WHAT CAN YOU DO TUESDAY 11/5?

Ann, as you know, it is all about balance. DH chooses what we eat Saturday night and my weight usually goes up. Then I am careful for two days and it is down again.
Becky, take care of your knee if the pain continues.
I will track, move and hydrate as well. DS and his family are coming for dinner. DH is buying steaks so I will eat less meat and more vegetables and salad. I have a manicure in the morning and not sure what else I will do but DD gave me all of the law firm's Christmas cards to prepare for mailing. Everything is pre-printed so it will be busy work I can do while watching tv. There is obviously lots of time to do this but it is better to do now when I don't have other things of my own to occupy my time.

Good morning
Sleep is good medicine.
Yesterday was too much-- too many fires and not enough June to go around.
All of this too hard to explain. Upshots- mom fell, I could not stay with her more than 1 hr., b/c R alone & plumbing fiasco. R overdoing. plumbing issues made worse by R's repair attempts. rain was coming so I could not stay w/ mom. Camehome, R in bathroom washing up & shaving, so tired that he was swaying on his feet. Plumbing upheaval & discussion, finally convinced R to direct me on how to put auxiliary pump in place to push water out hose run through the window.

Afternoon Consult w/ plumbing estimator hadsome moments that felt like I was talking to basement contractor. Uneasy. Do not know which way to turn. Can not see how waterproofer can install the window cover on Weds., push dirt up against house where there are voids, and do final grading.  rAIN, RAIN GO AWAY.  Leit's not). These issues are causing lots of water to pour into sump crock. Water pours in. R has two pumps in sump, how they are plumb iscancelling each other out. So R's decision to install two pumps causing more problems. State of waterproofing project is big part of problem. Final grading should help a great deal, but not likely to happen Weds. W/o final grading, I cannot tell if we can do yet another plumbing adjustment that will let us hold off until spring. If we hire sump work, it will likely be an excuse for slimy basement contractorto void warranty on 2 1/2 walls that he did do. We just spent a serious chunk of $$ on waterproofing w/ all overrides. Took all on R's separation $$ and then some. R is overdoing it. He isback to the push it mode.

There's more. But that is enough to give you some insight.

I will get a second cup of tea, make some steel cut oats, and try to start thisday on a high note.
I will sit myself down and reframe, count my blessings, and map out a plan.

Will be back for personals later if I can.

<<<HUGS, PRAYERS, LOVE>>> June

((((((((((((((hugs and prayers)))))))))))))) June and R. Lighting a candle for you

Good morning all - today is just a day of KOKO. Thank goodness I don't have PT this afternoon and can just go home. I really need to take a walk. After my session on Monday I went by Aldi and Foodlion and stocked up for the week. I did not get home until almost 8 PM. I'm just tired.

Ann, I'm so behind on my walks. On Saturday we hiked up to Roan Mt. and that was nice and refreshing. I will most likely get one in today. Hope you enjoyed the smoked pork.

Becky so sorry your knee is still so bothersome. hopefully the new doc can help. fingers crossed.

Audrey, good idea to get those cards done early. The meal tonight sounds good. I only have breakfast and lunch planned so far.

June, I'm so sorry you're dealing with so much...prayers are being sent your way. Hope you can feel the love and support.

Susi, best of luck getting the new kitty. Can't wait to hear about it

Bee, yes, I agree so much turmoil..sending love and prayers your way too.....

AND for all of our group and their families.

Good morning Ann, Becky, Audrey, MJ, Bee and LaDonna
