If you're "J Smith," people have to be able to pick out the right one ('Smith, Smith, Smith, oh, yeah, the Smiths live on North Oak St.'); if you're "V Schmarkdovkilis," you're a sitting duck. I do see your point. Between the city / neighborhood though...

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Travel day 1 observations: The high desert country in eastern Washington and Oregon is so open I felt like I was going to be picked up by an eagle. 80 plus miles an hour doesn’t feel fast after awhile. (It is posted as 80 in spots) it’s amazing to me that I can find good Celiac friendly restaurants even out in the middle of “nowhere “. Idaho has a lot of cornfields but I haven’t seen a single potato field. Nine hours of driving and I can still function. I really think my hip exercises are helping. 101 degrees amazingly didn’t feel that hot. Being in a single room crammed with three of us in a home where the air bnb owners are actually living is a bit awkward.

Junie Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Good Morning! I was at an outdoor event yesterday and got a pretty bad sunburn. No blisters, but I am Red. I keep hearing comments like "Does it hurt?" and "Oh, you poor girl." It hurts some, but it's no worse than the pain I already have every day. Shrug. I had a really good time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have aloe? Jean - yay for steps! You're amazing! Duck - is the poison ivy getting better? I would be such a baby if I had it. m25a - I don't suffer from insomnia, but I do sometimes suffer from other people's snoring.

mama25angels Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Another Lynn--I think "other people " snoring and their need to have a movie on is why I mostly suffer from insomnia!

Mama25angels, most of us here have insomnia sometimes, and we share it with each other. It's, at times, one of the ITT communicable illnesses. I'll say it again, the beat cure I found for hot flashes and insomnia was yam cream/progesterone cream. Well, July was one year for me since my last cycle, so I guess I am officially out of peri- and into meno- so I thought the hot flashes would go away. I should really read up on the subject, but I just don’t feel like it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did contra dancing 25 years ago when I did volunteer-work in Kentucky. That was a lot of fun. The club we visited was incredibly kind. I am so incredibly un-coordinated. Here’s an embarrassing secret, I only share with my ITT friends. So, yesterday at VBS we were doing the songs and I was attempting to do the motions. One of the other leaders was watching me and said, “oh, i’ll Bet you guys had different motions when you did these songs at your church,” and I just nodded my head, as if that was the real reason I looked like a wounded duck paddling upstream. The reality is, I can’t do motions. They totally confuse me, and I have no innate rhythm or grace. My body doesn’t “flow with the music”.

prairiewindmomma Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I had to go off all of my meds this week, including my RA ones, so my insomnia is brought on by pain. I don't sleep as deeply when I hurt, so I woke at 3 when dd crawled into bed with us, and gave up at 4 when dh briefly got up (and was snoring 10 minutes later). I tidied a bit in the school room, booted laundry and dishes, and have two loaves of banana bread finishing up in the oven, though, so it hasn't been a total loss. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a mini-nap earlier but then Productivity Guilt kicked in and woke me up after about 25 minutes. So I coffeed and cooked lunch. DS is helping DH mow lawns again today. DD has a friend over.

Critterfixer Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I am back from painting sunflowers. We stopped by the library on the way home. I picked up cook books because Susan's meal plan inspired me. I'm not ready to cook yet, but I'm ready to think about cooking. It's August, and that means my summer depression will soon be on the wane. Light already looks different in the mornings. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
