Good evening beautiful ladies! Today is my birthday! Yay! My sister is here and made me a marvelous chicken dinner with stuffing and gravy and cranberry sauce, and chocolate cake! My Dad had a sing along performance so we all went to hear them sing. And tomorrow we will go out with C. Have a lovely day my friends! May you…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Vicki hugs to you in your job search! My sister is coming late today, so I have a few extra tasks and some grocery shopping to do. I need to remember to get the coffee maker out and buy creamer. Etc. lots of busy work. Dad has a sing along performance on Wednesday. I need to know what he…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Lisa glad you got out and tried a show. You learned about your market. Did the other tables do well? What did they do differently? Rebecca that peppermint sounds lovely! Yay! Debbie glad you had a good show and saw your friends. I got my oil changed yesterday and they said the battery was…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Penny I also have sweets in the house for my father. I keep it out of sight, and move it higher or further away when it gets tempting. I notice that I get triggered, like when I walk in the laundry room I think about the cookies in there. So I play games like I won't eat one now but if I…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Rita glad your fall was minor. Still scary though. Meg so sorry to hear about your DH and the mistaken phone call. Hope his treatment goes well. I read a police novel, the Missing Witness by Alison Brennan, and that was good but not great. Maybe my expectations were too high because this one…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Vicki hugs for you and your job hunt! My sister is coming on Monday! Yay! I thought she would be busy through the holidays, but I guess she made us a priority. Feels good. I took Dad to his memory care doctor yesterday. His cognitive score is declining, which tracks with my observations. The…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Heather picturing you and John painting cards for each other is a beautiful tender loving scene. Maybe you could paint a representation of that! We are going walking in the early morning chill. At least the sun is up. Then dad has an appointment at the memory clinic. The furnace guy came…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Thank you Lisa. Maybe my expectations are off, you are right. Vicki glad to see you are applying for new jobs. You might find something you never heard of before that fits perfectly! Sue too bad you are still dealing with damage from your toxic tenant. Hope there's an end to it soon. Michele…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Diana in Texas welcome! Barbie I love that blanket! Such tiny stitches! Well I got ahead of myself with my gut recovery. I need more patience. I'm still in the no fiber phase so no fruits or vegetables. We have rain here today. Good thing because the yard was getting dusty. I have a very busy…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Michele thanks! My mom used to make an apple crumb pie. There was a mix of flour, cinnamon, and butter that got poked in between the apples and over top of them to absorb the juice. Ginny glad your cyst was removed! Tracey cute houses! My weekends drag in the afternoons because Dad doesn't…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Thanks to Carol, Lisa, Tracey, Lanette, and Rosemarie for your encouragement! Penny it's so hard to know whether to challenge or rest an injury. Good luck with it. Rita so glad you are getting care! Tina Hello! Sorry about your eye. Allie great weight loss! Good luck with your brother. Machka…

Good morning beautiful ladies! I don't wear makeup at all anymore. I used to use mascara on special occasions but that's expensive because it keeps expiring. And I don't bother with jewelry anymore either. There's nobody I want to impress. And I resent that women are expected to color themselves, as if natural beauty was…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Lisa what a pretty jacket! Rosemarie thank you. A new puppy! How exciting! Terri I love the colors in the phoenix. You really made it shine! I think I missed some, hugs to all of you, my friends. I'm just feeling off today. I have a couple beautiful scarves from my fiber art days. But I don't…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Welcome Penny in TX! How did the apnea test go? Many of us have had that. Mine comes and goes which is unexpected. Heather Yay for the new cruise! It's good to hear you so excited. Machka Yay for climbing stairs again. Tracey and Barbara thank you for the well wishes. I'm doing much better,…

Yup, I moved the matches way out of sight. My dad is very bad at looking for things. Annie

Good morning beautiful ladies! Rebecca I love how you challenge all the routine things. Hope your hair project goes well. I stopped brushing mine so much because I pull out strands and it's thin to begin with. I ought to take the biotin again, that seemed to help. Lisa and Lanette yes my gut is healing. I'm going to stay…

Pip glad Kirby is okay. What a disappointment after all that training. But you did the right thing walking back with him, and we are proud of you. Annie in Delaware

Good morning beautiful ladies! Lisa Barbara and Michele yes jello is okay on my clear liquid diet. I just don't have any in the house. Amazon will deliver jello cups and powder. But the good news is that the pain is gone so I'm starting solids. A bit of rice last night and an egg this morning. I'm not good at pacing…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Pip I am so proud of you and your running! Hope all goes well on Sunday! Rita so sad for Jim. May he rest in peace. Michele thanks! Barbara and the rest of you all, thanks for listening to me through all this. I'm feeling a little weak and have a headache today. Tremendous urge to eat…

Well I went to the ER and got my CT scan. No perforation or obstruction. Just mild diverticulitis. So continue with the liquid diet. I've lost ten pounds now. But my patience is coming to an end. This is the first year ever that I haven't had Halloween candy. At this point, just some yogurt would be wonderful. But all I've…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Allie Delia has a beautiful smile in that picture! And good to see Carmine. Barbie hope Jake feels better. And thank you for the thread! Ginny thanks for the diverticulitis info. Sorry you have such a bundle of health issues. I'm thinking of going to the ER. I could get that CT scan I need.…

Lanette I went ahead and scheduled the colonoscopy for January, and let my sister know. So I hope she can be here for that. She was going to drive up next week but cancelled because protests are predicted for after the election. She will be busy with her family and Thanksgiving and Christmas after that. So I don't know…

Thank you Flea! Annie in Delaware

Good morning beautiful ladies! Lanette thanks for the carpet tip! I saw a doctor yesterday and he said three more days of clear liquids diet. I'm not really hungry, but I keep thinking it's time for a food treat. And every time I go in the kitchen I think about what I could eat. Tea or broth or water. It's getting old. I…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Mo as others have said you have a very difficult job, and you deal with it like a saint! I have been up all night with my dog. I gave him some plain rice but he doesn't want it yet. I bought myself a new teal bathroom rug. The old ones had long pile that always looked ratty. The new one is a…

Well Teddy had a streak of eight years with no accidents in the house. And he really did try to tell me. He woke me up at one, and we went out. Then he woke me up at two, and I didn't believe him. So he finally went in the corner of my bedroom. I wonder if this is the beginning of an old age thing for him. But that is…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Happy birthday Katiebug! You look marvelous! Carol that's a beautiful tree! Lisa love the blue house color! Allie glad you are home safe. Is lupus a new diagnosis? Thanks for all the well wishes. I'm feeling better, as long as I stay under 500 calories of drab food. I'm back to cooking for…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Allie welcome back! Tracey so glad you like the new job, after all you went through. Rita hope you get some relief! And those moves are very pretty! Well, I'm still sick when I eat, and in the morning. I only had one egg this morning, so that should be easier on my gut than yesterday. I'm…

Good morning beautiful ladies! Well the diet of eggs rice tea and antibiotics doesn't seem to be reducing my diverticulitis episode. I must take my Dad to church so I can get alone time for a shower. But after that, it's rest and relax and make Sunday dinner for Dad. Meditation would be a challenge, but maybe I should try…
