Serial Starters

Good morning,
Day off, so sleeping in happens first.
Sat in bed and created a set of meals so I knew it was time to get up and function. Shred chicken with bbq sauce/canned beans/cornbread muffins/boiled greens.
So I am off to the store. Then I need to clean kitchen so I can mess it up again. Never ending story this one.....
Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -
Sara - so glad to hear that sleeping in happens first for you! I am very envious, as I have lost my ability to sleep in.
Nikki - I am getting confused when I read your post--my fault, not yours.
Are you saying that a woman took care of several/all of your horses, starved them all, and one of them died? Where are all of your surviving horses now?
The whole situation sounds awful.
Also I need a translation: you said "she will be backed next year" Does that mean trained to ride under saddle or that she will be bred?
😘
🌴 I get extra credit: I walked with the ladies in the pouring rain today, and I even got in the pool for 25 minutes.
😈 I get TEN DEMERITS because I let my divorce emotions get the better of me, and I ordered several MAJOR POINTS cocktails from The Cabana Boys just now.

That’s actually what sent me off the rails. My hubby was in hospital really seriously ill to the point we didn’t expect him to make it and the woman paid to feed and care for our young horses starved them and he died. The RSPCA prosecuted her successfully earlier this year but she didn’t even get banned from keeping horses. I couldn’t say anything and the whole thing caused me a breakdown. Moose was my hubby’s way of trying to pull me back out. He’s a dude though, a really good lad. We have another Irish Draught, a 16hh 3 year old filly belonging to my daughter. She will be backed next year so I want to be able to help with that. I’ll try to add a pic of her too.
Tracey that sounds amazing, I don’t know how I’ll do it what with 6 horses 4 dogs, 4 cats, my parents and hubby to look after but where there’s a will etc. Kinda hoping to be able to go to NYC Christmas shopping with my daughter but that’ll only be a weekend. Possibly doing Florida next year as daughter hasn’t been to Disneyland yet. Though she’ll be 18 by then!
Lana I hope you’re less tired now, no fun feeling exhausted. Sara sounds like great fun decorating!
Happy Wednesday all 😊
That’s awful. She should be banned. Idk how people can not take care of animals. Sending hugs.
Yeah got to go to Disney at least once.

Happy Friday Y'all ☀️
Nikki - fabulous photo of your daughter with horse and pup 🥰
You mentioned a possible trip with daughter to NYC to go shopping. Please be aware that my poor old city is still making its recovery from covid. Broadway shows are getting back up, and I think the larger stores for your shopping will be good, and I'm hoping that the hotels are OK (don't know if they have full staff and services?), but in midtown Manhattan you will see a lot of empty storefronts from so many shops and restaurants that closed for good. Just wanted you to know, since it's no small undertaking to come across the pond.
🌴 Cabana Boys have planned a nice Happy Hour for us today 😉⛱🌴

Hi all,
Lana yes the woman paid to look after both Caoimhe in the picture above and my young boy who was her cousin, starved a total of 17 horses, but my boy was the one who died. She knew my husband was in hospital and we couldn’t visit so she stopped feeding them. It was the worst thing I’ve ever gone through. Still not really over it now but you have to move on eventually. Backing is a British term for starting under saddle, so being trained to be ridden. My daughter is really excited about it.
Walking in the pouring rain has to count for something against those cocktails?
So today is Friday and it’s my non working day, I compress my full time hours into 4 days so I get Fridays off. Sadly though they’re now filled with housework and all the jobs I don’t have time for in the week. This morning was puppy vaccinations so they’re all good to go out and will start puppy classes next week, I’m quite excited about that. We want to show them (I figure it’s more exercise) so we’re taking them to a local ring raft puppy class. That’s next Wednesday! The rest of today will be taken up with cleaning and mopping this place! Happy Friday all 😊2 -
Happy Friday!!!!
TGIF
Glad this week is almost over looking forward to a day off tomorrow.
I forgot to weigh in this morning smh will have to do that tomorrow morning. Need to make myself a reminder.

Good evening,
TGIF - I will eat decadent chocolate things while Lana has her drinks.
Coworker complained to Monster about my not being a team player. I was able to give my boss examples of how my coworker is a negative nagging Nellie. Walked outside after meeting with Monster and caught my foot on the door mat in the company lobby doorway and fell down. I know tomorrow will be the worst day.
.......Insert colorful language here.......
Cafe is trying pizza at work and it is good and so much that it is my dinner as well. Spread that salt around.
Find me in the chair peeking out wrapped with the warm blanket.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
Here I am again, starting again. Hopefully the last restart!!! Hi to all 😊3

Happy Saturday all!
Hope everyone has a good weekend. I’m happy to report that the weighing is going well, admittedly I have so much to lose that this is just a drop in the ocean, but I’m 10.4lbs down in a little over two weeks. Most of it is water weight from suddenly starting to drink 3 litres of water a day but it’s still made me happy and given me the motivation to keep on keeping on!
Now for a day filled with ponies and chores!5 -
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Apple Picking with the family is planned for today along with a virtual graduate school open house.
Edited to add stats-
And ouch I weighed myself. I definitely stress ate this week.

Roz and Missy,
I've never done any of the food delivery things, but it might be a good idea to do for a little while to bring new dishes into your life.
A friend of mine, who is a rather good cook, said the other day that he is tired of his own cooking. That can certainly happen.

Good afternoon,
Knees are okay, I did take tylenol before going to bed.
Pot of greens is almost done cooking.
I forgot to add as I was leaving work Friday I saw an ATM card and I yelled to the lady walking in front of me (too far away for anything else) asking if she dropped her card. I stopped and asked her her name to make sure I gave her her card.... It has fallen out of her pocket.
Spoke with father about "defensive driving" at work with my Kamikaze coworker. Just shaking my head.
It is on my to do list to get the rest of my steps in after the greens have had their last 30 minutes of cooking.
Corn Muffins will have to wait for now and that's okay too.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Happy Sunday,
Went to watch football Bears/Browns, watched long enough to go take a walk instead.
Knitting and napping are on tap for today.

Hi Sara!
I just got a little notification from MFPal saying that I should check in.
I didn’t realize that I didn’t post this morning!
🤪 Dang!
See you in the morning 😴

Happy Monday all!
Think I’m ahead of you all being in the UK. Hope everyone had a good weekend. I’ve got the 1lb back on again so focus today is on drinking more water because I know my calorie intake wasn’t high enough to justify that!
Hope everyone else is doing well?0 -
*** September 27 ***
Good morning all 🌼
Nikki - that 1 pound really means that you are even. Just keep going in the right direction, and you will see things change for the better over time. 👍🏻
Sara - I hope that you have a decent day at work and stay out of the line of fire and blowtorches and kamikazes!
Waving to all who stop by later on!
