Hi
I was out walking today and did 8,660 steps. The temperature this morning was 40 degrees according to the cable channels news report and showed 33 degrees on my front porch.
Not to much to report today, It looks like it will be a lazy do nothing day so far.
Have a Great Thursday

Chilly and rainy most of the day, the sun peeked out for a few minutes around 4 pm.
I went and got my hair colored and cut after work today.
I did much better staying on plan today.
Have a good evening.
That sort of sounds like the forecast for tomorrow here in NJ
I may do a shortened version of my normal walking if so.
Have Good Day

Oh, I guess we lucked out....it was sunny and warm here today. I took my car back to the shop, because the horn wasn't working after I picked it up on Monday. They found the loose wire, so that's fixed.
Then I took a couple of my house plants to a friend, and went and picked up some last minute gifts, and a photo album for me. It was so nice out. I didn't mind the running around.
Have a good evening everyone.
Hi Vix
Wednesday the temperature was not bad, however there was a brisk breeze so it felt chilly.
Are these House plants being given away? Last year my brother handed out the extra Sweet Potato and Onions that were ready to plant.
When I was out Yesterday I did pick up some Bananas @ $.039 a pound and some Black Plums that are pretty tasty.
Was the horn working when You took the car in? If so I hope they did not charge You for connecting the loose wire.Good morning.
Colder here today than yesterday and cloudy this morning.
Have fun plant shopping, Irene. I like doing that too.
Off to painting class this morning. I have some straightening up to do around the house in the afternoon.
Enjoy your day, everyone.
And here in NJ the weather is colder too with no breeze and so it was more comfortable walking as I did not have to put the hood up on the hoodie and tie it to keep it on. I did put it up for part of the walk and finished walking with it down.
Enjoy the Painting class. I envy anyone that can paint or draw as all I can manage is a straggly stick figure for people when I try.

Well we decided since the pool people will only tear up the grass with the sand and equipment we decided to wait until the pool is put up and then plant grass we would only be wasting money and time.When I was out shopping yesterday I did pick up a knee pad that I could use while planting flowers and stuff. Starting to get really excited about planting and doing yard work I know you think I am crazy but it will look so nice not sure yet what I will be planting .I will be stopping off and visit some places that have plants at least I can do that while I am waiting for the pool and all the stuff that goes with it. Well today I have 2 Drs apt one of course is for my knee and the other is for just a check up haven't seen to that yet this year. I am looking forward to see what the knee Dr says. Vix sorry you had to go back and have them re hook your horn . At least it was just the horn ,one time I took my car in and they for got to hook up my brake lights . Jo and Roger hi!
Hi Irene
That sounds like a good idea not to do the grass first
When planting since I am sort or lazy, OK actually a lot lazy I try and use perennials that can be planted once and come up year after year. That is why I have two types of Bleeding Hearts planted as an example. The one blooms after the other is done blooming. When Shopping look for things that either bloom all year or sequentially.
The brake lights not working is a biggie. As rarely as I use the horn I might have never noticed it was not working.
Good Luck at both of the doctors today
Roger0 -
Hi, yes, they connected the horn for free and apologized for it. They're really pretty nice over there. And yes, I am giving some house plants away. Mine overgrew the space inside that I allotted for them, and I have pots that I've made to put them in. We will put the coleus outside when it warms up a little more, but I still have too many plants! I'm going to put some more clippings in pots so I can give those away too.
We also put mostly perennials outdoors. It's nice that they come back each year, and I love when areas get filled up with flowers like the daffodils.0 -
Good afternoon;
I have mostly perennials in my yard also. It is so much easier than planting each year.
I do put annuals in pots on my front steps and a few on the deck out back. On another note about plants, my christmas cactus is still blooming. It first started to bloom around Thanksgiving.
Irene-I hope you got good news at the Dr.
Roger-I can't draw either,even my stick figures look sad.
Vix-That is a nice gift, especially in a hand made pot.
I am currently doing laundry and puttering around the house cleaning.
Have a good evening. 0 -
Good morning.
40, gray, and raining here. Off to zumba gold this morning. Will probably do some laundry and a little cleaning this afternoon. Have a busy weekend coming up.

Good morning , good news from the Dr ,he took e-rays and no damage done he thinks it is scar tissue nothing showed up in the x-ray he did give me something for the pain I was taking advil but he told me to stop but the truth is it wasn't helping any ways. I have to take them 3 times a day with food so far no difference . Ice seems to help more I am to just rest as much as I can and to stay home from work until april 10 th no ladders and try to stay away from steps not sure if amazon will go for it .We do a lot of work on ladders I will find out as soon as I get the papers from the dr.I also went and had a physical every thing looks good I need to fast so I can get bolod work done . But I am happy nothing was wrong. My plans for today is take Annie in to get her nails done . I always take her to our vet so it isn't so bad for her,she hates getting her nails done. have a great day . Oh I plan on getting perennials I am not one that wants to keep replacing plants.0

Hi
I was out walking today and did 6,350 steps. The temperature this morning was 39 degrees and and there had been rain falling before I went out the door. It had stopped and then started once again shortly after I left the house. The heavier rain is supposed to be moving in later according to this mornings weather forecast.
Have a Great Friday
RogerAnd I did it once again, more humor posted this morning

Hi Vix
I had a suspicion that would be the explanation for the plants.
Coleus are easy to root as I remember too.
Perennials are a bargain IMO, Buy once and enjoy for yearsGood morning.
40, gray, and raining here. Off to zumba gold this morning. Will probably do some laundry and a little cleaning this afternoon. Have a busy weekend coming up.

It is not a surprise to me that Your area is also gray and rainy.
Enjoy the Zumba, I will not say the same for Your Chores
Stay Dry

Hi Irene
Just curious what pain killer did he give You? You do not have to answer
This may mean retirement from the sound of it.
Congratulations on no damage done
I always hated fasting for Blood work, I need to do that for my next doctor visit, fortunately that is another couple of months away.
Have a Good Day
Roger0 -
I just try to get an early morning appt when I have to fast for blood work. Get it over with and come home for breakfast. 0

Good afternoon;
Irene-I am sure you were relieved that there was no damage to your knee. It sounds like you may be retiring sooner than you thought.
It was raining when I came home from work and now it is snowing. We are not supposed to get a lot, but the store sure was busy today.
Roger-thanks for posting the humor. Laughter is the best medicine.
Vix-Enjoy your busy weekend.
I have an appt. with the massage therapist this afternoon. My neck has been feeling good, but my lower back has been hurting.
Enjoy the day and stay dry.

Good morning!
Jo, sorry you are still getting snow. I hope you enjoyed your massage and that it helped your back. Hope the storm misses you.
Today is my 5 year retirement anniversary. I have a wedding shower to go to this afternoon, and tomorrow we will be celebrating my son's birthday (this past Wednesday).
It's 42 and cloudy here, with an expected high of 57.
Happy Saturday, everyone.

Hi Vix
The best I seem to manage is around 10:30 and that is a bit of a stretch since I am up before 6AM to go walking.Good morning!

Hmm... I had not thought about it, however when I do this year is my 5 year retirement anniversary too, Whee
I officially became retired when super-storm Sandy closed the location where I was working a couple of days earlier than originally planned by the businesses owner. I did have a months notice that would happen and a heads up much earlier that it would be happening sooner or later.
Your temperatures sound better than what they are forecasting for here.
Have a Nice Day

I saw the weather forecast and I had a suspicion Your weather would be poor. Panic shopping is well and alive everywhere
Hopefully the Massage Therapist is helping.
I feel the same way and that is one of the reasons I post them, Not to mention I do not even have to search them out, my brother emails me more than I can use
Good Luck with the weather.

Hi Irene
I am sure You will be back walking shortly...
If You were not following it, I agree, canceling it makes sense. Not to mention at some point if You feel the need to go back after a period of time You would probably qualify for the new customer promotions, some of which are a good deal and others not so much.
It is wet here too with more in the forecast and then Tuesday more predicted Yesterday the weatherman mention that there had been rain 6 out of the past 7 days.
$50 and free shipping for frozen. The only drawback to that is losing the discount which in my case is 20%.
Have a nice comfortable day
Roger0 -
Good morning;
Irene-hopefully you will be back to your walks soon.
Vix-Happy birthday to your son. You have a busy weekend planned.
Roger-It has been raining heavily all morning and now it is snowing.
Yesterday on my way to the massage therapist I had a minor car accident. I backed out of my driveway and hit my neighbors's car. She had just backed out of her driveway. I dented her passenger door and damaged my passenger side rear bumper.. I went to the auto body shop today for an estimate. They will send it to the ins. co. on Monday and then we will set up an appt. to have it fixed. It should take 3 days to fix, so I will have to get a rental car.
Have a wonderful weekend. 0 -
Vix sorry I missed it Happy Birthday to your son!. Aw Jo at least no one was hurt.0

Good morning.
Thanks, Irene and Jo...son's birthday celebration will be nice.
Jo, sorry about your accident. Sometimes things just happen. Good that no one was hurt.
Fun wedding shower yesterday. Had my first glass of wine in about 2 months...was soooo good! Got to hang out with my daughter and her friends, which was really nice, and my pottery buddy and her family. Good times.
Sun's out this morning...looking forward to family time today.
Wishing everyone a happy Sunday.0 -
Hi
I was out walking today and did 8.5K steps + 2 cents. The temperature this morning was 40 degrees on the weather forecast and 41 on the front porch, There was a mild wind blowing and overall it was not too bad outside
http://www.cbs46.com/story/35036795/major-fire-breaks-out-on-i-85-in-atlanta
I saw this on a link on that page. I was thinking that is nice of them.
Chick-fil-A announced that they're offering free breakfast for carpoolers in Atlanta from April 3-14.
and then there was this one in a similar vein on yesterdays news from New York City.
https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20170330/astoria/free-dry-cleaning-unemployed-interview-outfit-nicoles-cleaners-2852-34th-street
Jaime Jinete, owner of Nicole's Cleaners in Astoria.
ASTORIA — A dry cleaner in the neighborhood is offering to clean interview outfits, free of charge, for unemployed job seekers who need it.
Jaime Jinete, the owner of Nicole's Cleaners on 34th Street just off 30th Avenue, said he started the deal earlier this year as a way to give back to the community — or, as he puts it, "just to give people hope."
"Sometimes someone probably has to make a decision whether you clean your suit or you get a MetroCard to go to that interview," the 41-year-old business owner said. "I can't get you a MetroCard, but I can help with the suit or an outfit."
