    WEDNESDAY

    Good morning, today is my Friday so I had to stop myself from typing the wrong day.

    Fireworks etc started last weekend but it is getting worse. My poor dog will be a shaking mess when this is done the end of this weekend.

    Up early decided to just not bother to try and sleep. Will after breakfast.

    Wave to all who follow. Another beautiful day to lurk from work.

    Hugs to Miss T... this is such a scary time for our fur babies..

    9795 total steps and yes I am tired.

    My #1 on my to do list is already done for the weekend - clean out desk drawer. What a mess.

    City has fireworks tonight so in recliner for evening (near dogs hiding safe place).

    Wishing all a good night.

    THURSDAY

    Good morning,

    Happy Fourth of July. With all the extra fireworks and noise makers (dont want to know what they are), what I will be most by the end of this weekend is exhausted if I dont put naps in the top 3 priority.

    Cleaning is overdue as well. Knitting will be my reward.

    Have enough fruit until my next shopping trip. I didnt really plan dinner today- so I dont have any big food plans for the "Fourth", but I hope people have a good celebration with food (hopefully you have the day off).

    6 jobs at work applied for and will get considered for one for an interview (HR posted another position so I asked the manager if I needed to apply for it?) and 6 jobs with the state. Also on my to do list is to work on state applications. I applied for a job in my department that was a demotion - my sup wants me out of the department, but I can apply for any job I want to. :p to her.

    Tillie is done with her morning routine and I will curl up again with her. Wave to all who follow.

    Hey there Sara and Suzu~~

    Sara, I hope that good things are in store for you with a new job, wherever that may be.

    I am walking around in a daze, having found out that my DH doesn't want me with him out in LV. He led me on--he never corrected me whenever I spoke of our living together again and going to couple therapy to rebuild our marriage; that was very cruel I think.

    So I think I will spend July and August working on getting some of this weight off. Summer is the best time for me to do it. Well, spring and fall aren't bad either!

    Lana Summer is a fabulous time to eat fresh fruit and vegetables and go walk out in the warm weather. Cboys are sending an "anti Mario" spray just in case.

    It is SO strange being at the Cabana Club before Sara. I hope that she is getting some good sleep~~

    Sara, thank you for the Anti-Mario Spray. I will use it liberally on anyone creepy who crosses my path.

    Waving to Missy and everyone who stops by later on~~

    Good morning,

    Just missed you Lana - idiots stopped exploding things at 2am. So I am heading back to sleep with Miss T who stayed up all night - I think I fell asleep twice last night so I have maybe 3 hours of sleep - just glad I am not going to work today........

    Day starts at 9:30 facial then hair cut/color next (same place) pedicure at 2 - so brain is thinking how much more sleep can I get??

    Hi-Ho-Hi-Ho It's Back To Work I Go...
    Hoped to take a long weekend, but major projects going live next week and it looks like this will be the best chance at getting caught up on some things and ahead on others.

    Lana - probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but you are going to work through 5 stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance. You can move back and forth, but recognize these as normal (and healthy) stages of mourning an ending and reach out for some help if it looks like you are going to get stuck. Meanwhile, have a big hug.

    Hope everyone traveling does so safely. Waves to all!

    Good morning, all!

    Semi-lazy day ahead. Doing a little laundry, shopping for luau decorations, and hopefully reading a bit.

    Had a fabulous omelette for breakfast. Took 3/4 of my calories for today, but it was so worth it.

    See you all in the Cabana this evening. A spot in the sun, please. I need a bit of color on my shoulders.

    Lana - I use the song from "South Pacific" - I gonna wash that man right outta my hair - and rewrite the lyrics so that I keep walking at a good pace. I need to walk off the toxic department staff - so you and I can walk this off as well. Suzu- thank you - a lot of good reminders in your post for Lana.

    Oatmeal on stove, need to get moving for spa day.

    Sara - You and several of my friends have mentioned the South Pacific song!
    Enjoy your day of beauty!

    Suzu - thank you for the 5 stages of grief. True, true!

    Waving to Tracy~~

    SATURDAY

    Good morning,

    Badats!! Welcome to the board. Post when you can. NZ? Wow. We have people from many places stopping in, so glad you could join us.

    Slept a lot better last night, but glad I have a 4 day weekend. Groceries on to do list. Still not sure of meals as I spend most of last 2 days being zombie like.

    SUNDAY

    Good morning, one more day until back to work. Not much planned, so napping is a definite possibility.

    Window open for first day in long time, but temps will get hot again by end of week. It is July after all.

    Dog is up and fed and will curl up with her for some more zzz.

    Good morning Sara~~

    How cool (pun intended) that you can have your windows open. Enjoy your Sunday--a nap is in store for you!

    Today is another nice sunny day here in "the southern part of heaven", as they call it. I feel droopy though, so I don't know if I will do a walk this morning or default to pool exercise in the back yard.

    Waves to all who stop by later on~~

    Lana- pool sounds great!

    Summer has found us as well... still having random rainy days, which is not normal for July (although, July 4th is known for extreme heat or rain.. rained this year)

    Sara- hope you hear something about a job, soon.... good thoughts to you

    took nice long nap with Miss T.

    oops, I had a 4 day weekend and forgot to pick up my meds :o so tomorrow after work I go. I am not out luckily.

    Idiot neighbors still shooting off fireworks. This is just too much stupidity.

    Wishing all a good night.

    Sara- fireworks seem never ending here... not only do we have individuals still doing it, a few of the Lake bars doing fireworks every weekend thru the summer... ugh...I love watching, hate all the noise... and, it scares my pups...

    MONDAY

    Good morning,

    Weight up, spent more time sleeping this weekend than drinking water... so maybe? It will be hotter next weekend so must drink more water anyway.

    What is everyone doing to keep healthy this week?

    Dog is up and fed. Windows open and fans on.

    Good morning!
    Back from a week of camping with my family. had a great time! All my kids were there alongs with brothers and sisters. Not enough hours in a day to do all the visiting :smile: Exhausted today. hard to be back at work.
    So far fireworks do not seem to bother my doggo, which is a good thing because she is trained to be a hunting dog. She hears the fireworks and gets excited to look for a duck! LOL
    Sara - you question is a good one! I am challenging myself to think of a goal other than just my norm - walk more, eat less. I will have to answer once I come up with a good challenge for myself!

    Good morning Ladies!

    My friend James is vacationing down in Rio, and he has found us a new Cabana Boy candidate named Jordan.

    Sara will, as usual, conduct the grueling interview and tests. 😁

    Here is his photo:

    0xq8d8v92lbx.jpeg

    What do you think? His English needs a little work, but that's OK, right? I'm happy to listen to some Portuguese. Besides, Leandro can help him settle in, if he is approved.

    I APPROVE :wink:
    Well...a week of camping did me in. Too much alcohol - which of course leads to too much food LOL.
    So to the answer for Sara - I think the healthiest thing for me is to get back on track and NOT let this deter my goals.

    Good morning, all!

    I vote yes on Jordan if he meets the strict criteria set by Lana and Sara. <3

    Happy to report that I have returned to my previous low weight of 152.2--back where I was before my 10-day slip. Goal now is to reach 145 by August 9th. Seven pounds/four weeks. I will have to step it up (probably literally), but I WILL do it.

    We can do this! Weigh your choices and your food. LOL!
