Good evening everyone. I’m trying to remember to come here and read the posts ever day. Looks like of you have made some great connections.

Looks like my husbands scan to confirm the metastasis is booking out until July 19. Let’s us enjoy our vacation before we get into planning his next treatment options.

Today was a busy one. Got groceries, folded laundry, cleaned the kitchen, learned how to use the grill 😀, helped my husband with his clothes for the trip (folded and sorted), then did my own, repotted a plant and read a book. I kept busy.

I hope you all had a great day.

LeeAnne-

Welcome! You sure have a lot going on in your life. So sorry to hear of your mom's passing and your husband's illness. In the past few years, many of us in this group are or have been through the challenges of caregiving for a spouse or other family member. And mostly, it's just dealing with it one day at a time. And keeping busy helps a lot too!

In your previous post, you mentioned your weight had gone up and down by quite a bit in the past few years. What strategy do you think was most successful when you lost?

Your vacation sounds great. I hope you both enjoy yourselves! And tell us about fun things you did and saw if you wish to share.

Pop in here when you can, there's a lot of great support.

Finally got to bed after an hour and a half of waiting. Poor DH was out of it. I had misread the instructions that said put your watch forward and did it a day too early. Oops. We ended up in the gym at 5.45, but only realised it when our breakfast was late arriving and we rang room service. So, a very, very short night.
The gym did us good and the watercolour class helped as well. Before lunch I did linedancing. This afternoon is Salsa. Then a much needed nap. We are going to catch up with the lectures on the TV in the room. First stop, Kristiansund, on Thursday. Wednesday night is formal night.
Tonight we are going to the Nepalese restaurant, and our bottle of Tattinger is following us.

Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxx

Good morning, afternoon or evening, as the case may be... welcome to those who are new, we're glad you're here!

Kind of off balance this morning in terms of my own routine, such as it is, because Corey's off again today, but enjoying watching him enjoy four days off with no plans, no pressures, he can just wander around with Egg (the cat).

Speaking of which, she would NOT stop crying outside the door to the bedroom this morning, which has become unusual. We banned her from the bedroom after she drove us around the bend jumping all over the bed a couple nights in a row at 1 a.m., and she adjusted pretty quickly to that. But this morning, after three days in a row of getting to lay on Corey's lap while he's done his two- or three-hour read of the entire internet, she wanted to know what was up, and was getting louder and louder. Took her another five minutes to stop crying after I let her in there... and then she was OK, went on about her business. Weirdo.

He just got up and is making his first cup of coffee, said he knew she was there and trying to wake him up, but he just played dead until she went away. Now that he's up, I can make noise... whee!

Later, y'all,
Much love,
Lisa in AR

Salsa was very fast and sweaty. DH had to drop out - too much spinning. I had a good partner who must have been well over 80, but could dance!
Just discovered there is a choir starting at 4.30. DH is happy to go, so we'll try it out. Couldn't do choir on cruises before because it clashed with lunch. :laugh:
