Halloween is over - a non-event here on the actual day which seems weird. And no grandchildren to enjoy it through. Weird these days to hear people talking about their young grandchildren with more coming. Not happening with my kids. No prospects for my son and he is already in his mid 30's and obviously no children for my daughters. I just have to hope that DSS and DIL will have a child once they return to living in the US (and that they will live somewhat near us).

My PCP wants me to do more weight bearing exercise. She doesn't think the walking is enough but was unsure about yoga. I was thinking about my yoga and I do think a lot of that could be considered weight bearing especially when I google good exercises for osteoporosis and some of them are in my yoga routine (bridges, chair squats for example). I see a specialist on Friday and will see what he has to say. I am not good about keeping up with exercises at home and I don't really want to have to go outside of the community so will see what he recommends. We do have other fitness classes like Pilates, Tai Chi, etc. But I don't feel like I want to add another class. Right now I have 7 days of 3.5 mile walks, 2 days of water aerobics, 2 days of yoga, 2 days of bocce, and 1-2 days of golf. That feels like a lot.

Not sure what we will do today. It is cold again this morning but is supposed to start warming back up from a high in the upper 60's the last couple of days to highs around 80 in the next couple of weeks. That is with lower humidity so will feel glorious. We may go to our usual outdoor music venue this afternoon. Tonight we are meeting a long-time work friend of DH's and his wife for dinner as they just move to our town this week. The last time we had dinner with them I really hit it off with his wife so am looking forward to it.

Time change tonight! I hate the adjustment, but it will be nice to have it not be so dark in the morning (not so nice to have it dark earlier in the evening).

Have a sailing along Saturday!

Funny how quickly 8:30 can seem awfully early. I have to go for fasting labs in February and asked for an early time (since I had to fast). But when she said 7 am I blinked and said no way - how about 8:30 (which is also early for me LOL).

I never heard that about statins. Interesting and scary (both DH and I are on them - seems like most everyone is).

I hope your party was fun! Can't wait to see pics (I will check on FB now).

On my setting a child definitely could burn if they weren't careful but since there are never any little ones here I can get a good hot shower.

Hi everyone, I spent the day at the hospital, and I am worn out, but okay. A lot of palns were proposed, but in retrospect, I don't think much will change. My Mom is most likely going to be discharged Monday. My brother needs to visit our family land up north and do some weatherizing on pipes etc and prepare for deer hunting, so I told him to go ahead tomorrow, and I'll visit again at the hospital. I have plans on Monday, so he will take Mom home from the hospital. I'll write more later, tonight I am completely wiped! I enjoyed reading everyone's posts and hope all have a great weekend!
