  • Today’s gratitude: that I tasted the Muenster before giving it to the dogs. Looked good, smelled ok, but YUCK! Tasted moldy. :sick: Lanette alas there is no fiber in my tea. Coffee wouldn’t be health food when I got done doctoring it (sugar, cream, flavorings etc). Good girls indeed, wonder if I could borrow neighbor’s…
  • Today’s gratitude: clean, potable, iced spring water. No wii balance games or PT leg strengthening, needed to leave early for casserole-a-thon. We were short 2 or 3 people so it took twice as long to finish all 16 casseroles and 50 sandwiches. After 4 hours I ran out of steam, and left the last little bit of wrap up to…

Lanette thanks for Dr. Chatterjee’s 5-steps, copied to desktop for easy access after morning readings/BP. Stretching my arm up overhead then in a…
  • Today’s gratitude: Brief period of brilliant sunshine before the downpour/hail. Lanette, thanks for asking. Shoulder still makes it painful to pull on/off pants, compression socks, racerback bra. MRI ordered but not yet scheduled. Bob and Brad stretches and massage give some relief. Poor Shadow won’t get to go to dog group…
  • Today’s gratitude: breaks in the rain this morning for Joe to take dogs to powerline meadow and this afternoon for me to take them too. Kylia congratulations on starting February lighter than January! Lanette thanks for the prunes video. Was wanting something to eat but didn’t want to blow CICO. One prune (not six!) did…
  • Gratitudes: Tonight (1/31) Barbie for the fresh start every month. Yesterday (1/30) Line dancers’ smiles and kind expressions of concern and support. Tuesday (1/29) Encouraging MD visit. 1/21-1/28 missing. Maybe that’s one of the reasons I’ve been so blue, forgot to look for blessings. Lanette, can NOT thank you enough for…

Heart just isn’t in it, and the scale shows it. Betsy beautiful babies! Michele what hard news about your friend. ((hugs)) and ((prayers)). Be careful with…

  • Today’s gratitude: Power and internet stayed up after pineapple express switched to Nor’easter. Lanette the tooth procedure isn’t til March as have to be off the foxamax for 3 months. This week is Mohs surgery on my face, ;{ Ditto for being at ground zero, quick like a flash. ;} Michelle in NV sounds like you’re doing the…
  • Today’s gratitude: While shopping the pantry swept out the far corners. Was thankful that there was no mouse poop as there has been in the past, nor weevils like in Annie’s, but OH, the cobwebs [shudder}. The cloud of dog hair didn’t bother me ;} Yesterday’s gratitude: Full strength ammonia. Audio books whenever I’ve tried…

  • Yesterday’s gratitude: freezer and panty full of food, hot tub. Spectrum internet down last night. Could get to mfp calorie counter with cellular connection, but not to “Community” “unable to connect to server” so went back to bed ;} Now exercise diary doesn’t show goal numbers, not a big deal, I know what they should be.…
  • Today’s gratitude: one set of PT! Relief! Kylia ((hugs)) Tracey that “bad decisions” meme made me snort my water. :laugh: Heather love the pic of John and Edie creating.

  • Gratitudes: 1/10- Bob and Brad the most famous physical therapists on the internet, and a chiropractor who responds to 6:45 am texts with tips to get me through ‘til she can see me Friday.
