That would be because I have kept it very quiet.
We're flying back to Hobart tomorrow morning after a month on holiday. 😀
I will tell you all more in a bit. Right now I need a nap because we've just had a 13-hour flight from Canada 🇨🇦
M in Oz ... or actually NZ for less than a day.8 -
oh machka - so happy to hear you got to go to canada! I know how much you missed your family. Can't wait to hear what you want to share.

Pip Hooray! We are all so proud of you!
Machka wow glad you got to travel! Let us know what you did.
I just got home from another visit with Mom. So dreary. We never seem to have much to discuss. And my dad just dozed off. She ate half the beans and none of the tuna I brought for her.
My handbells were delivered today. If that's not enough I can always get a pager or a monitor too.

🎉🥳😆😁 Pip yay! 😀
Happy for you Machka!
I picked all my potatoes grown in a pot! Got more than I expected! DH cooked some for dinner. Got about 4-5 meals out of the planting. More than I expected. Here’s a picture of my harvest.

Internet went down so no choice but to do PTBarbie ((hugs))
PT done, breakfast eaten, still no internet.
Hour grooming Tumble, still no internet.
Pouring down rain so no dog group, started load of laundry, still no internet.
Day more than half gone, only 2K steps, no internet means no YouTube Leslie Sansome. Dug out old Zumba DVD and walked to 5 songs Zumba to get to 4500 steps. Can NOT move my hips butt the way they do but walking at their pace gets HR up and sweating. Still no internet.
One game of Spider, one of Free Cell, still no internet. Repeat, still no internet.
Prep dressing for hot potato salad, tummy time, green salad prep.
Aha! Internet restored! Yay! Ate dinner, napped, Jeopardy and Zumba walked some more and now I’m back on line.
Time to snooze.
Later, lighter, lovelies!

November: Move more: chair yoga, line dance, dailyish PT, play with dogs.
Fuel better: less sugar, CI<CO, dailyish vitamins.
Live NOW: dailyish time with Joe, readings, start meditating. Open heart and mind before mouth.
2023: Be of good cheer.
I know what you mean about the zumba moves- there are times in class I just look at the teacher and say " WHAT??" there is a new one she is doing now and I try but can't seem to get it. When that happens, I just do my own version- do the best I can. I need to watch more videos and see if I can get it from them.
The extra hour sleep was nice. Cats are hanging out in our bed more and not so demanding of food early in the morning. The one that likes to pee on our bed is ready to eat so I get up quickly while he is in the catio and put food out before he has a chance to come pee in the bed before I get the pads back on. The other night, for a few minutes, we had 7 of the 9 in our bed- 6 stayed most of the night. Had to turn my little fan on because the ones next to me were putting out way too much heat for me. The kitten that was sick is doing great. Today is the last day of his meds- that makes 14 days on it- they wanted him on for 28 but that is too long- we will save the rest if we need it.
Son crawled under the house yesterday to adjust the supports on the beams- one was a bit loose so it would creak/pop when walked across- So glad he did it- dh was going to do it- was sure if he tired, I would be calling 911 to pull him out. There isn't much space, Son even said it was hard for him and he is thin. Didn't know he was going to do it yesterday but was willing so took advantage of it.
He was concerned about finding coons under there(thankfully, they have moved on for now.
Dh had to clear his closet out to get to the crawl space- while he had it cleared out-he is having me check ebay for prices on the toys that are in there- it is a small closet but totally full of old toys from the '70's and 80's, brand new. We will be taking them to the FanExpo in SF in a few weeks. Taking toys and the 3Dprinted stuff- He and his friend will do the show on Friday, I will go help on Saturday. He isn't looking forward to driving into the city but if the guys girlfriend goes, we will need to drive in on Sat.
Just hoping we make enough to cover the booth cost. Will be nice to clear out more of the old toys- Plus we have a bunch up in storage that we took when we did our first show. We plan on doing more. Most of these toys he didn't even remember buying and they are worth at least 10 times and some a LOT more from what he paid for them.
Overcast, chance of rain today so we are staying in(I went to church this morning)
Thinking of something warm and filling to make for dinner.
Need to debone some chicken thighs and also some salmon that I cooked yesterday- dh bought them mainly for the cats but there is enough for us and the cats
Have a wonderful Sunday ladies- need to try and catch up- a few pages behind.

Afternoon ladies
Another busy day for me..amazing ,got dishes done..the rest of the patio, fixed Miles carseat.. etc...

Ginny - thank you for that explanation. I knew it was somehow complicated. I wasn't aware of tenancy rights but now that you mentioned it, I have heard of long-time roomies creating a problem sometimes.
Betsy - That's too bad about your I-Pad. I make do with a Fire tablet, laptop, and dumb smartphone where I get a little data - enough to pull up the internet if I had to in a pinch, but mostly I access email and messenger on it and pull up Wunderground weather. Since most places have wi-fi, I can take the Fire tablet to town with me if there's a long term internet or even power outage and hook into Starbuck's or Walmart's from the parking lot where I can access more apps.
Barbara - our internet service has been troublesome lately. My next door neighbor can't even get the wi-fi to work on their TV. Sometimes the internet on her computer screen goes blank for a millisecond - mine does too. Must be a recurring burp somewhere in the fiber.
Machka - can't wait to hear more about your trip(s).
Pip & Kirby - congrats on your runs.
Rita - I am envious of your potato haul. Did you grow them in something like a 5 gallon bucket with potting soil? I think your mini garden did better than mine this year.
Heather - I'm in favor of people protesting whatever they want, but to hinder traffic and jeopardize public safety vehicles such as ambulances and fire trucks doesn't garner them much sympathy in my book. Your dinner sounded great. Hope you are feeling 100% better soon.
Made it to Walmart and back. Self check-outs are still open, they were closed the other day because of staffing shortages.
Grabbed some "shrink bags" to store extra towels and bedding. Need to really clean out the linen closet - some items I'll never use again and they'll get donated.

I can't move due to my dog sleeping on my foot. Feels warm and cuddly. Much better than doing laundry!

Thanks to all for the pats on the back, I’ll do the stats later, maybe even tomorrow5

Ok upstairs done, half of downstairs done. I move everything out of a room, upturn couches, dust all I see. Its exercise!
Got our little 2 ft tree. Its wonky, but husband likes it. He says it looks like the Charlie Brown tree😂. But I am pacing myself as its tiring!

Good Sunday,
The air is crisp and the sun is shining. I have picked up a few things and done a few odds and ends. Mainly off kilter as I have lost a battery pack for my vest that I also use to charge things when I am out and about. For months I carried it in my backpack or purse, but since getting my new phone, I have rarely needed it. I needed it last night and couldn't find it! So I straightened a few things and put put a few things away while looking for it this morning. All it has done is make me more stressed. Ugh! DH suggested that it might be in Kentucky or at work. I will check work tomorrow though don't have any idea where it would be there. We will be in Kentucky next weekend. In the meantime, I am taking a break!
The bonfire was nice. It is strange to me to be the old lady there though. When the bonfires were started by SIL and her DH, my girls were younger than nephew's kids now. I knew everyone and had a blast while the old folks came for a short while then left. Now I am that old folk!!!! I enjoyed talking with nephew and his wife and one or two people we know, but then lots showed up and I did a lot of fire and people watching. We came home at 10pm.
I asked my grands and kids for ideas for Christmas. Places they like to eat, shop, play, specific items, or ideas. My youngest grandson (15) was first to respond with a nice list of many options including a few specific ones. Next was youngest granddaughter (14), she too gave me a really nice list to choose from. Her mother (my oldest daughter) also followed the directions with a great list. Oldest grandson wants a specific bat that is personalized or money. I believe I am ordering him the bat which will be most of his budget. He has to design first though. Yes, he will know about it, but it is something he wants and will use. I haven't yet heard from youngest daughter or oldest granddaughter. Will reach out to them again today. It was so funny though that 3 of them had specific lists. My oldest daughter says she and youngest granddaughter keep a running list of wants at all times. LOL! I have just given money the past few years but really wanted something different this year. Teenagers and adults can be so hard to buy for!
I need to check home emails and pay some bills but first you ladies!
Pip You are in such great shape that I am sure you will do great! Cheering you on from Ohio! I am glad your MS items finally got to you! You and Machka especially are inspiring in the exercise department. Just saw that your time was better than you thought.
Heather It has to be hard that you can no longer exercise as you use to. I hope that you find releif soon. I will say that adding magnesium, potassium, and D3 seem to have helped me with muscle cramping.
Annie Yay!
mwalley67Welcome!
Rosemarie- Only 15 months? I feel like we have known you longer! You fit right in
Betsy I truly believe that all the manufacturers build in obsolescence in their products. I use a tablet when I am out and about and to play or read. Normally on laptop at home. I don't know about Mac or Apple, but windows is now app based so the transition is even easier between the two .
Rita That sucks! (mcc) I too use multiple mediums when coloring.
Machka WOW! So excited for you! Waiting to hear all about it!
Well, my plans always get laughed at....DH wanted me to run the mower to cut up leaves. He can't really see well enough to do it. So I spent 5 hours on mower cutting up leaves and grass. He blew out flower beds, cut down old plants, weedeated around the garage and house, and cleaned out gutters on awning.
Leftovers for dinner after a shower (there was grass where there shouldn't have been). Now finishing up with y'all before I head to man cave to spend some time with him.
More later!
Much love,
Kylia in Ohio where the yard looks pretty for now.5 -
Our Bronco back from the pinstriper. She is really now one of a kind.
Wanted to share.
Plus a little bonfire to warm you up!
