Conversation – 17

Hello Peeps time for a new Conversation Thread. This is
number 17 out of the series. I created and started this thread nearly 8 years
ago. I will change it often from now on. This is just a knock around
thread about things in life. My life and others. I am an avid Heidi
Daus Collector, former singer, model and so on. I do this thread because
I enjoy what I do. I love fashion and music and HSN is a little of both.
I cover a lot of music and fashion on this thread. ✨😎
I am going to wish Happy Holidays to all the Peeps out there and please
stay safe.

Hi Oodie, thanks for checking in. My husband’s tests last week were good, no changes from about four years ago, that’s what we were hoping for.
I read about the cruise ship and according to our local paper, all crew and passengers were vaccinated. My sister did a cruise in October out of California and she had to be vaccinated and also have a negative covid test two days before leaving. I would guess all cruise lines are following the same policy. Maybe someone picked it up on one of the islands?? Mom and sis are still on for next February unless something major happens again.
Good luck with your booster and mam. I’m getting the booster this Saturday. I think with this new omicron variant, people are more anxious to get it. There were plenty of appointments in the ‘burgh up until about a week ago. Now they are going fast. Mom is not getting one, sis goes two days after me.

I was just coming over to ask how your BIL was doing. I’m glad he is stable. I am sending you good vibes for his speedy recovery.
The Jake milkshake sounds heavenly. I mean divine. I mean there’s no fat or tons of sugar in it,,, is there????? Oh gee whiz. It’s time to break from watching the weight. It’s that time of year. Anything goes within reason. Don’t feel guilty. When was the last time you had anything that delicious????? What a great way to celebrate Jake & Jake. I’m sure your four legged friend had something to do with this……….hmmmm…….. 🎄🎁🍾

We are now home from Physical Therapy. I wait in the car and read for an hour or until hubby is done. Our next appointment is Thursday morning. For some reason I like the afternoon slot better. I had all the windows in the van opened and it was absolutely hot. So closed the windows and turned the A/C on. Waited a few seconds and opened a couple of windows to avoid any problems. Hubby was tired following his appointment and I didn’t argue in returning home. We can shop anytime. Today, better to be home.
I didn’t do anything yesterday or the day before so will restart this afternoon. The vinegar in the dishwasher works very well. One cup is all you need and then close the door to the washer and turn it on as if you had dishes inside. Comes out beautiful each and every time. I had the appliance repair people here after the new disposal was installed incorrectly. Had a full standing water situation. Contacted the plumber and he could not figure out what was wrong. To a tune of $100 the appliance repairman figured it out in seconds and it was fixed. Took him five minutes from start to finish. Told me to charge the plumber the $100. However, he was also the one to say use extra strength vinegar at least once per month on the dishwasher. Just so happened I had the extra strength on hand and used a cup. Had the plumber return and he thought I purchased a new dishwasher. Money well spent. Will be using a different plumber from now on.
Going to put my feet up for an hour and then will get started on the kitchen. The cabinet under the sink is calling my name. Of course this leads to other areas as well. Take care and do not overdo anything.

Good afternoon to you my friend. Rain off and on today and it will be colder the next couple days. Saw the end of the game last night and, of course, thought of you. Good win and glad you beat the relatives!😁
You won’t believe what I had yesterday. We have a local company called the Milkshake Factory and whenever a certain hockey player named Jake scores a goal, the next day Jake shakes are half off. He scored on Saturday so my husband stopped and got me one in honor of my Jake. I think it has been at least ten years since I had a milkshake. All of their shakes have about six different ingredients. Jake shake has chocolate with hot fudge, cookies and cream and brownies with a black and gold drizzle of fudge and caramel, topped with whipped cream and a square of chocolate on top – I DRANK THE WHOLE THING!!!😲 That’s enough calories for the week. I am waddling around today.
BIL is stable, doing more testing. He is tolerating dialysis and getting some kind of heart test today or tomorrow. I guess will know more during the week.
Hope you got all your projects done today. Love the dancing gingerbread! Glad for that little extra in the coffee to keep me going today.☕💓

Staying on Track
In a world where we have routines to get everything done, we rarely have a routine for our spiritual self.
In a world where we have routines for nearly everything — our route to work, our physical fitness regimen, and our weekday schedule — it’s amazing how many people forget to create a routine for meeting their spiritual needs. We run around in an attempt to be at our many appointments on time and meet our many obligations. In our efforts to be as productive as possible, however, our spiritual needs tend to take a backseat. After all, taking care of our spiritual needs doesn’t directly pay the bills or tone our abdominal muscles. We may even wonder who has time to meditate or write in their journal when there are more pressing matters to see to. The truth is that nurturing ourselves spiritually is what gives us the energy and grounding that we need to make sure that our lives stay on track.
How you choose to nurture yourself spiritually is a personal choice. For some people, meditating once a day may be what they need to stay centered. While spending 10-20 minutes with your eyes closed and your brain devoid of thought may seem like a lot of time doing nothing, this state of nothingness actually allows you to stay calm and focused so you can be as productive as possible. Writing in your journal everyday lets you stay in touch with yourself so that you are always tuned in to your feelings. Repeating affirmations for success, happiness, and well-being on a regular basis can help you live with optimism and enthusiasm and create what you want in life.
Having a routine for nurturing your spirit that you do each day lets you feed energy to your soul and can serve you well if your life suddenly takes an unexpected turn into a difficult period. This kind of routine grounds your spirit in your body so that you stay anchored in yourself as you move through each day. Nurturing yourself spiritually allows you to not only stay on track in your life, but it allows for your life to stay on track with what your spirit wants. Amen! ✨✨
