Billy Joel just performed his first song in 30 years.
“Turn the Lights Back On”

I’m buying it on payday.
It spoke to me.

yes, he has to pay for it. We were just going to give him cash for half(as long as he gave us 1/2 the space)
The next one is in Stockton at the end of the month and Sacramento the following month- he doesn't know if he will go or not.

Tracey - When my knee was bad, I used to do 'chair dancing'. You need something like a bar stool, so you can swivel and rock about.
There are so many exercises you can do without using your foot. Chair yoga etc. Some mat work. Knee push ups etc. YouTube will have loads. I do loads of stuff lying down. Some need a foot, some not.
I like the idea of 'Turn The Lights Back On'.

This morning, first thing, I was taking my bathroom trash bin out, when I grabbed a bag that has been annoying me for ages. It was all the conditioners you get when you dye your hair. They are excellent, but I don't use them past the first wash as they are rinse out, and I am lazy and always use 'leave in'. I had about 20 of the things and always meant to take them to a womens shelter or something. I never had.

So, gulp, out they went. They are waiting for the bin lorry right now.
Relief. If something is bothering you, or getting on your nerves, do something about it. Your brain will thank you.

Dresses/Skirts ... Episodes of DVT over the years and venus reflux problems have left me with unattractive legs so I gave up dresses/skirts years ago. Our church has become very casual ... so much so that when I wear business type dress slacks, I am almost "overdressed."

Stockings ... I think the short leggings make a lot of sense, but my feet would be complaining in dress shoes without stockings.

I wear footlets or liner socks, like these ...

Today is a good day for a sweater! 30 mph winds again and 51 degrees outside make for a nasty wind chill. Good day for stuffed mushrooms and home made soup! BTW, I include the Independence Day of various countries for 2 reasons: 1. I don’t want to leave anyone out because of where they live, and 2. I don’t know where all the flags are from, so post so we can all enjoy them.

RVRita in Windy Roswell which will send me to OZ pretty soon on a spaceship!

Love Yorkshire pudding!

This is the Australian flag

The Australian National Flag features the five stars of the Southern Cross and the Commonwealth Star, and the combined crosses of St George, St Andrew and St Patrick. The union of crosses represents Australia’s early settlers. The Commonwealth Star with its seven points represents the unity of the six Australian states and the seventh point stands for all Australian Territories.

Got a 1/2 way decent nights sleep so thats good..
The animals woke me up at a bit before 6 for breakfast,and poor Alfie has some tummy trouble.
Michelle- nobody knows about the new little one yet except,Tracy,Kyle and I and the plan is to keep it that way until the gender reveal..I don't think they are going to do a big huge thing..
But by June on your 3rd child I think people will notice..
I have to get all my papers together for the accountant for tomorrow. Thats my work for today ..and a load of laundry..

I've been sending out a few publicity hooks and today I got a bite!!
It's the local free magazine, The Hovarian, that comes through our letterbox once a month.
I was featured in the December 2021 edition, for a previous book, but I thought it was worth another try. I also mentioned our adventures in painting in the email, so she replied by saying I could be featured in the April edition!

She's sending out the Q&A at the end of this month.

Lots of love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

I felt like I twisted my brain in a knot today at work as I tried to figure out a problematic aspect of my code - more specifically, the input portion. Finally, at the end of the day, I came up with a solution.

Now onto the next problem tomorrow! I noticed the next problem at about 5:16 pm ... and decided to go home.

I did get a longer walk at lunch because another cruise ship came in and for whatever reason, half the ship has to go into my chemist/pharmacy. So I walked up to another one a little distance away. Fortunately, I just needed vitamins and not a script. I was after Magnesium, in particular, for my night time restless legs.

Heather - That's awesome!

Tracey - I loved Billy Joel so much... He is the soundtrack of my 20s. I didn't realize it had been that long... Loved "Turn the Lights Back On," too. I also realized for the first time how much Bob Dylan I hear in his voice.

It was a busy weekend... If you have me on Facebook, you can see the pictures there, or they're in the spoiler for anyone else who might want to see them:

Took me forever to get those dang directions sorted out. I have never been able to visualize spatial coordinates...

Trying not to get distracted this morning, as I need to leave here by 8 a.m. to go to the primary doctor and have him look at my knees. Nine chances in ten he's going to send me to get X-rays. Afterward, will stop at Walmart Tire Center on the way home. They have me slated at 1 p.m., but fingers crossed they will be able to get me in early to get that new tire on my car. If not, it's no big deal, it's only ten minutes from my house. Will just save me the cost of gas to go home and go back.

First, though, I need to get a pair of yoga pants cut down to make them shorts. Never enjoyed having to wear one of those bϋtt-baring gowns to get my knees looked at. I don't wear regular shorts or skirts, so those aren't an option...

Hope it is or was a good Monday for all.

Love y'all,
Lisa in AR

LOVE how you've done your space, Lisa. Looks super efficient and decluttered!

Waiting for your review to appear. Rita 's is up there. THANK YOU.

Good morning ladies!

Kylia love your new boots!

Lisa your laundry room looks so bright and functional! And cutting yoga pants is a great idea!

Heather glad your publicity is going so well.

I have a dentist appointment at noon. I'm trying not to be anxious about it.

I'm getting competitive with my Spanish game on Duolingo. I do a lesson a day then on Sunday night I play catch-up and do two hours of lessons so my score stays in the highest league. But if I make five mistakes I have to quit for the day. The material is getting harder. It would make more sense to do more earlier in the week but nope.

I wish they would do more rewards on MFP. I guess they have to be careful not to encourage unsafe weight loss. But still, the program should tell me how many days in a row I've eaten by my plan and how many days I've exercised to my plan. Streaks are motivational.

It's a beautiful sunny day here. Hope our California friends are okay. Have a great day!

Allie Thinking the same thing. Anyone heard from Carmine and how she/he feels about the new baby? Also, I tried texting you the other day but couldn’t. Did you change your phone number? PM me please.

My Kidney doc wants to put me on Farxiga. It is so expensive, I’m not going to get it. The cheapest I could find it, with all kinds of discounts, it for 90 days at $200!! I need to ask for other options. I checked for different types this morning, but all were very expensive. What all, if any of you take for you CKD? I’m trying the diet for now.

Today is be nice to your Wether person Day! They do try…. Nutella and chocolate fondue…. Too much sugar but yummy!

Beth - your new neighbors sound wonderful.

Lisa - great improvement in your laundry room, love the changes. Good luck at the doc's. Hope the tire gets replaced quickly and you are safely on the road again. I was surprised to find my old Camry still has a full size spare. Remembering to keep it inflated is the key.

Kylia - glad you enjoyed the Cher musical. Happy to hear you had a great birthday weekend.

Rita - hope there's a less expensive med than Farxiga. Hope the diet works for you.

Tracey - Now I'm going to have to search for highlights of the Grammys. Sounds like some of my favorite performers were on. And I'm going to look for the "Just Dance" videos. Hope your foot lets you enjoy doing them.

Heather - Nice to be getting publicity for your book. Looks like plenty of rain today so I'll have a chance to get back to it today.

I slept over 8 hours last night. Supper done by 4 pm last night and had a swig of a little baking soda in water before I went to bed, so slept without any tummy troubles. Skipped coffee this morning, smaller breakfast. Lagging without my caffeine hit but doing OK and still plan to run to the groceries this morning.

Update - just ate a bit and made myself 2 cups of coffee in the coffeemaker. Watered down well with milk so getting my fix and my tummy seems Ok with it. Coffee has a lot of fiber and is healthy so I'm not giving it up.

Have a good week!
