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"

Wednesday Grats Posted by Delta on 8/27/2025, 8:51 pm, in reply to "Wednesday grats?" Video of our great-grandson running around. We miss him so much. Also, when talking to our grandson or his wife, we can hear him talking in the background, and he is getting better at expressing himself in sentences every time we hear him. He still won't talk on the phone. He will listen, then push it away the same as he has done for the past year. Talked to my mother today. Her foot has hurt all the way through for almost a week, so badly that she has had trouble even getting to the bathroom or letting the dog out. She said that today it is not hurting her. The outside temperatures at the end of last week and this week. It is wonderful! It was even a bit chilly last night when I let Poppy out. Much different than still being 93° plus heat index at midnight. Like it has been for over a month. Re-lieved patches with lidocaine. My neck has a crick in it today, with the pain running down my right shoulder. It is making it bearable. Finally getting my husband to see and agree that we don't need 3 or more acres, and he doesn't need a 40'X50' shop at this time of our lives. I know his mind has all this stuff he wants to do, but he has finally begun to accept this week that even with just half an acre and a smaller shop that it takes all the time he is willing to give it. With more, we wouldn't be able to do anything else. Putting animals on it, like he was talking about, would mean not going to the lake or to see my mother or anything else. Reality bites, but it is best to see it before getting more than we can handle. I want ease at this point in life, not more work that HAS to be done and more stress.

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 8/27/2025, 11:08 am, in reply to "Wednesday grats?" 1) 14 years with the love of my life as his Mrs. 15 1/2 together 2) blood results being sent to the Ontario doc today. Only one missing is zinc (10 day wait) but if it's ok with doc, I will have a call on Friday with the anesthesiologist 3) Optifast shakes have been delivered. They sell online for over $100 and they sent me 3 boxes. I could not be more impressed with this 360 Sleeve Clinic. 4) going to a QUEEN Tribute concert tomorrow night (Ray and I) 5) sunshine

It sounds like Posted by Delta on 8/27/2025, 6:17 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" You have found a wonderful clinic that works well with you. I am so happy for you! The Queen tribute sounds fun. Enjoy yourself!

Mine Posted by Paula on 8/27/2025, 7:34 am, in reply to "Wednesday grats?" I didn't gain any weight. I 'only' blew through my calories on 2 days but my choices everyday leaned toward high fat and carb comfort foods. I don't know ow why my sleep schedule has shifted but I have awakened so early last week and this week...anywhere from 2:30 to 5:30. It's not pain or itching (sometimes itching); I don't wake up with conscious worries about Carin ( though I miss her so much). We text some everyday but it's not the same. I have no idea how it's all going. I don't ask and she doesn't offer. So, I'm up. Probably a good time for those walks I keep saying I need! Made it through 5 clients yesterday. I was tired at the end but just 'normal' tired from spending 6 hours in other people's heads. My back held up while doing those 6 hours. My back still hurts quite a bit. It's not as bad as it did before this debacle. 3 clients and the nurse today.

I hate that you are waking up Posted by Delta on 8/27/2025, 6:14 pm, in reply to "Mine" so early but hope that you are able to go to sleep a little earlier to offset it. If you really want something to do, there are lots of free walking videos on YouTube that you can do in the comfort and safety of your home when it is still dark outside. They make it go faster for me, too. Leslie Sansone has them from 7 minutes all the way up to 5 miles, so you would be able to add on as you work up, but there are others that have them there too. I don't know if your TV picks up YouTube video, one of mine does, one doesn't, but it is more motivational for me to do them from the TV than the computer and forget my phone, cause that doesn't cut it at all for exercise for me. Being back to 5 and 6 clients a day sounds as if getting back to normal in all areas is right around the corner.

???Why did this post again so late??? Posted by Delta on 8/27/2025, 8:04 pm, in reply to "I hate that you are waking up " My computer has been flaking out and being weird for two days. Gonna have to order another one.
