Apparently, I can make a post on TT, but can't comment on my own post. Can someone else see if they can comment on my TESTING post over there?

Really glad to hear from you, CC. I've been worried about y'all, too. I wish your dad were rallying better emotionally--for him and all of you. I imagine he wouldn't respond well to a suggestion that he take an antidepressant of any kind.
Like Liz, I'm glad you're getting out for some sunshine and hiking.
Regarding TT connectivity, I seem to be shut out of posting there, too. Something's gone haywire. I've tried 3-4 times just now to post over there and got strange messages including these:
1) an admin or moderator has to approve some messages in this group
2) "Send the following on WhatsApp. This site is trying to open another application. Allow/Disallow"
I've NEVER seen anything like this on any FB group I've ever joined.
Diane O, can you confirm that you're still the admin/moderator for TT?

Great idea to get out for a hike in those beautiful surroundings and clear your mind!

I think it's safe to believe that anything "personal" anyone wants to mention here will be received with love and support. If nothing else, it's context for everyone's appreciation for what's going on with us--individually or together. After all, what one person mactions they're going through (that no one else has mentioned before) can invite others who might like to talk about the same issue(s) they're experiencing or that a loved one is experiencing.

I've never been to a Galentine's party, but boy would I love to do so! Maybe I'll gen one up this week around here. :)

I'm with you all on the "chunky is much better" standard for guacamole. I abhor the grocery store guacamole for that reason.

I feel compassion for my dad, but the depression is driving me nuts. The one word answers, moping, no engaging with us, no interest in anything... I don't know what to do. It's frustrating, yet understandable. Hopefully the Super Bowl perks him up.
We are watching season 2 of Night Action on Netflix. That is stressing me out too! Good show, but I can only do 2 episodes at a time at most.
Today I am hiking with a friend for a short hike and then a friend and her daughter from MI who spend the winter here are coming for the game.
I need to pick up before my hiking friend comes over as she hasn't seen my house. Visitors are a great way to get me to clean up.
Enjoy your Sundays! I messaged DianeO to see about TT. All my posts are going to pending.

The original change schedule was every 12 weeks. Then they went to 10. This one clogged at 8. The urologist at the hospital threw out changing every 4 weeks and carrying a replacement stent with them in the event they end up at a new hospital that hasn't seen his set up before. He's basically getting kidney infections that block the stent. How to prevent kidney infections when we all walk around with some level of bacteria in us and a stent that drains outside his body is what no one seems to be able to solve.
118.8 - down .2 from the 5 day streak LOL
Our group all seems to like staying rooted! I worked for the same company in one capacity or another for 39 years. I was married to deceased DH for 38 years. I have kept my maiden name as part of my name for my entire life LOL.
We started to watch a good movie on MAX last night: We Live in Time. At one point the wife who has a cancer which has recurred has her hair shaved off before the chemo can make it fall out. Brought back when I took DD to the hairdresser to do that because clumps were falling out. I was crying so DH turned it off. I told him that I didn't mind feeling the feels but he was uncomfortable. I will have to finish the movie on my own.
For once no assigned activities though we do have a Super Bowl party to attend tonight. Possible daytime plans after our Justice walk are going to a venue with outdoor music or to the beach club to vegetate to the sound of the ocean. Now that we are in high season it will be very busy there so we have to go early to get a good spot.
We are just getting back from breakfast (the 7:30 bus was prompt). Justice walk next. Have a sustainable Sunday!
