, went to Belks since I had a coupon and got this thing to put spices on in my pantry, it was only $5, I thought it would be free but evidently I misread the sign. Went to bowling, ceramics tonight. This will be the last one for us until the 11th.
Barb – you’re right, if they took one or two deductions, my paycheck would be higher. Right now with the tax changes, we’re getting s*****d. However, I am at 0 deductions. Now I could have extra taken out of my paycheck but I’m not going to suggest that since it’ll make my paycheck lower (and the money in my “landscape” fund less)
pip – ewwwww! I hope it isn’t cancer. Of course you’re healing remarkably – just look at the condition you are in. Bet you are blowing them away!!!
Beth – even tho you’re eating only one meal/day, logging will let you know if it’s just the wrong foods
Rori – our neighbor has goats! Whenever I go for a walk around the neighborhood I see them.

I honestly don't remember, is anyone from Iowa? If so, how has your weather been? Has it been sweater weather? I'm trying to get packed for going to Jess' Tuesday

It’s been a busy month here in the group and in life. Finally! The vacation problems in the payroll system are corrected. 2 more small changes that should be made this week and it’s all done!
I may have some mental energy left at the end of the day soon.
I found out on Saturday our family will be growing again by the end of the year! Our youngest is due Dec 28th.
Currently we are keeping their current “baby” Ember the dog. They have gone to Manitoba for a memorial service and will tell his family the news while they are there.

Rita with your son's episode I would think that he would qualify for help from a social worker. Especially since he could be considered a vulnerable adult. 💞
Carla I definitely will bring as much sunshine and warmth back with me!☀️

Made a complaint to the front desk about noise in my room. I wanted to log it. I will have to visit the website, but I hope for a refund, or partial refund. This morning, at breakfast, I got them to turn the music down to an acceptable level. Win! The breakfast was fine, but I overindulged. Never mind, it's only one day.
I will be setting out in just over an hour to meet my friends at the Foundling Museum. Then a posh lunch at Noble Rot and I'm off! I'm still trying to decide whether to take my bag with me, or leave it in the left luggage. It's a 20 minute walk back to the hotel from the restaurant.
I washed my hair this morning and I'm feeling better. Yesterday was great, but I was a bit on edge. More relaxed now. I'm currently listening to a mental health podcast. 😀
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx3
