Thanks Shirley. Just wondering what to do next. I am not losing and I need some change0

Brrr, a cold start to the day but glorious sunshine and blue skies so not complaining. George and I walked on our own so took the old route we used to travel pre-Scruff and had a wonderful time with stunning views across miles of countryside. Now just finishing my coffee before making a plan for the day.
Buzz ~ What you're doing is going to be exhausting emotionally and physically so do take a break when you can.
Of course you know that envelope will turn up the minute the new ones arrive but what can you do? A couple of weeks ago I thought I'd lost my mobile phone, waited a few days then ordered a new one which turned out to be rubbish and of course then found the original. The new one is now in a drawer waiting for some sort of emergency!
Decision made, I'm heading for the garden because today's forecast has warned of a colder than usual winter coming up so I'd better make the most of 6c temperatures!!
Have a good Monday everyone.

Pretty nippy and frosty on our early walk, 3C, but sunny and a promise of 16C this afternoon, so not complaining either! Our views were not exactly stunning Jackie, but the trees are. Gorgeous colours. The man who called my beautiful little dog a 'rat on a leash' was lurking behind a bush in his garden and made us jump out of our skins when he boomed "good morning". I graciously said good morning back and added "I'm taking my rat for a walk." Grrr.
Well, I better go and start cooking Jillys next two days of meals, or I will be in the dog house!

Every other shred of paper is where it should be, but the envelope I knewexactly where to find, that one is missing! I'll have to send for replacements, and I guess it's best to stop hunting and keep on working on just folding and shredding and getting stuff donated! I hoped his sweater collection would be enjoyed by friends, but no one here wears a medium! Sorry, but I must grab a bite and get to bed ASAP! Simply tired as can be! Buzz
Buzz, I hope you did get some rest. So sorry that important papers are missing. That is so frustrating. Hugs to you.

Back later, but a phone call to the pension company was so helpful, I wanted to share it. I was told that in place of a marriage certificate, a 1040 tax return showing we filed as a married couple, plus the cover page of a bank statement showing a joint account would be just fine!!! Phew! Buzz 3

A beautiful day here to celebrate Marie's birthday!! Marie, please be careful on your plant food diet, keep your sugar readings in check, ok? You reminded me that I have sweet potatoes and some beets I can roast them with carrots and red potatoes tonight. I love the color of beets.
Chris, I belong to a group on Facebook for truckers who cook while traveling. I'm learning I'm only limited by my laziness.
One guy posted a photo of his meal in a truck stop. It was a steak(think sirloin, maybe 6oz), broccoli, and squash/zucchini. He said he had 5 meals per day. 3 are shakes, two are like the photo. I'm thinking about it. If I could sip a shake while driving, it might eliminate my need for nervous snacking, which is my worst enemy. He uses premier protein shake in banana. They are in Walmart. He gave some numbers, for him, 60 carbs max per day, and 100 grams of protein as his goals. Since June, he's lost about 50 lbs. Of course, there are many variables, he's a man, they lose faster, his numbers are for about a 280 lb male.
Buzz, hugs to you!
I would have figured many people could wear a medium, I'm surprised. I lose more than I find! For example, I lost the tickets to the airshow we attended. I bought two more.
You just go at your own pace, a little or a lot, but please don't exhaust yourself. Take breaks, enjoy some sunshine, a fresh piece of fruit. Love you.
Lin, I hope they have suspects in the police killings there. We've got to turn this around or we'll be afraid to go out on our own. Our police will be hesitant to respond to calls from the areas where they are being targeted. Then the innocent will really suffer. I've enjoyed your puzzles and colorings. Even with a piece missing. www.bitsandpieces.com . This is a website/catalog with some nice puzzles. I get one catalog per year. Love the ideas they give me. And for you and Sandy, a puzzle board with storage! Costly, but I may get it so I can work around my cats! I think they used to have more puzzles. I like them all though!Shirley/b], you, Jeri, Anne, and Jackie have such a blessing in your country's healthcare programs. This is the first year that our employer insurance has deteriorated to the point where it is an emergency plan instead of healthcare plan. Higher deductible, and big cuts in coverage = find other solutions to non life threatening issues.
Sandy, so glad you're still getting some time with Robby. Hope everything is going well with Lisa and the baby. My friend's mother started having dizziness and some other symptoms. She had a MRI. They are waiting to hear from the doctor. Hope Babe will get his problems solved. Hate to think he might have to live with them. (Now that wasn't meant to be a pun, but think about it.. lol) Again, glad you got time with your other baby, Daisy.
Marcella, this weather is Perfection!! Hope your house plans all turn out well done. Glad you made it thru your tire troubles safely. Sometimes while driving , I will notice several cars within a few miles, pulled over with flat tires. I wonder if it is people throwing nails on the roads. I never find out, since I keep driving, but it's noticeable when several vehicles have flats.
Hi Karen, hope to see more of you. I remember your Church burned. Whatever came of that? Did you rebuild? Catch us up on your life now.
Patsy, you picked a good time to visit your doctor, election day!! Hope it goes well for you. Does your doctor have you get labwork before your appointment? Mine does. So far, good reports except my b12 stays too low. I give myself injections.
My vit D is too high, so I know the capsules work. Had to lower my dosage.
Hug Katie for me.
Anne, if a rat she must be, then your little rat is the poster child for them all!! I think of you and your little beanie baby often. We saw a tiny chihuahua wearing a tutu! So cute but probably not practical, maybe Mom wants to get all she can from her Halloween costume. :-D. Your meal sounded delicious. I'm hungry.
Jackie, I can sympathize with your menagerie when Brady is stuck inside. Like a kid who gets bored when it's raining. Our cats who would rather sleep are pestered by Okie, who would rather chase them. Good gardening wishes to you. Hope this year is not like your previous, all those sandbags!! How do you tell a chicken to get indoors before this door closes?? Lol, as I typed the word chicken, my automatic word suggested 'whisperer' as the next possible word. Chicken whisperer?? Lol, first time I ever got a laugh from the suggested word.
Just called my dentist for an appointment. Tomorrow. A bit of a toothache. Not bad, but it could get worse if I delay and I am a wimp big time re: toothaches.
Honey is dreaming, little 'woofs'. Yesterday, in the truck, she had a happy dream. The only thing moving was her tail wagging. I hope she has happy dreams all the time now. I've enjoyed her. I have no regrets.
Lunchtime!
Phoebe
Sorry if I missed you, next time
PS, somehow got bold half way thru. Too lazy to correct it :-)0 -
Oh! Oh! Marie! A very happy birthday to you! You have a special place in our heart. Your as sweet as your sweet potatos and twice as nice. Hope your day is filled with happiness and many many more just like them.

I will be leaving shortly for the diet clinic. I will let you know how it went whomever is interested.
Just finished lunch after practicing choir for tomorrow.

Happy Monday!
Beautiful day here!! Cleaning girl is here, laundry is being done and a bill was paid. The church breakfast was a success and my friend was grateful for three of us friends to help serve.
Tomorrow is the official voting day and I am still not sure for whom to vote. I am so tired of the political posts on face book, do they honestly think they can change my vote to theirs? People and some of them my relatives are just getting so mean just because they think they are picking the right person. Maybe I will just toss a coin. Not really, I think I have decided for whom I will vote but in all honesty I really don't like either. Maybe I should just write my name in and see what happens. lol
Marie, I hope you liked your new doctor and can enjoy the rest of your birthday with Alice.
You are our monarch and this day should be special.
Shirley, good luck at the diet clinic, I really have to get back on the stick before I am back to the beginning. I know for sure I have to ride my bike and if I could get back in the habit of recording my food that would be wonderful.
Phoebe, yes, babysitting does have it rewards and spending time with Robby is first. So far all looks good with the pregnancy except for the possibility of gestational diabetes. Lisa tested a little high so Wednesday she is going for the extended testing. She is not worried as she said the same thing happened with Robby. One more ultrasound in December and we will continue to pray for a healthy baby who is due in January.
Cleaning girl has to get in my office to clean, have a great afternoon and evening.

Jackie, Diane asked me to share this with you since you aren't on Facebook.
She thought it would be perfect for your walks with George!!

Wow, I looked it up and read the happy customers comments and photos, and after a first smile, I think it's a great idea! Wonder if muddymutts make them in Jillys size? She's very close to the ground and gets sopping wet.

Sandy- I saw that dog coat on Facebook, its really cute, and I bet it would work for any dog especially in muddy, rainy weather. A perfect idea for little George.
Well I have returned from the clinic and saw the doctor again as you do at every visit. I told him I had a heart murmer when he started to listen to my heart, which I have had as a kid. He said I should be having Echo's done every 2-3 years. Well I guess my doctor slipped on that one. I have had two in the past but I guess I am due again. I handed in my diaries from MFP and the lady I talked with said I am making good food choices except that I am low in Protein and Fiber. So I guess I have to up those two food categories. Next week's apt. I will be given a food plan to start with, with calories ranging from
1200 to 1300.
Marie - I hope you are having a fabulous day! I saw your picture on Facebook and you are looking good!

A very busy day. Highlights---laundry, conversation with my agent regarding next year's Rx and Canadian pharmacies, call to LTC administrator for information to help me make a decision, a trip to pick up a gift that I won in a recent drawing (yippee!), hours of research and phone calls pertaining to replacing the missing baking pans at church, some online banking and worked on a jigsaw puzzle, played a game of scrabble and started to read a new book. Some little sweet potatoes are cooking now.
Tomorrow is Mah Jongg morning and coloring in the afternoon. My church is holding their annual turkey dinner and craft/bake sale on Saturday. I am lining up little things to take along for the craft sale (things we needed last year and had trouble finding such as card stock, pens, tape, change box is ready, oh and extra pricing labels and a small notebook as well). Will be a busy week me thinks.
Phoebe, it has been a very unsettling week here with the deaths of the officers. Lots of sadness, crying, upset, and a feeling that you don't know what to do. The suspect aka coward got his truck stuck in the mud in a rural area. He flagged down a DNR officer and surrendered saying he was sick. They took him to the hospital and he was not charged until the hospital discharged him some days later. He has appeared in court with bail set at $5 million cash on each count of murder. The first funeral was today and the public was barred from the service. Only family and law enforcement were allowed in as I understand it. So yes, a man has been arrested and I do believe people are saying he has mental problems.
So I have babbled too long, time to check the taters!! Hugs to everyone.

I hope there will be fewer emails after tomorrow, and I hope our country will truly remember what we stand for and who we are and come together to heal and fix and grow into the promise that was always America!
PHOEBE, our message department has reduced your name to a number! I could not believe the problem I had messaging you! Thank you so much!
Little by little, things are getting done, cleared out, shredded or simply discovered after years of being forgotten. Oh my, the memories!
Forgive me for not addressing each one of you individually tonight; my eyes will not remain open! I will return to my usual self soon! I hope you know how much you are part of my life! Buzz 2 -
Thanks to Sandy and Diane, that's hilarious and I can just imagine a grumpy George in such attire!! I'll definitely keep them in mind, especially if our winter is as cold and wet as threatened. Anne, watching our lunchtime news and forecast I'm sure I spotted an area of white on the weather map over the shoulder of the presenter which could be you!! As for the news, all I can say is thank goodness the US elections are drawing to a close because I'm exhausted by it all and don't even get to vote! LOL Good luck to you all whatever the result.
This morning was our swimming meet and I've since been pottering about at home but in an hour I must take George for a walk because first thing was a short one. Cold rain beginning to fall so I'm planning the local woods where we'll get a bit of shelter. Then it's my weekly yoga class which after so much gardening yesterday afternoon is going to be a struggle! Now off to the kitchen sink to wash up breakfast and lunch items and probably light the stove because it's getting chilly.
