Doing better than I thought and a pretty weed

@MarshaMusselman yes my kids and I are always out doing things in the summer. I enjoy as much time with them as I can get. I am babysitting now though so although my kids are back to school I don't have any more time then I did before. She keeps me pretty busy but I am enjoying it.

@shaggin glad you enjoy your Summers with your kids and now babysitting. My daughter is looking for a sitter for after she returns to work in a year, she's newly pregnant. i plan on working three more years so can't help her out

I've known about the glitch, if that's what it is, for posting off the payment page I just forgot about it. I did hit five dollars yesterday. I'm guessing you do more with your kids when they're home for summer and if that's the case it should get better soon. Unless you need more of a break like some of us and stay away longer. If so, we'll see you when we see you. As far as the plant is concerned it's some sort of weed and growing where we just put a barrier so I needed to get rid of it anyway.

I recognize a catnip when it's not dying as they keep coming up every year. I was surprised to see the red color on this in it's dying stage it was only green when alive.

@MarshaMusselman some plants (weeds) change to autumn colors, there'd be quite a few 'round these parts who're most brilliant 't such. jest green durin' the growin' season.

@crazyhorseladycx I'm sure it didn't turn from the season changed unless killing it caused it to react like it was getting ready for a normal expiration.

We all only have so many hours in each day and while we enjoy spending time here most of us can't do only that. I'm able to be here more right now because I've been off my main job on short-term disability after having my second knee replacement on the other leg. Because I'm a cashier and because it's my knee I get three months off. I get a little bit of my pay but it's about $150.00 less than the normal when I'm working. What part did you not know? The thing about not writing a post from the payment screen? It should be where you can't even access the dialog/writing box from there. But I know nothing about coding a web page and am not going to pick about that.

@MarshaMusselman yes. I just hit the discuss button on my main page. never knew there was a place you can't on here. not fun being off when you are in pain and not making as much money hope you recover well and shortly.

@bunnybon7 I'm not in much pain. It's between mostly discomfort. But since I'm a cashier standing eight hours isn't good on a new knee and that's why I get the time off. I do pay for disability insurance at work but it's only a portion of my pay after taxes and insurance deductions. I am making a little through our business but not as much if I could help with the work. I expect to return to work next month. Thanks for your concern.

@MarshaMusselman

It really is. It's probably good that it wasn't this pretty before I tried killing it, lol.

@MarshaMusselman that's good.

It only wanted to load and I've not had any problems here even when using data and not WiFi. That's when I realized I wrote the thing in the won't page. One I saw that I called and pasted it to a new dialog box after going to a different pages on mylot. Once I moved it posted right away.

It may be the normal color of that weed in the fall I normally pulling them before then so never noticed it's fall color before. I have only two cents to go so I know I'll be fine even if I'm not here much until next week. My brother is visiting from AZ and I won't be here when I'm with family. I was going to take a nap but I'm having a few nuts and am not feeling so tired anymore. Maybe I'll be fine. I need to prepare some eggs so we can finish out macaroni salad to take for supper tonight. I got cleared to begin working out while still having physical therapy. There are a few machines I'll have to wait to use. One I can use after six months and a few others after a year. But there are plenty of other ones I used. I try to work my arms along with my legs and and behind.

@MarshaMusselman I'm glad you're cleared to work out again.

@just4him I've been working out there for approx a month I'm guessing. Once I began driving again and taking my crew to jobs I got more limber. I'm surprised that helped me get to the place where I could bend my knee when more. I may be having a few issues with inflammation on the inside of my knee but I may need to see my Dr to talk about that more. My pt person told me I had a muscle inside that was still healing but I recently talked with my sisters son's wife who is also a PT and she told me there are no muscles under the knee cap just tendons and ligaments if they weren't removed. She thinks something is inflamed. Now I'm interested in finding out who is correct. I know some people will tell you what they think you'll understand instead of what's really going on. I don't get why they do that but I know that it happens.

I usually try to pull all my weeds before summer is over so I rarely see them with their fall garments on.

I thought I'd be here a lot more after my surgery but its not been until this month that I was here a lot. I must have done better that I thought, though, those other months since my last payment was in May. Last year since I only got paid twice I must have been here a lot less than ever before. I expect I'll be going back to work in a few weeks so my time here might diminish again or it could stay about the same since I did better before surgery already.

I'm sure it's helping a lot. Eventually I hope to ride my bike that I bought and then found my knees were worse than I thought. I was able to accomplish an exercise today that I've wanted to do for awhile but was chicken and that was use the leg press with just my right leg which had the newest knee replacement. I couldn't do many reps but at least got a few in. And now I know I will be able to do that from here on out.
