    Sunny and cold here. I don't want to walk in the cold either!
    I found some nice teas....I'm enjoying the vanilla-coconut tea with some non-dairy creamer. I also have some hazelnut chai tea that also tastes like a treat with a little non-dairy creamer in it. :) I've been feeling hungry the last couple of days....maybe with the change in the weather.
    Have a great day, everyone. :)

    Hi all,
    I went for my 6mo. ultrasound for my kidney stones. I will find out the results when I visit my dr. next Tuesday.
    It was sunny but very cold today.
    Vix-Your tea sounds nice. I drink my tea without any milk or sugar, just plain.
    Roger-I can always tell when I need a new pair of shoes, my feet ache and my back usually starts to act up.
    Irene-I hope you had a pleasant day at work.
    I don't know if your state has powerball, but it is over 1 billion dollars. I bought 2 quick picks. I can't imagine what I would do with all that money, but it is fun to dream. :)
    Have a great evening. :)

    Ha-ha....I keep thinking about buying a powerball ticket, but I haven't bothered. Probably should toss a couple of $ at it, although chances of winning are probably less than 1 in a billion!
    Some teas I like without anything in them, some just beg to be fancied up. :)
    Good luck with the Doc next week, Jo, hope the ultrasound shows good results.
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Good morning....cold here too, supposed to be some snow showers this afternoon. I'm definitely not up for walking in the cold! I was pretty stiff yesterday, and I was only out in between my car and places I was going.
    Clay co-op for me today. My neck is really sore, so I think I'll take some Alleve after breakfast. Didn't really sleep last night. Will watch how I feel today, so I can take another one if I need it.
    It's still really dark out, so I guess it's overcast.
    Stay warm, and have a great day!

    Hi
    Monday I pulled out one of the new spare pairs of shoes and changed out the ones I had been wearing that had wear on the soles. Much more comfortable after the walk. What I did when i used the last pair was check on Amazon and Voila, The same model and size was still available so I ordered two more pairs and put them in the closet.

    Cold and sunny out currently. I was out walking and with no breeze it was more comfortable than Yesterday even though the real temperature was where Yesterdays Wind chill reading was.

    Time to revisit my upcoming order and finalize what I want and use another gift card to finish paying for it. That should leave enough for one more order, Hopefully they go on sale again before the order after that.

    Have a Good Tuesday

    Hi Vix
    Interesting You should mention the hunger, I have been feeling that way too.
    I have to wonder if it is a instinct that we get to store up food for the lean winter months from the past.

    Cheers

    Hi Joanne
    Where I feel it is in the knees when I sit and relax after the walk and then get up. I suspect it is due to the way I wear the soles putting stress on my knees.

    I drink my Coffee or tea plain and always have.

    I hear they are now saying 1.4 billion, wow!

    Good Luck with the Ultrasound results

    Hi Again
    I am of two minds regarding the lotteries and Casinos too. They appear to be another tax on the public. having said that I have a Powerball QP ticket sitting here waiting for drawing to make me rich :)

    Hi Irene
    I do not usually play the lotteries with any regularity, OTOH some extra money would be nice.

    I found 1 cent yesterday myself, chilly but it does help with the weight loss for more than one reason. Burning extra calories and then I believe that the cold weather also burns more calories keeping the body warm :)

    Regarding Your knees, I feel it in my knees when the shoes get older and worn. Have You checked Your shoes? Another suggestion, Check with a Foot doctor and see if Inserts or custom shoes would help. I knew someone who had a marked improvement from custom shoes.

    Good Luck and stay warm

    Good afternoon;
    I don't usually play the lottery either, but I figured what the heck.
    Our weather report is calling for an inch of the white stuff.
    The other grocery chain near where I work is closing at the end of the week. We have been seeing a lot more business and I suspect that it will get even busier after this week. I sure hope they hire some more help.
    Enjoy the day. :)

    Jo, I hope they hire more help for you too....if they're closing down some of the competition, you will definitely get busier! We had some snow showers, but thankfully no accumulation, I'm not ready for that yet....not that the weather cares what I think!
    Roger, I pretty much feel that lotteries are a tax too, but understand why people are buying tickets now...haha....I will probably forget to buy some/throw away a couple of bucks.
    Irene, you are better than me, walking out there in the cold! Hope the shots for your knees get you back to feeling good.
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Good morning.
    Irene, that's cool that they can put the gel in your knees....that's the problem with my spine...they don't do that there. Trying to build muscle around the bones to support it better. :)
    Cold again today 21 going up to 32, but warmer tomorrow.
    Stay warm and have a nice day, everyone. :)

    Hi
    It is cold and windy today out there and I can handle either however I did decide o take a down day from walking as it has been a while since I did that :) Currently I hear the coffee maker brewing my morning coffee.

    There was a trace of snow on the ground last night, This morning not a trace of it despite the low temperatures. I suspect that the winds have dried it all away. Good for commuters and walkers. It was gusting pretty hard last night when I went off for a decent nights sleep.

    Have a Good Wednesday

    Hi Joanne
    We had a dusting of snow, and it has disappeared around here.

    I hope You get more help too, sadly my suspicion is that they may take a wait and see attitude to see if the bump in business is temporary or if the current staff levels can handle it.

    FWIW You could also keep an eye on the other store to see if they run clearance sales to take advantage of. When the Pathmark grocery store closed the newspaper ran a report that they had cleared what was left out at super fire sale prices. I saw that after the fact and missed the sale :(

    Good Luck

    Hi Irene
    It was just a thought that maybe a little difference of the knee geometry might help. Mom had shots that helped, Lucky she had a prescription plan that any scrips cost her $5 co-pay. I understand that the shots that helped were super expensive. In the end She had both knees replaced and was much happier with that once the Physical Therapy was finished and she could walk easily again.

    Good Luck

    Hi Vix
    Even if they could I do not know if I would want them messing around in my spine. Is the PT helping with that? Cold today, wind chill in the low teens and the forecast last night was lowering wind chill through the day. If that changes I may end up walking some anyway after bundling up and possibly wearing my FroggToggs as a windbreaker since I do not have one otherwise.

    Stay Warm

    The Pt is definitely helping, my lower back is doing better....I just tend to put a lot of tension into my neck, and I need to figure out how to stop that. They have given me some ways to improve my posture, be careful to keep my neck relaxed when reading on on the computer.
    It's just hard changing a lot of bad habits. And I'm pretty sure some of it is just stress, not that I have anything particularly stressful in my life. I just tend to stress about things in general....duh.
    It's a good day for hibernating....although it's sunny, it is quite nippy out there. :)

    Good Evening;
    There was enough snow that we had to shovel the driveway. :(
    Irene-good luck with the gel shot. Will you need to have knee replacements in the future?
    Roger-Did you get your walk in? I would have stayed in today, it was bitter cold with the wind chill.
    Vix-I am glad the PT is helping.
    Yesterday I finally called NS and switched my plan to uniquely yours.I can now order shelf stable and frozen. My next order doesn't ship until Feb 1.
    Have a good night. :)

    Hi
    I seem to have been MIA yesterday :)
    Today's weather is the best of the week so far. I was out the door earlier and it was still more comfortable than several previous days has been. Temperature is not much better, however no breeze or wind. Rain moving tonight into tomorrow morning so I suspect I'll be out the door after it has passed.

    Have a Good Friday

    Hi Joanne
    Just curious did You run the numbers for Shelf stable with A La Carte frozen vs adding the Uniquely Yours?

    I have been ordering 28 days of the Entrees and a Deserts and adding Shelf Stable A La Carte. I can do since I can get all that frozen into the basement freezer.

    D-Day is approaching with a 6PM deadline to make changes to my order on Sunday and a Ship date of Monday. I have opened their website while I am on here. It is so dead slow that I can do both easily.

    Yuck, Having to shovel the driveway. Snow is one of the things that would make evaluate whether I should go walking even after is is over, Safety first. 24 hour rule regarding needing to shovel sidewalks after the snowfall is done here in town. Add in the places that have no sidewalk and I'm not sure I want to walk on snowy streets :)

    Excluding the one down day I have been walking every day for quite a while, hence my decision to have a down day from walking.

    Have a Nice day

    Hi Again
    I always felt that if I could avoid driving on or in snow it was good idea.

    Not too much up, I did get sidetracked yesterday however and never made it here for anything. Currently just working on the finishing touches of my upcoming order. Then I may go look at some of the news links my brother emailed me.

    Enjoy the day

    Hi all,
    The back of the house is almost finished,2 more courses of shingles.
    Roger-I just decided to go with the uniquely yours option. I have a lot of gift cards from Costco that I can use on the orders. I ordered mostly frozen and a few of my favorite shelf stable items.
    Vix-Enjoy your trip to LI.
    Irene-I would so love to have 3 day weekends. Enjoy!

    Nothing planned for the rest of the day. I may watch the football game this afternoon.

    Hi
    I got lucky with the weather today, The rain moved out earlier than last nights forecast indicated it would, so I was out the door slightly before 8AM. It drizzled twice while I was walking for a minute or two, Not enough to pull the umbrella out of my pocket however. There was a little breeze when I started out but manageable wind chill even though I did not dress that heavily :) The temperatures are supposed to be dropping through the day so getting out early helped that way too.

    Have a Good Weekend

    Wow, I am glad we are not getting the rain/sleet mix here. From the TV news this morning it was well north of us in NY state.

    I am not clear on this, did they kick You out early in the day to save on OT or did they shorten the planned OT?

    Good Luck with Your Back

    Hi
    I went out for a second walk Saturday afternoon + 10 cents, while on the walk I picked up Bananas, I just tried one and once again the Bananas from the produce store seem to have been poorly handled. I may just have to give up on them from there and drive to the grocery store when I need a new bunch. That brought me to 6k steps above my goal for the day.

    I walked this morning for slightly longer than usual and despite the temperature being 8 degrees colder than Yesterday morning it was OK as there was very little wind. I may go out walking again this afternoon as it is supposed to be much colder tomorrow and breezy too.

    Have a Great Sunday

    Good Afternoon;
    Roger- I got sent home from work because I had too much OT. They let me keep a little of it. I never plan on getting any OT, it just seems to work out that I usually stay to finish something up.
    Sorry about the bananas. We have been getting some good strawberries into the store. They are large and very sweet. I bought 2 containers. When you go to the produce dept. you may want to ask them to bring out a new box of bananas, ones that have not been handled by employees or customers. Now that I work in the produce dept, I always get fresh items straight from the cooler when I shop.
    After yesterday's rain/sleet mix in the morning, the sun came out late in the afternoon. We are supposed to get a few inches of snow tonight. Yuk!!!
    Vix and Irene-I hope you are both having a great weekend.

    Hi...we're back! It was a very nice visit with my MIL, she's doing pretty well. She naps a lot, so on Saturday, we went to Long Beach and went for a nice long walk on the boardwalk. It was a little chilly and misty, but not too bad. Luckily we didn't hit much traffic either direction, although it was snow showering on the way back, all the way from Delaware to home. The roads were just a little slick in Maryland, saw a couple of cars that had slid off the road. The way people drive, I was kind of surprised there weren't more accidents.
    Nice to be back home and back here. :)
    Jo, it's kind of nice that they sent you home to relax. :)
    Hope you all had a nice weekend. :)
