I went to Yoga, on a Dog Walk & cleaned the house. Tonight we are going out for dinner with DS & DIL who celebrate their 1st Wedding Anniversary on Monday.

I've been reading but not posting.
Karen: Hope your PT is going well. Your foot looks so good!
Ruth: That was really nice that you and dh were invited to the Athletic Hall of Fame banquet. I bet you knew many of the people getting inducted.
We were very fortunate not to be seriously affected by hurricane Helene. The destruction in the NC mountains is devastating. Dh and I lived in the mountains for 6 years and they had terrible flooding. It's just heartbreaking.
Went to visit ds and his partner yesterday. Baby is due in 21 days!
Dh went to the doctor on Thursday for his back. After his examination, the doctor is confident it is not a vertebrae, disc, spinal cord, or nerve issue. None of those are compromised. It's a strain/sprain of the S1 joint and he might have ripped his butt muscle. Dh was given 2 steroid shots. It's going to take time but the doctor assured me dh will heal.
I've been painting pumpkins and I will post some of them.

I painted this one for ds, partner, and baby.

I painted this one for an older friend who broke her hip the other week. She had surgery and is now in a nursing home for a few weeks. She wants to go home and misses her cats (they have 6). She really misses her big orange cat so that's why the cat is so much bigger than the black one.

Dd's cat is HUGE and loves to eat. Dd has a feeder that's set on a timer and the cat will sit by it waiting for the next time it drops food. I painted the cat Trick or Treating at a haunted house and of course her costume is something edible.

This next one will not make any sense unless you're a Harry Potter fan. I painted it for a friend who loves owls and is also a HP fan. This is Halloween at Hogwarts. Hedwig the owl is dressed up like Harry Potter. The school has many spiders and this one is hanging off the whomping willow and is dressed up like Dumbledore.

You are SO creative, Wonderland!! Glad DH's back is something that will heal without a surgery! So tragic about the Asheville area. It's just amazingly horrible (I am watching a story about in on CNN right now).
I went on a walk yesterday. Today I went to Zumba & will go to HIT. Tonight we will babysit the grand-dogs while their 'parents' go out on a date to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.

Rosh Hashanna starts tomorrow night. Most of my cooking is done except for vegetables. I started cooking about 1 1/2 weeks ago. I was talking to a neighbor the other day and asked if she was going to her daughter and she said her daughter doesn't do anything. So she is joining us tomorrow night. Still it will be a small group, the family is 4 (DH,DS,DD#2, me) and my neighbor makes 5.
The devastation from Helene is just heart breaking. So much damage.
Today was my first day back at work since August 29th. My foot is healing how it is supposed to, but still swollen and sore at times. I got out of the boot on Thursday and can manage to get my running shoes on if I loosen all the laces. I'm going to PT twice/weekly for 1 - 2 months.
Yesterday my DD#2 and DH went hiking to one of their favorite places. The Aspen colors were awesome. I'll try to post a few pictures.
Look what I did yesterday!!! Something I've been wanting to do for over a year. One of my gf when I sent her the picture said I'm "colorful"
I may check in before work tomorrow, but otherwise I won't be online till at least not until Saturday night.

Cute picture of you, Karen, 'colorful' looks good on you! And of the beautiful fall scenery too. Keep your foot up as much as possible!!
We did our first round of raking today & picked up a bunch of branches (from two days of 55 mph winds!). I went to both Barre & Yoga tonight (one of my favorite yoga teachers is moving away so I'm trying to catch as many of her classes as I can before she goes).

The Wednesday Walking Women had a fun adventure at a pumpkin patch this morning!

Karen: Love it! Very colorful.
Ruth: Pumpkin patches and hayrides are so fun!
It's been hot, humid, and high dew points so I've been taking it easy. Got my flu shot yesterday and still need to get my COVID, rsv, and tdap vaccines before the grandbaby is born.
Painted a few more pumpkins. I've painted 9 and have 1 more to go.

Took Nugget to our property and walked him around where the house will go next year. Going to start breaking out the Fall/Winter clothes in a bit.

It feels like fall here too. I went to HIT this morning & will go back for Dance2fit tonight.

Still hot and humid. The weatherperson says it will change next week.
Walked a little today.

DH & I went and got our flu & Covid shots this morning. Nice to get those off our list. We will go for a dog walk shortly.

Love the pumpkins Wonderland.
Nice shot of the WWW and the pumpkin patch. Good work on getting your flu and covid shots.
Later today I bring my mom (her first trip out of assisted living) to the Dr for her flu shot…she spaces her out two weeks apart. I'll get mine both next week…two weeks before I attend a conference with 1000+ people.
Got to the gym 3 times this week…making my way back slowly.
Happy weekend everyone! TT

I haven't been doing much except hanging around the house with dh. He tells me he's getting better but it sure doesn't look like it to me. He can't help much with household chores so I'm doing them all. I'm not complaining bc he has been there for me in my hour of need. I just want him to feel good and be able to move like he did before hurting his back.
NC mountains are receiving lots of donations and help. There will be areas that will never be the same. 2 major universities are still out of class. Towns gone. Some Cities/towns with water treatment plants are still out of potable water bc of damage to the plants or distribution pipes. Many people are unaccounted for. So many hollars and back roads destroyed. We lived in the mountains for 6 years many years ago and I wonder if the house we owned then is still standing or damaged in some way. And now another hurricane has formed and hitting FL again. Sigh.
Good news is that the weather is supposed to be cooler and less humid tomorrow. I will outside (hopefully) pulling weeds, trimming etc areas that haven't been touched since dh hurt his back. I've been looking forward to it bc some of the bushes looked awful.

Meant to add that I also got my dtap shot. Ds and partner want us to get the flu, COVID, dtap, and rsv shots bc of the baby. Wish they had voiced this earlier. Got my flu shot last week, dtap on Saturday. Will probably get the rsv later this week or weekend. Then I will only need the COVID shot. Last October I took the flu and Covid shots at the same time. 2 weeks later I started having afib episodes. In my head I have blamed it on taking the 2 shots at the same time. That's what I think and I'm sticking with it lol. That's why I'm waiting to take the covid one last.

When does DH get an MRI, Wonderland? If one has not yet been scheduled, be the squeaky wheel!!
0 -
Dh has to finish the PT first before discussing MRI. He goes one more time this week and one time next week. I will definitely try to be the squeaky wheel after that!
What a difference a day makes. The weather was in the 70s and the dew point was in the lower 50s. I got to trim and pull weeds for hours and it felt great. Plus the areas I worked in look great as they were really bothering me. There are other areas (there are always other areas lol) but I'm very happy with my results today.
I also had a short visit with a friend and her dh. He had a knee replacement and she's been taking care of him. I was able to bring her pumpkin to her that I painted for her birthday. She loves Harry Potter and owls so I painted the Halloween at Hogwarts pumpkin for her.

I went to Barre & tried a kettleball class, which I did NOT enjoy! I think it's for people about 30 years younger than me!

Every year a family in town turns their lawn into a 'haunted graveyard' (with freewill donations to the local food pantry accepted). So that was today's destination for the Wednesday Walking Women.

There is so much Fun and Spooky all together in that picture. Love it!
Walked this afternoon then had an hour and a half zoom meeting.

Autumn arrived this week and I am so happy. It's my favorite season. The temperature today was 70 degrees and the dew point was in the 40s. The temperature will be in the 40s tonight so a few minutes ago I turned on the heat for the first time. 5 days ago the air conditioner was needed.
Walked earlier and then went to Walgreens to get my rsv vaccine today.
Also stopped at the library to pick up The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Had never read it but have been in the area in New York. Perfect day to sit outside and read a classic tale near Halloween.

I talked to my sister today & she is also enjoying the cooler weather! It was nice here too. I went to the pilates/stretch class, cleaned the house & went on a dog walk.
