So, in times of stress, I got a manicure and bought some new makeup. I reckon if I can feel better about myself I will get…

Antibiotics for pneumonia now finished. I am taking it slowly but getting better. Now up to over 9000 steps (but just fell asleep for an hour this evening).

How do you cope when eating out. I see my grandchildren each week, one day with grandsons (triplets parents need the help) and one day with one of the my granddaughters (I alternate each week).
