Grouped tasks simplify my plans, LadyM and Smile Lee.

Primary Back Stretch happens here, too, Smile Lee. I am a minimalist now, though, until I regain more strength. The short Brain-Body Fitness Floor is about where I am now. Sitting at computer, I do some Arms. Balance might be the next right thing to add in, actually.

Nancy, if you had that hard stick at inner elbow, do wait enough time before arm weights. I feel for you - I know how that can be. You get so protective of arm then. Not surprised it brought up bad thoughts.

Bama, good job having the Dremel tool and being vigilant with ddogs' nails. My dd27 still does our cat, Tobias', nails for us and it is so beneficial. We are hesitant and he senses it, but she is his mother-figure his whole life, moves so quickly with so much authority, lol. He feels confident and lets her do whatever.

Because I have one of those good ol' proactive appts in 7 days - colonoscopy - I had my last fiber-rich meal today for lunch. This is new to us. When HRH had his, there was none of this idea of a week of low-fiber days before the procedure, but it's definitely how they do it now. I look at the list of allowed foods and I don't know how I'm going to manage. I am used to a lot of fiber every day with big salads, greens smoothies. I'll be eating canned carrots, asparagus but just the tips, that sort of thing. HRH says he'll take me out one day for pasta. The day before is going to be a downer, because I also have to go in for platelets to get ready. We will be talking rewards, big time, after those two days. lol

Harriet, I never did our cats’ nails until we got Little Man, whose thumb nail curls and grows into his pad. He doesn’t like it but I manage somehow. Now I try to check all the cats’ paws occasionally to make sure the nails are ok.
Dh just had a colonoscopy and they didn’t limit his diet until the day before the procedure, I wonder if that just changed. His was a few months ago. Wishing you good results and an indulgent meal afterward.

Harriet, I'm cat pedicurist in our house. Fred with growl, hiss and bite, but so long as I ensure he hungry, I can distract him with a pile of dried food. Jude is a little angel and Matilda is a primary donna, yelling before the clippers are anywhere near her nails.
