The weight is the same 194.5 ----well, maybe it is down somewhat! If I could get to 190 I would be ecstatic-----I hoofed it to the highway this morning --That is about a 20 to 30 minute hike--AND--Tess, the German (dog) who is living on the edge right now, well, we I did a wee walk before that. She is hanging in--slowing down a lot--- but--she did sneak to the lake yesterday and jumped off the dock, and when I called her, up she came, dripping wet-- So much for all the work the groomer did!
I did get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning-- It began with Himself, the almost 93 yr old man I live with, pounding on the wall last evening, for a very silly reason. I thought he had fallen or something, but it turned out he was a tad upset because of silly reasons-- There are days that I believe he has lost his mind--and then there are days that he is Mr Wonderful----It must all go with the "aging" process! Lord love a Duck! Life certainly is different as one is living in a Pandemic--never going out to eat--never going on vacation--- watching yer pennies---- You know, I think I should write a book----We all should! --- If we survive this , it will be a miracle!-- LOLOL
Some days it is hard to keep calm just like the song Some Days are Diamonds and Some Days are Stone. Hopefully today will be a Diamond Day!
ReplyDeleteHi Madeline-- I look for yu everyday now-- and yes, some days are better than others -- I agree-- Hugs my reined-Lynda
Delete😘. Sending good thoughts!
ReplyDeleteYou know, you helped me tonight (it's night time here! I should be in bed!) realise just how lucky I am to be living in a part of Australia that's not yet as deeply touched by the pandemic as other areas. We are not in lockdown. We must wear masks, socially distance and 'check-in' to places with our phones, but we can go where we want and I had lunch with the same group of people that have been going out once a month for lunch - for several years now. This was our first in a few months because one of our members was in hospital. She's now out and it was so good to see her laughing (and hiding her head just as I was - because of something dumb her 75yr old husband was doing! It was wonderful! And I'm so grateful we could do something like go out for lunch in a time when many would love to do the same. Thank you for helping me see the good! And I hope you have a wonderful day and Himself is back to being Mr Wonderful again! ❤️
ReplyDeleteYu are in Australia?--Do yu know Nola in Australia?-- That must sound funny eh--I really know that Australia is huge---So happy yu are having a good day--and himself here, is back to his Wonderful self again--Praise the good Lord!--LOL--Hugs, Lynda
DeleteGood morning Lynda! I've been having problems commenting on your blogs this week 🙃 I'm using my Android phone...after typing my comments, they just disappear. Hopefully this will get through. Happy to hear you are keeping your weight steady. As far as Spark goes, don't miss it at all. I'm using MyFitnessPal and doing good. Like you, I have much more time in my day to work on projects. Have a great day ❤🍂
ReplyDeleteLilian--- Willow, just above yer comment, said how she comments----She says. where it says "Google Account", and an arrow beside it, click on the arrow--then select "profiles"--Use yer name line and then put in yer "User name" --like Lilllann400"--Now click "Publish"--Yu will see a box that says, "I am, not a robot "----Clickl there--then click -"publish"

If it would help anyone to reply to your blog, one of the readers helped me so I am now able to comment. I do it from my computer so I don't know if that will help those who want to use their cellphone or tablet. I just enter my comment, then where it says Google account and an arrow beside it, just click on the arrow to select profile. I use the name line and put in my user name, "Willow". Now click on publish. You will see a box that says "I am not a robot. Just click on there and then click publish again. And voila. Here I am.
ReplyDeleteWillow yu are a Gem to help people out-- Thank yu so much! --- And thank yu for being here!-Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda Like the comment above I have had a few comments disappear and that's on a laptop. But at least I can read your blog! Maybe Tess really like the groomer and wants to go back. Haha. Aren't your restaurants open now? Ours are in Toronto. So get himself to take you out for a change! The lake still looks very nice. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteYes, our restaurants are open but we do not go in--- The Covid counts are high here-altho we have had 2 vaccines.-- Tess is still with us--
DeleteEven the Queen has troubles with her relatives!
ReplyDeleteA lot of how to comment depends on how you navigated to the blog to begin with. If you don't immediately see a comment entry box at the bottom, you need to click on the link that says "x comments" to get it to open. If you had to do this, you'll need to scroll up to the comment box.
Type your comment, then when you are happy with it, click on the "Publish" button.
Barb thank yu so much--Ill write that down too-- to tell people-- Lynda
DeleteLove that Keep Clam and act as if everything is normal. With numbers rising here decided to stay home instead of short trip this long weekend. It is hard to continue with all these restrictions but try to remind myself that so many others have it worse! Gratitude is the attitude I need to have!
ReplyDeleteHey there from Colorado....funny, I woke in a bad mood today...luckily it didn't last. A good cup of coffee helps..a nice day weather wise but it will get back to HOT again and I am not happy. Hang in there with that husband of yours...and I will do the same. HUGS
ReplyDeleteI don't think she has a grandson that is that thoughtful to cut her grass, cause then what about the 15 or 20 gardeners that she had on her payroll? Just enjoy life as it is it is all we can do.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad your husband gives you "entertainment" in the middle of the night. Just think that might be us one day and of course we won't know it but others will.
ReplyDeleteI have found I have so much extra time now that I am not on Sparks and I really don't miss it. I would really miss it if I haven't figured out how to keep in touch with people.
When you said would we survive this pandemic the thought that came into my mind is YES WE WILL. If our ancestors could drive across the country in a covered wagon we can survive this pandemic!!! I think.... no we can we have survived for over a year. We have learned how to cope with so many things that I don't think we realized how much we have survived. We should be proud of ourselves.
Can you imagine what the Queen's life is really like. She is constantly having people watch and judge her. She has to made BIG decisions. When her family messes up the whole world knows about it. She is under a microscope all the time. No thank you. I like my dull ordinary life. I give myself enough excitement by the dumb things I do at times!!!
Have a restful week-end. Those in the US happy labor day week-end. Stay safe and healthy
Oh I worry a bit about that husband of yours... My grandsons have been keeping us extra busy here, so I don't even get a minute to read your notes every day, but try to catch up...and when I do get to read, I don't always get a chance to respond. Oh well, oh well, as Watermelon would say. Anyway, know you are never alone! We just finished our 4 mile walk (and I am blistered again-darn shoes!), and we're expecting grandsons for an overnight, so much to do before they arrive! Keep hoofing!
ReplyDeleteHUGS from hot and humid Central Texas. 101 Fahrenheit here today which feels like 110 with the Heat Index. Grateful for central air conditioning. Sure would be nice to have a beautiful lake to jump into to cool down.
ReplyDeleteI have an image on my phone that I read often: "We isolate now so when we gather again, no one is missing."
Introvert here who cherishes quiet times and does not feel lonely when alone. Extrovert spouse and 2 of 4 siblings not dealing as well with pandemic restrictions.
Congratulations on maintaining your position in Onederland.
Okay, going to try the hints above.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are maintaining!
It is sad to watch a furbaby slow down.
We have an 11year old cat who thinks he
is 2. Hope he slows down here soon!!
Good to see you here. I find you on Facebook, click on your post that has your blogspot address in it, and you are quickly there. Glad Tess still is trying. And you are walking every day. I still have not gone inside any store, since Feb., 2020. Groceries delivered. No eating out, Lordy NO! Not in Texas, land of Neanderthals, especially the males.
ReplyDeleteOh my. sometimes himselfs really do get worked up about the most sily things. I think to myself, wow! They didn't spend a lotta time @ home tending to toddlers! Or teens. OF course they have to work. But I think they might view thigs differently if roles were reversed. Oh well, Just my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteHUGS and thank goodness for miracles like your Ethan cutting the grass for you. Wonderful.
Here's to a good weekend.
hUGS
Lynda, all I did was go to the bottom where it says 'comments.' It led me through the steps. Hope it works for whomever. Glad you are all ok. Himself gets crabby...well, I guess we all do. (except you ;-) {{{HUGS}}}
ReplyDeletebmosko (Beth) here. Take heart. You aren't the only one who has to deal with the silly things that upset our men. I think it is part of their getting older. Gratefully, it doesn't happen often in my house and I have learned to go on as though it never happened.
ReplyDeleteI also want to tell you that I do enjoy your blogs very much and look forward to them every day.
My workplace blocks my ability to comment 😭
ReplyDeleteGrateful that you’re posting, Tess is still hoofing with you, grandson is helping out.
Hugs and love, Ace ❤️
Another busy day today so just got to your blog. So happy that Tess is hanging in and that you are doing well with your weight loss. I like the myfitnesspal site which is a help with counting calories and exercise. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! 👍 💐
ReplyDeleteLynda, thank you and Willow for your help! So happy to be in touch with you still 🤗
ReplyDeleteI had help finding you, Lynda. I don't miss SP, but I DO miss my group and you. The rest isn't unique--there are other sites for tracking food and exercise, and tons of articles everywhere...It's the PEOPLE I miss.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your blog. It inspires me. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should just let Tess play in the water every day it's warm enough, if she likes it! = )
ReplyDeleteI'm late to the party, catching up reading blogs today. Yay for Tess, hanging in and feeling naughty enough to jump in the lake!
ReplyDeleteI don't miss Spark, really, except for the convenience factor of logging and blogging all in one place. I just log on MFP, and post blogs here. I pretty much still see the blogs I read over there. So glad you're still blogging.
((hugs)) I hope today is a better day for your DH.
ReplyDeletei think living with a retired Himself is difficult for us all. no wonder our weight doesn't want to go away.
ReplyDeletelife without Spark is hard. I can do the Spark360, but it isn't the same without lovely people like yourself inspiring us to be good and to focus one mouthful at a time.
