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.
Wsw! Glad you got on...we are experiencing Microsoft problems ourselves...am using mozilla browser right now. It keeps me on!
Another grey morn! And really blustery all night...is that what kept you up Anagram? I have to get dressed and find my buckets...I think that one of the girls is currently barking at one because it isn't in its' rightful place. She does like order, that one.
Another day on the wagon...it is getting easier now. Over 2 weeks I think and I'm really not craving anything.....yet . Ya never know! Of course I've learned not to start anything either, or nip it in the bud. The mini-binge that started last week was killed by planning.
Thanks for the condolences...there is a rather empty spot by my bed...she always slept on my side of the room.....
Anyway....it may snow today! Huh? Those flowers who stuck their heads up the past couple days are going to be shocked...not to mention the birds. It is too windy for me to walk this am, so it is weights for me!
Avanti! to all....keeping your spots warm on the wagon, and tea in the pot.
On we go . I'm trying out a pair of bifocal lenses but not sure if they're better or not. I can see some things more clearly but then they seem to shift around and since the prescription is different in the center than on the edges they go blurry when they do. I may just revert to the other kind and reading glasses.
Frustrating day yesterday. Our site utilities were down -- started off the day thinking I'd accomplish great things and barely managed to get the essentials done. Ah well.
Still struggling to get acclimatized and get going again. I've got to carve some time out to make a plan. "Failing to plan is planning to fail"
WSW, so great to see you! We do miss our royal companions when we can't be in touch, don't we. And sometimes the palace is down to a skeleton crew but the palace has stood for years and the royals often return from their travels. Wondering about Punkinseed. And more recently, Wildfire.
Anagram, we should have met somewhere in the palace through the long darj hours. I've been awake the past couple of nights too. Friday I woke up at 3 and was up for the day. And then Sunday night and last night I went to bed sleepy but then just laid there. I often don't sleep well around the full moon. I may pick up some valerian to take tonight. Can you nap today?
Ceara, we're supposed to get snow changing to freezing rain later today. I s'pose it prolly behooves me to get my royal butt out there for a walk before all that untowardness starts.
Interviewing a boy for the production position this afternoon. It'd be wonderful to have that taken care of
Arabella, it took me over 2 years to get used to mine. I wear them all the time now, and use the straight reading glasses for piano playing and extended reading. I found the "blind" non-corrective spots at the side most disconcerting at first but have finally gotten used to them. I would wear my "distance" glasses most of the time and the blended bifocals at work. Eventually I was used enough to them to be able to drive with them on. At least they don't make me woozy like they did at first....they made keyboards...computer and piano..look like the high seas. It made them roll and rock as you typed/played. Barf!
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.
Two day strings are better than no day strings! One step at a time sez the turtle to the rabbit! Am off for a church bored meeting....so will have a cuppa meself before I go.
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
Ah...good morning! The sun is out, and the wind is still blowing. At least it will dry up the water on the fields. I am going to attempt to walk...I really hate wind though. Makes my eyes run like crazy. And I need to do the stability exercises. Mind appears to be as OK as ever...although some may not agree
Long day at work today...and Adult Book Club after at 8. We are doing Irish this month....could be interesting.
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.
Well, Book Club went well last night...have some new authors to read. Cancelled the programmes for this am and tomorrow...lack of registration. So, I have a little more time. Am looking at upcoming shows to enter....
Decided to hang out here and abandon the BFLFW thread until the wanderers return. So you guys get the report. Managed the walk yesterday...though it was windy, it wasn't too bad. Today is the walk and weights day...plus the stabilities. Supposed to do those 6x a week....am workin' on it. They take me less time now because I have the routine starting under my belt...I have substituted a different lower ab though...the other one was hard on the incision area. Clothes-o-meter is good...wore another pair of pants I've not worn for a while yesterday. And my blouses fit better..in the arms and boobs
Anyhow...Up and At 'Em, Atom Ant! How's everybody? Where's everybody
Wsw! Glad you got on...we are experiencing Microsoft problems ourselves...am using mozilla browser right now. It keeps me on!

Good morning, Queenlies!
