I have to get more walking shoes for the treadmill. Scott from the apartment complex moved the dresser so there is room to put a treadmill. I asked my trust to get me a pair of walking sneakers I ordered by check. I am getting cable today. I wish I could cancel. I am tying to cancel charter but I have to wait till 7am. I thought when I moved the dresser the antenna would not work on the tv.But it does.The trust may not be able to pay for clothing.

Good morning! Thanks for starting us Amy!
Amy, ditto what Brenda said, hope it all works out!
Brenda, WTG on walking yesterday and today too! Are you feeling better today? Have you and your son been able to have your birthday dinner yet?
I've done 30 minutes this morning on my glider and am planning on going to the gym after work for the leg weight machines and a spinning class.
Starting second week of the diet, so far so good. I can stick to this diet plan as long as I can keep my emotions in check, I'm not hungry or even having cravings.
The new shoes have made a big difference for me, my arch and ankle no longer ache. But still much to soon for any walking inside or out, the foot still hurts but at least now it hurts where its expected too! And that is lessening. I'm really lucky my insurance ended up covering the bone stimulator, it's definitely speeding up the process!

I don't know if anyone has experienced this, but in the past few years, there has been a large number of friends or close relatives of friends, all about my age, that have died. Our pipeband leader and founder, Jack, had a heart attack yesterday. He survived it and his heart is working okay, but he wasn't breathing for awhile so they are still waiting to see if there's any neurological damage. We're all waiting to hear how's he's going to be.
Since turning 55, there have been so many deaths of friends and family MY age. I found out last week that my cousin's wife(53) killed herself last November, no doubt due to a brain abnormality discovered via MRI just 3 months before she died, also explaining her recent odd behavior, blacking out and severe headaches. That makes 8(?) deaths in the past 18 months!
I feel like if I can just survive until I'm 60 then I probably live to 90.
