    Barbie, at line dance class last week, our stand-in teacher revived “Wave on Wave”, saying, you all know this one, right? Yah, I did back in Boise 20 years ago, but couldn’t dredge it out of long ago memories…

    Rebecca Vaseline is my backside’s friend… just sayin’ You’re stuff is just stuff is another reminder that people and their feelings are more important that getting “things.” Awesome BP, well done!

    Tracey Brava for walking again, a little longer and a little farther. Not a sprint but a marathon. Well done! ((hugs)) for crying and begging your “mom” to please just stay. ((hugs))

    Heather your “they'd better read it first…” made me laugh out loud. Couldn’t finish your first book, was too disturbing. Will try again another time.

    Carol the hardest part was that Mama thought she was doing me a favor, “organizing” those photos. 😢 Brava for doing your PT exercises. Hope the soreness eases and they help soon. If they don’t make you feel better/stronger/more flexible/more stable after 3 weeks, tell the physical therapist, s/he may have to adjust or try others. You are doing your part to help heal, bravissima! What is the little emoji below your post on pg 25? A little body wiped flat out?

    Lanette, it may be that Mama DID do me a favor, I have no one to pass photos on to, no children who spent hours looking at the scrapbooks. Would you share the new Muck shoes you choose? My wellies are hard and cracked. New Winco store? I am sooooo jealous!!! Great prices, well worth their no credit card policy and bagging your own.

    Lisa I too am waiting for it to get a little warmer before tackling the many outside chores, 50s and 30-50 mph winds make me want to curl up and read. Just watched the video, you GO gal!

    Allie you are blessing Sean by lending him an ear and a shoulder. Please let it be no more than that, it’s exhausting enough! ((hugs)) about Buddy.

    Rita so glad you are going back to Al-Anon, especially in preparation for your son’s transition from rehab to sober housing. ((hugs))

    Carla you are very gifted. That card is beautiful!

    Margaret so glad your patience was rewarded and you didn’t have the IRS glitch hanging over your Art in Bloom celebration of your friend’s birthday. Not raiding the potato chip bag? Bravissima!!! Totally agree about moderation and doing your own research.

    Debbie does your Mom still have that woman living with her?

    Ginny your calm is so admirable, you model “good patient”. ((hugs))

    Michele could the red cleaning cloths be to avoid cross contamination of the vegetables you prepare from the (yellow?) chicken or (blue?) meat that others do? Thought you said something about Vince not wanting to cover for the ceramics guy. Guessed (wrong) he was hinting to you that you should do it ;) Your frozen orange juice concentrate (12 oz) and (32 oz) yogurt pops sound yummy, will make some this summer.

    Machka that looks like what we called “crabgrass” when we lived in Ukiah. It truly is an ugly monster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitaria

    Beth you’ll quickly recover from that 3 lb blip.

    @pamiede Congratulations for taking off those three pounds. You’re right, consistency is key!

    Rosemarie, you were prepared!

    Kim as fulfilling as it is to figure out how, I find myself at 75 only too grateful when someone tall sees me struggling and reaches past me for the liquid dish soap I can’t quite get. ;)

    Ack! Totally slipped my mind to take Tumble in for her annual senior well pet exam yesterday after chiropractor. It was there on my calendar, I just didn’t check it. Ungh.

    That’s why I usually only schedule one appointment per day, if I can.

    Only through pg 26 but been sitting too long. Time to put on my warm clothes, stocking cap and gloves to take Mooch and Shadow to dog group. Brr.

    Later, lighter, lovelies!
    Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD

    April focus: OMG room
    2025: Chose NOW: to move more than yesterday (drop everything and dance!), fuel better than yesterday (maintain better than 50% AF days/month, reduce after dinner sweets to one piece of dark chocolate), open heart and mind before mouth

    Thanks Carol! I appreciate that!💖👍🏼

    I have talked with him on the phone, made him laugh so glad I could lift his spirits with stories etc.

    The weather is dull an damp again. Not much planned except to tidy up my Creative Writing piece for tomorrow morning, and Skype with family after lunch.

    Lisa, my husband and I have the same timing issue, but the other way around. On weekends and holidays, he usually gets up early (8 am-ish) while I sleep and sleep and sleep. 😴😴 It does shorten the time we can spend doing stuff together, but in some ways that's good. We each get space.

    Last day of my holiday today and I spent most of it in the garden digging out some of that grass to create the rose garden space. Yes, I was using the mattock again and yes, my whole upper body wants to have a word with me now about all the exercise today.

    But, we bought 2 more rose bushes a few days ago, so I felt like I should get busy and create the space for them.

    I'm slowly gaining the proper perspective on things. Once I bawled my eyes out from the emotions of it all, him by himself at a hospital, I could see straight. He's not dying, he's just dealing with a Crohn's flare up. He will get to feeling better. I need to be strong for him.💖👍🏼

    Well every day is a bit better,went and picked up orders from Walmart and Sams..with Doris,then dropped her off and went and picked up Sean and got him some lunch and we went to Dollar General and he picked up a few things,but also stopped at the package store for root beer and a couple nippers.. this is not easy for me,and im not making excuses for him,but sheesh I dropped him off and no sooner had I left ,Jean showed up and took can openers,and shampoo, bath towels ,basically anything she damn well wants.. Sean just doesn't know what to do..he is working odd jobs with a couple buddies, but no prospect of anywhere to live..so there is that..

    Im going to get some info on social services in town for him..I can only do so much,and I don't think having him living here with me would be the best idea.
