Terri - also - congrats on the WI - every lb or ounce is one less.0

Good morning, everyone! Things have been CRAZY in my life. I'm moving Saturday! UGH! Soooo much stuff to do. Did lose a lb for my WI this morning, so I'm happy about that. But this move has me so stressed. My face is breaking out from it, but I'm not over eating. I could use a couple able bodies to help move if you feel so inclined! lol Right now it's just me, my 17 year old son, my 23 year old daughter and my 4'10" sister-in-law. This is going to be interesting. That's for sure. I put out an email to my grad students requesting help but no one has offered to help yet. UGH!
Have a great day, everyone!
I wish I were closer (I'm in TX)...but moving is great exercise. I have helped two people from work move, and I have an offer out at the office if anyone wants moving help...I'll be there. It is harder when there are few people doing the moving...so, take care, prioritize, hang in there. Congrats on your new place!0 -
I am so sorry to hear about Shirl. I know she had health problems, but she also seemed active and full of life. I know she was filled with kindness and love. I am shocked, and my heart goes out to her family, and to all of you who knew her even better.
Hi Jan! So good to hear from you.
After I got done crying, I pictured Shirl's spirit flying around visiting each of us to see all that we had talked about (our fridges, pets, families, hobbies), and continue to cheer us on. We still have her in our hearts!
Hugs, Val0 -
San Antonio is finally in the 60s at night and 80s in the day...supposed to get some rain over the next few days because of that low pressure system in the gulf. Houston always gets the rain worse than SA.
I didn't walk any of the dogs today...Oscar (dog) is moving around the house well today. As a heads-up, when it is his time to go, I will be a crying mess...I seriously love that dog...he's helped me through some really hard times. (Crap...I'm already crying...but he's okay.)0 -
Hi
It was in the forties this morning when I went out for my walk. I am thinking of going to the nearby party store to see what they carry tomorrow morning.
Have a Good Week

Hi Buttons
In one way with her health issues I was not completely surprised but still saddened.

I decided to just wear it during active periods...Good morning, everyone! Things have been CRAZY in my life. I'm moving Saturday! UGH! Soooo much stuff to do.

Having just moved myself last weekend - I can feel your pain! Perhaps the grad students would work for beer?
Hi
Sometimes I prefer not knowing too, it keeps me from worrying and losing sleep. That sleep tracking and size is one reason I chose the Fitbit Zip, Nice and small and when the battery runs down I throw it away and install the spare No remembering to charge it. Same type of reason I like this Cell phone, I get days on one charge.
Cheers

Hi Val
I was hoping not to depress anyone, obviously I did not succeed. I weighed letting everybody know vs letting them think she just dropped out of the group.

Good morning, everyone. This move is killing me! lol You don't realize just how much stuff you actually have until you move. UGH! Just my bedroom and bathroom to pack up then it's time to hit the basement and go through all of it. Need to get rid of a bunch of stuff. Goodwill is going to love me in the next few days. lol I haven't been on plan this week. Been trying but not succeeding too much. I totally can't wait until this move is over so things will get back into a normal rhythm again. Hopefully sooner than later.
Have a great day everyone!0 -
Hi
I walked this morning + 1 Whole Penny
It was a better day than yesterday outside during the walk, I ended up taking the gloves off and my hands were OK that way.
Have a Good Day
Roger
Hi Terri
Good Luck with the moving. I think that in my area at least if You have a lot to donate including furniture they pickup. I know the Lupus people do.
Cheers

Hi
Walked this morning, The temperature was OK, Slightly colder than Yesterday but not bad. Then later after breakfast I cleaned some of the Nuts I have picked up and set them to dry, cracked a few from a earlier cleaning run.
Have Good Thursday

Hi everyone. Had a rough week...we have a temp employee who knows nothing, and refuses to do anything our regular folks tell her to do. Very frustrating! San Antonio is supposed to get heavy rain tonight thru tomorrow night... Very glad I intentionally chose to live on high ground!0

Hi
Went walking today & 25 Cents right up the street from my house.
It was a bit chilly this morning, Still only 48 degrees at 10:30AM Too.
Have a Nice Weekend

Hi Val
I have been there dealing with that type of employee and the only trick is to make sure they do not shift blame for problems to others. They tend to move one fairly quickly too.
I do not blame you for feeling glad about where You chose to live. I do feel sorry for those who bought without researching elevations first. Builder will build anywhere they can whether it is a good spot or not and hope the period before flooding lets them off of the hook. Flood Maps are only a rough guide, 100 year floods can still strike and in the nature of things more often than 100 years between
I have seen the weather maps, Stay Dry

Hi
I decided to take a off day from walking, not a great looking day outside
Grocery Shopping and cleaning day instead.
Have a Nice Sunday

Good morning. My family had no impact from all the rains. I think we ended up with 6-7". My Oscar (dog) is feeling better...he's walking well and even insisted on jogging a bit.0

Roger, you are so right...she did that; she threw our team under the bus during a management review meeting where the writers (my team) are on the call but not allowed to speak. Our boss is back from vacation today!
My choice for high ground was made after I talked w the local Red Cross (I had never lived in a hurricane prone area). I'm also grateful I had a choice!
Hope everyone has a good week!0 -
Hi
I decided to walk yesterday afternoon after all as the light rain had moved on earlier.
I walked today too. It was a fair amount cooler than yesterday, 43 degrees showing on the front porch.
Have a Good Day

Hi Val
I'm glad to hear that with that much rain You had no problems!
Sorry to hear that I was right regarding the Temp employee. Hopefully You can get things fixed to remove her with the Boss coming back today.
That was a very smart move talking to the Red Cross. They are most likely the best source for that sort of information.
Have a Nice Day

Walk/jogged 7.5 miles today! Feeling re-invigorated to get my weight moving the right direction and get stronger. Feeling good! I climbed my other tree today w my pruners and hacksaw. I did a rather nice job trimming it. Shoulder is a little sore, but a good kind if sore.0
-
I love my boss...she's supportive and protective of me and our team. I sent her an email Sunday night welcoming her back...and explaining the highlights of all that temp had done. My boss reaffirmed how valuable I am to her and the team and was sorry to hear of my dreadful experience, acknowledging the inappropriateness of what happened. Three others also emailed her about that woman. Boss had a talk w temp. It got her attention. during today's call in meeting, I was polite and spoke up about my concerns over the proposal (nothing about that person, but just how to make our product the best we can)....and my team also spoke up supporting my concerns, and she was silent.0

Hi
I was out walking earlier, About an hour later than Yesterday as It was around 35 Degrees at 7AM
Nice Looking day so far, Rain on the way for Wednesday into Thursday however.
Have a Nice Tuesday

Nice job of taking the wind out of her sails
With the others saying the same thing it is hard to defend against.
Congratulations on Your walk

I am still not back on a routine. It has been a week of chaos. Monday my horse, P-nut, had choke. (He eats too fast, you can tell he's in my family.) The food gets stuck in his esophagus. The vet checked him out, and it was cleared and he was put on antibiotics in case of pneumonia. I went to church on Weds. and while I was there he layed down and would not get up. The place I board treat the horses like their own horses, or children. They called the vet and had him up and going by the time I got there. The vet said he was impacted. I had time to get him to a non mobile vet, but could not decide. It is almost impossible to tell without surgery, and that runs $7- $10,000 dollars. It was 10 pm by this time, and he seemed to be doing better. I walked him straight for 15 hours, all night and some of the morning. I sat twice for a few minutes, and checked on my dogs twice, while my friends watched him. He was going to the bathroom good- I was watching all nite, but he was sweating again around 3 pm and the vet suggested I put him to sleep. Not my best choice and not what I was hoping. He was such a good boy, and I felt so bad I had not been with him as much the last 2 years that have been so hard and tiring. It happened so fast I still have not processed it. He was ornery but still sweet to the last, and went with kisses and apologies. Love on all the fur babies as much as you can. Their days are not always promised to us either. But I can honestly say I have never been so blessed to be loved by my "animal kingdom", as I have in this lifetime. I will have a field of animal family to meet on the other side. I do not know how God does it, but I know he does.....Maybe one day people will be as wonderful as animals.0

Oh Jan, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad you got to spend time with P-nut at the end. So happy that your boarding place loved him as their own too. You and I will be super popular with all the animals on the other side! Hugs, Val0 -
To all of you wonderful people, I say thank you for your encouragement, examples, and support...I hit the 70-pound loss mark today!!! Feeling good and strong. 0

Hi
Not walking today, I got going late and it is already wet outside, A Off day since my last one I was going to take did not happen should not hurt me one bit Crossed Fingers.
It is a Gloomy looking day outside too, I should be able to walk tomorrow as the worst of today's rain is later on into the overnight and it should be gone or going by Thursday morning. If not then I'll be out in the late morning to afternoon on Thursday.
Update: Laundry is now started and looking to Vacuum once the Day puts more light in the Living Room
Have a Nice Day

Hi Buttons
What a sad thing, You have my Sympathy for our Loss. I wish I had the right words to say but I never Know what to say. Death of any kind is hard for me and I know it must be even harder for You.
Be Safe

Hi Val
What a terrible thing for Jan, I feel so sad for her.
However, Congratulations on Your weight loss, I am teetering on the brink of another of my Mini goals. That being able to move the 50 pound weight down a notch on the balance beam scale I use.
Have a Nice Day
Roger0 -
Good morning, everyone! Boy that move did me in. Diet-wise, mentally, and physically. Just now getting over it. So glad it's done. Now just have to get rid of all those danged boxes!! lol My back deck is full of them.
Been totally off plan for the last week and gained 6 lbs back! Ugh! Taking the rest of this week off but I am so back on plan come Monday! I'm going to do it this time! I have sidewalks to walk on at my house so I'm going to make use of them. Where I was before didn't have them and every car speeded through the area so much that I wouldn't have trusted being out there walking.
Have a great day, y'all!0 -
Hi
I got out and walked this morning, T-Shirt weather
A shame today is not Halloween, The day is so nice with the rain out of the area.
Have a Nice Day
Roger
Hi Terri
Where I walk depends on the time of day too. Today for example I got out of the house at 8AM so I chose my route to have sidewalks and be able to cross our local highway at the Traffic Lights for safety. If I had gone our earlier I would have had a wider range of choices of where to walk. As an example I do not want to be going past the schools as the amount of people dropping off their kids makes getting across the streets somewhat treacherous.
So I understand completely why You did not want to walk where cars speed.
Cheers

Congrats on completing the move! Hurray for sidewalks...makes a very nice difference. Cars speed around my neighborhood too...I prefer early early morning when they are still asleep or just getting ready for the day. Evenings here are the worst...all sorts of surprises and people and loose animals. Too much to manage sometimes w my doggies.
One of my quirky habits really paid off today. Before we cross any street, I always tell my doggies "Wait" and they wait until I say "Cross." When we have to go around any of the dozen or so cars that park across the sidewalk, I say "street" (to go into the street, but not cross it) and "Up" (back on the sidewalk) when we get around the car. I always have them on leashes, so this was just a good quirky habit. Well...this morning, it saved Duke's life....I accidentally dropped his leash and he ran to the corner (ahead of me). I said "Wait" and he did!!! And then a car sped by. Then I got hold of his leash and said "Cross." I never expected to be in that situation...a loose dog that knows he wants to cross that street...and a car coming. But he listened...and Duke is really the least likely of my dogs to obey.
I need to eat and then run to the hardware store. Oh, hmm...just remembered it is supposed to rain tonight. I'll have to think about that!
Hope you all have a super evening an day tomorrow.
Val0 -
Hi
I got out walking this morning at 7:40, temperature around 58 degrees when I started, Nice clear sky too. Warming up nicely into the high 50s. I believe I will do a shorter walk Tomorrow as I expect to be up and down for Trick or Treaters.
Have a Nice Friday

Hi Val
Good Job on training the dogs. Your patience paid off.
BTW I would not call that a quirky habit, I would call it common sense
The One problem I have had lately walking is that I see cars idling in their driveways and The back windows are still fogged up, You do not know if they will back out when You are behind them or not.
Cheers

Been waiting on a call from the bank on a holiday loan. It is nerve racking, for sure! If it weren't for me wanting to give my kids a good Christmas I wouldn't be dealing with them. I HATE dealing with banks! lol
Anyways, have a great weekend and Halloween, everyone!0 -
Hi Terri
Good Luck with the bank
Have a Good Weekend and Holiday too

Last night after my post, I went to lowes and bought 400 pounds of rocks n dirt. Then feeling invincible, I carried each 50 pound bag 100' to my back yard. Then a hot bath n a hot cup of tea. Well my back started hurting so badly...fortunately my friend the heating pad was there for me...no pain or stiffness this morning! Then 3" rain plus nearby tornados so no wog today. Trying to get my steps in tonight at home.
Thx Roger. It would be smart to officially train them with those commands. But I really have not...I've just conditioned them to word associations. I went from terror to relief in those couple seconds...so thankful it worked out and Duke is safe.
I have officially trained them all to "go home!" Since that's often what people say to a loose dog.0 -
Hi
I did a shorter than usual walk today, since I expect to be getting up and down and going to the door a lot with Trick or Treaters
17 degrees colder in nearby Somerville, Frost on everything and Cold outside.
During my walk today on four of the streets were trees that had been TP'd, One street with Broken Eggs and On Street that had empty Shaving Cream Aerosol cans laying on it. The Last evening before Halloween is called Mischief Night. Some Years I had to clean soap off of the car windows to drive to work. Luckily Our street was not touched the last few years.
Have a happy Halloween

Hi Val
IMO That is still training. I learned my Driver License Number from having to write it several times a day when I worked the one job back in the 70s.
That sort of carting is why we bought a Cart to move things. It has two wheels in front and two legs back by the handle. The two wheels makes it more stable than a wheelbarrow. It has a section that overhangs the front wheels that makes it easy to load so that the Wheels do the carrying and not the handles.
Glad to hear that The Heat Pad worked, Back pain can be a killer

Love the pics...artistic w a spooky edge. You're such a good guy...getting and disbursing candy. I didn't buy and...put a note in the door "sorry-no candy." I uses to, but the second year at this house we were outside chatting a nice neighbors when a group of wild young adults came and took Em's (9 years old) candy and took my bowl with all the candy. I don't need that...do that was the lady time. I do really love the way your neighbors decorate!0
