    Good morning!
    Lana - I do not know if it is surgery or what next step is. I do have Dr. appt on Friday. So answers then hopefully. The internet says maybe just cortisone injections to keep swelling and pain down. That would be good!
    Sara - glad you had a 1/2 day and good news from Dr.
    AZrising - too late to tell you NO - No icecream for you :) I hope you found the distraction you needed. My temptation is not icecream, it is usually pretzels, chips and the like. And chocolate.
    Another warm day in WI, but then cold for a couple of days. crazy temperature swings.
    Have a great day! Waves to all!

    Hi all! Been watching a family of robins grow in a bush in front of my house and a baby garter snake deciding to make my garage door it’s home.

    Lynn - good to hear that you have that appointment on Friday--let us know!

    Missy - that is amazing about both the snake and the baby robins. At first I couldn't find the babies in the photo. Then my brain realized what I was seeing--so cute!

    See y'all tomorrow~~

    Good evening,

    Lana -thank you I kept seeing "snake" in bird photo - made me look again - duh moment. Extra points for you taking on The Project.

    Boss was in overdrive - her trainer said she would be out all week. I wonder if trainer is doing this just to be a pain. Boss probably got all her steps in today as she was literally running all over the place.

    Tomorrow is my day off and 3 errands tomorrow and laundry tonight will make my weekend quite lovely and now that I can see a 3 day weekend coming - whoopie!!

    Lynn hope the Dr visit gives you some options.

    Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

    Hellow!
    Missy- crunchy snacks???lol so you can crunch really loud and irritate people. I am going to get some right now to do just that ! LOL
    Lana - binoculars? What are you watching?
    Rhiannon...sorry, but you are back, that is a good step.
    Sara - do you sometimes just sit back and watch that woman and thank the all mighty power that you are not her?
    Have a great rest of the day.

    Good morning
    Love the pup pics. Beautiful! Also intrigued by the wine. Was it good?
    So bad news on the MRI front. I also have a torn miniscus. no idea how to spell that. I see the orthopedic dr. this pm. Sigh....I would expect this if I played basketball or something, but the most I do is walk and hike. A bit frustrating. But we will see what today brings.
    Have a great Friday!. Waves to all!

    Missy - Thank you for getting us started today! Love, love, love the doggie photos! They must be SO cuddly with all of that flooof! Heavenly!

    Lynn - good gracious! What news 😱 Did the bone spur tear the meniscus? (I know nothing about knees)
    Do let us know what doctor says. Sending hugs 🤗

    They are very cuddly. The best pack to come home to after a long, stressful day at work.

    Good evening,

    I was playing hooky and hiding under a rock - I allowed myself to get talked into working tomorrow morning as the new employee "cant work by herself in an empty department". I am calling the money - my even sooner next facial.

    Poundage for me is connected to not taking my water pill, I now have a little box written into my calendar to remind me. Little steps will help,

    Lynn?? Oww. I am hoping they are talking braces /scooters so you dont walk on it and not the s word. Keep us posted.

    I am fortunate enough to get Monday off. I do not have many errands/chores to do this weekend. I also had two baby cup sizes of cookies and cream ice cream after work. Not complaining just stating. Lynn asked if I sit back and watch Monster - I steer clear of her bad karma as much as possible. She had to train 3 people today because our trainer was out for week on sick leave - again.

    Mario got sent to Bolivia last year for bad behavior. Lana dont tell me you paid his plane ticket back.

    Wishing all a good night.

    Happy Saturday 👋🏻

    Sara - Here's to a decent Saturday at work if it's only you and the newbie.

    As for Mario - actually I did not know he got hustled off to Bolivia. I certainly wouldn't pay for him to come back, but you never know if or when he might use his charms on some wealthy, deluded Bolivian woman, and she would leave it all to him in her will, and then manage to go early to her reward. 😳

    Hello hello hello. I'm only 3 POUNDS away from onederland. I've been tracking everyday, but at night sometimes I lose myself. I'm really trying to cut back on sugar. I have a coke addiction....but I'm working on it. I've been trying to substitute with coconut water, which is helping. I only ever have one coke per day but still it's soooo bad for me. Gotta try and kick that habit. I haven't really been drinking so I've been saving calories there. I'm officially down 20 pounds! It's coming off slowly and going up a down a lot but I'm making progress! This app is amazing, especially now that I have some friends and have an actual news feed. This community is great too.
    It's going to be a labour intensive day today because we're finishing our basement suite. I gotta clean and get ready for a dump run and help my partner put in windows. We have to get all this stuff done before our drywaller comes in a couple weeks so the pressure is on. I'm so sick of renovating...we just did our whole upstairs and now we're doing the suite. I'm just tired of it haha.
    Anyways, here's to another weekend where tracking is always tough but hopefully I'll keep on it! Happy Saturday everyone!

    Good afternoon,

    A 3 hour planned ot became 5 as the database kept dumping more claims..... but to quote Steve Miller Band "ahoo lord, go on take the money and run...."

    HOT is the word of the weekend. So water is key .

    Lady C - I am hearing your efforts and that is important. 20 pounds is a celebration - good for you!!!! Keep the small steps forward going.

    Lana - dont give that Mario any ideas - boy did I let a cat out of the bag sending him your way!! It does however also bring up the idea of -- things could be worse, he could be your date......

    Stay safe and sane and enjoy the weekend.

    Jordanna - Congratulations on your amazing progress. My heart goes out to you on that renovation work. Awful. I hope that there will be some pleasant-ness this Memorial Day weekend.

    Sara - that's a lot of OT! Nothing worse that fighting with a failing data system. Blech. When you get home, pamper yourself.

    Well, I procrastinated, and I am paying the price for leaving everything to the last few days to wrangle my downstairs guest area for my sister's visit on Wednesday. Everything needs to be washed. All the towels etc are technically clean, but it's been 2 years since they've been used by anyone. The comforters need to go to the laundromat because they don't fit in my washer.

    I guess I'll just take it in bite-sized sessions.

    Next time, yes, I will get Merry Maids.

    Hi everybody~~

    Just getting us started. Yesterday, I thought it was Friday somehow. I set up my whole list of what to do every day before my sister gets here. Then, this morning, I realized I have one less day than I thought.

    So, I'm brewing up a "pot of ambition", as my sister calls her coffee, and I'm going to do the best that I can.
    The Cabana Boys are not much help with this sort of thing. 🌴

    Lana, how nice your sister can come. And hello! I keep saying I'm going to be consistent--and I am, consistently NOT consistent on here. I miss it.

    After closing on the house on the 14th, I've been in a hotel with various kids and dogs :) Skye is awesome but Radar was a barking, nervous wreck. Only here a few hours each time b/c of that. He is living with my ex and his new wife now, b/c I knew apartment living would not be for Radar. I will miss him like crazy but my boys will see him regularly and I know he will be happy and well-cared for.

    My job offer is nearly complete--still negotiating salary as much as I can, but I'm taking a bigger pay cut than expected. Oh, well. I hope it all works out. Might need a roommate though; we will see.

    I've been able to rest from the move and get lots of fresh air and exercise. Work is definitely winding down. 6 days left for me. Can't wait to be DONE and free to move about the country! :)

    Pics of my Skye to amuse you. 8dfqrf6tfq1b.jpeg

    Good morning all~~

    Missy - sorry to hear about the foul weather. Maybe today will be better?

    Maureen - So things are really moving along, literally. Are you taking any of your children with you to Charlotte, or will you be living alone (with Skye)? Wishing you all the best - big life changes, but once you are settled, you will love it! Big hugs 🤗 Oh--congrats on your weight loss!

    Waving to all who stop by later on 👋🏻

    Good morning

    Its not even lunchtime and I can tell it will be HOT 104 and higher. It either rains this weekend or fries us. Water helps but it is only so interesting.

    Wearing my flag shirt for Memorial Day - also wear it when I can for Veterans Day.

    I thought I stopped by yesterday - ooops. Down in weight so that is encouraging.

    Found out the ladies at church are having a $20.00 a plate luncheon on Wednesday from Panera , too much money for me and I am a latecomer-so I went to the store this morning and got a salad mix for one, some cheese crackers and will bring my own drink and dessert probably $10 and half the sodium. So my Wednesday morning got busy. First hair cut/color and then meeting. Groceries afterwards (depending on the heat).

    Will try as much as possible to get my steps in soon outside.

    Stay safe and sane out there.

    This year is flying by! Can’t believe it is June already. It’s birthday month for me. Just another year older and wiser. Had a busy Saturday, Sunday at my weekend job and had yesterday off. Just took the day to relax. It rained all weekend which is great to keep the pollen levels at bay. @Tilliesmommy1 ill send some rain to you. Have plenty to share. Next weekend is supposed to be nice and hot for our area (mid to high 80’s). $20 a plate? At Panera? That seems like a lot!

    @mkculs13 love the pictures of Skye! Moving, new job negotiations you got a lot going on! Stinks about Radar. It’s tough. Yeah I’ve thought about getting a roommate myself but scared about getting the wrong one. Hopefully the new job will provide better with negotiations.

    @LanaCabana537 hope you enjoy time with your sister and love the name for coffee. It a perfect description for it. And can’t start my day without it.

    I have an appointment with my new primary today and hope it goes well! Both my mom and sister liked her so I’m assuming I will too.

    Hope everyone has a great Monday on a Tuesday.

    ~Missy
