Good afternoon!

8 years ago

Had a rough night, after working out yesterday afternoon. It was a couple hours later when I was watching a tv show on-line and my right thigh started to cramp really bad. I had worked out for about an hour, the last set of exercises were some pretty intense leg exercises. The pain was horrible, then the other leg started cramping. Mostly in the upper legs. Laid down for a little bit and it eased up. While I started to fall asleep it started back again. Finally made it to the shower and took a long hot shower that helped.

I'm going to go get something to sip on with electrolytes in it. I've been drinking tons of water which probably flushed everything out of me.

Was going to clean the house but my legs are sore, so going to take it easy after I run to the store. Hope you all have a great day!

Hey, Kath - no pain, no gain! : ) Congrats to you for exercising. I wish I had the ambition.

Boy it has been a dark and VERY windy afternoon here today. The morning was sunny and breezy but by 2:30p or so clouds rolled in and the wind really picked up. Some rain too. Now at 5:30p I can still hear the wind out there, plus the temp is dropping.

No Outlander tonight. :( At least Poldark will be on. Next week the new season of The Walking Dead returns but then there's the 2hr. "extended episode" of Outlander which will overlap. I think I'll opt for Outlander and catch TWD rerun at some point.

Been nursing a sore middle toe. Been told it's arthritis. Stayed home in the am, and for lunch I had lobster bisque and lobster balls. Really tasty.

Temps going down into the 50's for most of the week. Won't be going to water aerobics until the bubble goes up over the pool. Some loyal water aerobics friends will go, but not me.

I am so happy you will see your daughter soon, kathsgrdn. Not having a nice regular sleep pattern is exhausting. Have you tried guided imagery to help you get to sleep? I have spent the day trying to organize the family's schedule through the end of the year. My boys are in different schools, so Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks need more coordination than usual. I have accomplished nothing at all on that score. My husband's schedule is the controlling factor and he has a few things up in the air making planning a pain. I will wait until later next week to nail things down. Mama pinky, fish on the grill sounds lovely. I will try adding Parmesan to my oven baked potatoes in the future (I often use salt, pepper and cumin.) No worries about email- I know all about that ;-) Marilyn_Sue, what fun to get to shop with daughters! I have only boys. Nobody likes to shop with me :-(

Mamma Pinky, No, he can not eat anything very thin, so he says. He can not get it in his mouth, will not use a smoothy straw even for that. Won't eat any other kind of cooked cereal, won't eat mashed potatoes with lots of gravy or broth to make it smoother. He will eat puddings, sometimes with small pieces of cake soaked into it. Won't eat any Jello. Will eat candied sweet potatoes with lots of syrup and mashed well. I do put eggs, milk, butter, bananas, cheese and such at different times in his oatmeal just to vary it. I don't even know if he tastes his food. Sometimes ice cream on top of the oatmeal. He does eat applesauce and he gets 4 nutritional drinks a day. Drinks some water and that is it. This has been going on for 3 years now. He has gotten worse since the stroke, because he would not continue his speech therapy. Speech and swallowing are sort of linked together, the muscles that is. So, that is the way it is. His speech is so terrible, most of the time I can not understand him. This was his second big stroke. He can not maneuver stairs very well, so twice a day I carry his meals up to him. He only wants to eat twice a day. We live in a bi level home, my kitchen, dining room and family room are down below. Living room and bedrooms up on the upper level, which is also ground level. I am sure there are many on here that have had to deal with a stroke patient. It also affects the mind. Sue

Good afternoon :-) Great find Nicole. DH brings not very exciting stuff home for me like fence material and things like that. Much appreciated but not very fancy even though it is free :-) he gets it on his job sites. When they are throwing stuff away they ask him if he wants it. I'm here having pizza with my husband. well sort of. he got a business call so I'm talking to you. My view outside the window is one of a traditional Vancouver gray rainy day. You can see me often with whole over layer of wool, hat, gloves, sweater, with a down vest,. Also a thin Merino wool underlayer which you can't see of course, and wool socks. I walk dogs as part of my living so wool keeps me warm even when I'm wet. I have to go and make a call about my accounting software today yuck. Then it's time to make chicken curry dinner. Happy Thursday all :-).

It's raining again today and expected to rain for the weekend and into Monday. Rain forests do rain very well. Sad news. Still no sign of my cat. Chilli disappeared Monday night and it appears he's gotten in some kind of bad trouble. We're heartbroken as we lost our other cat 2 months ago as well. River was a feral but was coming in and going for walks with us, Chilli and the dogs all the time for 6 months. I'm afraid he got killed by the wildlife here. Chilli never stayed outside at all but he was here then wasn't. No one saw him go. I called and called... I haven't been sleeping.

We got up early to continue walking that old horse here, Went to where I had left him, and he was gone! We found him about 10 minutes later, happily eating grass behind a nearby house. Caught him and started walking. Had to cross an arched bridge over the bayou, and he wasn't going for that. would hate to fight him on top of it, for fear if he blew up too badly, he could go over the side.......but with a little feed, I coaxed him across. He walked pretty good, but you could tell he was tired. We stopped to rest often. Made it home at 10:30.

Turned him loose in the barn lot and gave him some hay. This evening I gave him a little senior feed. I will be feeding him, and the new fillies, four times a day. Small amounts....they assimilate it better.
