    Good morning.
    Chilly this morning, but it's supposed to be sunny today.
    I have a backpack I got for free joining the Sierra club a few years back....it has 2 pockets on front and one bigger one on the back. I use it when I travel. Good for carrying books and incidentals with me on the airplane, fits right under the seat. :)
    Off to body flow class this morning, then a follow up with my GP this afternoon, make sure the infection is cleared up.
    Have a grat day, everyone. :)

    Hi
    It was down around 40 when I started out the door + 7.2K steps. By the time I got home I was feeling a little warm and had unzipped the Hoodie. No Rain in the forecast for until next Tuesday unless there is a change.

    I did get a email with a tracking number that said my NS shipment had shipped, specifically it said "Good news! The ready-to-go portion of your Nutrisystem order is on its way and will soon arrive"
    I am guessing that since the tracking number is not active yet that it should come tomorrow as this email is time stamped 8AM :)

    Have a Good Wednesday
    Roger

    P.S. I did it again, I clicked Awesome as if it were quote, I really need to get used to how things have shifted :)

    Hi Vix
    It is very hard to beat free! This backpack has a mesh pockets on each side however they are only large enough to hold a 1/2 liter water bottle or a can of beverage.

    I have been given a backpack I can use if I want it, it has tones of smaller pockets, however only one large pocket instead of two like the cheap one. I may have to change as the cheap one has developed a bad seam I may have to try and sew by hand.

    Good Luck at Your GP

    Hi Irene
    You are ahead of me for finding money this week.

    Just curious, what pain medications did they give You? I know that some people have been given some really strong ones from Pills to a patch that You can wear for 12 hours per day.

    I hope You get some relief soon.

    Good afternoon;
    Sunny and 54 degrees.
    Vix-I hope you get good news at the dr.
    I use my backpack for travel or if we go to the flea market.
    Enjoy the rest of the day. :)

    Hi Joanne
    I only bought this one to see how it worked to pick things up at the store when I am walking, hence my buying the cheapest one I could find. I am using it at the grocery store, Dollar store and produce store.

    I took it today, turned it inside out, found a carpet needle and some thick thread and sewed the seam that was starting to open. It isn't a pretty job since I am no seamstress :)

    While I was at it I folded the waistband on the Elastic waist shorts I wear around the house and took about two inches off the waist that way. I knew it was time when they fell down in the kitchen today. My weight is holding steady but the waist is slowly shrinking. I believe they call that Recomp here on MFP.

    Cheers

    Hi Vix
    I did not look at the temperature gauge however I went outside into the back yard and it was a nice afternoon. I chatted with my brother while he planted the rest of the onion plants, he started while I was eating my lunch.

    He has also started the process to turn a corned beef into Pastrami and will cook it Friday.

    Good news as regards the infection for You, Yea!

    Have a Good Evening

    Hi
    I was warm enough when I started out the door, then the Sun went behind some clouds and it was chilly for most of the walk, I ended up under-dressed somewhat due to the warmth of the Sun when I started.

    No Rain in the forecast until at least next week at some point, that means I need to get out and water the newly planted plants. The Blackberry bush is showing some growth as is one of the 10 Raspberry plants. Nothing on the rest of them or the Trees yet. Fingers Crossed.

    Tracking shows 6:55 am On FedEx vehicle for delivery for my NS Ready To Go foods. Whee, I guess I know what I'll be doing later, checking it for shortages.

    Have a Really Nice Day

    Hi Irene
    I sort of wish I had been able to sleep in as I know I will be tired early tonight, However it is what it is.

    It is a nice day outside especially once it warms up.

    Good Luck with the Knee Pain

    Roger, it's nice out, but a little chillier than it looks. I'm still wearing a light jacket and gloves.

    Good evening;
    I hope everyone had a good day.
    I worked, then went to visit my sister. She has been having some health issues. I did a few things for her around the house, washed her hair and made her dinner. So it has been a long day. I will probably be going to bed soon. I have to be in work at 5am tomorrow.
    Vix-glad the infection is cleared up.
    Roger-Will your raspberry and blackberry bushes produce fruit this year?
    Irene-I hope you were able to get your walk in without too much pain.
    Have a great evening. :)

    Good morning.
    Back from zumba. It does look like it's going to be a beautiful day.
    Healthy vibes sent out to your sister, Jo. Be sure to take some time for yourself.
    Irene, sounds like you have a good plan for today. Sometimes it's really good to just slow down.
    Roger, looks like a great day for a walk.
    I'm glad we have hot water again!
    Enjoy the day, everyone. :)

    Hi
    8300 steps so far, I picked up my coffee, cashed a check and Bought Fuji Apples at the grocery Store. The weather seems to be slightly warmer today compared to Yesterday. I am still listening to Boston Blackie while walking. I dug out so more records to convert through the computer, Mainly Old Time Radio Shows.

    Link of the Day
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ0CZB_DUzE

    I suspect I will be getting the Frozen portion of my NS order later today. I go the call saying it will be delivered in the next three days, only once have I had the call and it did not come later that day.

    Have a Good Friday

    Hi Vix
    I think that Irenes Knee pain is catching, My right knee was bothering me earlier. I have rubbed some Grace harbor MSM Cream on it and that seems to be helping. It was a suggestion from my sister to my brother for pain. It seems to moisturize my hands too FWIW.

    I Was wearing a Light flannel jacket and thin gloves for Thursday and Fridays walk.

    I Know You must be happy to have hot water, was it just the fan that was the problem?

    You must have gone out early for the Zumba :)

    It was a beautiful day out and the next few days look even better.

    Hi Joanne
    The Jung website said that the Raspberry bushes might produce a light crop, If so I suspect it will be the later fruiting ones, I planted two types that have a staggered season. A couple of the Raspberry bushes are starting to show leaves, the Blackberry bush and one of the Apple trees are also starting to show small leaves.

    I used to work night shift when I could. We used to bid on days off, what shift and vacation times by seniority when I was working a Union Job. I liked nights I would leave the house midnight to 3AM depending and be heading home anywhere from 9AM to 3PM. I managed to avoid the NJ rush hour traffic that way, Not to mention no Owners around :)

    Have a Good Day

    Tomorrow I will head to the Acme or ShopRite for some things. Bottled water since the city water is Bleh at best. Maybe Frozen vegetables and Bananas too.

    Roger-thanks for the songs. I sang right along with them. :)
    I like going in to work a5am then I get out at 1 and have the rest of the day to myself.
    Irene-I hope you were able to sit on your deck and enjoy this beautiful day.
    I just got back from grocery shopping, everything is put away and now I am going to relax for a while.. that is until the laundry is finished washing and drying.

    Roger, loved the Disney medley....that's amazing all without instruments, just voices...beautiful. :)
    Yes, it was just the fan on the heater that was broken....took him about 10 minutes to fix it once they had the part. And yes, it's wonderful to have hot water. We are so spoiled!
    It is a beautiful day outside. We went to the mall, not that I needed anything. My husband needed a pair of shoe inserts for the ball of his foot, so we went to DSW. I had a $10 off credit and found a pair of Guess booties that were 80% off! We got the inserts and the boots for under $10! Now that's a bargain....I will put them away for next winter. :)
    Irene, Jo, and Roger...hope you're all getting a chance to relax and enjoy the weather. :)

    Hi Joanne
    I am happy that You & Vix liked the song.

    My Frozen NS order arrived around 1:30PM and was checked in and put away by 2PM :)
    One shortage between the Shelf Stable & the Frozen and it was a Thick French Toast and the One wrong item was the wrong bear. I know they will not replace the one frozen with another frozen, sigh....

    Nice to be home from work early in the day isn't it.

    Laundry tomorrow I suspect. It is at the point of needing doing.

    Have a Good Evening

    Hi Vix
    I remember that song from watching Dumbo on the old Sunday Disney show. I think it was "The Wonderful World of Disney" ?

    I Agree, the singers do a great job Acapella, there some other tunes on the YouTube page too.

    Better to only have cold water than be gassed with Carbon Monoxide :)

    It sounds as if You had a productive day at the Mall too.

    Enjoy the Evening

    Good morning.
    Roger, I listened to some of the other videos. Their voices are so wonderful, sounds like a full orchestra. :)
    It's frosty this morning, but supposed to go up to 70 today. I'm hoping to get to the park for a walk. Seems like a perfect day.
    I've kind of let my physical therapy exercises slide, so I want to get back into that today too. I think it really helps.
    Have a wonderful Saturday, everyone. :)

    Hi
    Hi
    Another Day another walk 9.2K Steps, I think I forgot to mention I did find a badly corroded penny Thursday & Friday. I wasn't sure what I had Until I scrubbed them :)

    With stops at the drugstore, Acme, and Gas Station, Gas station for the car and Tiller + Mower, That makes $60 and change spent. Acme for some frozen breakfast Entrees that are on sale at $2.49 or Buy for and pay $1.99 each. Then a Coupon for $2 off of 6 that I can use next visit. If I make that visit by Thursday I can get 6 at $1.99 each and then take an additional $2 off making it basically 6 for $10.

    Does that make me cheap or frugal? :)
    Right now I am listening to Boston Blackie while walking with more of them to go and sitting here a Capture of a Old Time Radio Record of the Andrews Sisters Radio Show. The one I am listening to is from during the War years. Bing Crosby & Gabby Hayes.

    Have a Good Weekend

    I am a little surprised it is frosty by You, It was in the lower 40s here when I went out the door at 7:25AM.

    We only go up to the 60s today, 70s on Sunday & Monday with a chance of rain Tuesday.

    Good Luck with the PT

    Good afternoon;
    It was sunny but windy and chilly. I am hoping tomorrow is a better day. I want to start working in my flower beds.
    We were going to cook steaks on the grill for dinner, but it is just too windy, so under the broiler they will go.
    Monday is a holiday for us, Patriots day or as us Bostonians call it Marathon Monday. It is also April school vacation, so traffic this coming week should be a lot less.
    Have a nice night. :)

    Hi Vix
    It was a beautiful day here too.
    I got a few things done, I thought I had finished vacuuming the Living room and then noticed I had missed a Lampshade and the Wine rack. I did get the laundry washed and folded however.

    Then later I tried my brothers experimental bread and loaf. The Loaf was a Fruitcake recipe with Mince meat filling instead of the fruits, Not to bad. The Bread was a modified Irish Soda Bread with Sugar and yeast, still came out sort of dense and so-so. OTOH his Homemade Baked Beans and The Homemade Pastrami came out excellent as usual.

    The sun is shining and it is shaping up to be a beautiful day. Right now it is 29 and should get up into the 60's.
    This morning I have cleaned out my kitchen cabinets and put new shelf paper down and made muffins for hubby.
    Since losing one cabinet in the kitchen when we put the new larger window in,everything that was in that cabinet was crammed into all the others, boy were they a mess. Now everything is neat and organized. :)

    Hi
    I had a good walk, 7900 steps + 20 Cents :) It was in the 40s when I started out and I took of the light jacket on the return leg as I was getting too warm under it.

    The new Carburetor for the Lawn Mower was delivered yesterday so that is next on the agenda after Breakfast. The Cost for a new one was the same as the parts to rebuild the old one. Darned things are plastic. The Tiller Carb was worth rebuilding so that is what we did with it.

    Grass needs to be shortened so the question is see if the mower will run first, The main problem is hard starting or change it first. Decisions, decisions :)

    Have a Great Sunday

    Hi Joanne
    My Brother was digging in a cabinet looking for a certain spice and hiding on the top shelf was a battery powered can opener, never used from who knows how long ago. With batteries it does run so I'll give it a try just for the heck of it. We do have a manual one that is pretty easy to use as is.

    You are making me feel lazy, so far all I did was walk and think about breakfast. I still need to call NS regarding the Wrong bear and missing Frozen breakfast too, No procrastination there since it arrived Thursday for the bear and Friday for the Breakfast :)

    Have a Really Nice Sunday

    Good morning!
    Jo, you are always so productive! And Roger, out with your walk already. haha....I just did some sudokus while sipping coffee. :) Slowly easing into the day.
    Irene, hope you are resting your knee or at least taking it easy.
    Nothing planned for today, but it's sunny and supposed to get up to 75, so I'm sure we'll find something to do outside.
    Enjoy the beautiful weather. :)

    Hi Vix
    The new Carburetor for the Lawn Mower is now installed and operating. I just Mowed the Front & Side Grass. Between the Mowing and the Quick trip through the Acme I am now over 11,000 steps. Since my goal per day is an average of 10K steps I am now banking steps for the rest of the week :)

    Sudokus? That does not sound as if it is Physical Exercise, OTOH exercising the Brain is a worthwhile exercise too.

    I did find something to do outside :)

    FWIW the Acme here has the Refreshe Brand Spring water for $1.99 per case of 24 with a case limit of 2, Two days of trips for things and I am up to 4 cases this weekend.

    Also the Acme has their Donuts at 69cents each, cheapest price in town. Now If we could only eat them :(

    Have a Good Day
