Hey folks, welcome to the new whine/general topic thread. Feel free to use this thread to discuss anything that is on your mind. Caregiving- related stuff, life after a loved one's death, your own emotional wellbeing. Whatever..........anything on your mind.
I'm trying not to say that anymore, people give me a look, and roll there eyes.
I've never had an issue with weight, or I have but the opposite issue. I realized I shouldn't be giving dieting advice.
It's like someone giving child raising advice that never had kids. Lol
So I'm 🤐
I don't remember who said that.
and could be dangerous in the older population.
[This is just a joke, imo].
Every now and then I stop for a bit for what ever reason, and my anxiety comes back. Then I'm like dummy start moving.
I use to get my summer exercise in the pool, but since we don't have one this year I gotta change it up
You mentioned skipping your walks Gershun - does that mean you are finally over your broken foot?
Exercise is my natural anxiety pill. Which I've been really slacking a little because of the humidity, and mentally I'm starting to feel it. hubby has a back issue, lately so when he sits around he likes me to sit with him.
Boccie tonight, that will get me outta this funk.
I hope it ends soon. For both of us.🤞
I went out twice in the last little while and forgot to lock the door behind me. I've been forgetting to put my seat belt on too. Little things. I attribute it to the covid cause it started right after that.
It is a good thing!
Puts me to shame as I am hiding out in the bedroom to give him the tiny space we have.
Not a complaint.
Call it

"Exercise Buddies share their stories"
OR
"How to Exercise to keep enjoying life"
"Don't Call It Exercise, keep moving to save your own life"
"Exercising While Aging"
The reason I don't want to start a discussion thread is that posters direct their questions to the original poster for years, and I just don't have time to do that.
I’d like to brag about exercise. Not only am I playing hockey again but I’m back on the points sheet. But to paraphrase Matthew McConaughey’s character David Wooderson: That’s what I hate about these new players. I get older, they stay the same age.
I finally pulled my bike out of the shed but while riding noticed the tire was almost flat so on a whim I biked over to a friend's bike shop to see if he'd fill my tire. He not only did that he gave the bike a tune up complete with a new seat, reflectors and raised handlebars, all for the cost of the parts... I have no more excuses to not ride!
Getting away from it all and clearing your head is so good.
It's a road but as they say you are getting out of the FOG. 🙂
I realize that I stayed far too long in a marriage that was full of emotional and verbal abuse. Mark is I the ICU getting dialysis daily and his memory is getting worse. He was offered hospice and he again refused. I realize I let myself go in far too many ways and am healing and my mental health is much better.
I guess the best thing is that I did leave and realize that I am a worthy person. I sympathize with Mark and told him the other day I care about him, but the divorce is final. I told him I do not love him, and that made him very angry. He said I quit loving him because he got sick. The truth is, I realized that his being ill highlighted my unhappiness.
I plan on leaving New Mexico for Ohio within a couple years.
Loved Bob Newhart, too!
They both lived a good long life.
Dad liked Tim Conway too from Carol Burnett. That was a good show too .
Good for you ! It’s on your Mom , when she is ready she will take pain med .
I’ve been pleased with myself lately , as well , that I have been better about letting go of feeling bad about my MIL’s situation of her choosing.
Perhaps I should toast to her “ right to rot” . !!
But she is the one that is refusing pain meds. This is on her, this is her responsibility.
If I was 88 and in pain, I would take anything they would give me to help
A friend said she wants to move some place cooler.
I said your going to probably have to go to Alaska for that.
We are supposed to get a break from the intense heat, Thursday, so something to look forward to.
