    Kim – I think Denise is feeling a bit overwhelmed with Pete now working 10 days straight. I felt she was somewhat overwhelmed the last time we were there, and I think she’s even more overwhelmed right now.

    I’m going to text her that while we’re there, she could take a day off from work to do something just for her if she wants to.

    I'm glad you're going to come right out and ask her how things are going and what she'd like to do.

    You know what they say about assuming. :smiley:

    Yesterday I mentioned that we might go out furniture shopping for a new sofa, or two chairs, for him because my massage therapist said his knees should not be higher than his hips for his sacro-iliac and piriformis pain. He jumped at the idea, despite the price. Then I suggested, as a short term solution, that he get the base cushion off the sofa in the study and raise his sofa seat with it. He tried it and was delighted. It does not look pretty, but might help in the interim with the terrible sitting position. I've been complaining about that uncomfortable sofa for years. I have a different one and mostly lie down on it with strategic cushions.

    I would hate a sofa like that!!

    I much prefer firm furniture. My favourite chair purchased just a few months ago ... only mine has black legs. I can sit in it with my legs at a 90° angle.

    Good morning all. Out early this morning to do the weekly shopping.

    Was hoping to get some garden work done but it’s too showery at the minute.

    Our accommodation in Oxford is booked. I’m looking forward to the trip, but will need to get some new clothes. I’m finding that retail therapy no longer appeals, but I haven’t bought any new togs since the first lockdown in 2020. I do not like buying clothes on mail order.

    We have some work that needs done on some of our windows. Hoping it will be done in about a week’s time. As someone remarked, owning a property is an expensive business.

    Tracey: (((Hugs)))

    Tracey, I woke up thinking about you and your youngest daughter... I hope she finds a little solace in all the people who love her. Won't dissolve the grief, but makes it more bearable.

    Heather, Very understandable, that fear. My year's stint as a flight attendant helped a lot, but then, my own fear of flying was never of flying itself; I just filed that as "magic" in the weird filing cabinet of my mind. It was of takeoffs and landings. Pleased they're all safely landed.

    Regarding sitting postures, Corey and I ponied up for the electric reclining loveseat when we got to this house. It makes a huge difference for me because of my short legs. Since my feet have never hit the floor on any couch, even now, I habitually sit with my feet curled up, usually with my weight on my left hip. The only way I can make myself stop is by crocheting, as my feet have to be straight out in front of me.

    Regarding walking, I hate walking as well, because it hurts my back and knees, whether it's outside or on a treadmill. My walking posture is probably horrible. I really miss running, but the knee doctor was adamant, no running on the new knee. The only thing that doesn't hurt in terms of my legs is an elliptical.

    Supposedly more rain before 7 and then tapering off, but we'll see.

    The news out of Uvalde, Texas, is the toll is now 19 children dead and two adults. I am staggered by how many are dead, and how many families have been devastated. It's unthinkable.

    Later, ladies,
    Love y'all,
    Lisa

    DH has extremely long legs. I'm thinking about a 21" seat rise from the floor. Machka 's chair is similar to those we are thinking about, but DH needs higher.
    I never sit in chairs for long and I hate standing. I feel all the blood draining to my feet. I have to have my feet up, so I am usually semi-recumbent. I do all my writing on the bed. Like Lisa and Tracey, walking is very uncomfortable for me, but I'm trying to learn a new way. :o;) Like Lisa, I have spent a lot of time with my legs curled up if there is no alternative. Now I am old, that is not so good. :p

    Trying to write the blurb for my new book. I have opened a file called "Blurb". A good start. ...... I find it the hardest bit of the book.
    Decided to listen to a podcast about death instead.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    I did my yoga and my fast marching. Yay! I've been pretty good on the diet and exercise for May after an awful April. I wish I would do as well on my other chores! Today I will work on cleaning my room.

    Sad news Tracey. I am so sorry for the loss of the baby. Was this a first born? My own mom miscarried twice before I was born. I hope your daughter will recover and be able to have another baby.

    ❤️ :heartbreak: ❤️
