Crone Cronies - The Only Way I'll Drop 10 Pounds Is If I Go Shopping in England. 3/27

sciencelady · 03-27-22, 07:32 AM

The Cronies is a place for women who are mature in age or attitude. The group is highly diverse in that we have ages ranging from 30s to 60s, some are moms, some are single, some are teachers/professors, and some have jobs and work outside the home and some don’t. We do our own thing and are happy when life doesn’t get in the way too often. Some are training for a marathon, some don’t even do vids, you get the picture.

Life and exercise are what we report. A thread is started every Sunday. Some report every day, others whenever they can.

Bottom line: we are a diverse group and very supportive of each other’s goals. Oh, and we’re funny as heck. If you’d like to join us, just come on down.

Good morning!

Thanks, Laura, for another funny title

!

It's ridiculously cold outside again - 13 F now! Brrrr! I so want to have spring weather here! Nothing formally planned here other than a dog walk with Gus. I'll be watering orchids and houseplants and putzing around. I did take Adelija and her friend to the Russian grocery store yesterday and they stocked up on favorite foods and candies. I got some candy that i used to have at home as a kid

.

Laura, sounds like you're on the temperature swing - our swing has stopped in the bottom backwards position - we'll likely be cold for the next predicted two weeks

. Adelija is doing some interviews for the yearbook team. She might be arranging some photos for it also - I heard Gus will be in the yearbook

.

Waves to all!

I

Maxine! This theme especially cracks me up.

It has been a nice Sunday. We went to church virtually and then I went to Wegmans for a pick up this morning. This afternoon, we are working together to cook spaghetti sauce. DH's recipe simmers for a long time and it's smelling really good.

Looking out the window, it looks like a bright and sunny and cool day. It is, but you can't see the breeze making it feel much cooler than it is. We've mainly been inside taking care of things except for my trip to Wegmans.

Anita - Gus is going to be famous!

He can put a yearbook appearance on his resume, if it happens. Two weeks of this cold? Ugh! Spring really is coming!

Paula · 03-27-22, 08:33 PM

Good evening. No workout for me today. We got back from the cruise yesterday. We had a good time but DH caught a cold the day before the last day. Of course I now have it too. He did a COVID test when we got home - not COVID just an ordinary cold. I have a runny nose and a nasty cough and didn’t get much of anything done today and probably won’t tomorrow either.

Hope your area warms up soon, Anita. Pat Gus on the head and get his autograph for me. Got a go blow my nose now.

Good morning!

Planning on walking Gus and maybe calling the vet for an appointment for him to check out his left hip - it's acting pretty arthritic still. Otherwise planning on putzing around. My waterfowl nursery duties pretty much got cancelled this year

. There's a Highly Pathogenic Avian influenza (HPAI) outbreak in the midwest and east coast of the US and all susceptible species are getting euthanized on admission to the WRC - this is in consultation with USDA, state agencies, and other wildlife hospitals. So no nursery this year

. It might clear by July. There's big flocks of domestic birds getting euthanized also... I'll be working on some home projects this spring then like re-staining my back deck.

Laura, sounds like very

spaghetti sauce! I don't do much in that area other than open and heat a jar of it from the grocery store

. Easter is very late this year also - I already ate all the Easter candy I picked up at the candy store

. I'll just have to restock next month!

Welcome back, Paula! Glad your DH just has a cold, not Covid, but sorry you're joining him in this fun

.

Waves to all!

What a busy day. This morning, I put on a load of clothes and then had a Zoom training session. Once that was over, I went to Walmart for a pick up. I came home and had lunch in time for Dad to pick me up in the early afternoon and we went to the YMCA for an hour of exercise. It felt good. I came home and have done various things around the house. I'm hoping this evening will be a little more laid back.

Paula - Welcome back. I'm sorry you are sick. I hope you get over it quickly.

Anita - That's too bad about the avian flu. I hope they can stop it quickly. Hopefully, the vet can figure out what's going on with Gus' hip.

Laura S. · 04-02-22, 02:17 PM

I came in looking for the new thread. Today's not Sunday...

It has been a quiet day. We've watched TV and putzed around the house. I am doing some laundry and I'll fix DH pizza for dinner. Polly has ignored us totally today after going out early and laying in the sunshine in our bushes all day. I want to get more work done on the records for the taxes.

Anita - Poor Gus. I hope that the surgery helps and he does okay afterward. It sounds like a good thing that Adelija will be gone some next week. How long will she be with you - when does the school year end?

Paula - Hope you have continued to feel better!

Paula · 04-02-22, 08:06 PM

Good evening. Sorry I was MIA yesterday. Got a bit ahead of myself, starting thinking I was over my cold and had a set back yesterday. I ended up in bed with a low grade fever, stomach upset, aching in the muscles and joints, basically feeling like crap. I'm somewhat better today after another 12 hours in bed, moving slowly and easily fatigued.

Anita, Oh no Gus needs surgery. I hope he'll be OK for the surgery. Could you put ramps in so he doesn't have to climb stairs? You know, like they do for people in wheelchairs. These could be smaller an more discreet. Glad you get some alone time and Adelija will be with friends during Spring Break, I suspect Duluth is a pretty safe place to spend Spring Break.

Laura, We had a quiet day too, largely because I'm moving slowly. Your stories about Polly are so cute. One day she wants lots of attention and the next she ignores you. Do you make GF pizza for your husband from scratch or do you get a heat and serve from the market?
