    Hi
    I was out walking for 10.6K Steps, The temperature is 46 degrees. I thought I had felt a couple of dops of rain as I neared the house, Now a few minutes later it has started drizzling. I must have just beat the rain home :)
    It is and has been a dark dreary day out. Walking past the stream below the park I see our Heron is still there fishing in the stream.

    Have a Great Thursday

    Good morning.
    Had another check up with the perio this a.m. All is well. He was surprised at all the infections I got after the antibiotics. Thank goodness I'm over most of that.
    Irene, glad all went well with the Dr.
    Roger, very happy you're well and happy. :grin:
    Jo, fingers crossed for you for a good work environment.
    Got to skip the gym this morning, have acupuncture scheduled for late this afternoon.
    The sun is out! Yay!!!!!
    Looking forward to a nice day.
    Hi Vix
    I would have been surprised by the infections too, The Antibiotics are supposed to prevent that happening. Hopefully they were not serious.

    Good luck with the dentist, Irene.
    Good job on the diet, Jo.
    Roger, today's the last mild day around here for a while(partly sunny)....will be going down to the 30s starting tomorrow, so I hope you get a nice walk in.
    I'm going to painting class and have a rheumatologist appt this afternoon. Really looking forward to less Drs. appts!
    Have a good day everyone.

    Well, No sun here so far, it is a darkish cloudy day.

    Enjoy Your Day

    Good afternoon;
    After a gloomy start to the day, the sun is now out. :)
    Irene-good luck at the dentist.Good news that the test were all normal.
    Vix-great news from the perio.
    Roger-congrats on finding a cent. I have not found any money in a while.
    I have lost the few # of water weight I put on over the weekend, now on to losing a few more #'s.
    Enjoy your afternoon.

    Hi Joanne
    It was the first money since last week as I remember when I last found something. Making a quick count I seem to have found 64 cents so far this year. I throw all the found money into a shallow wooden bowl.

    Good Luck on a speedy loss

    good morning, well I went for our walk this morning so I got in 8500 steps I have pretty much been getting my steps in. Well yesterday we notice the flashing on our roof has gotten turn loose I had to call the insurance company to start a claim hope they don't take long to come and fix it ,it had to be from the strong winds we had. Roger I have to take the meds to keep infections down I have a whole list of things I have to do before Drs apt or dentist it is all because of the knee replacement I am guessing with teeth cleaning there is more germs .Well take care all oh I found a penny today so my angel was looking out for me

    Hi Irene
    I look at it as it will be a lucky day when I find money during the walk :)

    I went further today than I planned to walk. It must have been the path I took.

    I hope You get the roof fixed, You do not want any water damage inside the house. When we had the roof replaced they found soft spots in the wood that had to be replaced for hidden water damage that had not made an appearance inside the house.

    Have a Nice Day

    Good afternoon;
    Vix-good luck with the rheumatologist.
    Irene-It is a good thing that you noticed the loose flashing. I hope the insurance company doesn't take too long to fix it.
    Roger- It is drizzling here too.
    I got a phone call last night from NS stating that my frozen food should be here in 3 days, which would make that Saturday.
    Enjoy your afternoon. :)

    Hi all. I'm ok. Hip and knee aren't bad enough yet to need an X-Ray! The doc told me to increase my B12. Offered me some low dose steroids to reduce inflamation to sleep, but I passed on that. Even low dose I would be scared of the side effects. Going back in 4 months...I think he wants to see how this diet thing is doing (I told him what I was doing with the functional medicine doc, exercise, and therapies). :wink: He said people usually need medicine for RA, but I think he's rooting for me to beat it without.
    I baked some chicken on top of fresh veggies for dinner.
    Hope everyone has a good evening. :)

    good morning, We decided to find someone to fix the roof we have a company coming today to look at the roof and give us a price.We would have to spend 1000.00 before the insurance would kick in so we figured to hire someone else our selves we could have it done faster . Last night it sure was windy here and it was raining I did go up in the attic and so far I haven't seen any leaks hopefully they can fix it soon so I don't have to worry about it.I didn't walk this morning was really windy but I have to go shopping so I will get my steps in. My dentist apt went fine now I am good for 6 months. Vix hope the b12 helps that is better than steroids .Vix does your ra give you a lot of pain? I didn't realize you had it. Jo it is hard when you get an new manager most the time they want to change things . Roger stay warm today it is suppose to get colder

    Good morning.
    Good to get the roof fixed, Irene.
    I've got RA, fibromyalgia, other arthritis, autoimmune issues...mostly I try to keep things under control with diet, exercise, massages, acupuncture, chiropractor. I have some days that are bad, but mostly I'm good to go. :)
    THere are some big clouds hanging in the early morning sky, but it looks like the sun is trying to peek through.
    Have a great day, everyone. :)

    Hi
    I was out walking for 8.7K Steps + 1 Shiny & 1 corroded Penny :) The temperature is 41 degrees. I saw a few flakes of snow as I neared the house. I did see 3 Deer run across the road as I was on the outbound leg.

    I also stopped for some Nectarines, A Head of Lettuce, a couple of Bananas and a box of cereal.

    Have a Great Friday

    California man's two vehicles crushed by different trees in different cities on same day posted Jan. 20, 2017
    A California man whose two vehicles were both crushed by trees in different cities on the same day says he feels like "the luckiest guy."

    Georgiy Karpekin said he was at Sacramento City College when strong winds swept over the area Wednesday, leading to an unfortunate discovery in the parking lot.

    "I walked up to my truck and I saw it was 'taco'd' around a tree," he told KTXL-TV.

    Karpekin's truck was indeed "taco'd" -- a fallen tree had reformed the pickup into the shape of a taco shell.

    Karpekin got a ride to his West Sacramento home where he made another shocking discovery -- another tree had fallen on two vehicles parked in front of his house, including his own car.

    "Yeah, and then I come home and two other cars, huh? My luck. I bought a lottery ticket. It didn't win, but..." Karpekin said. "I feel like I'm the luckiest guy. Why? I came out alive. Everything is fine. My insurance is covering it. There's no other way to look at it, right?"

    "You know, life's full of peaks and valleys, man," Karpekin said.

    Karpekin said on Facebook that the damage to the car parked outside his home wasn't as severe as the truck and will soon be completely repaired.

    "You can't help but laugh," he wrote of the ordeal.

    Hi Joanne
    When I get the phone call that my frozen has shipped I know it will arrive that day. Mine ships from Pennsylvania all the way to here in NJ and FedEx does a good job on that short journey.

    Did You order any of the new frozen Items? O l like the taste of the Breakfast crepe, I just need to figure out how to keep the bottom from getting soggy, Other than that it is a winner.

    Stay Dry & Warm
    Roger

    New Humor today too :)

    I would be afraid of steroids too. I hope that diet helps, I know my knees are much less painful with less weight to carry around :)

    There was a beautiful sunrise this morning with red clouds and a large bird flying in a circle at one point in the circle the underside of the wings would glow red from the sunrise.

    Hi Irene
    That sounds like a good idea regarding the roof. Maybe it will be less than the deductible? :)

    It was not bad when I started out this morning, towards the end of the walk the air had a bitter feel to it despite it being a beautiful looking day with lots of Sunshine and Blue Sky.

    Good Luck with the Roof

    Good afternoon;
    Irene-That is great that you didn't have to spend too much to get the roof fixed.
    Roger-I looked for the crepes on the order and didn't see it. I will have to look again.
    Vix--You have a lot going on and it doesn't seem to slow you down.

    Hi
    I was out walking for 9.7K Steps. The temperature is 6 degrees colder than yesterday's 41 degrees.

    Later today I'll be going to the ShopRite to pick up some of the food on sale. $10 for 5 Smart Ones Frozen Entrees. Toss in a coupon for a free one with the purchase of 7 and that works out to be $1.75 each for 8 of them.

    Have a Great Weekend

    Good morning.
    Cold weather moving in.
    Glad that you got your roof fixed, Irene. Always good to find someone who is reliable and reasonable.
    Jo, guess you're getting your NS delivery today...fun.
    Roger, we had sunshine yesterday too...it was great. So far this morning it's overcast again.
    No plans yet for today. Would like to go for a walk later if the sun comes out.
    Happy Saturday! :)

    That is a really good price IMO. You were lucky to find a honest person that did not try and sell the big job.

    Hi Joanne
    The crepes are not showing on the page if You do not have them ordered from what I can see. I just took a look at my order and I see this regarding the two that are ordered for my future order.
    Strawberry Cheese Crepe 2
    This item has low inventory. You can not add more of this item until we replenish this product in our warehouse. Substitutions MAY occur.

    I am guessing that means that one of these reasons apply. Being discontinued or more popular than they anticipated and that they take time to get more in stock as a result. I have one left in the freezer that I think I will have for tomorrows breakfast as a treat.
    I also see the same warning regarding the Whole Wheat Ricotta Crepes Dinner Entree on my order. I'm sensing a theme here :)

    I agree, Irene did Good with her choice of repair person.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Vix
    I see You posted while I was busy doing my posting.

    Unfortunately the weather forecast was correct with the prediction of colder weather moving in, Brr...

    Yesterdays Sunshine in the morning was nice. When The sun is shining I get the warmth from it on me as I sit here typing :)

    Overcast is a good description of the day so far.

    Have a Nice Saturday

    Good afternoon;
    I got my frozen portion of NS yesterday and today when I got home from work my shelf stable was sitting on the steps. I thought the box looked kind of large for the remaining part of my order. I opened the box and it belonged to someone else from Maryland. The shipping label on the box was addressed to me, but the packing slip had a different name. I called NS and they told me to keep the order and that they would also send me out my original order. I got 28 breakfasts,24 lunches,24 dinners and 56 snacks,and 4 boxes chocolate turbo shakes extra.
    I will most likely be delaying my next order.
    Have a good weekend. :)

    Hi
    I was out walking for 10.3K Steps. The temperature is 35 degrees and a nice windless day. The lack of wind means that it felt more comfortable walking than yesterday despite being slightly cooler. There is a slight possibility of snow coming as far north as where I am in my area with south NJ showing as having the snow. There is likely to be snow Tuesday however :(

    Yesterday I went to the ShopRite to pick up some of the food on sale. $10 for 5 Smart Ones Frozen Entrees. Toss in a coupon for a free one with the purchase of 7 and that works out to be $1.75 each for 8 of them. Not a bad price :)

    I had a nice thing happen earlier this week as a type of NSV. I was leaving the Dunkin Donuts Wednesday when a customer leaving behind me complimented me on getting out walking. He mentioned he saw me walking to stay healthy every day. :)

    As I was walking back towards home I saw traffic stopped both ways on a main road, When I got a little closer I saw the reason, a Gaggle of Geese were walking slowly across the road.

    Have a Great Sunday

    I liked the weather better today as the breeze had died away :)

    I agree that the Blue sky has been skipping NJ lately. This morning there are a few high clouds and lots of blue sky.

    Hi Joanne
    Wow, Now You can delay an extra month with all that extra foods. It is a little curious that there were 28 Breakfasts and only 24 Lunches and Dinners. I wonder where the other 4 days of those went. BTW that sounds like a Mens order as the base mens order has 28 snacks and 28 desserts vs I believe the base Womens order only has the 28 snacks :)

    Hopefully You can use all those selections. NS is pretty good that way although You would have thought that a complete order would pay for them to retrieve.

    Score

    Roger-I was really surprised that NS didn't want the order back. The total for the order was over $400. I will eat all the selections even if I don't care for them much, waste not.
    Congrats on the NSV. You are doing great with your walking.
    Irene-The sky here this morning was blue tinged with pink, very pretty. How has you knee been feeling lately?
    Hi Vix-doing anything exciting today?
    I have gone grocery shopping, cleaned the downstairs bathroom,cleaned the microwave and am getting ready to vacuum, other than that I have no plans for the day.

    Hi Joanne
    You sound so much more energetic than I feel.

    I have to agree, waste not want not. There have been a couple of things I just could not eat due to the amount of heat in them. Luckily to avoid waste I can feed them to my brother who thinks they are mild :)

    The Other morning We had a Orangish Red sky and I noticed that one of the Birds circling at one point in the circle the underside of the wings would go red from the Sunrise :)

    As I was walking back towards home I saw traffic stopped both ways on a main road, When I got a little closer I saw the reason, a Gaggle of Geese were walking slowly across the road.

    Good morning.
    Nothing special planned for today. It's still mostly cloudy here...gray. It's in the 30s here for a while. But will get out somewhere later.
    Not cleaning today, my cleaning people are coming Wednesday. I will leave it for them. Will just pick up and get rid of the clutter before then.
    There is a little purple finch (which are actually red...or maybe a house finch) sitting in the spruce tree just outside my window. He's so cute just sitting there....I think he's watching me watching him. :)
    You're all doing great with all the walking and cleaning, etc! I've been lollygagging all morning!
    Have a great day. :smiley:

    Good morning;
    I am off first thing this morning to get my yearly Mammogram. After that I have a few errands to run and then the rest of the day to myself.
    It is currently 23 degrees and will only get to about 30 today, so I don't think I will be doing much outside.
    Have a great day! :)
