Good morning All~~
I'll be with Tracy (Twiley) at the quiet end of the pool today.
I have botched things up with my DH--made some really bad communication choices and got some of his family involved. They are very kind to me always, and they love me, but who knows how this all will play out.
I wish I could rewind and do the weekend over, but that's not possible. I will have to live with the consequences of my actions, once I find out from any one of them where things stand now. I pushed the envelope and made a mess.
I have been so distressed by all of this, on top of my cognitive issues from cancer treatment, that I really do not think straight sometimes.
I just hope that I can keep living in this house. I don't want to lose it.
Thank you for listening.

Lana, you are human. Be kind to yourself. Forgive yourself.

Good evening,
The temptation of using my Discover card bonus bucks got me into Amazon. Amazon could not sign me up for the bonus buck reward system, but I found 2 cookbooks that I ordered anyway - because they are cookbooks for 2 people. I will let you know how they are when they arrive.......
Idiots are making big booming noises and dog is my shadow. Just shake my head.
Wishing all a good night.1 -
WEDNESDAY
Good morning, Happy 4th of July! Not everyone has the day off, so I hope you enjoy it how you can.
Window open but fire smoke makes air bad and will for quite awhile.
Haircut a couple of errands including getting a little dessert for today and then home to clean?? Not too much I hope.
Looking for a little more sleep. BBL.1 -
Happy 4th of July~~
Hey thanks ladies for the words of support. I think my clumsy move might actually have brought on some positive results. Too soon to say; I am supposed to have a phone visit with sister in law today. She is wise and interested in helping.
Sara - I bet Miss Tillie is the best shadow ever, and I'm sorry that the noise makes her uneasy.
Waving to Tess and Tracy and Dawn and Kathryn and Izenzo and Eryn and Saltine and anyone who stops by later on......
I might try for a little bit more sleep in a bit....

Good afternoon - almost
All errands done. Got a slice of triple chocolate cake - will make into 3 portions - pre ww I would have eaten it all at once.....
Sewing up 25 orange hearts as I watch documentaries on acorn tv.
But first a dog walk.
Cboys in patriotic attire tonight with red/white and blue drinks - blue umbrellas instead?2 -
Missy, like the new picture of dogs...... Hope you also have a great 4th.
All hearts are done and I could clean house, but somehow a nap seem so much more productive.......2 -

THURSDAY
Good morning,
Idiots up last night until 1am with very loud and very close fireworks/guns. Do these people work?? Almost half of my department has today off ......
So living on fumes (after any sleep before dog walk) I will do my best today.
Lurking from work later to stay awake.
Wishing all a great day3 -
In the office today with a few other hardy souls. Very quiet (and overcast) in DC after the celebrations of last night. It’s also still very humid so everything is moving slowly. We’re supposed to get some rain - and relief! - tomorrow with promises of a nice weekend.
Waves to Sara and anyone else who is around. Lana, did the C-boys behave themselves last night or did they celebrate the 4th too energetically?
BBL,

Good morning Sara and Tess and all other Beach Club members.
Sara - I am poorly educated with history. What was going on back in Harry Truman's time that he wrote those words against Fear? I guess something not so good was going on back then, but what?
I will be back later - need to slowly run some errands.

PS, if I remember (why I'm writing this here), later on I can look up President Truman and read about him. It will be interesting to look at something different for me for a change.
Tess - The Cabana Boys never tell us what they do on their own time. It might curl our hair~~

Hope everyone had a great holiday!
Spent my 4th installing a/c in the shop. I am very sore and very tired today! And I see on the weather that the heat wave is going to end. You're welcome! (had we NOT installed a/c it would have gone on forever! LOL)
DD is in her cute little apartment. Am so glad she finally got moved and things are looking up for her after all the issues last year.
Had decent WI this morning. Very surprised since I took a little liberty with the holiday eats. I do feel swollen though from all the extra sodium.
Am back to work today and it seems to be wall to wall meetings. Will try to pop in later.
*snapping fingers for Cboys to take notes during meeting for me*

Kathryn - what is "the shop"? A workshop in/at your home or garage? is it for the Jeeps?
Glad your DD is in her apartment and the place is nice and everything for you to call it "cute"! Good for her!
I ran errands, using buses and walking. Got in 2 miles. Time for a little water exercise now.

Lana - Truman is an interesting read. David McCullough wrote an awesome book - long but a good read. Check out from Library and save some $$?? I had hard time finding a good 4th of July phrase to send - the second one I found after and my first thought was " cheese in a can"!!
Kathryn, dont let the cboys off so easily, they should have total visual and verbal memory recall.2 -
Lana - "The shop" is my husbands Jeep business. Its a 2 story pole barn turned mechanic workshop.
DD's apartment was built in the 20s. The owner bought the building to restore it as a "hobby" - original floors, cabinets, doors, woodwork, tile, even the little door in the wall where the milkman would deliver the milk! The manager keeps the entire place spotless. Wish I had an apartment like that when I was starting out!
Sara - wow! what talent - those Cboys sure do come in handy!!
I really need to get more walking in. These days of all meetings are killing me. Thank goodness I have a standing desk!1 -
Hope everyone had a great 4th!
I've been gone for the past week or so in San Francisco for a work convention, and then stayed a few days to explore. Did tons and tons of walking but not the best eating! Home now and trying to get everything back in order - including my eating habits! Will be back to checking in daily.
Hope everyone is having a good Thursday. 2 -
Hi everyone! Hope everyone had a great 4th! I’m starting this back up again for the millionth time but I’d really like to lose some lbs and gain some muscle! I’m at the heaviest I have ever been. I’m 5’8 and currently 150lbs. My goal is to lose a lb a week, starting Monday until around the end of October for a total of 15 lbs. If you have similar goals (or even completely different ones) feel free to add me! The more friends to keep accountability, the better!

FRIDAY
Good morning,
TGIF!!
Aleksis, welcome. Sounds like you have a realistic goal. Let us know how things go.
Air quality is "kitten" until at least Tuesday with winds blowing the fire smoke into the area. For me that means doing as many chores this weekend before noon and then just staying inside. Hard part is I need to walk more to keep the water weight down. Hmmm.
Will lurk from work. Wave to all who follow.2 -

Sara - I can see the pictures today! No idea why or how but there they are. And adorable!
I don't feel like doing ANYTHING today! I think my motivation wandered off and has gotten lost. Sure hope someone out there finds it and sends it home cause there is a lot of stuff I need to get done!3 -
Hi everyone! First time actually even looking at the forums on here. The title for this thread just screamed at me though! I've been using myfitnesspal on and off for a couple years now I guess, and really need to stick with it. (it's so much easier once you get in the habit of you just keep it up!)
I have a really boring day job, but I'm also a magicians assistant. About four years ago my thyroid and metabolism changed and basically kissed me goodbye! Now with the right medication, and hopefully the will power and motivation to eat better, maybe I can get it under control again!
Nice to have company along the way!

Viking - a magicians assistant?! So cool! Welcome!0

One of my two books showed up today the one that has more cooking and less baking in it. Many of the pork recipes ask for apple cider vinegar .... already in my cupboard. Apples and pork chops, not a bad idea.
Lindsey - I was at work lurking when you posted.
Kittens are an inside joke on this board - beyond their cuteness..... "kitten" is the word the censor replaces a word with if it is deemed "inapproriate", so sometimes we just add the word "kitten" to make it easier.... and make people guess.
Boy howdy am I tired!! I hope to sleep without the neighbors setting off "fireworks" again tonight (some of the noise is guns).
Caught myself doing a "I have leftover chocolate cake in the fridge" dance while on my dog's walk....looked around and as far as I know nobody saw me, but I must have burned at least 5 calories......3 -
SATURDAY
Good morning.
First day in a couple that the air is good enough to open windows. What a relief it got stuffy in here.
Longer to do list this morning, but will be done before noon.
Back for a little more sleep.
Wave to all who follow. BBL1 -
Finally a nice day out! Only 77° woo hoo! Nice breeze too! Dogs are lovin it! Got the house opened up letting it air out. Yay!
Some not so good news.... gas line rusted out on our "new" truck... was his Cousins... and, of course, no one carries. Of course. It's a 1995... so no real surprise on any of that... just discouraged. SO has finally been able to get back to work and, having 2 vehicles has been wonderful. Oh well. Got feelers out to friends... maybe they can come up with something... fingers crossed...0 -
Almost forgot... I've been dying to share... my Aunt called Gpa's sister, crying about how much she missed Gpa and how it was all my mom's fault for him passing. Gpa's sister, pretty much told Aunt that she and Uncle need to step up and help Gma with stuff and, they both need to grow up! HAHA sorry, I can't help but laugh. Aunt is just trying to get everyone to feel sorry for her. She acts like she is the only person that lost someone. I know she did not expect my Great aunt to say those things. Heck, the woman is 91 years old... Lord knows what's gonna come outta her mouth and, she ain't afraid to say it! Hehehe
Maybe, I'm a mean person. But, it's about time someone tells her how it is!1
