    Good afternoon,

    Medication is giving me a rash but I must finish the next 3 days - let them know if it gets painful or I have trouble breathing (one of those messages that makes falling asleep so easy.....)

    Neighbor will go and get some topical lotion just in case.

    Ladies from church brought by 2 meals of soup - butternut squash and broccoli cheese. So nice of them and good soup.

    Back under the covers,

    Wishing all a great day, Stay safe and sane out there.

    TUESDAY

    Good morning,

    Not often anymore that I start, but here I am.

    Waiting for food delivery and some telemarketing phone call woke me up, so I have about an hour nap......

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

    Good morning Tracy - Happy Monday, if there is such a thing! Thanks for getting us started this morning. 🎭

    I'm scurrying around to be ready for the Lyft driver. It's rainy and quite dreary here.

    Sara - good to hear that you got dressed and got out a bit. As you say: baby steps will get you there.

    Missy - have a great day up north.

    Trouble007 - you too have a great day~~ Where do you live?

    Hi all,
    I'm definitely a serial starter, but to be fair to myself, several of the slow starts have come after illnesses, injuries, etc. I had a little rainbow baby 14 mos ago and I was doing great, until I tore something in my abdomen doing farmy things. I'm hoping I'm mad and focused enough to get to a healthy size, though I don't have a clue how I'm going to get my cardio in with a toddler who hates confinement. I crave accountability, even if it's from strangers and I am straight up addicted to eating out. I needed to say that out loud so maybe I'll dent that habit a bit(?) Thanks for listening 🤪

    Welcome to the group! I hope you make a full recovery soon.

    Thank you! I'm slow to get the groove of this thread, but happy laboring :-)

    Good morning Ladies ~~

    Sara! Thanks for getting us started. I slept in this morning, and I am now in your time zone for 8 days.

    Britt - be kind with yourself 🤗 Make a Britt Box in your fridge that has fruit and other healthy things--that don't necessarily need refrigeration, but you keep all of this together in one spot. I saw this idea somewhere, and it is good for someone who has "other people food" in their house.

    Time to get in the shower and then go grocery shopping with my sister.

    Missy - I always loved that term.....I looked it up on Wikipedia, and they spell it will an A: paddiddle, but they gave many ways to spell it. 😁

    My sister picked me up at the airport, and her passenger side rear view mirror had popped out and was still held onto the car somehow....just flapping in the breeze. 😳

    I am tired; time for a nap.

    Same here. Days like these make me envious of people who have fireplaces. Never again will I buy a house without one.

    Saturday

    Good evening,

    Days slide by quickly. Had hair colored/washed and that was a nice change.

    Junk food in the house, I decided it was my Thanksgiving. Getting up and about more.

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

    Good morning ☀️

    Sara - glad to hear that you got out and about and had your hair done. That is good for the spirits.

    Now where is that coffee of mine? I am very sleepy 🥱

    Good morning,

    Coffee sounds good here too.... Got dressed to go watch soccer but it is not on today - bleh.

    So will put kettle on and start a shawl. I found enough yarn to make 2 very pretty shawls.

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

    Good Night all!

    Busy day at my job yesterday and today. Didn’t have near enough coffee for today’s shift.

    Sara- how are you feeling?

    Time for one 💤 s and resting my foot as it was a lot of time on it and it’s kinda achy.

    It's Monday!

    Production week. True to form in my community theatre, we will not have a full cast on stage until opening night. Tonight is a Christmas parade--several of our child actors are in the parade. Tomorrow night--one actor has to leave early for clinic. Wednesday, our pianist has to play at her church. No rehearsal Thursday because six of our people, including the director/Foley artist are members of the community chorus having THEIR last practice before their Christmas show.

    Friday night is opening night. Keeping fingers crossed that everyone shows up then.

    Hope everyone had a great weekend.

    Do the best you can in your situation.

    Good morning Tracy ☀️
    That is wild about having rehearsals while missing people, but it's worth it to have happen a production of the beloved story. Friday's performance will be fun, even if there is a flub or two. 😁

    Missy - yes, take care of your foot! You work a lot of hours 🤗

    Sara - you are a soccer fan? That's cool.
    What colors are the shawls going to be?
    During this visit with my sister, we went to a yarn shop in Half Moon Bay, and she treated herself to some sea-glass colored yarn to make herself a turtle neck sweater.

    Tomorrow I get up very early for my flight to NYC, so I may miss stopping by here.

    Everyone have a great day!

    Good evening,

    Tracy - you are a busy lady.

    Missy - I am doing better, conflict between sleeping as much as possible and getting walking in....

    Lana- one is beige/browns and gray, other is two shades of teal, ice cream cone brown and a little gray for shawls.

    Wednesday is follow up with Dr. and will find out when I go back to work. Need to also go to work to tell boss when I am coming back and do some computer communication I cannot do from home.

    Watching baking on pbs.

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