    Heather: That must have been such a worry. And such a shame for that small community to lose the vineyards that they depend on.
    Rebecca: I hope the ginger/peppermint keeps working.

    We have a wet front moving through this morning, but a high front is pushing it north, so next week should be relatively dry. Today I will do my usual local shopping run for fresh produce after I have put the laundry away.

    Tomorrow we are going to visit DED to say goodbye to granddaughter who is flying back to Oxford on Monday after a 10 day break here.

    🤗🤗🤗 and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for those who need them.

    Machka: I have never heard of silver amalgam. It sounds horrible.

    Rosemarie — do you have a silver-coloured filling in any of your teeth? That's silver amalgam. It's been the go-to filling material for 150 years (according to Google).

    But more recently, they've started to use a better composite filling which can be tinted the colour of the tooth. It's not quite as strong as the old silver amalgam fillings but that's probably better too.

    Sue ~ Congrats on getting your Y exercise in.

    Rosemarie ~ Thanks for checking in! Going on a cruise sounds exciting. And, hope your interest in writing flourishes.

    Rebecca ~ Glad you are using common sense regarding your eating. From what you are saying, you are recognizing a course that suits you.

    Barbara ~ Love Tumble's Forest. That fluffy hair waving in the breeze is cute.

    Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD,

    I will use that plastic wrap trick on my yogurt to extend the life of my container.👍🏼 Thanks!

    I am finding much relief these days, with the peppermint tablets. I don't know if I should be taking them daily or if I should take it when symptoms happen. My rule of thinking is that the peppermint oil components will help daily with my digestion process. I will give it a week or so. I don't see the doctor until 22nd of next month for an evaluation on things. I think I will have a lot to chat about with him. I also need to get on some sort of regiment for acid reflex at night. I am burping a lot! Its also one of the side effects of Zepbound.

    May Scottie dog have a sleepover tonight? I got his favorite dog biscuits an everything!

    I am on 5 mg dose, but I seem to be acclimating ok. I need to realize that my (bm schedule) is definitely slowed and I don't need to be so worried if I don't go every day. I am still on a downward trend weight wise so 5 mg seems to be working.

    Lanette-I’ve made hummus many times. It’s one of my go-tos when guests come as I always have the ingredients. Use canned beans. Drain them, but reserve the juice for thinning if needed. I think the food processor is the key.

    Mo-The busses are maybe slightly better now, only because they added “express” routes. To get downtown, which is about 6 miles, we walk 1 mile to the stop, take the express bus for 25 mins and usually have to walk at least half mile to our destination. So, not much better.

    Heather-so sorry to hear of your step daughter. Glad she’s OK.

    Happy birthday, Kim.

    Glad you’re feeling better, Rebecca.

    too hot.JPEG

    Well THAT was a mistake. Took Mooch with me to pick up D and go to the Pirates of the Pacific Festival. Too many people. TOO HOT. Quick scan of the booths, found a seat in the shade on the concrete (cooler for Mooch than the asphalt), sat, drank an iced mocha and chatted with D ‘til her DH arrived, then home fast as I could. Feeling a little nauseated, headachy and shaky, not sure if it’s the heat, the caffeine or both. The upside is that I’m not in the least bit hungry… ;}

    Barbie, thank you for recommending Burkeman’s Meditations for Mortals. I’m only on day 4 but already can feel the fatal perfectionism weakening its choking grasp. Wow. Wouldn’t have believed it possible.

    @hera1065 Sharon, that little bell notification drove me nuts so I turned off almost all notifications in my iPhone’s Settings. That way I can check in with the community when I have time to scan, or read and respond. ((hugs))

    Sue “chair yoga followed by water exercise”? I’d be tired too. That’s why I’m so glad I quit Classic Fit classes on the same day as Line Dancing. Chair Yoga on alternate days works much better for me.

    Rosemarie Brava for getting that overdue colonoscopy. Praying the polyps were all benign.

    Lisa does that emoji mean you’ve been painting? Hope recreationally not home maintenance-wise…

    Carol, yah it is cute, but it also is Velcro, brings in all the fir cones and needles she passes by ;{

    Rita I could not survive your weather. (gentle glancing light hugs not held at all)

    Heather “double portion of Joan Hickson” I’m jealous!

    Lanette, the computer guy who sold me Joe’s new-to-him windows laptop said “Don’t turn it off, just close the cover. It will sleep but also get needed updates. Will save start up time.” So hard not to start/shutdown, that habit is so very ingrained in me, but not, fortunately, in Joe.

    Annie welcome back to your healthy routine!

    Carla such a nuisance to reject reject reject, but that’s what to do…

    Rebecca, you’re spoiling Scotty! ;) Think no harm to take peppermint daily for a trial period to prevent the miseries…

    Allie hope the APRN has good recommendations. You must be so weary of feeling sick.

    Tina aha, that may have been my issue, no food processor!

    Action for happiness
    9-Thank all you wise wonderful women on this thread. When I’m missing my BFF, I can turn to you all.

    OMG room progress – Keyboard still clear! Likewise worktable, but just barely after big scramble to find box for sending old newspapers to K.

    Still feeling punky so headed back to bed. Will get up later and make cucumber salad (skipping the marinated green beans) for fellowship. Not perfect but good enough!

    Later, lighter, lovelies!

    August focus: 5 minutes just looking and thinking about the OMG room. Really.
    2025: Chose NOW: to move more than yesterday (see action plan), fuel better than yesterday (hold that after dinner sweet down to two pieces of dark chocolate max), open heart and mind before mouth

    Today I waited a bit long to eat something. As I was preparing some musubi's I was light headed, and jittery. The 11 am protein iced coffee shake deal was kicking in, me thinks! Also sipped on regular coffee too. Aack! My musubi was just white rice, two thin slices of fried low sodium spam cooked in teriyaki sauce made into two bars using a plastic wrap lined empty spam container. Then I wrap the bar in nori seaweed. I let them sit wrapped in plastic wrap so the nori molds to the rice a bit. It was delightful.

    Tonight will be some yogurt, granola and some peach slices drizzled with honey. Making French toast and sausage links for husband.

    Sipping a Sparkling Ice grapefruit drink.

    😀 Barbara, I've read "Meditations for Mortals" and listened to it twice and will probably listen again before long. I need a lot of repetition of the good ideas to improve my life.

    'Meditations for Mortals' is on the UK Kindle store right now for 99p. I bought it. It never hurts to revisit wise ideas. 🤗 Don't know about the US site, but worth a look. At that price!

    I think I might walk down to the sea this morning as a moving meditation. 😊

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx
