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"

Friday Gratefuls Posted by Delta on 1/16/2026, 6:45 pm, in reply to "Friday gratefuls?" We are home and did nothing today. We both slept better last night because we didn't have a lot of work waiting when we woke up, as we have had for the past 10 days or more. Having internet again and being able to be in touch with you, lovely people. Cindy, for reaching out when I couldn't get online, I just can't get on with my phone most of the time and don't have the patience it takes to try to post with it because I lose it twice of more times usually. We had great movers. Not a thing chipped, scratched, broken, or lost, and they were so nice to us. When we told them what rooms corresponded with the rooms they took things out of (and they labeled the furniture and boxes as to rooms, they went about putting things where they went without constantly bothering us, except on rare occasions to clarify things. Everything was within arm's reach of where I needed to unpack it in boxes, too. They were just great. Our kids both came for the weekend and had the house cleaned and sterilized when we got there, then helped us unpack and put things away when the movers unloaded them without being asked. It sure was a great help for us!

Delta Posted by Beverly on 1/16/2026, 9:39 pm, in reply to "Friday Gratefuls" Wonderful that the kids were SO helpful. So happy you are moved in. YAY Put your feet up and and relax for while. No wonder you slept so well. Sending good health, contentment and lots of fun in this home!🩷

Mine Posted by Cindyh on 1/16/2026, 6:02 pm, in reply to "Friday gratefuls?" A down day. Just hanging around the house. Flu is so bad here almost afraid to go anywhere I called my surgeon and they don’t use any steroids during surgery so I WAS able to get an SI injection scheduled next Thursday. So grateful they did this for me before my surgery I can’t wait for more episodes of the PITT to build up. I love it and I don’t think I could watch it week to week. It’s so intense. All of you.

Cindyh Posted by Beverly on 1/16/2026, 9:46 pm, in reply to "Mine" It's a good idea to stay inside. So much flu!! Wonderful you could get your injection... Amen!

I hope that the Posted by Delta on 1/16/2026, 6:12 pm, in reply to "Mine" steroid injection helps you. I want to watch the PITT. A pediatric emergency doctor I know says it is the most real show she has ever seen. I am kinda scared to start it while it is still showing because I will stream all that is already out, and they have to wait.

Mine Posted by Paula on 1/16/2026, 11:11 am, in reply to "Friday gratefuls?" Appointments out of the way. Cardiologist ordered a medication stress test which I'll have in 2 weeks. EKG looked pretty unconcerning and he was ok with my lab work (need to lower triglycerides a little). I told him I get short of breath sometimes with little exertion and reminded him that my mom and MGM both died from strokes. I'm glad he ordered it. NO AS IN ZERO notes to do this weekend!If I am a good little therapist, I will work on treatment plans! Handyman coming today! You know that the guy who gave me an estimate sometime in November texted me last night asking if he could get started on the work next week. Disappears and shows up 2 months later thinking I would hire him? Crazy!!! Bill and I had a huge fight last night. It always comes down to how he talks to me. Whenever I call his name to ask a question, he snarls "WHAT??" as if I'm just a PIA. I've talked to him about this FOREVER and he still does it. Then, he makes excuses for it. I went off!! My chest tightens just thinking about it. Grat? This place to vent. Trip is coming.

Paula Posted by Beverly on 1/16/2026, 9:59 pm, in reply to "Mine " Having your notes doneis like a little vacation, in a way. Vent all you want! Yes. Your. Eyes on the prize!!🙂😊😀

I am glad that your Posted by Delta on 1/16/2026, 6:23 pm, in reply to "Mine " cardiologist is taking care of you even though it can be a PIA sometimes to do all these tests. I hope that the new handyman works out well. Pickings are getting slim around here these days. Most are like the one who gave you the estimate in November. We got an estimate to paint the inside of a three-bedroom house. One guy admitted he was pretty new at it, but gave an estimate of $23,000. Yep, that was not a typo. My husband flat-out told him that he was way too high. That was a month ago. This week, he called back and asked when he could start because he needed money. My husband explained that he had already told him that he was way out of line on price and would have to come down a lot to work for us. He said he has to charge so much because he is so good. My husband told him he is probably too good to make a living at painting. He didn't understand. I totally get the Bill thing. My husband has a habit of doing that for several years now. We have had the talks, and nothing works. Happens almost every time. I have finally realized that it is more about who he is than about what he thinks about me, and I try to let it roll off, but like you, sometimes it infuriates me so much that it leads to a fight. Try to relax. The remote simply does not work on assholes. I've tried.
