Ya DH tries to run him off, but I remind him that Bear is just doing what he does and he reconsiders the addition of a side kick. He's like a little kid, always "helping". But I love his company and how happy and how pleased he is with himself helping/learning. I don't have any restrictions per se. Just physical…

Today I must clean this house some. DH said he'd get someone... I suppose if I put stipulations on it, like it being a professional service not this "i got a friend who knows someone" business... I could concede. But I get a bit perturbed that if I am cleaning it, no one cares. If others have to clean up after themselves,…

@bearly63 YAY! congratulations to DD!

@bearly63 Is your DD also applying for med schools for 2021? I know with PA school that it is very competitive and a second application cycle looks favorably, that you are dedicated. They want to see perseverance. The few kids I knew taking the MCAT, took it at least twice. Sooooo, perhaps she should think about taking it…

@shanaber hugs to your dd. It's so hard to lose our best friends. I hope she finds comfort that she was a wonderful pet parent and Gatsby loved her. @bearly63 Good luck to your dd. I haven't followed what's going on, but hope med school is in her future. We (nursing school) still haven't heard if we are doing on site…

I try to weigh daily. But that usually only happens if i suspect its going to be down. I can catch a trend up quicker, really means I just watch it and do nothing but complain. When I was running, it was also a good indication of hydration. If by chance it starts down, I find it motivating for the next weigh to be down…

blah my house is so dirty. I put laundry in. sneered at the filthy floor. Got winded in the shower so I sat my gimpy butt down. I dropped pizza in the floor and ate it anyway. I am so annoyed that my leg is so swollen still. And the blanket in the dryer is wadded up, thunking and thunking as it goes 'round and 'round. I…

tattoos DD has several. She had a "friend" that did them when she was 15,16,17ish and was tattooed. I went to the police over it. But, she has 2 that are professionally done, both cover up some of the junk art from teenage decisions. I plan on the same location as @HonuNui 's rhino. Nothing anyone can see except me and…

Right! I swear. Why ask me then don't take note? Normally DH would bring me something but no visitors with the virus. I'm an overfed American anyway. Won't hurt me to skip a meal. Food. Left over brisket, coffee and coconut water. Baby bear is babysitting me today. DD is doing better. She is ready to go get tattoos…

@HonuNui IZ was a Hawaiian small. I've gained weight and feel like I use his clothes! We did, er I did aloha ka manini for Alex's funeral. It was beautiful. I love the Hawaiian language. Translation for all The strength and endurance of the distance runner is the result of any race he has won, whether in or out of the…

My literally broken leg. @Avidkeo it'll be a month before x-rays. This one includes bone cemet. Someone bring me asprin and an ice pack.

A fair question and it's open to all to ask or respond. I think we did a what is your cross training question last month or perhaps the previous month. But not a why do you do what you do. I don't get to answer. I'm a broken nonrunner.

@rheddmobile I'm home now. That diabetic plate sounds so stupid from people who are supposed to be educated. Just nuts. Now I get to rely on DH for grub. And I haven't eaten since 8 this AM... It's 6pm... I guess today is a fast. We don't get along when I'm in pain, I'm grumpy... Well... An a hole probably. A grumpy a hole.

Aww Ava Maria!!!! I use to play the brooks and dunn song My Maria and sing it to her all the time. She was so embarrassed hahA! His photos weren't backed up. Which is fine. His phone was fairly new and the previous one stolen, so no back up. I put crazy on the FB block list. Fake block! Lol! Anyone else watch Arrested…

@quilteryoyo I like where you are going with the rie rie... Maybe rie-a ? Ma- rie? @ddmom0811 My dd's middle name is Marie. I call her Maria. The ex vetoed Maria so I'm the only one that calls her Maria. He still calls her by her baby name Lexi. Alex was Xan. Then older was Jude. Heck go with rie rie if u want. I think…

I don't understand why nutrition asks for food restrictions, then serves it to you... I ate the cream of wheat but skipping the not real egg with soy in it, skipping the bacon with nitrates, I don't drink milk (told 'em so yesterday) and passing on the biscuit because it's an empty carb and I had the cereal for a carb.…

A wonderful quote! It'd couple nicely with SISU (@garygse) or Embrace the Suck (@stoshew71) on a running shirt. I want one in Hawaiian small (eh @Honinui). ya'll and youses need a monthly question? Any one have one?

The osteotomy was re-done. They remove first rod, cut femur, de-rotated it and cemented a rod in this time, and secured with screws. I had exparel yesterday, so I think that's why it wasn't so bad. I wonder if I can have more, haha! My knee is so swollen, I think more so this go around. The leg is starting to feel more…

@ddmommy lol! Funny on the rie rie... there needs to be better word than gma in our language. I like Bubbie. Surgery Doing ok. I don't know why this one was easier, fo far. Maybe anesthesia did better or because there are no guts in the bone to drill out, it just isn't as painful (yet). For whatever reason I get apnea on…

Crap First thing this AM DH tells me a mass was said for Alex last night 130 somewhere in the world. It was a wonderful thing, but *kitten*- it is a horrible start to the day. His candle was just about to burn out and I lit a St. Jude one DH got yesterday (Alex' family nickname was Jude), I felt Mother Mary also needed to…

I remember when I didn't want to do something good for me, I'd tell myself I was doing it for the baby. So, take that baby out for a walk, show him/her all the world and let him/her hear the birdies sing. Take every moment you have with that little one.

Eh, today was fine. I had to go to Dallas for my pre-op testing. Uneventful and organized. No covid detected. Now waiting on the EKG... Wonder of it'll be abnormal again or if it was a fluke. But regular doc said it was fine, because I was a runner... DD Seems better today. No tears but wanted me to come get her early, but…

ugh. I forgot the earthquakes.... We had a few about 4-5 years ago when they were drilling in an area. They made them stop drilling, which couldn't be why, but was. Walked Lots of geckos out. A little windy and thoughts of a thunderstorm loomed, but pleasant. I walk funny and am rubbing hot spots on the bottom of my "good"…

ugh the *kitten* blower add is back. WHY MFP? WHY? Emotionally horrible last few days. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself today. I have a audio book by the the Dalai Lama I could listen to and maybe go walk, while waiting for aliens or a giant meteor to strike, cuz 2020 ya kno... @RunsOnEspresso I have the…

DH had a late run today and said he was yelled at twice by passerby-ers (called a twink and something else i forget... he made gestures and yelled obscenities back at 'em). No Idea what's gotten into people lately. Be extra safe out there.

Pot You do have to have a growers license here too, but you can grow it for individual use, I think it's 6 plants per person, unless you have a firearm carry permit; then you are not allowed to have, grow or get medical card. It made me sick so I don't anticipate ever using it. And I hear the new pot isn't like the mellow…

Weight Threatening to move down. This morning I am 4.1 pounds above the "do something" weight, 1.9 below the "this is serious" weight. DH hasn't changed his eating and isn't running and hes down 3 pounds today. WTH bruddah? MFP is being a real kitten. So many glitches. My app won't connect to the community, laptop only…

LOL! I won't now! I am assuming that is pronounced tee-taaas. Google can tell me but sometimes translate isn't accurate. Thanks Tita! ETA LOL Explanations of the variations is cracking me up. As if I needed a reason to love Hawaiian/Polynesian culture anymore! Could be my new language endeavor. My next life, I better be…

DD phoned again. She really would like for me to come get her, which does make me feel better. I can do that unless it is on surgery day, then her dad can. SO I have 3 days in a row now not going to OKC or Dallas. sweet. Car Found a nice guy to do it, he quoted us 100, inside and out. ???? huh? yaaa! I showed him my…

@shanaber Can you have DH put chicken wire around the bottom of the nectarine tree? I noticed a park does that to keep them out of certain trees. Least, I assume that was what it was for. The PM rate may take some getting use to, I couldn't really know, but it seems like a reasonable adjustment. Glad you managed some…
