Glad you had a great day, cs! The duck sighting sounds fun. Congrats also on your weight loss. I've been recovering from an illness. I hope I don't jinx it, but I am feeling better. I made a nice little pork roast which we will eat today. We just weren't in the mood for it yesterday, so I took some tortilla chips, some hot…

Watched a great video about MS and what vitamins to take: Multivitamin D3 Probiotic Flaxseed oil My sister was right to urge me to take a probiotic. I am so reluctant to do so unless I'm on an antibiotic. Been eating some higher carb items that I'd rather not, but overall doing pretty well. Depression is the pits. I don't…

CS: wtg on your weight loss! I'm glad your shoulder is improving, that your ankle is almost healed, and hope that you feel better soon. It's a good tip to set an alarm to move. If I don't move some each hour, my whole body freezes up and I can barely walk! Frugal: I need to exercise more too. My recumbent bike is…

I will hopefully be trashing quite a bit tomorrow. It got cool here again. Can't say I don't enjoy it. 😊 I enjoyed the fur balls today. I need to get them appointments to get their shots and rear tests for a possible boarding for a few nights in June. I really want to see my other sister who can't travel. We haven't seen…

Thank u, Tish. I sat outside for a good amount of time yesterday, enjoying the backyard. Today, I cleaned my hobby (and dog) room thoroughly. I meant to do more before night, but got into playing a game on my phone. The dogs are no longer sneezing. lol! I forgot to take my trulicity, but took it today. My BG went up about…

Yup, the creeps definitely do get creepier! We've got a mean one two doors down who gave our next door neighbor a lot of grief when any plant grew on his side of the fence. He was mean to my brother a lot too when my brother wanted to get a handicapped sticker for university parking. The "B" wouldn't give it to him. My…

Tish, send some decluttering vibes over my way! 😆 Pray that I get more energy. At least I like to read a lot and watch documentaries for the time periods I find it hard to move. Hugs to u both.

Well, still dragging my butt but I am over that intestinal thing. We hired some nice ppl (known them a long time and their work is fair priced and impeccable) to do our plantings in the backyard. We are putting in big hostas that bloom, plus some barberry plants. More clumping grass is going in the front surround under our…

I will never have an LDL below 100. Even when they had me on statins, I was 150. The worst part is it decreased my good HDL from 60 to 21! My doc at the time said, yes, statins will do that. My HDL is now a healthy 56 again. I've gone low on the BG the last 2 nights and am adjusting my meds. 66 BG woke me up several times…

Now that I am on trulicity, I have trouble eating enough. Funny. I still have an appetite, but my stomach is full as the drug slows down the stomach emptying. The good news is that I am weaning myself off the rapid insulin! I want popcorn with butter! 🤣

I have trouble losing anymore weight as I am still on rapid insulin. I eat less carbs so I don't have to take as much. Frustrating. Sending hugs.

Pretty well. I need to stay on top of things.

Howdy Tish! Hope all is well. You've been very busy lately.

Friendly neighborhood too! I miss that. All the friendly ppl here have either passed away or are in a nursing home now.

PT is great!

Compliant on all meds and vitamins! Go to doc this Wednesday for a check up and blood work. I'm trying to incorporate more veggies and legumes in my diet. Fresh fruit is so expensive now! I've been getting frozen fruit to mix with my plain yogurt in the mixer.

Howdy folks! Today was weird. I fell asleep reading a great graphic novel and missed out on walking outside. I did, however, made a great breakfast , eggs and bagel, and a nice lunch, salad with feta, nuts, apple dressing. Dinner was leftover shells pasta with a homemade chicken sauce. I got some laundry done today, along…

Cs, I sure hope you get the necessary treatment to get better! Sprains are no fun. Frugal, I hope things have calmed down between your roommates. Best not to get involved if you can. Well, I microwaved my lean cuisine gluten free balance bowl. It was roasted potatoes, turkey, a little gravy, green beans and a few…

Killing and Dying by Adrian To mine It's a wonderful collection of short stories graphic novel style, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the title! It's a charmer. Hey all, and catfish fan!

Sending peace and hugs on this wonderful day!

Thank u, sls! Still doing well on the daily vitamin, and getting some more strength!

I did physical therapy to help my knees, from my lower back to my knees.

@maggie, woot! @tish, wtg! Finally compliant on my vitamin!

Glad to hear it!

Well, I'm still counting carbs, but allowing myself some items I don't usually eat, like mashed potatoes. It's comfort eating. I eat it balanced with protein and veggies. My blood glucose has been really good lately. Trulicity makes me nauseous so I don't want to eat much, but I do still eat. I skipped dinner last night…

@CS, you are a strong woman. I'm glad you are back up and being productive! @frugal, I bought some frozen meals from my local grocery. Dollar tree delivers here through instacart, but I'm afraid to look and possibly buy too much! 😆 I've been MIA doing caregiving and in and out of ER vets and emotionally supporting my sis.…

Thank u, Maggie.

Well, today was the day. Petey the Poodle passed peacefully with the help of our good local vet, Dr. Cuffe. We love you forever, our sweet Pete.

Petey is coming home today! He's on vetsulin now, and will be starting meds for Cushing's.

The tornado zone has extended. We are in the Dixie tornado zone now. Last night the wind was fierce. Woke me at 3:30 am! Just finished a super cleaning at the dentist. I'm scheduled for 3 cleanings a year. I was 3 months late this last time--a combination of my illness and how backed up the dentists are. I'm with a young…
