[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1971846, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=488270]@SlimLizzy[/USER], As understandable as your weight loss maybe, have you discussed it with your doctor ? She/he might wish to just check there is not something else contributing ?? thyroid gland etc ?? There are probably times you may wish to learn how to swear in French just to relieve the tension (and nobody is likely to know what you have said)! You sound like the sort of person how prefers activity over stillness. It there a possible sewing project you could begin to decorate the new accomodation with? Provided it is safe, do some photography during your walks ? Learn about cropping, enhancing photos on the computer. Does your locality have a local walking group (or photography or some other interest group) you could join? Do a joint activity with your hubbie. With retirement he might get under your feet a bit so he will need activities also. My absolutely and totally completely unbiased suggestion (ahem)! is that he and you look at kite patterns and divvy up the tasks. You can sew, he could deal with the spars etc and you both fly it (Well, that involves a second kite so there is no 'debate' over who flys the one kite most). Maybe there is a kite club nearby or another club of a different pastime or activity. Even if the weather is inclement (like possibly in the present season) or you are engaged with caring for parents, the designing, cutting out, sewing etc can still be done (and I can assure you there are always kite lines to untangle )!! In any case look at 'my-best-kite.com' for fun. The kites there are inexpensive to make and there is lots of general information. ( how good is your husband at doing knots )? Whatever you decide on, enjoy it, be involved as much as you can, use it to distract yourself from the 'slings and arrows of outrageous fortune". For humour - the sky is the limit - Victor Borge anyone ? Best Wishes :):):) [/QUOTE]
