Accountability: Rita, atta gal! Debbie agree about the thin slices, but instead of cooking the night before, I press between plates while cooking the potatoes and cabbage, then use an electric carving knife ;). Pip waiting stinks. ((hugs)) Rebecca that windmill is amazing! Michele sorry to hear about your wii. They just…

Accountability: Happy St. Patrick’s day to one and all! Knee wobbled on way down to power line despite brace, walking stick and taking it s l o o w. Canceled Wednesday’s dog group and Thursday am stroll/walk to rest leg. Hope it will be strong enough for girls’ road/shopping trip Friday. The good news is that Joe continues…

Accountability: Chiro said knee is unstable, could be arthritis, ligaments, acl, meniscus ??? Suggested I pick up the Xray order at MD and walk in to clinic for X-rays instead of waiting to be called. Bingo bango, in and out in less than a half hour, images on disc. In addition to ice/heat/ibuprofen, she wants me to wear…

Accountability: Long annual exam with new PA (liked her), led into an even longer all day sojourn in the ER. Both PA and Dr’s Sr. partner were concerned swollen, pitted left leg was recurrence of DVT so sent for ultrasound. Good news, no clots show in ultrasound, ER Dr. things cellulitis, will pick up antibiotic rx later…

Accountability: ‘nother low step count day, CI<CO saved by hours of laundry and burn pile. Lisa thought of Levi when Shadow and Tumble both demanded “Stick!” from Joe. Wanted to snap a pic but every time I pulled out the phone, they thought I was pulling out a treat and forgot their sticks to come running. Heather just…

Accountability: Checking back in. Low activity day Saturday, recovering from Friday’s shopping marathon and long drives. Unfunny knee issue: sudden, sharp, debilitating pain after a click/slide sensation. Started Thursday when my knee twisted inward while in bed. Persists when trying to put any weight on that leg while…

Hope you can enjoy Happy anniversary, Rita, despite all the worry and sadness. Heard once that MFP doesn’t support? Uploading pics from Android? phones. Lisa :love: your procrastination comments. Sending safe travels vibes to your DD and grands. Katla, ((hugs)) It sounds as though your DH is refusing to call the Dr. You…

Accountability: Yesterday dermatologist thanked me for coming in with the healthiest skin she’d seen that day. :smile: I’m off the hook for another six months, yay! Shopping was mixed bag, TJ’s has discontinued T’s favorite Arabbiata sauce and my favorite orange muscat champagane vinegar. See’s had sold out the dark…

Accountability: The documentary Joe invited me to watch was a David Attenborough narrated special on hummingbirds. Gloriously gorgeous. Katla, what kind of feeder do you recommend? Joe wants to put one up. Glad the firefighters helped. Healing vibes to your DH and strength to you. Lovely l o o o n g stroll/chat with T…

Accountability: Woke after 5 hrs, tossed and turned an hour and now here I am. Really need ‘nother couple hours of sleep before morning routine, stroll and lunch with T, then chiro. Oh Heather, what a poignant mix of disappointment and relief. Rita ((hugs)) and prayers. Katla fingers X’d DH can see the doctor in any way at…

UK Ladies, a request. In the March 6 Sunday Mail, there was an article/interview headlined "Extinct? I'm bark from the dead" with a picture of a Skye Terrier. If any of you have or can get it, please pm me. Thousand thanks from Tumble and Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD

Accountability: Welcome @susseca2 Suss and @cajmanthei ! Bookmark this thread by clicking the ribbon so it turns blue. Then you can return by clicking on “My Bookmarks.” Skimmin’ but just had to respond to Beth. I’d be more than miffed at that doctor refusing to treat your dad because of his being unable to transfer…

Accountability: Made step goal for the first time this month, yay. Fasting labs, annual ABI, ansar, balance and cognitive tests tomorrow. Dread the ones with automatic blood pressure cuffs, those doggoned things H U R T. Pip it is a testament to your fitness and overall excellent health that you could be discharged from…

Accountability: So pooped from class yesterday that I slept through the night, 8 straight hours. Usually I sleep 5, then wake 3 then sleep another 2. Go figure. Lisa what an appropriate poem for Ash Wednesday. LOVED the geek joke. Michele, thanks. Not even sure I’ll go for my license, just something I’m toying with, to…

Accountability: Aaugh after 3 days of heading in the right direction, bloompfed up more than 3 lbs this weekend. Let it go Barbara, focus on moving more and breathe. Rats! Forgot to watch the online “executive sessions” training for the fire district yesterday. Hope they recorded it and I can watch later. Also rats, just…

Accountability: Lisa “I try not to chafe at the worry that he can't seem to let go; it's love at its deepest” Likewise learned to hear Joe’s concerns as his trying to protect, not control or restrict, me. Deepening love. Barbie inspired by your weeding, pulled a few along the drive. Haven’t been in the yard for weeks due…

Hoped to be able to progress with the burn pile but too windy already this morning. Just as well, best not to disrupt morning habit routine two days in a row. Next window, maybe Monday??? Whoops! Joe just asked if we couldn’t burn for even just an hour til it got too windy. Keeping to intent to encourage him in activity,…
-
Accountability: Blessings upon blessings. Stopped in the man cave for good morning kiss. Joe said “Sit down? I’ve saved something for you!” It was a documentary on the Great Plains (Amazon Prime?) In one segment, a small herd of bison was released into a north Iowa Nature Conservancy reserve. Couldn’t help laughing for joy…
-
Accountability: Pouring down rain all day today, no breaks, wet dogs made me laugh. AF beer instead of red wine, whew! After breakfast still wanted something to eat/chew so indulged in the last of the spicy/smoky popcorn. Almost 200 C I didn’t need. Time to prep some carrot sticks in case I want something to chew tomorrow.…

Accountability: February Summary and March Plan Way over CI and way under CO today, planned celebration. Birthday usually happens after Ash Wednesday so I really enjoyed Fat Tuesday this year ;) (Thank you Carol, Betsy, Lisa, Vicki, Beth, Machka, Katla, Kylia and Allie!) Good news from Joe’s eye dr, pressure down to 15,…

Accountability: Thank you Barbie! You are our model! Morning routine interrupted spending quality time chatting with SIL. Then 2 hrs coffee/chatting with D. Got dogs down to powerline in between rain showers, but steps way low for the day. Sleepy so skimmin’ and will give Feb summary tomorrow. Welcome @lkh314 Leah from IL!…

Machka would you point me to the other calendar you use? As I was looking for Mindful March was thinking the Action for Happiness.org calendars were getting stale, no longer resonating with me as they once did. Then I opened tomorrow’s message: “Set an intention to live with awareness and kindness.” Thunk. Speaks directly…

Accountability: Go figure. Wearing velour “running” suit instead of pjs, and despite last evening’s yoghurt, chocolate and peppermint stick, down 1.1 lbs this morning. :astonished: Ginny fingers Xd the plumber finds no issues with the toilet/platform. Karen, Kylia, Terry, Mary, Kay so happy to see you popping in! Heather…

popped into my head this morning, quick rough estimate 30 including you and me! ;)
-
Accountability: Scale down .9 lb, despite last night’s snacking. It’s a mystery. Got dogs down to powerline just as the rain was starting. Happy to see it even though it meant no dog group today. Lisa being able to sit in office longer is a victory, not stupid. Likewise being able to absorb those nutrients. You’ll find…
-
Accountability: Wind died down and it warmed up to 50 today so was pleasant taking dogs down the drive. Atmospheric river arrives tomorrow, thank goodness. We’re all hoping it will finally break the drought. Made boiled dinner of corned beef, potatoes, carrots and cabbage. Joe asked “what’s the occasion?” “Nothing. To be…
-
Accountability: Joe drove us to the beach on the way to nail trim appointment. Dogs had a great romp on the sand, but [brr] that wind was chilly. Really enjoyed the ocean views on the way back, from inside the nice, warm van ;) Pretty sleepy so just skimmin’. Hugs to and prayers for Rita, Lisa, pip, Vicki, Alexandra,…

Accountability: Trying to reconcile Discover card statement but can’t find $0.24 discrepancy. Would normally drives me nuts, I balance to the penny every month. Today I’m just letting it go. Seems like the statement’s not all that’s “off.” :{ Machka “…In my head, I just need to pay a bill or send an email or log into a…

Accountability: Blustery, cold but beautiful blue sky and sunshine. Grateful for the wood burning stove, the heat really sinks into my bones. Lisa “. . .tremendously closer to this group. . .” likewise. Barely know my half sisters, didn’t meet til I was in my 40s. Only other family left are cousins in the Midwest. Feel…
