The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Well laddie, you’ve come to the right place! 🤣. I think we have a couple of no-shite Scotsmen in Greylag and one of the newbies. Lili and myself have direct root ancestors. Whenever you feel like letting your Saltire flag fly, give us a shoot! 😂 Where does your Clan hail from Rj?

Well stress test was…more stressful than I remember. I’ve done these before and breezed through them. Hardly broke a sweat. I was struggling mightily yesterday! 😲. The last time the gals just let me go till I started whining a bit. I told them yesterday, I’m going to hit my time, maybe give them a bonus minute, then I’m done. They laughed then turned up the torture machine. Hit my five min mark, told them they’re in bonus time…I was supposed to hit 138 bpm…I got to 136…and ran out of gas!

They said I did good in that I never slowed down…I just quit on them. 😀. My MyChart write-up said, and I quote, “patient kept speed till the end but couldn’t finish”…end quote. She did mumble something about she thought doc might accept…I’m like…that’s all he’s getting. If they can’t get what they wanted off of close to ten mins…

One thing was established…I’m out of shape! 🤣. I need a trainer…get dedicated like OM…

Well, the storm came and went. I had plans to go fishing but it’s wet and SheWho’s a Pain in @$$ sometimes, had plans for me to clean the garage…🙄. We’ll see. I’ll let you know who wins. I’m thinking you know…Joshua Tree Morning Z…

Seems like an acceptable stress test, depending on the outcome.

We ALL know who won, H! Did you finish cleaning the garage? SWMBO just wants to park her car in there! 😆😆
 
Oh dear. I don’t like to give advice but i discovered something in my 50s that made the BS less significant. I finally realized that “I” needed to be put at the top of the list. You are the most important person to yourself. More than anyone else. It’s a hard thing because we are taught our entire life that everyone and everything else is more important. I spend money on me trainer coaches etc because i feel better. I’ve had the heart attack’s the stent and Missk love yourself first and foremost because your worth it.
THIS!!! 👆👆👆

And yeah it's always hard.. it was unexpected and now I'm stuck w the shoulda coulda thoughts.. anyway nuff about that... my avatar misses u too.. 💋
Those thoughts are natural but decisions you made then were made for good reason. Those reasons haven’t changed now so don’t doubt yourself please!
 
I have FINALLY caught up! I've been making a valiant effort most days but end up falling asleep before finishing. Please don't dock my pay! 😅😅

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I need to get some sleep before I face my trainer. 😬😬

Here's a picture of my lower deck. Springtime! It's overrun with clematis, roses, and honeysuckle. There are chairs and a table under all that! 🤣 I love how wild it is! 💝✨💕

Try not to let those thoughts live rent-free in your head. I think almost every woman has a complex relationship with her mom. Try to remember the good parts. The parts you enjoyed, that made you feel special.

It's so hard, I know. You have my support and that of many others here. It can be a comfort. 🫂🫂
