That is great @cabmonk and @Natalka please tell me just how you did it! I need some help!

Hello, whoever you are...dr. gave me a memory test this morning.....I got a PERFECT score......he says he's never had anyone get perfect before, but he's just a young doctor. So the fact that I don't remember things is most likely caused by depression or anxiety. Also, my measure of diabetes has gone up, very minorly, but, I must admit, I haven't done anything to really change my diet, so.....let's see what I can do about that. I have all you mentors here!

Tire is on the car. Met with commitee at church-got some things accomplished. Members of other committee texting me to say, "What's going on?"

Member of Tenant's Association met me at the mailboxes to fill me in about that and my friend is waiting for me to practice some karaoke songs for her group. Have to pay income tax guy and I booked the restaurant for our "girlies" birthday lunch.

I'm laying down for a brief rest. Then have to pick up my allergy med on the way back from my friend's house.

I have no stress at ALL😂!

See y'all later!

Anxiety? Depression? Deteriorating health? Migraines?
You're putting SO MUCH pressure on yourself!

What are you running from....it seems to me whenever someone keeps themselves so busy they don't even have time to sit, relax, go for rejuvenating walks (not walk the dog in a hurry because you have to be somewhere else types of walks), I always wonder what they're running from or where they're running to?
As one of your SC "mentors", may I suggest AGAIN, that you concentrate more on yourself, and less on others for a change? Or you'll run out of gas and be a help to no one. Just think about it...you need to drop some of that stuff and make yourself a priority for a while.
I learned that lesson years ago, in fact, our DD said to me a few months ago when I mentioned I might join something..."Mom, you know you don't have to be President right away, right?" She's right. I had to start looking after myself which I'm still trying to do. I've had a little success..
I found out that the world continues to spin without me directing it!!!
Huh. Go figure, eh?

Yep, I know, @Lynn49 . Both of these church things have wound up on the same weekend. After June 23, I am done with that!

I cancelled the Karaoke practice today- I was falling asleep and didn't fancy doing that behind the wheel.

Your DD knows you well, as you know me.

Thanks @Natalka .. 🙂

for me it’s ddp yoga, walks and weights. Also intermittent fasting, I only eat between 10am and 7pm and all whole foods and mostly plant based.

@Horndogg - unfortunately I lost the bulk of it when I was very ill a year and half ago.

For the rest, it's calories in, calories out - making sure the latter is more. Any moving is still moving - so, for example, if I can't walk 100m today, I can maybe walk 20, but that's okay. If my leg hurts, then I do more arm exercises.

- added: I don't count calories, just balance.


I cut way down on pop and junk food, and I rarely have a taste or craving for them.

.....

New physiotherapist just left, she seems quite good for now. After doing lots of range of motion tests on my right ankle, plus much prodding and pushing, she doesn't know why it's giving me such grief - especially since the pain isn't only from weight-bearing. She gave me a few exercises for that to try.
And for my owie hamstrings, an adaptation of an exercise I have been doing.

I will see her again next week.

So, waiting for husband to come home!

Have a nice Restful evening, everyone!

Sorry, it posted twice.

Had a good supper and quiet, hot evening. Just took bedtime meds, will give them a half hour to start working, then I am off to bed.

Ha! Run for your life! Worked on a couple of tasks this evening. Wanted to put a post in our local free news ads. Got everything typed in and then they wanted the Latitude and Longitude for cripes sake. Changed screens to look it up. -actually found it but ...blam.... everything else had been erased on the page. Fuddle Duddle-to quote a famous statesman. That was the end of that effort.

Then tried to find the record of our first meeting about the Covenant in Service for our new minuster. Why is it that I can always find the very next conversation but not the one that I want.

I stopped typing right in the middle of my post to you. I took Tootiie out for a nice walk, ate a really good Greek salad for supper, picked up my new allergy meds, and hand-held windmills to scare the birds off the balcony.

Is Mars particularly close to the earth right now? It seems very bright and sparkly when I just took Tootiie for her walk.

Going to wish you a lovely sleep. BFN, my friends!
