thanks for your thoughts. he seems better today. underfoot but not as bad. he's a sweetheart , hoping this works. I take him to the vet for a vaccine booster and a new kitty checkup. a clinic I've used for a long time but a new vet. he has no interest in going outside so far, something we...

we thought we would walk this morning but no enthusiasm today so we are painting the bathroom instead. always takes more time than you think it will. otherwise its ready for the plumber who is next. dont have a date yet but probably before xmas. we are having second thoughts about the...

We did a park walk yesterday for 1 hr 15 minutes. got it done before the rain started and got all our assorted errands and groceries done on the way home. a marvel of efficiency!. did therapy work and some upper body things later. the saga of the failing computer goes on. we got the...

I learned to type on a standard typewriter long long ago when it was assumed I would be a secretary or something. with the carriage return and all. I now have a couple arthritic fingers that interfere and have developed a unique way of typing. it works for the amount I do. the...

got another new computer today. I will use temporarily but DH's system is dying too. both our desktops were about the same age and not able to go to Windows 11 when it tells you hard drive is failing, it is. we decided to keep the dell system and replace the wireless card. so I will use...

Judy we got a kitty today on the way from our mt bike ride. it was 75 min and went ok. much harder than riding around our neighborhood on pavement! the place we ride closes trails nov 1 but the roads are rideable but are assorted gravel/dirt surfaces. weve been stopping at the Noah...

Carolyn just for giggles, albertsons is now suing Kroger for not thinking this merger idea out well enough.... or something like that. for me there is hardly a store not part of the merger deal. a few small markets. it was the entire grocery landscape in a lot of western WA. I shop...

Shannon I grew up in wisconsin. nobody I knew did sports that I think of as sports. I used to ice skate in the winter, a little downhill skiing. I bicycled some but not very good there. too hot humid and buggy to do much in summer. I hated it there and moved to WA as a 20-something, also...

My xc ski history is long. I used to be a really good xc skier and taught DH how to ski. we used to go often and a lot of miles. there used to be a lot of old logging roads in the mountains that went to trailheads. we would drive up the roads as far as was safe, and then ski from there...

We intended to xc ski this morning but did the drive and snow was way less than expected, icy and driven on. I didnt ( barely anyway) ski or snowshoe last year due to the big surgery. I was nervous about even going. will try again after there's more snow. it forced us to locate all the...

Its not perfect but our mail delivery is generally decent. we occasionally get a wrong address piece but when we have a regular delivery person, it's usually accurate. mail theft unfortunately commonplace around here. sometimes the thieves take the entire blue box. I never use the...

This particular eye clinic has been around for decades, first the father who I used for most of the time, and now his son ( and other colleagues) who has stepped in. he's been there for years too, so not a "newbie". location is ok. its where I got glasses and contact lenses and eye exams...

I did 15 on the spin bike and watched part of the new upper body workout. I only did about 20 min of it but had already done push ups, therapy work, curls. I was surprised. the first exercises looked easy but in reality were not all that simple, didnt plan my time well. will finish it...

thanks for that judy. I sit more upright than I used to but usually lean on my forearms on the bars. DH raises the whole handlebar section way up. not good for me. its easy, one lever, lift or lower. when I was shopping for spin bikes I remember seeing ones with 2 position bars but thats a...

Shannon for the first eye surgery , I was later in the morning. they "sanitize" between patients. a very smooth transition from person to person with the same team of people. I'm guessing they can do maybe 2 procedures per hour if all goes smoothly. all the decisions are made before...

I'm more into make up. I use a light foundation every day. its got moisturizer and low level sunscreen. I have rosacea and this routine keeps it 100% settled down. my right eyebrow was a casualty on a pool edge when I was little. I always fill in the missing area. and mascara. the...

the surgery itself is very fast. everyone is lined up in their own bed, IVs running. I was the first but the doctor was late getting there. bad fog that morning that messed with driving. the actual procedure is 15 minutes or less. you are completely awake during and he might give some...

We have good internet service but not in the exercise room (s). It has to do with shielding for the wood stove area with metal and brick or at least that's what I assume is the cause. DVDs are simpler and reliable. I like the premixes and time savers too.

Carolyn it was smooth and easy. I still get nervous because thats the way I am. today Im seeing 20/25 distance, easily 20/20 close up. no discomfort, cant tell anything was done except no eye make up. I'm pushy about make up but not for a week on that eye. I go back for a 3 week...

Did the surgery this morning and was home by about 9. I was patient #1 at 7:30. all went ok. i was not as sedated when I went in so got to look at more stuff and ask more questions. people who rotate thru later are pretty sedated when they roll into the surgery room. it really is an...
