Good evening,
Ethan Allen has decent furniture, glad you could take advantage of their sale and get a sofa you can crash on in total comfort.
I have almost 400 steps to go to 6k, so music may help. Too hot to go anywhere outside.
I have a loud yappy coworker, who is just too loud. Earphones on higher and I just let her yack her way through her probation period. New generation new rules. Shake my head.
I have some "extra time" tonight (while waiting for laundry) to look up food online. Thank you Lana for the idea.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Hello All~~
Hey Sara - regarding the yappy co-worker, maybe you could quietly say something to her/ask her in a very kindly way to help you out. She may have no idea that she is affecting your ability to work. If you connect her with warmth and graciousness, she may be glad and accommodating that you reached out to her?
I feel bad that it affects your work. Hugs.
Well my sister is out on her way to you on the Left Coast, Sara.
We had a good visit together, and she kept me exercised and motivated. My bones and muscles are aching from the activity, but it got me going.
Would you believe that we did 4.5 1000-piece jigsaw puzzles in 8 days? She got 2/3 of each puzzle. 🤣

Good evening,
Lana I could do many things with my coworker, but ignoring her seems to work the best and warmth and graciousness has left the building. One more reason to keep looking for that next job.
I have 2 baby blankets for someone who is bringing baby by work tomorrow, but I forgot to sew in the ends. Guess what I am doing tonight?
Too many of the jigsaw puzzles I had worked on were missing too many pieces, but I am glad you and your sister enjoyed yours. That is a lot of puzzles.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -

Good morning all~~
Sara - That is a shame about work! Yes--Keep on searching for that next job!
That's sweet about the two baby blankets. Mom and baby will enjoy them~
Time for another cup of coffee....

Good evening,
Another Friday!! Foot massages from the Cboys sounds like a real treat. Got 6k today so the toes and ready and waiting.
Temps are coming down slightly but the humidity not so much. Strange weather is getting old, but just have to let things happen.

Hi all!
Hope all is well! Can’t believe it is already mid-August!
Light is getting brighter… 3 weeks left of class then a break for 12 weeks yay 😀 I’ll get to enjoy my favorite season of fall!
Lana- sounds like a pleasant weekend!
Sara- hope the job search goes better, being in a job that isn’t the best stinks.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Good afternoon,
Hello Missy - breaks from school are so wonderful especially since you are multi-tasking your brain!
Lana - it was Bunco day at church - I did not have the $$ but someone bought me a ticket. I won the door prize of 3 pretty boxes which is perfect to try and hide all my bracelet bead stuff.
Nap time.
Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Sunday
It is evening, hope everyone had a good day.
Fell asleep reading a book. I am not sure if that meant the book was boring or I was just meant to sleep.
Storm Hilary brings us overcast skies and humidity. Tomorrow is chance of rain??

Good morning All~~
Sara - congrats on winning that door prize! -- what a mood booster, I would imagine.
That would be interesting if that hurricane brought you some rain~
Missy!! - yes, the end of the tunnel is coming soon! And good for your for having the autumn off from classes. Yay 🎉
Well, here it is Monday, and I have things to get done after a very lazy weekend. Grocery shopping will be followed by other errands....

Good evening
Lana it rained last night and little this morning. Enough to make puddles and have run off. It was hotter outside this morning than inside. It is not as muggy as it has been and I am very pleased.
Still moving along I have 400 steps to get 6k so it will happen.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Good evening,
Happy Tuesday.
I was on hold to schedule my mammogram and danced to the phone music and got almost 1000 steps, take your chances when you get them. I have over 7k today.
First time in about a week we do not have the heavy humidity. Grateful for that.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Hello All~~
I completely spaced on posting in the morning. Got all confused getting ready for a too-early hair appointment.... the beauty school called to rebook the appointment.
Haircut is now on Thursday.
Sara - what a good girl you are in making that all important mammogram appointment 🎉
Kudos on dancing while waiting 👍🏻
I'm getting sleepy 😴

Happy Wednesday everybody 🌺
I am motivated to have a productive day to catch up with chores that I've let slide recently. That should add to the Activity!
Farmers market is at 3PM today. The prices are a bit high, but it's good to support the small local growers, right?
I'm grateful for another sunshiny day ☀️

Happy Wednesday,
Lana - good for you. Farmer's markets food usually also doesnt "sit" as long as other produce etc.
Humidity has gone down and I am happy. Temps are liveable.
If I did what I should, laundry would be on the list.....thank you Lana I now have Fridays' blouse drying.
Couldnt figure out tomorrows lunch but got chicken air fried and chicken and rice and teriyaki sauce- a lot better than what could happen.
Found a compromise - do I eat all of muffin or not? Answer - eat half tonight and other half tomorrow. Rewards for two hard days of work.

Happy Thursday everyone~~
Sara - Today is my day to cook the chicken: I should do it on the grill outside for easier cleanup.
I never did get to the farmers market. I ended up at Trader Joe's instead, picking out some decent veggies. You are right about stores having stuff "sit" for longer.

Good evening,
It is almost Friday. Our computer and phone system at work has been testy all week. Just glad to give it a rest after tomorrow - it obviously needs one!!
Was informed my idea of giving rocks (these are polished semi precious stones here not something I picked up on the river) were not appropriate for give away gifts at work - boss hinted that I gave away chocolate last time (it was Easter we had easter bunnies....). Bought something in a set of 4 and she will just have to get her own chocolate.
Did I mention I was glad it was almost Friday??
So far my week average is over 6k in steps. If this is what it takes, this is what I do.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
*** August 25 ***
Hmm.... in four months it will be Christmas!
Sara - I suspect I thought of that after reading your post about the giving of gifts and then typing today's date....
I hope that you get through today and have an enjoyable and restful weekend.
It's another sunny day here; the high is forecast to be 93. I'm looking at the Do List.
I need to walk.
Waves to all who pop by today 👋🏻

TGIF - happy Friday.
Lana- is walking on your to do list? If not, why not?
Our office building has a raffle, there are years of stuff (bags/pens/notepads etc) with the first 3 names of the company which must not be seen on the site, so they have been raffling them off. Why even mention this? Because I finally won one of these bags. The knitted mens cap goes to the lady at church who makes homeless bags. The photo frame (clear plastic) will go to the lady I gave the other 2 to, but I still have some decent things I can use.
Beautiful breeze out there and will open windows as soon as I can.

Good morning all~~
Sara - Yay for you that you won one of the bags at work! Glad that there are some decent things for you.
Walking/water exercise is on my daily schedule, along with daily meditation.
The Do List has stand alone things such as "exchange propane tank" or "close old checking account".
Time to get walking 👍🏻

Good evening,
Got my 3 top disgusting house chores done. Over due and ready for a great "before/after" moment. Bathtub, kitchen and bathroom floors are no longer on my list. It feels so much better.
I in my dusty grungy after cleaning self got the rewards of taking a shower in a nice clean bathtub.
Need to get groceries and it is cool enough to make tuna noodle casserole. Nice change from chicken.
Heard today one of my favorite people is in the last stages of her life. So I will send off a card asap.

Happy Sunday all~~
Sara - yay for your nice clean apartment! That indeed feels good ✅
I'm doing cleaning and laundry today - I have the oomph to do it, so why not. I can relax later.

Good afternoon,
I got called this morning, can you pick me up and take me to church? This was a "one time thing" . Pastor wants me to join and I am getting pulled in too many directions and its not like I am retired, so I need to talk to the pastor.
Scale gave me a nice number, one I have not seen in a very long time. So something is working.

Good evening
Got more than 6k today. My hip sockets tell me when I get over 5k so I almost dont have to read my pedometer. I have a coworker who asked how I am losing weight-- something tempting will require more walking that day or walk by it and leave it alone. Three boxes of Girl Scout cookies didnt even raise an eyebrow as I didnt really like any of them anyway, but I was not interested in walking another 1k. It helps to put it in that perspective (doesnt always work - I sometimes have to walk more.....).
Cooler temps are appreciated. Easier to sleep at night. .
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Well, the dark skies have rolled in, and my body is hurting almost everywhere from the low pressure. Dang.
I got some water exercise in. No walking for me today.
Something new is snapping on the inside of my left knee. Oy.
Sara - you are doing so well! Victory over the Girl Scout cookies ✅
Time to throw some clothes on and go order a mattress for the guest room.

Hi All!
Hope all is well. Week and a half until my class is done!!!!! Will be so happy to have a break. I joined a couple of free dates sites but I think I might stay single. Just seem to attract the oddballs.
I’m also canceling my WW membership. I need to save some money for the dogs. They are getting older. 2 need a dental cleaning so have that fun stuff to look forward to.
I can’t believe that it’s going to be September this week. I’m so excited it’s getting closer to fall.
Hope all is well with everyone.
~Missy2 -
Good evening,
Missy, I really liked WW but could not afford it. Dogs can be expensive so I am hoping their checkups are good.
I dont even bother with the date sites. People keep saying I need to join them. I am sorry you have had bad experience. Dont take it personally, with everything online how do you meet people anyway? Enjoy your break from classes. You probably cant sleep more that was the first thing I did during school breaks.
Our temps are upper 90 but will drop after tomorrow and we are getting some smoke from fires. I wrote FRIES and thought how do you get smoke from FRIES? Luckily I caught my mistake.
Lana get yourself to a dr when you can - your knees are important -and/or start putting up lower poundage #. Your choice. Pressure on knees lessens with every pound you lose. You know this and your knees are reminding you.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Happy Hump Day!
Hope everyone’s week is going great!
Sara- just had my youngest go to the vet for his annual. Kidney values were elevated. So he will need a follow up. The other 2 go next month. Yeah other people recommended these sites but I just don’t think it’s for me. There’s so many wildfires this year it’s awful. Stay safe and hopefully clears up soon. Haha blame the fries on autocorrect. Can come up with some funny stuff!
Lana- hope your knee is okay. Definitely something to get checked out. I think it’s this week. A lot of people I run into are saying how exhausted they are.
Hope everyone has a great day!
~Missy

Oh, wow - I forgot to post this morning!
Thanks for your good wishes Sara and Missy: my knee has healed itself! I think that the paddling around the pool helped.
More tomorrow.....
