Good morning friends. It's a cold morning. In fact, I woke up and had to put a light blanket on. When I woke up the temperature was 41. We didn't get to sit out last night...far too cold for that. I guess those days will be few and far between.
No plans...will just walk and do a few things around here and call it a Tuesday 
Pam so happy that you got your walk in. It's been so pleasant here that adding steps hasn't been a problem. Unbelievable how long you had to wait for DH Rx. If the shoe were on the other foot I doubt very much they would have been able to keep their cool.
I agree, the medical profession really HAS come a long way. My grandmother also had the endoscopy done without anything back in the day. Many years later, that surgeon came into her room as she was admitted and she sat up in bed, pointed to the door and said GET OUT. My mother was there at the time and had no clue why she reacted that way. After she left my grandmother filled her in. That doctor went back into his archives and looked up her name and realized that she was a patient of his 'back in the day'. She DID have the procedure done, but not by him. For years we all had a good laugh over that story.
You have a busy day and happy that you are cutting out some time for YOU.
(((Judy))) Have not seen the message. Will read and respond to it.
Waving...and will CBL

Good Morning, WW Friends ~
Happy Tuesday! I had trouble falling asleep last night - my mind kept racing! But I finally did and then woke early. DH had an early morning Echo appointment and we both had wake-up time on our brain. He left in plenty of time and has already returned, had some breakfast with me and is off to buy tires.
Ann ~ It was cold here this morning as well - right around 40. I closed the windows last night all except for the bedroom which I left open about an inch just for fresh air. I got up and started up the fireplace to warm up the living room while I had my coffee.
Pam ~ I so envy your soft water (I think?). While our water does not have any rust or minerals, it is very hard. Fortunately a water softener does the trick for that - and it delicious for drinking. Good job on getting your DH's Rx. I had the same kind of frustrating experience recently getting my DH's Rx, so I can definitely feel for you.
Judy ~ I read your message first thing this morning. How horrific!! My heart just breaks for you and your family. I would think you had been through enough recently. Good job on getting the right shoes!!
I just showered and dressed in sweats and it feels great!! I plan to stay close to home today. I have sorted one load of laundry to do - and then plan to IP some HB eggs and later on some pork chops with fingerling potatoes for supper. I had a fruit bowl and a HB egg for breakfast - and will have some cabbage soup for lunch. My weight is up (not surprisingly) and I need to rein it in right now!!
I never did get to read yesterday as I had a problem with my tablet and my favorite game, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it is fine now. But I spent way too much time on that.
I hope we get to enjoy a fire this evening, but we'll see .....
BBL. Make a great day!!

Sue sorry for you sleep issues. I'm sure it was due to the fact that DH had his appointment. Happy that's over with and that he has the distraction of getting new tires. Sue you are fortunate to be able to actually 'drink' your water. Ours is hard as well and has a funny smell (to me) to it, so I won't use it to drink or to make coffee. We have the zero water pitcher and just buy the filters when the water creeps up in number. I have one on the counter for coffee and LuLa's water and one in the fridge for drinking. Works well for us. I also hope that you get to enjoy a fire tonight. I bet those sweats feel great We just came back from a hood walk to check the mail. No news is GOOD news LOL. We kept on walking as it was a beautiful morning. I'm tired today so just going to take it easy. We are having Chicken Alfredo tonight. Pointy, so the rest of the day I'll go lighter. Sue remember you did eat out twice with bday party and all, so I'm sure that's why the little blip in the scale. You are wise to nip it in the bud before it mushrooms. Us weight watchers know all the tricks LOL. Will CBL...... Pam hope all is going well with DH...Judy (((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))) this is totally INSANE! |

Hey friends,
I dropped another note in the message "bin." Sorry to be bringing such hard news and burdening everyone. I used to be a fun person. I hope that girl comes back some day!
Hope you are all having a good day. I have to rein in my eating. One positive thing - I have learned that stress like this causes me to eat! Other types of extreme anxiety cause me to lose my appetite. Anger and disappointment cause me to dive into food for comfort.
I'll check in later when my peace of mind comes back a little bit. Hugs and thanks to all.

Judy you and I are cut from the same cloth. Stress does it to me all the time. When I'm anxious I can't eat period. My stomach is tied in a bunch of knots.
I know that 'fun lovin' Judy' will come back. We won't ALLOW you to be gone for long.
Please take care of YOU during all of this. What I've learned through many years of therapy is that if you don't sustain yourself you are no good to anyone else around you. (((hugs)))

Hello friends,
It seems a little cooler today, or maybe it's just my wishful thinking. I am ready for fall!!! Anyway, we had a nice breeze as we walked this morning. I still sweat lots, but that and the breeze cooled me off some, lol. I straightened the house, made the bed and dusted the bedroom when I got back and finished just in time for the HH nurse to come. The PT showed up shortly after HH left. While she showed DH some exercises to do in bed, I ate breakfast. I puttered around with plants outside for a bit and then DD showed up to chauffeur her dad to his treatment. After they left, I made a quick trip to town to pick up a prescription for DH, then worked in the garden a bit picking okra and weeding. Little by little, I am conquering the terrible weed patches. Most are dead now from the Roundup I sprayed. I felt more like working outside than I did mopping floors, which can wait until tomorrow.
I had toast, boiled egg and a banana for breakfast and steamed okra and my leftover shrimp and veggies for lunch. Dinner will be baked pork chops, sauteed cabbage, oven-fried okra and beets.
I loved hearing about your cool weather. It gives me hope that fall is not far away.

Judy (((hugs))) this is WAY TOO MUCH for you and DH to handle. Prayers prayers and MORE prayers continue. Pam once again sounds like you had a busy day. At least you are taking care of YOU which is so important. Glad that you weeds are dying off. Your dinner sounds delish. I too am so enjoying the cool weather. Only drawback is that it's too cold at 9 to enjoy our wine in the screen room. Oh well...it's a small price to pay. I know that at some point the weather will heat up again. I'll take advantage of this coolness. Happy to say that once again I managed to hit my Garmin goal. I over did it in the snacking department. A dear neighbor of ours brought in two slices of ricotta cheese pie from a bakery in Boston. I am not sure of the name, but any bakery in the North end is delicious Carl and I haven't been there in years. We used to take the T in and go to the concerts there all the time in another lifetime LOL. Anyway, I'm sure that the scale will reflect that tomorrow and rightfully so. It was well worth each and every bite that I ate very s l o w l y Going to sit and read a bit. Seems like every time I picked up the kindle my phone rang. So annoying as none of them were calls for me...just the robo call variety........regardless of which side of the political fence you are on...all political calls stink in my book! Sweet dreams..... |
