I know you are supposed to put your mask on first before helping others, but it’s so hard. I’m sleep deprived, juggling phones, calming my mom down who doesn’t understand where she is. She was transferred to a rehab place, it was late and she got roomed with someone who is watching tv loudly, it was blaring through the phone. She’s had a stroke and she can’t handle the noise. I just calmed her down, told her it will be ok, and we will get tomorrow. Lights out in 45 mins there. I asked them to move her somewhere quiet until then and they said they would. She may try and escape.
I need to eat, get my meds, breathe and that sort of thing. I can’t get to her until I get enough sleep to safely drive for 7-8 hrs.
I'm so sorry, Noor! Try to sleep tonight so you can help your mom tomorrow. 🫂🫂
 
I had a productive day with my trainer today. First of all, I brought offerings, which, in hindsight seem to make her work me harder! 🥵
She got cherry syrup, mini balls, and chocolate cheesecake bars.

I also made the critical mistake of telling her I slept well! 😅😅

She asked me when was the last time I got myself off the ground. Critical mistake #3. I told her about setting up my surge protector last week. I had to crawl under the desk to plug it in.

She then leads me to the leg press in "big kids" section. The seat is literally almost on the floor! 😱 I did the first set with no added weight; I found out later the deck itself weighs 100 lbs. Then she adds 2 45s on. I did that set. Then she adds 2 more 45s on. I did that set. Then she adds a THIRD pair of 45s. I'm like WFT???? I'm an old woman!

At the end she told me I was pressing 370 lbs! 🤯🤯🤯 I was worried about getting myself up but I popped up like my legs weren't jello. 😳

I'm ridiculously proud of myself! 😅😅

Best wishes on a successful solution for this. You're a good daughter for caring, moreso for doing.
 
Wat! Are your weasles killing chickens??? 😅🤣



No, but the labs are. The landlady caught them red-handed yesterday pulling apart one of the girls. Landlady had 11 chickens earlier this year - 3 layers and 8 new ones. One of the layers went first, and now she's down to 2 little ones. Oddly, the ducks don't go over there and the Universal Puppy doesn't seem to care about the ducks. They get herded past the Puppy to go to the pond.


They got a chorus of "bad dog!"


I wager that they will kill again.


Daisy the chicken killer seems to have led Beau Puppy astray . . . .

We had the rudimentary version of something like that in the high school weight room. It had stacks of weights and you moved the pin to include more to increase the Degree of Difficulty. We were assing around one day and I wound up doing one rep of the entire stack. I think it was supposed to be 1100 pounds. I might have weighed 140 pounds at the time.


I haven't seen any of those guys since Nineteen eighty-something . . . .
