Thank you Nicole. Ok now. So many harsh chemicals in everyday products. Gotta give it more thought I guess.

MC @mc6844 , did you change detergents?  🤔

[mc6844]

Yes. Lol that's one change I can make. Doc says buy only for sensitive skin. Soap and detergents etc.

[mc6844]

Hi Nicole! And all on the site. You've been in my thoughts and good wishes.

I've been recovering from a reaction to laundry detergent. Ugh! I think we get tired when we're already going through things. And need to take better care of ourselves. I hope you are all well and doing what you can each day. Have a blessed day!

[MarcyW882921]

So sorry mc @mc6844 that you are dealing with this reaction. I hope you find some products that your body doesn't reject. At least you have found the culprit and we are fortunate that they make so many kinds of products these days to choose from.

HOW ARE YOU?  🤔

Everyone, find your peace today  💙🤗

Today here in MA  it's a good day to get outside and start to look for signs of Spring..Forsythia is in full bloom so are the Daffodils and Azaleas..Get some yard work done if you're up to it or just sit with a cup of tea and enjoy the sounds and surroundings...I am making a mental list of things I hope to start like planting flowers in my planters and perhaps spray painting a worn out plastic chair in a cheerful color...Hope your day has possibilities..

[mc6844]

Sounds good to me! Thank you.

HOW ARE YOU?  🤔

Today I have to go by my NEW Eye to pick up the paperwork I will need to fill out for my 8am appointment tomorrow. Yes, 8am and they want you there 15 minutes EARLY.  😱😱😱

I had gotten an automated phone call day before yesterday to go to their website to register. NO spot to register. Just a list of stuff to printout and fill in. NO printer and had planned on going to Library, but not in the mood to deal with their printer.  🙄🙄🙄

So called and asked IF I could pick them up. Some places mail stuff or allow you to complete online. Not them. What a pain!

HOPE I sleep tonight. Lol, don't need to arrive looking like I have a hangover or do drugs (donot drink or do drugs).

Rainy, yucky day today and tomorrow.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE  💙💙💙

[MarcyW882921]

Oh boy Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy , this sounds like a couple of frustrating days for you. I hope you get your paperwork done and all goes well with your appointment!

Marcy

[mc6844]

I hope it went well too, Nicole. I agree about all the forms and printouts these days.

HOW ARE YOU?  🤔

41 degrees here in Cave Springs, Virginia.

HAPPY DANCE, my neighbor from h.ll just left for work. 💃💃💃  What a weekend with them.

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY  💙💙💙

[MarcyW882921]

I'm surprised Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy that you extended your lease into 2025 with that kind of neighbor! I can only hope the next year goes by quickly for you!

Lol Marcy @MarcyW882921 , it was NOT planned!!!

NEW owners took us OFF the month-to-month lease and I had to sign a NEW year's lease STARTING this month.

So my PLAN of "taking my time" to move back to Florida 100% WHEN I found something there got CHANGED.

Realistically, as I AGE, I need to make sure my NEXT move is NOT A REPEAT of this h.ll. Since moving in here in 2018 and still working and car newer - it was okay.

Now that it has been SOLD, new owners are moving in the ghetto. Not safe anymore. And my DAY TRIPS are on hold since the other Old Lady [the car] has grown older like me/lol.

But that is life - UNEXPECTED CHANGES...  👵

[MarcyW882921]

These changes are very sad Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy and you are at the mercy of the new owners. For now I guess you will learn to tolerate your current circumstance and work toward making your next move one that will be satisfying long-term.

HOW ARE YOU?  🤔

34 degrees here in Cave Springs, Virginia and sun is here!!!  💃💃💃

Slept well LAST NIGHT after dealing with a Migraine. Been YEARS since I had one. But GRATEFUL it is gone TODAY.  💃💃💃

One more day for folks to RETURN TO WORK.  💃💃💃  Lol, hope it is NOT one of those RANDOM HOLIDAYS. Need to recover from the weekend = my Retirement PEACE for a few hours. Researching where to move to when my NEW LEASE "expires" March 2025. Fingers crossed - a small cottage OFF GRID with NATURE.  👍

Everyone, FIND YOUR PEACE TODAY  💙💙💙

[MarcyW882921]

Nicole @SpringIsHereSoHappy , So sorry to hear about your migraine, but glad you have been relieved of that pain. As a fellow sufferer, I know the pain.

Today would have been my Mom's 94th birthday. I took a walk at a preserve and had dinner with a friend. It was a good day.

[mc6844]

🎾  3 comments (4/3/24) Ms. Tennis & Zumba @MarcyW882921  [did I get it correct this time/lol] - how are you doing with these?  🤔

Hmmm, I seem to remember maybe ONLINE Zumba???

And Tennis, do you PLAY at a gym and I am guessing have a partner???

*** Are you walking, doing OTHER exercise? ***

You GO girl!!!  💙💙💙

[MarcyW882921]

Yes Nicole you got it right. I'm playing tennis doubles four days a week and typically do Zumba on the off days. Sometimes Zumba is online and sometimes in person. I do walking too and actually made it to a water aerobics class on Monday.

How about you?

Thanks for asking Marcy @MarcyW882921  💙💙💙

Well, when I 1st moved to where I am and still working (2018) I WALKED in the area.

In 2020 when I RETIRED, got lazy and COVID was here.

Now in 2024, finally thinking of WHERE I want to live when my NEW LEASE expires MARCH 2025.

Had NOT wanted to RENEW, but determined to IMPROVE my life with NO one above/below/beside/across from me.

*** NO rushing back to Florida for me until I find what I WANT AND NEED ***

Had that in FLORIDA before I left in 2015.  💃💃💃

LUV walking in NEW areas = exploring. Florida is NOT safe right now for this and where I am - lol, hate alot of the DRAMA Queens that NOW have moved in = stay inside so as NOT to deal with them. Car is OLDER [2006 Hyundai Elantra] so wisdom tells me to use her AS NEEDED. I use to drive out to Lexington, Virginia and some OTHER cities an HOUR AWAY. Yes, DAY TRIPS!!!  💃💃💃

Missing these and that is MY FOCUS for Florida = my Exploration Walks.

Not into anything ONLINE OR GROUPS = luv my ALONE time with nature...  👵
