Machka You look so much better than I did after my second nose cancer removal. Both eyes were black and with the wound and stitches I looked like a pirate.

Still skimmin’ only to pg but just had to say Rebecca that just doesn’t sound right. Hope your MD gets you some help… and Thanks Allie for that quote about fading away and getting our sparks back . . . and Debbie I’m surprised your wellness coach didn’t suggest any stress relieving techniques. You’ve been through so much…

Saturday night at the Elks, Harvest Dance Party woo HOO! Actually secret birthday party for a gal who hired this amazing one man band, Johnny Young, who played all dance music. Most of the gals from class showed up, including many of the newbies and beginners. A great time was had by all. Still skimming, only to pg 40 but…

Still skimmin’. Stats updates just have to wait. Frenzied cleaning yesterday, today, and whatever can get done tomorrow morning before company arrives. Joe’s tried to be helpful, and he has, but there have been some less than loving conversations as I’m snappish when mid-cleaning frenzy and take not well to helpful…

Belated happy Thanksgiving Day to Tracey, Evelyn and all other Canadiennes whose names have slipped my memory. ;}

Will catch up with stats later, sometime. Just back from two day gals’ road trip to walk Circles In the Sand in Florence and shop our way back to Brookings. Great group of gals, fog and chill could not dampen our spirits. Walking the labyrinth in the fog was a more meditative experience than had it been sunny. No PT, way…

Ugly news at the DDS: Packed up huge box to donate, smaller box to send to nephew. Do NOT look around and see how much more stuff there is. One foot in front of the other. Don’t know why but somewhere along the line I stopped playing music CDs. Snagged a few from the “maybe” pile and have really enjoyed listening to them…
-
Thanks all for the anniversary wishes. Much appreciated. Lanette Enjoyed the Chapman sticks rendition of Diamonds and Rust-induced nostalgia. Lisa :love: the happy couple’s pic. Thanks for understanding how Joe’s wanting to do just one thing morphs into Barbara’s having to do 17. :astonished: Would you share the link to…

Oct pg 4 bottom Arrgh. THIS is why I hate decluttering. Joe announced he wanted to move the bookshelf containing all my dvds and cds out from the corner so he could put totes of firewood there handy to the woodstove. OK good plan, winter is coming, Bi~Mart has raised the prices of PrestoLogs so Joe’s decided to cut up some…

Belated welcome @dvmmcw8273 Melanie! Pip well done, both on the fund raising and on redecorating the trailer. Viv like Lisa and Lanette, my bp is always sky high (160+/80+) in the office due to “white coat syndrome”. Those robotic cuffs HURT. I found a wrist monitor that doesn’t hurt as much. Doc said they’re not accurate…
-
Belated welcome @nanerkay Sandy from KY to a very supportive group. Barbie are your sunflowers by any chance the ones whose tubers are Jerusalem artichokes? Love how you can find something to be grateful for after that “yes but…” conversation :naughty:. Betsy :heartbreak: Heather, your son’s smile hasn’t changed! Lanette…

The very happiest of birthdays to yooouuu dear Heather! Karen just saw the pic of Olivia and her mama. Catches my heart whenever I see that miracle baby so healthy and happy. Makes the Josephina Ballerina update that much more heart breaking. St. Jude, please! Lisa me2. “Glad to be here” is my standard reply to “How are…

October is my favorite month! Thank you Barbie for your faithful leadership. I’m in awe of your consistency. Alas, I’m sooo far behind. . . Will read and catch up much as I can tomorrow. September details below. In short: Fuel better: Doing ok on veggies so abandoning the list for this update, may reinstate for October.…

Popping in to check on everyone. Will up date stats when have more time. Karen Fingers, toes, and eyes all X’d that the mixup gets straightened out, the ID and birth certificate arrive in time to hold the apartment for your brother. Whew! The irises print is beautiful, Will you hang some of your brother’s art? Think it…

Low energy day. Did my pt exercises but didn’t even take the pooches down to the powerline. Step count at 2600. Then wondered why I had the blues. :} Pulled up my big girl panties, filed away a few pieces of paper, then did some Jeopardy walking to almost double steps. Skimming now then will try to squeeze in some more…

Shake the sugar challenge: not meeting it but finding it leading me to be more mindful of my choices. e.g. today when I splurged on a BLAT sandwich, instead of having a coke that would have gone so very very well with it, chose an iced tea. Did I add 2 tsp sugar? Yup. Was that around 8 tsp fewer than the coke would have…

Pip must confess I envy your DH’s can do attitude ;} Tracey and Rosemarie, good luck with the Coca Cola. It’s a toughie. Heather SMH at Johnny’s friend. Sorry to hear no inexpensive fix for that window. Katla hope you can find some good blueberries to go with that cottage cheese. Brava for taking the bus and exploring on…
-
Debbie best anniversary wishes to you. Hope your DH finds his 2nd CPAP and finds his way to give you the gift you most want. Lovely wedding pics. Lisa bravissima! 20 minutes is 20 minutes. ;) Pip can Kirby replace chipped bathroom sinks? When can he come over? Katla sounds like your DH is progressing well enough to…

Late night snacking showed in an extra pound and a half yesterday morning. Next time I want to chomp something it’s not going to be biscotti, maybe a carrot? :laugh: Alas, just learned I should have started my violas in July to get blooms by Oct 31. Ah well, next year. First step in shake the sugar challenge, honey in tea…
-
Rita thankful meds are stabilized. Hope you’re feeling better. Glad your DS is getting the help he needs. That was a very scary time. Allie watching your friends make music videos sounds like fun! Katla bravo for your DH’s good spirits. That’s more than half the battle won. ((hugs)) Still no progress on the donation box or…
-
No progress on the donation box but did sign up for the Shake the Sugar Challenge, hoping for tips and motivation. At this moment I doubt I can do it or even really want to. Some of the mini challenges look doable (honey in tea, 47 oz water, meal prep, move 30 min/day) but that’s a lot of protein at first meal, never got…

No de-cluttering done yesterday but freezer/pantry purge continues. Boy will I be glad to see the last of that organic vegan pizza crust :sick: I did do a hard thing, threw away five servings of crispy baked in garlic butter artichoke hearts that I labored over for hours. Really hate to throw food away but these were not…
