Hi All- I hunkered in for the weekend and read a book about FTD from a spouses POV- the wife, it was heartbreaking and so many things were just like my life and Rick's behviour - the pieces are falling into place even if the dr's don't do the diagnosis. It took a lot of pressure from the wife to get her husband's diagnosis…

Hello Everyone, Sorry I've been absent since before vacation- it was nice but def different. We've had the MRI which showed nothing, but since then I've learned with FTD the changes to the brain are pin pricks and don't present the change like Alzheimer's. I've read the dr notes from the memory clinic from last year and…

hi everyone, Bert the bird rescuer- it has a nice ring to it. Nice fit pit and the smore looked delish Paula- the kitchen looks great- do you have an estimated time of completion? Patti, I'm so glad you enjoyed the MacLellan Sisters- its a compliment when you say you couldn't read them slowly - lol Janet, Diane and Karla -…

Hello everyone. I know it has been 97 posts since I've checked in for that I'm sorry. So much is happening on the home front. Rick will have a CT scan next Friday- then we go to Maine for a week. When we come back it's the neurologist and then his primary after that. I've been talking with my primary contact at the memory…

Hi All, I hosted Emma's second bday- need to get pics on FB as she was so cute. I found a Minnie Mouse dress and shoes ang sunglasses- she was in heaven! Our next appt at the memory clinic is Monday- so some of the wait is almost over- primary dr 8/5 then we wait for the neurologist. I do plan to ask the Dr on Monday about…

Hello- Checking in. So far I'm on plan- lol but its only 11 AM- Menopause does stink Paula - who would have thought PMS for Post PMS - lol Anyway just hopping on to say HI We'll chat again soon Cindy

Hi All, Bert I'm glad to hear you fridge saga may be coming to an end. My garden is not doig that great- radishes never produced fat round gems- just roots- tomatoes are few- plants just don't seem to be growing- lettuce is ok, cucs flowered but so far plants are small I just dont' know what is going on this year. Patti-…

Hi All, first I have read all the posts and appreciate being in everyone's thoughts :) made my day. Thank you to all for helping with the cover war- I wasn't able to check the site at 759 so I have no idea who won- I'm guessing it wasn't me since I don't have an email announcing my new PR package. Oh well better luck next…

HI All, Well back to the corporate world tomorrow- I've really enjoyed this week off - If you're on FB Blue, book 3 is in a cover contest with 9 other books Its free to vote and you don't need to register and you can vote every 24 hours until Sunday at 8 AM. I'd love your support, it gets me a bunch of free publicity in…

Good Morning All - As I take a deep breath and have actually time to post- releasing the 3 books within 5weeks has been a monumental task on top of the biz trip to Columbus- dinner with the New President and now we've been working around the house- updating the bathroom with new paint and vanity- on top of that my Dad has…

Good Morning Everyone- So busy getting ready for the weekend. I had to break down and buy some nice summer clothes that fit properly and are comfortable and cute. Check that off my list. I just found out I'm supposed to be there by 3 on Thursday to help give away gift cards that I sponsored. So now working on how I'm going…

Hi All- Quick drive by- I've been super busy lately and no excuses but just working all the time, Jasper continues to improve but very slowly- he still goes 2x month to the underwater treadmill. My best guess another year before he is really walking "normal" but I'm okay with that he is such a sweet boy and even now is…

Hi everyone, Janet- wonderful news, sending you a virtual hug! Bert- sorry about the frig and lake issues :) but you'll work it all out Paula- like Patti, I'd love to be in the fray at your new house. It was always fun to cut and rebuild Patti- did you get my email about Cincinnati? Can't wait to hug you in person! I've…

Hello All- Yes I'm still here- I'm cancer free- biopsy came back clear. Thank you God! Still have many balls in the air but moving them as best I can. Pushing hard for author stuff- Was rejected by Carina- which I'm fine with as I discussed my books with a few other publishers and they tell me I write women's fiction with…

Hi All- sorry I've been MIA - again, things have been busy and tonight I have some downtime as I've been in Boston at a writing conference. A very nice break. I'm totally off the rails with not tracking- but still trying be mindful. Sounds we are all doing the best we can do each day. I have to have a small surgery on the…

Hi All, Sorry for the MIA- I didn't take a laptop with me last week- food was not so hot but I just spent time tracking all that I remember. Best I could do. Work was fine- Meg was great! Don't have time for personal but read all. Keep up the good fight ladies. Welcome Home Patti Cindy

Hi All, I've gotten in a couple of good days of movement - eating has been so-so but I'm still working at it. Giving into the sweets I think cuz I'm in denial that I shouldn't be eating them if that makes sense. Business trip to Columbus this week- bonus Dinner and lunch with Meg. I leave way before dawn on Tuesday back…

Quick stop- need to go for an ultrasound- following up and the endometrial hyperplasy- I think that is right. I've drank to much, I can already tell GRRR Patti safe travels.... Does anyone have any experience with doing a round of progesterone for something like this- lining is too thick. I want to avoid surgery if…

Hi All I finally got the fitbit synced with MFP- victory for today....I'm returning the other tracking, going back to old faithful. Need to run but that was on my to-do list for today- yeah! Cindy

Just a quick Hello- CIndy

Hi All, Quick drive by- for the first time in my entire adult life I'm paying taxes- grrr I hate the tax changes- Anyway, all is status quo here. The tracker isn't syncing to my phone and it said yesterday I didn't walk at all- I went cheap on Amazon and it will be going back. No time for personals but thinking of each of…

HI Everyone, I rode with my brother and his wife for Dad's- Rick didn't go. Which was fine- I had a good time despite realzing the battle with his declinging health will win- I pray he has a heart attack and goes quickly and doesn't let the emphysema suffocate him. Sorry for being graphic, but I'm freaking angry - and then…

Morning All my Lovely Friends, Well the nutrionist was a bit baffled- but now I have to commit to some sort of exercise. With Spring almost here there is no excuse- 150 mins cardio- which is walking or biking outside and then 3 session of some upper body strength training to get the flabby muscles back in shape. I see her…

HI Ladies, Diane- thanks for the pep talk- I see Erin, the food guru tomorrow. I'm weighing myself weekly- so annoyed. Hopefully Erin can shed some light but I'm guessing its move more. At least the weather is improving. Rick is about the same and still refusing medical help. I can't throw a rope around him and MAKE him…

HI All, Well I gained back the 1 pound I lost- grrr - I see the nutrionist again soon. Patti- you made me laugh about Ohio- you and Meg are on the same page. It would be much easier to make a decision if I could pack up Em too. I pray Frankie will make a speedy recovery. Karla- please let me know if you see the ad for the…

Hi All, The day ended as it began- not stellar but the funny thing I came WAY under in calories go figure. Eating better today already. Need to start editing. I was finally able to get the Loudon Series ad live on Amazon- took weeks but I'm persistent. Now back to Blue- and still waiting on Carina, To be honest I think…

HI All- Today my eating is way off... just tracked and I'm like really chick- what the heck are you eating today- half a turkey sandwich for breakfast and 3 cookies for lunch. SO not balanced. It is an LR weekend- can you hear me squeal? Rick is off doing some race thing and I have the house to myself- He'll be home to…

HI everyone, A quick check in- I had boboli pizza for dinner last night after my walk- way to many carbs in one sitting- onward. Felt a tad off this AM- what was I thinking? LOL I had earned it. Lesson learned. Today is a new day. Hope everyone has a great one. Cindy

Hi All, It took all day but I made it- tracked, walked and drank all my water. I have no idea if the scale is moving or not- I haven't been feeling empty so I doubt it. Janet- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Patti- congrats on the loss this week. I'll be the owl was lovely and majestic Karla- Onward- :) Diane- Some day are better than…

Hi All, Another day in the neighborhood- I walked yesterday after work despite the biting wind- but it was 45 minutes and I was happy I did it. I have "given" myself a couple of work days a week I can have chocolate mid day it worked last week and so far this week. Yeah me. Diane you asked about the day job- things are…
