HEATHER I visited Hove & Brighton once about 10 years ago, staying w friends. It was a blustery, cool, sunny day one of the days, and I walked from Hove to Brighton, and there was that run that you have today. Brighton was really charming with all the alternative-ish, arty, vegetarian-y shops and places.

hi all, looks like yesterday's down was fluctuation; :/ spent about 35-40 slow on stationary bike this morning while watching SNL clips (some good clips, some lame, IMHO). Danced for a while yesterday evening at home. I used to go to dance classes weekly some years ago, and some weekend and weeklong workshops, certainly…

Weight ups and downs ponderings

Had spontaneous dinner at home yesterday. About every 2 weeks or so I grab a bite with a friend and this time logistically it was more practical to grab a bite in my neck of the woods. Since it was snowy out we ended up eating in, very spontaneously. I didn't have much around: a few seeds for snack and some fortified wine…

Thanks for starting us off Barbie... Michèle I'm sorry about LOKI :'(

Hi to everyone !

Betsy I am so sorry for your loss

Happy birthday barbie. Regular life is à whirlwind! Hello to all

yesterday I got home early and I was sooooooooooooo tired and crashed even if the day was not full on...

thanks for the well wishes btw!

My covid test is negative and I'm just regular tired... :) :| :) a friend offered to meet up this evening for an hour and I declined. I'm more and more declining; ...

@Michèle it's difficult to give online classes so I think I'll go to class with mask (no longer required otherwise). I think there's a medium chance I have covid. A lot of people have mild cases at present, since they removed mask mandates a week ago. I was for 1h face to face talking w someone in a small office last…

sleepy... don't know if it's covid and should give in to rest or mild laziness to resist...

I'm a "contact" for someone who had COVID. I was an hour with someone Tuesday in a small room about 1 meter apart (not more), not eating... she tested negative 2 days later, then positive yesterday evening. I just read it on sms this morning. I think with OMICRON it's very contagious and there's a good chance that I got…

Not a great day to start.

GINNY I'm sorry you have those foot issues. Thank you for explaining that.

PIP, I agree with you. Better to know. I can understand th flip side, wanting to wait for an appointment so a dr can explain it fully answer questions, and also to to leave people who are very alone with a simple 1 minute call and no conversation with anyone for days or weeks, but I'm with you on this one.

@Luannelizabeth thanks for the foot tip!

Thank you GINNY! much better today. in "my café" the other day the manager said you don't look very happy or upbeat or something. this is very acceptable and caring thing to say. we chat a lot, and I THINK in France on average it's more okay to say when one or the other is not in top form than in the usa. (insert long…

VICKIE thanks for your kind thoughts. Had a few glasses of store bought carrot juice this evening. as many calories as halotop but must be healthier!

Reading and skimming today. So tired.

OUTING TODAY I called the friend I was possibly to meet, so hopefully we can meet Friday... I am in kind a a bad mood so thought better to meet when I'm in a better mood to not be a downer but he was kinda in a bad mood too and thought possibly we could cheer one another up...but I really prefer to wait a couple of days. I…

Overly busy few days. I was hustling a lot to find a teacher for a few weeks in a time slot no one had free. Finally was able to get a young Phd student. Had to spend about an hour or two showing her the ropes/training but she's very motivated and will be fine. I recommended her to a friend for a tiny job and the friend…

(((Debbie))) (((Pip))) (((Katla))) (((anyone else who needs a hug))) BARBARA yeah for housecall it's surprising. also covered by health care coverage. I have called a few times over the decades, usually when there is a moderate scare to check out in evening or weekend and appointment is impossible, when couldn't get an…

Eating richly. Rich pastry for lunch. On the upside it was tasty. I put it down for 500 c. So hard to gage. Lots of clean and chocolate. :o Hummm. Skimming as usual. Miss a couple of days here and ..... Yesterday off. Skipped breakfast. Nearly double lunch. Little movement Awry. Hi to everyone.

EMERGENCY doctors numbers. We have that too here: 15. You often have to wait a bit Then sos medicine if you need a house call. The 15 ones seem fairly good. So medicin very so so...but better than nothing and all covered. We now have doctolib. Online uberization doctors booking. You can either book your usual doctor or see…

HEATHER sorry about your cancellation. It could be à fin from the company if they say all ports are closed due to covid scores but no trace of that online. Maybe due to rising costs of fuel? Or projected fuel shortages ? Spain may be à haïr closer than a tour of Italy? Or them grouping 2 trips...?

HEATHER lovely that you dug him up and gave him a smile. Busy days. Skimming.... Only 200 c left and it's 14h45... I feel tired which often makes me nibbly.... Staying on track may b challenging..... .. Apparent success in a tiny thing at work. Yay! OK....bz

tracked these past days. almost zero movement yesterday (3,000 Steps! and nothing else). not a great day but oh well. today is full of work etc w appointments outside home from 9am to 8pm... so just in little steps from here to there I get in quite a few...3700 so far but need to go to X and then to Y and then back home.…

(((PIP)))) I can relate to wanting pictures. You seem like a "bite out of life" sort of person and I think you have everything on your side to heal well. HEATHER Wow, I don't think I could bear so much drama at this age! I hope she fares better in her next steps and visits. What French film did you watch? Nice about the…
