WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2023

Phone call from my son last night. Frantic rearrangements because Edie's triathlon has been moved to the afternoon. DDIL has a school reunion! So, I am picking up Bea from her theatre school and taking her to art club! Involves buses, but it's OK. Then my son asked if one of us wanted to go with Max to the Open Air Theatre to see Twelfth Night tonight. We said no, because I don't like Open Air Theatre and DH wants to watch the football finals. Could we babysit the girls? We said no.
So this morning he rang again to see if DH could take Max to Twelfth Night this afternoon. I answered for him, NO. DH is feeling a bit overwhelmed with his daughter's problems and needs time off. Plus it's getting hot here! So, I'm glad I held strong. We do enough.
Waiting for info on where to pick Bea up.
Added - DDIL has just sent me a video of the pick up place.

Don't like open air theatre?
We like it but they don't often have it here. It's usually more casual and comfortable. Back in the day when I lived in Winnipeg, I would cycle in a particular park in the evenings where they often had various forms of open air theatre and I'd stop by for a while.

Good morning! It’s Saturday June 10 and I’m putting off walking my dog Lulu by posting on here! Not sure where I’ll end up, but this is a good start. The website I’m used to is shutting down, sigh. Hope everyone has a great day today!5

I'm on the list for several of her books from the library. Hope they are as good as the TV series.

Rainy and chilly SW WA State where I was putting a tarp over the chicken run at 6 am just as it started to rain. I started reading the Louise Penny books before "Three Pines" was on TV so I was acquainted with the characters already. I have read ten books in the series so far. I highly recommend that you start reading with the first book in the series "Still Life" and read them in order. The development of the characters and their relationships with each other has been very important to me in the stories of each of the books.

I hope you will come back, get to know us, join any topic that looks interesting, and share your journey with us. I walk my dog as soon as I get up, then eat my breakfast while reading this thread, then walk my dog again for a longer time. Barbie in NW WA 4

I'm sure that walking with headphones doesn't appeal to everyone. I usually suggest it to people who want to walk but keep waiting for a friend to walk with or who get bored and don't walk long. It's a great way to have company on a walk without waiting for someone else to be available. I walk at a time when almost no one else is out and traffic is rare. I walk for two hours every morning. What's fun for other people may not be fun for me and vice versa.

Back from picking up Bea. It is HOT.
DH has just taken her up to Art. How the kids find the energy I don't know. After Art she is going to a party!!!!
Now we can relax. I was awake in the night
DH has made some watercress soup for tomorrow lunch. I am cooking black pudding with butter fried apples tonight. One of my favourite things. 😍 Stewed plums for dessert.
My friend P's mother, 95, is very frail with oedema. Heart failure basically. She doesn't want to see the grandkids to say goodbye and said, "This process is very tedious." :laugh: We are supporting P, who has a very complicated relationship with her mother. A bit like Kim's, but not as bad. All four of us friends are similarly mother challenged!
Thinking of Edie and her triathlon in the heat!

Took a walk in the garden with dh this morning. Had fun watching mom & dad robins feeding the hatchlings. It was a pleasant beginning for the morning.

Good morning ladies!
Kim - I really, really enjoyed reading your reflections on regaining your house/time/meals without your Mom's input. Sounds like she must be doing OK on her own, hope she has continued good health.
Tracey and Mary on tire troubles - glad things were fixed in a relatively short period of time. Always a worry for me. I find myself taking the back road to town instead of getting on the freeway more, mostly because if I have a flat tire or any kind of car trouble, chances are someone I know or at least is in my neighborhood will stop by to see if they can help. There are county road vehicles on that road all day long. The thought of having to change a tire or a tow truck lining up on the freeway with semis and other traffic whipping by at 70 mph is unnerving.
Karen - I appreciated your comment that it's normal for us to gain some weight as we get older, and doing what we can to keep it in check, while might not our expectation, is a positive step - think of how it could be if we did nothing. Amen. I'm feeling the same way about exercise and strength. I complain I can't lift the things I used to when I'm lugging bags of soil or buckets of water around and I'm getting aches and pains, ankle gets cranky sometimes after I walk or do yardwork. BUT - what if I didn't do any of that? I'm never going to be 20 or even 50 again, tossing sheep and bales of hay around. I sit around more than I used to but still, any exercise I'm getting is beneficial, and not doing any is detrimental to my health.
Evey and Barbie - thank you for the advice on the Louise Penny books. I am on the library list - I'm 35th in line for Still Life, but there might be ten copies available so it might be ready for my kindle in a few days.
I started watching the Three Pines series before I even realized it was from the Louise Penny books. DH's mom was French Canadian, with a little native blood thrown in, and he would describe visiting aunts and uncles in rural Quebec. Many lived in poverty. Most were alcoholics. So, I really enjoyed seeing the countryside and terrain of that area, and I could almost hear him tell stories of his childhood and envision him and his family driving down similar roads. He pronouced Quebec "Kay-bec" or just "Kuh-BEC" with some French swear words thrown in from time to time.
Yesterday was odd for me. Overcast, rainy/drizzly. I thought a lot about how the chickens will fare this winter when we get weather like this for weeks. Thankfully, the tarp is doing a great job and I'll throw up a larger one this fall.
For the first time since DH passed, I felt isolated - not that I craved company. 2 farmers who were supposed to call me about hay never did. I emailed the auction guy early, told him it's a go and had another question regarding inventorying everything and never heard back. Messaged my doc early Thursday morning about my knee with what seems to be bursitis and should I come see her and get a prescription for PT perhaps or go directly to the ortho doc and go through their rigamarole. Not a peep from her.
But, I'm grateful nothing was critical. Auction guy - next week is OK- maybe he took yesterday off. Hay? I wasn't sure if it would work in the chicken run anyhow. And there are other sources. Knee? I decided to start back with light ankle weights and some leg exercises to see if that would work once again. Some soreness in both knees after that, but doing OK today.
The good news is, I'm heading out to see my good friend and check out her new chicken house. Life can't get much better than that.

People do have a way of not responding to emails and leaving others in the dark. Just about every day I am waiting for a reply from someone. Since Thursday afternoon I have been waiting on replies from at least 3 people.
I keep reminding myself that my questions are probably not the only things going on in their lives. But it does become a bit annoying at times.

Machka,
I am SO glad I don’t feel compelled to check email anymore. My work emails are defunct, thank goodness. Email is my least favorite way of communicating.
Now that I am retired, I let people know that I am not good at checking and responding to email so their expectations can be adjusted.
On the other hand, I am excellent at responding to texts and pretty good about phone messages.
I have never figured out a way to keep my email clutter under control, so it’s a huge chore for me to wade through it looking for a message that I care about.
My bad.

(((hugs))) to those who need them.
Heather, your ballerina is beautiful!
I'm just not a huge beach person. I LOVE the water, mind you. I just don't do "beaches". Like M said, I love the water, I love the smell, I love the sounds, I love being there. I just don't DO them. Mainly, I don't do hot and I don't do sun. I get overheated way too easily, so the mere energy it takes to drag a chair and umbrella to a beach so that I could sit, with my feet in the water, carefully shaded, completely exhausts me. Then there's getting all that stuff back to the car. Now, give me a zero-entry, beach-type pool in my backyard and I'm there daily, doing laps and then relaxing, watching my grands! And we have a large enough backyard for it. We just don't have the funds for it! LOL.
And I totally agree with you, Barbie! We love road trips. Most of the time it's just "up north" to Brainerd to one of "our spots" for a long weekend or more and then day trips out of there. We find winding roads and out of the way nooks. And we have to be near water.
I was just thinking the same thing, Carol...
Kim, thanks for the update. Glad you're getting things done around your house and getting back to normal. How are things going with Mom's PT and moving about her house? Is she behaving?

I finally got my car back yesterday after 10 days turned into 2 months to get my radio fixed! I went with a friend of mine and we had a blast. 2.5 hour drive each way and we talked the whole time! We also got to visit ‘Mars’ on our trip home. LOL
We went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch and splurged. A great day overall and much needed time away from the park for both of us.
I’ve been off and on reading here, skipping mostly. Lots going on, and I’ve been in a depressed mood again. Doc upped meds which I need to go get today. I hope they help. Being in pain doesn’t help anything either. Back spasms, arthritis in my neck back and shoulders, bursitis in my hips all have been acting up after being quiet for 5 years. This all brought on my colitis as well, so not feeling well on top of pain and depression. But I do try to log on here every day and skim. It is a great place for me.

☘️Terri
Terri - I never wore headphones when outside walking because I was scared of getting hit by a car that I couldn't hear coming. When I lived in a large city, I was afraid I wouldn't hear someone behind me who might do me harm. I did wear them in safe settings like inside a gym or at home. For me, the music I was listening to through the headphones was because I really hated exercise and wanted to be distracted by the music instead of feeling my body's aches and pains. It supplied rhythm that would drive my steps or movement, as well. I've only recently learned to exercise without it. Still transitioning, but being fully present has its joys as well as a few drawbacks.Machka: Glad to see you back and glad to hear that you're feeling some better.
Barbara: Lisa hate it when what’s supposed to heal you makes you feel sick. ((hugs))
Evie: Lisa, sorry to hear you had a bad reaction to the new meds, hope you can find an alternative! (other than no meds, that is)
Thank you so much for your kind comments! Boring medication stuff and TMI:I do find the ongoing search for something to alleviate my gut inflammation quite frustrating, but it demonstrates something I've said for years. Doctors don't know our specific body will reply, they just know the data on what ought to happen with a given medication. Individual bodies do not necessarily react the way their known data says they will.
This is the second drug in this same family of salicylates that has not been useful for me. TMI - but with the first one, the capsule contents of tiny white beads carrying the medication emerged exactly as they went in--didn't cause vertigo or dizziness, just didn't get absorbed by my body at all.
I am still a bit dizzy around the edges, but slowly feeling better each day as the medication wears off. Thank you for thinking of me.
Tracey - Thank you once more for the tip on the window washing kit--It's sitting there waiting for me to be up for the task of getting the windows done. I will, however, refrain from swanning around outside holding a metal pole during the lightning storm that's moving through...
Not completely doolally yet.
Corey's up and out to get his haircut and pick up a few things from the grocery.
Hope your Saturday's going/gone very well, and your Sunday is peaceful and lovely...
Love to all,

I enjoyed a walk with a friend on this warm morning. Now that I’m home I am enjoying the air-conditioner. It is plenty cool for now & I’ve turned it off for now. 😉 I’ll adjust it as needed. 🌹

I live near the coast. There are so many beaches to choose from, all with their own appeal. The West Coast of Ireland is our favourite place to visit because of the beaches.
It would never occur to me to wear headphones when out walking. I see so many people oblivious to the world around them.
Time for my Saturday trip to the local shops.
☘️Terri
Terri- I love your greeting to all of us. One of my aunts used to call us her little chickadees and it makes me smile. She was such a sweet little lady(little as in maybe 5', like me).
I need to google the west coast of Ireland to see the beaches there. I love the beaches on the west coast of U.S.
Woke up with hip and knee really hurting, then I moved a few cats and it felt better. It was twisted slightly and one of the cats laying on it. Hate to disturb them but had to. Got up and fed them and as soon as I started walking around, it felt better.
Hoping to get some time in the front yard to deadhead the roses again. Even if I get just an hour that will really make a difference. One of my roses I will need the step stool for. The plant is in a wine barrel but has gotten so big with long stemmed red roses. Some of them are almost to the eaves of the house. This is a rose I transplanted from the side of the driveway(dh kept complaining because he scratched his truck door when he would open the door. Dug it up the best I could, even using a chain saw to get part of it out. Didn't know if it would survive but it sure has and now gets more water so is thriving.
Have to go out shopping for MIL. She has started cooking again which is great but would be even better if she cooked something other than her pork shoulder,cut in pieces with daikon and carrots with soysauce and mirin. It is good but not so often. I am going to see if dh can suggest her making her hijiki salad again- that is really good. If not, I will have to make it.

Well now my sisters husbands kids want to just do video call to look at everything. I told my sister that on the one hand its good that my sister can control what they can see, but a lot of work for us to have done, opening and putting on tables only to scan around with a phone.
We have 5 folding tables up, filled with stuff and boxes underneath. We are able to use a huge dumpster that a neighbor rented to throw away stuff. First storage unit had some boxes with bags of grass seed that mice and rats found. So she had a breathing mask shoveling that all up. I stayed outside.
I had a pedicure yesterday, plus we went with a neighbor lady to a "high tea" place. I had a lovely BLT croissant with avocado, and chai tea.💖

Afternoon ladies
Im beat lol
Went for bloodwork early morning,then to pick up some playschool cats for Miles and then to Costco..
Bought some diapers and wipes a rotisserie chicken and a few odds and ends and gas.
Took my 2 laptops up to Carmines boyfriends house so that he can get important stuff off my old computer onto my newer laptop.he graduates the 15th from same school as Carmine with an IT certification so i trust him with my stuff..
But all that running around im in alot of pain...hips thighs ,hands ,feet everywhere hopefully someone can figure it out.
Tracy just told me the lady they went to see for daycare..will be taking Miles starting July 10th.. im gonna miss the little guy...hopefully they let me see him on the weekends and the afternoons8 -
Caught up on last two days.
Headphones-I'm not against using them. If I walk in the evenings or afternoon I typically listen to a podcast. I just decided not to use them for the morning walk-focusing on what is around me is part of my meditation start for the day. Luckily I live in a neighborhood where I feel safe. I also don't have the headphones that block out everything.
Lazy day today-went for walk, did laundry, set up appointments to tour two more communities (on June 19). It's nice to be in a position where you don't have to make a decision right away. If I have to go on a wait list after I have things firmed up, I can do that.
Have a wicked sore throat tonight. Was at doctor yesterday for check up and he said he believes it is a virus (doesn't look like strep). We decided to give it a couple of days. Hopefully will improve tomorrow. Going to pick up a couple of things around house and go to bed early.
Take care all,

today's update from Destiny's mom
Update: Destiny has good days and not so good days but her platelets are slowly going up. Her leg does still have a slow bleed and the pressure has ended up making her have a few blood blisters, which are slowly bleeding on the outside.
Good news she hasn’t had to have a blood transfusion since June 1.
Today. They did some decorating in her room to make it a little less hospital more home vibe.. could use. A little bit more but it is a start. She also has to pick a new make a wish, since she can’t travel unless we take her out of the hospital and out her on hospice. She said she was not going on hospice.
Someone sent her her favorite. Chocolate covered strawberries

Beaches....I loved the one in the Dominican and there were a couple in the Philippines. The sand was soft and cool in spite of the heat. East coast sand gets HOT! That has been my experience from Delaware down to Daytona Beach. I am a lake/pond lady . Not a fan of sand.
DH and I redefined beds in Kentucky and put out 28 bags of mulch so far. Need to get more. Yall are talking about rain and I am praying for it. The cows are going to need fed hay soon if it doesn't rain. The first hay cut just happened. That is really late.
Need to get a shower. More later.

Worked today then went to the HOA meeting/social. They had this pizza that was SOOOO good. I very rarely eat pizza but I had like 4 slices. The pres. Made it. Then went in the pool, will go to church in a few
Tracey – great design and I agree, Roger made it perfect
Rita – feel better fast. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. When it rains, it pours
The part for our grill FINALLY came in. I’m defrosting the meat right now. Maybe we’ll grill tomorrow. Jess was talking about coming here next weekend and going out to dinner. I’m thinking that assuming that there isn’t any problem with the grill (which is why we’ll try it first), I’ll suggest we instead grill
Ginny – hope you feel better fast and that nasty sore throat is gone
Tooth still tender. Before I was leaning towards extraction if it doesn’t get better but now I’m leaning toward a root canal. I just don’t know

Good evening ladies!
Tracey and Kim, thank you for thinking of me and my dad. I can't help him with projects though, it makes me even more angry. He can't hear, so if you tell him something he smiles and nods and then ignores you. He makes his plan and accepts no input. I've thought about taking some of the tools away, like the ladder and the pole saw, but I'm not ready for that confrontation.
Today I ate 1163 calories Yay! And I did twenty minutes on the bike and then my dumbbells, Yay!, for a deficit of 320. Yay! A good day.
It was a lazy day other than that. I need to go through my clutter, but I'm waiting for the perfect moment.
I love Louise Penny's books! They are excellent. I wish I had read them in order, but I just got them randomly from the library. Right now I'm reading Sara Paretsky about detective V. I. Warshawsky. Also a very talented writer.

Is Tracy going with the one lady she had the issue with or is it someone new?
I know you will miss him but you need some time for you. Just let her know that you are there as her back up any time she needs you. That is what I will be telling Ezie's mom the first of July. I will watch her for the summer but when she starts 1st grade, I won't be watching her every day. Not worth my time for just an hour or two a day. I will be her back up though.
For the pain, have you tried the Stopain spray? Was just talking to former hubby about it- he is ordering some to try(we use it all the time) and I found another that is 4%lidocane that is a bit cheaper so I ordered a two pack of it to try.
