@bopper I'm not in the Midwest although I really want to be! We are at 87 degrees today, almost a record and it's only April. I should be bursting into flames around Memorial Day, if not earlier. 

I was sweating to death walking around the lake on Tuesday and bought one of those, or actually had it gifted to me, athletic dresses. I like them! Except I think I got a little sunburned so I will need to find the suntan lotion already this year.

The very next day, I have my third back issue. This time it's on the other side. ChatGPT said it's because I have been compensating for the other side these past four weeks.

I AM OVER IT!

I don't understand. I did weight training every single week for almost a year. I should not have weak back muscles. This must be overuse and I have backed off my weight training completely for over a month, but it seems every time I get two weeks in and feel normal, I have another issue.

I about cried yesterday I am so frustrated. I am fine if something makes sense. But, this is five weeks now and I am over it. I am not pushing it. I am walking only and I am doing everything I am supposed to do and it's not getting resolved.

Even meds won't touch me. Luckily, nothing has spasmed this time, but I have been standing all week or since Wednesday am. Needless to say, I have nothing to report other than my two walks I got in this week.

If I feel better tomorrow, I will probably go do my third since nothing I seem to do or not do fixes anything anymore.

Rant over. I am so grateful for the weekend. Work has pushed the new system, so I am still in a holding pattern and they may push it again for May 1st to June. Or not. We'll see.

The hot place can't come soon enough so I can get on through to the other side. 

Happy Friday all!

@bopper  - Thanks for the well wishes for Willow.  By the way, Willow is a "she" not a "he."  Not that it matters that much but thought I'd let you know.

Haven't been to the gym all week, except for about 30 minutes on Monday.  Will get back to it next week.  This morning was grocery shopping and some housecleaning, etc.

Have a good Friday everyone!

Hi everyone!!

 Not much to report either...trying to baby the knee.

I miss my walks and bike, im so bummed...I get into a routine, then something has to interfere.  Im a little better today...because I did nothing much.

Yesterday I did a few errands,  but took Aleve and kept the Ace bandage on.

Farrier came, today... I watered plants, and usual stuff around here...thats it.

  Ill be staying home this weekend,  getting bathroom floors cleared out and one last washing before guys come Monday for new flooring.

 @Laura14 ...I know how frustrated it is to have a set back...hope you'll feel better soon!

@violet runner ...so good to hear from you...hope those nasty side effects disappear asap!!  

Hope the rest here are all doing well.

Im going to send you all a very funny, but cute pic of something my grandson did.

Grandson collected a few fresh eggs from the barn chicken. 

My daughter didn't know, but he put them in his backpack and brought them to school today.  After school he came out bawling.  My daughter asked he got hurt, or what.??

He said, his favorite backpack eggs got smashed in school  😭

 We couldn't stop laughing, but tooo cute.

[Dazlin]

Photo won't go through here....sorry

I have a pic of the smashed eggs in his back pack...wanted you guys to have a laugh.

[JudyL]

@Dazlin  - That is such a funny story about your grandson.  Oh what a mess that must have been in his backpack!

[Laura14]

Happy Saturday, all,

@violet runner I hope you are feeling better today. ❤️❤️❤️ I have zero issues to complain about. 

Went for a walk in the park around the lake early this am. Made my minutes for the week.

Hope everyone enjoys their day.

Good morning.  Goodness me, my allergies.  It hurts to move my eyes. LOL  Just took allergy med and a decongestant.  Haven't had this happen in a long time.  Allergies yes, but not the face hurting, eyes hurting, don't move your head or eyes kind of allergies.  Something changed overnight!

@Laura14 - Glad you got a walk in outside.  Early moring walks always boost my mood.  Love hearing the birds and watching the world wake up.  Hope you got a mood boost too.

@violet runner - Thinking of you today and hope each day gets a little bit easier and you feel better.

Hi all...we are toasting here...going to hit 90's 

I was already in a heavy sweat early this morning doing the stalls, and worked on breezie to give her some relief from the bugs.

Soon as i came in, had to shower and change....only to begin house chores...oh well.

The heat should let up a bit by Monday. 

 Hopefully I'll get back into exercises by then....feeling a little better today, but I feel like the knee can go either way.

Got salmon marinating,  and wings too, (for him).

@JudyL ...its really funny, thats why i wanted to send a pic...you can see the smashed eggs through the clear plastic part of his backpack.   I think it 3 eggs...YIKES...yes what a mess.  Then hes crying about his favorite backpack  😅.  Guess my daughter had a job, haha.

Allergies bad here too...I get symptoms mostly in my ears, a runny nose.

I hate those allergy meds...but sometimes you gotta give it in.

 @violet runner , hope today is easier for you 🩷.

 Good to hear hubs been so helpful...prayers for him too....its hard on our loved ones too...sending hugs 🫠

Alrighty, im about to go empty linen closet in guest bathroom,  so nothing on the floor in there....will put the new flooring in there as well.

Feel better everyone here...seems we all have something!!
