Good afternoon all, thank you for nice compliments on hair cut. It is another nice day here, I cleaned bathrooms today and washed clothes and sheets. Tomorrow morning I go see the vascular specialist. Hopefully the problem isn't serious. Our son in law came home from hospital yesterday. He has a long way to go. In the past 15 months he has lost 60 lbs and has had constant diarrhea. He has gotten 2 different kinds of bacteria in his system that is destroying all his good bacteria and stopping his body from fighting anything off. We are glad he is home and praying recovery will continue. Other than that nothing new here. Have a great rest of your day. Hugs and blessings.

Be sure to check out "Daily Challenges" that I manage under Discussions. Every day (almost) I put in some short challenge that is meant to be fun, not a chore!
E Komo Mai (welcome) to all the new members and to all the returning members. It's exciting to have you here.

@lavalily Are the "Challenges" just for specific teams? I looked under discussions and didn't see... [/quote]

@cory17, @Lavalily is on the Tenancious Grters team. I am not sure which team you are on. Each team tends to have many simaliar challenges on their team. Such as I am on Positively Strong 4 Life, we as a team pick a trail to walk as a team. Many teams have a "challenge" such as a step challenge etc. Happy to answer any questions. These in general are located per team under the Discussion feeds and vary by name per team.

@Tabatha_Cain , I too HATE fibro!! It plays so many nasty tricks on us!! For the pain do you do gentle stretching? On youtube and more you can find stretches specifically for fibro. You can go onto youtube and type in Stretches for Fibromyalgia here's one that's gentle and ahhhhh! I also use biofreeze A LOT!! It's my GO TO! For others ben gay or icy hot etc etc. I also sleep with a heating pad it sets me up for a better next day. Its the brain fog that gets me the most, but I also had a brain aneursym that they found THANKFULLY before it burst. They put a stent in behind my left eye the brain HATES to be played with. Hope these help.

My body needs to get itself TOGETHER In only 12 days!

Day 109 of 2024 miles in 2024 and I had 6.28 miles yesterday.
Beginning my day with a 45 min walk at work.
Work 8AM-2PM so getting into the gym this afternoon for 20 min EMOM + Core and Murph Prep: Recover run 30 min walk, then home for dinner and Pliability: Ankles + Wrists and 60 min walk.

@Tabatha_Cain , I hope you got the memberships you were hoping for today. Hmmm an employee who THINKS they are so SMART in "cheating the system" is not a valuable one. EVER!! They are way more stress than anything else. If it bites her in the end, perhaps she'll learn from it. perhaps. ENJOY the weekend!!! On the exercises, they do not have to all be done in one sitting, and well, let's be frank here, if we do not do them, we are only adding to our own pain. If they can help, and they do, we are going to give ourselves a relief we really want. As I strengthened my core, it did NOT "cure" the fibro by any means, but it sure did lessen the pain. If they help the knots to be lesser, Ahhhh the FREEDOM OF THAT too!!! Sure it takes time, sure they are PAIN IN THE RUMP, but in the end, they do help. It took me forever to realize by how much! So as one fibro to another, DO THEM GF and seek that relief. Will those take away the brain fog? NOPE!! But, there are small things we can to help our brains in that, repetive games help to retrain that so I do them often. I also play cribbage online, but WE KNEW THAT!! Between the games and friends, life, I do pretty well, and I'm great (I THINK??? LOLOL don't we all? ) at hiding it. MAYBE????
@Patti241 as we head into the weekend, ENJOY!!

@Kurtize, LOVE the idea of the whiskey barrels!! Can we please see pictures of it as you do them? Hope next Weds goes well. I sure hope Douglas will be okay. WOOHOO I just updated my steps with Worldwalking. Its' not much, I got thrown for a LOOP on Weds, ended up in the ER, but today is much better! FINALLY feeling like myself again.

Diane: I will try to enjoy the weekend

@Dianedoessmiles1 glad your are feeling like self again. I will post pictures of the barrels want to wait until we get flowers in them. Chilly and cloudy here today. Very crazy weather here. Douglas will be put on an very aggressive multi-level antibiotics. Hopefully this will help him get better. Other than that not much new here. Have a great rest of the day.

Diane: I had lunch with my sister. Was a good time.

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and Joe and I have church. Then we are supposed to be going and working on the yard and getting grocery shopping done and getting the house cleaned. I have so much to do to day. If I can I also need to door dash some more. Not totally necessary but I would like to try and earn a bit more money. It would be nice if I could.

@Dianedoessmiles1 - Doordashing went well yesterday. I made a decent amount of money. I don't think I could support myself on Door Dash just because I have to take my own taxes out of what I make. So it usually knocks my own taxes out of what I make. So it usually knocks some income down a bit. I went for my eye exam and I am so mad. They literally charged me $100. After they told me that it would only be my deductible which is $10 for my eye exams. They said there was a contact exam fee. Well I feel like they should tell people that since they charge it for every person. They knew I wanted a contact exam. I told them when I scheduled the appt. I am going to have to start doing the hand exercises again. I know that is something I need to do. I had a ligament repair on my right wrist several years ago and I never regained full range of motion. So now I think I have scar tissue built up causing pain.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

Tabatha
