Hello my friends! Well I had a grand time at the dinner theater Saturday night, but we were up past midnight. I was awake again at five. So one very short night and I am still recovering! At least I got the groceries done today. But I took a break from my rowing and stationary bike. Maybe tomorrow I can get back to my…

Good morning my friends! I planned to go walking this morning but now my foot hurts. The broken part isn't healing. Hmm. Machka Yay for July walking! Pat welcome! Online communities are only as good as the people in them, and we are the best! Ginny good luck with your cats. May you all be happy, healthy, safe, and free!…

Good afternoon my friends! Heather I'm sorry for your loss. May Allan rest in peace. Lisa hope the vertigo passes quickly! Pip Yay for the obstacle course! Barbie thank you for the new thread! Sandy and Kelli welcome! Lanette yes that skill of gentle refusal is always useful. Ginny sorry for your stumble. We are going to…

Good afternoon my friends! Yay for escaping tsunami damage! So glad everyone is okay. At least as far as I know. I haven't seen the news. Lanette glad Fairy is better. Lisa sorry for your vertigo. Hope the Gatorade helps. Yay for writing! Heather Yay for a new cupboard! The right piece is so satisfying. I have a perfect…

Good morning my friends! Wow a tsunami! Hope everyone is safe. Lisa lovely tomatoes! Pip Ethel is so relaxed with her new family! You did a great job getting her tired. Allie yes stay cool! Are your tremors better yet? Glad your brother wasn't hurt worse. Crazy drivers! Ginny yes it will be an emotional day but you made a…

Good afternoon my friends! Dad's back is much better but I still kept him home today. It's a four hour class sitting in a basic chair, so he would have been in pain. Machka sorry about the messy project. I once did a group programming project with a guy who couldn't spell. Agonizing! But it made me proud of my meticulous…

Good morning my friends! Dad had a headache and backache yesterday. He didn't get out of bed until 4 pm. Then he wouldn't sit still, so the heating pad was impossible. Such an impatient baby as a patient. He wouldn't eat the cheese sandwich I made, but he had two servings of ice cream. No fever and no lopsided pain. Today…

Good morning my friends! Dad got up for a minute earlier and he is moving like he hurt his back. So I'm letting him sleep through church. I hope he isn't mad at me. I also cancelled lunch plans. And we can postpone the grocery store to tomorrow. He called me by my mom's name last night for the first time. Sad. I think he…

Good morning my friends! Yes I will have to adapt to bending the truth as he gets worse. I need to get faster and more clever about it. For now I can think of something about two hours late. Ginny Yay for the new apartment! Sounds like you are having a slow, planned move instead of the one crazy day approach. Excellent!…

Good morning my friends! Thanks for all the kind words about my Dad. Your support is very helpful.He seems to have forgotten the idea of selling the house and moving. Yay! I might tell him he can't sell because the house is in a trust, if he brings it up. I'm getting closer to lying to him every day. So sad. Machka Dad…

Good morning my friends! Ginny a tornado? Wow. A new roof plus, so sorry about the damage. We are so glad you are okay! Carol sorry your back hurts. Machka so brave to be out in the storm! Lanette Yay for the gym! It's a mental challenge to start over with exercise, but you can do it. Athletes get hurt but persevere! Lisa…

Good morning my friends! My sister was telling me about rucking, wearing a weighted vest, for weight loss. Not sure if my knee would take that. But it's interesting. Pip lovely painted project! I don't know what to call it. Evelyn Yay for son's visit! Mo Wow pneumonia and a presentation on top of pregnancy! My Dad is…

Good morning my friends! I think everything I wanted to say has already been said! My sister will be here early afternoon I think. So Dad will miss his sing along class. I have some last minute chores to get done. May you all be happy, healthy, safe and free! Annie in Delaware

Good morning my friends! Margaret Yay for down three pounds! Excellent! That's tough to do within your strict diet. Debbie families used to rely on paper to figure out the assets of a person who passed. But many accounts don't have paper anymore. My 401k has no paper trail and nobody else knows how to contact them or who…

Good morning my friends! Lisa Yay for gastro progress! Yay for Skyrizi! And I'm glad your glasses widen your vision. They look great! Machka I have nothing against people who choose to stay home but everyone needs a job skill, if not education, just in case. You were wise to pursue it despite the struggle. Well done! Beth…

Good morning my friends! Michele glad you feel better. And Yay for the new water meter! Sounds like a painless fix to what could have been a major hassle. Rebecca yes a new car is a major transition. Allie getting a wheelchair is smart. People are more understanding and patient with you. Terri my family was good with…

Good evening my friends! I got caught up in a novel and used up my morning quiet time, so I'm running late today. Margaret hope this is the end of the leg cramps. Rita glad you feel better today. Carol sorry about your son's dog. Heather glad your tours are sorted. Rebecca lovely haircut! And glad your youngest is getting…

Good morning my friends! Lanette seeing fawns is magical! Rita take care of yourself! That dizzy spell is worrisome. Margaret Yay for peonies from the fridge! Rebecca best wishes for youngest on his journey. Some people can eat whatever, but some of us take years of trial and error to find food that works without issues.…

Good morning my friends! Barbie yes I started listening to podcasts. I have earbuds that allow me to hear where Dad is and what he is up to. Margaret thanks for the flowers! Rebecca I do talk to strangers when I am feeling good. Yay for the new car! Michele Wow that much water! Something is wrong. Hope you feel better by…

Good morning my friends! Barbie you are right that meeting new friends or gentlemen is unlikely for me right now. My goal is more about having normal adult conversations. Sometimes I turn the radio on, but it interferes with Dad's hearing. Michele you are right you can't tell why the kids sold the condo. My Dad still talks…

Hello my friends! I'm late but I read through. I don't think I could handle an RV. I like my stuff and I like big showers. And where would I put my six bookcases? My rowing machine and stationary bike? I got up from reading today and came back to find Dad sitting in my place. Next to my books my phone and my stuff. He is…

Hello my friends! Dad put on pants this morning Yay! Beth hope your DH can find relief without surgery. Rita hope your doctor can help you. Heather Yay for noise cancelling headphones! Kim hugs as you figure this out Tracey Yay for a good event with DH! Lisa an excellent plan! Debbie glad things are better with DH Allie…

Good morning my friends! Lanette glad T's FIL found a place. Debbie drat that jackhammer! Pip Happy birthday to Kirby! Allie cute pics! Tracey yes pants downstairs would help. But then he would wear them back upstairs at the end of the day. But there might be a way. Hmm. My sitter cancelled on me so I didn't get to the…

Good morning my friends! Lisa your front yard is beautiful! Reminds me of Kylia. Lots of grass to mow. Machka sorry about the arthritis. Concept2 makes a great rower, I hear. Tina Enjoy London and Dublin! Rebecca Yay for lifting weights! Hope the new dose goes well. Terri blackcurrant jelly sounds lovely!my grandmother…

Good morning my friends! Thanks for your support over the rower. I'm sure it will be useful. I got a request for a review, which I usually ignore because it will have my real name. But they clearly advertised this rower as including the free training app. Hmm. No anti-inflammatory for me. I've got a touch of bad kidney and…

Well I tried the rower and the basic functions are fine. I did ten minutes. But they have removed the free app from the app store with no explanation. All I get is the little monitor, smaller than a phone with a few numbers. It doesn't even display strokes per minute. And the footpads are too close to the front, so that…

Good morning my friends! I am done wearing that clunky plastic boot on my broken foot Yay! I have two weeks with my sturdy hiking boots and gentle exercise. Then back to the usual. My mom used to wash some of my clothes with vinegar but then they smelled of vinegar all day. She either used too much or I was sensitive.…

Good morning my friends! Barbie Yay for the filters! Well-done! Rori yes you two are inspiring! I can't even imagine a relationship that would work right now. But it's not over yet. I'm 63. Beth glad the mattress helped with back pain for DH. Bet your dog was cute in the pool! Debbie a wonderful family memory of shucking…

Hello my friends! Wow it's almost evening! I got lost in a good book for much of the day. I did assemble my rowing machine Yay! But I haven't put the batteries in or found the app yet. I stopped to do my self care meditation and exercise bike and to check in with you all! Dad's trick of the day was leaving his underwear on…

Good morning my friends! Lisa glad you were okay leaving the house. A step back, but hope things will get calmer. Heather Yay for getting the washer fixed. Mine could do with a cleaning. Maybe when my sister is here. Margaret thanks for the water lily! Rita Yay for DH quitting drinking! The transition may be tough, but so…
