PHYSICAL CHALLENGES ~ October's Thread
WELCOME EVERYONE ~ this thread is for anyone with any kind of physical obstacle and/or challenge like SB, CP, MS, MD, PK, Lupus, Osteo, Arthritis, Rheumatism, or any other condition (s), whether genetic or acquired (like injuries), that causes physical limitations and/or difficulties.
Please join us in this special thread ~ to give support and encouragement; and share ideas, or just chat with one another ... :D HAPPY OCTOBER EVERYONE :D |
:wave: HI LADIES ~ we were so busy and elated about finding a place to live last night that I completely forgot to start the new October thread. Ignore that number thing that came up when I click on the title box. I know that you like the monthly thread so you don't have to go back through too many posts if you get behind.
THANKS MEOWEE ~ for the reminder that it is the first day of October today. We have had so much on our minds lately with having to move and health issues and company; my mind is in too many places at once ... lol! HEY PURPLE ~ glad you were able to come in to post after your trip to London. Sorry that you had a bad fall; I sure hope that your shoulder and hip are feeling better soon. Will be sending up some prayers for that, for sure! Thanks for your encouragement about a home; we sure had slim pickins' here right now. I think the stress was that so many places fell through and then some didn't bother to call us back: it was a bit frustrating for us. :( ANYWAYS, we are grateful that we have found a cute, little place before the snow flies. ;) We are taking the smaller house; it has only one bedroom and a very small utility/pantry closet off the kitchen, but it does have a basement and a small shed for DH to use; and to store all the stuff we can't fit in the house ~ LOL! Speaking of birthdays, I am turning the big "50" this month; almost can't believe that I'm leaving the forties now. Oprah once said that her fifties were her favorite years so far. I sure hope it's the same for me; but so far, so good ... with us getting a new place to live. HIYA VAL ~ hope you are having a great week! HI CAFFEINE IV ~ haven't seen you for awhile; hope you are feeling well this week. Hope you all have a great evening, your friend :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
Hi MEOWEE ~ just a reminder that we would appreciate it if you could put this new thread up as a red sticky for us. Thanks, we appreciate your help a lot ...
:hug:Rosebud:hug: |
Hi ladies
It seems a much nicer day out side today with sun :sunny: though you do need to wrap up warm. I had just popped outside and though I will be OK but I sure felt it and was glad to get back indoors. ROSEBUD :~ Yes much to think about when moving home and if you are like me there is inevitably something you forget to do. Though I am fairly well organised and so things went pretty smoothly. Great that you have a new home and if it is not to both of your liking you can always now look round at a more leisurely pace as you have a roof over your head. Shame all your belonging will not fit in to your new place but thankfully you now have a place to call home. When I moved from the 3 bedroomed Victorian house I had to downsize to go in this bungalow. This has 2 bedrooms and 1 less reception room downstairs oh and yes no cellar (basement) . It was hard at first knowing what to keep and what to say goodbye to but we eventually did it. The only thing I really miss is a formal dinning room we only have a lounge and a kitchen. Neither of which are big enough to put a dinning table up not even a small one. Though overall I was so pleased to be on one floor and no more stairs to fall down. I felt independent for the first time in months, instead of relying on DH to help me down the stairs or to take the washing down the stairs or back up for that matter. Now I can do all of that on a good day. All those little things to me meant the world as I have always been fiercely independent. My DH sister has just had her 50th birthday this weekend and she went away to the caravan she has with friends. We are suppose to be having a family meal but trying to get us all in one place at one time is proving difficult. Time to go and brush my hair ready to go out. Only been out so far in the back garden. So till next time bye bye :wave: purpleorc :hug: |
:wave:
Still overcast and cool around here . . . but it could be worse. Off to do the weekly mall-crawl this afternoon since we missed last week because of my silly cold. I've been doing a little bunch of cross-stitch fridge magnets this past week and just realized that I'd better get back to working on those aprons. Told you I'd somehow manage to put it off -- but Christmas is getting closer. See you all later . . . :grouphug: |
Hi chickadee :wave:
It appears another lovely day outside but I know there is a definate good nip in the air so will have to wrap up warm. Last night went to play cards the first time this week as due to delivery we have not managed to go. Did no good at the cards but did win a raffle a bottle of washing up liquid. (no so many households here have dishwashers though more are now) good for us as we do not have a dishwasher and will not have room in our small kitchen oh well cest la vie :p . MEOWEE You seem very gifted with your ability to do handicrafts. Some people just have the touch and get enjoyment from doing it as well. I can embroider, crochet and do simple knitting patterns. Though me and sewing machines do not mix it is a recipe for disaster :D The grocery shops are inevitable it is the dint they make in our pockets that is the trouble. Everything just keeps going up not much ever goes down! Sorry but this has had to be a flying visit as I am very shortly going to my parents and I am not ready. Says she still sat in her night clothes and dressing gown. So got to get my skates on and get myself in gear. Will have a walk this afternoon into town to go and get some cheap flaxseed at my parents healthfood shop. Then do a bit of window shopping it is nice there as they do not have a shopping centre as such so lots of smaller shops not all the big brand high street names. Bye and see you soon :wave: purpleorc :hug: |
:wave:
Great shopping trip yesterday . . . great lunch too, but have to own up to the carrot cake and too many garlic breadsticks. :o Today will definitely be better -- it may include more shopping but it will NOT include any carrot cake or breadsticks. :lol: Actually things are going well since I've already had my good OP lunch and the sun is actually shining out there too. But, just like PurpleOrc mentioned, there is a definite nip in the air. :yes: |
Hi Ladies
Suppose to rain :rain: today and so by the looks of the clouds the forecasters seem to have got it right. I think I will have a little dog here will will need more than a gentle persuasion when it comes to going for a walk in a bit :D He has anything associated with water and that includes rain ;) Went to play cards last night DH won 1st but had to share it. This drive was money so the first and second prize money was shared between them. I won a raffle of $4 ( i think that is roughly the amount in dollars.) So we did well over all. We are having chicken casserole today for lunch with lots of vegetables, I have the casserole on at the minute and boy does it smell lovely. It is a big casserole so there will be enough for the next day as well. Chicken was on offer so we have got a cheap meal all in all. I feel a bit snuffly (if that is an English word :D ) hope I am not having a cold. My face has been hurting not sure if that is a sign of a cold or the real change in temperature which has triggered that. I hope it is the latter as it as been so long since I had a cold. Not that I am complaining about that ;) MEOWEE Like you I go off the rails once in a while we are not angels :angel: I had a chocolate bar last week and I did not have no excuse like TOM to hide behind :o Though I kind of figure one going of the rail can be righted with a few days of being on plan and being very good in the food department. I went shopping yesterday and I was a lucky bunny :bunny: as DH bought me a necklace lovely round disc with pink and purple stone in it on a silver chain. Managed to pick up some flaxseed and goji berry mix to put on my cereal in the morning. Then some dried apricots which I like as a snack but do have to ration myself otherwise I can go overboard . Mum bought a lovely navy cardigan with gold buttons down it looks rather smart. We then stopped for a coffee at the shop for me to get my second wind and take some painkillers. Right time for me to do some work in the kitchen, like make some flaxseed cakes and put vegetables on for lunch. So it needs to be action stations in there. Before I go hello to VAL, ROSEBUD and CAFFIENEIV :wave: So till next time take care everyone purpleorc |
Good Morning . . . :grouphug:
And it is another gloriously sunny one around here . . . :yay: . . . must get out and play -- it probably won't be long before you have to listen to me complaining about the snow, so I'd best enjoy this while I can. Happy to say I ate clean yesterday and have my :crossed: that I'll make it two in a row today. Hope everybody has a good Saturday -- rain or shine -- keep things moving and shaking, gang . . . :carrot: |
Hello fellow chicks
It has been raining :rain: since yesterday around tea time and I don't think it has stopped yet. Oh well looks like we will have a walk in the rain today if it does not clear up anytime soon. I have some baking to do in a little while and I need to go and shower. At the moment I have some oil in my hair which I put in as it was feeling dry at the ends. Just now mustering up the energy to go and get things started. Know it will be fine once I get cracking it is the get cracking that I have trouble with. Morning particularly are slow for me and I have very little get up and go. Showers make me feel worse as it brings on symptoms from my MS like pins and needles and fatigue. MEOWEE Glad your having a little bit of nice whether. The thought of snow makes me shiver I am so lucky that we do not get snow. When I say we don't get snow it is very light dusting if we do unless if you live in parts of the highlands of Scotland and on some of the remote parts of Northern England. Even then their snow fall is nothing like the snow you have. Good for you eating on plan I am sure that will make up for your faux pas on the garlic sticks and carrot cake. Yesterday we went to the farmers market and we had an ostrich burger which is low in fat but I find them filling now so my eyes were bigger than my belly ;) We go there once a month as that is when they come and get our burgers and ones to bake at home. There are so many nice things at the farmers market I do not know what to buy as we all have a budget. So I have to be ruthless with myself otherwise I would over spend dramatically Time to do the baking etc so bye for now. |
:wave:
I so :love: having you round this thread PURPLEORC. This is pretty much the only regular thread I post in where I'm not always the first one to sign in everyday. :lol: It's sunny and coolish again today but I hve no great plans for my day so far. Just have to see what develops. |
Hi fellow chickadees.
Just returned from Huddersfield which is a city in Yorkshire not a super long trip only about 68miles one way. Went to pick up a piece of machinery which had been repaired for BIL. Great journey so no complaints on that front apart from the getting up early when I say early that is 7,30am :lol: I am not an early bird so was a big struggle. I have to be up the same time tomorrow to go for my treatment at the MS centre so I will be more like a snail :snail: tomorrow till I get kick started :yes: MEOWEE Thanks for your lovely post but I have at least a 5 hours head start on yourself :rofl: with living in the UK so 9 times out of 10 I am able to come on here before yourself. The time difference maybe even more if you have changed your clocks for daylight saving ( I think that is what you know it by) here it is called "end of British summer time". If the clocks are put forward then it is known as " beginning of British summer time) Our clocks are put back 1 hour on 26th October this year and forward one hour for summer time. :wave: hello to ROSEBUD, VALDINE & CAFFIENEIV. I know that you are all busy at the minute or away on holiday but I thought I would say a quick hello and hope that you are all well. Must go and answer my mail, put the kettle on but not in that order I hasten to add :D a girls got to get her priorities right :lol: I a have a fair amount of mail to answer as I have not done it for a few days so it has built up. I have been good this weekend and managed all my chores with my DH help so up to date on that front :yes: Bye for now and take care :hug: purpleorc :hug: |
Hi everybody . . . :grouphug:
Oh wow -- don't get me started on Daylight Savings Time -- I hate time changes because it seems to take me at least a week to get used to them. We call the non-DST period "Standard Time" for some totally stupid reason. Stupid because DST is at least two months longer and, to me, it should be considered the standard. :dizzy: Speaking of time, though -- :lol: -- this just seems to be one of those days when it moves at about twice the normal speed no matter what you call it. It's 2 pm already and I have no idea what I've got to show for the day so far. Other than that -- nothing exciting -- and it is another beautiful sunny day. |
HI LADIES ~ I'm FINALLY BACK!!! I wish I was on holidays, but I wasn't; and I didn't realize that I hadn't even come in here all week. I didn't even get in here to read anything, so it will take me a few days to catch up.
No, we had some unexpected stuff that we had to do that has had me busy from morning til night; and last night, I was up to 2 am determined to get it finished. I had mentioned it in passing but didn't go into too much detail. Too complicated, paper stuff, and a favor for a family member; involving a lot of research, typing, and editing. I finally finished it all today, and boy, what a relief it is. DH says that now maybe we can get some sleep again. And on top of that, things fell apart for that house we had found. We had some more questions that needed to be answered; so I called for more details and we didn't get the responses we had hoped for. By Friday, I decided to go searching and find out what we would be in for and we finally realized that the place would just be too expensive thanks to some people who knew someone who lived there before. So it's a NO-GO; and I'm glad, becuz I don't want to have to move out again and be financially strapped or should I say, trapped ~ LOL! THANKS PURPLE ~ for keeping up this thread for us; I knew that you would realize that something had happened or we were away. In this case, we were indisposed on two fronts. We have been out searching for places to live, so our week has been very busy. Once again, we've had trouble reaching people for some reason. This weekend, we are supposed to go see another house; but after that last experience, I'm not going to get my hopes up too high. THANKS TO YOU TOO, MEOWEE ~ for putting this thread up as a red sticky for us; and for keeping it going along with our PURPLE. DH made us a nice bonfire tonight to burn some old wood; and I just love that on a cool, bugless, October night. I'm sure that VALDINE is very busy with her new job; I bet she is hopping and skipping on her toes, while she trying to learn her new position. We truly wish you well, VAL! HI CAFFEINE ~ hope you are doing well and that your seizures and headaches aren't too bad for you lately. Well, it's late and tomorrow, I will have more time to come in and read more. Take care, your friend :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
Hi Ladies
This is going have to be a quick post today as it is my day for my treatment and I am coming to post just before I go there. So excuse any mistakes but I don't function none to well at 7.30am :snail: MEOWEE I know what you mean that some days just fly by and some how you have nothing to show for the day:shrug: I have a habit of starting one job then thinking about another so starting that one but not finishing the first. Before I know where I am I have 4 or 5 jobs on the go which is too much for me to do. I have done this more times than I care to remember and I sometimes end up in tears just through sheer frustration at myself :cry: I must admit I like the winter months but that is for selfish reasons as I feel much better in the winter as the days are cooler. Though i know for many others that is just not the case and summer is much better for them as they are in less pain. ROSEBUD So sorry that the house has fallen through and you are back to searching again. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise if was going to leave you financially trapped for money. I hope and pray that you find somewhere soon. Gosh you have been a busy :bunny: bunny staying up till the wee hours of the morning doing a favour for a family member. I have done that before now for my niece before she has access to a PC and did all the research on William Shakespeare then printed it off and odd bits I typed and made a synopsis of it. So I know how much work it can be, it did not seem to be too bad at first and it just snowballs and gets bigger. I knew that she would have to go into some depth as she is at a very academic school which you much pass an exam for when you are 11. It isn't a private school but government run one but it takes the cream of children who are educationally bright. My mum went to that school but needless to say I didn't :D I am absolutely useless at mathematics and really struggle and it baffles me :shrug: I know that peoples lives are sometimes busy and of course things take precedence to this as they should. You all did the same for me when Dad was in hospital so think nothing of it. Time for me to stop rattling on and go and get ready otherwise I will be going in my nightie :D Take care till next time :hug: purpleorc :wave: |
Hi gang . . . :grouphug:
Oh ROSEBUD . . . so sorry to hear about the house . . . there's bound to be a better one just around the next corner, Chickie. Speaking of Winter . . . :mad: . . . our gorgeous streak of weather is having a bit of a holiday today -- it's raining and the high is not going to get above 5 or 6 (that's the low 40's for those of you who don't 'speak' metric'). :brr: I'm definitely not ready for this yet. Slept in again this morning and think it's got a lot to do with the fact that it stays so dark so much longer right now. Guess I'd better set my alarm for a few mornings to get my internal clock rewound. I have to take little Sandy to the Vet's by 8 am on Thursday morning and at this rate I'll never get there on time. :lol: Have a great day . . . see you later . . . :carrot: |
:wave:
Rosebud is right. I'm on my toes! Been working several 13 hour days. So when I get an evening off I am full on unwind mode. Lots of walking and pilates. If I'm going to work this hard I need to be especially dilligent about exercise if I want to keep my stress levels in check. I got a blackberry for work so I'm able to check my work email 24/7. And I tried to use this phone as an excuse to quit my casual job at Reitmans. Alas the manager there wouldnt let me give my notice.. and now I can carry the phone on the sales floor. I love my job so far. I'm responsible for all internal and external communication at city hall. I'm far from perfect and there arent enough hours in the day to get everything done that I should. But it's a great change. I'm road tripping to southern manitoba for thanksgiving with my brother - we will spend the weekend with our parents. Valdine Rosebud - it sounds like your housing situation is up in the air? So you checked up on the house but do you have somewhere else to go now? Im sure it will work out no matter. Good for you for doing due dilligence on that place before you took it.\ Purple I saw your progress pictures! WAY TO GO!!!! :high: You are such an inspiration! HI to Meowee and Caffeineiv :wave: I dont know when I'll be back next. But you all are in my thoughts! |
Good morning :wave:
Nice sunny :sunny: day here at the minute but it is deceiving after opening the back door it is really cold out there so I need to wrap up warm. Going to do my weekly shopping today and just prepared the list to do it. DH on Friday is helping his nephew move home apparently it is not very far away. His other Uncle is helping as well so more hands make light work of the job. The nephew has been good to us over the years as he is a pc wizard so has helped us learn when we were complete green horns and we just about knew how to switch a PC on :lol: We were due to go and play cards last night in a village about 28 miles away. We left at the normal time and very shortly after leaving home the traffic seemed heavy and eventually it was virtually at a standstill. We put the radio on to listen :listen: to the traffic report and it said that there had been an accident involving a lorry and 2 cars. The motorway (freeway) was closed in both directions for 2 junctions (junctions here are slip roads that leave the freeway and they have numbers to them my home town is served by 3 junctions depending on whether you live North, South or Central part of the city) going Southbound and Northbound. The motorway is called the M1 and it was the first to be built here in the late 1950's or early 1960. The Southbound goes to London and the Northbound goes up to Newcastle. So it runs a fair stretch of the country. I would imagine with the road being closed that their must have been a fatality. I really I that there was not a fatality and I can only pray that was not the case. Unfortunately you do see idiotic driving behaviour on the road and the motorway brings the worst out in people. Mainly as it is straight road so people speed at foolish speeds. The maximum speed for this road is 70mph. Police do put speed traps up but they can not catch all speedier. If you are caught speeding it is 3 points on your driving licence and a fixed penalty of $80. You are only allowed 12 points on your licence and then you are banned for driving. MEOWEE I kind of though :yikes: that is cold 4 or 6 but then just found out that we were not much better than you at only 2 degrees higher today. So my grass is not much greener over here so they say. Though we are suppose to go to 14 later in the day gosh that will seem like a heat wave :lol: I hope nothing to seriously wrong with Sandy and that it is routine vaccinations. VALDINE Good to hear from you and how you are going at work. Gosh you are busy at the minute but you are doing the right things to protect your health as much as anyone can. Ooh nice a blackberry I hear they are nice but never seen one in action. I have only seen them on sale in the mobile (cell phone) shop. I know my DH will be envious of you :s: I know he would love :love: a blackberry phone. Thanks for the nice comments regarding my progress pictures. I eventually plucked up the courage and though that this site has given me so much and especially the success stories which are good to read or see the photographs which keep you motivate. So I decided to post my before and now pictures. Not that I am at my goal weight which I do not know if I will achieve I am now struggling to lose the weight, It is so true about what they say the last 10 to 20lbs is the hardest to shift. I noticed under your avatar you have something about the swank diet for MSers. I wonder if you were eating this diet. I would love to be able to eat it but I do not think I am so disciplined to do the restrictive diet. I think if I was I would end up many times cooking 2 meals one for me and one for DH. I hear that people who are on it lose weight as it is so "clean and healthy" plus a reduction in meat and fats. Right time for me to wash up and get going so bye bye and take care :hug: purpleorc :wave: |
Good Morning . . . wow, it really is morning, too. :lol: Yes, I did set the alarm last night and then got up half an hour before it went off. :shrug:
Looks like (now that it is actually daylight) we will be getting a better day today -- it is not raining and the forecast is calling for mostly sunny and a high of 12/13 (mid-50s). We'll see -- it is definitely cold right now. Anyway, got to run -- must scoop the kitty litter and then get the garbage out to the road for our once every two weeks pick-up -- even with just myself and the cats, it does seem to mount up. See you later . . . :wave: |
HI LADIES ~ Went into town shopping today, was running out of essentials, esp things like fruit and DH's bread (he was down to one slice). WE had a good trip but it started to rain on us and we went out for a light lunch and rested our feet, as we did a bit of walking today, but I love to get the exercise even if I pay later with aching feet.
HI VALDINE ~ glad your job is going well for you; and keeping busy isn't necessarily a bad thing. That can keep you from getting bored, as long as you know how to pace yourself and don't wear yourself out. Hope you have a lovely holiday weekend with your family. MEOWEE ~ would you believe that we have had snow at least two times in the last week??? YES, SNOW!!! We had two days of sun this week, and rain today. We went down to -5C the other night; we couldn't believe it, as it's still early October. Two cold falls in a row, so much for EL NINIO (sp) or whatever they call it ~ LOL! HEY PURPLE ~ you are an inspiration; actually, you all are. You guys keep me going even though right now I'm not losing anything. I am still trying to eat healthy and living with a lot of stress right now with no place to live and some other issues, which hopefully will be on the back burner for awhile. Our THANKSGIVING is coming up on the 13th and we are looking forward to turkey and yams; maybe I'll even make DH a pumpkin pie and me just a pumpkin custard for fun. You guys cheer me up; with your great attitudes! I have heard that others have had the same problem as me and they just try to maintain for a while, then go on a bit stricter plan for 3-4 months and then maintain again; and so on. It seems to work for them, so maybe I'll try something like that. As soon as we find out where we'll be living, maybe things will be better for me too. RE: HOUSE ISSUE ~ what happened was that we went to see this cute little house and asked lots of questions and heard lots of promises by the landlord. Although I did express concern whether our furniture could fit, we thought we could be flexible. I told him we would take it if the $$$ details worked out; which I would call him about. So I made up a list of questions as I was doing the figuring, and called them back, but I couldn't get satisfactory answers and some even surprised me a bit. So I decided that I'd better do some more investigation before taking it. The landlord was pressing us to take it in two weeks, but I said no, let's wait a bit. Anyways, I knew someone who new the previous tenants and went to see them. I was shocked to find out that the costs for the place were more than DOUBLE than we were told! :yikes: So we didn't take it after all; and a lesson was learned here. We now know what questions to ask. We haven't looked for a place in over 16 years; and so we had forgotten what it was like: a nightmare really. We have looked at a lot of places and many times we call, and they are already taken. It can be a bit frustrating when you only have 8 weeks to look and now we only have 3 left; with little success. I'm surprised just how many people are looking for places right now, just before winter. The sad thing is, that there are places sitting here empty, but the prices are way out of our league: you'd think this was Toronto, by what they are asking. My sister says that they are asking as much as a major city from the south. So we just have to keep going and trust that one will show up eventually; we put our name in a for a small apartment again today, and we are going to look at a small house this weekend. ANYWAYS, have a great evening and take good care of yourselves :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
Hi Ladies
Well I am here sitting with a towel on my head smelling like a herbal store :rofl: I thought I would do a wee experiment after doing a bit of reading about natural dying. I have been toying for a while about dying my hair but do not want to go down the route of using chemicals dyes on my head for fear they will damage my hair which is as you know is long. I have kept my hair in good condition as I do not use harsh chemicals on my hair, I do not perm it (oh but I have been down this route in the past :yes: ) I do not blow dry it only air dry it and when I wash my hair I use the condition, wash and then condition method ( time consuming but worth it for soft silky hair) Well I am not brave enough to dye it at present so I though maybe a less permanent solution of a rinse maybe the way forward. So seeing as I have natural red highlights to my hair I have had a go at enhancing them. I cooked up this concoction to put on my hair last night and then steeped it over night. Strained it this morning and just pour over the strained brew. So that is the point I am at now sitting for about 30 minutes to take effect. You bet after all this trouble I won't see a blind bit of difference :lol: but a girl can dream of having lovely auburn locks ;) I have everything prepared for lunch today we are having turkey thigh joint I know it is not a lean as breast joint but it is cheaper in this time when we are all having to tighten our belts due to the price rises. I felt this was a comprimise but not straying to far from our meal plan. Serving it with vegetables which are already done( just need steaming) and sitting in fridge. I did all the preparation last night as I knew mornings are not my great time. My goodness where does time go :dunno: , one minute I was typing this and next I have now finished lunch, cooked some muffins and showered not necessarily in that order :D. Now I am munching on a yoghurt :eating2: and just about to relax with coffee :coffee: It is one of those morning well afternoons now that I hop from job to job not really finishing any of them but being shattered at the end of the day as I have taken on board too much. MEOWEE I know you have your hand full this morning catching elusive Sandy who has vanished as he has seen the cat box coming out and no way is he going in there to see the vet. So with my past experience you end up with a few scratching for your troubles as the cat turns into this evil monster when trying to get them into the cat box. Don't have that trouble now as we have a dog as you know but he has his own unique :yes: way at the vets which makes you want to crawl into the nearest hole and deny all knowledge that he's our dog. He howls at the top of his voice and is like this demented demon :devil:. He is not nasty or anything just plain over the top excited due to all the smells of the different animals. Plus he wants to meet and greet everything and everyone in site. So that my little darling pooch when he goes to the vet :lol3:. On a more serious not I hope that Sandy is OK and that is nothing too serious. ROSEBUD I have been very lax on the exercise front as I have been busy lately but also my back has been very painful. Not that I have done anything to aggrevate it or injury it. I think it is the chicken :chicken: or the egg :egg: quandry is it wear and tear from my nursing days or is it my MS. With stress :stress: that you are going through at the minute the best to hope for is that you eat as well as you can and deal with what you need to at present. Never thought of doing the method of healthy eating then maintaining for a few month before embarking on a stricter eating regime. It just might work and give you time to adjust and it will ease finacial situation as when you lose weight in the time scale that I have I am not in clothes very long so I only bought a few at that size very loathed to spend anymore than I needed too. Also like yourself we are on a limited budget so it makes things a wee bit harder. It will give you time during the maintaining period to save a few dollars ready for your new collection of clothes. I also found that I have bought a few execellent buys from charity shops. Not sure if you have them but they are shops who sell second hand goods mainly clothes and the profit goes to the organisation like help the aged, OXFAM to name a few. Admittedly the smaller I have got the more choice I have had and bargains I have found. Plus I feel I am helping a charity in return. Wow thanks giving is creeping up us again ::thanks2: when I say us I mean for the people of Canada and the States. We do not have such a celebration in the UK. I have never had pumkin pie or pumkin custard. We can not buy it tinned as you are able to only fresh. I have used pumpkin but as a vegetable by roasting it and treating it more like a marrow (squash). I will not buy pumpkin until after Halloween :haphal: as they are very expensive as people here tend to use them only for making lanterns out of . :yikes: what a waste I love the vegetable but do not get to eat much as it is only sold for limited time. I like to make a soup out of it as well and that is very tasty for the winter months. Well enough of my gossiping :blah: and also I am getting tired :tired: bye and see you later :wave: purpleorc :grouphug: |
:wave: HI EVERYONE ~ well we had sun and rain, on and off all day. I spent the day doing laundry and cleaning house like a madcap ~ LOL! I can't believe I did so much, but my arms, legs, shoulders, and feet are very glad to remind me. So I am taking a break now to rest them up; only my fingies are doing the walking for now; lol!
DH took another load to the dump today: insulation from his shed which he tore down; he's almost done now. He's doing great, esp since all the help I tried to hire never showed up. I thought people wanted money today; oh, they want it, but they just don't wanna work for it ... I guess! :?: Tomorrow, we look at more places; hope we find something soon; I hate leaving things to the last minute. I was always the one who arrived early becuz I hate being late for anything; always Miss Punctual ~ lol! So all this waiting is very hard for me. I hoped for at least one week to move, at a reasonable pace, and one to tidy and clean up behind us. Our neigbours have been moving for more than three weeks now; apparently, they knew something before we did, but no-one cared to share that with us.:( HEY PURPLE ~ I think you are very brave to try and dye your hair with a homemade potion; I know that you used to be able to buy a natural "HENNA" rinse for your hair. It does work, if you get the right one; but you have to be careful not to put on too much or you'll end up with 'fire engine' red hair ~ lol! I didn't realize that you don't have Thanksgiving in the UK. Maybe you could start your own new tradition; you can make pumpkin custard from a real pumpkin; I do that all the time. You can bake it too, but just sprinkle it with a bit of brown sugar and cinnamon; and you will get the taste of what pumpkin pie is. I just know that you would love it; it is my DH's favorite pie, so here's a recipe for it ... PUMPKIN PIE ~ is a custard baked in a flakey crust: made with 2 cups of mashed, cooked pumpkin with 2-3 eggs, 1 cup canned evaporated milk, 3/4 cup brown sugar, and spices like 1 tsp EACH cinnamon & nutmeg; 1/2 tsp mace or vanilla, and a pinch of cloves. I like to put a tablespoon of molasses in as well, to give it a richer flavor and color. Here's a tip: 1 cup of something is about the same amount as an average coffee mug (not the huge ones; just a regular one). Bake at 350 F for 50 minutes (or in a medium-hot oven until the custard is set to the touch). HI VAL ~ TGIF ... hope you have a great weekend! HI TO MEOWEE ~ hope the trip to the Vet turned out alright; and that your weather is warming up for you. We actually had in the 50's today; yeah!!! WE saw a big, beautiful rainbow today; I always love to see them, as they lift my spirits to no end (they represent GOD keeping His promises to us; maybe this was a sign of hope for us). Hope you all have a lovely evening, your friend :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
:wave: hello ladies
Well my experience yesterday to do a colour rinse on my hair was unsuccessful :lol: So I spent all that time for nothing smelling like a herbal shop and not to say all the effort. I have heard of henna but like you I am wary to use it as I know I will get some awful colour rather than some beautiful colour which I want. Mixing the henna leaves and the rest of the concoction together takes some time as well. Maybe the health store does a temporary colour of a henna rinse rather than actual dye. DH is helping nephew move house today so I thought I would take the time to do some window shopping. Though I will have to rake out my walking stick as I need it when DH is not around to prop me up :D I do not particularly like having my walking stick but needs must as they say. I think I feel self conscious of it more than anything. I am sure no one is looking at me but I just feel that they are. ROSEBUD Weird how the hired help never turned up to help DH as you say in this day and age you would think people would be grateful for the money. I could not do that to someone either not just turn up I would feel so bad that my conscious would never let me do it. Though other people do not have any qualms about letting folk down. It really baffles me that one :?: The pumpkin pie sounds delicious and I am sure I would like it. There is not much I do not like when it is sweet :D I think DH would love it too as he has a sweeter tooth than myself. I love the theory about rainbows that it represents God keeping his promises. I have never heard that one before but I like that thought. No we have the more traditional ones that there is a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow but I like Gods promises being kept much nicer. Right I have to go as I am going into town and I haven't don't my hair as yet it is still sitting in the plait that I have for bedtime so it does not tangle up. :wave: purpleorc :grouphug: |
Oh wowee . . . yesterday was not a good day . . . except in the eating department, strangly enough.
Hopefully today will be better all around -- without screwing up on the eating side. :lol: Have a good Friday . . . see you later . . . :grouphug: |
:wave: HI LADIES ~ we had a beautiful, sunny day today (all day); then tonight we decided to have a bonfire by the stars and 3/4 moon. It was lovely sitting on the deck watching it light up the yard; one of my most favorite pastimes ...
WE spent almost the entire day looking a places. Two were not suitable for us; BUT one of them has great potential, only we still have to do some more investigation on it. We are waiting for a callback on it; which we should get pretty soon. HI PURPLE ~ hope your next venture of hair tinting works out better for you. Yah, we had tried to hire two different young fellows, but I guess they were too busy. If we get really ... desperate, we'll contact our local employment office for a couple of strong, young men. HI MEOWEE ~ hope you have a better day tomorrow and a nice Thanksgiving weekend too. We will be having a turkey with yams, and white turnips from our garden; and pumpkin pie and custard for dessert. I wanted to mention that for the custard, I just sprinkle a lightly greased glass dish with wheat germ or whole wheat flour very lightly, and pour the custard mixture into the dish and bake the same as for DH's Pumpkin Pie. I make enuff pumpkin custard filling for one large pie for him and a custard for me. :wave: HIYA VAL ! I'm off to bed now, so take good care, your friend :hug:ROSEBUD :hug: |
Hi ladies
Firstly to all Canadian :happ3: for this weekend hope you have a lovely time. It sure does come round quickly it does not seem a year since the last Thanksgiving. Today we are going to friends for a meal and then on to play cards with them so looking forward to that. Though my tummy is slightly on the sore side after having a bout earlier in the week with my tummy ulcer. It was my fault I ate something way too fatty I should know better on the healthy eating front and the ulcer one. So I paid for my negligence big time only blessing is now that the severe pain only lasted 12 hours which before my treatment commenced it was 72. The only trouble is after that my tummy is tender after that and becomes swollen. I could not believe it that I put 3" on around my waist from the swelling but it is slowly going down. So I am going to be careful how much I eat tonight and then I should be OK. I know her food is healthy as they are eating healthy. The trouble with them they eat healthy all week only to go away with a motorhome at the weekend where they drink a fair amount of alcohol and all the wrong foods. So they are in a revolving door syndrome as I call it they never get anywhere as they undo all their excellent work during the weekend. She asks me how have I done my weight loss and I explain but then does not follow it but blames it on medication. I know it is nice to have treats I am first in line for those :D but they can not be so frequent otherwise you are not going to get anywhere. Until the penny drops where they are going wrong then they will never get anywhere. It is a shame as they are a nice couple whom I love dearly but as you say you can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink it. MEOWEE I hope you have a better day today after the bad one yesterday. At least it is Thanksgiving this weekend so a nice celebration for you and your family. ROSEBUD Shame about the hired hands not turning up it is all you need when you are in the process of moving. You are making my mouth water with the fayre you are having for Thanksgiving it sounds so nice and even a couple of vegetables which are home grown so even better. They always taste so much better than the shop bought ones as I remember from my Dad's garden when he gave us vegetables. He had to give the garden up due to his failing health the last couple years or so. I know he misses it as he has always had a garden from growing up to getting married. Lets hope the house that you have looked at it the right one and the rainbow that you saw was the sign that God had kept his promises. HELLO to :wave: VAL and CAFFIENEIV hope you are both well. :thanks: Val for the lovely comments you wrote in the success thread boards that was very much appreciated and made me blush :o. Caffieneiv I hope your holiday here in the UK hav been enjoyable we have had a few nice days with weather here but a lot of overcast days. Not sure how much time you have left of your holiday as I can not remember how long you said you where going for as I have a brain like a sieve at times :?: bye ladies must go and see to my mail which I have seemed to avoided like the plague ;) so take care and look after yourself :wave: :hug: purpleorc :hug: |
Good Morning . . . :grouphug:
Weather for our long weekend is shaping up nicely . . . lot's of sunshine and temperatures about 18C (low to mid 60s F). Only beat the alarm by a couple of minutes this morning so I hope that means my internal clock is just about set to where I want it again, although think I'll keep setting the alarm for a few more days before trying to 'wing it'. :lol: Nothing too big on the agenda for me today -- have to pick up some last minute ingredients for the pumpkin cheesecake I've promised to make for dessert for tomorrow. It will be made with lighter ingredients wherever possible but still not exactly a health-food. Much as I try to resist, I imagine I will overeat tomorrow -- I'm not a big turkey fan but I definitely :love: the stuffing and the gravy. Stuffing is my downfall. :drool: Anyway . . . better get myself moving and shaking . . . have a great Saturday and I'll see you all later . . . :wave: |
:wave: HI LADIES ~ we just stayed home today and I did laundry and stuff around the house while DH loaded some wood for storage. Not much else to report really; tonight, we had another bonfire to use up more of the extra wood we had here. So we sat outside for about an hour or so until it started to get too chilly.
HI MEOWEE ~ glad you are back on a good schedule and hope your Pumpkin Cheesecake turns out for you. I love turkey, dressing, and gravy; actually, I love it all ~ LOL! Oh well, it's a lovely celebration and only once a year. HEY PURPLE ~ I always try to make lots of veggies at both Thanksgiving and Christmas, so that I fill up on them instead of the other stuff. With a bit of the others too, you really don't miss that much. I had a good day today as far as my meals were, but fell in the snack department: gobbled down some popcorn this afternoon, but I suppose that it could have been a lot worse than that. Hope your stomach is feeling better real soon. HIYA VALDINE !!! Well, I'm off to do a puzzle before bed; take good care ladies, your friend :hug:ROSEBUD :hug: |
Good Morning . . . :grouphug:
Busy day today and I'm already behind on my self-imposed schedule. :dizzy: It is a very good thing that these 'special days' only come around once a year. BTW, just had to post this little article . . . http://www.everydayhealth.com/green-...iving_20081012 . . . we may all be doing more for the environmental concerns than we think. I know I got a few surprises. Not to say that we can't all do more, of course. :yes: See you later . . . :wave: |
Hi Ladies :thanks2: Happy thanksgiving for today :thanks2:
It is a glorious sunny :sunny: day today so decided to wash the covers from my three piece suite and :crossed: that I get them dry. Been busy in the house today with chores doing a good Hoover throughout the house, scrubbed the kitchen floor and then got way to hot so energy just went out of the window at brake neck speed. Feeling better now I have sat down for a while and let my temperature go down. I have been left feeling :tired: tired but I hope that will go the more cooler I become. I have still got to do my daily exercise but will go as soon as I am fit. Though I suspect it will be a small walk which is better than nothing. Yesterdays walk I run out of steam and had to stop at a café to recharge my batteries. Had a good 20+ plus stop which was enough to let me get going again. The homeward bound journey though is all downhill so much easier going that way than going. Last night practised the fandango in the bathroom and failed miserably :lol3: Well the truth of the matter I lost my footing in the bathroom and the next thing I knew I had fallen sidewards on the toilet banging my hip on there and my shoulder against the wall. It hurt and shook me up a bit but It could have been worse if the fall had not been broken some what. Had a lovely night with friends yesterday, she cooked home made leek and potato soup, roast lamb (New Zealand) with steamed vegetables, then a low fat cheese cake. It was all very nice but the host was worried about how much I had ( or how little I had on) on my plate for the main course. I explained that with the meal as a whole I had eaten way more than I do normally even my DH agreed. I have to eat little and often. To me my dinner was a good sized meal and since starting on my health eating plan I did reduce the size of my portions and had much larger potions of things like fruit and vegetable to fill up on. We then went on to play a game called RUMMIKUB which is a game with tiles with number values in 4 different colours and 2 jokes. You play it very much like a variation of rummy very enjoyable even though I came last :lol: but I love to take part in games I do not care whether I win or lose I just like the taking part. Played a card game and did equally as bad and came last again :lol3: well at least I was consitant :rofl: MEOWEE The pumpkin cheesecake sound divine :drool: I think it is really nice to have these little blow outs on special meals like this as it helps us keep on plan the rest of the time. I often tweak my calories leading up to something like that by saving something like 100 to 150 per day it does not sound much but if you do it for a week it give you some 700 to 1050 extra to have on this day so over the week it all pans out to having no more than normal but it allows all these extra calories for the treats. Plus even if you go over the extra calorie limit it is not going to be too damaging. Some people exercise more to get rid of the extra calorie but for us with challenges to overcome doing more on the exercise front is not always a possibility. ROSEBUD We are rapidly coming up to a night in the calendar that we celebrate and that is bonfire night which is on the 5th of November. This represents the foiled plan of Guy Fawkes blowing up the houses of Parliament hundreds of years ago. Since then a celebration has been done on this day. A effigy of Guy Fawkes is often made and burnt on the bonfire. This is a of thanksgiving to the fact the King on the throne at that time King Charles had been saved. Also some of the British Commonwealth countries also celebrate this day but it maybe known as pope day. This is because there was great divide in this country about protestants and catholics. Guy Fawkes was catholic and wanted catholic rule as the rest of Europe was. Though still to this day we are a protestant country as our religion. Though unlike years ago other religions are allowed to be freely practised rather than being done secretly. I will be going out bonfire night to friends to their party they have invited us. So quite looking forward to it. No particular special meal though bonfire toffee is usually eaten. Which has about 1000 calories per small piece. OK so I exaggerate :rofl: a little about that but there is copious amounts of sugar, treacle and butter. All in all it rots your teeth and puts 14lbs on you just looking at it but it is absolutely yummy. We will celebrate it at the weekend as it bonfire night falls in the middle of the week. As you can imagine as soon as it gets dark you get lots of fireworks and the air smells of them as there is so many going of. It is certainly a nice tradition for visitors to the country to see with everywhere the eye goes there is fireworks galore. Right :gossip: gossipping and blabbering :blah: on I must start tracks with the tea as I have not made in roads in that department today. We are eating a cooked meal today at this time due to being rather full from yesterday so thought it would be best to leave it till later when we would be more hungry. bye :wave: and take care ladies purpleorc |
HI LADIES ~ we were very blessed today to be invited out to a friend's for a turkey dinner at their place. We also played some games too; and everyone had some fun. It was nice to go somewhere and have a gathering with others at this special time.
HI MEOWEE ~ well, according to that list, DH and I a pretty green people; there were only 1 or 2 that we missed. But I have to say the one about the car's air conditioner was a bit funny: don't use it and you conserve gas; but use it by closing the windows to save on the drag effect, and you'll save on gas ... hmmm ... OKay ~ lol! HI PURPLE ~ your BONFIRE celebration sounds like fun; we do something like that on our country's birthday most years. And that tile game sounds interesting; I like rummy, but that just sounds like an interesting alternate version. Maybe your very tiny servings are the secret to your success in your weightloss; and maybe that's something I'll have to work on. As you say, it's much harder for us to keep increasing the exercise, as it wipes us out after a certain amount. I often end up so sore that the next day, I don't want to do anything extra simply becuz just walking is an effort for me ~ lol! Well, I'll take a look at my servings and see if I can peel a little off them here and there. I did pretty good today, I think; although I did have a small piece of pumpkin pie for dessert, but like MEOWEE says, it's a good thing these days don't come around too often. One thing that really bothers me, is that we don't have any restaurants here that serve a healthier fare. Some close down and others open up, but they just keep on serving the same high-fat stuff like fried this and fried that. We need a place that serves more grilled items like grilled or roasted fish, chicken, pork, or steak. I'd like something that has lean meat with a salad, and at most, maybe with a small baked potato, if I feel like that. I tried to get something like that this week and wasn't successful at all. One restaurant advertised a healthier menu, but when we went there, they were closed; can't have customers, if you are not there. It takes time, but you have to build up a clientele by being open at regular times: why were they closed on a Friday at noon??? Do any of you experience the same problem? ANYWAYS, it's getting late and I'm tired; hope you all are having a great weekend too. I'm going to go ahead and cook a turkey for tomorrow anyways as that will give us something for sandwiches too. Don't want to drag around a whole pile of frozen stuff either. Take good care ladies, your friend :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
Good Morning . . . :grouphug:
I actually did better than I expected at the Thankgsgiving Gorge-fest yesterday -- not a really OP kind of meal, but I did stay away from the really high calorie stuff (well, the mashed potatoes and gravy part anyway). One more big meal (a late lunch) to get through this afternoon and then this holiday will be behind us again for another year. I kind of like that our Thanksgiving is early because it gives us more time before Christmas to eat properly and hopefully, lost a couple of pounds before the really big eating holiday comes around. :lol: Have a great Monday, gang, even if you do have to go to work . . . :lol: |
:wave: HI THERE ~ spent a good part of my day, prepping foods and cooking and baking our turkey dinner; picked some carrots, onions, and turnips from the garden, and cooked them up with sliced celery; and made dressing for the turkey. Made homemade pumpkin pie for DH and a pumpkin custard for me; and they turned out swell.
So now we are both stuffed liked the turkey; Haha!!! I'm sure our stomachs have shrunk as we were feeling full with just one small plate; I think it was all the veggies as they do tend to fill you up faster. It was a very enjoyable meal, and we have leftovers for dinner tomorrow; just heat and serve: yeah! It will be nice to have turkey for sandwiches too. HI MEOWEE ~ yah, made sure to have lots of veggies to balance out this meal; they can really help you not to eat too much junky stuff. We didn't have much of that around here thankfully (only popcorn this weekend). We had a very warm day today; very unusual: in the 70's Farenheit. Just perfect for THANKSGIVING DAY, I think. On top of that, we had a nice light breeze come by just before dinnertime too. Now it's time for me to go have my evening tea and maybe I'll even do a puzzle tonight. HI TO PURPLE and VALDINE ~ hope you both had a lovely day. Take good care, your friend :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |

Hi Ladies
Tis a quick visit as I am :tired: tired after my treatment I popped in first thing this morning to give birthday wishes to Rosebud but no time for a post this morning. I had a really bad night with my trigeminial neuralgia last night the worse bout I have had in a long time. Going in the oxygen tank today did give me pain but a manageable pain. This is because you have a mask on your face but not one of these light weight ones but one of these heavy duty ones. There is only one sort of mask that I use and that is the one that has very soft rubber compared with the others. So this has compounded the fact that I am tired today as I slept on and off last night. Will be glad of my bed tonight :D ROSEBUD I reduced the portion sizes of things that were fatting or high in carbohydrates but over time so I got use to the changes. Then I changed to a slightly smaller plate for my meal. I think of the plate as a clock that I put meat and potatoes roughly into 1/4 of it and the other 3/4 of the plate I fill with seasonal vegetables. That way I do not have to measure and weigh to much which can be time consuming. I do weight my cereal for the morning as I tend to be very heavy handed on those without realising ;) I did not do these changes over night but over weeks and months. That way it is not over whelming and gives your body time to adjust to the new change in the regime. We had a treat today of a slice of carrot cake :o which probably had my whole days calories in :rofl: but to minimise the effects of the treat we are only having a small tea rather than the planned cooked one. It does us all good to have a treat now and again. Oh that carrot cake sure did taste good that is all I can say :D I have not had one since the beginning of healthy eating. MEOWEE Sound like you did excellent on the eating front despite all the tempting foods on offer. It is great that it does not come round more than once a year. Thats all folk till next time :wave: purpleorc :hug: |
Hi there . . . :wave:
A very Happy Birthday to you, ROSEBUD . . . always remember you are just getting better and better -- never any older. :high: Oh . . . and don't forget to get out there and VOTE today, Chickie. At lest the sun is shining for this Canadian Federal Election Day and I guess I'd better getmyself out there to the polling station and then off to the Doctor's office for my annual flu shot. Have a good Tursday everybody . . . :grouphug: |
AHHH ... THANKS SO MUCH for all the birthday wishes! We had a good day. First, we went and did our civic duty by VOTING for our federal election today. Then we went and put in an application for another place.
After that, we did some shopping and then went out for a little lunch. Then we picked up my birthday present, which I picked out. It is a 3-tiered hand-made wooden bird feeder that I had been admiring for some time, and a small desk organizer kit for my desk. I told DH that all I really wanted was a nice, warm place to live for my birthday ... lol! MEOWEE ~ THANKS FOR THE B-D WISHES and the voting reminder too. We marked it on our calendar, and it was easier to remember when it falls on your birthday. THANKS TO YOU TOO, PURPLE ~ for the birthday wishes, esp since you weren't feeling too well; so nice of you to think of me and to come in here and post so early in the morning on a busy day. Am sending up prayers for you that you are feeling better real soon. Yes, your eating plan sounds great; I have been doing similar things myself and sure could notice this holiday that we couldn't eat as much as we would have in the past. I picked up some more fruit and salad stuff today when we went shopping (strawberries, bananas, and pears). HI VAL ~ hope you are having a great and exciting week! Take good care ladies, your friend :hug:ROSEBUD:hug: |
happy belated thanksgiving fellow canadians
:hug: I hope all is well ladies. Work is overwhelming me. Life is overwhelming me. Being a landlord is overwhelming me. I was at my parents place for the holiday - I wish I could have been there forever! |
Hi Ladies
Well I washed a big pile of laundry last night on the weatherman's saying it would be partially sunny today. Oh dear at the minute it is :rain: raining so it looks like I will trying to dry it indoors. Either in the drier for some pieces or on the radiators for those which are unable to be tumble dried. I have to strip the bed shortly as I have my parents coming over today after the whist drive. Then run the Hoover over as I gave Rizzie some treats last night 2 sticks which smell horrid but he seems to like them :D Well he has got bits from them all over the place not quite sure how he managed that seeing as he ate them in the kitchen. Not to mention his ball which I can assure you will be making its way to the bin very shortly as it is shedding bright yellow bits over the floor. Which stand out like belisha beacons on a plain maroon carpet. MEOWEE Not sure when my flu jab is for this year but I am due to drop in my prescription so I will find out then from the doctors. I know they only take seconds to administer. They are a real blessing I think this vaccine. ROSEBUD Your welcome regards the birthday wishes I had it taped inside my medicine box so I would not forget. The main thing you had a nice day. Hopefully my facial pain has gone as it was for the majority of the day. Although I was fearful it was coming back as at about 11pm last night I had two jolts of pain go through the right side of my face. I normally have it on the left side of my face. It stopped me in my tracks but that was it no more since then. It has left my face tender but I can deal with the tenderness. I hear that you, Meowee and Valdine all went to the poling station. Well at a risk of sounding not up on foreign affairs :lol3: which election is it in Canada. Not sure if it is the general election as we call it when we vote to see who we want in government for the next 5 years. VALDINE I understand how everything is overwhelming at the minute you are taking on a new post and new to land lording. So you are finding your feet as you go along and it is all very scary. With several things like these becoming overwhelming it makes life seem overwhelming. Try to control the things that you can. The most importantly is your health. So try to eat, exercise and rest right. Take your prescribed medication as instructed and that is the best you can do. That is all anyone can do is their best. I hope things start settling down as you become more familiar in the work that you do and more relaxed about being a landlord. Though during this difficult time I am thinking of you and what a wonderful job you do. I know that at your age I could not deal with all those things especially along side dealing with the chronic condition of MS. Time for me to start my tasks for the day plus cook dinner somewhere inbetween ;) bye and take care :hug: purpleorc :hug: |
:wave:
It was a General Election . . . but we still have a minority federal government, so how long it will last before the next election call is anybody's guess. :shrug: |
