Hello! Gloria-I’ve been hearing about the Cicada’s. We get them but only a few. Growing up I would hear the noise they make but I never knew what it was from. Not until I was older. Our weather has finally warmed up. We worked outside on Sunday and I had a little too much sun so this week hasn’t been great for being out in…

Hello! Life has had many ups and downs lately. Trying to keep focused on my health and exercise. It’s been a rainy Spring. Hard to get things done but it is so green here too. Leaves are now showing on the trees. Need to get to the lake to see if there are apple blossoms yet. It’s hard to believe in a few days it will be…

Good Morning! Gloria-I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. Pain and not sleeping is tough. I’ve tried so many different things to try and get me to sleep. I finally found that if I take a THC Gummie before bed, I sleep at least 5 hrs straight which is a lot for me. I maybe got 2-3 with melatonin plus I’d end up with a…

Good Morning! I hope everyone is doing well. Aside from the rain we’ve had the last few days, it’s felt like Spring again. Yard work done last weekend. Leaves are coming out on the trees now. Grass is green and flowers are coming up. Greenhouses are starting to open up. It feels really good! Aside from last week, I’ve been…

Happy 1st of April! We’ve got snow today mixed with rain. No snow accumulations though. Huge snowflakes. I hope everyone’s Easter was nice. Ours was but again I over ate. Sugar is not my friend! I’m having such a hard time breaking this habit. I can do so well and then just like that I blow it. I’m frustrated to say the…

Good Morning! The weather here has been great for the most part. We need rain but every time it’s in the forecast, it ends up missing us. We could use a nice steady rain to wash away all of the salt. We are expecting a cool down for a couple of days. Hard to know if you should throw on a winter jacket, light jacket,…

Gloria-Do you have people coming in to help her at all? My MIL got forgetful and ended up doubling all of her meds. My BIL also installed cameras in the main part of the house so they could monitor her since she was falling. She loves where she is right now. Sorry about your ankle. I’m glad you can still walk and run on it…

It’s finally March! Feeling more and more like Spring! 70’s today. It looks like we may have had a few sprinkles but the sun is out. I hope you did alright with your sprained ankle. That really stinks. Taking care of aging parents is tough especially when they aren’t close by. So far my MIL is doing well and even sent out…

Good Morning! I hope you’re having a great February! For me it feels more like March and sometimes April. We had a couple very cold days but yesterday started our nicer temps again. Unfortunately we have that nasty wind that will make it feel colder than it actually is. This week my DH is in FL with his mom. They finally…

Good Morning! We had near 60 degree temps! Now reality is back and we’ve got 30’s which still isn’t too bad. The worst part is the wind. That makes it colder. Except for snow piles from parking lots, etc being plowed, all of our snow is gone. Along with most winter activities in the area. Skiing is still happening thanks…

Good Morning! We are having Springlike weather and I love it! Aside from the big snow piles, most of our snow is gone. I have a feeling we will see snow again but until then I’m going to enjoy it. The cold really affected me this year too. More than in the past. My inflammation hasn’t been good either. I wish there was…

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is doing well. We’re finally back to the above normal temps again. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes. That 1 and 1/2 weeks of no outdoor walking really was tough. Then to start it up again it felt like we hadn’t walked forever. Plus I had to throw on boots which aren’t broken in…

Good Morning! The Arctic air hit us along with snow and then a cold! I haven’t walked outside in a week. I can’t really say it’s a cold I have. Whatever it is it’s being made worse by the dryness inside. The air is so dry inside and out. Only a few more days of this and then we’ll be back to above normal temps. I’ve used…

Good Morning! We got our first snowfall of 2024 yesterday. We had no idea what to expect. Luckily we had maybe 2 inches. Right now the temps are considered above normal. That’s going to change come Friday thru early next week when temps should drop to below normal. So much for the 40’s and 50’s for now. I’ve been able to…

Good Morning! Gloria-so glad you made it home safe. That sounds very scary and so sad that so much was lost. Way to go on the running! It sounds like things are going well. I hope it continues for you. I can’t believe that tomorrow starts a new year. Christmas was nice for the most part. I did break down a couple of times.…

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a nice holiday. Although cloudy and at times rainy, it was nice here. Couldn’t beat the 50 plus degree days. It’s cooled down today and the rest of the week will be cooler but that’s ok. No snow! Since my hip replacement I’m ok with not having the snow. It means I can continue to…

Gloria-I hope you’re ok and weren’t in the path of the tornados today.

Good afternoon! Gloria-I’m glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. We did too. I don’t like late meals though. I don’t sleep well. It’s hard to not eat too much when you’ve pretty much been fasting all day. I managed to get my walking in but took Black Friday off because we were all going out for breakfast. Sadly I was still…

Good Morning! We’ve been having early fall weather. 60’s! 50’s for the weekend and then a drop to winter temps next week. Those 60 degree temps have been great! I have so much energy. I’ve finally gotten back on track. I’ve cut out sweets except for any occasion treat and I’m watching everything else I eat and I’m feeling…

Gloria-I’m sorry to hear about your father in law. It’s tough to lose a parent. I have not had any stomach issues since I stopped the Osteo bi flex except for the fact I still can’t eat any tomato based foods. Meaning pizza, spaghetti, etc. I can eat tomatoes though. Good thing there’s pizza now that is made without pizza…

Hello! Life has finally slowed down. This week has been pretty much a normal week. I’m walking the dogs most days. I like to take Sat. off and just enjoy the morning. Go to the Farmers market. When I’m not walking them due to rain or something, I try to get on the elliptical. I’m trying to save the treadmill for Winter.…

Good Morning everyone! I hope all is well. It has been a busy and stressful month. As much as I hate for October to come, my life should slow down then. Particularly the 2nd week. My sons wedding is next weekend. I really had a reality check this week. Trying to find a dress and really taking a good look in the mirror. It…

Good evening! We’re having a touch of Fall here. After 90’s and 100’s, it’s a welcome change. We could use a bit more sunshine though. Last week between the heat and working on my moms house, exercise wasn’t great. There were a few rest days which I can’t do. My rest days should just be shorter walks. Not any walks! This…

Good morning! Gloria- that stinks about all of the trees. They aren’t fun to have to take down and haul away. Our heat right now sounds a lot like yours. We have excessive heat warnings out this week. The feel like temp at 6 this morning was 86 and let me tell you, my short walk this morning felt like it. Also no rain in…

Good Morning! It’s been awhile I see since I last posted. We are still working on my moms estate. What a headache. I’ve learned a lot of things that I wish I would’ve known sooner. I know now though and I can pass these things on to my boys. I’ve also learned a lot about my mom’s dementia. I just don’t understand why Dr.s…

Good Morning! Gloria-sounds like you’re on the right track though. I always read that you’re supposed to slow down when the weather is like that. I think I remember also reading an article on Spark. The smoke was here for a few days. Thru the weekend. It was bad. Gone now. Morning temps have been in the low to mid 50’s.…

Good Morning! Another hot day ahead! I haven’t really done any running. By the time I’m done walking my dog, I’m hot and sweaty. Where we walk there’s little shade and he’s a big black dog so I’m not going to run him right now. We’ll try when it cools down. Gloria-the smoke hasn’t been bad the last week or so. I’m glad…

Good Morning! Summer has finally arrived! June is flying by so fast. It needs to slow down. I have been concentrating more on training my dog and less on the running right now. Plus we’ve had quite a bit of hit days and this air quality stuff from the Canadian fires. My mom isn’t doing great. She has some more tests coming…

Hello! Summer is finally here! We didn’t have much of a Spring but that was to be expected. 80’s and 90’s now and dry. I haven’t done much jogging. I’ve been walking the dog more. Well, the last couple of weeks have been interesting. My mom fell and broke her hip in the nursing home. Had to have surgery. They put a long…

Good Morning! Spring/summer weather here now finally! I tried a little running yesterday. My knees have been sore so I probably pushed more than I should. Kept my distance down because we were doing outside work yesterday also. I ended up with over 17,000 steps yesterday and let me tell you, my body felt it! I really need…
