😟😦

@bobboyardee – I hope you’re feeling better!

@Katmary71 – Following you back! I’m glad to see you’re feeling better. The elderberry lemon balm tea sounds yummy!

@trooworld – the Puppy Bowl is always so much more fun! I’m so glad you’re feeling better and the alarms are working. Setting alarms was my first thought…glad @micaroo4 mentioned it! What a great set up for your office! I can’t face my windows. I’m already too distracted by just my thoughts LOLs. Be safe in the rainstorm!

@laurelfit57 – Be sure to bring back warm weather from Cabo! I’m so glad your doggies will get to stay together while you’re on vacation. I agree with football. So boring. Only games I’ve ever “watched” or attended were ones where my children had marching band at halftime.

@TeresaW2024 – Oliver is freaking hilarious. His new “thing” is to take my hand and hold it to his cheek and say “nack” (snack). So funny how he tries to sweetly manipulate! Kismet will accept her treat from the kids, but I don’t allow them to touch her. I would feel terrible if she scratched any of them. I’m basically her only person that can hold her. She will either nip or scratch if she’s scared. Hunter got nipped once and is terrified of her LOLs. It’s typical behavior for a rabbit.

@DrewsAnna – I hope you get the script worked out soon.

@FushiaKat – Fresh pomegranates?!? Sounds heavenly!

@lislisa123 – Happy Belated Birthday! Hope it was fun and nice job on losing a pound!

Thank you everyone for the prayers for Amelia. The surgery went smoothly and by the time I left she was almost breathing on her own. Breathing tube was removed last night, oxygen removed this morning and the drain tube from her little side was removed this morning also. Now we just need her to be able to eat. Please continue your prayers that she will be able to eat properly. If she does consistently, she’ll only have to be there for another week to 10 days. She is a Fierce Fighter! I would nickname her FiFi (pronounced fee-fee), but don’t want anyone thinking I’m calling her a dog! LOLs


Today is my remote work day, so in between emails and whatnot I have cooked a batch of Royal Coronas so I can make Harissa beans for dinner (will serve over cilantro rice), baked sweet potatoes and roasted delicata squash. I did good yesterday at the hospital, too, by bringing my lunch with me (tofu, rice and asparagus). Snacked on grapes during my drive. It was stressful, but helped that I was with my people. My daughter-in-love’s twin sister, mom and dad were there, too and I’m so thankful they are friendly and inclusive. Here we are all wearing our Team Amelia sweatshirts.


2025 is MY year!

@FushiaKat Oh great score finding the pomegranates! Enjoy your delicious fruit. Wow that's a lot of invites into other health groups. I know AARP sent letters to my family AND my home to invite me to join when I turned 50. Hope you have a great Valentine's Day!

@trooworld Let us know how the alarms go! I feel the same as you about sports it doesn't hold my interest. Thank you! I'm so glad your review went well! Your placement where you can see some of the ocean sounds awesome. I hope you beat the storm I'm feeling it but it hasn't started raining here yet.

@TeresaW2024 Thank you! I'm with you Spring hurry yp! Yum enjoy your dinner it sounds delicious!

@LisaLisa123 Happy Birthday to you!

@DrewsAnna I'm so glad the prescription issue has been corrected. I was thinking of how you were interested in meal prepping for awhile, are you doing that at all?

@vegan4lyfe2012 The elderberry lemon balm tea is pretty herby then I added Tumeric and ginger root so it REALLY is under the “medicinal herbal tea” category! I kind of like it, the herby taste is growing on me. I'm so glad surgery went well for Amelia. Continued prayers for her and all of you. Dinner sounds awesome. I love the tees and especially all the smiles on everyone's faces!

Hi friends! The cleanup at the Ministry thrift store went well for the most part, my neighbor and my friend from the charity came and helped, we helped organize clothes and dishware and dealt with labeling things. My neighbor was a little rude about not wanting to handle stranger's clothing, I jumped right in and did it so I'm hoping there's no hard feelings by the owner over it. Worked out this morning but not a great food day. I was trying to go to a trivia night tonight with different neighbors but the storm coming in is making my pain pretty unbearable. She's not understanding and wants me to just come for a little bit even though I said I was in bed, I was feeling bad but I can't pay any attention to trivia feeling like this and while writing this I'm realizing I'm not going to push myself just because she doesn't understand which is her problem not mine. Have a great Thursday everyone!

@lislisa123 Happy belated birthday!!

@vegan4lyfe2012 Ohhh sweet little Amelia is a FiFi for sure!! There is something just wrong about a precious new life hooked up to tubes, but I’m so happy that her surgery went well. I am praying for a quick healing and that she will be home soon! Love the shirts!!

@Katmary71 Our church once went to help clean up the storage area of a Habit for Humanity thrift store. The storage room was huge, and I was disgusted by the stuff people donated! The worst was all the Christmas stuff that was nothing but garbage. I don’t understand why people think other less fortunate would be happy with stuff that belongs in a landfill. Did you find that when you did your cleanup? I love your attitude about protecting yourself from the neighbor, not understanding your pain, and that it is real, but some people are clueless.

@trooworld Is your office going to stay all yours, or could you get another officemate? Yeah, I’m not fond of being in a fish bowl, either. I used to get so mad at Joe when he would get up before me and open up all the curtains, but it was still pitch dark outside. I didn’t need the neighbors looking at me in my nightie! We are having a ton of rain here, too, and had thunderstorms through the night that Maggie made sure to voice her displeasure. I hope you get your 4-day weekend!


Good morning! I got a call yesterday from my real estate agent that the homeowners want to move the closing up to the 24th. Of course, we will be thrilled to do that, but we still have to see if the lender can get it all together. I did the house appraisal yesterday and the paperwork to sign for the homeowner's insurance, so that is all a good sign. Right??? I just want this done! I started a new 3000-piece puzzle yesterday, which will be challenging! I’m determined to take my time with the initial sort, and I got about halfway done. I will finish the sort today before beginning to put this beauty together.

ICE BREAKER QUESTION: What do you do for fun?
My first answer is, of course, jigsaw puzzles! I used to do many fun things with Joe, but that is over now. I have lots of fun with my great-nieces and look forward to watching them grow up and doing girly stuff with them.

Here is a pic of the puzzle

Good morning! We are all set to close on the house on the 24th at 1:00 pm! My niece is so excited, and we are thrilled that we can help her this way. Now, I need to figure out the tax consequences of a rental property. I've done a lot of reading on the subject and determined that it would be best if the IRS would mind their own business. Yeah, in a perfect world! : D Today is a haircut for Joe, putting our pills together, and doing a gentle workout. I somehow bruised my left heel, and walking right now is so painful! I have no idea what I did to cause this pain, but I need not do it again!

Thank you all for the birthday shoutout. I'm officially 40. 😱 Why can't we age down? I would like aging down so much better, with fewer health problems, and fewer responsibilities. Sounds great. 😂

@TeresaW2024 Woohoo that's so exciting congratulations! LOL I love your conclusion wouldn't that be nice!

@trooworld Oh no I'm sorry to hear how much the shot hurt but hoping he got it this time! If you have anything to boost your immune system right now I recommend it with the injection and how you're feeling as cortisone can challenge the immune system. It sounds like you had a full day despite being worn out! I WOULD love to explore the bookstores and coffee shops around you! When I was visiting my brother it was all partying though we did go see 311 and other bands. That's the coolest collage!

@DrewsAnna Aw very sweet gifts from the hubby! Did you get in your exercise and super greens?

HI gang! Thought I had more to catch up on but it's been a little quiet! I went to a cool garage/moving sale of a guy with a huge garden and got a bunch of wide mouth mason jars 2 for $1 then he sold me pots for $1 so now I need some time in the yard! I rented a second bed at the community garden and my friend from the food bank farm also joined which I'm happy about. The garden club vice president is getting into the community garden too and I think all the new energy coming in will be great, the woman in charge of it now has been doing things by herself for a while and is so excited to have more invested people excited to help. I have relatives coming to town next weekend and the only night I can see them is Friday after work but I can't drive at night and have to get up early to get my tooth out Saturday morning. My brother, SIL, and I all are working Friday and my mom is insisting on a BBQ at their house (30 miles away) so I either ride with my brother and stay late or not go since I need sleep for my drive to the oral surgeon the next morning. I tried to get us to meet at a restaurant in the middle but that was vetoed so think I'll see if they want to come over for coffee on the way home and forget my parent's house. My Mom drives me nuts but I'll skip complaining there. It's a huge difference to meet for two hours at a restaurant versus go over at 6 and stay until 10 then need to drive home and go to bed late. My Invisilign broke so it's lots of glue and not eating or drinking in public and I'm going to a Vitamix cooking lesson tomorrow. I tried calling the surgeon to get in earlier but I'm sure that won't happen. Have a great Sunday!

@TeresaW2024 - Yay! for the house being set. Are the mice gone? Sounds like a nice quiet day. Hope your heel feels better soon.

@trooworld - Was Vida offered through your health insurance? I did something like that years ago. Thank you for the info, I will check it out. I hope you don't get sick and your knee feels better. Sounds like you did a lot of walking for books and coffee- that's great you can do that! You are tearing it up with the weight loss- Congrats!

@DrewsAnna - How sweet of your hubby. Wishing you well on getting more walking in. How is your best buddy doing?

@lislisa123 - Happy Birthday!

@Katmary71 - Oh my goodness you must have been in heaven finding deals on plant stuff. Sounds like the community garden is getting exciting too! I hope you can get your tooth fixed soon. So you are on the struggle bus with me? Keep me updated on how you are doing. I'm thinking of checking out Mayo Clinic next and also Vida as recommended by Troo

@vegan4lyfe2012 - I've been thinking of you and your fam as your beautiful new granddaughter had surgery. Hope she is home and doing well now.

Haven't been saying much because not much going on here. DS came over yesterday and we had a cookout and played games. That was nice. Per Noom tracking, my eating seems pretty decent- it was good to learn that from another source. I've been doing better with step aerobics- it's not flaring up my hip anymore. I have lost cardiac endurance through this whole process, so I am working on that. We have new neighbors and the kids like to come over and chat when they are outside. Last week they "helped" DH rake. Then the oldest one said she had been watching Property Brothers and suggested that we spruce up our front porch by adding a table, a fountain and knocking down a brick wall. DH said he'd think about it.

Happy Sunday!

Lisa

Hi 👋

I had a good day yesterday! I did about 30 min on the treadmill and I also reached my step goal. I didn't drink my super greens, nor did I eat any vegetables. I'll get there!

I did learn that I have this terrible thing with procrastination. Yesterday, I didn't think about it, I just did it. I need to unlearn the procrastination. I believe it is a mind set thing. Time for me to do some research.

Chipper is doing good. We can't afford the surgery, so we are going to go with the pain regimen. I hate this, he deserves better. I feel like a bad dog mom.
