We had to buy a new microwave, as our old one finally gave up the ghost. It was 28 years old. RIP.
I liked it as it had a plate warmer button, which none of them have now.It has been making a terrible racket for years.
New one arrives tomorrow.
I've got my shower mats, one hole type one for John's and a loofah type one for mine. I know he won't leave it on there when I'm out of there. Too proud. The suction grab bar seems to have firmly stuck on the shower glass.
In the same delivery came a 'true red' lipstick, which I haven't had in years. I like it. I do wear black a lot, so it can lift it. I'm calling it my 'Paris look'. It was absurdly cheap.
No news on Michael Moseley.

Restful day, all in all... got quite a bit of work done on the quilt this morning, a 90-minute nap, and then phone calls to return or receive from all and sundry.
Medical test requests:My primary doc has to have me in for urine tests for the opioids I take every day, per VA requirements. They called today to schedule it, as they test every six months to make sure you're actually taking them and not selling them! I had to go in on the 24th anyway to do my iron tests for the hematologist, so they agreed to add to that rather than bring me in twice.
I also asked them to test my thyroid and potassium while they're at it. I've had some real struggles with fatigue, and if my iron remains normal, it's possible that my thyroid meds aren't working as well as they ought. They also switched me from a diuretic that saps your potassium to one that does not, and I want to make sure I need to continue taking potassium--too high a potassium load can also cause muscle fatigue.
Talked to my best friend, who is trying desperately to get home help for her dad, and then my daughter finally got in touch, and sounded enormously relieved...
Discussed dinner with my husband, too - am trying out a new recipe, a chicken cordon bleu meatloaf, that he found and forwarded. I wasn't hungry last night, so he ate leftovers, and moved trying the new recipe to tonight instead. It's all put together and resting in the fridge, and will put that in about five to eat at six, our usual time. Will put potatoes and carrots around it to roast (at his request). Should be interesting. When you like all the ingredients in a recipe, you usually like the end result... but not always. We shall see.
Have a good night, kids,
Love,
Lisa in AR

Well its done. We took a video for Athena to see the cement truck. I think it brought back memories for husband as his Dad drove a cement truck for years in Portland OR. His Dad passed when he was an early teenager.
Went commissary late, I bought some spicy California rolls for dinner. Dessert will be some yogurt, raspberries and Bevita crackers.
Husband is having an open faced roast beef meal.

Had a nice trip to Steve’s. Found a ceramic place near his house and just HAD to check it out. Got a “welcome” sign with a cat on it. Don’t know when we’ll get to painting it, but we will. Yesterday did Jillian Michaels 6 Week Six Pack DVD (new one for me) and then did some exercises in the pool because had a dermatologist appt. All’s fine, he was glad to see that there wasn’t anything that he had to freeze off.
Allie – our first cat caught a rabbit and brought it into the house. The poor rabbit was so scared it went behind the buffet and died (unbeknownst to us). For the longest time we couldn’t get rid of this odor. Then we found out what it was. A decomposing rabbit. So glad you assisted that chipmunk. I’m sure he’s grateful, even if he doesn’t say it
Tracey – I’m beginning to think that it’s something else, not a callous because today I wore these socks to work that have extra padding on the bottom plus I’m wearing one of those callous pads And I can still feel it! I’m going to a doctor next Wed. He’s the one who first saw the “callous”. I tried calling pediatrists and one isn’t taking new patients for a callous, another isn’t Medicare approved, the third one would just file it down and prescribe an orthotic. Heck, for the money and time, I can file it down myself! But now I’m thinking that it’s something else, not sure what, tho
Heather – oh so happy for you! Of course you’re doing well with your PT, never doubted it for a minute. I like the “defrost” “soften” and “melt” settings on my microwave
Annie – happy your dad did well at the senior center. I’m guessing that he wants to go back?
Made banana chocolate chip muffins for Vince yesterday and some brownies for when we go to Jess’. Now making protein waffles
Mowed the grass today then did a few little things outside (killed weeds, etc)
Have most of the popcorn strung for the trees. There’s one more strand that I want to do that will finish up the spool of thread then I declare myself done and I can go in the pool...yea
numerica – that’s great there’s nothing in your foot. HUGS for your son
Decided not to go to the Salvation Army as much. I can only get there at 10 and they open at 10, so all that’s out are the leftovers. Used to be when they opened at 9 I got first pick of the good stuff. Oh well...I really don’t need much anyway
Sue WA – I’m so sorry for your loss
One of the condos burned. Not in our building. Total loss. Had something to do with a plug
Ginny – HUGS
pip – you are so talented in so many ways...decorating now painting. Be sure to eat enough calories girl
meg - wb
Rori – so good to see you posting. Have fun at your reunion
Beth – what worries you have!
Jenn – welcome
Good thoughts for all those with injuries
I need to make something for Vince using barbecue sauce. Any ideas, anyone?
Boy, are we a prolific group! Getting caught up is quite the challenge
Remember the 4 kittens I told you we were getting? Well, we spoke to Jess about the two from her and the foster parents said one of them is still nursing. At 8 weeks? Vince is sad that we’re not getting them this weekend. You should see the things he bought for them! Special litter, litter boxes, a camera so he can see what they’re doing, scratching posts, he’s really going all out.
When we had the hill on the side of our house done, I told the guy that I didn’t want juniper, I just don’t like it. So what did he give me 21 plants of? Well, it was hard enough to find someone who would excavate the hill. I want to get another flower in place of some of the juniper and I will have to plant it. To be honest, I’m a bit concerned about my planting. But if it’s going to get done, I think it’ll have to get done by me. So Sat. is supposed to be nice so I think I’ll tackle it. All the while holding my breath.
Sorry to anyone I missed. Know that I’m always thinking about you all.
Gotten back into mahjongg lately.

My newest family additions. Meet Tory and Cally. They are eight week old sisters from a barn cat. They need to grow some, but will then be indoor/outdoor cats. They are so soft. So far they have eaten, drank water, played, and both used litter box. I will be keeping them in small area (my shower, then bathroom) for a few days until they get use to the sights, sounds, and smells of their new home. First cats in 30 years. First pets in over 3 years. They are so calming to just hold.
Work is crazy. Still working an extra 4-6 hours a day at home. Did manage to get to the car show that was a messed up weekend in May. Once there had a blast. Tried to ignore sister in law's comments before I left and just had a good time. Memorial day weekend, DH and I took a quick trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg for the weekend. We had a wonderful time even though it was a short trip. Traffic was awful coming home. It took us an extra 3 hours! Did make my massage though as she was willing to wait 30 minutes for me to get there.
Health is good. Weight up .4 lb, but not concerned.
I am trying to catch up......
Hugs and healing thoughts for those in need.
Thank you for all being here!
Much love!

Popping in here before I call it a night.
Heather - Sounds like you are making progress, slow but sure. It won't be long until you look back and realize how much better you are doing than you were even a few days ago. Not completely healed, but on the right track. I think you're getting there already.
I've been scanning news stories about Michael Mosley. Last seen at a bus stop, didn't have his cellphone, tiny Greek island. I wonder what happened to him. I was just reading his "The 8 week Blood Sugar Diet" last week. If he's truly gone, he has left quite a legacy.
Kylia - great hearing from you and LOVE your new kitties! Neat that you have 2 sisters. We knew you were busy busy. Glad you were able to make it out of town for a little while.
Got next week's Pre-Diabetes prevention lesson for class Monday. All about nutrition. It's different than the way I have been eating, definitely not low-carb, although is mindful of avoiding added sugars. Looks to be low-fat, high protein, heavy on veggies and meat which is good but allows a lot more "starches" than I typically eat. We'll see what my A1C looks like next week - if I have to make more changes, I'll have this model.
I messaged Dr. Lisa this afternoon to get a refill on Cetirizine - generic Zyrtec, 10 mg. She messaged me back in a couple minutes they were ready to pick up. $3 for 100. I'll get them when I go in for the blood draw next Wednesday.
Also messaged the foot doc that I saw in early March and asked if he could send over a prescription for another pair of orthotics for me - the business that makes them is right across the street from his office.
His nurse messaged me back they sent it over and all is good. Appointment is June 25th.
Michele - I hope you can find out the problem with your foot. Seems like you've been dealing with it a long, long time. Cute the way Vince is preparing for his new kittens.
Didn't do a whole lot outside today, but seems I was busy. Weed eating. Got out my mini chainsaw and cut up some firewood. Cut long branches in half, really, so they'd fit in my tiny woodstove. Stalling on mowing for a couple more days if I can, the lawn looks a little shaggy but doesn't look bad from the street. That's my excuse.
More I wanted to comment on but getting a little rummy. Waiting for the sun to go down a bit more so the girls go in the coop and I can close the door. I always remove their feed and secure it in the shed at night, don't want to draw critters. They eat right up until they hit the roost it seems. Still laying like mad.
Catch everyone tomorrow.

great news on the "all clear" from the derm. I got the same thing Tuesday.
Is the callous on your foot like a regular one? I have something on mine that is like tiny grains of sand right in the middle of the ball of my feet-one foot worse than the other. I should have asked the derm. but forgot. I dig them out and it is ok(still have the callous part around but not the rock but it comes back)
Kittens will be fun when you get them. I have all four of our fosters out of their playpen right now while I cleaned it and now just letting them play. Even the one I just caught Monday is playing with her siblings- A bit shy still and I do have to chase her a bit to catch her to put her back in-Great for just a couple days in the house.
Have to finish getting the inventory done for the show- not a lot more to go but just don't feel like it.
Tomorrow I need to get baking done for the dessert auction at church for the youth group.
Making a lemon blueberry cake w/ lemon curd filling(lemons and eggs from mom's), lemon icing and candied lemon slices on top.
A pitcher of home made lemonade to either go with it or alone
Making banana nut muffins if I have time. Need to get all the baking and curd made tomorrow then up early on Sunday morning to put everything together
Ready to go to bed but kittens are still playing- they need time out of the playpen.
Over 17,000 steps today. Made up for skipping class last night
