(Spoiler)

queasy stomach. I have had queasy stomach often over past week or so. a lot of my friends and colleagues seem to be getting bugs in the past week or two. hypothesis : we were super-protected from one another over months and years and now there is a bit more mixing and we are catching things... and it's been a bit cool…

Hmmm discovering the new format. Not a fan of the white. A shame that easy spoiler option is no longer there. presumably there are sup up sides ? I think a much bigger choice of emojis offered? and ....🤔😯🙂🌎️ Julie, France

MACHKA I do to do lists too. thanks for that post. I like the part about giving specific instructions to your future lazy (or tired or distracted..) self. TRACEY I'm so sorry about your work stuff. that is really upsetting. ALLIE that stinks about the long wait. What will you do during the wait time? Julie, France

Hi OK day. Morning in café not grreat work but tried. Lunchtime dentist. Very uncomfortable new sort of thing to keep lips from teeth... when getting out i joked i was traumatized. It was not the drilling or the diddling with teeth but this new guard. I told them and they said im not alone in having this experience. It…

got some positive looking opening on worker's rights thing we've been working on for over a year.

MARGARET nice about the gifts from DH. unwanted gifts: give or toss. Your 1st friend was probably well intentioned but not thinking well. The second maybe you could say point blank, I would love to get together but with husband in stage 4 cancer I have more work than I can manage and am overwhelmed so I'm sad to say I have…

HEATHER awesome about your radio show. Sorry it was postponed but that gives more time to notify potential future listeners if you have the time.

Machka I liked the Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. hi big insomnia last night. not my best week sleep wise. Sleep all over the place. I didn't track yesterday. I'm going to try to track from memory... I cleaned 15 min yesterday. (kitchen and some ironing).

BARBARA I had never heard of king's tide! that's like a very high tide right ? Julie France

Was at my café for a good 4 - 5h reading and taking notes related to work. A bit complicated and not encouraging (long story!) but I'm doing my best. I have to go back and go through. A bit discouraging actually but aiming to be courageous! Not very! got a halo top ice cream and ate it and took a bath and now am under the…

BARBARA Thanks ! Sounds like a nice get together outside in nature. HEATHER Wow you're a hero for that family!

KATLA so glad the PT went well! HEATHER Who ! so Alexa has a preference for POSH ? that's a hoot! Welcome all the newcomers ! feeling a bit better. I had been under the weather for a few days.

slept about 4h yesterday but worked okay. only about 2h last night now I'm having a hard time staying awake and a hard time working. yesterday was a good work day but today feels like a bust. belly ache again - had 4 pieces of high protein dry bread. (about 24g per piece) for very late breakfast today.

TRACEY: agreed one day off every 2 weeks may not be enough. VICIKI: I love your daughter's multi-coloured hair! MACHKA: 4 days a week seems good HEATHER: Great about your steps on your book KATLA often PT people are very gentle and understanding in my experience. BARBARA and BETH: congratulations on the SV!

GAS PRICES: In France it's the equivalent of about 7.50 US dollars per gallon. Italy's prices are slightly higher. Julie, France

Heather awesome for the hovarian Barbara sorry about the up. I am alas also in that general direction. courage and strength in going from cookies to yogurt (most days?) Machka oo! love the irises hmmm not in top gear today. I did do overall replan but didn't do the long busy work of re organising nor did I do the less…

weight is not going in the right direction. writing is plugging along. I aim for up to 8 hours a day but often it's less. Today I did some pre-writing work for maybe 30-60 min in the early hours. I had to print, fill out, scan, send some related admin stuff, and correct and resend another not received. And composed a list…

BARBIE Thanks for starting us off and setting up the framework for exchange as always! So precious! LISA again congratulations for the SV! MACHKA great job on the to do list! You are really tending to your health. BARBARA I hope you feel better after a rest. HEATHER Very rare tuna is great too. MICHELE your cat is lucky to…

signed a lease w a new renter yesterday. his dad owns 3 or 4 rental appartments and I have never seen someone so thorough in inventory: every nick was mentioned (example the tiniest chip off plastic in inside of fridge doo, mush less than a square centimetre, noted... So it took longer than usual. But there is much upside.…

we still get legal notices and many (not most but still many) bills by the post.

MARGARET I'm sorry about that.That's a bummer about the paint and dust. `with all you have to worry about. HEATHER was the tuna raw or cooked. (in sesame and wasabe that makes me think of sushi) WONKY SLEEP Thursday I slept only about 3h, Friday about 6, which is okay. then Saturday at about 7pm I could barely keep my eyes…

KIM ginger tea is a good idea, lighter than bread and crackers. BETH I'm glad your leg is progressing. I'm sorry about your family's, behavior. You don't deserve that. FLEA that sounds unpleasant for the wig. I can understand your not wanting to wear it. VICKI happy anniversary!

canceled dinner w friend. needed to rest and not eat. I've eaten mostly dry crackers and dry bread and bananas and a couple of apples today - due to funky stomach. anyone ever do that with funky stomach...? CI okay

Is there a maximum sick leave? Do you dislike the look of the wig or the feel of it or both or something else. My MIL had a wig and she got this strong auburn bob, (at around 70) and she seemed to enjoy it. She was quite into appearance - and was pretty put together appearance-wise overall. I think it was fun for her to…

Flea, that's more or less my take on it

worked on writing for about 3.5 hour or so - probably more like 3:15 subtracting interruptions; was supposed to meet friend for dinner (and also counter working for a while) but I'm SO- SO SO tired. I feel like all I need to do right now is sleep. my friend has a lot of work right now too so I'm sure it's fine if we…

Terri all my condolences.

Hi, thanks to those who weighed in on the A-B convo Kim, Machka, Barbara, Tracey. that's clear! not good eating, cleaning, writing days past 2 days at least. they seem to often go together! maybe somewhat linked to discussion about routine. Writing Cleaning Eating On up side: went on stationary bike for 30 min this morning…

A. writes to lawyer about issue that A and B are looking at, puts B in copy B answers "Thanks for this message" A asks: "Is that an ironic thank you?" B answers : I am not ironic. If every time someone says something nice and you are suspicious or take it the wrong way, there is nothing to be done. That is the whole…
