Comments (35)Hi all. . . thought I'd stop and say hi--I'm hoping we can get to Webbers Falls this year. Gardening has come to nearly a full stop, though I'll grow some peppers and herbs and onions. Love the peppers! I saw in an earlier post that you wanted to grow Sugar Rush Peach peppers, Jennifer? I'm sure I'll have extra plants and should have plenty of seeds. The rest of my time this spring will be in trying to clean up the existing beds! And that could be a full-time job. Although I'm feeling pretty good physically now (after a few years with the bad hip, it's good as new), GDW is in bad shape with his knees. Geez, if it's not one thing, it's another. All around us--Tulsa, Wagoner, Tahlequa--were talking about the earthquake--we were both up--our critters weren't acting up, and we didn't feel a thing. Weird. My own guess, flawed as it may be, is that it's because our place is pretty much solid rock. . . (haha, you know, build your house upon a rock!)...See MoreHealthy Lifestyle Progress - Week of 1/5/2025
Comments (19)Gscience, I usually call my office the computer room since DH used to have his play computer back here also. Both computer room and masterbed room are on the north side of the house so I feel your cold. Our north windows became drafty where the bottom window latch meets the top window & it was last year I discovered bubble wrap stuck tight in the gaps. What a difference! The only thing different I'm doing beginning today is taking Centrum Silver. I don't eat as well as I should, especially meat/iron. Oddly enough, with my poor eating habits my blood sugar went down. Especially since I stopped taking another med (not Ozempic, yuck!) with my regular meds (I'm so done with Ozempic, makes me sick) because I had the main side effect, dizziness. And I unintentionally lost 5 pounds the past three months. I guess this is a NYE resolution, I'm being diligent in keeping my whole body moisturized, especially feet, hands, and face. Norovirus is breaking out everywhere, and of course OK doesn't keep track of it, but the day after Christmas DS & family went to OH for a week, and while driving home, the middle DGD threw up all the way. They had bags for her and had to get home before they got stuck in the OH snow. OH is having a Noro outbreak. I bet it's in OK now. lol I've had it and I don't ever want to get it again!...See MoreHealthy Lifestyle Progress - Week of 1/19/2025
Comments (6)This weekend the temperatures weren't too bad, but the big drop is coming. I have the Mustang on the battery tender. I wasn't sure how old is the battery in the Outback, and it is the original battery from what I determined. It's a 2021, so a little yikes. However, I ordered a battery tester from A and it tested fine both with voltage and cold crank. So, we'll see. We may also see a little bit more snow Tuesday night into Wednesday. But event the highs won't be above freezing. We will have to drip the faucets to preserve the pipes. Glad we have the new furnace. Both of us are off for MLK day tomorrow. I have the Y booked. I went to the Y for weights today. Not sure what days will be Pilates this week. Of course, big trip on Friday! I need to get a haircut. I'm scheduled for Wed but I might ask to move it. We have leftover Mexican food for tonight and I bought pork chops for tomorrow or else later in the week. Just trying to stay warm! Have a good week....See MoreHealthy Lifestyle Progress - Week of 1/26/2025
Comments (7)Funky, I'm sorry you've been sick! I have been busy and haven't had the time to check in on these threads lately. I am glad you're starting to feel better and hope you're back to normal soon. My health and fitness dedication has unfortunately been a bit of a victim of being too busy. Traveling for work and a quick weekend trip meant I wasn't really able to follow my normal exercise routine for a few days. Hosted a few get togethers that resulted in probably too much eating and certainly more alcohol consumption than normal. Work has been very busy with lots of late nights trying to prepare for end of year reviews and budget. Finally my husband and I found a house outside of the city that we are very interested in. It's been on the market for a while so we are working with our realtors to get ready to try to make an offer contingent on selling our home. Which means I am frantically trying to get the house ready for sale. De-cluttering and cleaning and touching up. Things like re-caulking showers and touching up cabinets (myself) and repairing some carpet (hired a professional) and right now the carpets are being cleaned. It's been exhausting. The house in general is in good shape and generally clean, but we want to really make it shine before we take photos and list. Needless to say I'm stressed out and tired. And of course there's staging and the inevitable dread-inducing showings where we'll be frantically scrambling to vacuum up dog hair, hide toothbrushes, and generally make the place look like a showroom. In the meantime, I will get whatever exercise I can and eat the best I am able at this time. With some luck I won't set myself back too far. I am doing better than I have most years at recognizing when my pants feel a little more snug than usual and doing something about it, rather than just ignoring it until it becomes a problem....See MoreRelated Professionals
