My friend Stephanie and I walked 3 miles on the trail with Rose. I told her to keep walking and we would catch up. Rose loved it, but I could tell at the end of the walk she was getting fatigued. They have a water fountain for dogs. She refused the first one but drank a lot at the 1.5-mile mark. Rose slept so well, and so…

Happy Birthday, Annie! Barbie, you have a lot on your plate. I am so sorry you can not keep your red Tesla anymore. She sounds like a beautiful car. (Red is my favorite color.) I have a red Jeep, and I love it. It would break my heart to lose it. It sounds like you are mourning the loss of your beautiful car, alone time,…

Hello, my beautiful friends. It sounds like a lot is going on with you all. I have been reading and keeping up. I was moved by how Tere had gone through Hell and back. The fact that you are a fighter is why you are in the land of the living. I am so impressed by your story. It brought me to tears. I am glad you are doing…

Hello, beautiful ladies; I took Rose to day camp to get more done. I went to Dollar Tree to see if I could rig something up to store my acrylic paints in. I have over 140 bottles, including the old ones. I saw something on YouTube, but of course, they don't sell it. I didn't have the energy to go to Target or JoAnnes…

Allie, I saw those Tonie boxes in a commercial. I was thinking about getting one or two and sending it to my little niece(she is my second cousin). I may donate some to the Hospital for the kids. Thanks for sharing, Miles and Delia; they make me smile. Pip, I love the quilt, and I thought that was a wonderful gift. Does…

Hi ladies; I am wiped out. All I want to do is stay in bed. My sleep doctor said that working nights is tough on the body, especially when you have to hold a TBI patient who is muscular and taller than you. I will force myself to go to my mom's place, pay for this month, and go to the pharmacy. Rose is ready for an outing.…

Happy Tuesday, everyone. I slept all day yesterday, and now it is 12:58 a.m., and I am wide awake. I did get some yoga and strength training in yesterday. I will go back to bed soon. The yoga was so relaxing. I had a very unruly patient and couldn't wait to go home. The nurse who was assigned to my patients was stuck in…

Carol, it is better to order directly from Lands End. The choices are better, too. Don't get me wrong—I love Amazon. These pants have been my go-to for years. I started buying Lands End pants when my kids were babies. They last a long time, too. I will post some pictures of the site. They are currently having a sale for…

Hello Good Ladies; Carol- I love Lands End's Sports Knit Pants. They say that they are like sweat but better, and it is true. They come in petite sizes for us under 5'3" and shorter. I got some for my mom and MIL, and they love them. You can dress them up with a blouse or dress them down. What is even better is that they…

Good morning again, everyone, I thought about it, and I realized that I am a native Californian, and we are very laid-back and casual. My DH is from the Midwest, and he isn't casual at all. The first time(the only time) I saw my dad with a tie on was at my wedding. You can even go to church in jeans. So imagine my surprise…

Good early morning, ladies, My goal this week was to increase my workout to five days. I did yoga on Monday, step aerobics with push-ups, tricep dips, and set-ups on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and tomorrow, I will be doing Taebo and Strength training. I did see a doctor who wasn't my regular doctor, and I don't know…

Hi, my lovely friends; Penny in TX: Beef takes 3 days to digest, so yes, it is the hardest to digest. Have you thought about doing Chair yoga? I also did water aerobics, which is not as hard on your joints. Walking is a good exercise, too. Look on YouTube for exercises you can do without aggravating your Achilles tendon. I…

Good Morning, my friends. November came in with a bang. Barbie, how you brought us through November amid a medical crisis amazes me. I appreciate you. I hope Jake is breathing more easily now. It sounds like they have a treatment plan worked out for him. I pray that it works. It is scary when you can't catch your breath.…
-
Barbie, I am so glad Jake went to the hospital. Now, the medical team can do a full workup on him and see what is going on. It is scary to experience shortness of breath. I always say better safe than sorry. I am praying for you. I wish I could do more. :'( XO, Mo in Mississippi

Hello, everyone, and Happy Halloween; I didn't realize today would be a holiday at my gym. I took time to show up and wash my hair. (They require this before getting in, but I'd prefer to do it at home.) Then I put PreSwim in my hair, only to discover no one was there but my therapist and office assistant. I was so…

Welcome, PdizzleB! Hi ladies, I have done two days of step aerobics. Boy, do I sweat doing all of that? I have a vast workout mat, so the step doesn't move around. I lit the candles in the fireplace and had the cinnamon clove diffuser going. I cut off the lights and had the ceiling fan going. I wanted to work out with…

Hello Everyone, I needed some mental health days, and I only worked one day. That mom had gone home. I was given a 14-year-old who had a bad attitude. His friend was intubated in the PICU. I guess they stole one of their parent's cars while drinking and getting high, and the other took other drugs. They crashed and had to…

Barbie, for some reason, I can't make anything bold when posting. :/ I tapped on the B, and this is what I got: "." Isn't that strange? XO, Mo in Mississippi

Hello, my friends; I called off again today. I took Dayquil and Benadryl, and I was able to sleep. I felt nauseous last night, and I have been eating under 1000 calories the past few days. This morning, I had a big breakfast: 1 hard-boiled egg, oatmeal, and one slice of roo bread. I am not entirely on Keto. I keep my carbs…

Hello ladies, last night before going to bed, I found out why I have been having headaches, sinus issues, hay fever, and GI symptoms. I just looked at my CPAP nasal prongs and saw mold spores. Black mold. I threw the moldy nasal prongs away. I examined the vent thingy, and it, too, was black. I talk about patients with…

Good early morning, everyone, I could not exercise today as planned. My stomach has been acting up, and I have been nauseated. I hate that feeling. I barely got any laundry done. Last week, towels were folded and put away. I got the other set of sheets folded and put away and decided to wash Rose's bed stuff. It was so…

One more thing, Margaret. Can you give me an example of fermented foods? XO, MO

Hi everyone; I will be glad when my phone texts are covered with ads, and my phone rings off the hook. I know who I vote for; I wish they would leave me alone. I tend to mix my vote according to who I agree with, not by party. That is why both sides are calling me. I agree with you all; it is time for this madness to end.…

Good Morning, ladies, I walked without the group for 4.87 miles, ran, and did speed walking. I felt so good. I put on a new set of sheets and washed the others twice(Rose's side was dusty). I am putting up extra bedding so Rose won't lay on my new bedding. She sleeps on the floor but jumps in the bed when I am in a deep…

Good morning ladies! My body has not flipped back to days. I stayed up until 3:30 a.m. yesterday, and it looks like the same today. It is now 1:32 a.m. I slept all day, and then boom, my energy kicked in, and I did 45 minutes of step aerobics, push-ups, sit-ups, and tricep push-ups. I was so happy that I exercised on a…

Good early morning, ladies. I got called off from work last night, so I am home. We only had 13 patients. That mom will be upset that I am not there to care for them. Her little girl is doing much better and tolerating food. She has gained weight as well. The mom gets mad when we are focusing on her child. I told her that…

Thank You so much for the birthday wishes. It was nice to be off today. Unfortunately, I stayed up until 3:30 am watching YouTube videos. So when I woke up this morning, I was cold. I cut on the heat. Then the dog was up, so I had to let her out and go outside with her. I did and told her that it was cold out. Then, I used…

Hi, my friends, I love reading about what you are all up to. Allie, Delia is growing so fast. I am so happy you are having a great time on your trip. Carol, your granddaughter, is quite lovely. Egg looks so cute in his balled-up position. Rori, your kitty, looks like he is the owner. Heather, you and John are both…

Hi, my friends. I hope everyone is well. First of all, Pip, I enjoyed your pictures. You are beautiful, and I can see you have been through a lot. Thank goodness there was a village to look out for you until Kirby came along. You had two great loves of your life, maybe three. You had so much strength to bounce back. You…

Vicki, I was thinking about the whole matter and the years you worked for that company. They should be ashamed of themselves. It made me mad. I do believe there is a blessing that will come your way. They may get Karma and realize they made a horrible mistake. My question is, why couldn't they move you to another…
