Good news from Renal doc. He went over my bloodwork for the last 9 months (I’m anal about keeping health reports) and was excited I had that much info for him. After reviewing all the bloodwork and other results he complained that my PC didn’t tell me I had CKD earlier but said that it can be reversed at my level of bloodwork. He said I had something that involved my kidneys not processing acids properly (metabolic acidosis). Put me on a low phosphorus diet and in 3 months, once he reviews my bloodwork and ultrasound again, will put me on Farxiga, a medication to control my glucose, blood pressure, and kidney issues. I told him I looked up the kidney diet from the kidney.org website and started working on that. He said that he was impressed with that and I did the right thing because it moved me from level 3B to 3A which is going in the right direction. The first time I left the doctors with a smile! LOL I go back in 3 months.
Today is a day for bird watching and Keto eating (which I now have to modify for less protein).

Simone my reading goal for last year was 12 books. I read 52!😳 This year my goal is 20 but have already finished 2 that I had started last year (lol!). I read just about anything. I belong to Prime First Reads and get 1 book a month free (sometimes more like this month) and pick books by their name and cover, so I’ve gotten mystery, romance (I don’t particularly like these- all the same really) Sci-Fi, horror (Think Stephen King), thrillers (think Koontz) biographies, almost anything! Do you belong to the Goodread app? They have book giveaways that authors do, both Kindle and Hardcover. Last year I won 3 Kindle and 1 hardcover from them. I believe it is good to read all sorts of stuff to widen my horizons! LOL Friend me on here (kevrit) with and I will tell you how to friend me and we can compete reading!
Anyone else interested in free books and a book challenge? Just PM me and we can all connect!

Pip-hope all is well with Kirby. Where is the pain?
Michele-I switched to Corelle ware a couple of years ago. I like it quite well. I have service for 8 which I really don't need that much any more. As part of kitchen declutter may donate half to Goodwill. If I am ever feeding more people than that I can buy some sort of disposable for the occasion.
[spoilerWoke up early this am. Foot is a bit irritated but I go to PT at 8 so will try to evaluate. Pretty well isolated to one spot-quite the mystery to be solved but making progress.
Since I'm up going to start work day since I need to take time for pt. Plan to stop at store on way home from there (very close to Meijer's) so I have shopping out of way. They are saying we may get an inch or so of snow tomorrow. Figure I can just be set to make some soup and not run around much over weekend.[/spoiler]
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio
Living and traveling the first year, in the RV we started with paper plates then found heavy microwaveable plastic and used those for the last 4 years. We found we had to replace them often because of knife marks, fork marks and they would suck in oils so hard to clean. This past Christmas I decided that we weren’t moving around so much so I wanted to go back to Corelle. I got us a set for 4 and am happy to be using those. I always had Corelle when I was in a house so already knew how strong they were and much easier to clean the oils and stains off!

Could be salt. I know for me that when I eat things with salt, I gain water weight. I now need to avoid salt so will see how my day-to-day weight changes. I only log my weight on Mondays because of those fluctuations, but I do weigh every day to try to figure out where the ‘water weight’ came from on the last day. I also know that a change in activity will cause me to gain water weight, and now I have CKD (Kidney disease) which also causes water weight, so working on finding what i already eat that I can adjust to meet the guidelines to help my BP, CKD, and glucose readings.

Pip--I hope Kirby is ok.
Allie--I remember before Miles was born all they had to do to get pregnet. Doesn't seem like he should be 2 years old already.
I have been feeling really off lately. Not sure what is going on. I go see my heart doctor this afternoon, it is for my yearly check and last month I have been having spells when I am just sitting or sleeping and wakes me up where my apple watch says my heart rate is 174-195. It doesn't last long, but something is going on. I am also so tired all the time.
Have a good weekend ladies and lets take it One Day at a Time.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE where they are talking about freezing rain and snow the next couple days.

Rita - I’m in interested to see what crafts you do this year. I have so many ideas in my head for crafts that I end up not doing any.
I hope you get good news at the doctor.
One craft I think I’ll do this year and may work on this winter is tree skirts for my girls. Their stockings are old and the original ones I made when they were small. They have both said they didn’t want new ones though. They have both said they would like new tree skirts. I’ve never tried one, but I have a tonne of sequins and beads to use up. I may also make advent calendars for the Grands.
Kylia - I have heard that about walking backwards. I was doing a lot of the Leslie Sansone videos and she does the walking backwards.
I hope DH takes heed, as my grandmother used to say.
Heather and Rebecca - good job on getting rid of things.
I have to wait until the weekend for my next session as my garbage bin is near full and I need to put my regular garbage out. I did get rid of a shel today though.
Rebecca - that gift looks like so much fun!
Karen - happy New Year to you as well.
Lisa - how exciting to have your girl home. It will be nice just the three of you I bet. I actually like taking my daughter away without the Grands once in a while. It’s a different visit.
Sue - I have watched a couple of episode of Unsellable Houses now. They look like they are fun to work with.
Sorry about your septic and dryer. My brother told me he bought my SIL a new dryer for Christmas as they were afraid of fire with theirs. He said they discussed it and that’s what she wanted, he wasn’t taking chances in ticking her up for.
Lanette - I’m going to have to have a look at Dr. Matt.
You said you want to eat a meal that is so satisfying you don’t want to snack an hour later. I think this may be one of my big problems. I haven’t wanted anything but snacks in a long time. I truly dislike cooking and I keep just making quick and easy junk instead of putting time and effort in. I need to get more use out of my crockpot and air fryer.
Kelly - I bought the splint thing that Allie mentioned for plantar fasciitis and it seems to be helping. My only suggestion if you buy one is not to get one that covers your toes. My toes keep getting painful and cramped during the night and I have to take it off. I may order another one next pay. I also started wearing my Birkenstock knock-offs in the house and put arch supports in my slippers. I have been wanting to cry because my feet hurt so bad and these things have made a difference not 100% but more tolerable.
Evelyn - our weather is so strange. I see there were fire bans in some areas of AB a couple weeks ago along with water restrictions. I also do a couple days ago that there are fiddleheads starting in the East Coast.
Ginny & Michele - I love Corelle, I have had three sets over the years. One set I gave to my SIL when we moved to AB, the second set I gave to a friend when I decided to go to stoneware. I really missed the light weight and small storage required so 3 years ago asked for another 2 sets for Christmas. I think these will be my final dishes. I have a set for 12.
Lanette - I use a weather app called WTForecast. The language is a bit much, it’s as accurate as any I’ve found they just make it funny.
My DH used to use the leaf blower to clear snow, it worked well most of the time.
Linda - when I was actively losing I weighed daily and did an average over the seven days. It helped me to stay encouraged because almost always as long as I was logging and tracking there was a loss. If I had gone by the day to day I wouldn’t have believed it.
I actually started tracking and averaging again, I need to get back in shape.
Beth - I have been eating from the pantry as well. I see there are still some things that are about to expire that I won’t eat and DH is turning his nose at. I may put them on our Freebie site so someone can use them.
I hope your Mom is able to return to her home.
Heather - you have had a productive day.
Your bladder information was interesting to me. I have been having issues and need to figure out how to fix them. My doctor has retired and was not very helpful in that regard.
I am thinking of going to buy another big canvas today to paint a landscape scene. I also am trying to find a handyman that will come mud our drywall so that I am able to paint. I am starting to feel like too many things need doing and DH is showing no interest in helping. I think I could do the mudding myself, but I don’t think I would do a well enough job. The wall is very straight and I have to walk up and down it several times a day any imperfections would be easily noticeable and would irritate me.
Pip - I hope Kirby continues to listen to you.
Rita - great news from the doctor!
I love the book idea, I am too fussy of a reader to have books just sent to me though. My Grandmother used to do the Doubleday book club and she always was able to find what I liked at the same time as pushing me out of my comfort zone. She for years used them for gifts for DH and I.
Vicki - I hope you find some answers at the doctor.
I have been typing this since Wednesday I think. I had a project due for school that took up most of my day the last couple of days. Today I had a mini quiz and was given another assignment due Monday.
I am expecting my next student loan payment to come today. I am going to hopefully purchase a new sofa this weekend. I really hope to rearrange the living room.
I should get off here and do something. I’m not sure what yet.

I need to make a shopping list of things I need, like a crafters cutting board, exacto knives, my sewing kitt, new craft scissors, and glues. Right now the kit is just sitting on the kitchen table making Japanese ooglely eyes at me.

Tracey - He explained that after the first urge at one third full, the urge will go away. I have since then been holding on until I'm really bursting. It has made a huge difference to my life. I used to take 'just in case' wees all the time. Remember to do pelvic floor squeezes whenever you can.

Debbie My DH has same issues as yours health wise. He is great at walking though and hates to sit still. Prefers to walk if there is a destination though. He rarely has found a burger he won't eat. Good thing he has me.

Make the BEST choice you can at the moment you are in.
Hugs!
Healing thoughts!
Stay safe!

Dh loves to sit and watch tv- that is his favorite thing to do. All of his hobbies have him sitting down pretty much.
As for food- Dh likes burgers but LOVES Chinese takeout the best. Likes Taco Bell, Church's Chicken, Pho. pizza, Mexican place,etc- pretty much all food. The bad part is that he is picking up food for his mom twice a day plus getting his own food when he is out.
He would be thrilled if he just had rice and meat, skip the veggies. He eats WAY too many carbs and fried food.

Stat for the day-
Walk w/family- pushed chispas in buggy- 2hrs 1min 58sec, 85elev, 3.05ap, 90ahr, 114mhr, 6.30mi= 642c
Strava app= 772c
Didn’t spin or go to the gym. I have to get my California drivers license this year (exp. 2025). I have all the information from my previous marriages (married 4 times) except for husband #1 so I am tackling that. The county couldn’t find my marriage certificate but I was able to get my divorce paper. Hopefully that will be enough to get a license since it has my original name. Moral of the story, don’t get married multiple times!
You need all of that to get a driver's license? That's annoying.
Tina in CA
Yup, my name has changed 4 times. They need a paper trail on how I came from my birth name to the name I have now. That’s means marriage and divorce certificates (they can’t be copies, have to be certified) and a death certificate (3rd husband died)4 -
Stats for the day-
Walk w/chispa- 10.10min, .46mi= 53c
Strava app = 57c
Walk w/yogi and Lucy- 2hrs 6min 54sec, 113elev, 2.95ap, 83ahr, 105mhr, 6.27mi= 629c
Strava app = 768c
Can’t walk as fast as I would like w/lucy, she’s a slow walker :0(3 -
Vicki - crossing fingers the heart doctor can help you.
Beth - glad to hear your mom has recovered so well.
Heather - thank you for that tip about "holding it." I need to practice doing that.
Pip- good idea Kirby laying off walking for a few days. Did the ER doc give any diagnosis?
Rita - doing the happy dance for your good news at your kidney appointment.
Tracey - Thanks for letting me know Rodger's success with using the leaf blower on snow. Think I'll bring it in the house and will have shovels ready too. Hopefully if I'm overprepared we'll just get a dusting of snow.
I finally was able to get my wedding ring off this morning. Several years ago it "cracked" - there was a split that would sometimes pinch my skin if I caught the ring on something and it expanded a teeny bit. I had a bad "pinch" last week. Since I've been grasping weights a lot more, my fingers are larger and the ring used to slip off easily, but not any more. Until this morning. I guess my hands were cold enough that I was able to gradually twist it off.
I have some other rings that are a smidge larger I can wear if I think I need to wear one. I like having the option depending on what hunk I enounter at the feed store, lol.

My source for all the free books I could possibly want is the public library. I just found my library reading history for 2023 and there were 123 books listed. The list includes books, e books, and audio books. Some of the books might be ones I didn't like and and didn't finish but not many of them. It doesn't include books I got through paperback swap that cost me some postage a membership fee. The great thing is that they were all books that I chose Jake is safely home from the cancer doctor who says he's doing great and will have more blood tests and another visit in six months Barbie in NW WA 💖 6 -

Welcome to all the newbies. A special hello to Kay from another Kay. I’m usually too lazy to sign my name to my posts, so thought I’d let you know.
I’ve got the sniffles - nothing too bad, just enough to be annoying.
Take care,

Holding Urine Discussion ... Just some more information to add to the discussion ... while most medical professionals say it's ok to hold your urine every once in a while, doing so frequently may increase the likelihood of UTIs. And, in the event of an accident in a vehicle, a seatbelt near a full bladder can cause the bladder to rupture and flood the body cavity with urine ... a serious condition.9

After work went to the soup kitchen then WalMart. Home and helped Vince take in more of the decorations. Jess came tonight to pick up Shadow, so I ran (drove) to Food Lion to get Vince bananas (they are cheaper there than at WalMart … at least for now) and rigatoni for dinner. Thank goodness I had some ground beef in the freezer and mozzarella cheese
A guy I work with at BK used to work at the soup kitchen. He came in this afternoon and told me that the grill went down. I feel sorry for the store manager. I would guess that the store was built in the 60’s so things are breaking down. Since I’ve been there, the roof had a leak, they needed a new hot water heater, the fryer went, now the grill, this thing that I use to hold the plates for chopping the veges broke so I have to work around it. There are probably other things, too
pip – sending health vibes to Kirby
Lanette – I’ve had my Corelleware since before we were married, and in October we’ll be married 47 years. My pattern has been discontinued for quite some time
Allie – when I had a sty, it was recommended to put a warm compress on it. But what I did was take an old sock and fill it with rice and microwave that. During the winter I didn’t want to have something on me that was wet. Also, I think the rice stayed warm longer than a wet washrag YOU can’t believe sMiles is 2 already! Love all the pics of his party
Annie – healing thoughts being sent your way
mysoulis skinny – (((HUG))) How you are approaching your diagnoses is admirable
pip – I take it Kirby is back from the ER. What did they have to say?
Rite – awesome news from the kidney doc! How do you clean the stains off the outside of the Corelleware? I used baking soda on the inside of a dish, but how to get the outside? How do you do it?
Barbie – yea for Jake

Welcome and bravo @mysoulisskinny ! Love your attitude!
Pip Pulled muscles suck but glad nothing more serious. I used my passport when I got my secured DL. Saved having to find all the other paperwork. If you have one, I would check that out.
Good visit for DH at Chiro. I start going Jan 16th for me. We really like this dr. He is whole body oriented. Overall was a great day with some interesting occurances. More on that later. I did get a pay raise! I got everything accomplished that I wanted to today at work. Yay! Ate well but it is no wonder I gain weight when I don't track. I was over on calories. Decided I still needed to walk so no big deal. I had walked about 15 mins when I went to check my pulse and realized I didn't have my fitbit on.
I took it off to wash dishes. So fitbit steps 7900. Walk 40 mins. Walked enough to deficit calories. Have to go to grocery tomorrow. Out of potatoes, macaroni, and rice now. DH likes his starch with dinner.
Time for bed.More after work tomorrow.

I had given them my passport card, it didn’t go through their system for some reason. I still need all the divorce, marriage and death documents especially because I have a Washington license and am trying to get a California license3 -
Simone my reading goal for last year was 12 books. I read 52!😳 This year my goal is 20 but have already finished 2 that I had started last year (lol!). I read just about anything. I belong to Prime First Reads and get 1 book a month free (sometimes more like this month) and pick books by their name and cover, so I’ve gotten mystery, romance (I don’t particularly like these- all the same really) Sci-Fi, horror (Think Stephen King), thrillers (think Koontz) biographies, almost anything! Do you belong to the Goodread app? They have book giveaways that authors do, both Kindle and Hardcover. Last year I won 3 Kindle and 1 hardcover from them. I believe it is good to read all sorts of stuff to widen my horizons! LOL Friend me on here (kevrit) with and I will tell you how to friend me and we can compete reading!
Anyone else interested in free books and a book challenge? Just PM me and we can all connect!

Yes, I do have Goodread, but I had no idea they had giveaways. I have not really been much of a reader until more recently. I was happy with myself reading the Harry Potter series after I heard the first one was being made into a movie. Of course, at that time only the first 4 were available, but after that I got the books as they came out.

I am still sick as a dog with some kind of respiratory virus. But I slept a little better last night.
Today I have a meeting for the reception for my mother's funeral, then a mammogram. Coughing will interfere with the mammogram but the cough medicine will interfere with driving. Maybe a half dose.
My appetite is way down. But I have to eat so I don't get dizzy.
Well, time for another nap. Hope this one does the trick.

COVID?
It's still a reportable disease here, so we need to test and if we're positive register with Public Health ... which my husband and I did when we tested positive just recently.
I've got a telephone appointment with my doctor on Monday because my symptoms have not resolved ... and I want to exchange my annual leave days off with sick leave days off. No sense using my annual leave days when I have been sick!!

I believe it is good to read all sorts of stuff to widen my horizons! LOL Friend me on here (kevrit) with and I will tell you how to friend me and we can compete reading!
Anyone else interested in free books and a book challenge? Just PM me and we can all connect!

I was on Goodreads all of last year and made my goal of 24 books in their challenge, but saw nothing of free giveaways or anything like that.

Grandmallie Happy Birthday to miles! It looks like a wonderful party.
I had bloodwork done today and my glucose is in the high range, but only by a little as it was 106. I am hoping that I find out more Monday when the doctor calls me about the results. My glucose has never been above 94 in previous tests. I went to get my refills for my Levothyroxine and Lipitor that I ordered earlier this week I had a notification from FB stating that I had an event tonight. It was for a candlelight walk in a wooded area that they use for the district schools to teach students about nature. So, I went to that and got my 30 minutes of walking in. I did get hurt during the walk when I stepped on a big rock on the dirt path and slipped on it. I am fine now, but I had to sit down in the building where they have tables for teaching and learning. They also had a log cabin from the 1800s open for us to go in and see what that looked like. Normally it is closed. They even had a fire in the fireplace. Here are a couple pictures that I took while on my walk.
