Been busy. BK asked me to work Wed. since the asst. mgr. Is sick.
Mo – I did make the whoopie pies. Quite good. Thanks for the recipe
Margaret – beautiful flowers. Too pretty to be in a Halloween planter
Allie – so sorry you have a cold, but so glad to see that you aren’t letting it get you down. Now you have to go see the ship’s doc! Hope he can help you. What did he say? Glad you’re feeling better now. The pics of Dehlia and sMiles make me smile. Thanks
Rita – thanks for sharing that video. Unbelievable
Annie – I don’t know how many times I get friend requests from people on FB and think “who is that?”
Tracey – those rocks I moved where the red ants were are dirty. But I am thinking that the rain will wash them. Of course, it’ll probably take a few rainfalls. Most times I do try to do for one what I do for another. But there are times when you just can’t, like Jess’ dog is very laid back, Denise’s is very rambunctious and would get into everything. We just couldn’t have him breaking things.
Barbie – I hope Jake can get to the bottom of his problem Updates: glad he’s OK
Lanette – I’m with you, I’m getting so tired of all this political stuff. Can’t wait for the election to be over so I don’t get so many many phone calls. I like to DVR my TV shows so that I can FF thru those ads. When I get the mail, I stop by the recycling bin and most all the mail goes right in, it doesn’t even come in the house. We don’t keep our phones attached to our hips. Jess constantly complains when she calls and we’re outside that we should have our phones with us. Why??? I want peace and quiet. If it’s important, I figure they’ll leave a message. I do keep my grocery list on my phone, tho. And I also use the timer feature at the gym. That’s also where I have my downloadable spinning workouts
We usually have Thanksgiving by Jess but this year she’s on call so we’ll have Tday here and christmas Eve at her place
deb – it always makes me wonder how do you know you’re allergic to a medication if you don’t take it to find out??????
Kim – so glad you had such a great vacation. You deserve it
barbara – I, too, can’t see if the owner isn’t there while the dog is being trained. Yet….I know when we were training the service dog, we had him for a year, then he went into “formal” training for a year, then he went with the person he was to help and I seem to remember that the person and the dog only had about a week, maybe less time, together. The difference must be that the service dog is a working dog whereas this is a pet. That’s the only thing I can think of. The dog knows to work and it doesn’t matter who the owner is. At least not at first. Afterwards, I know they get attached. Well...not my money being spent to “train” the dog.
Mo – a friend of mine does the Keto diet and she said she gets cramps (in her legs, etc) so I usually save some of the pickle juice at BK and she says that helps her. Good job on the walking!
Rita – so sorry about your son
Jeanne – welcome! Yea for you tracking!
Pip – good luck to you on the run. Have fun camping!
For years now I’ve had this pain in my lower back. I did what I complain Vince does all the time...consulted Dr. Google. Dr. Google says that it could be arthritis. I’m tending to agree with that. There were other things like kidney that I don’t have a problem with. I’m going for my annual checkup next month and again I’m going to mention it to the MD. I really don’t feel it when I’m in the water.

Welcome Jeanne in Seattle. I am north of you in Snohomish.
We had a nice day today. Niece went home and I went to Walmart to get my Covid and flu jabs and pick up a few things. Found "no sugar" applesauce on sale so got some for the old mare. She has decided she does not like the taste of her medication for Cushings and would not eat her food. Adding apple sauce to the food seems to help.
Lisa - you must be getting quite a stock of things to sell.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA7 -
Hello my friends! I had a terrible stomach ache today. I managed to get to a doctor and I've got diverticulitis. So I'm on a very limited diet for ten days but I have to eat something or the antibiotics will tear me apart. So I ordered rice from Amazon. I can barely walk let alone go shopping! But my eating will be all messed up. I don't usually eat rice because it has too much carb and too little protein.
Then I will need a cat scan and probably a colonoscopy. Oh boy! I don't know how I will manage my father through that.
My friend M who had cancer surgery today, said the doctors were very pleased with the surgery outcome. Yay!
See you in the morning,
Annie in Delaware9 -
Annie – I’m so sorry about your diagnosis. Vince had diverticulitis many years ago. But today he doesn’t have any dietary restrictions. What kind of diet are you on?
Two of my neighbors came over here and we played Rummikub. I know at least one of the ladies is hoping this can become a once a month thing. I really don’t mind having a few people here. I haven’t played Rummikub in a long, long, long time.
Oh, did I tell you that Newcomers has been basically kicked out of the use of the airport? We did tell them a while ago that we needed a plan “B” if the airport is unavailable. At that time the gal who was the president basically poo-poo’d the idea. Well, now it’s come to pass. I understand that they’re going to have their general meeting at this church. I did tell them about this one place where you can use the facility (and it’s very nice) for free during the day. Only thing is that it’s in Conover and not Hickory. But it’s free during the day. I have a feeling that they don’t want to go to Conover. Well, since we’re not members, it’s their problem, not mine.
Vince is going to help the lady that he helped with her brother’s trains. Anyway, he’s going tomorrow. Seems that the brother was also into music. Vince helped her sell some musical things and he’s going there to help set up these speakers that she has. I made her some of the tofu brownies and texted her that they’re tofu but to only refer to them as brownies since if Vince knew there was tofu in them, he wouldn’t eat them. I am supposed to go to the soup kitchen tomorrow but first I need to go to the post office to send a picture to the lady in Poland who really helped my father. I didn’t realize the postage would be so high so I’m thinking that this might be the last time I send something other than a card to her.
Off to take a shower. Work tomorrow.

A little bit more about the brain ...
Although brain damage, especially more significant brain damage, can never heal, neuroplasticity can come into play. The brain functions can create routes around the damaged areas.
https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-brain-plasticity-2794886
Neuroplasticity Is an Ongoing Process
Plasticity is ongoing throughout life and involves brain cells other than neurons, including glial and vascular cells. It can occur as a result of learning, experience, and memory formation, or as a result of damage to the brain.
While people used to believe that the brain became fixed after a certain age, newer research has revealed that the brain never stops changing in response to learning.
In instances of damage to the brain, such as during a stroke, the areas of the brain associated with certain functions may be injured. Eventually, healthy parts of the brain may take over those functions and the abilities can be restored.
Brain Plasticity Has Limitations
It is important to note, however, that the brain is not infinitely malleable. Certain areas of the brain are largely responsible for certain actions. For example, there are areas of the brain that play critical roles in movement, language, speech, and cognition.
Damage to key areas of the brain can result in deficits in those areas because, while some recovery may be possible, other areas of the brain simply cannot fully take over those functions that were affected by the damage.
Also, from my research, when healthy parts of the brain take over certain functions, it requires extra effort because the healthy portion of the brain is doing multiple functions and the extra effort results in excessive fatigue which can make all the symptoms of the brain injury worse.
Neuroplasticity applies to all of us, whether we've had a brain injury or not. If we have a goal, something we would like to do, start doing it and keep doing it to develop those neural pathways.

Good early morning, everyone,
I could not exercise today as planned. My stomach has been acting up, and I have been nauseated. I hate that feeling. I barely got any laundry done. Last week, towels were folded and put away. I got the other set of sheets folded and put away and decided to wash Rose's bed stuff. It was so dusty. I cleaned the floors in the bedroom. There was a lot of dust and dog hair. It was so gross to see the amount of dog hair and dirt between the mattress and the sideboard of the bed. Then I felt sick. I picked up Rose later. I was going to leave her overnight, but I knew she was ready to go. When we got home, the stinker didn't want to get out. I felt sick and left her in the car. Finally, when I came back to get her, she was ready. I felt more energetic after my bathroom run. So I put down my new rug, but Rose laid in the way. I tricked her into DS's room and closed the door to lay my rug down properly. When I let her out, she laid on the carpet like I got it for her. She is sleeping on it currently. After straightening my desk, I lost my meds for the night. Finally, I found my meds.
Lisa, I decided that we should not do the car thing too. It isn't fair to him. Julia's God mom and I discussed it and felt that DH should get her a clunker. If he does buy my MIL's car, he should pay DS. I don't know how DS will feel about it, but he and I have a close and honest relationship, and I don't want to ruin that. DH knows Julia is the last person she wants to drive her car. I hope he doesn't go against her by lying and giving it to Julia. Two relationships could get destroyed by a lie. DH and DS are on shaky
ground as it is. By the way, you are right; summer is back in the south. My neighbor is sitting on the porch in her bra and shorts.
Carol, you made me laugh.
Allie, I hope you feel better enough to enjoy the rest of the cruise. I had strep on my first cruise. I was so sick that I threw up all over the boat. So, I hope you are relaxed at least.
Margaret, the stained glass is so beautiful. I love Greek yogurt, pickles, and kimchi.
Jeanne, welcome. You are doing great; one step at a time. You can eat, but think of the nutrition plate: protein, vegetables, and starch, and think about shrinking the portion size. As for the sweets, I look up the calories, and that deters me. It is okay to have a small portion; just don't binge. Walk after the event, burn calories, or do chair yoga at home. Just move your body. Find some good tunes and dance it off. This may be before your time, but sweating to the oldies with Richard Simmons is fun. It is on YouTube.
Heather, I love tulips. Send pics.
Rebecca, they did a segment on the Whidbey area on Lottery Dream Home. That area is beautiful.
Have a great weekend, and I will chat with you next week. If I have a moment, I may come on. I love catching up with you all.
XO,
Mo in Mississippi

First a bicycle ride ...
Then a walk ...
Machka in Oz4 -
Annie - Oh no! Happy you were able to see to the doctor and pick up the antibiotics. My DH had a severe case of diverticulitis years ago - put off going to the doctor, of course, until he developed a high fever and I finally managed to get him in the car and off to urgent care where he was close to peritonitis. I know of at least 2 other guys who did similar - let it go almost too long until the wives intervened. No wonder women outlive men.
I think they told him to eat soft things like scrambled eggs, rice, etc. Sincerely hope you are on the mend.
Mo - sorry to hear about the nausea. Hope you are doing better today. I had to laugh at your Rose claiming the new rug as hers. I have a runner in the kitchen that sometimes moves a little, seems every time I want to get it back where it belongs, my Rosie is standing on it. I have to throw her toys into the living room to keep her occupied for a minute. Also hope that clingy mom is getting therapy or has found someone else to latch onto and doesn't get in your way. You handle her well.
Allie - glad you are doing OK and enjoying your cruise - no nasty weather. Nice photos - it's been chilly here and they warmed me up. Delia is a doll.
Jeanne from Seattle - welcome. There are quite a few Washingtonians in this group. I'm south of Oly not far from Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens. Mo had good suggestions. I was a sugar and junk food a-holic, and the only way I stopped it was to avoid bringing any of it in the house because I'd binge too. At work, I'd make an excuse like "my tummy has been kind of upset so I'm laying off today." But I'd couldn't use that excuse at home when my DH loved candy and cookies.
Also, upping protein has helped me a lot. I now get over 100 gm/day, usually eat 2 eggs for breakfast then if I get hungry before lunch, a handful of nuts. Research has shown that nuts aren't as bad as they seem since some of the fat - often up to 40%- is trapped in fiber and gets excreted when we go to the bathroom - the body doesn't absorb it like it would if we ate deep fried foods, for example.
Sue - glad to hear you found a way to get your mare to take her medication with the applesauce. Smart idea!
Debbie - I'm hoping Walmart has some rotisserie chickens in their deli cooler. I saved the carcass and bones from the one I got a couple weeks ago and tossed it into the freezer. I'd like to put a couple into the crockpot and let them simmer for a while and get some good broth. I just checked the price online.... up to $5.97! I hope that's for the hot ones and not the ones in the cooler from yesterday. I paid $3.97 a few weeks ago. Guess I'll find out. How are the prices down your way?
Working on the grocery list. Will do an early morning shopping run - temps in the 30's but it's a little overcast so shouldn't run into any icy roads.

Morning, my chickens,
Slept well for nearly 8 hours, yay for me! 🎉🎊🥳 Worked nearly 12 hours straight yesterday, but finally got where I wanted on one of the designer bags. I'll post a picture once it's done. Very pleased with the colors, now it's a matter of deciding the small bits - webbing or self-fabric straps, whether to attach them with metal or integrate them with the bag body, and so on. I can really feel the difference in my shoulders, working at standing machines rather than sitting ones. In a good way, I hasten to add. My lower back is doing well.
Jeanne in Seattle - Up to my ears in designing/building, sorry I hadn't greeted you yet. So glad you're here! The fact that you came back to the thread after 24 hours is a good sign, I think a lot of people find us and then lose their way back. Lots of support for you here, plus a lovely lack of politics and religion, it's a great bunch of 50+ women who welcome new voices... we know it takes the whole person to get to the healthy lifestyle we all seek, so it's not just weight loss and exercise, they're just two elements of the overall healthy life we want.
Annie - Sorry about the diverticulitis diagnosis... my ex had it, and it seems quite painful. Hope you can figure the rest out with taking care of yourself and your dad. Tough spot.
Sue - Yeah, there's quite a bit. I haven't shared most of what I've got, but they fill six file boxes right now, plus stuff piled on top and hanging beside the boxes. Glad you found something for the old mare. There are times I feel like her - I really get tired of taking pills...🫤
Would like to get two or more of the designer bags done before next week to take in to the standing farmer's market. We'll see what I can accomplish.
Love y'all!
Lisa in AR6 -
Did my writing
and phoned G , who has had some borderline results on her DEXA and blood tests. She is on steroids, so no surprise, but she has a phone appt with her doctor next week.
My friend B is pretty desperate, over in their holiday home in Cyprus. Her husband's granddaughter has been with them for months now, and is driving them crazy. Now she is hiding in the bedroom for some peace.
John hurt his back yesterday while we were planting the tulips. He didn't notice at the time, but I think it must have been while he was wrestling the birdbath out of the ivy. It's heavy stone.
It had been feeling a bit better for the last week, so he's a bit fed up. Then the printer was flooding. Then he burnt the stewed pears. 
One of those days.
Horrible, miserable weather today. I was going to the butcher, but ... no.
Got the pizza dough out of the freezer, only to see it says 'not for home freezing'. Oops. It was a substitute, not my usual one. So we will see. If it's no good I can order from Pizzaface around the corner. Gorgeous wild fungi with truffle oil.
Pouring with rain!

Good morning beautiful ladies!
I slept much better, even turned off my alarm and slept another hour. Ate my usual eggs. The doctor wanted me on a liquid diet for a few days, but I need the eggs for protein. Other than that I have tea and water. And coffee which doesn't seem right. And hot chocolate, likewise. All that effort into not drinking my calories, and then there's nothing suitable for a liquid diet. But then, it's my emotional mind that's scared of a little fasting.
I also have almond milk and yogurt. I guess
that's enough.
At least Dad has his class today. I have to drive him there and pick him up, but it's only five minutes away and that gets me four hours of peace.
So have a great day! May you all be happy, healthy, safe and free!

Morning ladies
On our way back ,going through the carribean sea.. my only downfall in the mornings is that darn small chocolate croissant and fresh fruit.. I have noticed that even with the fancy dinners I only eat a portion and leave the rest..
Im relaxing in the room,honestly I need to ask what kind of bed,pillows and bedding they use because I sleep so soundly.. and of course the rocking of the ship helps lol
The sunset last night and a cocktail from last night,but only drank 1/27 -
Annie The doctor is suggesting fasting to give your digestive system a chance to recover. I wish I had a magic wand to elevate all the stress you are under. Stress can give the wrong types of bacteria a chance to grow and cause you problems.
I am trying out STOP technique I just learned about. When faced with a problem first just first slow down and even stop. then think of possible solutions and gather info/ideas from resources, observe the situation and my reaction to the situation, then make a plan to try to make the situation or problem better.
I am trying this on a couple of problems I thought were resolved. Old me would remain upset and go at the problem without thinking it through. Wiser me is letting myself calm down, gather info, then try again to make the problems better. I then need to wait and see if my efforts resolve the situation. I need to accept it may or may not.
It is a technique I hope to make a habit of helping me with the stressors I have in my life.

Heather - you are fortunate to get a plumber so fast. We are having trades issues here because there are too many projects and not enough people.
I love that photo John took.
I hope your brother gets out soon.
Carol - I didn’t like Kathy Bates’ scarier roles, but I love her in Matlock.
Barbie - Free firewood is a wonderful gift. My grandfather and now my brother sold firewood each year I know the work and the costs for that.
My new benefits plan has an option where I can just have my prescriptions sent to me as needed. I am not going to sign up for it. I feel it’s important that my pharmacist knows us and checks in with us when we refill.
Lisa - I have a really good exercise for my hip flexors that help with my lower back pain and an exercise for between my shoulder blades and neck that helps that. It helps more, when I remember to do it. 🙄
The hip flexors is put one foot up on the opposite knee, then press down gently on the bent knee.
The shoulders is placing one arm across your chest and then pulling it tighter to the chest while keeping it straight from the elbow.
I need to do a lot of work to get myself back again to pain free days. I need to keep up the exercises even on the good days.
Machka - I use my phone much more like a laptop too. I rarely use my laptop.
Vicki - I think taking the month of November is necessary for your health.
The stress I had been under with my job really took a toll on my health and until I started feeling better I didn’t even realize how bad it was. I hope you are able to take the time you need to heal.
I had the afternoon off, I had my first appointment with my new doctor after the meet and greet in March. I sure miss my old doctor, but I’m fortunate to have a doctor when so many don’t so I won’t complain.
I went to the see one of the ladies from ceramics tonight, she told me she had some scrapbooking supplies for me. It was a lot more than I was expecting.
I left it in the car for tonight.
I ordered a baby shower gift for the shower on Saturday. I ordered two Baby’s 1st year calendars. She is having twin girls. I think I’ll grab a pack of receiving blankets or onesies to go with them. The main gift I’ll make when the babies are safely here and named.
Well I guess I should go to bed. Hard to believe it’s Thursday again already tomorrow.

Embrace that word fasting. It doesn't mean deny, it means healing!🤗💖. I haven't been doing long fasts, just not eating after 9 pm, and then waiting to eat until 12 or 1pm. I get two hearty meals in. Its more about the time fasting, I don't eat anything that will trigger an insulin response. So just black coffee or plain tea in the morning. Its about letting my body rest those 15-18 hours. Let it heal from the inside out.👍🏼💖

Made the appointment for the MRI after my next payday. Still no call from therapy to start that. I told the office I called that and they are supposed to contact them and see what’s up. I think I will call the PT place too to get them moving. Everyone must be really busy. Not much else going on.
Construction at the park still moving along (right around my camper! New sewer pipes.) Morning walk using the WalkFit app (they gave me a free year after I told them I had to quit because I developed a torn ACL 2 days after starting the app!) I doubt I would have paid for it anyway but free is good!
Took a drive through town to go to Walmart and saw a lot of the damage from the flood yesterday. I accidentally went down the road with the most damage. Weird to see cars half buried in mud or half way tipped trunk up in the middle of a field where there should not be any vehicles! Dust from dried mud everywhere (of course I had just gone through the car wash!). Glad I wasn’t in town when that flood happened!
Quiet day planned today. Have to wash my support stockings, I do them by hand, and work on my knitting, otherwise, not much else. Oh, I almost forgot, another 20-30 minute walk putting the reservation labels out on the campsites. That will happen once I’m done here.
Have a great day ladies!

Lololol. I can’t even believe that I do housework voluntarily at all! If we do it regularly once a week it doesn’t get bad and won’t build up, yogi is a champ, he is not liking the ear stuff that we put in his ears twice a day but we give him peanut butter, kisses and hugs, poor guy, still having to wear the head gear though.

If I do the 1/2 marathon at this pace, I will do it in 2 hrs 17min 23sec. A lot slower than my past runs. I looked up my pace on an old run and I did a 9.47 minute mile in 2019, I was 60 then. Not about pace anymore, just the fact that I can still do it, that’s good enough.

If he does buy my MIL's car, he should pay DS. I don't know how DS will feel about it, but he and I have a close and honest relationship, and I don't want to ruin that. DH knows Julia is the last person she wants to drive her car. I hope he doesn't go against her by lying and giving it to Julia. Two relationships could get destroyed by a lie. DH and DS are on shaky
ground as it is. By the way, you are right; summer is back in the south. My neighbor is sitting on the porch in her bra and shorts.
Carol, you made me laugh.
Allie, I hope you feel better enough to enjoy the rest of the cruise. I had strep on my first cruise. I was so sick that I threw up all over the boat. So, I hope you are relaxed at least.
Margaret, the stained glass is so beautiful. I love Greek yogurt, pickles, and kimchi.
Jeanne, welcome. You are doing great; one step at a time. You can eat, but think of the nutrition plate: protein, vegetables, and starch, and think about shrinking the portion size. As for the sweets, I look up the calories, and that deters me. It is okay to have a small portion; just don't binge. Walk after the event, burn calories, or do chair yoga at home. Just move your body. Find some good tunes and dance it off. This may be before your time, but sweating to the oldies with Richard Simmons is fun. It is on YouTube.
Heather, I love tulips. Send pics.
Rebecca, they did a segment on the Whidbey area on Lottery Dream Home. That area is beautiful.
Have a great weekend, and I will chat with you next week. If I have a moment, I may come on. I love catching up with you all.

On our way back ,going through the carribean sea.. my only downfall in the mornings is that darn small chocolate croissant and fresh fruit.. I have noticed that even with the fancy dinners I only eat a portion and leave the rest..
Im relaxing in the room,honestly I need to ask what kind of bed,pillows and bedding they use because I sleep so soundly.. and of course the rocking of the ship helps lol

Lololol. I can’t even believe that I do housework voluntarily at all! If we do it regularly once a week it doesn’t get bad and won’t build up, yogi is a champ, he is not liking the ear stuff that we put in his ears twice a day but we give him peanut butter, kisses and hugs, poor guy, still having to wear the head gear though. Will have a vet appointment whe we get back.
Awe, I was giving peanut butter on a treat that had a paw print on it. That's where I put my cousins dogs pill into, then "frosted" it with peanut butter. He loved it!
How long does Yogi need to wear the headgear?
