Sorry, hun. I hope things got better as you rolled into the weekend.

That of course is a relative term … old hmmm

 

[Lilianna23]

Very good. Keep the Sarcopenia at bay. Try to build additional muscle all the good things for an aging adult. Plus i like it socially and mentally. How’s your training coming Lil?

She destroyed me again yesterday! As usual. But! She's started taking me over to the "big kids" section of the gym! I do everything she asks of me. It's not pretty and it's not quick but I can see that I'm making progress. Our main focus is balance and strength.

The other day when I was grumbling, she told me about a client of hers who is 92! And uses oxygen! Well, I just had to shut up after that! I want to be that lady!

 

[Lilianna23]

Thank you. I am looking forward to getting the PT.

I hope it helps. Just go into it knowing it may take a while for you to see results.

 

[Lilianna23]

I started writing something similar.

But you explained it far more eloquently than I.

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning and Happy Friday. Good afternoon to our friends "across the pond". I thought Friday would never get here. Been one of those weeks. Today the calendar is fairly light so I should be getting out of the office earlier than normal.

The wife is asking to go on the boat tomorrow, an activity she normally looks upon with disdain. Maybe she has decided to collect on my life insurance policy, lol. I kid...I kid...

Everyone have a wonderful day!

Make sure you have enough to keep her comfortably!

 

[Lilianna23]

Happy Friday spoonies.

One more day of work. My friend is flying in from out of town for a few days. We are going to do the reading (pa) airshow and World War II reinactor thing. He is a big ww2 buff and I like the old school aircraft.

Then I think we will be shooting guns, finding old man bars to drink cheap beer and causing low grade chaos.

Have a good time with your friend, W!

 

[Lilianna23]

Awww, Thank You!!!
I'm INCREDIBLY BLESSED and I can promise you that She will NEVER be neglected or taken for granted!

You two are the lucky ones! You have a relationship most can only dream about! ️

These little things are starting to pop up in the pasture again...

Pretty! What is it?

 

[Lilianna23]

My Lovely Wife just got a phone call... 24 hours notice that an old friend is flying from California, two thirds of the way across the country, to deliver Her a limited edition bottle of bourbon.
I've gotta get busy "decluttering" as I've "Boattrashed" the place, while home...

Special delivery!

 

[Lilianna23]

Break out the maids uniform!

So, now I have to get another one for @Boat1?

 

[Lilianna23]

Good night all of you righteous citizens of the greezy spoon.

The Metz not only got out of a base is loaded no outs, jam, they had a clutch hit in the top of the ninth to win the game!

 

[Lilianna23]

Sweet Dreams all...

Just hit a plot twist 1/2 way through my current read
So the big question of the day is:
Keep Reading or Go to Sleep?
Decisions, decisions

I know your pain!

 

[Lilianna23]

I can't sleep

You better be asleep now! Don't make me come over there!

 

[Lilianna23]

Still can't sleep....

I had a vacation and came back to the sane bullshit I had before I left.... worse at work.... I am at the end of my fucking rope

I wish people would just stop using me as an emotional crash test dummy...

As soon as my parents are no longer on this earth... I am selling my house, throwing away my phone, and moving away..... I am not kidding

Don't let them. Just "grey rock" them!

 

[Lilianna23]

I think we all came like that @Lilianna23 and now take from it what we choose suits us as individuals.

Well said, G!

 

[Lilianna23]

I have been quiet as it’s been a sort of busy week. Had a colonoscopy screening which is not the best 24 hours of my life. All the usual concerns about it but fortunately all seems okay. Yesterday I took time out for me and went fishing to switch off. It’s another busy week ahead with my mums 90th birthday so a trip there Wednesday. In the meantime it’s jobs around the house and garden.

I'm glad your procedure went well, G. It's a right of passage for us olds!

Happy birthday to your Mum!

 

[Lilianna23]

I'm a touch freaked out at the moment... looking at a worm that's as big as a freaking snake, as it slithers across our patio....

It's not a worm, Boat! It IS a snake!

 

[Quimpossibility]

If you feel comfortable doing so, just stay here and hang out with us. It's a judgment-free zone.

Thanks, that's a good idea!

 

[Lilianna23]

Mornin all. Traveling to Nork (Jersey speak for Newark) to pick up my friend, then off to reading and low grade mayhem.

Have fun!

 

[Lilianna23]

I had a ginormous polyp so have to have another in 3 years.... the prep was a thing of nightmares.... just the taste... revolting

The worst part of the procedure!

 

[Lilianna23]

I had 7 removed. . My three yr expired last Dec…I’m going to schedule next vacation…

See that you do...

 

[Lilianna23]

I have to have one every year as I always have polyps.

My condolences! Just the thought of doing that prep yearly!

 

[Lilianna23]

Given my bedtime, I'm up way too early
Let's see what you early birds are up to today...

Does that offer extend to other people and... stuff?

Never heard of them until recently.
Horrifying

The way I see it - with every polyp I am beating cancer. Sure, the prep sucks. But then I get to give cancer the bird? Big win in my book. But then there's just so much cancer in my family history.

Doesn't it just?

I've been on the 1 year plan before. I call it the FUC Plan. F U Cancer

sorry @Wat_Tyler. I know you've been working really hard to make that happen. Don't give up. Temporary setback. You're so close!

And now I think it's time for a mid-morning snooze...

That "worm" is the stuff of nightmares!

 

[Lilianna23]

Sounds like a relaxing groove
I've a sibling who likes that group.
I could chill for a while but unless they're the background to our more important conversation, I'd want to change to music after about 3 songs.

Hoping you get good news!
It must be the Year of the Colonoscopy.

Not quite the year of the colonoscopy but I couldn't resist!

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

I'm sure many of you could! Remember, I'm an old woman!

You’re younger than me young lady!
