    Tracey you sure didn't deserve that comment. That was nasty of him. Many hugs your way.

    GINNY, how sweet to get a loving text from your granddaughter!
    LISA I didn't realise there's a "save draft" that's a big boon!
    BARBARA I can relate about changing wish to see people or do different activities.

    4000 steps to start day.
    good protein breakfast
    264c 16g carbs 12 g fat 21 G protein. (ingredients: 10g cereal, 10g protein powder, 200c soy yogurt, 100g soy milk, 3g squash seeds, 1g coconut, 12 g dried figs (1 fig), vanilla, cardamom. I usually have fresh fruit but was out.
    Going for a yearly specialist check up across town today. I need to get there 30 min early to be on the safe side plus 40 min transport. with round trip that eats up the morning. I'll bring a book on the subway.
    I have had chronically low WBC count for about 15 years, so it's surveyed, nothing found. Last time the specialist wanted me to jog 10 min and eat a small chocolate bar (mid-morning) before getting blood test to "boost" my WBC. It seemed to work. I'm not keen eating sugar that I would never eat (I would rarely eat 40g of (bad) chocolate in the morning). to artificially boost my numbers. Wouldn't they prefer to know my normal number rather than an artificially boosted one?

    Morning
    Yesterday spent a couple of hours volunteering at the Joseph Rowntree Theatre box office. I think I am getting the hang of the computer booking system. I managed to sell a few tickets and answer a few queries. I also remembered how to use the personal account of a customer who has had tickets credited to it from a previous show that for some reason they had been unable to attend.

    Afterwards I went to mums and took her to get her blood tested at the nearby shopping centre. Her buggy was charged up and she was away - I had to ask her to slow down and not to forget I can't walk that fast :D Of course the blood taking was upstairs so we had to go up in the lift (which we both hate) we had to take a ticket ours was No 27 we took a seat and waited. Then the nurse came out and shouted No 2 :o:) yes we had a long wait, but it was over in a few minutes, mum hates needles so kept her eyes closed.

    We had a look around the shops and went for a coffee, I went over my calories by choosing a piece of tiffin to go with my latte, but hey ho today is another day - I'll be mindful of what I am eating . We popped into the cemetery on the way home to check on my hubby and dad. I need to take a cloth next time to wipe the grass off the headstones. Mum got a bit stuck trying to turn around and had to get off her buggy whilst I pulled it around for her and she nearly fell over (her balance is terrible) luckily she managed to stay on her feet. Goodness knows what we'd have done if she'd fallen as there was no one around to help.

    I was shattered by the time we got home, I walked over 20,000 steps which is a lot for me.

    Think I'll take it easy today, although I did really want to visit my niece in Shipley - it's her mum's (my dear sister in law) birthday today. She passed away in November, and Katie is finding it hard to cope on her own. I wish I could drive. :(

    Better get my exercise done, I'm feeling a bit sluggish so hopefully this will get me motivated.

    Have a good day ladies
    Love to all

    Kim: Hooray for the counselling. Your mom is lucky she has such a caring daughter.
    Annie: Joining Lisa and Heather on lunges. If they hurt, don't do them!

    Just a question...Is anyone else using the new "Save Draft" button just below the box you post in? I've started to use it.

    This meme is so me with coffee.
    I've started to use the Draft button, but don't always remember 😃

    Tracey, I'm so sorry Roger's comments hurt. If it helps any, jealousy is never about you. It's very possible that he's feeling insecure or he wouldn't be spouting such absolute taradiddle. Genuinely, many men of his age just don't have the tools to be able to say how they're feeling. For instance, Corey will often use a joke to say what he needs to say safely. That way, if I get ticked off, he can say, "I was just joking!" or "You know I joke about everything!" when I call him on it. I sent you a direct message. I love the procrastination meme. So me!

    Viv, 20,000 steps is a lot! I'm still trying to get over 10,000.

    Kim, So pleased the insurance people are coming through for you, and so glad you're going to counseling. Wish your mom would go too, but those opinions are pretty ingrained once you hit 90. :neutral:

    Michele - The "Save Draft" button is at the right-hand side of the screen, just below the box that holds your post in progress:

    I'm just heating the kettle for my third and final cup of tea. The day ahead is full of possibilities! It's already 70 degrees, so any of the outside work I want to do will have to be done after the sun comes up enough that I can see. Don't want to end up stepping on a snake... It's supposed to be up to 95 degrees today, so the inside work can be done after noon. That's what air conditioning is for! So amazing to wake up feeling like myself again. I'm so grateful for it.

    Later, y'all,
    Love,
    Lisa in AR

    Good morning ladies!

    Hmmm. This community seems to be against lunges for me. It would be childish and stubborn to oppose that much wisdom. Time for me to reconsider.

    I did find a video on Yoga for Sensitive Knees. I can try that tomorrow. Tonight is dumbbells. But first is grocery shopping.

    Have you been to a sports doctor or physiotherapist about your knees? It really is a good idea. :)

    Tracey - Big hugs. It may be that he is feeling sensitive to the fact that you are keeping the whole thing going. The Amazon thing was weird though. I'd be a bit paranoid too! :p
    Can you chat, once you are all calmed down, just to see if anything is bothering him. Men are useless at saying what they are feeling.

    My DH expressed his dislike of my listening to my favourite podcasts and videos this morning. Basically he is jealous, I think. He is jealous of this thread, the attention I give my friends, the people in the media I like, etc etc. It is just insecurity. He is suspicious of all 'celebrity ' and I have had to surmount and ignore his dislike of all that to get on with doing my own work on my books , Instagram etc. It's his problem, not mine, and makes his life smaller. I take a deep breath and continue to lead mine.

    Otherwise we get on well. Picking up Bea today and seeing all the grandchildren. Then tomorrow night he actually suggested :o going to an Afro-Carribean music performance on the seafront. I was amazed. It's only for an hour and we can take a picnic.

    Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxx

    That name sounds right Kylia and they own a mower repair business. Has anyone heard anything from her?

    Tracey--Hugs. I do not understand the games some men feel the need to play.

    Doctor's appointment yesterday went well. He noticed I have lost over 20 pounds in the last year and said my heart is doing very well. Don't have to go back for another year.

    Today after work will go vote. I will be so glad when this is over, I am tired of the robo calls at home, on my cell and at work. Also the ads on TV are terrible. Everyone wants to dig up dirt and if they can not find any they make it up.

    Have my monthly management meeting this afternoon. I do not like meetings. Then tomorrow morning I have an 9am meeting with the new CEO of our division. He has decided to tour each of the 28 hospitals and meet with management staff one on one. Be glad when that is over also.

    Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

    Tracey ... so sorry you had a bad day. I ditto the others ... men are horrible at communicating. Hugs.

    Vicki ... yay for the good doctor's visit!

    Kim ... Glad you will be able to get counseling through this difficult time.

    Annie ... I'm on the "no lunges" train too.

    Machka and everyone,
    I did see a diagnostic physical therapist maybe seven years ago. My boyfriend at the time insisted after my knee gave out on two separate vacations trying to keep up with him. He was the one who told me my knee is built a little crooked.

    Since then I have been doing clamshells with a band, side lifts with two pound ankle weights, bridges and unweighted squats plus stretches. All as part of my dumbbells routine. I could try single leg bridges but that feels like a lot of weight for me.

    It's slowly getting better. I can use the stairs now with a little twinge. Than you all for your concern. 😊

    Groceries today and dumbbells tonight.

    Have a great day ladies!
