Making ham hock soup. It looks good so far.
My middle sister, the one with neuropathy issues, bought 2 kits of survival meals. Each bucket holds 128 meals. I don't know how she thinks sometimes.

Rebecca — You are an amazing woman who supports your military men. You are brave. Perhaps your sister is fearful and afraid. (((HUGS)))1

You are too kind friend. I am not brave, but I have a myriad of coping devices that I use to give you all the appearance of bravery.👍💖. My sisters world is her basement, which she leaves every couple of months, being carried out. I am sure its easy to get overwhelmed if one listens to the news etc. My eldest sister and I are visiting her on the 23rd and bringing her lunch. I will then see what her living conditions are like, and how she is managing.
Hugs!

My big To Do list felt overwhelming ... so it spawned a little one.
But for a short while, I was trying to just remember things. That doesn't work.

Heather - I’m happy to read your family is all safe at home. You will rest easy tonight.
Machka - sometimes it’s the little things that cause the dam to break. In fairness though, a lost phone is a huge deal nowadays.
It’s now 2 weeks after the first year. I just heard this week though that if you have some in your vacation bank employers must allow it to be used. I don’t know if that is true or not.
I need to look into it.
Is there an end in sight with all of the legal stuff. I assume it’s all to do with your husband’s accident and him being compensated properly.
Kylia - how many vehicles do you have?
Michele - I use a Duncan brand acrylic sealer.
What do you mean about the “five foot rule”?
Rebecca - you need a nice wood stove. They always make me feel “warm to the bone” without the risk of skin cancer. I wouldn’t have it as an only source of heat though.
Vicki - I hope you get to enjoy your vacation and not use it for jury duty.
Lisa - sometimes we just need a lazy day. I enjoy them from time to time.
Debbie - I have the grands tomorrow, maybe I should take them to some garage sales. They love them.
Tina - Last week a coworkers other half who hasn’t been sleeping well and was complaining about aches and pains in his feet finally went to the doctor, after she threatened to leave him. He was seen two days later by a cardiologist as the doctor was very concerned about his heart. They are working now to try to get him healthy again. It might be worth a visit to be on the safe side.
The local radio station is
giving local graduates “tips for being an adult that you aren’t taught in school”.
Tonight’s drive home host told the graduates that there will be days that you work 8-12-16 hours and you go home to an empty fridge, it reminds you that someone has to fill that fridge and since you are the adult it’s you.
He went onto say that you never, not one day not say “I don’t know what to have for supper”, you’ll have that decision to make everyday over and over again.
I came home and told Rodger about it and he immediately asked me what we were doing for supper. I said I didn’t know that I was going to ask him. He suggested we go out to a restaurant. He never suggests this, so I jumped at the chance. He asked me where I wanted to go and I told him about a hotel restaurant that one of the women at work was talking about. He said, oh we can walk there. I almost fell over. I just loved that!
Today was my Brother and SIL 22nd anniversary. They have been together for 31 years though. Tomorrow would be my parents 56 anniversary. I never know how to word that since Dad passed.

Tracey - Lovely photo. I can see you are your dad's daughter. It makes me feel old, though, when I realise that, if I had stayed with my first husband, this 4th July would have been our 52nd.
I woke up this morning and went through my 'grateful ' list, and guess which was first! When the plane touched down yesterday I sobbed.
Have you applied for the new job? Over here it's quite normal to ask for some vacation to be honoured. Very, very, good luck.
I never have an empty fridge, but I sometimes feel out of ideas for dinner. Delivery is an option here, and there are always big discounts. I try to limit it to things I can't cook myself, like fish and chips, or real, wood-fired pizza. Not slimming though! We sometimes share a mushroom pizza.
I'm really looking forward to the brunch tomorrow with the family. I'm a bit neurotic about covid right now, with the cruise so near, but the restaurant we are going to has very high ceilings, and is spacious. The peak of infections seems to be over, so I'm crossing fingers. The family all had it in March/April.
Raining this morning. The weather is going to be mixed for the rest of the Jubilee weekend. I just want it to be dry for our walk to and from the restaurant tomorrow. I've remembered that it is the same place that we were going to when I so nearly got run over in our early days here. DH just pulled me back in time. I was half a second from almost certain death, or serious injury. I'm hoping for a less dramatic journey there this time! We haven't been there in its new incarnation. It's now called 'Oeuf' as in 'egg' in French, and is only open for brunch type meals and closes at 4 pm.

A person's life is often in their phone! But it did spur me on to take further precautions. I was up till about 1 am one night changing passwords and things which I've been meaning to do for a while. I also blocked and locked several things ... which I'm now going through the process of unblocking and unlocking.
Yeah, that's why I'd like to stay here until I'm finished working. Here, from 0-9 years, you get 4 weeks of leave. Once you hit 10 years, you also get long service leave. I'm currently at 8.5 years.
No end in sight yet. And yes ... compensated at all. The other side is becoming very nasty.
Foot issues.
I don't know what is going on with my feet, but I am being referred to a podiatrist.
My left heel (bottom of foot - heel pad) is so sore, walking is difficult.
My arthritis, which I've had for a while, has now been diagnosed as "advanced arthritis" in a very recent X-ray, and is bothering me as usual.
And the numbness, tingling and pain on the top of my foot, and up my legs isn't any better.
I have had me feet up quite a bit in the last 18 hours or so and the heel is starting to feel a bit better and the arthritis is settling, so maybe tension and lots of brisk walking.
But I need to exercise!!!

Welcome @PatDMuddle and @honkflap!
Machka No wonder you’re tearful and exhausted, losing the phone on top of reviewing that long chrisis. So glad you got it back, thankful someone turned it in. A pox on the nastyother side. Do you have a professional to advocate for your DH or is that you?
Kylia Joe is 6’ and I’m 4’10. Our first long road trip we took “Hilton” a great big ’72 Oldsmobile whose passenger seat was so big I could curl up in it and sleep. We left the the Bay Area, stopped a bit at the Grand Canyon and made it all the way to Little Rock Arkansas before sleeping in a motel.
Vickie will you motorcycle on your vacation?
Michele “…being retired, I need a calendar” made me laugh. I depend on my calendar WAY more than I did when I worked.
Carla fingers Xd you can find a happy place for your desk, good insurance is crucial.
Rebecca safe travels! What Tracey said about a good wood burning stove. Nothing warms the bones or dries out the soggies better.
Tracey Love it when our DH’s do something so atypical and so pleasantly surprise us. Hope you had a lovely meal and walk.
Heather you always make your meals sound yummy, even when they’re mostly composed of things I won’t eat (seafood, fish, innards)
Tina could sore soles of feet could be neuropathy? My Dr diagnosed neuropathy from a test where I stood on a machine that measured nerve/electric impulses. The rx? Alpha lipoic acid. Hope you get good answers and relief soon.
The price of gas has decided Joe to clear the overgrown hiking trails on our vertical acreage to provide an alternative to driving to the beach every other day. He lopped and weedwhacked halfway down the cistern path and back toward our only visible neighbor. I checked out his work when taking dogs down to the powerline. Impressed? Amazed!!!
Lighter, lovelies!

Saturday....I am still confused this week-lol. So much work to catch up on, but won't let that stop me from enjoying time with my grands this weekend .
Tracey- Too many cars for one driver! I own two- a 2012 Ford Flex (great for travel especially when shopping involved,ie girlfriend trips) and my Miata. My DH (who is blind) owns 2004 Tbird, 2008 Shelby GT, 2015 king ranch F150 (which we inherited from his mom), and the 2021 GT 500. We also have two work trucks. The F250 is mainly for plowing now. And my daily work truck is also an f150. So we own 6, plus the 2 work trucks. Most of my DH's are mainly driven to car shows. I really could sell my Flex, but DH is funny about cars. Even after almost 30 years together, I always feel like I need to ask permission to drive even his mom's truck, so the Flex stays. She doesn't eat much in her stall-😉 They are all expensive to feed when we take out though!
Love the adulting podcast!I also love your DH's responses. My DH calls it his cooking when we eat out.

Machka- Hugs! You have a lot on your plate. Fighting with workers comp is a pain, especially with long term injuries.
Barbara- Love your car trip story. Those big cars were so much fun! My dad had a Buick Electra when I was in high school. I got delegated to drive when going to drive in as we could fit 8-10 people in it easily!
Tracey I keep forgetting to say how much I love the Gnome.
I had better get ready for work. I am stressed already. Everyone being witchy these days. I will put a smile on my face and continue.
❤

Good morning ladies!
Machka hope things settle down for you. Yes, losing a phone is a crisis. Mine has a browser that wants to remember all my passwords. Handy for some sites, but scary for banking!
Not much going on here. Have a great day!
Annie1 -
Machka- a couple of things on your foot and I have had both.. plantars wort- its a wort that grows in to your heel and is super painful.. I had to have mine cut out .. but felt so much better afterwards
Another could be plantar fascitis...and im thinking with all the running and biking you do it might be more so that.. its basically shards of bone that flake off and iritate your heal sometimes surgery is necessary ,but i went to podiatrist and gave me cortisone shots in the heel and had to wear a certain type of brace to sleep and no bare feet and in the mornings i would take a frozen water bottle and sit while having my tea and roll it under my heel..you need to stay off your feet for awhile to my friend..
Thats all the info I have for you.. good luck.. going to have some tea and get myself dressed and then throw the laundry in3 -

Hello, all...
Tracey - Love the gnome! I did ceramics a lot when I was living on an Air Force bases in England and the US. Many of the bases had a full ceramics shop with lots of molds and classes, etc. I'm noodling around now with sculpting in clay. I would say "again" but don't think I can count the truly awful little bowl I made for Mama's kitchen sponges when I was six years old. I watched all five seasons of the Great Pottery Throwdown and decided I might want to try again. I probably shouldn't watch shows like that.
Annie - congrats on the nearly two-pound loss! I love seeing you post your exercise, it means you're engaged in changing your lifestyle for the better.
Heather - My heart just breaks for you when you get so distraught over your son and his family's airplane flights.
Got out and got the lawn mowed after my post yesterday... honestly, I love buzzing around on that big zero-turn, and can get the five-ish acres that surround the house mowed in about an hour and a half. OK, I missed a few spots, but then, if I was perfect, I'd just be annoying.
White clothes are in the washer, will be able to get those hung out on the line as soon as it's light. Had to wait on Corey's help today to get the higher things pulled off the walls in the shop. In all honesty, if I were by myself, I would have taken a sawz-all to them, ripped them apart, and then levered them off piece by piece. I'd prefer to save them, though, as we can always find a use for more shelves. It may yet come to destroying them, but hopefully not.
I think I've decided to put to the side the thought of selling things at the farmers' market here. I want to use the energy I have to work on our property, and right now, I'm still having to reserve my energy, to use it sparingly so I can accomplish, well, anything.
So... off to the races, my chickens. The sun has arrived, but the laundry is still waiting because it's 51 degrees outside! Too cold for my arthritic hands.
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR6
