Hello from the Black hole in Texas!! First...I am alive. Second...I am remiss to have not checked in before this....has it been a month....quite possibly. Third...I went back like 6 pages but I am sure I have missed some important life events and just plain life stuff. I hope all of you are ok, working through the good and…

Hi all: I did a quick catch up. We were gone Fri-Mon visiting our son in NYC....kinda a farewell tour since he is moving back to Texas in a month. It rained hard for about 3 days but was nice our last day. A lot of walking, eating and sight seeing. We had a great time. Its such a cool city, so diverse. People are nice.…

@RunsOnEspresso They haven't kicked me out yet and I go awol often these days. Glad you are back and have a good plan. @rheddmobile Sounds like your mom checks many of the boxes for need for assistance. You are smart to recgonize your limitations. Some people can take that on and others can't. My sisters took it on for my…

Hello Runners! It's been way too long. I lost 20 days some how. Such a busy month. I had 10 Peloton friends that I had never met until last weekend, come to Austin for a meetup. Several had decided to try their first Spartan Race ( a national group that puts on obstacle course races around the county). So we all came…

Happy May Y'all.....when the heck did that happen? Where have I been? It just seems to fly by! I did a speed read here....You are all so strong....just keep dealing with life and moving on. I have been busy with work, my pup....still hanging in there, trying to offer help to the kids when they ask. I am spending too much…

Good morning all. Not quite ready to take on Monday but here it is so I shall have too! @swenson19d sorry about the birthdays and tears....it has gone by so fast.....this whole year was blur. I have also never heard anyone regret the HR....once they get past the rehab, it was such an improvement. I will most likely someday…

Happy Humpday People! It's been way too long. I was up at 5 am today with my coughing pup (also at 3 am) so I decided I needed to check in here. I hate going weeks. So much is happening. I did a quick read so I feel caught up. @ddmom0811 I totally relate to the funk. I find my attitude moves with the news cycle of the day.…

Yay....made it past Monday, my least favorite day of the week. @quilteryoyo The puppies are so cute!!!! Probably great therapy for your mom too....they make everyone feel good! And you must eat Oreos if its an open package! And you have earned a few with all that awesome yard work. @Avidkeo Love your confidence! You know…

Good morning peeps! @quilteryoyo Sorry to hear about your neighbor....go nice that you can help out with the pups! @RunsOnEspresso Shoulders suck....so many small moving parts....have they done and MRI? I hope you get answers. I have also heard that estrongen affects joints as you age. One of my friends (former Ballet…

Good morning all! I have been out of pocket dealing with work stuff and my old pup....she is coughing and fainting a lot.....the vet thought possibly Congestive heart failure but now not sure. Her trachea is collapsing.... she is almost 16 so I am not keen on doing a lot of cardiologist testing....she seems ok for most of…

Great news!!! She got her first choice - UT McGovern in Houston. It's located within walking distance to some of the world's top medical research organizations. She is over the moon and I am so happy that her hard work has been rewarded! Lot's of kids who were jus as deserving got no matches. I am heartbroken for them too.…

Happy Thursday Y'all ( @RunsOnEspresso - I too am using this more. Took me awhile but it does make it easier) Read through all of the posts....appreciate everyones advice on the hip stuff. I think a good second opinion is in order. The shot didn't seem to do much unfortunately after days 2-5, but it feels slightly better…

Good morning to all of you from the Energy Capital of the US. Please not the sarcasm in my voice. We finally made it back from Chicago on Friday. We had flights cancelled sunday-Thursday. Came home to a house with power (we were lucky) but no water, as the pumping station for our water supplier had no power. My daughter…

I totally apologize to all!! I have not checked in a week at least So we left for Chicago Friday am until Sunday - work/ visit best friends . Then Snovid 19 hit TX! What a 💩 show. We had our flights cancelled Sunday, Monday Wednesday, nothing tomorrow and hopefully for tomorrow. My daughter and sister are at our house dog…

Good morning! I feel like I had a productive Saturday....I cleaned out my pantry because it was out of control. I am embarrassed to admit that I threw away 2 large bags of old expired foods. Some dated 2012. I literally missed 9 years along the way - I blame parenthood. I am also incredibly lazy and regressing from…

Good morning ladies! @eleanorhawkins My husband can be a pain in the derriere too sometimes....he doesn't always like a non meat meal but I am trying to have at least one a week....He will cook when he has time but it means i am getting pasta or something heavy. @quilteryoyo I love the 2.2 math!! so cool. We had a similar…

Happy February Fools Day to all! Welcome @eleanorhawkins and @noblsheep. I am back into tracking which I haven't done for a long time....managed to stay within 5 lbs of goal weight. But now, I am focused on strength and recomping to gain lean muscle as I try to stave off bone density issues. That being said, I am really…

@quilteryoyo Have you ever tried meditation? I ask because I am starting to do it more - so much science supports it for brain health. But I have discovered sleep meditations on the Peloton app. I listen before I go to sleep and I never make it past 5 minutes in a 10 min one hahaha. They just are so calming and it forces…

Hi Peeps: I got my bike last March after being diagnosed with a femoral neck stress fracture from running and or bone issues. I was a runner only. Tried the Peloton and decided that after losing 20 lbs and not having a gym or running, I needed something. I haven't looked back. Found a fun group called The Tour - we do long…

Hey @shanaber Your bread porn pics are amazing. I am such a sourdough fan. It became my pandemic guilty pleasure. One of the fun restaurants here is called Easy Tiger - a german beer garden with good sammies, sausages etc. To deal with the pandemic shutdown, they started making and selling their bread and starter at the…

Hello Ladies: I have been out of the loop but just read all the past weeks posts. Work has been a series of firedrills as there is an offer on to buy one of the properties so I am doing a lot of disclosure work. This is usually a slow week where I can do clean up work from year end but not so far. Also found out that my…

@quilteryoyo So impressed with your rapid recovery....you made it look easy! @RunsOnEspresso I like that....going for good enough! Perfection is dangerous.....I let it derail me all too often. @avidkeo Keep going - hit that first goal and you are there! Great work! @swenson19d Hope you get the kitty....very cute. And I…

Good morning all! It's Monday I think! My weekend was crazy with the endurance challenge called PeloFundo. I am nuts and fully embrace the cray cray....these people keep me laughing or I'd prolly be crying haha. @quilteryoyo You are a model patient and its a testament to how great of shape you are in from running, Tennis,…

Good morning all! TGIF. Positive thoughts for an excellent outcome for @quilteryoyo 's surgery today. @rheddmobile sorry to hear about your kitty. Our lil pup had to be put down a year ago with kidney failure as well. She was down to 5 lbs from 14. Still trying to be happy but it was hard to watch her and I didn't want her…

@avidkeo you are killing it....keep it up @swenson19d The European enemy! Lol! I love your goals. Not to get too political....these days everything is political so oh well. I am shocked at how we as country have treated the native american tribes. Just awful and in an inhumane way. They should be high up on the list for…

Happy New Years all! Sorry about your cousin @quilteryoyo I hope he recovers properly. Prayers for him! @swenson19d I think laying low and ordering stuff online is smart. I like the room layout. Sometimes change is a good thing. @avidkeo that hike looked awesome. And congrats on the run and the weight. Keep it going -…

Good morning ladies! It's been a busy week at work as my boss was on a rampage trying to reconciles expenses for all of his tenants. I generally don't work this week and my son is in town till sunday but I had to get stuff done. @quilteryoyo You have so much happening. I am so glad you will co-execute the will. They are…

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all of you! @swenson19d Sorry to hear about you and the fam. hopefully it just runs its course and is not bad. Its such an odd virus the way it affects everyone differently. @quilteryoyo My husband and daughter have gotten into puzzles during Covid. I got them one for Christmas and so did…

Good morning all: @swenson19d I can't believe they think you should have come in. People have died from this silliness. Tell them that. @Avidkeo Totally agree about recovery. I feel that way from hard workouts. That is one of the main things I notice with my Peloton friends who are in their 30s and 40s....they recover so…

@quilteryoyo I hope it went as well as could have been expected and while you're mourning, you are at peace knowing that your dad is up in heaven, singing those gospel songs <3
