Hello! Not much going on here. Living the day to day of work, cook, clean, workout, etc. The world cup of soccer started Thursday so we signed up to be able to see all the matches. I don't know about another trip this year. We are still waiting to get the Medicare part B card that will...

We're kind of in a holding pattern waiting Dan to get full Medicare to see what his next steps are. I think we'll be going to Bethesda, MD to see a doctor at Johns Hopkins who specializes in back and nerve issues. I've been releasing my stress through spring cleaning. So far I have the living...

My week was good! Poor Dan though-his leg is getting weaker. He's been using the cane again. I've been busy running things around the house and doing more basement chores for the cats and the dehumidifier. It's chilly and rainy here this weekend. I did total body weights on Thursday and...

We have yet to hear (a week later) what the nerve testing found-probably nothing. That's the main reason he's getting on to Medicare B/C now-he's so frustrated with not being able to walk for fitness. We already got the part C and D cards. Now we have to wait for the Medicare B. You have to...

I feel like I just get through my days at work. I need to get a better mindset. A friend of mine from here just found out her youngest daughter has MS. It's awful. Between that and all the problems I see at work it's just so depressing sometimes. Not at work is great! I get time to read...

It took a week, but my stomach calmed down finally! I'm back to walking and doing weights. I also got my wash done this past weekend and had a lot more energy. We met with a medicare advisor last night and DH will be signed up July 1st. I highly recommend meeting with someone. We went...

Monday I went to the doctor about my GI issues. She dx it as a gastritis flare. So, I'm on a bland diet and trying to get rid of the nausea. I have not been up to working out at all. I've been good with just getting through work so far this week. I didn't even unpack until Sunday. Thank...

My weekend was fine. I did my wash so have started packing. I am not bringing much either. I'd like to do some hiking, biking, walking, swimming and just get to know the area. There are day trips to the Grand Canyon available-would you want to do that one day? It will be so nice to be warm...

I got the time changed to 6:30. I'm starting to pack in my head and am ready for warm weather! It's 20 degrees here right now with the high of 40 today. I'm obviously not walking to work today. We went and saw the surgeon yesterday. She does not see a need to operate. So DH has to manage...

Sorry I've been quiet so long. I'm glad it's Friday. Work is pretty stressful right now. We have a lot of staff changeovers and insurance companies are paying less and less and it seems like patients are getting more demanding and insurance rules. I'm sorry to hear about your brother. I...

Have you gotten anything on Cathe's latest sale? I just picked up a new yoga mat and the little step mat. It was $30 with shipping, but I think I'll get a lot of use out of both. Dan and I have been trying to do a 15-30 minute stretch routine daily and this way we'll both have a mat! Plus...

My flight gets to Phoenix International Airport at 10:00 AM on Monday. I am flying Delta. You get there at 11:50. What time do you want to get the shuttle car? Is 1 PM good? That gives you time to get off and for us to find each other. Also, what time is your flight on Friday? Mine leaves...

Naturally, Dan's appointment with neurosurgery has been rescheduled until April 7th. So, we wait some more. How was your week? Are you on call? Mine was pretty normal. I was able to walk to work Tuesday and Wednesday and do a total body weight workout on Thursday. Today I'm going to do a...

I'm ok. Back to work tomorrow and am not looking forward to it. I'm ok. He's out of pain and the service was lovely. I did a few total body's the past week and some walks. It's been nice enough here and with the time change I'm planning on walking to work again this week. It might rain...

Well, my dad passed yesterday. He was on morphine for the last few days and just passed in his sleep. As sad as it is, he's at least out of pain and at rest. His quality of life was not good and I'll remember all the good times. I've never blamed him for what happened and tried to spend as...

Funny-I just got some new glute bands from Amazon. We have this rewardo platform at work and you can earn points and then get swag from the company or gift cards, etc. I ended up using 21 points for new bands and love them! I've been getting in weights and a little cardio. We just had...

I am so glad that work is going better! You definitely needed a change. Did you have a good weekend? I had book club here on Sunday so spent most of the weekend cleaning and getting ready for it. My dad is back in the hospital so I saw him. He's very confused, but knew me and Dan which was...

I decided to take a week or so off from working out. I don't know if it's the cold or what, but I do not feel like working out at all. So Monday I rode bike and that's it for this week! If I feel up to something over the weekend I might do something. I've started another photo album. It's...

It's Thursday and I got to the pool again last night! Hoping to make that a weekly habit. Have you noticed it taking longer to recover from heavy weight workouts? My legs are still sore from Sunday. I hoped to do another total body today, but might just do heavy upper. What are you up to this...

We are expecting up to 21 inches of snow today! so far we have 5 inches. Fortunately, we're not getting sleet or ice on top of it. Tomorrow will be shovel max I think. Good day for soccer and football. I'm still just doing what I feel like doing. It's working out pretty good. I got to the...
