hi. i never know if i'm going to be able to get back on here or not. the past week, any time i opened this thread, i got kicked offline (if i could even get that far!) sooo if i disappear again for any length of time, it may just be computer stuff. i've been thinking about you all, and wanted to say hello while i can. i am not caught up on your posts yet, but did want to check in at least. in this time when i thought i might not be able to get back here at all, i was very disappointed realizing how much i missed all of you. anyway, i have been getting over this long cold, and hanging op by my dainty fingernail. i had been eating larger portions again, but seem to be back on the wagon full-steam at least in the past couple of days. well, take care, all.

Sleepless night again, drat! Loverly to hear from you, wsw. Was missing you too. Computer problems seem to be everywhere any more. And I'm not good at solving them.

Arabella, I'd rather have the bejeweled crown and for what I'm paying for the oral one I could have probably picked up some tasteful little bauble.

My sympathy, Ceara, on your loss. Even if you had more years with her than you could normally expect, it's still the letting go that hurts.

Thought I had missed some posts so checked back a good bit until it finally dawned on me to check the other thread for that info.

Sounds like you had the perfect weekend, Arabella. The cold wave is pushing through here this night but I think we've dodged the worst of the storms. I sure did enjoy that little foretaste of spring.

Put me down in the camp of reading glasses over contact lenses. A nuisance all around.

Don't know if it was full moon (I too have a tendency not to sleep as well then) or if I fell asleep on the sofa too early then went to bed instead of bustling around a bit plus it was tres windy but we did miss the severe thunderstorms that were "probable". No nap today, too many runarounds. A Mass for dh this a.m., then electrolysis, library, church (different one). Home for a bit then haircut and groceries, etc., etc. Get worn out running around and then nod off as soon as I sit down. OK if I sleep 20 minutes or so but often I really conk out. Plus I was a little in a funk last evening before I fell asleep - so many little things going wrong/breaking/and so on. And it was with me when I was up in middle of night but better after I got a few early morning winks. But only a few and up at six. In a better frame of mind after running around in the bright /brisk sunshine.

Windy, cold, sun waving byebye now. Snow expected Friday, probably not much.

Been getting little things done in between all the runs. Maybe this will be my ONE DAY of accomplishment this week.

I've had a string of "almost good" days - a string of two so far but did get in a good walk yesterday. Trying to squeeze one in somewhere today too but.....If not, I'll do some stretching stuff tonight.

So, it's off I are. Must have my cuppa chai before I leave.

Smile s - it's the only way.

good to be able to get on again tonight! today went well food and exercise-wise. anagram-hope you will be able to get some good rest tonight. ceara-so sorry about the loss of one of your old girls! arabella-took me quite a while to get used to using bifocals. when i needed reading glasses, i just continued with my contact lenses to see far away, and use them with reading glasses. i only use my bifocals in evening after i take out my contacts, and they definitely took me a good amount of time 'til i got the hang of walking while wearing them. hi kaylets-we're having those whacky weather highs to low temps also, along with some serious wind, too. well, hello to our lovely royal kingdom, one and all

Cold, windy but very bright here today as well. WAY too windy to walk outside yesterday - keeping it on list for today too esp. if wind calms a bit as it's supposed to.

Did get a lot done yesterday and so far this morning. This is my day for two bereavement support meetings. Dr. tomorrow again. I think I'm getting ready to have some fun - just don't know what that will be.

Hello anagram!
Happy to hear you are doing so well! :

HI ladies!!! Haven't been on in a while. Been trying to sort out this job thing. Do I want to look for something else? I don't really know!!!

Anyway...Will try to catch up with everyone over lunch.

Back later!
