Daily check in..for all #186

Hi all. Thought I'd start. Am sure karen will post last post. Had a good session with support worker. Went by the river and the op shoo i bought the recliner from.

I bought a suitcase...good one right size sturdy and only 15 dollars and a clock that was hand made.

Blitzed the house last night. Weather been good...soon to change. Keep well and strong my friends. HT

Hi, I'm checking in once again.

Today has been eventless for me. I did clean up the inside of my car about an hour ago. But I can't wash the outside of the car today because it's been raining for much of the afternoon here in southern Maine. Maybe I'll be able to wash it tomorrow instead.

Hope everyone is well, or at least hanging in there.

Welcome MainerMIkeBrown! Saw your post on NCOT's thread. Glad to have you with us!

I am in South Jersey little south of Walt Whitman bridge into Philadelphia. about 20 min.

Been having a rough time last 6 weeks, coming out of it now.

Thanks to Karen for double checking the forum!

Pitmom, I actually have produce from my yard, shade and all, this year. Nice supply of Lemon Balm, dried, waiting to be rubbed and jarred.

I love this herb on fish, roasted veggies and in my tea!

HT, thanks for starting this thread, always there for all.

Peace and strength All!

Hi All

There is something wrong with a runway or two at the Philadelphia airport. Fixing pot holes maybe. Website not specific.

Why do I care? Because I am sitting outside and the Planes are flying low, low, low over my house which is unusual. The first time, I thought the plane was in trouble!

Site indicated that routes will return to normal by noon today.

With so much rain this year, the ants are bad here. All over the place, silver fish in the house, they eat the spiders. I put mint oil around to chase the spiders out, Saw a huge thousand leggier and it ran under the stove before I could get it. Maybe they eat the spiders I can't remember.

Tip for All: When you are outside, but a fan on, creates a breeze enough to give the bugs away!

Had to do mindful breathing and ice to calm down on that one. Have not seen it since. That was 3 weeks ago.

I do not like bugs in my house. Grant it, I live nice to woods, still I don't like them. Can not spray because of the dogs.

Saving grace is Doodlehead, if she sees one, it is dead, in 2 secs. My, brave bug slayer!

Peace

So.... somehow I cracked a tooth. A molar. Went for a root canal, which I was dreading, only to find out it’s too badly damaged for that. It has to be removed.

I think I’m in shock a bit, I never even considered this possibility. ICK. And can I be in mourning for a molar???

So drinking Dr Pepper by the gallon (well, not literally, but 40 oz daily is too much) to keep myself in my skin. Doesn’t do much for my sugar levels or my weight loss plan, but keeps he depression at bay. Wish I could find an anti-depressant that worked as well!!

Other woes as well, with HOA and SO, but am so ready to end this day that I’m going to turn off the light instead!

Y’all be well.

Learning about the bridge and implant options now. Probably an implant.

I will definitely do something - my jaw muscles have a tendency to tighten and 'cause issues if I do the "chew on one side" thing. Plus I don't want the remaining teeth moving around messing up bite and appearance.

The bridge seems to require shaving down the neighboring teeth and putting crowns on them to anchor the replacement crown. This seems to need repair/replacement in about 20 years. It can pull the 2 good teeth in toward the middle, thus also alignment issues. Plus what is under the "new" crown to provide support if you bite down?

The implant is a post into bone, with a crown on that. The more expensive option but very rarely requires work later. More sturdy for eating, better at holding other teeth in place, better for the health of the underlying jawbone.

I have learned that the older you get, the more things you encounter that you never thought about in youth. So then you have to learn a whole new language to deal with whatever-it-is. I learned about laws and the court system in the divorce-from-hell, learning about a variety of mouth specialists, etc, in this case, learned about the body, Drs, and the autoimmune system with my Lupus....

At least this morning looks pretty, so maybe it will be a better day!

Ball of whacks!!! Very good one, I'm smiling! Thanks

And it looks like my internet/tv problems are on the way to being fixed today. Maybe I can drag myself up out of depression for a few more days after all.

Hope y'all are ok out there.

This morning and early afternoon I took advantage of some decent weather by walking around downtown Naples and Bridgton, Maine.

I find walking around little cities like Portland and Bangor to be more exciting than just walking around little villages. But it was nice anyway.

Hi everyone, hope your weekend is going good.

I've been home for most of the day and can't bring myself to do anything. I was suppose to get tile cleaner and bleach for my bathroom as I have mildew on the bathtub grout. I'm trying to go green and avoid harsh cleaners, but nothing seems to work getting rid of mildew.

To top it off, I was suppose to exercise and start my health journey today, but I've been so lazy I can't bring myself to do either. Oh well, I guess I'll start tomorrow.

FP... It is okay to start a day later. Don't be hard on yourself. Mildew is hard to get rid of. I think that the bleach is your best bet.

Jamie... I think you will find your item. You are not useless.

Hugs, Karen...

You are right MMB,

I think the forums are awesome and there is a lot of convenience with being able to shop online and do other things. I have gotten so use to having the computer though that I would be lost without it.

Have a good evening...

Hugs, Karen...

Hi Weary, I'm sorry you fell and I hope you don't hurt too much. When I fall the first thing I do is check to see if anyone saw me and then I check to see if I've hurt myself. How are you getting along?

Jamie, my theory is that as get older, we have more things to remember and it takes longer to sift through all that stuff so it seems like our memory is going. I think there is some research to back this up. So don't worry, you aren't useless, you are full of memories.

I just got back from spending the weekend at my husband's hemp farm. The whole family was there, which was fantastic and made me feel good. And 4 dogs, one of whom sleeps near my head and snores gently. The coyotes were howling close by - very western. If you look at a map of Colorado and find Alamosa down south, it's very close to there.

Back to work tomorrow. I will spend the night up there, which is a little pricey, but makes a big difference in my fatigue level.

Have a good evening everyone.

Kathy
