Re: Can we have a forum for "older" people with bc?
DH wanted to put the plants I had bought in the bed by the big rock today. He wanted me to determine where they should be placed but I was actually able to dig holes for 2 of them. We put in a total of 11 perennial plants. He wanted to wait to mulch because it was so stinking hot but there was a breeze blowing and it is expected to rain later today. So I convinced him to put the 4 bags we had left on the section where it was most bare. I weeded before he mulched.
My butterfly bush finally bit the dust so he pulled out the roots and the remaining dead wood. This area has really great soil from being mulched for many years so hopefully the plants will do well. It looks nice and we will need probably 8 more bags of mulch.
I had a horrible night between hip bursitis pain and a bout of sciatica on the left, yet again. I don't know what I did to cause a recurrence, but I finally gave up at 5 am and just read in whatever comfortable position I could stand for 20 or more minutes. Tonight I will put on a lidocaine patch on the area on my back which seems to be the origin and hope it works. I mentioned this to PT today so she took it easy on me and focused on exercises I could tolerate. I did ride the bike for 4 minutes 45 seconds though my goal for today was 5 minutes. It was tolerable and didn't aggravate my back. I do push the pedals back and forth for an additional 3 minutes and 15 seconds.
It is clouding up as I type but that is no guarantee of rain. We did have a downpour overnight and I was awake to hear it. It is 80 degrees and humid but the weather forecast for the next few days is higher temps with higher hunidity so today was the best day to tackling the gardening. I'm also doing some laundry.
Sandy, I don't know if you have a Walmart near you but their Home Sense line has some really good organizers at a better price than The Container store. It will be nice to get your home set up the way you want it.
harley07, doing a happy dance about your scan results but don't agree that it was a waste of dollars. I'd sooner a clear scan than the unknown hanging over me.
Illinoislady, glad you got some sunshine for a change.
Changed humingbird nectar finally and it has shown up to try it. It just started to rain.
Washer is calling me, so I will wish everyone a great day.

Re: I say YES. YOU say NO....Numero Tre! Enjoy!
Note here — saying the above may be made me feel better, but it really isn't going to do anything much. Only if we can take back control can we begin the long difficult process of re-installing proper procedures in our government. While it also doesn't help much I do note that many Maga are not fairing well either and that a large score of them have enough left to be angry and upset and feel cheated.
