April is here. I did a little better last month. :) Did more of the exercises posted by Chris! Thank you! :p

Been working on the bathroom. Still waiting on some special order tile. Got 6 rows of tile around the area for the toilet. It sits back in a small area that has 3 sides. It took some constant checking to be sure all sides matched up. But going faster now. ;) still need the 16 decorative tiles to get here. I will have my daughter help me post a picture.

    I'm totally our of control. Eating and hiding from the world. Doctor upped my :heart: meds - too much stress.

    But the reality is, it's just sunny and warm and I have a good book a puzzle and the hummus is yummy - just luxuriating. Ignoring weight, ignoring chores, taking the day off...

    Happy birthday,Chris!

    Good job with the tiles, Shelley!!

    196.6 this morning. Pretty much maintained in March. I need to have a more productive April.

    Paula - I understand perfectly. Sometimes you don't want to think about anything else...a small break can help. You'll get back with it when you're ready.

    Chris why are you up weighing at 4:15? Is that baby having sleep over's already? B)

    Clara there you are! Nice to see you. :)

    Kathy you nailed it for Paula. Glad to see you are holding. Now it is time to step up your game. B)

    Thanks Paula. It actually has been fun laying the tiles. Deciding on the tile, the right grout and all the other choices is what stinks! Have some hot tea with that puzzle. <3

    Put in the last row of tile by the toilet. We put a little grout and n. I think it matches the tile to closely. Not enough contrast. So will need some new grout to finish. FedEx says our to!e should be here Thursday. Getting there. Hope the tile for the counter top will also.

    Shelley, we leave to pick up Ronan and Bean at 6:15. Depending on what we have to do before we get them determines when we get up, but we need to make sure our morning meds have kicked in and all our joints work!

    Can't wait for pictures of your bathroom!!

    Hi! Clara! We missed you!

    Hi! Kathy! Good job in March!

    Paula...what Kathy said. You are in charge.

    Hoping for very little wind today so we can take the boys for a little walk. Walked by myself yesterday. I could not get 4 miles per hour. DH and I walk much slower, and it's been a while since I've been out there on my own. :o

    I probably should listen to me also. :wink: Bought some berries last night. I was 148.8 this morning. Right direction!

    Chris I might need to start taking some of them meds soon. :smiley:

    Kathy love the new photo.

    My new solar panels are making some energy today. So far 13.2 kilowatt-hour for the day. Will be great when I have the other half up. and nicer days. A bit overcast today.

    Shelley
    So glad to see you all again. :smiley:

    Chris for me it was that darn pop tart! And it was not that good!

    150! Or was it 149? I am losing it! Today was crazy! But the decorative tile pieces arrived. Put them in extra hot water to get the backing off. All 16 are in place and drying now. Still have not found the right grout. Tried 4 different ones so far. Back to home depot for number 5 tomorrow.

    141.4 this morning at 8:30. DH let me sleep in. I caught the kids nasty cold!! eewwweee! I'm not going to tell you how nasty it is, just know I have run through three big boxes of Kleenex!! We are picking R&B up at 11:00, so the sleep-in was perfect!

    Walked five miles w/DH and then 60 mins of strength yoga w/our trainer yesterday. Don't know how today is going to play out. We'll just see how I'm feeling.

    Have a great Friday! DDD is on Spring Break next week! YAY!!!

    Kathy you have been in the 190's for quite awhile now. Time to show us your 180 something curves. It is gardening season. Get out there and keep so busy you forget to snack! o:) I am going to try and stay out of the 150's. Time to kick it up a gear.

    Chris you get better. Spring colds are the worst! <3

    148.8 today. Got the grout in. Should be OK. I will get a photo on here. Today was crazy at work. Almost tazered a guy. Some people have no respect for judges. And how entitled they think they are! They are entitled to get a job! My feet hurt. I am getting a blue spotted jawfish tomorrow.

    Chris that sounds relaxing! Hope you enjoyed yourself! And the yoga sounds divine!

    Our pump went out in our hot tub. That was expensive! But we met a couple of awesome small business owners! Worked on the grout some more. Cleaned our home a bit. Walked the boys. Found a great home for one of my fish. Did some more wallpaper and even did some weeding. My feet are sore but it was a good day!

    Living in the mountains and working on the coast results in a long drive through the ranch lands between them. Monday I swerved to avoid a small animal staggering across the highway, then doubled back to check it out, sure that it wasn't what I thought it was. After all, we were in the middle of nowhere. As I got out to cross the street, a semi blasted by, just missing the animal which had reached the other side. I ran over and picked it up, and yes, it was a 3week old kitten. Discovered later it was the daughter of a feral mom who'd been hit and killed.

    The kitten is as sneaky as the dickens! I'm thinking of calling her wampi. It's a full-time job to foster her, and it is so amazing how much less energy I have now than when I was younger. Sorry for being gone all week. Taking her to work, and exhausted at night.

    Shelley, why did your fish need a home? Chris, feel better! Clara, so nice to see you! Kathy, You're rocking it staying in onederland!

    p.s. today's Dappers birthday and there's a post for it in Wampus house.

    Paula you saved a life. So like you. And I am glad you did not get run over! Who would have rescued the kitten then? So are you keeping little wampi? Or finding a good home for her? So much fun. Sad for her mom and possible siblings. :( I want a photo!

    Paula I had to give my female green mandarin away. She was killing my red female mandarin. Only one female per tank! I had her for about 6 months. The gal I gave her to loves them but did not know how to feed one. I hooked her up and she is a very excited new mommy. She has had salt water tanks for years.

    I have my replacement yellow belly regal angel. She/he appears to be doing great so far. He is about 4 inches in length. And the wrasse is slowly coming around. Two weeks and quarantine is done!

    Weight was 148.4 today. I am happy with it.

    Paula you are the coolest ever! Wampis rule!!!! We need an update, please.

    Shelley, you are pretty cool, too! It was sweet of you to give your green mandarin away instead of ...dun...dun...dun...you know. Good job on your weight.

    Sad to say, I am not happy about mine...142.0. I have had a really bad cold this week and feeling sorry for myself and...well...you all know. Plus, it's Spring Break for DDD, so we don't have R&B like normal. **sigh** being retired is hard.

    Wow Chris, that Roland is growing up so fast. Such a cute little baby boy. First zoo trip! So feeling for you. Being ill really does throw everything off. :'( Get better. And I would never kill a green mandarin. I won't even get rid of this destructive little shrimp! How long can a shrimp live? I am not sure but I have had him for about 6 years now. Stupid thing is always moving things around and stealing my coral!

    Night all!
