Wheres Toto Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I have been doing the occasional mini challenges on Fitbit where you walk the Grand Canyon or something. But I'm not in Fitbit enough so it's like I go on and join, then next time I go on it's done. I don't seem to get emails or anything that encourage or remind or anything and I kind of need that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I'm meeting dd to work out this morning and give her boxes so she can start packing to move into her new apartment. My mom is now planning to stay with my aunt during the construction of her room instead of a camper. Which is actually better for us (no payments on a camper) but she was worried we would be upset/insulted and got herself all worked up before she told us. Met the realtor yesterday about the storage space above the science center. It definitely won't work as a classroom. It's small with a bump out that makes it awkward and very ugly. Patched together walls where doors, etc. were covered up. But it will work for storage and is cheaper per square foot than my storage unit. Turns out he didn't even see our higher offer for the other, really big space and he's going to talk to the landlord so that actually may still be on the table. These ups and downs are driving me crazy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!~D Tuesday!!! It is DH & my Anniversary today. Nineteen years of wedded bliss. We are going out to dinner tonight at a restaurant in the Big City that we used to frequent when we were dating. It’s nothing fancy, just a little Mexican place, but they have good food. This morning I am helping at church prepare meals for VBS. Our VBS next week is in the evening and we are going to serve supper, too so I’m helping make Mac&cheese that will be frozen until next week. . 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 5 hours ago, Wheres Toto said: Average running is 180 steps per minute x 60 minutes an hour is 10,800 steps per hour average running pace. Divide 100,000 by 10800 and that is 9 hours of non stop running. 😲 That's insane. Is this like training and running a marathon once a year or is this something people are doing on a regular basis? I will never live in that land. I will never live in a land where I have that kind of free time in a day. Or even half that in a day to train. I think that it's more like a once a year thing. I hope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Dd14 is feeling upset today because yesterday when she was on her dog-walking job, a neighbor dog (who is usually fenced in) was out and attacked one of her puppies. She brought her to our house and checked her out and cleaned off her foot which had a bit of a cut on it, but later it turns out that puppy had a petty big gash in her side and had to go get stitches. The owner wasn't mad at dd or anything, so that was good. It's a Bad Bite Booyah! This is the thread that never ends, It just goes on and on my friends.

Susan in TN Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) My backpack is all packed and stuck inside the giant duffle for check-in luggage. Travel clothes laid out. Other things are ready. I made my list and checked it twice. I made dd14 go through her stuff and my list with me to see if there were any things she hadn't gotten ready. She was not pleased, even though I have been warning her for 2 days that This Would Be Happening. oh well. I'm planning to get up at Lynn o'clock to check into our flight online. Then I need to do some grocery shopping. Other than that, I get to sit around all day and be nervous until Bedtime.

Susan in TN Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 We are giving the troop leader a ride to the airport. Everyone is planning to meet at there at 4:15 am. Our flight leaves at 5:20. I'm not sure why they think that is adequate time to check our bags and etc on Southwest, which has been having computer glitches this week - I would prefer to get there much earlier but have not been able to convince them. So much hair pulling. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I think we may have caught the plague. We get tested tomorrow but we all feel like we're dying. I use Garden Life Probiotics because despite Jean telling me what she takes 7 times and me having it written down in 3 different places I couldn't remember what she told me to buy. Garden Life is good. I am on $450/mo in supplements because of Lupus. They make a huge difference but I'm stupendously ready to be not in a flare anymore. Susan travels too much. I'm both jealous and not, because tired. We have a tentative trip planned for December, but it's not backpacking! I think my husband might actually do the Appalachian Trail one day. He's wanted to since he was like 16. I am not going. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) @Slache Any word on the Plague status? So you should research this yourself, obviously, but I was reading recently about fighting viruses by nebulizing 3% hydrogen peroxide solution (the kind you get at the drug store in the brown bottle), or a mix of hp and saline, if the hp is too "aggressive" for you. #notadoctornordoiplayoneontv Edited June 16, 2021 by Susan in TN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The Portal is being quite generous at the moment. I am nervous. Like "about to play in a solo recital" nervous. Once I we are sitting on the plane, I'm sure I will be fine. I called my PCP to see if she would prescribe me a UTI antibiotic to take along on the trail "just in case" but have not heard back. However, I did find a fairly recently prescribed antibiotic in the medicine box that a family member for some reason did not take, has not expired, and will work for a bacterial UTI. I am taking it along if my PCP does not come through. I am not in favor of taking antibiotics willy-nilly, but with the possibility of mild dehydration and being out in the middle of nowhere with no sanitary bathroom facilities, I would rather be safe than sorry. I will also have my d-mannose, cranberry, probiotic, and vitamin D supplements. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Went to the doctor (diabetic and everything else wrong with me checkup). So basically his solution to my pain was to tell me to work out less. Xena is not amused. I told dh when the doctor said. Dh: "WHAT?" Me: "Don't worry. I will probably ignore it." Dh: "That's true." Me: "I'm pretty sure that the doctor knows that I am going to ignore what he said as well." And on that note: I just came in from 45 minutes of weeding. The first weeding I have done in over a week. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t sleep with air conditioning on for some reason, but it just doesn’t cool down at night. I am 2 weeks over due for a cut-and-color and my appointment is a week from today.

Critterfixer Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hot here, too, but not 110. At this level of humidity, I think that would probably kill me. Mid 90s. Kitten is doing well sleeping at night by herself. However, she thinks that she should only nap on my desk while touching me. So I have a cat blankie between my arms while I revise, and she naps there. I'm currently debating when I want to take a day or a week and clean the whole house. It really needs it. But I'm low on energy with which to clean. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I took a week off from weeding due to a week plus of rain and a fibro flare (probably one caused the other).
