    Good evening,

    Half way through week. Computer at work is just being unreliable, at least it is not just me. Got barked at by dragon, but it seems she was just passing it along.

    Lana - tomorrow sounds like a long day. Funerals are things that are better to attend than wishing later you had and didnt. Be good to yourself tomorrow.

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

    That was last night's post that didnt happen -arrggh.

    People are leaving and dragon is cleaning up their work areas so fast you get whiplash watching.

    Lana - long hard day and I hope you are in the process of taking care of yourself.

    Wishing all a good night. This one I will post.

    *** September 30 ***

    Wow - the final day of September! Time is flying~

    Sara - you are right about the going to funerals. I am SO glad I went. It was a really rough experience, but I will take some time today to just settle. I'm trying to get things done, and it just isn't really necessary today.

    Creepy to hear about Dragon Hag clearing out people's work spaces. Ick. Horrible woman.

    Happy Saturday all~~

    It's a dreary day up in NYC. I will be going up to Yonkers to spend the day and overnight with a girlfriend of mine. We are going to work on a glow-in-the-dark Halloween jigsaw puzzle 🎃 So, I won't be posting tomorrow morning.

    The drop in weight is due to being a tad sick, not from actual weight loss. Still, it's nice to see a lower number.

    I hope y'all have a good day today.

    Happy Sunday,

    Slept most of Saturday until I got buzzed by the air show planes.

    Lana hope you feel better. Glow in the dark puzzle? I can imagine it would be fun!!!!

    Sweet potatoes shredded and roasted for salads with cheese/black beans and onions with a plain greek yogurt dressing - think burrito without tortilla. Of course a small bag from work.....offers nice variety. Shepherd Pie also on tap this week. Have Tuesday off so I will so a little shopping.

    Put $15.00 in car - I use cash and that was what I had. Last person before me spent $134.00 I had to look twice.

    Dragon goes on Holiday Thursday so until she goes we are under a severe microscope. Breathe deep and keep walking is my mantra.

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

    Well, the glow-in-the-dark puzzle was a lot of fun to work on - a cute painting of a little witch and a little ghost trick or treating at a cottage in the moonlight. Yes, when we shut off the lights on Sat. night, many of the pieces did glow! I helped my friend get a decent amount done, but she will be busy until Halloween with it! 1000 pieces!

    Sara - good to hear that the Dragon goes on holiday soon.
    Your Shepherd's Pie sounds yummy!

    OK, I'm going to put on some dance music and clean some more....

    Lana - That glow in the dark puzzle sounds like fun.
    Sara - bet your counting down the days, hours and minutes until dragons vacation!

    For me it has been a manic Monday. I got my one shift in to stay on call at my retail job but idk main job work doesn’t look like it’s going to be slowing down soon and I hope not. The OT is needed with the dogs and now my car isn’t even 5K from oil change from July and it was almost out of oil when I checked today. Ran to car store and picked up oil. Put about 2-3 qts in in the parking lot. Will let cool down and recheck tomorrow morning.
    Why hasn’t Murphy received my eviction notice?!?

    Missy - I hope that you find the answer with your car! Sometimes Murphy really stays around too long.

    I have a long appointment at the dentist today.

    Good evening,

    Missy - been there with car oil, keep a quart or 2 in your trunk, if you can.

    Seems there is a security breach at work with the parent company and I have tomorrow off, so we shall see if I can work Wednesday. Strange concept but in today's world.....

    Salads worked out well and will be cooking tomorrow as well.

    Sending good thoughts east/northwards.

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

    well and nuts I did it again, this is last nights post. I think.

    Got day of dr apt wrong so I have to ask for next Tuesday off. I meant to make a square casserole of shepherds pie but the rectangular one is in the oven. It freezes okay which is nice.

    I hear people in the east are getting rain. I hope we see some soon.

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

    Sara - I would gladly send you some of this rain. I guess we're having the leftover storm of what destroyed parts of Florida. The days have been very dark and depressing.
    Sherpherd's pie---😋

    I went off the rails yesterday after my dental appointment, and I did not weigh this morning.

    There is still so much to be done before my sister arrives at dinnertime. Thank heavens she is bringing some nice California weather with her to the East Coast.

    Waves to anyone who stops by later on 🌴

    Good evening,

    Glad your sister is visiting. It is still a little warm here, but they said it will change next week. Sorry, just rolled my eyes.

    Donuts at work today ate more than 1 portion - what is a portion of doughnut? If it is half a doughnut then I went WAY over.

    Will walk around to get my 5k and call it good.

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

    Today is day 98 tracking my food. I’ve lost 22.4 lbs. the last 3 weeks have been rough. Both my husband & I got Covid.I did not have a fever, cough, sneezing exhaustion I did not lose my sense of smell or taste. My exercise tanked, didn’t have the energy to really cook.
    My next mini goal is 2.6 lbs away.

    Good evening,

    Boss on vacation until 17th. I came home and got Hostess Cupcakes to be delivered and take to work tomorrow.

    Found out I also got a bonus - thorn in the paw of Dragon. Means I can get my convection oven.

    Almost Friday which is worth something - 2 days of being short staffed on phones yet again makes me a little cranky.

    Crystal good to meet you. We have good days we celebrate and bad days that we commiserate on the couch at the Cabana club in virtual reality.

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

    Today I must get in some walking to break up the sorting and tossing of junk in the apartment.

    Good morning Missy!

    It is often difficult to put in those hours because of other distractions that pull our focus, in addition to the daily duties of feeding puppers and taking care of ourselves!

    Today I will be packing some glassware into boxes and tossing out more things I no longer need or fit into (and are ugly).

    Waves to all who stop by today 👋🏻

    Good evening,

    Made cheese ravioli (bought frozen) added shredded chicken to sauce. Will have that for a couple more meals.

    Got more steps in than I planned which was a pleasant surprise.

    Lana - church is helping clean up a house of items for a lady who needs to sell her house who is already in a senior home and they need $. Clean up is a good thing and good for you for doing it.

    I took down what I call the box mountain and took it to the recycle bin.

    Missy - get what work in you can. Your family of dogs will let you know when it is time to stop.

    Hot chocolate for evening. Dragon is off on her holiday. Happy dance.

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

    Good Evening!

    Got 3 hours in yesterday. Didn’t get in any today but took care of some needed tasks and I get paid anyway today as it’s a holiday. Gas furnace pilot flame was out so no heat last night. Was supposed to go down into 40’s luckily it stayed in the low 60’s inside. My stepdad got the pilot relit so we are all good. Dogs were happy i was home most of the day yesterday and today. I’m ready for the fall to truly hit. Leaves are starting to slightly change colors. Really want to drive up north with the pups to go leaf peeping.

    Lana - it’s fall clean out season. Another task on my ever growing list. Good luck!

    Sara - I would be having hot chocolate too. Sounds like a “vacation” at work.

    Hope everyone has a great evening. Talk to you all later.

    Missy

    Good evening,

    Good day at work. Many things online broke but we were able to still help others get their info. Very quiet and no looming stress.

    Tomorrow I have off, so I can sleep in. I hope to get some shoes for the colder season.

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

    Missy - So wonderful that you had help with that pilot light. I wonder why it went out in the first place? Yes, autumn is such a pretty season isn't it? 🍁

    Today my sister and I will go for a nice lunch at the restaurant that is on the lake in Central Park. We will walk there, so we'll get some exercise to boot!

    Good evening,

    JJ-congratulations and that is wonderful. Its a powerful moment when you can get a reward for all the hard work losing weight!

    Lana- hope you had a good time in Central Park with your sister.

    Another chapter at work, I have done something again and I was supposed to speak to Manager, but another "crisis" at work came up (not in my area). Think tomorrow. I will not be forgotten. I am not sure what I have done wrong, but I will find out.

    With my large deadline for knitting gone. I will be reading more, giving my hands a rest.

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

    Good evening,

    Lana hope you get home safely after a long journey.

    Work had to do with a case that I did not do well and others after me did not either. I was asked if I really wanted to be on the phones at work. Something to give a really hard think and find one negative reason to quit the phones.

    Found a website that listed all kinds of ideas for casseroles. Good food for cooler weather.

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