    Annie ... don't tell your dad about the light that is out!!

    Debbie ... Happy Birthday!

    Vicki ... Is your husband close to getting Medicare? The insurance thing really does stink. Still going to worry about you though ...

    Today was Spring Clean the kitchen table and shelves. Did that and then tackled the family room. I can only do so much there as the shelves and walls are covered with DH's things. However, I cleaned and sanitized the furniture (leather and the dog likes it) and did a thorough vacuum of the carpet along with deodorizing and vacuuming again!! Then helped DH haul large branches down to the road for pick-up.

    Barbara ... even though I eat within a certain timeframe, I have been doing CICO the past few days. My husband thinks I eat too much in a short period of time. Sadly ... he is correct. Logging always helps keep me honest when I start getting "creative" with my meals.

    We're supposed to get gnarly weather Saturday night into Monday. Still, Spring is definitely on its way!

    Tracey - I'll bet you'll end up with another 100%. These are the pulleys - Got three of them from Temu: op1vbg4bil3k.png So far, I'm pretty happy - the lines are about six feet long, and they work on the same brake system as a seatbelt, so you have to jiggle a little to get it to move or retract.

    thanks for all the birthday wishes. I appreciate every one of them.
    Havent heard "happy birthday" from anyone in the house(dh, son, daycare girl or her mom when she dropped her off)-dh did acknowledge it-asked how if felt to be 62.
    Even my back up plan is changed. DH was too busy to go pick up lunch so will pick my food(will now be my dinner) when he goes and gets food for his mom. Only good part is with him picking mine up late, it will be just for me and I won't have to share- I can have it for two meals.

    Had half a corned beef sandwich(only one slice of bread, the cheap wheat bread so not a lot of calories) and three slices of corned beef. That will hold me over until he brings dinner. Needed something-all I have had before that was hot tea(3 or 4 cups so far).
    Just eating a little, I can have a big bowl of gumbo and half the hush puppies. SO nice to find really good hush puppies, finally.

    I should have done the dishes last night. Now they are all waiting for me. I will wash them a bit later, after Ezie goes home. Only one more hour or so and she should go home. Found out that not only do I have her all day instead of just after school, but her mom is on vacation all week.
    She knew today was my birthday but still brought her regular time and for the whole day- oh well.

    Did a DVD by Kerry Katona today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a yoga dVd

    After doing the DVD, walked on the treadmill and then went to Aldi then cvs to pick up a prescription

    Tracey – I knew you’d knock that presentation right out of the park!

    Allie – the TV ALWAYS puts me to sleep. Vince has told the doc that he doesn’t need to give me any anesthetic, just put a TV in the OR

    I could swear I made a post last night, but for the life of me I can’t find it. Maybe it’ll appear

    Debbie – happy birthday

    We all need to celebrate National Woman’s Day. Have an (unsweetened) ice tea

    Heather – so glad you’re getting into that clinic in a timely manner. It really disturbed me that you were having to wait so long

    Yea Lisa – you go girl

    Rebecca – your grandson is such a sweetie

    Vince wanted to try Culvers. Unfortunately, all their fish is deep fried. So I had a grilled chicken sandwich. I did splurge and had one of their concrete mixers, But I did get the mini size. Just water to drink. Honestly, I wasn’t super impressed. I would much rather have gone to a good seafood restaurant.

    After Culvers Vince wanted to walk around the parking lot (woooo) so I put on my sneakers and went with him. I will work some on Jess’ tree skirt then depending on the time, I’ll go for a walk

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBIE!!!
    Do something nice for yourself. Buy yourself some flowers.

    Hair went OK, though she took a shave more off than I asked for. It's much cheaper than my usual place. The hairdresser has been on a hospital list to see a gynaecologist for a year. :o
    I've been doing gentle exercises for hips and wearing my gym trainers in the house as slippers today. Plus I put my arch supports on. So far an improvement. I was in less pain walking to the hairdresser. It's about 100 yards.

    I've got mushrooms to use up, so I think I'll do a chicken stroganoff with fresh kale and a bit of rice. :D

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx



    Are you able to go see a chiropractor?

    need to take back the statement about Ezie's mom- She came in with a bag from Bath and Body Works- a trio of "Happy Birthday" fragrance pack, a candle and a body wash.

    Still waiting for dh to bring my food home- HUNGRY(sitting here hungry while he sits at his mom's with her complaining about him being gone for the weekend)

    He should be home soon as his friend said they were leaving in half an hour.

    When my hip was so bad for years one thing that really helped me was when someone finally told me to set a timer to get up and move for a couple of minutes and not sit longer than 20. Over time of course the time of each increased, I can tell now when I’ve been sitting too long. I have been lately because being on my feet hurts my plantar fasciitis, sitting hurts my back and hips. There must be a happy medium that I haven’t found yet.

    I am so glad I've got a sit-stand desk at work now which allows me to continue working but vary it between sitting and standing. I'm also looking at one for home too.

    One of the worst positions for my hips is sitting in bed with my back propped up with pillows and my legs relatively straight out in front. They get so painful that way I can hardly walk when I do get up.
