Update to our introduction

-

 We had an amazing life in California, but our two daughters are living in New York and it was time for us to go. We sold our house in CA and found a house we love in an over 55 community.  We instantly made friends and became somewhat of a clique but it all works out..Elliott is busy with pickleball and the drama club. We've made friends with people from those groups as well We talk to the kids once a week but most of the time it is just one or two since they have sleepovers, etc.  They are growing up and the baby I fell in love with is now nine. She, especially, is pulling away. Although she doesn't talk about it, I think she is angry that we moved.  We love seeing the adult kids as often as our calendars allow We do not like winter PERIOD. Cloey and Zoey are doing 👍 they follow us everywhere  I cannot believe they will be 13 in a month! Enough moping! I mope most of the time for our country.  Namaste

The convict and the muskrat

 It's 2025 and the orange turd won. He is president again. A lot of us knew how bad it could be, but his behavior is insane and crazy. Elon musk got a job without clearance and hired a bunch of children to help him run the country.  Rather than reiterating what I put on Facebook, I'll share some fact checked posts. Did you vote for him and regret it now? Let us know.

There's gonna be a change in me

  This photograph necessitates some explanation. I received a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes one year ago. Historically, I maintained a slender physique due to certain health issues. However, upon reaching my 40s, I began to experience weight gain. I was comfortable at 132 pounds and even 142 pounds. Despite being a personal trainer and maintaining excellent physical shape, my mental health issues persisted. When my weight reached 170 pounds, I joined Weight Watchers and successfully lost 30 pounds, only to see the weight return.  Last January, I initiated treatment with Mounjaro, which has brought me immense happiness and freedom from eating obsessions. I have achieved a weight loss of 50 pounds, albeit with significant hair loss. I am now considering whether to wear a wig or not. Instead, I opted to visit a local, reputable hairdresser who owns a salon, and the investment was well worth it. This narrative provides context for my new appearance, although I intend to allow my ha...

10-day Canadian Rockies trip by Car

 We are very settled in Monroe and are considering selling Lincoln and visiting a few times a year. We talk to the little ones almost every Sunday. They are growing up. 2nd grade, 1st grade a nd  preschool.  I'm doing fine on the exemestane.  Scans have  been clear. We have found a few docs but still have a couple more to find. We are heading back to CA in a month for four months.  Our flight to Canada was easy. We are trying to be less judgmental so I won't talk about a couple of annoying things.  I am trying very hard to do this blog in as non-OCD as possible. I wrote for epinions for years and don't want to be detailed like I was. "Just the facts, ma'am." We rented a car so did what we usually do. We borrowed a couple of itineraries from the web and followed those. One thing we would do differently is arrive in Calgary and leave in Edmonton though this is not a direct flight.  We would have toured Calgary for two days instead of leaving it to t...

The Worst of Times

-
Image
2022 has certainly been challenging. Health issues just kept piling up. Our world turned right side up or upside down depending on your perspective.  After family therapy we are good with the Loomis Levy's and have had the kids a lot. It's been fun but exhausting.  We made a necessary choice to be closer to our adult daughters. After searching and changing our minds, we bought a great house in an over 55 community in Monroe Township, NJ.  Funny but we are 45 minutes away from cousin Marissa and family; too far (2 hours) from Terri and Jeff and 1 1/2 hours to Manhattan. I may have mentioned this but our daughter MD gave 3 months notice, sold her house and got a job and apartment at a hospital near Lennox Hill.  Our furbabies turned 11 and without the beach house (We sold it and will sell the RV.) they don't run as much as they used to but they are spry and healthy.  I'll take pics when I am in the house and hopefully find my camera in one of the 6 suitcases we pa...

A few thoughts

-
Image
It's almost Thanksgiving and it will be just the two of us. The Loomis Levys haven't spoken to us since January and now that means if we don't have a relationship with them, we can't have time with the kids. Ouch that hurts. Anyway, saying more aggravated me so I'll leave it at that.  I am getting used to the inhibitor I am on. More tired than usually and I don't know if pains are from R.A. or the Cancer drug. Or cancer. I just had a uterine biopsy. Getting back into the swing of things here at the country club, which is nice, but I would really like to have a lake house in NY by the time we get back there.  As you know I love to post memes, etc. If one of Loomis Levys paid any attention, she would know that and would not have taken a meme seriously. I will share some here, but I get lots from Instagram, which I can't log onto right now! Truthfully, I am bone tired and don't have it in me right now.  Ok I'm back today and getting my hair cut and colo...
