What does fitness mean to you? The other day I was reading a fitness magazine and wondered why I couldn't look/workout/ eat like the women in the magazine. Then I realized these women have

It was after 3 before I turned off the light and still woke up before 6. I was hoping I could go back to sleep, but the brain is on, for now. I have that sort of icky sick feeling from not enough sleep. I was plenty tired when I got home, but got a second wind and started doing things around here. Before I knew it, it was after 3. My cell phone did a funny ring at 2:56. It said PRIVATE, but I answered it anyway in case it was an emergency, but no one said anything. Must have been a wrong number.


Today is my day to go to the nursing home. As much as I enjoy being with Dad, after more than 6 hours at the ER last night I would really like to plant the 3 dozen flowers I have, get the new blade on the edger and use that, and then blow off all the sidewalks, driveway, and curbs. That would be therapeutic and put my mind at ease for a while about how the yard looks.


Karen, what kind of butterflies are you seeing? I have lots of Monarchs (orange with black stripes), Giant Tiger Swallowtails and other Swallowtails, Cloudless Sulphur, Zebra Longwing, and I think some Queens and Viceroys which both are similar to Monarchs. Had a majectic female Tiger Swallowtail yesterday. They are much larger than the males. It's always exciting to see those. Love to see hummingbirds too.

Lori,

I'm sorry to hear of your struggles. Doctors can be "turds". It reminds me of the doctor many years ago that my Dad used. He used to sit across from my Dad in his office blowing smoke in his face as he told him that he needed to quit smoking. Obviously, this was back in the day-but same theory! It's really hard to try so very hard and not see the results that you're working for.

Sending you extra big hugs!

Good Morning,

Looks like another HHH day here. We're supposed to have storms move in and clear this ick out and much drier air for tomorrow.

Rhonda-hope you see improvement in your Dad today. Very long day for you yesterday and your yard work exhausted me thinking about it!

Work is on the agenda and hoping the day passes quickly-not the frantic busy just a nice busy to keep the day rolling along. DD is picking me up at lunch time and taking me for lunch. She won't be around this evening as she has a wedding rehearsal and dinner afterwards for the wedding from he** that she's in this Friday. The girl is a good friend of DD's since they attended grad school together. She's sort of changed personality and since she's been with this guy and she turned into a bit of a Bridezilla.

My boys are taking me to dinner at my favorite Italian place and I do intend to partake in the "dessert" menu!

Running late as usual so better get movin' on out of here! Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

Susan

As usual I'm running late. I can't seem to get my act

Lori, I could have written the first part of your post. I, too, am struggling with how I used to look and using that as my benchmark rather than other people. Weight wasn't an issue till mid-to late 40's and it's become so much harder to drop it than it used to be. Unfortunately, everything else dropping is taking place at warp speed!


If my desk is any indication, which I believe it is, of what the inside of my head is like then it is really scary!!


Many drs. are turds. They have God complexes and are arrogant and way too impressed with themselves. Dad's primary care physician at the nursing home is the perfect example of that.

Ditto! I've even had good luck with used books from their independent sellers.

I get to work in the yard again today too. Mom is giving me a break. I keep saying I'm going back to bed, but haven't done it yet. If I can get the blade replaced, I'll edge all the sidewalks, curbs, driveway, etc., and then use the blower to get all the debris from them and the adjacent streets. I'd also like to get those 3 dozen plants in the ground.


I really need to be more conscientious about using bug spray, also gardening gloves.


How fun to get to go see your DS and DDIL!
