Lanette I'm feeling much better today. My nose is still stuffy but at least I feel like doing something! My DH took me out to have Mexican food which was delicious! I even indulged in a Corona beer with lime!!
Thanks for asking!!
Your doggie is cute!!

Michelle Thank you! I love to take pictures! I have foodie pictures way back!
I was going to take a picture of my burrito and enchilada tonight but it bugs my DH!!

Good evening, I need to catch up with y'all!

Tonight we watched the movie, "Hidden Figures"; based on a true story (I love that kind of movie). It was WONDERFUL! Outstanding; the other night we watched "Sully" ... another wonderful movie based on a true story. I would recommend both of them to anyone who has not seen them. Loving the babies and fur babies, praying for those hurting - physically or otherwise. Proud of those who have reached their goals or done the 'unexpected'. Behind any of you who have made much progress; it will turn around ... it gets better (or so I have been told; so I believe it).

Katla Ooooh! Sorry to hear about your broken finger! How did it happen? And LOL "cabana old fart". Too funny!

Cathy Very cute grandkids!

I walked a couple of miles today, went to Jazzercise class, and ran a bunch of errands. I am chilling, watching Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, eating homemade yogurt and raspberries. Life is good!

Karen in VIrginia

I love Miss Fisher. I think you are the first person I know of who watches it. Well, I think I heard of one other, once, but I can't remember where or whom. It's so much fun!

I watch Phryne Fisher mysteries. I also read the books!

One of the reasons I like them is because the girl who plays Phryne Fisher is Tasmanian, and because they are set in and around Melbourne ... in areas I'm familiar with because I lived just north of Melbourne for a while.

My father had his pacemaker installed yesterday, and is home today.

And after travelling via Sydney and Auckland, I'm here in Canada with him and my mother.

Allie, I agree that he should not be living with you. From what you have said before, you still cook. I know you do a lot f laundry so I d t know if you are doing his or not. But if you continue to do that, that is what he will see you as. And the idea of letting your work place know is a fabulous idea. I don't know if the building has a security department but it sure would help. I just wish that every one of us could be down there with you and surround you with the love you so deserve. We would also be an unpenetrable mass of women that Tom can not break through to get to you. Why can't a second party like a lawyer office take care of selling the car. That way he isn't taking it down there and trying t keep out of sight and kind of disappear.

ME.ody had her vet appointment today. She weighs 12 pounds and the vet said she sent really overweight but a more ideal weight would be 11 pounds. I was surprised how Melody acted. I knew I couldn't get her in my pet carrier so Charlie had some errands and took us. I know they say you shouldn't hold your pet on your lap but have me in a carrier but that is what we did. She was quite comfortable and relaxed going home. In fact after we got home, she stood at the door and howled for awhile. It was 72 degrees later this evening so I opened the window in the living room and they enjoyed sitting in the window sill. I have tried to wear Mr Mozart down this evening but he is t in bed no. me.eody is sound asleep on her afghan at the end of my bed.

Morning, No sleep for me, too wound up from my friend's final concert. I work in a tough school community and working with this wonderful woman has been such a joy, saying goodbye to our working relationship is bittersweet. I know we will keep in touch but it's going to be changed.

Lenore your advice about UTI was exactly what I did and boy did it help!!

Becca hope you enjoyed every minute of your son's graduation!!

Barbie have fun on your road trip to line dancing with your friend!

Gonna be super suddenly hot this weekend- gonna have to put in the air conditioners before things get unbearable.

Allie - Lean on us when you are exhausted. We are here to support you. Please keep your lawyer. I don't think the 2 of you should be sharing the house. Don't let him to manipulate you to believe he can't afford a lawyer. He can afford flowers and a Camaro. Do they have a Day of Discovery down there? My DSIL did this because her ex was trying to hide assets. You are getting stronger every day.

KJ - Joaquin is a real sweetie.

Heather - Your food always sounds so interesting and delicious.

Becca - The quote is such good advice. I'm glad that you are getting Prudence sorted out, what a good heart you have.

Katla - Katla, I am sorry about your fracture. I hope you are back to riding soon.

Lanette - Hope your night with Rosie is better. She is so darling.

Cricketsgirl - Very cute grand kids.

Paula - I'm sorry about your vacation plans. Our weather has been crap so far this year.
What kind of tea are you drinking?

Barbie - It's good to hear that Jake is putting his effort into your marriage. He seems to be such a decent guy.

Last night's weather was really something. There are branches all over and a few split trees. All of our trees and plants seem to be okay. I got some to shelter under the eaves. Going to need to invest in a few more plant supports. I really want to get the deck to the way I like it. Larry has ties to replace the ones around our front garden bed plus other lumber and it is all on the deck. I can't move it myself. Every year for the past 3 my kids have packed it off the deck. Now to convince them to do it one more time.

It's Friday so work was early. I was productive until my boss came in. He is really nit picking and finding fault. I wonder if he isn't trying to hurry things along so I leave. Yes, I want to. I also want to be set up for retirement as well as I can.

Picked up Harmony from the day care and went to my sister's for coffee. We had some time to kill before the movie and Keira had to clean her room before she could come. Visited with my sister about the shower she went and the visit she had in Saskatchewan. Picked up Keira and then Larry as he decided to go to one of the violent movies that I have no interest in. It was fun listening to the girls in the movie. Watch out world!
We returned home. My son decided to pick up dinner on the way. It was terrible although that wasn't his fault.
My favourite quote today is from Keira to her cousin Harmony. "That's how ants work. You squoosh them. You moosh them. Boom! They're dead." Yes, saved from the dreaded ant.
I may have shared this photo of my little divas before. Keira is the blonde and Harmony has almost black hair.

We went to Jheri's and she gave her Dad an airbrush tattoo of a car with a Route 66 sign. She was giggling as she texted it to her brother (the tattoo artist) with a note saying "Ha ha, I beat you to it and gave a tattoo". It should last about a week.

Feeling helpless as I watch Ryan still struggling with his feelings surrounding Steve's suicide. Now his marriage is struggling. It is hard as I love Holly like she was my daughter. I listen to them both and try to stay neutral. The phone has been burning up with calls and texts. Where is that stupid wand when I need it?

Thinking some float therapy and some horse therapy would be fantastic.

-Sharon in Lethbridge wondering what tomorrow will bring.

Didn't realize they would be sideways. Going to post one of my favourite photos. The traditional Christmas decorating day at Grandma's. We always decorate at my house first because Jheri's tree never goes up until after Christmas. We do the tree, the house decorating, bake some cookies, have some hot chocolate and sing Christmas carols

dreamwriter

Well, crap. I guess I will do it tomorrow. Mind has shut off.

This is for everyone on here who is trying to become their better self. But especially for Allie. With each other's support we can transition into our best version of ourselves.


Lots of love, Heather UK xxxxxxx

Christine: Welcome to a great group!

Louise in Vegas: Congratulations on avoiding the binge eating on the road!

Katla: Sorry about the finger!

Allie: The copies you made of the bank accounts before he put passwords on them are going to be so important now! We are all behind you! He doesn't know the power of a whole group of women sending negative vibes about him out into the universe!

Paula: So sorry you have had to cancel your trip, but what great news about the inches!

We have a big group of friends coming for dinner tonight, so I will need to be sure that I remember not to taste as I cook!

Good morning all! Happy Saturday and I am up at 4am again to get DYS off to work. As an early morning person, I don't really mind getting up this early. I started sprinkling at 4:15, too dark to walk, so the walk will have to wait until after I am back from doing the grocery shopping. The down side to sprinkling this early is the darkness. Moving the sprinkler by flashlight, managed to spook a couple of bunnies and myself! Challenge Day 10: 45 jacks, 105 squats, 65 crunches, and 1 minute plank. AFter groceries and errands, I have another day of yard work. Today, I get to use a chainsaw for the first time. A little scary, but exciting! I need to trim dead branches off the lower portions of about three pine trees, begin trimming a dead tree (that will be coming down either this weekend or next), and cut up the unsalvageable picnic table. All into the burn pit, with the tree stump that one of my daycare daddies pulled out yesterday as he dropped his boys off. LOL! That stump (and the hole it left) was quite exciting for the boys! They spent about an hour finding all kinds of creepy crawlies and bringing them to me (thank you- no thank you). Then they all had to take turns standing in the hole. I didn't have my camera on hand, but I wish I did. It looked like I was "growing" boys. I am thinking of not filling the hole right away, so I can get a picture of one of the boys in it while the others "tend" to him with a watering can and a rake. I think it would make a good photo for my daycare site page or for business cards.
Allie- (((hugs))) stay strong! Keep that Rocky music playing in your head.
Katla- Sorry about your finger! Hope it heals well!
Heather- Love the quote! It brings to mind, of being in my 30s (probably my worst decade, as far as feeling good about myself), and bemoaning the fact that I wasn't the girl/woman that I used to be. I think, when we are young, we buy into the fact that we need to hold on to our youth/youthful exuberance and thoughts. It took me so long to realize that my life is a series of versions of me. It's like phone upgrades. As we age, we become a different, hopefully better, version of ourselves. My dh has often accused me of not being the girl he married. "Of course I am not and Thank God for that!"
Hugs, warm thoughts and prayers to those who need or want them. gotta get busy ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

P.S. gratitude journal going great. I have been writing five things each day. Yesterday, my butt made the list! I may have gained weight as I have aged, but my butt still looks good. The squats are helping! LOL! Just thought I'd share. I like my legs and butt because they are strong. Do you all have a body part that you like, or are proud/thankful for?

Morning Ladies~
He has accepted the fact, and I just looked it up he has 21 days to respond or then we proceed without him.. but he will get a lawyer.. it will all be fine until we get the attorneys talking and he finds out that I want the Florida house..then things could get nasty..but not to worry..he said this morning, we have to start hoeing out the house of stuff we dont want.. and he is right,, so that will be on the docket for the weekend..and next as I have them off..
Thank you for all the love~ it is so wonderful having so many wonderful sister's from far and wide that have my back...
Chris in Ma. yes we are close enough we should get together sometime xoxo

Allie - woke up thinking about you - just remember that he's still a manipulator. If he's being agreeable, there's a reason. Love your amazing heart... but don't let him twist you into anything that isn't right for YOU.

Katla - sorry about the finger! Hope it heals quickly... I know how important the horseback riding is to you.

Corey and I did decide to get a kitten. If the RV life happens (looking doubtful for at least a year) then we'll deal with it as we have to.

This is Egg. She's about six weeks old. She's a rescue. Trying to litter train someone whose entire world was a litterbox (she and her 8 brothers and sisters were birthed in a tire outside a friend's house, and raised under the porch) has been... interesting. Decided not to get two, as we want her to socialize to us, not her littermate. Just got her yesterday afternoon, and will have someone look in on her daily while we're in Alaska. Need them to check the mail anyway... nice to have a community.

Monday I have to go in and finish report cards. Unfortunately it will be a 90 degree day. Then School is out for summer!

I got a nice plaque and rose in appreciation for my service.

What means even more to me is a thank you I got from a parent. One of my students lost two grandparents and then had his movie and some money stolen out of his family car in the six weeks I was his Kindergarten teacher. I bought him a replacement video and got him a Target card. I wanted to restore his faith that there are good people out there too. His mother was very grateful and sent me a thank you note.
