  • Accountability: Last night’s late snacks took a toll on the scale this morning. Today, didn’t get to either minutes or taxes but laundry, vacuuming and changed linens. Skimmin’ so I can get to bed without putting anything else into my mouth ;) Lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD 2022: Be still and…

  • Accountability: Well boo. Joe urged me to look at the details of the winter storm advisory in effect from this evening through Tuesday morning. Convinced me to postpone my semiannual skin scan, with bonus TJ’s, Natural Grocers and Winco shopping. Even though I have studded snow tires and a very warm Idaho snow jacket, the…

  • Accountability: Machka you accomplish more on a low energy day than I do in a normal energy week! Allie that video sounds like a lovely and heartfelt gift to your uncle. Julie SMH about that repair place trying to dodge their responsibility. Never give an inch! Barbie “. . .want to be a cat” hahahahaha. Debbie about…

  • Accountability: Barbie, ditto what you said. Thanks for the reinforcement. Alexandra wonderful news! Terri and Heather please send some of that rain here! You can keep the wind… ;) Faith in So.Cal love the meme, but I’d add a ((hugs)) blossom ;) Looking forward to pics of your rambunctious lab. Annie 6 mins on the…

  • Accountability: Skimmin’ as I’m sleepy and still trying not to snack. Terri in my mind’s eye, I can just see you spinning and jumping on ice skates! Welcome @mvarga1972 Missy from IN! Rebecca my washed out ziplock bags drip dry on the rinsed out beer bottles awaiting recycling but your arrangement looks artistic and…

  • Accountability: Machka gorgeous cabbage! What about sauerkraut? Allie thank goodness for the favorable results, both yours and your DD’s. Fingers X’d the dietician has some helpful ideas. Brava for setting a boundary with Carmine. KJ and Katla I like my cottage cheese with citrus (clementines, navel oranges, red…

  • Weight up 2.5 lbs this morning. How clear does it have to be? Plan today for nothing by mouth for the last hours before bed. Lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD 2022: Be still and listen.

  • Accountability: Going to bed snackless last night had good scale results this morning. Can I do it again? Got my laptop back, restored the files I’d temporarily updated from Joe’s pc, but wow, the paperwork and filing pile up in just a few days. Tomorrow will be a “reconcile-update spreadsheets-and-file” morning. KJ thank…

  • Accountability: Grateful for the cold, pouring down rain today. Got soaked walking around the port buildings waiting for Joe’s take away Valentine’s day dinner: seafood combo with extra oysters. A real gift of love to him as the smell of seafood nauseates me. :sick: Machka thanks for checking snopes! Allie whooshing calm…

  • Accountability: Has anyone heard from Kylia @kymarai lately? Spent way too much playing on the wii this morning but it got steps off to a good start. Shortchanged the dogs in favor of lunchtime meetup with dear departed BFF’s sister. We laughed, cried, shared memories and held hugs extra extra long. Hard to believe my…

  • Accountability: This morning, inbox messages from shortly after midnight back to Jan 1 year all moved to trash. Suspicious timing with the creepy FB cover pic change. Now I’m afraid to back up my system or work on taxes. Pfaugh. Copied most recent files to the older external hard drive then took the laptop to the pc guy…

  • Accountability: Restful, bathrobe day. Way short on steps, didn’t even get dogs down to the powerline, but sure enjoyed lazy reading. My FB account got hacked. Some kid changed my cover pic to be his face, underlit by flashlight, creepy, and sent it to 3 people via my messenger account. Followed the FB steps, changed…

  • Accountability: Too pooped last night to check in. No wonder, 9049 steps, the most since Jan 8. Lovely dinner with C, took 2/3 of entrée home, kept wine down to two glasses, and stopped at ¼ slice of chocolate layer cake. Crazy weather, Wednesday was 83 at the port. Thursday, 78F in town, then 5 mins north was 15 degrees…

  • Accountability: When Joe invited me to watch the beginning of a movie this morning, I didn’t want to. From what I’d heard it sounded like the kind of slapstick, Three stooges Humor that he likes and I don’t. Boy am I glad I chose to join him despite my preferences. It was the first fifteen minutes of the movie A Lion is in…

  • Accountability: Incredibly beautiful weather for February. Almost 70F today and hotter tomorrow. Crocuses, wild wood violets, Shasta daisies, heather. Oops, pics came out huge so in spoiler Tumble was sniffing at the heather when I noticed all the bumble bees. “Uh Oh!” pulled her back before she got stung. Not to look a…

  • Accountability: Breakthrough more with Joe than with me. For example, a few days ago, after walking barefoot in the floor, he mentioned feeling the “stuff” on the foam mats. As I picked them up to move them to the deck for shaking/vacuuming, he got the broom and dustpan and swept the floor! But the real breakthrough was…

  • Accountability: Here on the Southern Oregon Coast only one brief rain Jan 30, otherwise no measurable precip since Dec 26. None in the foreseeable future. Heather, send us some of your rain, please! Lisa your story about shopping with Corey really resonated. Joe and I definitely shop separately. He likes to dash down any…

  • Accountability: Lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD 2022: Be still and listen. Zoom with god daughter and her littles went surprisingly well, probably as the kiddos joined one by one, not all at once. I’m not good with children, nervous, bossy, uneasy. Really enjoyed chatting with god daughter,…

  • Accountability: Penny in your father’s dream was your mother young? In my dreams Mama and Papa are. Barbie :love: the pic of Sasha and Brandy. Pip likewise :love: the zonked out Yogi pic. Lisa [brr] saw Arkansas on the Weather channel last evening and thought of you. Annie congrats on continuing your elliptical and yoga.…

  • Accountability: Disrupted morning routine to start laundry and vacuum while Joe went into town. The pipes screech when hot and cold water are mixing to make warm, the drum groans if there’s anything heavy (bath rugs, towels). All these noises bother Joe more than they do me. ;) To my surprise and delight, Joe then invited…

  • Accountability: Watched an episode of Girls’ last tour (?) with Joe. He likes anime and this series at least is less violent and suggestive than some of the others. Yet, plotless, dystopian “stories” leave me disquieted and sad. Annie up to 6 mins on your elliptical, now that’s progress! Well done! Pip, that’s an…

  • Have long suspected was overestimating CO. Dug out and fired up the Wahoo HRM. Mixed results. Stops recording some workouts short. Then sometimes I forget to stop/save workouts and it just keeps on ticking. The bad news is that yesterday I never got my heart rate out of the “easy” range. The good news is that today I got…

  • Accountability: Thank you Barbie. A fresh start and the “what you want most…” reminder are just what I need. On the 29th, Joe pulled the fridge out and vacuumed behind it for me, but there were no obvious coils there so… pulled the front grille out and used his high powered shop vac to pull the dust and dog hair out from…

  • Accountability: Happy Birthday Sue! Heather, con VERY grats! That evening dress will just slink right on. Ginny “…not closing any doors.” Wise words those. Machka ditto Ginny’s concern about your neck. I’d be afraid to ride if I couldn’t turn my head to check for traffic etc. :love: your catio and garden. Margaret congrats…

  • Accountability: Interesting article from Nature. A little thin on evolutionary evidence from more than 11,600 years ago but with implications for the paleo diet ;). https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01681-w Machka, alas, no the mailboxes were not the locking kind.

  • Accountability: On my way out to Freddie’s, I saw all our lane’s mailboxes' doors hanging open and some circulars on the ground. Nothing inside. Called it in to the county sheriff (“dispatch” took over 25 rings to answer transferred call) who will have someone call back. No word yet. Thankful for USPS Informed delivery so…

  • Accountability: Beach stroll with Joe and the dogs, lovely way to start the day. A little chilly in the breezy shade, but glorious sunshine, blue sky and sea. Worth the disruption in morning routine. Again, no regrets. Recorded Jeopardy walking to make step goals, was a little sad to see Amy Schneider’s 40 day streak…

  • Accountability: Chose to sit with Joe and watch old time TV reruns (Streets of San Francisco, Perry Mason) while sipping tea and nibbling biscoff, instead of doing T’ai Chi and osteo back. No regrets. Chatting, reminiscing, a treasured, lovely time. FINALLY transplanted those poor aloe veras. Found 4 tubers circling the…
