Was going to exercise yesterday, but Vince got up early so I decided I’d like to leave as soon as possible so I gave up exercising. We got here about 5:30. Not sure why we got here so early. When we made one stop I experienced explosive diarrhea (sorry if TMI). My stomach just felt “yuk” so Vince stopped for lunch but I went on. Felt better so had a sub when we got here. I’ve been wanting to try this place. Haven’t been there in years.
Uneventful driving, which is good. Weather was great.
Did a Kelly Coffee Meyer DVD today. The plan is to do a Jari Love DVD tomorrow. Spent most of the day today going food shopping, went to WalMart and Aldi. Also went to the women’s lunch, just had a grilled chicken quesadilla.
Ahhhh...it feels so good to be wearing shorts. Now I only hope I can continue wearing them when I get back to NC
Betsy – have a wonderful, fantastic cruise
Marie – welcome! Didn’t Rori have a broken toe? If I’m right...what is it with Colorado????? lol I’m trying but it’s not working too well improving the balance. Not so on the strength, tho. The biphosonates just never really worked for me and right now I’m taking Prolia which seems to be working. I’m guessing it’s because the biphosonates have to go thru the digestive tract before getting into the bloodstream where as the Prolia goes in immediately. Whatever the reason I’m just glad it’s working. As a matter of fact, at one point it was working so well that I had osteopenia and insurance wouldn’t pay for the Prolia. I had to go on a biphosonate, but same thing….didn’t work. So I’m back on the Prolia
Carol – when I have a colonoscopy, I usually get the results immediately.
Pip – you...take it easy at the gym???…. Does that exist?

Everyone thank you so much for all your good wishes. I’m so beyond excited. I’ve been reading everything I can about the Panama Canal. I’ll come back with tales and I’ll think of all of you as I cruise. Wish I could express what you gals mean to me. I don’t have the words. Hugs around!!

I had a nice time watching old westerns with DH. He is tucked in bed & I’m in my place watching veterinarian shows. 😊4

Rosemarie, It warms my heart that the photos of Lilly and Rory delighted your husband. I don’t know if I remembered to tell you that my paternal grandfather had ALS. He died when I was 15 or 16. He was such a good man.
Margaret, Oh my gosh, I’m sorry you were injured! But so glad for you nothing is broken.

I went to brunch with my son on Sunday. It was so loud in the restaurant I couldn’t hear everything he said. He asked me about the divorce, then tried to shush me when I told him his dad and I had talked, and both agreed on certain points, namely that my ex didn’t want to be married to me, a fact I didn’t discover until 8 years later when we were in therapy. I did manage to tell him that the bottom line was that I didn’t feel loved, and I finally couldn’t take it anymore. My contribution to the conversation was about 3 sentences. My son talked the rest of the time, and I couldn’t hear much of what he said. I was exhausted when I got home. He did say we needed to talk more, so hopefully we will have a chance to have a more satisfying conversation later. I won’t hold my breath.

I’m reading 2 books; A Complaint Free World, and The Book of Longings. Just getting started in both.

Only if you're interested in doing something like this as we go along ...

Exercising the Alphabet in February
In other words, on February 1, you'd walk to a street that starts with A or do an exercise video hosted by someone whose name starts with A or something ... A.
On February 2, you'd go swimming at a Beach or play a game of Baseball or something ... B.
On February 3, you'd go Cycling or Climb some stairs or something ... C.
and so on.
There are, of course, 26 letters in the alphabet and 28 days in February, so you'd have 2 free days if you didn't exercise those days or couldn't fit in the next letter of the alphabet.I have listed several January highlights so that meets the calendar suggestion for February 1...
And I walked to the Asian "dollar store" next to the Asian grocers and bought Art supplies at lunch today. That'll be my A.
Put myself in someone else's shoes --- I've been treating my difficult work colleague with kindness by talking to her about her son, complimenting her skirt, talking quietly and gently to her and so on.
And today, I walked to Bathurst Street to Buy some Books. I also climbed stairs in my Building.
Watch a movie that reminds me of kindness --- probably not tonight!
C is for Climbing and walking on Collins St!
Take a picture of three things that make you happy --
D is for exercising Downstairs!
Rowing - 16 minutes
Walking - 38 minutes
Weights - 10 minutes
Be kind to yourself -- Sleep, gardening and cycling!
E is for Exercising!
Plus we cycled on Endeavour Ave and the Esplanade.
Start a conversation with someone new --- I'm not the sort to strike up random conversations, or conversations at all. But I did chat with a person I met recently and one I haven't seen in a few months today.
And ... F!
Consider a current struggle. Write down two thoughts that bring you comfort.
Hmmm ... A current struggle, like only one? Let's go with waiting. I feel like I spend most of my life waiting.
And a walk to the botanical Gardens through the rose Garden!
Consider and celebrate diversity! Does that include people who look at things completely differently than you do? If so ... woohoo! I've had that opportunity today!
H is for Hobart - walking around. And Hanging clothes outside.
Identify a role model who embodies perseverance and find 2 ways to emulate them.
Well, I don't have role models ... and I've persevered as much or possibly even more than many people I know.
However, today was brought to you by the letter I. I did walk by and around IMAS (Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies).
Check an item off your to do list this weekend!
YES! I tidied a shelf in the kitchen. I've been meaning to do that for months but finally did it today. There was a large quantity of rubbish on that shelf ... more than I thought. So, much of the cleaning process was just throwing things out.
I've also been dusting our entertainment unit and all the stuff on it.
And I went outside and tidied the area right in front of our front door which involved moving a whole bunch of pots and other garden things to a different location and then sweeping out a year's worth of leaves and stuff. I climbed up and down and up and down stairs doing that.
This evening I made an attempt at digging the area I want to plant things next to my dry stream. I got a new spade which is great, but even so, there are so many roots, I'll need to use something else to break it up.
Just getting rid of Junk and Jabbing the Soil
Make twice as much for dinner and either invite guests or deliver a meal to a friend ...
We're actually doing that sort of dinner thing on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, all my exercise was in K ... Kingborough today!
Cycling:
Heaving a heavy mattock in the garden:
And walking our Kitty, Rhody.
Make a list for the week ahead so you stay focused.
I have one massive ongoing things to do list with the most urgent things at the top.
L
Walking exercised my Legs.
Gardening exercised all my Limbs!
Consider a recent disagreement. Did you extend forgiveness?
Yes.
I don't like being at odds with people.
M
Meandering around Bunnings.
Moving the Mattock.
Express creativity! I finished another version of my Project Plan!! That's as creative as I had a chance to be today.
N = Nowhere
I walked the stairs to nowhere and the road to nowhere.
If you are in line today, let someone go ahead of you. I do every now and then.
O - walking Rhody near home.
The next time someone does something you appreciate, let them know. I did today!
P - Perusing the shops today while it rained outside and Purchasing a few things.

Bea came on her own because Edie is just getting over her vomiting bug. My son had it really badly.
I painted two cards to give my friends next week in London. They will both be 74.
Bea decided she wanted to make a dog out of cardboard and seemed to have a plan. It turned out really well. DH had to do most of the cutting as it was thick cardboard, but she designed it all.
He is called Snuffles.
Poor DH didn't get to paint anything, so he is going to have a go this afternoon.
Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxx

I had a few minutes while Bea was finishing up, so I had a quick try with my new darker blue paper. Was difficult to get any colours to work, but metallic felt tips cheered it up.
I think i will give it to my DDIL next month.
Really tired now, as I had a very interrupted night. A nap is in my future, after rowing.
Love Heather UK xxxxxx

Right side now 85% better after my fall on Monday. The Arnica brought the swelling down fast. I also think it helped that my Vit D levels are on the higher end now. The prescription worked.6

Margaret ... sorry to hear you fell on the ice! Prayers for continued healing.
Karen ... What a difficult setting to have a conversation with your son. It doesn't seem as though he really wanted to "hear" you.
Pants ... while I love athletic wear, I force myself to wear jeans through most of my week. Keeps me honest with how much I'm eating. Too easy for elastic to keep stretching ....
Finally got my mom's custom made hearing aids. They are helping her immensely when inserted correctly. Unfortunately, her wrist break has significantly affected her manual dexterity and she needs to rely on her personal care aides to put the hearing aids in. Do you think they can do that even with photos I've taken of my mother with the hearing aides inserted?
I am finally moving forward with a cochlear implant. Had the testing yesterday and waiting for an appointment with the specialist to discuss the process and whether it will actually help me. Absolutely detest hearing tests ... aggravates my tinnitus to unbearable levels. Hoping today my ears will recover.
I've been eating too much. Need to get back to higher quality/ smaller portions.

Karen ~ Sorry the conversation with son ended up in him talking over you! Hope you will be able to have a more satisfying oe at some point.
Michele ~ Glad you got to Fla. safely. Did you and your husband take two cars? I ask because you said he stopped to eat and you went on. For my husband's colon test they found a polyp about 2 cm and had to send it off to be tested for possible cancer (praying that this is not what they find).
Heather ~ It looks like y'all have a wonderful set up for crafts. So glad your husband enjoys it with you as well as the children.
Beth ~ I hope you will get good news about improving your hearing. Glad you got the new hearing devices for your mom and maybe the Aids will get them in correctly.
Gray gloomy day here and possible storms coming!
Prayers and Good Wishes to All!

Good morning ladies!
Today is shopping day after I have an X-Ray done on hands. I want to hopefully find rice paper sheets and want to create a shrimp, avocado, cucumber rice roll. I like the fact that after you moisten the rice paper it becomes see through, so you can see all the stuff in your roll. Thought it was pretty in the recipe.

Heather Wow! Bea’s Snuffles is awesome for a child her age to design! How old is she again? I wouldn’t be able to design anything like that! Not talented in that type of art work at all. I am not good at designing. I’ve never been able to decorate my house properly or make something by sewing machine without a pattern/ Same with knitting or crocheting. That child puts me to shame! LOL
