    Good morning...
    It looks like it's going to be a beautiful morning here too.
    Irene...get your rest while you can! At least you'll be making lots of ot money. :)
    We may take a drive to Shenandoah Nat'l Park today....going to body flow class in a few minutes.
    It's supposed to get to about 70 here today too.
    Enjoy the day! :)

    Good Morning;
    Irene-I feel for you, retail is a tough business around the holidays.
    Roger-The attic is far from empty. I still have a lot of my kids stuff stored up there, the christmas decorations and
    other things I am not ready to part with yet.
    Vix-I have been trying to stay busy,because when I am not I tend to snack.
    I did 4 power miles with Leslie this morning. I don't feel as stiff in the morning since I have been exercising.
    I have to go to the post office today in order to get permission to move our mailbox. It is only a matter of a few feet,from the wall to the door. We want to install a slot in our breezeway door.
    Enjoy your day! :)

    Jo, I know what you mean. It's better for me to stay busy too, even better if I can stay out of the house! Mailbox slot in the door sounds really nice. Our mailboxes are all at the end of our driveways. Mailmen only come to our porches/doors if we have packages.

    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

    Good afternoon;
    My new front door was installed this morning. Old shingles are still being removed. The post office said I couldn't put a mail slot in the door, so I went out and bought a new mailbox and it will go back up where the old one was.
    Irene-congrats on losing 2 lbs and finding 11cents. :)
    Vix-have fun a painting class.
    Roger-should be a good day for a walk.
    I only had time for 2 miles this morning. I got a late start and had to cut my exercise short, so I could take a shower and get dressed before the contractors came. They arrived a 7 on the dot.
    Yesterday was hubby's birthday and today is mine. We went out to eat last night at our favorite restaurant.
    Have a great day! :)

    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 Irene
    You are doing better than I at finding money lately :)

    Mr. Scale has been staying in a holding pattern this week. I hate plateaus!

    I know You will miss those walks and the calories they burn too.
    Good Luck

    Hi Vix
    I agree with Your assessment on the day. It is supposed to be in the 70s again today, I actually ran the AC for a while yesterday to cool down the room. Maybe today too. Not sure yet. So far house is nice with neither heat nor AC needed. I love this time of year.

    Cheers

    Hi Joanne
    That is something I had not thought of, was the Old Mailbox on the House/door or out at the curb? Parts of my town have Mailboxes at the curb, some are located in clusters and most have them on the house. I had been thinking a mail slot would be nice. I already had the second address line under the street address marked deliver to inside of Porch and UPS and FedEx both are good at that, they even ring the doorbell or knock on the door, USPS mostly on the porch depending on regular mailman or temp...

    I do good to make my 2.75 miles a day usually, How far short were You?

    I hope Your Hubby's Birthday want well and I wish You a ffh.gif

    Have a Good Time

    Good morning;
    Thank you for the birthday wishes. :)
    Food shopping is on my agenda for today, also a stop at the vet to give them Vinny's BG levels from yesterday.
    I plan on walking outside today. I spent a lot of yesterday in the house, checking Vinny's levels every 2 hours.
    Enjoy the day! :)

    Jo, I hope Vinny's doing ok. It's a beautiful day, great for a walk.
    Roger, hope you're having a good day. :)
    I went to zumba class today, and will find something fun to do later. :)

    Hi
    I got out later than usual, weather was nice except when the intermittent breeze was blowing. I did take a different route that worked out to be 2.73 miles. I took the camera with me and when I went to use it, Son of a gun, The memory card was still in the computer, oops :)

    I spent part of the morning vacuum sealing some home made Italian sausage my brother made, Foods keep so much better that way. In that respect the Food Saver commercials are true, Cost savings depend on how much waste You Seal up, The Consumable supplies are not that cheap so many things are not a candidate for that.

    Have a Nice Friday

    Hi Vix
    My Brother likes it cool brrr...

    He still has the bedroom window open :)

    I spend mush of the day in the basement on that computer and doing other things, I need to get shredding again for example. It is the warmest part of the house in the cool weather and the coolest part of the house in the summer :)

    Good morning. There was a beautiful sunrise this morning. I do like it a little bit cool, but not looking forward to the cold of winter. I would love to find some place where the temperature stays between 50 and 75 all the time! :)
    Enjoy the weekend everyone.

    Hi Vix
    Not a problem, just migrate north or south with the seasons :)

    I was afraid it would be cold walking but getting out the door at 7:30AM now that cooler weather is here works for now, I was getting out the door at 5:20 to 5:25 during the heat of Summer to avoid the heat and the heat from the Sun, Now with cooler weather the Suns heat feels good.

    Cheers

    The problem with Hawaii is most things have to be brought in and thus are costly.

    Good News on Vinny's numbers

    Hi Irene
    I looked outside and everything was wet and since I had not had a down day from walking for a while I took today off, It's Sunday.

    Temperatures did not look to bad either, oh well

    Have a Great Day

    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

    Good afternoon
    I had to work today. :( I have wednesday off this week.
    The contractor has started the siding. :) There are still more shingles to be stripped from the back and side of the house. He is going on vacation next week and promised me that the front of the house would be sided and the rest of the shingles would be off and the house wrapped before he goes. Everything should be done by Thanksgiving.
    He is doing most of the work himself. He has one helper that has been coming most days.
    Lunch was good. We went to a Mexican restaurant. I had chicken fajitas. It came with corn tortillas. I only ate one.
    I did indulge and have the homemade guacamole. They make it right at table side,yum,yum.
    I did 15,160 steps at work today. I am tired,but I am going upstairs to use the elliptical machine. I will try to do 15 min. I haven't used it in months.
    Have a great evening. :)

    Roger, I'm not worried about leaves, our trees are so small, there aren't that many! :)
    Yoga was tough for me this morning, but the massage helped a little. Basically a lazy day for me.
    have a good night everyone. :)

    Hi Joanne
    Good Step count, I guess the house wrap will do the job. I know I would feel more secure with the entire house sided but that's me.

    My Exercise machine has been lonely since I started walking. It did its job and got me to where I could walk however :)

    Hi Vix
    All of our leaves come from the neighbors on each side of us and across the street. On this street the trees were planted alternating from side to side so as You walk up the street there will be one on Your left and for the next lots on Your Right, Then next lot on the left and so on.

    Hi Irene
    I used to tolerate the cold better when I was young, but I suspect I developed a sensitivity to cold when I drove Freezer trucks for 14 years and had to stay inside unloading them. On Mornings when it was very cold outside Even my toes would ache.

    I do run the box fan most of the year in the bedroom but more for background white noise than the breeze.

    For example today a knit Long sleeve shirt over a Pocket T shirt and a sweatshirt over those. Earmuffs and Some Down filled gloves.

    Cheers

    Hi Vix
    I wore the gloves for much of the walk until the sun warmed things up then I put them into the pocket. I guess You will be getting the same rain Wednesday into Thursday?

    Off to the ShopRite in a little while they had Light & Fit 4 packs advertised as 2 for $4 and they charged more like $3.50 :( Wish me luck

    Good afternoon,
    The sun is shining and it is cool but comfortable. I haven't had to wear my coat yet to work.
    Roger-I work in the produce department and in the winter it gets very cold in our back room where we prep the fruit and veggies. Some days my feet get so cold that they ache. I have wool socks that I got at the army-navy store they help a little. I also wear 2 shirts and a down vest and if I get really cold I go and stand in the bakery near the oven for a little while.
    I close the heat vent in the bedroom in the winter. I like a cool room for sleeping. Hubby on the other hand
    has an extra blanket on during the winter.
    Vix-I hope you are feeling better today and glad the massage helped.
    Irene-I like the cooler weather also.
    Have a good evening. :)
