Good evening,
Monster was on a mission and not happy today - I kept out of her way as much as possible.
5500 steps and counting may not get 6k but it is more than 5k.
Cold and should be wet so lots of snow in mountains??? Hope so.
Time to bundle up and ZZZZ...
Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -
We got a good lot of snow today. It's very pretty and now that my driveway is cleared and roads are plowed, I can really just enjoy how pretty it is. I love how quiet it is outside during a good snowfall.
No exercise for the 3rd day in a row. I hope we have a lot of sun tomorrow so I can jog without slipping. I fell into the snow this morning--not hurt at all, but so cold!
Sara, I'm sorry you have to find ways to manage your supervisor. She sounds like a real piece of work. I hope you get to give feedback on her performance. People leave bosses, not jobs. You have been a real trooper to put up with her.0 -

Hey Maureen - I am struck by what you said to Sara because it is SO true: People leave bosses, not jobs. I had never heard that before; I wish that I had.
So Sara, I hope that you have a decent day today, and give Monster a W I D E berth.
Also Maureen, I hope that you get that (safe) exercise that you crave. Glad you love the beauty and quiet of the snowfalls.
Waving to Missy and Runa and Kathryn and Dawn and Melissa and Oishii and Sunflower and Joariley and Lynn and Tracy in Tennesseeeeeeeeee 🤗

Good morning, Cabana Crew!
Yesterday it was 65 degrees. We are expecting snow to start here in West Tennessee around noon.
My eating habits have gone off the rails again. Pretty sure I am battling a light to medium depression. Exhausted, unmotivated, less than interested in personal grooming. I know what to do, I don't have the energy to do it. I do manage to make myself presentable and partially personable when I have to interact in public.
I am so overloaded at work that I worked 16 hours on Friday and 13 on Monday to try to catch up. This is my normal busy time of year with registration renewals, but the additional duties added last year have seen a major increase. The person who sent order confirmations with drawings before me said normally there are 5-7 per week to send. I have received no less than 6 per day since November. Each file takes 30-45 minutes to complete a process. Week before last, I did 32. I'll leave you to do the math.
In addition to work, our bartender at the Moose tested positive for the dread disease. Fortunately, she was asymptomatic. The Women of the Moose pitched together and volunteered to bartend. I pulled Saturday and opened at 2 pm. We had very few customers, so I closed the Lodge at 8:30.
As they say, this too shall pass. May pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass.
Thanks for being a sounding board for me. I try not to complain much, but sometimes you gotta let it out.
Do the best you can in the situation you have.

Tracy - you can come and complain to us any time you wish! We are here to listen. Do what you can to take care of yourself. Yes, this too shall pass, possibly just like a kidney stone! 😂
Lynn, I am happy for you that the sun in shining. OK, a bit envious too ☀️

Good evening,
Wind was so strong and LOUD last night it was hard to sleep - electricity kept going out as well. Storm is coming eastward so watch for it. No sun for another week here??
Fell down at work I was moving tree branches away from my car. Elbow took the worst and will have my neighbor take a look at it tonight just to be safe.
Food is a little better but that doesnt say too much.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Good morning 🌬❄️ We got a little bit of snow overnight. Sky is dark gray. Boohoo.
Sara - so sorry you got hurt yesterday. Is your elbow going to be OK?

Good morning,
Sara! Hope you are ok from your fall. We had a little snow. It was pretty for the hour it fell. All melted when it hit the ground.
Here's a happy after all my griping. I have set a new personal record at bowling for each of the last two weeks. On 01/20, I bowled a 201. Only the 2nd time I have ever bowled over 200. Last night, I bowled five strikes in a row! Never done that before!
It's the little things.
Tracy in Tennessee3 -
Hello!
Yikes Sara - sounds like stressful weather! Hope you are ok.
Lana - sending sunshine your way!
Tracy - whoop! congrats on the bowling score!
Not much new here. Just checking in.

Good morning,
Stayed home and got out of bed at 11 so obviously I needed the sleep. Made WC report before I left work yesterday Monster is mad it is end of the month and I make third person out.
My elbow works but the whole elbow is bruised my neighbor the nurse could see it better than I could - so no knitting. I can read books for awhile I guess.
Tracy - I loved bowling but 200 for me was an event - so I understand.
We are getting the rain we need, but it also comes with the mess of dead branches and half dead trees so it is harder to drive than walk anywhere.
Will have lunch and then pop back into bed.1 -

Good morning everyone~~
I just bailed on my Friday ladies walk. It is quite cold out, and I know that I will have trouble breathing/coughing. I am hoping to go by myself in the middle of the afternoon when the temps will be better OR, I might just go to a Home Depot or Target and push the shopping cart around the perimeter several times!! Why not?
Sara - I hope that your elbow improves steadily. 😘
Lynn - you might be laughing at me complaining of the cold~❄️
Tracy - Good for you with that 201 🎳👍🏻
It's Friday, so the Cabana Boys will be having a fancy happy hour for us 🎶🌴🍇🧀🍹🎶🌴

FANCY happy hour? May I have two umbrellas in my drink for fancy happy hour? I promise to wear my best pajamas. 😄😄😄2

Fancy happy hour??? I will be sure to drink with my pinky raised.
Waves to all. Hectic day. Managing a quick check in.

Oh, lord, I'm the friend who doesn't do fancy. I'm wearing sweats top and bottom. Hair tossed up in a messy bun. No bra. Ankle socks and Berkies (in the house). I'll sit on the other side of the room and slam down virgin pina coladas.
Sara, that fall sounds painful. I hope it heals quickly.
I got in a nice jog yesterday with pull-on spikes for the icy roads. I had to go rather slowly (even more slowly than my usual slow), so it felt pretty good after the first half mile. The first 0.5-1.0 always feels awful. But the rest usually feels good. I really like feeling so warm in the cold.
I'm down to food in the house that I don't want to eat, which makes it easier to avoid over eating. Gotta pick up groceries tomorrow or Sunday. Mostly looking forward to a temp above 30 F.
Enjoy your weekend, folks.0 -
Good afternoon-
oooooh sounds like a party tonight, as many umbrellas in all colors, pinkies up and I promise not to swear. This is going to be a "red letter day" for the books!!
Just glad its Friday. We are getting rain/snow we need but what a mess.
Tomorrow is groceries so I am thinking of weekly food plan. However tonight's party is a little distracting so I will think of next week later.
Get on your party/tennis shoes and lets dance!!
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Good morning ☀️
Ladies, you all looked lovely yesterday with your sweatpants, pajamas, and tiaras, with your pinkies raised 💝
i happened to choose a frozen meal for my lunch and for my dinner yesterday that were stupid high in sodium - all puffy today. *sob* I just didn't connect the dots, and obviously hadn't pre-planned my food.

Good morning,
Lana I watch the sodium in those things- they taste great as you know but some are ridiculously high in sodium. Keep drinking that water.
Got a tri tip to bake with my vegetables and then make a couple of salads this week. I have an herb base for "green goddess" dressing that I will mix with plain greek yogurt and make my own dressing (lower salt).
Dont worry I also bought a bag of potato chips to make sure I have my salt intake!!
Meet up with a couple ladies from work for lunch.
Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -
Snowing again here--but warmer, in the low 30s. A nice day for a jog. Otherwise, I'm just watching Netflix and hanging with the dogs.
I tend to have low sodium--I haven't salted food since I was 14 and I sweat a lot. I think it's why I get dizzy when I stand up too quickly. The better shape I'm in, the more careful I have to be about standing up. It's been like that since I started playing basketball also at 14. My resting heart rate has always been fairly low (52-54) and my doctors just tell me not to stand up quickly. A small price to pay for the benefits of regular aerobic exercise.0 -
Good afternoon,
Will take some soap strips to lady who makes bags for homeless people. Otherwise I will be inside cooking and baking.
Hope the after noon is slow and a little lazy,
National Hot Chocolate Day - cold enough to enjoy one!!!

Hey all~~
Just stopping through late in the day Sunday. I got all turned around this morning and forgot to get here. Yikes
Lana0 -
Happy evening,
Tri tip turned out well and I have enough for 5 meals -one more with roasted vegetables. 2 for stead salads and a piece to stick in freezer and make a nice juicy sandwich down the road. Shame I almost set one of my kitchen mitts on fire. I thought I was doing so well and luckily I didnt leave too far from the kitchen. Beginning to understand why older people dont cook.
Wishing all a good night.1 -
*** February 1st ***
Good morning all~~
It's February already.
🥁🥁🥁I have news: I had an email exchange with Dawn. She is doing ok. She hasn't been here because she was having serious technical difficulties with getting into the MFP site. She is thinking of making a new user name and everything. Work has been tough for her, and it was fitting, so I told her of Maureen's observation of "people leave their bosses, not their jobs".
It is so overcast here. Gray and wet. Not very inspiring for the beginning of a new week and a new month.

Good morning. I forgot to log yesterday so I'm going to try to keep up through the day, not wait to the end. Sunny here today and the snow walls are getting high out on the street. I always feel like a kid building a fort when that happens--imagine me huddled under the dining room table with a blanket over it, shouting, "No boys allowed!"
Sorry to hear of Dawn's troubles--I had that happen too. I'm on my 2nd or 3rd username here.
Anyone have travel plans coming up? I'm trying to plan a quick visit to my son who rented a small apartment on Miami Beach for Jan and Feb. He's got an oceanfront view. I could use the break, too. Then back down for Spring Break to St. Pete. I haven't seen my mom since September. She is in very good hands; I just need to spend time with her.
Hoping y'all have a great day.

Good Monday morning!
Maureen - travel plans? What are those? LOL Sounds like great plans for you! I was just thinking I should make some plans to visit my daughter in CO. Maybe closer to spring!
Good morning Sara, Lana and all others who stop in.
Lana - glad you "talked" with Dawn some. Thanks for updating us.
Have a great one!
