Good morning!  I hear you @nomless making those doctor appointments.  Regular apps come around fast enough but then there are the unscheduled appointments.  Thank God for 'good' insurance.  Hope they don't they it away from us.  I'm fine paying for Medicare, supplemental insurance, drug insurance and dental insurance.  Don't mind paying as long as it's affordable.  But these people definitely make me nervous, lol.

Wow, I haven't been for a dental check up in over a year!  My dentist that I was 'comfortable' with dropped my plan suddenly and I didn't know why.  Recently found out that it was because it was Delta Dental HMO.  I recently changed to PPO, which it turns out they do accept so I will be scheduling a cleaning soon.  I just couldn't make myself go to the other place that I had chosen in their place.

I had said that I would ask my opthamologist yesterday about exams twice a year instead of three times a year.  She beat me to it, lol.  Since my eye pressure had been consistently in the normal range for glaucoma, twice a year would work.  Unfortunately my cataracts are worse but still not in the surgery stage.  This is why my night vision is bad, though.  Life is about changing, right.  Life is also about accepting the changes.

When I left the house yesterday, it was pouring rain.  Luckily the hail had stopped.  Today looks like a winner.

Be blessed.

Good  Morning all, it's very snowy here.   We went from 70 on Saturday to tornado like weather Sunday night to 8 inches of snow today and the schools are all closed.  I do have to get out to a hair appt.   We haven't had a plow in here either and it's that wet heavy snow.   I sure hope I make it.  I think if I can get to the highway I'll be okay, it's getting there.

Did an hour on the Reformer today, not shoveling....I gave it up LOL  Hahaha..

We have terrible insurance, no dental, or vision or prescription so it's scary times for sure.

Hope everyone is doing okay and healing up from whatever ails you!

Hi!  Did 2.5 mi/33 min on the treadmill.  Still have the darned cough...every time I cough I lose a couple brain cells...ope!  I gotta pick up my contacts.....who was talking ophthalmologist.... @Mmsfoxxie?????  Son just started driving so he is going to drive me a couple places today....hopefully not crazy!

@bopper @nomless @Mmsfoxxie @DrKelli @Iluvlucy wishing you all a great Tuesday!

[DrKelli]

Thank you, MickD!  I was just headed over here to check in.  Our trainer for small group is back from England.  He brought my workout partner and I some candy from England.  It's funny because whatever exercise he wants us to do, my partner and I always tell him no.  Or we swear at him.  Today, she brought a "no" button and every time you push it, there is a different version of No.  He starts out with something I didn't like and I made her give me the button and I pushed it. Then throughout the workout, each of us pushed it a number of times.  It got very funny and even the trainer got in on it once or twice.  AND THEN HE TOOK THE BUTTON!  She looked at me and said well, I guess I have to get another one.

I'm taking a safety management specialist certification test tomorrow, so will probably have to forego my workout at lunch.  I really need to practice my new zumba song again before thursday, but this week has been so nuts, I haven't had time.

I hope everyone has a great day!

@bopper, that's the strangest variance of weather that I can remember hearing of in a long time.  Wow!

If you're able to get to your appt, I hope your stylist makes it as well.

[Mmsfoxxie]

Yes, opthamologist was me @MickD. Maybe until the coughing goes away, you should cut back on exercising??  Your body might be weak right now.

@DrKelli, sounds like you were having a lot of fun with each other.  But why were you telling him no?  Just to play or was he requesting weird routines?

Today I had so much 'fun' working out with a towel!  We used a towel holding each end tautly.  Overhead for bicep curls, behind us for triceps curls, standing on one end of towel while pulling on it, leaning our bodies in the opposite direction and other stuff.  This instructor is fantastic.

So today I walked two miles, did the class with the towel, a flexibility class and lastly, I went back to the towel guy (lol) for half of his Zumba class but I was tired.  @DrKelli, I doubt if his Zumba class is like yours.  Sometimes I think it's only called Zumba because of the music, lol.  He makes steps up as he goes.  My Saturday class is authentic Zumba.  Love that one, too.

[MickD]

@DrKelli. It sounds like you guys were one up on the trainer......hilarious!  Good luck with the test!

@Mmsfoxxie I have not been pushing it....too old for that! All you guys out work me on a daily basis!  You all are my inspiration!!!!!!!

Good morning, everybody.  It's gonna be a light exercise day today just walking.  Gotta leave early cause the plumber is coming back and he will block me into the garage.  He was here yesterday and is coming to finish the work he started.  Hubby will be here to take care of the big bill.  Ugh!!  Three leaks in the family room ceiling.  In my next life, I will buy a ranch style home.  All of our plumbing is over the family room.  Expensive to repair leaks.  After he leaves, then we have to have the ceiling repaired.  This is not the first leak we've had to repair.

Enjoy this beautiful day ladies.

Hello, it is sunny today and the snow is starting to melt, still all white here though.  We have no buds on the trees so it's quite barron here.   Took the car to the shop to see if it is worth reparing.  We are thinking it isn't so we'll be with only 1 car once again.   I had to shop late because I dropped the car off at 10, so took my hubby's car to shop.  I hate driving it.  He uses it for his work and it's full of junk and his work stuff.  The stores were nuts, of course they were a few days before Easter.   Just glad to be home from the nut house!  LOL    

Did reformer before I went and now going to have some lunch and watch The Tigers, 

Dr.Kelli sounds like a fun class with a lot of laughs!  

foxxie sorry about the plumbing and leak issues, thats no good and plumbers don't come cheap!

Nomless hows the day going?   Are your feet still hurting?

MickD hope you feel better soon, maybe once the weather changes.

Lucy are you having a good week?  I bet you have the blossoms out now.  Hope your allergies aren't too bad.

Waving to all

@Mmsfoxxie, we do it because it is hilarious.  He never gets upset, but one day he told us we were worse than toddlers.  We always do what he tells us, but we have to have the No routine first.

I did not work out today because I didn't get back to the office until 10:30.  I think I passed the exam, but I won't know until November because I was in the beta group--the first to take the certification exam.  I know of at least 5 questions I got wrong--one of those I am sure of.  But there are 262 test questions and most of the certifications you need a 54.9% for a passing score, so I'm pretty sure I got that.

I MUST practice my Zumba routine tonight--I haven't practiced all week because of one reason or another and I HAVE to practice at least twice through tonight before my HOA meeting.  Many years ago, I got roped into being on the HOA board, which is a thankless job.  At least we've gone from 6 meetings a year to 4.  I would love to step down, but no one else in the neighborhood seems to volunteer for it.

Hope you all have a great day!
