Terri ... that is a beautiful arrangement!!
Heather ... so glad to hear your recovery is going well!
Rebecca ... hope you feel better soon ...
My cousin, whom I haven't seen in decades, is coming this weekend to visit my mom (one of her favorite aunts). She will be staying with us for one evening. Nothing like expected company to make you clean and declutter in a hurry. ALL of my mom's stuff from her assisted living apartment has been put away (or hidden)!
Have a great weekend!

Picked yesterday...The last of them...really enjoyed them this year. We have had a lot of rain...Everything is so lush!<img src="https://scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/448431531_2263763163963482_2085074102942755748_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_p526x296&_nc_cat=101&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=5f2048&_nc_ohc=3Au4975tbGsQ7kNvgH9wqAj&_nc_ht=scontent-msp1-1.xx&oh=00_AYAgfu7-Vs7vJuAkZBTpyLTcRL6BJQIhaSFXW1TZ47suig&oe=66720C70" alt="May be an image of peony and text"/>

Lisa ~ Publix has wonderful Southern Potato salad.
Terri ~ Your flower arrangement is beautiful! You are so talented in so many different ways.
Sue ~ That former renter sounds like she has a few screws loose.
Rebecca ~ Hope you feel better soon.
Annie ~ So nice that you can get away if only for a while. Hope your dad continues to enjoy the center.
Rosemarie ~ You've been missed!
My son's family is going to St Augustine Beach this weekend and we get to keep the dogs. The two dogs are very big and are getting old so hope they will enjoy their visit with us. We did keep them one other summer vacation and boy did they shed a lot of hair.

Good morning ladies!
It's a brisk 38 degrees at my house right now. Middle of June. Long cool summer perhaps.
For Michael Mosley/ZOE fans, here's an interview with him & Tim Spector a year ago:
Heather - good, good news. Just think of how much you've recovered in a week's time.
Sue - what in the world is that psycho still doing in your community? Was she from there originally? I wonder if she's now living in her car. Seems strange she's not a member of the gym but is allowed to shower there - sounds like a homeless situation to me. I was hoping she was long gone and far away. As Annie says, stay safe!
Annie - glad that you seem to be getting over the worst of the crud. I wonder if some of us have allergies on top of cold viruses and other respiratory bugs.
Rebecca - sending good thoughts to you as YOU navigate through your illness too.
Rosemarie - glad you popped in. Totally agree that bringing a guy into our lives via these online dating sites when we want to relax won't work for us right now. I'm having trouble keeping energy up every day as well.
Had a nice lunch with my friend M yesterday and came home and napped. I'm going to keep blaming allergies and the weather.
Allie - great job with the weight loss and good luck with shopping and meal planning. I think I've gotten out of the habit of cooking.
Yesterday I received next Monday's class outline for the diabetes prevention class. It's all about portion control and tracking. Guessing how many calories are in a portion of food v. what the real count is - illustrated by something like MFP where we enter that info. I know this is new to many people in my class. My experience so far has been if my goal is to lower carbs and concentrate on lean protein, fiber and healthy fats, the calories take care of themselves.
I have a "blind man" scheduled this afternoon.My huge old insulated accordion pleated window blind needs to have a cord replaced. Maybe all three need to be replaced. There's no way I could have taken it down (too heavy!) and brought it into the shop, so luckily he makes house calls. I guess I'll take the books off the coffee table, maybe that's where he'll work on it. Or on the floor? Will have to drug Rosie with CBD so she doesn't try to help, lol. She'll probably get relegated to the back bedroom to drown out her barking. Sigh.
Heading down to the corner to grab goodies from the produce guy. He opens at 7 and I like to get first pick.
Make it a super day!

Found out that Healthie sinks with MFP through FitBit. I’ll have to change some of my settings as I switched to an Apple Watch, but better than logging the same stuff twice and Healthie doesn’t have a very good food database. I can sync everything through the Apple Health App so not too bad.
@Allie, if you like grazing, maybe fix the food for a day and just graze on that? You could fix it the night before then just graze through the day. Eating every 3 hours would give you 6 meals a day. Splitting 1400 calories into 6 is about 233 calories each time. That should keep you satisfied and your grazing under control! Just my two cents.

Went to my wound check. John drove me there. The nurse peeled off my big bandage and pronounced it 'perfect'.
I looked in the mirror, and was impressed by the thin line. No redness.
She said to just leave it free now. Showers, but not baths for another two weeks. And I could get a new tube of wound cream to massage it with. I've ordered some fancy French stuff from Amazon, just because.......Arrives tomorrow.
I must say, it 'pulls' a bit more without the bandage on, so I'm more conscious of it, but I guess that will improve.
Came home knackered. I was unaccountably nervous before I went, and I'd woken up for the day at 5 am. So, I had a nice nap.
John is prepping the mushroom risotto we are having for dinner. I will do the stirring etc. Friday night is wine night, so we are having a rosé.
So, another step forward.

I am a bit overwhelmed i have to grocery shop again...but want to get the right stuff,but to do that I have to go to different stores.
I can do grocery store pick up for a couple.. but have to kinda figure out what im going to eat the next few weeks.
Oh well..I'll figure it out.
See what you have first in your cabinets, freezer, and pantry to make meals, and add ingredients accordingly. Have easy meal nights when what you planned just isn't in the cards. Only buy what's on your list.😁💖🤗

Well I'm feeling better today. Have that familiar light headed, achy feeling of vertigo coming on though. Vertigo issues do coincide with my colds interestingly enough.
Today heading to Anacortes, WA, a city right as you leave the island from Deception Pass bridge. Husband wants to go to the book store there, and I want to play the piano that's there!
There are lots of antique shops I will be dragging my husband into. We are going to try a new restaurant neither of us have been to.
Tomorrow I am cooking baked potatoes, steak and a lobster tail, with a nice salad. Its my birthday dinner meal. I wanted to have lobster but not have to pay an outrageous price for both lobster and steak at a restaurant. So just making it at home.
My dermatologist did a good job taking biopsies on both my toe and leg spots. She is new there and was shadowing the head doc that day. Practice on me, sure! I told her she had a light and caring manner. The lidocaine smarter and I winced but then I felt nothing.
As a treat for not screaming I got a coffee cake. I decided that would be my birthday cake and have had a slice most every day. Its a rhubarb strawberry almond thing, just delightful. My husband said if I screamed and he could hear me out in the car, he was just gonna drive away.😂😂 He's such a smart (butt). The doctor commended to me on my bravery. I think they pour the compliments on kinda thick so that we'll come back.
This year I am turning 62 which is kind of a "meh" age for me. There's a part of me that does not really wish to celebrate, or do anything Facebook card obligatory silly thing. I have my birthday off on there, I don't mind if people say it, just not a fan of family members that don't say boo all year then on my birthday its all love and smiles. Seems so artificial.

So relieved the wound is perfect! Your journey has been inspiring, and really shows us if we pre-prepare for surgeries, we can navigate them well! Some people I have known have had knee, back or hip surgeries and they have never been the same. Wounds not healing, or they didn't do the required after care. You really have to pay attention. The plans doctors give you isn't just a waste of paper. They do know what they're talking about.💖👍🏼
You should be very proud of yourself, and breathe a sigh. Also John has done splendidly! Tell him he can breathe too. I know he has gone thru quite a time. Being on the other side, waiting in the waiting room is the most scariest thing. Acknowledge that.💖🤗

One bit of advice my mother gave me years ago, and I stress with my kids, shop on the outside of the store. Don't browse the aisles. Only go into the lanes when you have something very specific to get.
I'm glad that the drug is working for you, Allie.

Tracey: Happy Anniversary! 💞
Rebecca: Happy birthday to you 🎵 Enjoy the steak, lobster and piano.
I have an out of town guest coming in less than 2 weeks so I am getting started with getting my place sparkling and cute. Big storm running through here right now. 🌩🌩🌩
Stay well, friends.

Allie - So sorry. What a difficult time for everyone.
My thoughts are with you.
Very tired tonight. The mushroom risotto was one of my best ever, I think. Funny how the same recipe produces a different result every time.
I can't quite get my head around the fact that I'm going to go through the exact same thing in another six weeks. Especially as the left hip is not nearly as bad. Seems a bit surreal right now! Last time I was desperate to get in there, now I feel almost normal. But I know from the X-rays that the hip is nearly as bad, and it could deteriorate very fast, just like the first one did. My friend L put her second one off, and then ended up in agony.
I think most of the credit for my recovery is the skill of my surgeon and the anaesthetist team.
I am very fortunate to be able to pay for this. I would still be waiting for a first appointment.
Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx7
