:) Terri, Happy Birthday. I love your long hair. Great color. :) Annie, your dad is enjoying his life. I hope he can keep doing that. We have a battery powered electric lawn mower and my husband who had a bunch of health problems is able to us it easily and keep the yard the way he likes it. :) Rita I'd be glad to be…

:) I have been retired from teaching in the public schools for nearly 20 years and things have changed in the world since then. What I remember is that we tried to take field trips using parent volunteers to drive instead of paying for bus transportation (very expensive with fuel and salary costs) and found it difficult or…

:) Rebecca cute hairstyle. Glad you are happy with it :) My hair was starting to get long when the pandemic started and hair salons shut down. I haven't had a professional cut since. I have trimmed the ends myself a few times. I like to to tie it up in pigtails with colorful scrunched. <3 Barbie in NW WA

:) Lanette my concern was about our daughter if we are both gone. I have everything and know where everything is. No, we haven't recorded the community property agreement but the original is in the safe deposit box and copies are in our house <3 Barbie

:) Lisa My experience with acupuncture was that it was delightful, peaceful, and relaxing but had no effect on my pain. I stopped because it was so expensive :) BarbaraThanks for the news about Katla :) I thought going to the bank would feel great putting the new Wills in the box until I discovered how many hoops we have…

:) Hooray. We went to the lawyer's office and signed our wills, community property agreement, durable power of attorney, and health care directives. Annie came into the office with us and behaved well. Tomorrow I'll go to the bank to put the new wills in the safe deposit box and bring home the old documents to be shredded.…

:) Lanette Your explanation of family staying with you was perfect. It will be a great visit. Also your feelings about carpet are just like mine You expressed it so clearly. Comfort is important to me <3 Barbie in NW WA

:) Lanette, if relatives announced that they were coming to stay over at my house and I thought the dogs wouldn't like it, I'd tell the relatives to stay at a hotel and keep my dogs at home. As you can see, I like dogs more than I like people. :)

:) I like carpet. It's warm on my feet and feels secure when I walk (like I won't slip and fall). I like the look of hardwood floors but don't like the idea that they are slippery for dogs and people. :) I avoid going to restaurants as much as possible. I meet friends for a walk or if they come over, Jake makes coffee. I…

:) Jake's daughter sent us shirts with the logo of her counseling practice and wanted a photo of us in the shirts. Here we are: 🌻🌞❤Barbie in NW WA

:) Someone I know has a "911 Playlist" on her phone. It's a group of songs that will bring her out of a funk and they are always available to her.

:) Slept a bit later than usual but still had time for an hour's walk, some with and some without dogs, before going to pick up our groceries for the week. Walked with my friend for 30 minutes and with Annie the puppy for another 30 minutes before preparing lunch (homemade chicken mole with corn tortillas). After lunch…

:) Today and yesterday (and most of the time) I listened to podcasts called "Happier" "More Happier" "The Happiness Lab" and "10% Happier" I didn't read, listen to, or watch the news. I talked to or spent time only with people who have a positive outlook on life. I spent a lot of time with myself or my husband or my dogs.…

Since January 24 only skipped one day :) March 25--36 squats March 26--36 squats March 27--36 squats March 28--36 squats March 29--36 squats :) Far more important than the number of squats is the fact that I am remembering to do them. I'm not trying to do more each day, just do them every day.

<3 Michele sorry about Loki. You gave him a wonderful life. <3 Pip, sorry about your mom.

:) All my eating is planned by time, location, and food. I follow my plan. Strategy is stronger than willpower. Your plan may be different from mine but if you stick to your plan you will succeed. I eat one of my meals at the computer and one on my recumbent bike while watching TV. Some people would be horrified by that…

:) Thank you for all the lovely birthday wishes and all your news. :) I'm not much for birthdays and Jake knows that so he doesn't make a fuss. We got take out Mexican food on Friday because he is charge of lunch on my dance days. The food was great and lasted for two meals. At 3 AM on my birthday when we took the dogs out…
