Good evening,
LilRock, You can do this and you have already gotten a great start- I love that you have a couple of days of snacks at work. Makes me rethink my own strategy. Come by and post when you can.
Lana - the person made the middles of granny squares and I think they were going to make a blanket, but I see belts and thin accent scarves. Also crocheting pink bows to go on lobster claw fasteners to link to zippers on jackets or backpacks. Thank you Lana for reminding me the cboys need a work out. They can come by and help sort this massive bag of "middles" by color. Safe trip
Tomorrow is dental day and I am supposed to get my permanent crown - but as nothing has gone as planned with this chapter of this tooth, I will let you know what happens. I took day off, so only 3 more days until boss goes on vacation.
Very cold wind tonight walking home. So no extra walking outside tonight.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Welcome to LilRock 👋🏻
Sara - sending good vibes for your crown appointment. I hope it goes well. All this stuff can be tricky, I know.
It is so good to be home. There's much to do though.
When I was visiting my friend, I was once again amazed at how much clutter and little things she has on every available surface. This has inspired me to get going on some spring de-cluttering.

Good evening,
I still have one more apt to get this tooth finished. Not happy but just is.
Doughnuts were my reward for dealing with the dentist. Reminded me not to have the large ones in the future.
I am trying to take down the clutter in one section in my place as well, it is easy to let things go. It is also easy to ignore it.

Good evening,
One and a half more days before my boss goes on vacation. She announces it every day. The silence just from her announcements will be a relief.
I looked at the clock and wondered where my evening went...... passed out on the recliner. Must have needed it. Got my minimum steps in so that is something.

Good morning all~~
I totally missed yesterday - ugh.
Sara - it must be a good feeling to know that tomorrow afternoon your whole office goes on a vacation, so to speak! Yay!
Time to chip away at the Do List....

Good evening,
Took down a dresser drawer - amazing what one finds in there..... 5 more drawers to go.
Lana it will be a relief tomorrow afternoon knowing I can hang out at the Cabana Club with the cboys for the next 3 weeks. Bring it on.
Got 6k today. Scale is being kind and part of me wants to lose weight while the cat is away. We shall see.

Good Morning 🌞
How is everyone doing? Hoping I don’t stress eat too much today. My mom is scheduled to have surgery today to remove the cancer and tests to make sure it didn’t spread. She is at a good hospital and in good hands. Will be praying 🙏🏻

Good evening,
Missy!! Glad the stress has lessened. Will think good thoughts for your mother. Glad it is Friday - doing the dance of joy. Boss has gone on her vacation and to celebrate I got 6k steps in. New goal while she is gone to keep the steps counts high.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Friday. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
Happy Saturday!!
Thank you! Mom surgery went well! Will have to still have the treatments for the breast cancer but at least the lump is gone. Scary stuff.
I would be dancing too! Enjoy the time with them being away!1 -
Hi Missy 👋🏻
So glad to hear that your mother's surgery went well.
Continue to let us know how she is recovering. Big hugs 🤗
Waves to Sara and anyone else who stops by 🌴

Good evening,
Stopping by. Missy - three cheers for your mother's surgery going well. That must be a huge relief. On the "thinking good thoughts for both of you" couch
Got 5k on a Saturday. Pretty amazing. More happy dances to come - need the workout.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

@LanaCabana537 and @Tilliesmommy1 Thank you! She was doing good yesterday. Obviously a lot of pain and isn’t used to not doing anything. Helping as much as I can. Grandma goes in for a bladder surgery this coming Friday so it’s going to be a crazy few weeks. Glad I decided to go every other term with school otherwise I’d be juggling a statistics class right now….2

Happy Sunday All~~
Missy - smart of you about the every other term!
Yes, you will be a busy bee with both of them recuperating..... 🤗
Sara - good for you on getting your steps in!
I need to pay attention to getting some exercise in and eating better.....making a grocery list now....

Good evening,
Got 5k in today. It is warm and so I took my umbrella and went walking so I could keep going.
Lunches at work for the first half of the week will be; Cottage cheese/hard boiled egg/pickled beets and a bean salad. So every thing I like from a salad bar without the salad dressing or dull lettuce.
I know,I know. I started a shawl out of very thin yarn. I will also spend time this week watching videos on how to crochet stars and flowers to add to lobster claw fob/chains.
I am very close to my next Amazon gift card and will get them sometime this week.

Good morning ☀️
The sun is out, and that makes me feel happy √
Sara - your salad bar choices are excellent and sound quite yummy! I'm going to follow you on that good idea.
Enjoy your day at work today! 😉
Yesterday's trip to Walmart was a bust - I couldn't find any of the three things I went for....So today I will try Lowes + hobby store? I would have wandered more in the store to clock the steps, but my body was feeling weak. Today I will get those steps in in smaller segments, I guess.
Waves to Missy and Crochetluvr and all who stop by later on~~

Good evening,
Earned on the work related health website another Amazon gift card, I have a list ready to go.
Post nasal drip has me over a barrel today. Drinking Chamomile tea to help,z I learned to make my salad lunches the night before as I was almost late for work. Tomorrow is the cafe last day for soup, so that is on tap. Otherwise quiet and staying awake was not easy at work. Not an unusual Monday
Got my 5k and passed out after work.
90 degrees this week will have me wondering about wardrobe choices. We were very cold 2 weeks ago....

Good morning 🐳
Hey Sara - last year I was getting bronchitis from post nasal drip from allergies. My doctor prescribed azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray, which is an antihistamine. It helped me get over that session of bronchitis, and now I use it during the bad times of year for seasonal allergies.
Just an idea.
Today is an appointment at the heating/cooling company to discuss future new system. Thank goodness for navigation on the phone, so I won't get lost....
Time to jump into the shower (yeah right, more like shuffle to....)

Good evening,
Teeth cleaning went well and I picked up meds at pharmacy. Did not get anything extra to eat as I have stuff at home.
I got out of work early, took a nap early and I have an hour I dont usually have awake. Weird but nice. I may use the awake time to watch crochet how to's. Okay its not everyone's thing, but I am trying to make things to sell....

Well, I'm getting here a little late in the day....not much to report. Just hanging in there.
Sara - I hope that you had a good day today 🌸

Good evening,
Sat and watched youtube videos on how to crochet a daisy, a star and a mini pig. All seem possible so things are looking up. I intend to connect these to a lobster claw fastener (one on each) and sell them. If the pigs go well I might go a little crazy as I happen to like pigs.
My numbers at work are phenomenal and my quality as well, I hope someone sees the connection between this and boss being gone. Probably not.
All week is hot so I am trying to think of cooler meals.

Good evening,
I had a box of Samoa cookies and ate the whole container last night. They are not allowed in my house that is the only way to stop a repeat. Oh, thank you I enjoyed it and so did the scale.
Tomorrow is Friday and I am looking forward to it.

Good evening,
Nothing like the day being Friday. Got to take large work files off my list as we are getting flooded with them - its a new process and they knew they were coming. One has to be in a "window" of date of service and yes you know it, I am. Usual day is between 150-230 and I got 580 done. Eyes a little tired from this.
I am teaching myself to make friendship bracelets. Trying to find the right yarn and crochet hook was a little frustrating last night, but I will continue. I have enough of both that it will be done.
Got a number of things in the mail, and looking forward to see if the clothing is what it like looks online. I have never had "non work" clothes - mother didnt want us to look bad in the neighborhood, so I think at my age it is time to break that habit.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Hey Sara - you said "looking forward to see if the clothing is what it looks like online". Did you open your packages? Is everything as expected?
Oy! Do I have a story about that!

☀️ Happy Sunday ☀️
Wow - it's the final day of April already? Amazing!
Well, my sister is hatching a plan for us to take a trip together next February, so I have fresh motivation to get cracking on losing weight. This is a good thing.
She is two years younger than I am, and she has always been in great shape. She is an walking/swimming lover, so that's the difference between us.
So, I have 10 months!

Good Morning 😃☀️🌞
It’s a rainy Sunday here. Going to get some cleaning/organizing done. Shopping for Mother’s Day maybe today. Worked out with my sister yesterday. I’m so out of shape. I can only use the gym that she goes to as I’m a guest. Thinking of reactivating my membership or unfreezing it at the other gym. Or transfer to another gym that has more group class options.
Mom is doing alright. Lots of pain. She’s doing to much probably. She’s the type that can’t sit still.
Grandma is doing good considering her surgery was this past Friday.
Lana - I know can’t believe it is already end of April. Have fun with your sister! You got this!
Sara - sounds like you have quite a few projects going on!
Hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend!
~ Missy
218.6 yesterday.
Goals:
Track both on WW and MFP
Exercise for 30 minutes at least 3 times a week to start.2 -
Good afternoon,
Lana - so far the clothing I got is okay, it is polyester and just have to make sure it is not too tight or too hot.
I am 2/3 of way to step goal. I have baked eggs cooling to be made into breakfast burritos.
Knitting and crocheting is going along well.
Week #2 without boss starts today. Always a good start.
Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Hey there Missy - glad to hear from you about your mother and grandmother. I hope that your mother's pain eases soon.
It was pouring rain here earlier. The entire eastern part of the country was getting a soaking.
Good luck with figuring out the gym situation. 🌷
Sara - a few years ago I got lured into ordering a bunch of tops from Annie Cloth. Nice website and photos of gorgeous tops available in linen and/or cotton. Reasonable prices.
Good grief, the stuff I received all very poor knock-offs made out of polyester and the supposed XL size was really like a size 10. Customer service awful. I still see ads for the same sort of things - same models! but the company has different names. Online searches revealed that these are actually bait and switch companies from China. Ugh. Only Lands End, Eddie Bauer, Lane Bryant, and known names for me now if I order online.
