    I have friends but interact more with the boards for support.

    When I first joined MFP 12 years ago, I did both. But now that I am back, most of the people I interacted with either left or gave up on me, which I certainly understand. So, socially, I am starting over, pretty much. But I do try to respond to any comments on my feed.

    Another busy day today. A friend took me out so I could get my prescriptions and then I made a London Broil dinner for us....came out great! Went a little overboard on the mashed potatoes (I LOVE mashed potatoes) but I didn't go too far over my carb limit. A friend said to look for a movie to go see so I will do that after I am done here.

    Tilliesmommy, stay warm! Wave to LanaCabana and everyone! Hope you are all having a great week!

    Good evening,

    Welcome new posters, we got a few that slipped by me.

    Living in extra layers here as freezing temps will find us tonight. Rain - yes I said rain - for some of next couple of days. That's the good news. It was supposed to be all of them. Okay, take what we can get.

    Food is doing a little better. My sweet tooth is back so the greasy salty munchies phase is gone for awhile.

    I took 4 stockings to work for the temps and myself. Boss does not want her area decorated, she got a small fake tree anyway. Temp wants to get her her own stocking, I said its on you. lt is not even December and I am running out of ideas of things to put in stockings. I would pull out my hair but I got a summer hair cut Saturday.

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

    Hi Y'all 👋🏻

    Well I am sitting at RDU airport; my flight to NYC is delayed quite a bit because of wind up there along with the rain storm. I am so tired and sleepy.

    Good evening,

    Rain starting tomorrow, they just painted part of the apartment building. Am I the only one shaking my head?

    Getting 5k steps I know is helping me, wish I had more patience.

    Lana I hope you were not stranded at the airport for too long.

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

    Good morning Missy 👋🏻

    Well, I never made it up to NYC yesterday. I'm on an afternoon flight today. I hope that I get there because I have doctors appointments tomorrow!

    Everyone have a good day today ☀️

    Happy December, everybody! My daughter called me today after I got 2 skeins of black yarn in the mail and I messaged her about it. She wants me to crochet her a winter hat but I was surprised she wanted a black one because she originally told me she wanted green but she said it would go with everything so I said ok. I will start on that tonight.

    I got the idea to print out holiday pictures from online on my printer. I am going to buy cheap frames and hang them in a group on one of my walls. An inexpensive way to decorate a wall and laid flat they are easy to store. They printed out great! I will get out to the dollar store for some frames tomorrow.

    Keep on keepin' on, everyone!

    Good evening,

    Wet and cold but needed so badly its better to just say thank you.

    Lana - hope you get to your apts.

    b-b-b-bills paid for now. Nice to be able to not worry if they bounce. They have this past year. Talk about gray hair maker.

    Tomorrow is the Friday and that is a nice thing.

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

    Have a grand day, wherever you are 🌼

    Good evening,

    Rain all day long. We need it, and it means snow in the mountains as well.

    Good weather to watch movies. Need something warm to drink.

    Made 8 sweet potato/black beans/ cheddar cheese and onion burritos - 7 in freezer waiting for me to be lazy or disorganized.

    Lana - glad you made it and are on your way for a couple of good days for your soul/spirit and stomach.

    Waiting for my order from Walmart. I am going to decorate work with tree ornaments. I have enough yarn.....

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

    Good afternoon,

    After lunch, we got thunder/lightening and hail. I decided it was best to get one of my new battery lanterns out and take a nap. Slept good part of the afternoon.

    Movies are on their way here too. Rain will be here most of the week.

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

    Checking in, late in the day. I am quite tired - my cousin is very energetic, and she can wear me out!

    Thankfully we are in for the rest of the day!

    Happy Wednesday Night.

    Week half over. More rain tomorrow.

    Sometimes the only way I know what day it is, is by my Advent calendar or if I have run out of premade lunches.

    Hoping the hot pink ornaments arrive as the grey walls at work are annoying me at the moment.

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

    Good morning all~~

    Sorry I've been MIA - too busy and distracted lately.

    The weather here in NYC has been poo-ey and no good for walking. Hopefully I can get a few miles in today. I've been in the cave apartment so much - not good for the mood/mental health. I have one more week of this 🐱. Ha ha!

    Sara - you are getting hot pink ornaments? We could use something like that at The Cabana Club! 🌴

    Happy Friday,

    I get visual disturbances from the bad lighting at work. Yesterday was a scary day for me as I have never had it so bad. I made sure my Sup knew at least.

    Cold here and wet all weekend. There goes my shopping potential, but online will do just fine.

    Lana -get your headphones on and dance to your favorite music.

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

    Hey Y'all

    Just checking in. I am just a bag of aches and pains. My right knee is hurting; I did not do anything in particular to it. I'm looking forward to going back home Thursday.

    Food intake has been more reasonable. I got in a bit of walking today, even with the knee.

    Missy - I saw an adorable puppy this morning - I think it was a husky? I don't know the snow-dog breeds at all really, but of course I thought of you and yours.

    Good evening,

    Lana good for you for getting steps in. I did a lot of walking around at church today - so I hit my goal and just a little more. It was the day to find out the Secret Pal was for each of us. The person I got was not there. I found out who mine was and she admitted she tried to fool me much of the year -- it worked.

    Food has been okay but not great, so I am glad I am keeping my walking goals.

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

    Good morning all~~

    The daily ten minutes of sun is now streaming into the window of my apartment. It's time to get outside no matter how cold it is.

    Sara - Big applause for you for achieving your walking goals! 🏆 Good for you!!

    Good evening,

    Cookies will be made tonight. Freezing temps overnight for the next week. I have set up a bed that is warm enough, feel slightly like a bag lady as I am wearing so much but too bad.

    I have 500 steps to make my 5k which I will make sure it happens.

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

    Here we are at the middle of the week~~

    I am gathering and packing up for going home tomorrow, trying to take as little as possible. It saddens me how quickly a rolling carry-on bag can get heavy, which can be a bodily pain at the now-sprawling LaGuardia airport.

    Sara - Did you make cookies yesterday? Smart to use the oven when it's cold in the apartment. Big hugs.

    Good evening,

    Cookies made and handed out today. Leaving them in my house is a "no-no".

    Lana hope you get a lot of steps dealing with the airport. Runways are good for a long walk.

    Below freezing all week at night. I used to celebrate these days as it helped kill fleas that used to annoy my dog. So I will celebrate it for other people with dogs.....

    People are frazzled from the holiday stress. I am frazzled watching them. Will watch one of those sugary holiday movies.

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