OH Mags I came right over to read what happened to u. I'm so sorry, u'd better stay put and maybe ice every 20 minutes or so to help with the swelling. It's hell to fall and then get up, so I think u should keep u'r leg up especially.
Bippy it's so nice to read how nice u'r DH is what a great help that is for u.
Mo I'm gad u r really going to change Drs. Jazzy always has great advice, she's very organized, just get away from that whole group.
Teka funny pics--u've always been so funny to me. From day 1
Jazzy I admire u for u'r energy and organization u r one true Lady and very independent too.
Lily please don't ever feel like u'r not contributing, u certainly did today. I know we all wish we can somehow help u, but we don't know how. Except come here as often as u can jst to tell us how u'r doing--U'r the one that it's about so we have to try and help in any way possible. Talk as much as u want to maybe somehow just writing things down can help and we're here for u.
It's Halloween --oh goody. Joey is going as a vampire--how original, but I love the cape and I' going to wear it for myself not as a costume but as a cape.
Sally u guys know Joey is taking clarinet lessons, (oy vey) Comes to mind the movie The good, bad and ugly---the good is he does his practicing, the bad is he thinks he's good and the ugly is he does his practicing. When the pets put their little paws over their ears what can u say?

Hi ladies- back from personal training and end of month #2. Some very positive results to share. When I began in early Sept, my body fat around my organs was over 50% (not good). I have dropped to 40% as of this morning's measurements (25% loss!) as we have focused on burning the fat and building the muscle. I have also lost 5 inches around my waist. Now we are focusing on burning the fat for me to get the excess weight off. My goal is to get my % body fat to the low 30s and my waistline closer to 35. Thirties are the magical numbers.
I am very pleased with this training and getting that fat off around my organs will help keep my bc risk down as well as cardiovascular disease. I plan to continue with this until end of December until I am further along with where I want to be. I am retraining myself how to exercise better for optimal health.
Mags- so sorry about the fall and take it easy today and ice that knee bump. You have had a time of it lately.
Bippy- that is a cute picture.
Mommy- congrats on the other tests.
Cami- can you post a picture of Joey in his vampire costume? Thank you for your compliments, I am appointing you president of my fan club!
Teka- I saw that cute picture on FB today too!
Gotta get on a call. My halloweeny is busy.

Well I'm in the recliner with ice on the knee and a cup of coffee. The good news is cousin does not need to go to the church. She was going to be helping with the flowers and I told her, don't do it! She just laughed at me. I said, well, take DH's buckskin gloves! We can't have you bleeding all over the flowers! But she doesn't have to go and I'm relieved. AAA came and now she's off to get the tire fixed. Oh dear, what trouble can she get into now?

Cami- thanks for the supportive words. I am glad Joey had a good time. A smiling vampire........
Onco- snow already. What a lovely poem.
Mags- you sound like you are just where you need to be. You are very fortunate to have the cousin who is helping you through this. Your angel.
Just came back from a really needed massage. My body has been sore from the work outs, travel, and you know, life in general. I feel much better and going to hang out at home tonight and hide from the trick or treaters. I saw some out early here on my drive in too. We have about another 90 minutes here before we go dark for the evening.

Teka- I started doing that and may need to do more this weekend. It is going to cool down further now. Geraniums coming in this weekend.

You are going to like this. Some folks I work with at the hospital client dressed up and went to the children's ward today where many children are facing serious illnesses, including the one little tyke in this photo. It just warms my heart so to see this.

I crashed after a very delicious massage mid afternoon and slept my way right through Halloween night. I woke up for a bit, and now there are t-storms going on out there making it noisy tonight. I heard we might get some storms as a cold front is coming through this weekend.
Hope everyone else is having a peaceful sleep tonight.

Good morning hermits. I hope everyone had a good (or quiet) Halloween. Into November we go. I must go to early voting today which ends today....

I early voted today, and ordered my turkey for Thanksgiving too. How about that for a good start to November?

That's a great start Jazzy!
Having a kind of sad day today, its the 11th anniversary of the death of my maternal grandma. She would have been 98 this year, still miss her even to this day. She was the one who told everyone of us: "never go to bed angry at the ones we love and to always say I love you as you never know what is going to happen". She also told us that in times when life gets hard that "God gives you only what he thinks you can handle".

Mommy- I am sorry today is a sad day. Your maternal grandmother sounds like she was a special woman filled with lots of wisdom.
I am with you with thinking about those that have gone before. Today is All Saints Day/Dia Dos Muertos in Mexico (and that is big here too). My thoughts this weekend are on my father who passed away on 11/3 15 years ago. He was sick for a very long time before that (early onset Alsheimers), so I felt like I lost him many years before that. We had a special relationship and I do miss him. He would have been 92 this year.
Hope everyone else had a relaxing Saturday.

Grams was very wise. She made all of us kids handmade stuff when we were younger! She made a baby blanket and a couple of other things when I was born.

Hi hermits- I was out early today to Sam's Club and another store and hate to tell you this, but the holiday shopping is in full swing already. Sam's was mobbed at 10 a.m. when they opened, and Kohls was busy too. Holiday music everywhere. Glad I got my supplies and now home roasting a small turkey breast and going to be indoors until I go to the gym later. The weather has changed here and it is raining and blustery.
Teka- stay warm! Do you have a fireplace?
Blondie- I like that you lurk......
Mommy- I hope you are feeling okay today.
Got some things to get to this afternoon but just wanted to wish everyone a good day today.

good lawd not yet......I do hate shopping anywhere this time of year, It gets so nutty. We are getting a tree though, which we do not always do... sort of scroogelike normally. But...makin an exception this year

Bippy- I have most of my shopping I already done. I don't buy many gifts anymore, what I do get I buy along the way during the year and do a bit of on line stuff (Harry and David mostly). Going to wait until Thanksgiving weekend or cyber Monday for those smokin' hot discounts. Otherwise, I stay out of the stores. I was surprised to see what was happening today- so early.
Been raining here all day and I made a small turkey from the place where I ordered a large fresh hen for Thanskgiving. Pretty tasty and now I have something to eat on this week!
Must go to the gym before the end of the day even though I don't feel like it. My reward is sitting in the hot tub at the end, which my body really needs today.
Have a good week hermits. Wishing those not feeling well feel better.

Hi all ... just got back from a chilly but sunny 20 minute walk. I hope everyone has a good week. Getting my bulbs, crocus and two kinds of daffodil, planted in three barrels out front makes me feel good. Last year my bulbs rotted in the ground. I guess I watered over zealously. This year I am going to be very careful.

Sally- sounds like a nice day outside. I planted some iris roots late summer as provided to me by my painter when she was here, and hope they come back in the spring. I have never had good luck with bulb type things here in the desert, did better with those back east. I hope your bulbs do well this winter, and don't get too wet. Do you get a lot of rain in the winter?
We are getting a nice soaking rain today. Temps dipping down into the 30's tonight and think we might get a freeze.
Hope everyone has sweet dreams.

Jazzy, this high desert usually does not get a lot of snow and very little rain in the winter. We do get all four seasons.

Sally- you are much like us here in NM! I have been to Reno, once but never spent much time there.
