Hi, everyone! Missed all of you. DH and I had a great time in Breckenridge for his birthday and my stepdaughter's birthday. Summit County, CO had a law that everyone had to wear face masks, so we felt fairly safe (as much as anyone can these days). DH played golf a couple days, and I rented a bike on those days and went on some great rides. The main thing I was concerned was on the flights to and from Denver. Some people removed their masks right after the seat belt sign turned off. DH, my stepdaughter, and I went kayaking another day, and DH and I went for a hike. Beautiful weather.

Tomorrow I getting a custom fit for a new bike. I'm getting a Trek this time. My current bike is about 18 years old, and I want one that shifts a little easier. I'll have to wait about 4 months to get it because of the backlog. So many people are buying bikes since March. So this purchase means I won't buy any bags for a while although I'm still bag content right now.

I went to Nordstrom today for the sale because the store offered me a $50 gift card if I came in. Nordstrom doesn't have as much as they usually do although I bought some things I usually do like athletic wear for DH and I. It was good to get out. Not many people in the store.

That's about it. Glad to see all of you are doing well.

Completely understand. I literally had a meltdown yesterday and this morning. I am pulling back from a lot of things. I said to someone this morning, I am not depressed just really shaky and out of sorts. Feel free to escape here. If these good people tolerate me, anyone visiting is a good time. :hugs:

Aw sorry to hear that. I thought Stick was supposed to be there for emotional support too? Or is he too busy with his new “friend?” :p

I know it's got to be tough wearing all of that. When DH and I flew to Denver, we wore those N95 masks, and that fit is different. We wore them for about 8 hours, and our ears hurt! That was just one day and not even close to what you're doing. I hope you can find a solution for the rash.

Yeah they fit tight. Well I have definitely been doing my own facials - scrubs and masks on a regular basis. And working on improving my diet, it went to crap during the pandemic. Baking and cooking things that I never make, too many carbs and sugar. I just made some batches of egg muffins to freeze so i can grab for work.

So my mom was admitted again to the hospital this weekend. She just got home last night. Apparently she ate something she shouldn't have and started nonstop vomiting and having diarrhea and had to be taken to the hospital. I hope this taught her a lesson to take care of herself because she listens to no one. I am terrified she's gonna end up getting the virus from her PREVENTABLE visits and be gone in a matter of two weeks. :sad:
Anyone else have parents who is being unnecessarily difficult during this madness?

Oh no I’m so sorry to hear this. I hope she gets it resolved and gets home quickly.
My Mom is really good about social distancing, wearing masks, and limiting exposure.And when we get together we hang out in her pool at her house and eat outside.

My mom will be 70 this year and she just lost her brother. I know it's one of the things weighing on me that my time is growing short with her. She told me she is fighting with her credit card company because she bought "keto" pills off of a pop up ad for what was supposed to be $10 and they charged her a lot more.

To say I was beyond mad at her stupidity was an understatement. I could care less about the money but you're really going to take pills from goodness knows who with whatever in them? I don't think she took any but my gray hair has gotten more voluminous. You know what to do to get yourself healthy. You have all the time and money in the world to do it. It's aggravating when they just want to be happy and who can deny them that? At least she asked me who my yoga girl is on YouTube so here's hoping she's trying that instead.

I hope your mom gets to feeling better soon and answers the wakeup call. :hugs::hbeat: Parents!

Aw man. How frustrating ugh.
On a side note - which yoga girl do you like?

I hope today is good to you. I'm glad to hear you are treating yourself well and feeling special with your two bags today. I hope you feel a little better each day.

I hope you enjoy your bike! I get out on mine fairly regularly to change up my exercise some. We have Trek bikes, but I just bought a fairly basic model that was ready to go (this was several years back), and it has done well. We haven't done anything to them other than fill the tires occasionally. Glad the trip went well!
