Today’s gratitude: good long chat with former work buddy. Lisa 11 whole days? Whoopeeeeeee! Yours to Vicki. Annie “broccoli from heaven” Brilliant! Tracey Bravissima for taking your walk. Baby steps. Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD Move more than yesterday, fuel better than yesterday,…

Today’s gratitude: was able to walk up from the cistern to the chair before I had to stop to catch my breath. Aim is to make it up to the drive and eventually to the house without stopping. Flea me2. :cry: Lanette so relieved no permanent food damage. Brava for return to morning walk! Heather Oh that Bea! :love: Pip…

Today’s gratitudes: able to do three things I enjoy today: play in the dirt (excavated a third of the old raised bed), took Shadow to dog group, made broccoli crunch salad for fellowship. Walking the dogs down to the cistern path a young buck jumped up onto the drive in front of us. Both dogs took chase and were out of…

Today’s gratitude: hot tub, chiropractor, ibuprofen. Tried something new, dressed and worked in the side yard with Joe before morning routine (readings, PT, etc) and after only 1 cup of tea. Good chat time too. Proud of myself for moving the compost pile. Reward? Found a bay laurel seedling in the old raised bed. Potted it…

Today’s gratitude: we have dishes and vegetables to wash, and bottled water to rinse them. The “other redwood tree” survived the tank’s move. Cistern is working as it should, holding water and apparently not cracked or leaking. New control box installed so water pumps automatically from cistern to storage tanks in the pump…

Today’s gratitude: Shadow’s good morning greeting. Joe’s recommendation of Miss Willoughby and the Haunted Bookshop on Amazon Prime. Hot shower at the gym. Tracey imho with pen, paper and faxes, more people had gainful employment, fewer homeless. Love your idea “Tracey’s Community Craft Cabin” Camaraderie is crucial to our…

AAARRGGH!!!!! :angry:I am SO MAD! :rage: While Joe was finishing the side yard clearing up job things I couldn’t do, (move the potted cherry tree, cement blocks and iron rose trellis) he “cut down the little tree.” “Oh NO! Not the redwood tree?” If he had talked to me first I could have begged him to spare it. It would…

Today’s gratitude: Joe spoke with our neighbor today. Parts ordered. Soon as helpers are done with current job, will install control box, move and connect tank and “talk about” sanitization system. Hopeful, but I am so very weary of rinsing dishes and vegetables with store bought water… and I think Joe has been sneaking…
-
Today’s gratitude: the abundant hot water in the gym’s shower. Made it to the 3rd BB&B class, got down on the floor for the mat work. Struggled to sit up diagonally, just don’t have the abs to get up. Got less than an hour of line dance class but managed to walk the dogs down to the powerline meadow before completely…
-
Today’s gratitude: 15 degree temperature drop at sunset, and wow was it a beaut! Just let word get out at church that you have water/well/cistern/pump troubles and what a lot of helpful advice, support and sound recommendations come your way during fellowhip. Have a strong recommendation for a pump and well company if our…
-
Today’s gratitude: no apparent issues from dropping iPhone into the water bowl. Actually did the planned shoulder PT and BB&B combo this morning, yay me. Skipped dog group for a BBQ/Dance at the Elks. Fun time though the music was too loud and the portions too huge! Yes, Carol, we’re able to use SOME water, but it still…
-
Today’s gratitude: cool fresh morning air, summer scents and sounds. Oh! What a beautiful morning! Joe checked the tanks and we risked a load of laundry. Took the tanks down by half so he’ll pump up from the cistern later. When he checked the cistern this morning, most of the creek water he’d pumped into yesterday it was…
-
Today’s gratitude: Michele, Lisa and whoever else suggested keeping some grapes in the freezer. Thank you! 90 degrees here is unusual and too hot for me to do anything but sit by the window and catch up from June. Like Kim, we have no A/C except the ocean breeze bringing in the fog. Had to move the lettuce and daphne into…
-
Today’s gratitude: Coach Ken and the welcoming, supportive people in the Better Bones and Balance class. Yup, I did it. First Better Bones and Balance class today. Just as I remembered, challenging but do-able with Coach’s encouragement and adaptations to each of our individual needs and abilities. So proud of myself for…
-
Today’s gratitude: Barbie and all the wise, compassionate, funny gals on this thread. Thank you Barbie, just the fresh start I need. Will go back later and catch up reading. Water system woes continue, wiring for new pump in cistern needs changing, cistern itself is very very low. No showers or laundry for us! Using…

Likewise add water is blank. Manually typing in a number does not work. Windows laptop using Firefox.

Since I can’t do laundry, or take a shower, spent some time catching up ;) Rebecca could you record some of your songs on your phone and share? Allie Yikes indeed! Amazed you were able to keep from whoopsing on the carpet. Fingers X’d your doc can give you some relief. Carol “…I spend too much time playing games on the PC…
-
Today’s gratitude: our neighbor the water guy came yesterday. Only through pg 30. KJ right there with ya on not being MIA from the group for more than a couple of days. I am in awe of your attitude toward the toddlers, and your DH’s baby whispering. 8 under 2 yrs and 4 more toddlers? Aieee! I’d be with Lisa “laid out flat…
-
Tracey you were on my heart when I woke this morning. Can you help me understand the 30 hr/wk limit? Does it relieve the county of the responsibility to pay overtime or benefits? What hours would you work? Would it be possible to work part time for a local bookkeeping outfit to supplement income? It grieves me to think of…

Popping in again for a few. Very belated welcome @Babytessie01 ! Please let us know what you’d like to be called and your general locale. Kim thank you for www.fire.ca.gov. Prayers and thoughts for Debbie’s Mom, your friends, and all affected both residents and responders. Allie what did the ER say about your fainting and…

Just another drive by. Pip you have such a kind heart. Sorry the squirrel story had a sad ending. ((hugs)) Very belated best anniversary wishes to Tracey and Rodger, and best birthday wishes to Rebecca. Oh Allie, just read about BabyA. Hugs and prayers for all. Through pg 23 Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern…

‘nother quick check in before PT and breakfast. Heather, la Parisienne? Va va VOOM! “Imaginative empathy” alas not here. I’m astounded at how clueless I can be about other peoples’ feelings. Through pg 18, time to get up off my b u + t, play balance games, do shoulder/knee PT and eat breakfast before line dance class.…
-
Just popping in to try and catch up a little. No drama here, thank goodness. Just disrupted routines due pt appointments, girls’ road trip to Crater Lake, annual tests and exam. Pip conVERYgrats on first place woman in the MS ride. Very belated welcome @christelsnyder Chrisivy in NE PA. We’re glad you found us too! Through…

Today’s gratitude: no real bad neighbor drama. Pip, yes she looks comfortable and confident no one will step on her or disturb her. Machka hadn’t heard the term “nightmare disorder” but the recurrent nightmares I had as a child (and occasionally thereafter) seem to fit. Often said what a relief it was to wake up and get to…

Gratitudes: Sunday- sound of rain on roof, pushing back wildfire season by even a day. Monday- Joe talking to me, telling me about what he’s trying to help his eyes feel better, what he’s testing to give the eye Dr. feedback, his willingness to drive me to Grants Pass if/when next oral surgery is scheduled. Feeling grumpy…
-
Today’s gratitude: Barbie for the fresh start every morning… Thank YOU Barbie! As usual motivation flagged toward end of month. Will catch up with posts later. PT going down to once a week, mostly to keep me honest. Heather rejoicing to hear of your surgery and recovery. Your son wears shorts whle biking in the snow???…
-
Today’s gratitude: hot tub. Might have to get in again, upper back muscles sore from a very intentional shoulder PT session Saturday morning. Heather thanks for the clutterbug and Minimal Mom podcast/video recommendations. What distinguishes English asparagus from that grown in other countries? Is it a separate variety…

Happy birthday, pip! 🎁🎂🎉 💥 🥳
-
Today’s gratitude: Credit union staff who are so very understanding, quick to cut and mail checks. Barbie ((hugs)) Pip nice summer ‘do! Machka “…might appear to be a lost cause ... but we can get out our acrylic paint pens and work with it to create something different that makes us smile. :)” :love: this! Jackie…
-
Today’s gratitude: physical therapist hinted that, all things remaining equal, I could be done at the end of the month. Yay! Now to pull up my big girl panties and sign up for BB&B at the gym. Rosemarie, Kay and Rori, so good to see you posting! Welcome @jackiekost ! We’re happy you found us too! Rita wow 2.5 pedaling…
