Karen: Push hard for a surgeon referral. I'm sure your dd can't wait to see you and give you a big hug. A week off from work with your granddaughter sounds perfect for you.
homemom: Good to see you again.
Ruth: I forgot all about getting Christmas cards. Thanks for the reminder.
Walked with a friend today then some more on my own. I thought I would be raking leaves but the nurse who put on my heart monitor said not to rake while wearing it. So, dh has been raking and blowing leaves. The problem is that he likes to rake when he feels like raking and I want to rake and get it done. 40 years of marriage and some things never change!

50 minutes of push mowing and 40 minutes of hauling leaves to the front.

Yoga, danced around to Marshall Fitness, more leave raking & hauling for me too!

Wonder - i'm off this week for Thanksgiving week. DD and grand daughter arrive on December 6th. I will call in sick the day after she arrives. then I'm off on Friday and we have the weekend. Might also call in Monday and she leaves Tuesday morning. We got a great fare!
A friend of DD#2 will be in Denver in 2 week so she is going to stay with us. She has a conference. Have not met this friend before. She also lives in Israel.
Need to be busy this week - putter in the house as I'm really stressed about the endocrinologist appointment on Wednesday. I go bac and forth whether it will be good or have to fight for what i want/need.
Sweet dreams

Fingers crossed for your appointment, Karen. I hope it doesn't have to be a big fight; but if so, stand your ground!
I cleaned the garage, did some light cleaning & went to Yoga today. The reason my cleaning was 'light' is because DS & wife are celebrating Thanksgiving Day with us, but celebrating with her family on Saturday…..with us babysitting the dogs. I will do the 'real' cleaning after they all leave!!

Was going to work out on the bike but got side tracked as I started doing a small bit of decorating for Christmas. It was numerous treks between where we had the decorations and our yard where we started.

Zumba this morning, Pound tonight. In between, I had a haircut, a meeting, and did some more shopping….'tis the season!

Karen: So glad that you have this week off. And extremely happy that you will get to visit with your dd and granddaughter in December.
M0mmy: Good to see you again!
Ruth: I'm going to clean tomorrow.
Yesterday I mowed for an hour. Today I worked in the yard for over 2 hours, mainly hauling leaves from the backyard to the curb.

Im on a Abemaciclib - newly indicated for me - 3rd week - and its been fine for the most part - but very low WBC/neutrophils…and lowered kidney function based on blood tests…so the worry and the doctors visits/blood tests during the last 10 days threw my exercise honestly…it felt like I was a bit paralyzed and unable to focus on it…so I am back starting today …and I am going to try to get into painting as well - I set up my easel
Next blood work is Thursday and I see my oncologist on Friday
I hope all is well with each of you

Bluebird, I had to look up Abemaciclib. Can it cause low WBC & lowered kidney function? Hope you have a productive meeting with your oncologist Friday.
To get ready for all the Thanksgiving eating, I went to Pound, Zumba AND Yoga today.

@ruthbru yes it likely did lower the immune system and perhaps affected the kidney - had to pause my vitamin C infusions just in case because I have an issue with oxalates - and the situation can create kidney issues…hoping everything evens out soon - I was surprised by how much anxiety and inability to focus it caused - need to focus on exercise instead!
Happy American Thanksgiving!

Here's the Wednesday Women. Small group because people are getting ready to host or are on the road. We look cold, but there was no wind so by the time we were halfway through; I had my hat & gloves off and my coat unzipped. Happy American Thanksgiving to All! I am hosting tomorrow so better get to work!!

Small group Ruth!
Met with the endocrinologist this afternoon. She is giving me a referral to a general surgeon. I didn't feel any warm fuzzies with her and not convinced that she thinks the surgeon will see this as a good referral. I'm happy with the referral as that is what I wanted but now anxious till I have an appointment with surgeon.
Gorgeous 50+F degree weather with nice sunny skies. But the weather is changing. Dropping 20 degrees tomorrow and again on Friday. Saturday morning will be in the teens and snow the next couple days.
Bagged more leaves - our neighbor has a beautiful oak tree and most of the leaves in our yard are from his tree. At least 25 bags over the past week or so. The size smaller than lawn and leaf bags. Will use the blower tomorrow morning to blow the rest into the street then bag them.

bluebird: Goodness, I hope the Abemaciclib eases up on the side effects. Glad your have an appointment with your oncologist on Friday.
Karen: Hope you can get the surgeon appointment soon. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. We don't have to bag our leaves as some city require their residents to do. I can't imagine bagging all the leaves that we have raked up this year.
Ruth: Have fun hosting tomorrow.
Yesterday I cleaned house and today I've been cooking. We will be going to my sister's who lives an hour away for Thanksgiving. There will be 17 (one is a baby and another is 2) of us - my sisters and brother and their families. Makes my heart sing!

Getting my exercise with all the prep work and turkey basting!

Nice Thanksgiving dinner with our son. Turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, pecan and pumpkin pie - all made from scratch except the pie crusts. DH said he didn't want green bean casserole as he doesn't like it - but when he saw he he was happy that I made it. We will finish the food tonight for Shabbat dinner - need to make green bean casserole and will make another veggie. I cut the turkey in half (12.5#), cooked the two halves then froze one right away for another time. I kept a slice of each pie and send the rest home with my son. He happily takes my baked goods but rarely takes other food as he never knows what he wants to eat and he works 12+ hour days.
17 degrees this morning with a high of 25 - cloudy and light snow. I was supposed to meet a friend at 10:00 to walk but she just texted to see if we can walk next week instead.
My week off has come to an end and I didn't do any work for work, even the stuff I thought I might do!! Oh well, it will still be there on Monday.
Off to TJ's and the grocery store this morning. Then I'm going to see if I can get a mani.
Have a great Friday. No Black Friday shopping unless it's online.

We had a very nice Thanksgiving with the same menu as Karen; except for dessert. DS's friend (who is from Canada, bluebird) offered to bring the dessert & she brought pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. After we ate, we played board games for the rest of the day. Since we are all 'dog people', the dogs all came along and were surprisingly good. Bruno was so tired after they left, he conked out & was actually snoring. It's 8:30 in the morning & he's still asleep!
I am sure we will go for a walk & I need to do some toning today. We'll have a couple days of leftovers, so no cooking for me!
Here's the cupcakes:

Exercise for today was taking down Thanksgiving decorations and start putting up Christmas stuff outside. Almost done with that then its work on the inside and put the tree up to decorate. All in a weekend’s work.
0 -
We have the outside decorated, but not the inside. This morning I went to Yoga & walked around the indoor track (it's cold here today). DS & DIL brought their puppies over for us to babysit while they celebrate Thanksgiving with her family (who live about an hour away)....so it's an Animal House around here!

Outside is officially decorated. Now its getting the inside decorated.

Danced for 30 minutes with Marshall Fitness & am soon off to a Pound/Barre class. I am also in the process of doing laundry and cleaning the house.

Sounds like everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I did also but as usual ate way too much. And I haven't been exercising so I better get back to it asap!
Mice have been getting in the house and had a feast on the bird sunflower seed package that was inadvertently left out in the garage. Found the mess this week. Mice are not cute to me and I'm getting paranoid. One of our cats is a fantastic mouser, thank goodness. Plus, we have routine pest control services and fortunately the technician came by Friday for a regular visit. We have never had them put out mice bait before but he did this time! Need to empty the garage, clean it good, and store things properly for winter. I do it every fall after the leaves are raked but haven't had the time to do it yet.

Mice? Eeekk!
I went to Zumba this morning & may go to Pound tonight. Tomorrow I will be up at about 4:30 am. DH & I are going on a 'Christmas in Branson' tour as our Christmas present to each other & we have to catch a bus at 6am. We'll be back late Saturday, so it will be short & sweet!

Wow look at those beautiful cupcakes! (Canada eh!)
This week I found balance again after being unable to focus…happy to report 30 min weights plus 30 min aerobic each day and some Nidra yoga to help calm
we have a blanket of snow here - waiting for a couple of expected warmer days this week to finish the Christmas decorations outside and probably organize the shed for winter …sending out the holiday packages early this year so that we can reclaim the storage space… Aspen, wee Maria and Moku say "Hi"

I love Yoga Nidra! When I go to the Sunday class, the teacher ends with about 15 minutes of Nidra. Hi to the puppies. I hope mine is doing okay with the dogsitter! We spent the whole day on the bus (literally....6am to 6pm) & still have half a day more as we don't pull into Branson until after lunch. DH & I walked on the treadmills at the hotel for awhile just to get uncrinked!

You are truly an inspiration @ruthbru- I love that you find take every opportunity to move! Hope that you both had a great time!

We are back in the bus. We should be in Branson early afternoon (It is a long way!! I already read one book & am halfway through another). Once we arrive: we'll check into our hotel, and go on a dinner cruise (with entertainment), and end the evening with the Presley Family Christmas show. I don't see much of a window for exercise today!
