Sara - great news on the eval!! am not sure I understand the COL increase only applies to one paycheck. aren't those usually a business wide thing?
last night, i finished off the donuts because i didnt want them to go to waste. famous last words to justify a binge, right. made me feel worse than I already did. this morning scale up 4 pounds but at least i no longer have the aches and chills. the vax side effects seem to have run their course. my ankle still hurts though

Good morning all~~
Yay Sara - enjoy your day of beauty!
Kathryn - It's hard getting two vaccines. I am glad you are feeling better.
Laura - I hope that you get some rest this weekend.
Waving to Lynn and Runa and Tracy and Tracey and Dawn and Missy and Nikki and Skinny and Saltine and Ama and everyone else who stops by later on~~
......my sister is dragging me to the YMCA pool today. She is not allowed to swim yet, but she is going to throw me in! LOL!

Lana - you better stay in the pool - those fires! Crazy! Sara- you as well. Hope you are safe this weekend with all the winds!1

Long day but good news- the floorplan I wanted but was "out of my reach" one became available first week Dec for less than the smaller floorplans - so I jumped on the chance to transfer. Filled out the forms and will see soon. Gives me 5 weeks to toss/gift/pack. In my budget plans and now have a coat closet/pantry and linoleum instead of carpet in most of the place. Downstairs with a grass area for Miss T. They are replacing windows and that building will be done before I move in. Could NOT resist it.
I dont know where the fires are will need to look. Most of the fires are over an hour away and unless the winds get really weird, we are not down wind like the ones last year at this time. Just craziness and sad.
I should be toss/gift/packing tonight but that can start tomorrow.....
Wishing all a good night.2 -
Sara- fingers crossed for you on place you want...
Kathryn- glad you feel better. I have never had the vax... but, seems a lot of people that get the flu shot, gets sick right after... even tho, it's not supposed to be a side effect..
Lana- enjoy the pool! Definitely good exercise. How's your sister?
Lynn- hope you have a restful weekend
French- good to see you
Tracey- thanks for popping in
Waves to everyone!
Mom and Grandma met me halfway for lunch and shopping, yesterday. It was a nice visit. Gma's PET is Wed. Thinking of all the years that she's had pain in her toe and leg, I'm really, really worried about the scan. She will be taking a pill...I don't really know what is what... mom said, not chemo but a pill...I am trying to stay positive. I just can't help but worry...

I am so close to my 2nd promotion with Scentsy... I'm excited and nervous...I am trying so hard to get out of my comfort zone...I just can't talk to people in person... i'm better at hiding behind a screen..
Sara/ Kathryn/ Lana- thank you all so much for your support...I really appreciate you all so much, for many things...
If anyone is interested, feel free to check out my site

SATURDAY
Good morning,
Woke up in middle of night and then could not sleep, what needs to be packed blah blah blah....
Sweet potato and black bean burritos that I can freeze on to do list. Want to get mason jars to make jar meals but that may have to wait until after I move....
Meds to pick up for me and dog, but can do after lunch.
Dawn!! Great job on your next promotion through Scentsy.
I keep my coworker busy with all the tote bags I buy from her website. Just got a new one yesterday with a Christmas print and a Llama on it - starting a new project, knitting a shawl for myself. I may have to get more yarn but we shall see.

Sara- thank you! I'm really trying! I really appreciate your support... are the totes by Thirty One? My friend sells those and I love them! I only have one and a snack bag... sweet potato and black bean burritos sounds interesting...
Hoping to go to a Tupperware Bingo party, today. My friend that was going with me had to cancel. She just had knee surgery about 3 weeks ago and is having hard time being comfortable. Today, I woke up in serious pain. I feel like someone is stabbing me in the back and, it's causing my neck to tense up... laying on heating pad at the moment... doesn't really feel like it's helping... but, I already RSVP'd and hate to back out. Will have to see how I feel... it's not until 2:00 and, it's just 11:30...

Sara - I hope that all goes well with your getting that apartment! The new windows will be nice. 😁
Dawn, my sister is doing extremely well. She's been able to take over the driving, which is good, as I do not know my way around here.
How is your back feeling now? I hope that the pain has eased up. I also hope that you did not go to that party if you were not up to it. Put yourself first!
Waving to Lynn and all the rest of you ladies~~~~
Lana2 -
Lana- glad your sister is doing well. It can be tricky, driving in unfamiliar territory. Good that she is able to help with the driving.
I did go to party. I was miserable, but better than I had been this morning. I wanted to go, as the Consultants mom is a customer of mine. I'm very glad I went. No one else showed up. They (her friend helped) changed it up and did a demo. Which was nice. She asked if I would be interested in hosting a party and offered to host a Scentsy party. I'm not sure if I would have a successful Tupperware party... thinking of asking friends and family if they would be interested. Don't want to waste her time if I don't get any sales...we shall see...
Still using heating pad... feel a little better.. hope to wake up much better, tomorrow...

SUNDAY
Good morning,
High winds - Red warning Fire alert through Monday - rain would be nice here.......dog allergies she is on her meds but is having a tough time. Me. eye drops and do the best I can too.
Lana - how are things down in SF? Do you have electricity? PG&E keeps telling us to be on "survivor" mode - hence the thermos for dog stuff and canned food......
Dawn - Tupperware and Scentsy are both companies like Thirty One that people have a history with. Mary Kay is another one. I actually sponsored a Mary Kay party and 4 people showed up on the hottest day of the summer...... dont know unless you try. Set up a time after your neck/back pain is better.
Knit/watch soccer after grocery shopping. Sweet potato/black bean burritos- after cleaning out freezer.
Toss and pack mode for the next 5 weeks will get old but it will be worth it. Went to Ross and got some "decorator" boxes not cheap but not bad priced. I got two and the things going in them are staying in there. I have to consolidate and so I may as well make it look nice in new place.

Good morning All~~
Sara - My sister lives in Redwood City in San Mateo County, and things appear to be normal here. However, she doesn't have a television or use a radio, and we have not been actively searching for info on the internet or any podcasts. I think she's signed up for weather alerts (I am too, in whatever area I am in), but I haven't gotten any warnings on my phone.
I hope that you maintain your power. Also hope you and Miss Tillie can be as comfortable as possible, given the allergies etc.
Dawn - I see why you went to the party. Do ice packs to reduce any swelling help your back at all? Ibuprofen? Sending you good vibes to feel better soon!
Waving to all who stop by later on~
Lana1 -
Hello ladies. I hope you all are safe. I am so sorry to hear you have fires and bad weather. So worrying. Sending prayers to keep you and families safe.
I’ve been lurking as having issues on hormones giving me anxiety again. It’s an up and down struggle and trying to keep positive but work is so stressful I feel drained. Not helping me with my weight and trying to keep on track. I will try to think of things I have achieved rather than things I haven’t.
Sara - great to get through the evaluation. Dawn I hope you are hanging in there. Niki too with all the worry over your husband’s illness. Hope the horses are giving you a release from that stress. Lana thanks for all your positive posts and hope time with sis is good. Lynn thanks for the challenge - I am trying to move! Getting some steps in. Xx
Waves and hugs to you all.

Laura - sorry to hear about your anxiety. Definitely do not focus on anything negative! Hugs 🤗
Lana1 -
Lana- the heat pad seems to have helped. Neck was still stiff this morning. But, used heat pad for a bit and is a bit better. I also used Ibuprofen... glad you are safe from fire... that has got to be scary..
French- (sorry for forgetting your name) hugs to you. Hope things calm down for you, soon.
Today was our first wedding anniversary. We spent it just hanging out, watching scary movies and carving pumpkins. Sav A Lot had pumpkins for $1.99! They were big, too! So, we got 3 (I already had 1) and, we carved 2. It was our first time either of us actually carved... carved to me, was always just cutting out face... not using special tools and carving the flesh... was fun, and tedious... may not do that again, lol... there was also a special on baby back ribs. We got 2 1/2 slabs for a little less than $6... was pretty yummy... my eating has been horrible, lately... my brain is just all over the place and I just eat... blah..I really need to think before I put things into my mouth...1 -
PS - Sara - sorry that I did not answer yet about the power: Yes, we have electricity. Donna lives in the "flatlands" near the bay, not in the hills. She never lost power the last time. We are assuming that it will stay on this time.
We are now smelling the smoke, but the air quality is still pretty good.1 -
Sweet potato / black bean burrito is in toaster - 5 others in freezer.
Went to Vet dogs eyes were so bad and she keeps rubbing them. She has an ointment and a cone for her head I am supposed to have her wear it when I am gone. I am more worried about her hurting herself.
No packing today, did throw out stuff, so I did something.
Lana -our PG&E is for gas (hot water) and while we dont have PG&E there are people in neighboring suburb w/o electricity (their transmitter blew up) just so much fun.
Wind is just crazy strong and I will be glad to move as I am always wondering when the big trees outside my place may come tumbling down.
Laura - can aroma therapy help you? How about a nice walk? I go and watch good BBC episodes and try and forget things. A good book perhaps? Like you if I could just loose a great deal of weight so many things would change. But losing weight safely is the key. So do your best and dont sabotage yourself.
Wishing all a good night.0 -
MONDAY
Good morning, up .2 but holding so that works for me.
What plans do we have this week to stay on plan?? I have more vegetable /vegetarian dishes.
Today is learning how to load Medicare insurance on computer at work, so hope to walk off some of the frustration....
Wave to all who follow.1 -
Good Monday AM!
Lana - glad all is ok in your neck of CA. No TV/internet would be a nice break once in a while.
Sara - you are so good - black bean burritos all frozen up for future meals - way to go. they sound great! Cones for dogs are NOT fun. Although your dogs are smaller. My lab was like a bull in a china shop with that thing on her head
Hope she feels better soon. Running mine to vet - two bumps on her that I don't like the look of- we will see. That is on the agenda for tomorrow. I will be a sweaty mess by the time we are done lol
Laura - I echo everyone's thoughts - take care of yourself!
Dawn - CONGRATS! one year already. Although I would skip the scary movies Not a fan myself. Sounds like you had a great anniversary together though!
AOTW - Pre plan my meals. Deny my sweet tooth and get my snacking back on schedule.
Have a great one - waves to all! Lurking.

Thank you! It was a nice, peaceful day. We actually had a warm enough day, that we were able to carve pumpkins outside. Makes clean up much easier. .
Hope you had a great day!0 -
Lynn- thank you! DH doesn't care for scary movies, either. But, he lets me indulge occasionally...lol... it was a really nice day1

Dawn belated Hsppy Anniversary. Glad you had a lovely day.
Thanks for all warm wishes and advice. Really kind and very helpful ❤️
So sorry to see such devastation from fires and problems with power in CA and awful tornados in Dallas. Do pray you and families are all safe and warm with power. Looks so sad all these poor people affected losing their homes.
Hope we are all keeping at trying on this weight loss journey. I empathise with those who like me say at times can’t control what put in my mouth. It’s so difficult. Hang in there. At least we keep trying and that is the thing - not to give up xxxx

TUESDAY
Good morning,
In order to stay where I am living transferring to a new apt (so they can upgrade mine and get more $$$) I need a letter of gift from my father that is notarized. Now I know why the one bedrooms are all vacant - people are getting roommates to lessen their rent bill. Dont know anyone who wants to move or that I trust and I have Miss T and some people have allergies etc. So there it is -
Headache from training, high winds, dumb rent policies, kept me from doing any packing/ tossing last night.
Miss T is being a hassle with her eye issue and the meds and if I didnt know how tough it was and how little she understands the cure is worth it, I would be screaming at her more. She is hiding in the closet her safe place right now.
Wave to all who follow. Make your best choice and if it is high calorie - drink a glass of water to rationalize it!! That rule only applies to today.

I have decided 2019 has been such a bad year that I have a compost heap to show for it. So question is, what should I grow with it?? Self esteem and better health would be a good start.2

My "trying" has kinda stalled..I could blame it on a number of things...I know, I could stop myself...I chose not to...
