yes Lots, I am taking those pro biotic pills too. Will see if they help. Taking a bunch of fiber pills too each day. My stupid lawnmower keeps breaking down. Going to pick it up hopefully today. Pauly

Hello Ellen. How are things? Things are quiet here after all that sawing and pounding BUT I love the results. It makes all the rooms look briughter and bigger. I love them. Even in the closet. I amm still picking up green fur balls. Russ went to massage and pt. The massage not hands on heating pads. He liked the pt. They want him to go 2 times a week. About an hour ago he said he was crippled so who knows. I was doing laundry ay 7AM. TOPS agenda ready. We have 2 contests going. One I think will be hard as they have to lose every week until August. Not me KOPS cannot lose too much or we lose status. Poor Cat wants home. I guess she has to stay there. BG 106. I feel good. Hope you are too....do not overdo. A big HUG. Reed

Hello Lots how are you today very hot here in the Shire so hot it has tuckered our 3 cats out and they are sleeping in the same room near the fan if you find the place free from diabetes can I come along and keep you company it has such an effect on one's life and those loved one's around you I know, a burden I would gladly carry if it did not affect those I love but my late mum use to tell me things are sent to test you, think I am failing my test some days are better than others but not as good as they use to be.
How is your new kitty and family nice to see u on tu regards twiddle

I have had problems with Metformin causing me digestive problems. I stopped taking it and it has improved. If my numbers go up I will ask for Lantus to level me out. I make enough insulin to cover my meals though. Thank you for the kind words. I am glad you are back in full swing again.

Hi Lots. When I wake up high, my entire day is shot, even after I come back to a good range. The older I get, the longer these effects seem to have on me - feeling hungover the entire day.
No sign of Mari. It doesn't sound good, particularly since I guess they found her dog wandering around. I sure hope someone didn't force her into her car, etc. In situations like this, one's imagination tends to run wild. She is supposed to give a presentation in Michigan this weekend, and if she doesn't show up then it will be an indication that something's gone bad, really bad.
Today I am going downtown because every Th they have a big farmer's market on the main drag. The creeping thyme in my fairy garden is not doing well and I need to look for some other herb to replace it.
The sun is even out.
Have a good day.

Hi Lots. Hope you are doing well. I didn't see you at the diabetes group on Wednesday. You really missed your chance, my friend Cherry taught us to Hula. Well, just a few steps. That is probably the only time I'll ever Hula, but I had fun.

Hello Lots. Pooped. Packing moving furniture getting the dust from under the bed. Tom and Russ really worked. I did what I could with a walker. Tom took 4 days off from work. He is strong. I think I might have told youwhen Russ and I are gone we have left Tom the house with the contents. He loves our antiques so now we do not have to worry where things end up. PRAISE GOD there is nothing on the side of Russ's nose. What a reliev. I am feeling better than I deserve. My legs pretty good. I gained a pound at TOPS...I needed to. Just getting ready fopr floors I know what you are going through setting up a house. TAke it slow and easy. Hopefully, I will be back Saturday. HUGS,Reed

Oh mercy, wasn't Cat beyond cute in his early days? (He also looked higher than a kite.)
I just told Reed that the pic Linda put up on his page looked like my condo does every day. LOL. That's why I need to declcutter.
Hope you and Zen are having a good day.

The only people I know who have been successful in keeping orchids blooming are those who give them a ton of orchid food.

Generally the weather is warm here, so yeah, it can feel like being on vacation. Sadly, we don't actually go to the beach all that much. Just not our think, I guess.

Thanks for the good wishes for the week. I hope your week is going well too.

Thanks for the pretty picture Lots. Hope you are doing ok and on the mend.
Pauly

Lots.computer trouble-sent you a email on fb...got to go ! what a mess !!!

were you able to go last night? just wondering. nice day here, hope it is for you too. reed is supposed to be taking a break for a few days, what with getting the hardwood floors installed. he really should take a few days off here every now and then, it's the SANE thing to do.

Hi Ellen

hi Ellen, I've been thinking about you, and hoping you're going to be able to go to Brian's group tomorrow, even just for a bit. He's someone I'd really like to meet. He's really doing an amazing job as an admin too, I have never met someone with as much knowledge about diabetes as him. He works very near where my mother lives, in Falls Church. Your new place is bigger, ooo, nice to have room to spread out a bit. you don't want to go so big you can't take care of it though. we had a place like that in Oklahoma. It took all night to water the grass, 12 stations, thank God we had a good well. it was crazy having that big house. now we have our little lake house, and it's just right for us. I want you to be ALL WELL, dear friend!

Hello Lots. I am not worth a dime today. My knees and legs so bad I can hardly walk. I hope it is a one day thing. We both were up early as we had to fast and give blood. We thought no one would be there WRONG. I was #30 Russ was #31. I gave blood for three doctors. Looking around the floor installers have some heavy pieces to move. You were feeling down. Are you better today? It takes a long time to pounce back from things. Russ has smething on the other side ofhis nose..can it be cancer? He says he cannot go though nose reconstruction again. Take good care Ellen Enjoy your new house. HUGS,Reed
