Wonderland I too suffer from some lymphedema and I think you were smart to get the antibiotics for your arm. I am enjoying reading about little Iris Ann. She is such a pretty kitty. I do think you will miss her but what a fun experience to see how she navigates her world.
I walked for an hour with DH tonight and it felt good. I line danced 10 days at the state fair and I was really wiped out from all the walking and dancing as the weather was very hot and humid most days. But it was sure fun. But three days of rest and it was time to get back to walking and riding my bike. The change up in my exercise routine for the fair was a nice break from the daily cardio.

Line dancing at a fair sounds very fun, coffeelatte. Worth being tired out afterwards!
DH, I & Bruno did some fun hiking today.

Ruth - love the picture of Bruno in the water
Petite - ya for good news.
Lattee - I've never lined danced - I"m not a good dancer of any kind.
I know I'm missing many, but with the new page, I don't remember what I read.
Have a great week-end

I went to Yoga Strength yesterday morning & will do a Reset Yoga tonight. It is a rainy day (which is good, we really need some moisture so I danced around to Marshall Fitness on Utube for awhile.

I donated blood this morning and I've been exhausted all day. Struggled to stay awake after dinner - now I'm wide awake.
I've been much more tried since the school years started back. Don't remember being so tired in years past. Still managed 2 walks today (13K steps)Looking forward to the long week-end. We are going to the mountains for our 45th wedding anniversary to do some hiking.
Have a great week.

Happy Anniversary this coming weekend, Karen. 45 years is amazing!
I have not been walking. Hot August Days make me miserable so I'm lying low. Little Iris Ann will be going home either Wednesday or Thursday this week. My arm is healing but looks a mess. She fell asleep on my lap this evening and it was so relaxing for me.

Happy Anniversary, Karen & DH!!!
Yikes on the arm, Wonderland & Boo on your weather!
I went to Pound yesterday & will do Zumba tonight. I have a haircut this morning & then DH, Bruno & I are going hiking in a nearby State Park. We are having lovely weather so are taking advantage of it while it lasts!

HOT, HOT and HOT with no moisture in sight. In the next week the lowest high is 89F
I'm so tired at the end of the work day.

I know how you feel, Karen. The heat and dew point have been so bad. But, it rained this afternoon and the weatherperson promises that the dew point will be in the 50s as opposed to the high 60s, mid 70s we have been having. Looking forward to walking again.
Found out today that we are keeping Iris Ann until next Tuesday. She's so sweet!

Ruth, what a gorgeous place to hike. Doesn't it feel great to walk in nature with such beauty all around you like that? What a great exercise day!

Dd and I went to the baker this morning to pick out desserts for her wedding on October 1 (almost a month away!). She only wanted a small cake for the 2 of them. We decided on apple cider cupcakes, cookies and cream cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and pumpkin gooey bars for the guests. I'm gaining weight just typing this!
Ruth: Planning a wedding is a lot of work! Lots of details. Have your ds and future dil started any planning?
Finally walked today. It felt so good!

Had my annual audiological this afternoon. Slight changes, but things are relatively stable. My hearing aids are 5 years old so I need to get new ones. I go to Costco and they do a thorough evaluation but because of the difference in my 2 ears, I have to be seen by a doctor to rule out any problems. I've had a hearing loss in right ear all my life (or at least since 5 or 6) but it has gotten worse and left ear has declined. I commented that my hearing as gotten worse with age and due to chemo and he confirmed the side effect of chemo. We talked about cochlear implants but he doesn't think I'm a candidate. Even with my HAs, I miss stuff or don't hear correctly - on the phone today, someone told me their name, - I thought she said "Missy" but it was "Nicky". So need to schedule appointment with ENT.
Wonder - my DD#1 was only engaged for 3 months, so not too long to plan the wedding but all turned out well - she was a beautiful bride and we all had a fun time. Those deserts sound yummy. My DD didn't want a wedding cake.
Long day at work today, even though it was my regular 8 hour day - spent at least half my day with a challenging kiddo.
Ruth - pretty scenery.
Sweet dreams.

Pretty scenery always makes a walk/hike even more fun, doesn't it?! And I am a believer that spending some time outside every day (unless the weather is too horrible) is good for one's mental health as well.
Karen, my aunt, who had cochlear implants, has very mixed feeling about them.
DS & fiance just want a small cake to cut & have the rest be cupcakes, so it must be the trend (Wonderland, save me an apple cider cupcake!). They are getting this & that in place. The bridesmaids dresses will be emerald green. I believe maybe peach will be one of the accent colors. Suit color (gray) & ties are picked out. A couple who are good friends of theirs just got married & have sold them a bunch of their decorations etc. Our spare room in the basement is turning into a Wedding Room! Since they have so much time, they are having fun with it (so far anyway).
Yesterday was busy! The Wednesday Walking Women had a nice walk in a wooded area. Then DH's cousin, who lives in Montana but was home for a class reunion, stopped by on his way through town for a visit. The second he left, we went car shopping. We have been looking to trade in my car for quite awhile (it's old & has so many problems that it's not worth putting any more money into it). We were looking for a sub-compact SUV (Dog Car). Four hours later & having driven several models, we ended up with a 2022 Buick Encore. We don't get a new car very often (try once a decade), so it is pretty exciting to us! I am off to Pound in a couple minutes, Dance2fit tonight.

Hi Everyone!
Getting used to the new site. Today is my birthday, and started out with a nice row in beautiful weather on the Connecticut River with great people. So a nice way to start the day. A couple old friends are coming over for a casual supper on the deck, then perhaps a wee walk in the woods. DH made excuses not to row this morning so he could stay home and bake me a cake. Double chocolate, of course! One of the bald eagles was hunting the banks of the river this morning. Thursday evening a great blue heron did a nice loop around us showing off his beauty!
I broke a toe rather badly in June, and it still isn't quite healed. So much for keeping up my training after the Bolder Boulder on Memorial Day! Haven't been able to hike or even bike most of the summer, much less run. But think I can get back to some light hikes now (NotAsCalm: Does the hill up from the dock count as a hike??? Some days it sure feels like one!).
The week ahead looks potentially kind of wet, but given our drought (our pond is now down about 5 feet!) we sure need whatever we can get.
Hope everyone is well!

Happy Birthday, yesiamadragon!!!! Making a birthday cake is definitely a good excuse to skip exercise! Sounds like a very fun day.
We took two dog hikes yesterday and another one this morning before heading to a college football game. (It was so warm that we left after the 3rd quarter and are watching the rest of it on TV from home.) I also did a 30 minute Yoga DVD.

Happy Birthday yesiamadragon! How sweet that your dh baked your favorite cake for you. Sorry about our toe.
Ruth: Your wedding room will get fuller and fuller of things with each passing month! The colors they are chosen are going to be pretty. Congratulations on your new car!
I mentioned that litte kitty Iris Ann will be staying with us until Tuesday. Not sure but it may be longer bc my friend, her dh, and dd came back from their trip with all of them testing positive for Covid. I feel bad for them.
Walked yesterday with a friend. Walked/ran this morning.

Dh and I mowed today. My part was a little over an hour. Luckily we finished before it started raining.
My friends are still run down with Covid so we still have Iris Ann. It's amazing how she gets around. I forget at times she's blind.
Dh and I have appointments at the health department to get the new booster shot. I'm ready!

Ruth - thanks
We had a great time hiking. The weather wasn't too hot and beautiful CO blue sky. Friday hiked only a couple hours as we didn't get up there till lunch time and I was exhausted from the work week. Saturday and Sunday 3.5 hours each day - posted pictures on FB. Saturday and Sunday we got 24 or 25K steps. At home we average 12K. My weight is up a couple pounds and I thought with all the hiking, I might shed them but no such luck. Got to quit the snacking. I did pretty good at work today, but not so good tonight.
Wonder - you use a push mower, correct? That's a lot of work. You go girl!
Record high today 99F. My school district is either closing or early dismissal 20 schools W,TH, due to the high heat. High 90s till Friday. Cooler weather on Saturday, then heating up again next week.
Saw the endocrinologist today due to hyperparathyroid. She doesn't agree with my medical oncologist about only 3 years on Prolia (which I finished in April). She wants me on it for life!! She has ordered 24 hour urine which I will do Sunday as I can't do it on a work day. As long as those numbers are good, she doesn't think anything else at this time. She doesn't think Rx will work and only other option is surgery which thankfully she doesn't recommend. The office is on the other side of town from me, so DH participated by phone. She is going to see if PCP can order the Prolia and give it to me to save me going out to her twice a year. I'm going to message her through patient portal to see if that doesn't work, if she can contact my medical oncologist and share her thoughts and maybe I can continue to get it with him. My next appointment with medical oncologist is in October. Didn't know if I should laugh or cry when she commented that I have so much going on with me!!! So many things that I'm being followed for can cause high blood calcium and bone loss.
Sweet dreams and have a good Wednesday

Yuck on all the medical stuff, Karen!
It's a beautiful day here. I walked with the ladies and then walked with DH & Bruno.

Ruth - gorgeous sunrise. Bruno looks like he loves the water!
Record high again today 99F - yesterday was either 98 or 99 and same for tomorrow then a cool down for a couple days.
I didn't think I was that tired when I got home from work. DH and I went for a walk when I got home. After our walk we were watching the news and I fell asleep. I haven't done that in some time. He keeps telling me how much more tired I am this year, which is true. Last night I got into bed at 11pm and 45 minutes later I was still awake so got up and went to the living room - of course eating junk. Eventually fell asleep and woke up at 3:30am, crawled into bed until it was time to get up at 4:45am.
Wishing everyone a good Thursday.

The beginning of the school year is always exhausting & when you add the extreme heat......a double whammy.....whew! Makes me tired just reading about it!
I am going to try a new class this morning; Yoga Pilates Fusion & go to Dance2fit tonight.

Another record high today, 99! Thankfully tomorrow it will be in the 73 and Saturday 59 then warming up again to high 80s next week.
Left work absolutely mentally exhausted. Came home and took a nap for almost 1.5 hours. Now at 9 I have my second wind and wide awake. At least I don't work Fridays. I have 3 or 4 kiddos that take up a large part of my day. I think the heat today made the kids more wound up than usual.
Sweet dreams and have a great Friday
