Good evening,
Cooler temps are helping with the multiple fires in the mountains. We have until Nov. until our Fire Season ends.
Our department party (waited since June for this), is going to be Pirate themed. Luckily for me Amazon helped me out.
Weight is stinky but I continue to walk.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Yesterday's yard work paid off; I walked 3.3 miles without actually going anywhere 🤣
Today might be more of the same.
Sara - Pirate themed party? That sounds like a lot of fun!

Good evening,
Rain coming this weekend. Hope that Fall stays.
Eating is slowly improving. I am hoping to do better shopping this weekend. Seems I am to get boss her birthday present this weekend. Extra gold stars for me.

Hi all! Quick check in before bed. All is going for the most part alright. Work is busy. Older dog probably has cushings disease has all the symptoms and youngest has partial tears in his ACL. He is getting laser therapy to see if surgery can be avoided. Hope all is well with everyone. Have a nice night! Missy2

Yay for Friday!
Sara - so YOU get to procure the gift for the boss, eh? All sorts of evil things are running through my mind...... 😈
Missy - sorry to hear of the health problems with the puppers. Big hugs to you and them 🤗
I'll be back later - must run errands now before the stores get too crowded.

Good evening,
Sorry Lana came home last night and dropped.
Bought candy kept it PC but they had cute lollipop holders with witches hat and I bought one for coworker as their last day is 09/30. How long I will be there alone I dont know.
Spent most of today sleeping as well. Food has been better and I have vegetable bowls to make for the next 3 - 4 days. I went and bought Udon noodles to help.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -

Good morning all~~
Sara - get your rest - it is so important. I hope that you do some fun things today.
I do love udon noodles! I never think to seek them out. This week I did buy some angel hair pasta that comes in little "nests". That makes portion control very easy - not that it is hard to pull out the food scale and weigh regular pasta, but jeez I can be lazy.....

It’s been a pretty successful September I found a part time job. I’ve lost 19 lbs since July 1. , I’ve bicycled everyday.
September 10 my throat was sore, I went to work. The 13th I called my boss I have worked feeling worse than this allergies but that was before Covid . I am coughing sneezing. I took the Covid test it was negative. I volunteer for a tourist railroad I did that.
Thursday my husband started coughing yesterday we both tested Covid positive. I have no fever never have. Husband has fever.
It is hard to exercise in I rode .5 mile yesterday .

Good evening,
Laundry going, boss has her chocolate all ready to go and "impress the neighbors" at work as the box comes in a big bag announcing where it came from.
Vegetables are roasting for dinner. Getting the dishwasher running will almost finish my to do list.
Scale has been kind -see how long that lasts!!!

Good morning everyone~~
Sara - I hope that boss is happy with her gift and that you have a very good day today.
My sister down in Redwood City said she was getting some rain. Did any come your way?
JJLBrick - Congratulations on getting your new job and on your weigh loss! Good for you!
Today is walking with the ladies on the Pumpkin Loop......🎃

Good evening,
Lana we got beautiful rain through late last night. Skies are a pretty blue again.
Today's work party was underwhelming - food only with little bag of gifts (mainly sugar) - I gave mine to co worker with small child. Taking boss's bday present tomorrow to leave on desk (got almost everyone to sign her card today). By Thursday all this stupid stuff will be done for another year.
Got 6k today and dared my coworkers to get extra steps tomorrow. Work off some of the stress. I have a headset with an extra long cord - so dancing for me.
Coffee and tea (sugar, and half and half) lounge side with fresh fruit waiting for Lana and I.
Wishing everyone a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
Sara - that is fabulous about the rain as well as the blue skies! Good for you!
You are doing a fine job of getting your steps in!
My laptop had to be ordered. Poo.
Time for bed~~ Sweet dreams everyone~~

Good evening,
Had a friend challenge to beat our daily goal. If I didnt do it before sitting down and posting it was not going to happen. Put on the suction cups of headphones with a loooooonnnnngggg cord and danced 4500 extra steps. I will do that once a week it is fun and good for me.
Lana - sorry they had to order it but at least it will be here soon.
Rain gone for rest of week - supposed to be lower 90's again soon. So glad I didnt switch my clothes. It is only September after all.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
*** September 22 ***
Thursday already??? Wow.
I have been in a bit of a fog the past couple of days. My friend/former sister-in-law (from first marriage) on Long Island, NY who has the brain cancer has not been able to eat as of Monday; so it's just a matter of days now, I'm told.
So my suitcase is open and half packed. She is not awake so I won't be visiting; I'll just be flying up for the wake and funeral, when I get the word.
Sara - I love your idea of dancing to get those steps! I will do some of that to perk myself up.

Good evening,
Here is the quandary -- how do you take someone seriously who treats you like a 16 month old? Yup. Dragon Lady who is off site until Tuesday, left an email to the group telling us to stay on goal. I work in the same area with the temps who know they are on their last days at the company. I am not responsible for them and yet if they are loud is reflects on me. I cant win on this one. I hope she gains weight eating her rich calorie laden birthday chocolate.
Okay enough of her. Temps here are nice and sleeping is easier. If I can get the brain to stop spinning, that would be nice.
Lana - oh dear. Knowing something is going to happen is a kindness but you still have to go through it. Be kind to yourself and be as flexible as possible. Create a reward for yourself after all is done.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
*** September 23 ***
I feel like Dory ↑. I don't know what day it is!
Sara - I really do feel for you regarding the Dragon Lady. Some people have really poor people skills. My friend James is a wardrobe supervisor. He's toured with shows on the road, on Broadway, and he spent two decades+ at the Metropolitan Opera. Now he is back on Broadway. He is fabulous at organizing a department; he is perfect for dealing with stars and their egos, but doggonit that man cannot relate to a wardrobe crew. He has amazingly poor people skills--he talks down to them; he is pushy and judgmental. For over the 40+ years in the business, he has not one person loyal to him, not one "regular" who wants to work for him.
It's a forehead-slapper, and Dragon Lady seems a bit like that.
Time to run....

Good evening,
This week has been a bit crazy like your meme - maybe the change in weather or people are just tired. People who hate everything isolate themselves. They dont get it. Maybe they dont want it. Who knows.
I have 2 days to recharge. I have no clue what to get for meals. I guess I will just have to wing it.
Lana- hang in there. I have a list of people I send good thoughts too every day at the moment (when it rains it pours kind of thing). Never know it may just do some good.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
*** September 24 ***
Good morning all~~
Sara - the sending of good thoughts to people does work, and it also is good for your soul 💖
Today I will be working in the back yard to get my activity/steps in.

Whoohoo ! I’ll skip right over Halloween and Thanksgiving for Christmas. Decorations are going up lol kidding1 -
Good evening,
Mondays are always fun at work, people call and the computer databases dont work - just shake my head.
Hey skip right to Christmas? No, lets have part 1 and part 2 Christmas.
At least I got my fruit/veg in today. Made potato soup over the weekend and while it is still toasty here for lunch it is okay.

Wow. It appears that I missed yesterday? I am discombobulated, yet getting ready to fly up to NYC for ~14 days. My friend's funeral is on Thursday.
Time for another cup of coffee.....
BBL maybe...

Good evening,
Lana you send you were coming and going - half in and half out of a suitcase. Glad you are able to make the funeral.
Another stupid software issue again today - so far it is happening to everyone. End of month? or just cheap? Hard to know.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
*** September 28th ***middle of the week
Good morning all~~
I'm all packed and ready for the trip up to NYC.
I may not post tomorrow because I have to get up rather early in order to make the trip out to eastern Long Island for the funeral.
Sara - I hope that the software gremlins leave you alone from now on! Rotten little boogers.
