The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

My five… Posted by Cindy on 5/27/2025, 8:46 pm, in reply to "Tuesday Grats " 1. Today was day 5 of my long 5 day weekend. I have enjoyed my time off with Ken. Slept in all five days and took naps 4 out of 5 of the days! 2. Streaming movies. Ken and I have been watching a lot of movies and started watching the Mission Impossible series. Believe it or not we didn’t watch them when they originally came out! 3. Starting to plan our kitchen remodel. I don’t want to start it for a couple of months but by the end of summer I’d love to have it completed! 4. Time off work with pay. Always love that! 5. This day and all it has to offer me. God is good.

Naps Posted by Cindyh on 5/28/2025, 2:38 am, in reply to "My five…" Are addictive. I think it’s because I don’t sleep well at night but last week I HAD to have a nap pretty much every day just to get through the day. I’ve never been that way. I had to think “be kind to yourself “. As far as the MI movies we have not watched any of them either!! We were just talking about that! Glad you had nice time off

Cindy... Posted by Beverly on 5/28/2025, 12:53 am, in reply to "My five…" Yay... paid leave!! Have fun doing your new kitchen!!!

Thank you Beverly… Posted by Cindy on 5/28/2025, 1:41 am, in reply to "Cindy... " It’s fun putting ideas on paper and planning!

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 5/27/2025, 9:51 am, in reply to "Tuesday Grats " 1) sunny and hot enough to be outside in pool today and tomorrow! Went in last night when I got home 2) Dad's scope is this afternoon and then next steps from cancer doctor will follow 3) 2 pensions that are more than enough to pay the bills 4) sleeping. Oh, how I love to sleep! 5) heading out into the sun to read for an hour before heading over to Dads

Wishing your dad all good outcomes. Posted by Paula on 5/27/2025, 11:41 am, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" Want a Pic of that pool!

Thanks Paula Posted by Krista on 5/27/2025, 7:57 pm, in reply to "Wishing your dad all good outcomes." The cancer has not grown and they are waiting 6 weeks before they operate. The doctor was honest with him and said he will probably need an ostomy bag. Dad is surprisingly ok with things - he said it's better to live with a bag that not to live at all.

Coming in late Posted by Joan on 5/28/2025, 11:04 am, in reply to "Thanks Paula" I'm glad your Dad got some answers and is surprisingly okay with things! Thank you, Jesus! May I also add here that this morning when I was applying my moisturizer, I had a flashback to 30(?) years ago when I had my first appointment with a dermatologist with dry skin, rash, hives... and I thought of you. While the dermatologist did prescribe prescription strength topical ointments and shampoo, he also made a point (much to my annoyance) of blaming extra weight/what I was eating as the real culprit for the problem. Of course, I checked with Dr. Google this morning, and if you're interested, here's more current information: https://www.healthcentral.com/condition/obesity/obesity-and-skin-health

Thanks Joan Posted by Krista on 5/28/2025, 3:22 pm, in reply to "Coming in late" Scrolled down and don't see any hives there like I have. But I am sure the allergist will mention and if not I will ask next week when getting tested. My wonderful doc has never linked the two

Great attitude. Posted by Delta on 5/28/2025, 2:51 am, in reply to "Thanks Paula" Ostomy bags are not the end of the world. I hope he gets a good wound nurse to teach him how to care for it and does what they tell him. Have him ask for the instructions to be in writing. It is hard to remember some things after you get home.

That’s good Krista Posted by Cindyh on 5/28/2025, 2:36 am, in reply to "Thanks Paula" Exactly how my dad took the news. You would never know he has one. Except when the bag farts occasionally lol. It really is good news the cancer has not grown.

Krista Posted by Beverly on 5/28/2025, 12:51 am, in reply to "Thanks Paula" I love your dad's attitude. Wonderful... to have enough.

Glad your dad… Posted by Cindy on 5/27/2025, 8:48 pm, in reply to "Thanks Paula" Is okay with how things could turn out. His positive attitude will help so much! How are you and Paul doing? Any help with your dad to give you guys some respite?

Great attitude pops! Posted by Paula on 5/27/2025, 8:18 pm, in reply to "Thanks Paula" Good news!

Mine Posted by Paula on 5/27/2025, 8:59 am, in reply to "Tuesday Grats " Neighbors checking in with me pre-surgery. We're all old. One who has helped me a lot with other surgeries is have a knee replacement June 12th. Another, I haven't been in touch with much. Joanne is in her 80s and I know she will be willing to water plants and visit me. Deborah will be with .e the day of surgery but is going on a trip a few days later. Guess I need to let Patti know what's going on. Money is going to be so tight for awhile. I can always pick up more hours when I'm well. That's a great thing about my profession. Found the codicil to my Will. I don't think Carin has it so will mail it to her. Kind of a theme going on here, eh?

Paula Posted by Beverly on 5/28/2025, 12:57 am, in reply to "Mine" It is wonderful to have so many people to help after your surgery!! You will get the work... of course.
