Carolyn we just watched the Diplomat. its DH's favorite series. I enjoyed it a lot too. we had watched seasons 1and 2 long ago and rewatched #2 and then #3. Loved it!. I swear all the good scriptwriters have gone to series now. you can easily watch Diplomat twice and pick up things you...

we did a park walk this morning, several miles and 1 hr 17 minutes. therapy later. as much as i dislike it, dvds are getting phased out . we have a lot of them and use them often because what we want to watch is not necessarily available streaming. cant stream in our workout room. we...

I use the paper calendars for a lot of things i dont clutter a pocket calendar with. like the trash pick up schedule. they take recycle every other week unless there are weather interruptions or holidays and then the day and week might change. we need to get the containers ut early, usually...

we ended up with a lot of deck space our house is on a slope. it ended up that was what was needed to reach the ground on one side of the house. we are tired of cleaning and staining its wet here more than half the year and synthetics are less hassle than wood. . most is> 25 years...

been busy this week. we are lining up a contractor to replace our old decking. we are replacing wood with a synthetic, not trex but similar. need to do railings too. there are 3. 2 we use all the time, one that is never used but is falling apart. its expensive. we want to enjoy it...

i had some medical appts yesterday plus other errands. therapy only but x 3 during the day. this office does (ablations) injections to reduce the nerve pinching that causes the back discomfort. i get itching in the same area so the consensus is muscles try to balance each other, but...

We did a "real" hike today in the mountains. its been snowy until the last few days when it got quite warm. it was 60 degrees. we started in snowy/icy muddy conditions. got to the top, took us 4.5 hours up and back down. it was the first significant hike for DH's knee and my cranky back...

did x train bi's and tri's today along with therapy. sunny and 55, cant complain. hoping to do a real hike tomorrow in the mountains. long time since weve been able to.

i did 35 on the treadmill yesterday along with therapy and a group of tri/bi exercises. hi janey! welcome. i'm homing in on 77 soon and definitely have joint issues. osteoarthritis and some other connective tissue disorder that doesnt show up in testing. needed a spinal fusion due to...

I have ridden my mt bike quite a few times since spring, but riding around the neighborhood on pavement is not like ridingmuch rougher conditions. DH has done the same. the bikes are heavier and not geared for speed and lightness. the tree farm closes most of october and we didnt ride...

we did a mountain bike this morning, first since spring. it felt hard but we did it. 90 minutes. road riding is less fun with wind chill as it gets colder and the trail gets messy. this is more challenging than road riding, with the rougher surface and hills plus the bikes weigh 3x as...

I did a 35 min spin yesterday afternoon. this morning we did our usual park walk for 75 minutes. grocery shopping on the way home. we had dinner with friends yesterday, the ones with the dog we picked up in missoula. hes such a cute dog but a real handful! still a puppy. great...

I get enough exposure to port a potties on our regular bike trail. sitting right out in the sun. and also briefly on mountain passes for truckers chaining up. . oh my. Im not very "delicate" but they stretch tolerance. Do these people not care at all? if you can write your name in...

hopefully this is not TMI. after decades of hiking/ backpacking, i can pee anywhere. often a need long before the car needs gas. cars go a long time on a full tank, longer than i go. i start the day with least 50 oz of liquid. if a rest area is closed or not available, you can...

we plan our drive ahead. get things loaded the night before. we have food for the drive made and ready. Im not a fast food person, that stuff is awful! you're right, easy to get dehydrated. i drink a lot of water while we drive but i time it so pee stops work for us. we know where they...

Carolyn i would guess every state has a different program. find something close by. we just lost a whole lot of pharmacies here due to the loss of Rite Aid. I need to look for a place myself. it's like finding a store that accepts full sharps containers. not everyone. ETA I looked up...

Diane sue you had mentioned a few posts ago about getting rid of old medications. i dont know if all states have this service, but in WA we have a 'take-back program '. i think its usually pharmacies. they accept unused or outdated meds. its not good to flush or send to the landfill...

we did our park walk yesterday along with therapy. unfortunately the hip issue is not gone. it developed within a few hours of the barre workout, not gradually over a long time, so think bursitis but it interferes with going uphill. im going to try to work around it and not...

did a yard walk today for a little over 30 minutes with tomorrow a longer park walk.. did all my therapy x3 today but finding i can only do one set of the bridges on the ball. more than 10 of those make my neck very unhappy. I'm going to discuss this on Wed if she wants me to continue...

i had an odd issue from that barre work yesterday. one spot in one hip feels a burning coal. not muscle but something very unhappy. . its gotten better as the day went on so i skipped any cardio and did all therapy work and stacked upper body. i must have tweaked something that...
