Just popping in to wish Kylia’s followup tomorrow is clear, good and painless.
Heather what Leslie said to you and you to Machka, and what Edie said about having two GrandDads. That Johnny, he is a gem.
Machka those birds have an intimidating look. Rhody is one smart cat.

Just finished watching a film called 'Finding Vivian Maier' on Amazon Prime. I sooooo enjoyed it. It’s a documentary about a reclusive nanny who obsessively took photos all her life. She hoarded them all and they were discovered after she died. Amazing! The Emily Dickenson of photography.
Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Happy Sunday, Ladies!
Pip - Happy Birthday to Kirby! From another Hoosier
Leslie - If you want to share photos of your silversmithing, you know we'd love to see them! Glad Pumpkin returned. Thanks for sharing all the photos of your fur babies.
Just finished partially dismantling DH's gaming computer he had in his office. I figured out where the hard drives were and with some help with the short phillips head screwdriver, gained access to them. Had to cut thru some wire harnesses but managed to pull out the whole data housing. Will take the rest of the CPU to recycle and the hard drives have been smashed up and put into garbage.
I'm waiting for the dandelions in the ditch to show their little yellow head so I can go after them with the weed eater. Whacked a bunch of them yesterday, and my hand was getting numb by the time the battery ran out. Today the plan is to wear a wrist brace and try to get the patch conquered in under ten minutes.
Walked down the street yesterday to see how my walking buddy was doing after her knee replacement. She was able to get around with her walker and was pretty busy doing lots of different stretches, elevation, icing, etc. I told her I'd pop down this afternoon for a little bit, but don't plan to stop every day. I was only going to stay half an hour, but she talked me into staying longer so her husband could go hop on the mower. He told me as I was leaving that wasn't necessary, she's in good enough shape that she can be left for half an hour. I'll stay with her Wednesday morning a couple hours while he goes to the dentist.
She's been quite active in her church and I hope she gets plenty of visits from the "church ladies" to keep her occupied.
Gosh I love my time alone, doing whatever pops into my mind whenever without planning around someone else's schedule for meal preparation, activities of daily living. I used to think DH's desire to not be around people was the reason I didn't didn't interact much with others, but I'm seeing it was me as well. I've gotten three invitations to lunch and/or BBQ's this past week. I've agreed to the lunch with a former co-worker who is retiring, but will skip the BBQ's. Too many people. Draining, busy. I never have enjoyed them.
Heather- I will look for that documentary on Prime. They have some fascinating stuff.
OK better scoot. Welcome new and returning gals!
Have a fabulous day!

Many times I have wished I could talk to someone ALL about my husband's accident. I've told people little snippets here and there. Quick summaries. On FB, I've posted applicable memes now and then. But I've never sat down with someone and poured my heart out. I've never told anyone all about my husband's accident.
The 4th choice above is: "talk it out - speak to someone you trust about how you are feeling". I have not been able to do that over the past 4+ years and I'm not sure I ever will. By this point, I'm not sure how beneficial it would be. I don't know that it would change anything or help anything.
Meanwhile, today, I have more or less focused on the 1st choice ... things I am grateful for and things in my control. I've slept - for which I am very grateful. I'm comfortably watching the Tour de France - which I enjoy. And I've tidied half the house and have gotten a few things done - things in my control.

One thing my psych asked me is do I have a support network. Really made me think. I found 2 people and this group after really thinking about it. The 2 people are long distance and need to be by phone or other electronic means. I have a potential third but not sure I can confide in them yet. I have been using an app on my iPhone called “MoodLinks “ which is helping me daily work out my thoughts and feelings. Not many people use it but I love it and was able to share it with my psychiatrist. Please reach out to one of us or a friend. It will help tremendously to let it all out.

Welcome! You joined by posting! Don’t forget to bookmark us to find us easily. Read back a couple pages for different ways to bookmark and find us again.
Here is another way to get to us without going through the MFP app. Allows you to post pics easier too. Just go to this link and put it on your desktop, phone home page, or tablet main page: “ https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10868254/women-ages-50-for-july2022/p23”. Not sure if this is the correct one. I accidentally deleted my link when copying this. I’ll try to find it again and post the correct link.

all that walking this past week- 88,781 steps and I gained back the pound I lost last week.
I haven't had that many steps in a week ever. 15 straight days of 10K or more. Will do it again tonight- walking the wetlands with my friend(may or may not walk MIL's dog- if I skip it, it will only be the second time in a full month- it is a month today since she fell and broke the bones in her hand and wrist and Tues is a month since the broken ribs and UTI diagnoses.
I haven't been tracking my food which I need to start doing again. I didn't think I was eating that much more, especially beings I am here alone most evenings. But, have been snacking more- justifying it by how many steps I had for the day.
148.2 today
Goal is 125-128.
Need to get back on track.
Heading for church- first time in a month then home to cook here at home. Will be nice to just be home and not running errands with DH or sitting at MIL's house for hours while she either eats, sleeps or complains.
Have a wonderful Sunday Ladies

So dealt with an upset tummy all night, and not going to play tennis today. Oh boo. Last night was fajita meat in tortillas, and they didn't sit well I guess. Waiting until I feel hungry today, then have chicken broth to see how I feel.
Fun city.

Katla ... reposting for you. I am so sorry you and your husband are dealing with a separation while your husband recovers. Having observed both my parents over the last few months while they have been in skilled nursing (separately and at different times), I would encourage you to remain in contact as best you can. Leave an iPad or cell phone with your husband so he can "FaceTime" or speak with you often. I am sure your children or grandchildren can help you set this up. A huge part of my parents' healing came from staying connected with each other. I continue to pray for you both

Good afternoon ladies:
Have had a peaceful weekend. Yesterday was 7th anniversary of DH passing. Didn't get overly sad this year. Went for walks, cleaned house, bought a new iPad, working on setting it up. Should have spent time on some stuff for work tomorrow but had no ambition-it can wait until tomorrow. Will be doing dinner zoom with friends tonight (we switched from our standard Friday).
Katla-keeping you in prayers. Please let your children help take care of you. I know it would be hard to be separated from DH-but it you move now you can get things ready for him in a way only you can.
Pip-happy birthday to Kirby!
Debbie-hope your Sunday remained peaceful.
Allie-I got the same image in my mind when I read Michelle's message about exercise! Of course, when I look at what some people do wear in public, some of my bras and underwear cover more! So, if pajamas can be public wear, who knows what is next!
So, even though I am not doing any work work, I will go get things ready for tomorrow so I can go in a bit early (30 minutes can make all the difference!). Since I got my hair cut short, I may just wash it before dinner and let it dry and then I can take that off the get ready list. Also need to pack my lunch for tomorrow. My eating was not stellar this weekend so back on it tomorrow.
Welcome to the new ladies.
Take care all,

Gayle ... welcome back!
Lisa ... "Monkey Brain" ... just makes me laugh!
Heather ... resting is when our bodies can focus on healing ...
Kay ... yes, yes we can find addresses ... A new scale just arrived on my doorstep today and has the ability to interface with the watch and MFP. I won't be doing all of that, but my son plans to use it.
Kelly ... I don't believe they have scales that become abusive yet...
Pip ... those are nice photos of you and Kirby!
My husband and I have had multiple social events the last few days and I am proud to say that we have both done really well with his new diabetic guidelines. AND, we're both losing weight! It's taking a lot of planning, but he's onboard 100% and I've hopped on to support him. He showed me his plate yesterday at a graduation party that had the normal summer offerings and it was all vegetables and then some of the protein choices without the usual buns!
Anyways, that's all I can remember. Hope you have all had a great weekend.

Do you like ginger?
I have a lot of trouble with my stomach so I eat ginger chews or drink ginger honey tea. It helps really fast plus I love the taste of it3
