Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Evening Friends,
Penny, it is so good to hear from you. I think you are so smart to build the frame to do all the painting on. That kind of bending would kill my back.
Joyce, I have to say I feel sorry for Melody if she isn’t enjoying her new house mate. It sounds like Mozart will be a big boy.
Rye, sorry to hear about your knee. I hope it heals quickly.
Terry, I’m glad you made it safely. I understand about the hesitation on parasailing but I hope you get over it and go for it if that is something fun for you. Nice looking room.
Allie, it sounds like you are getting excited about the move and we are all excited with you. It sounds great!!
Gosh, I had wanted to catch up but I’m about to fall asleep at the keyboard. That will be a project for tomorrow.
to all the Newbies. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
Sending love, good thoughts and cool sunshine to all of you.
I Love you

Did 1/2hr yoga. I honestly thought that DVD was longer, but it might very well have worked out for the best since I need to leave for the church to lector. Why she put me on for a Sunday I have no idea. I usually do Saturdays. But oh well.... The plan for tomorrow is to do one segment of the Beach Body sampler DVD, hold my plank, then take the extremepump class.
A friend came here and we dug up 4 bushes, put in 5. I had no idea it would be so much work! I am totally exhausted. Started the day by using the weedwacker.
Rye - Your mother was one very wise woman. I think I'm going to wear just a pantsuit. After all, it's just at a steakhouse. Honestly, I thought for sure Maria would have worn at least a dress to the shower, but she didn't. I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if she just wore a pantsuit. But I think it'll only be nice to let Denise know that I asked her. I LOVE TSO. I can't even count how many times I've seen them live. Lovely pic
Lenora - the condo assoc has a rule that if we rent the condo, the minimum we can rent for is 30 days. In a way, I can understand. The other owners of the condo don't want someone coming in, partying for a week, and then leaving the place trashed. We do let friends of ours stay at the condo. It's right across the river from the space center. Did we ever have a first rate view of the last shuttle! Be in the condo then go into the backyard when there are 30 seconds to go. Afterwards, while there was bumper-to-bumper traffic on Rt. 1, I was laying by the pool! Oh, yes, this marriage is going to be between Denise, Pete and his mother. Denise doesn't see it (more to the point, doesn't WANT to see it). She'll just let Pete's mother do whatever she wants because Denise doesn't want any drama. Like she isn't marrying into a drama family! Terrible as this may sound, I wish in a way Pete would get transferred. Then they'd have to have their own lives.
As far as I know, there still isn't power at the condo
Marcelyn - how nice that you were training with your son!
Had to lector at the church this morning. Usually, I do it on Saturdays but for some reason she put me on the schedule for Sunday. No big deal. What a timely reading! It was about forgiveness.
Heather - I'm so sorry about your friend.
Joyce - calling the place to find out what type of clothing is appropriate, the reason I wouldn't want to is because they will probably tell you what they want it to be, not what it really is.
Now to go watch a bit of TV and probably fall asleep

My favorite bread. Kirkland's Multi Grain loaf, Costco has them! I got a pair, so one is in the freezer!

What a weekend. Just sick. I am hoping I can make it to work tomorrow. I've survived on mucinex and migraine medicine. Lots of sleep. Not much eating and no exercise. I hate this.

It was 19.5 C when I got out of class at lunch ... a heatwave! Warmest we've been in months.
Unfortunately the 87 km/h winds gives it a "feels like " temp of about 8 C.0 -
Oh, what happened to my post. I reached over to get something and when I looked back it was gone. Oh well. Have a good night everyone.
Joyce, Indiana0 -
Terry - We all have pity parties now and then. I am glad that you chose your attitude and it sounds like joy.
Rye - Putting that gift suggestion on the list for Greysyn. Thanks.
Marcelyn - How long will your marathon be?
Yvonne - "I was Country when Country wasn't cool" I really do like most music. For country a few of my favourites are Reba, Shania, Paul Brandt to name a few.
Felicia - Feel better soon.
Day started off pretty good. Two of the grandkids came over to help me get some things accomplished and to earn some money. It was fun working with them. We did have dance breaks. They have better moves than their Grandma. Lol.
Talked to our son in Richmond. Today is the day they were telling their sons that they were splitting. I am glad that they went to a mediator and have worked some things out. The mediator gave them some tools to use when talking to the boys. My heart hurts for all of them. I will talk to Holly tomorrow. Trying my best to stay neutral and let them all know how much I love them.
Larry went off again today. So about a week. I told him I can't keep doing this. I also asked him to cancel the invitation he had made for friends to come for supper. He didn't of course. Really hard to carry on as if nothing is wrong. He was so sweet in front of them. Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. We'll see what this week brings.
Going to a funeral tomorrow. Just found out from my brother today. The mother of one of my good friends from high school. He will be travelling down from the NWT. She became a very good friend of my parents. Mike's Dad suffered from some mental/drinking problems. I remember being there when he decided to throw a butcher knife at one of the boys. She never divorced him, had 8 kids with him, paid for his funeral even though she hadn't lived with him in over 20 years. Rose went back to the old country once and was ostracized for kicking him out of the house. They farmed down the road from us.
Greysyn went out for a driving lesson from his Grandpa. They went out for about 2 hrs and you could not wipe the grin off that kid's face when they got back.

Morning, happy Monday everyone. Will be a short work week for me and I am going to schedule an appointment to see if I can get some PT for my aching wrists! Right wrist is really in pain, can't twist or turn without twinges that say call the doctor or else!
Made my red lentil soup in the IP yesterday, so delicious, I think i could eat that soup every day, well I made enough to do that this week.
Better get moving, have a good one ladies. NYKAREN2 -
Happy week!
Up doing the morning pills and dog letting out. Will need to bath the big one-WHY DO DOGS ROLL IN STINK? Ain't nobody gonna be happy about this.
Lots of left-overs and left-behinds in frig so they are on the menu today-chili, tuna salad, bit of steak. My big thought is to walk on treadmill for 10 minutes when we take school breaks thru the day. Either the neighbor has a visitor or the owl is still awake outside.1 -
Good morning, all, afternoon and evening, and Happy Monday from the High Chihuahuan Desert.
No, I haven't traveled anywhere, and if I did, I wouldn't have gone to another desert, 'cause I live in one. Well, on the edge of one, here in West Texas, where all the plants are homicidal and all the deer are suicidal.
Held my weight, and even lost another pound, saw 202 on the scales this morning, and pleased about that. However, I'm coming off the Contrave. My left hand is constantly quivering right now, and was yesterday evening as well, and the medication has been known to have neurological effects. I could be blowing it out of proportion, but made the decision last night to start dropping the dose.
Quick weight loss can bugger your electrolytes and coordination from here to next Tuesday, as well, but I'm actually having a little bit of a struggle getting the left hand under control to type. And typing is how I make a living. I'll be tapering off it over the next week or so, already began dropping the dose last night.
I'm continuing to try to convince myself that if I can do it with the medication, I can do it without the medication. That Contrave uncovered the ability to keep my appetite and impulses under control, it didn't invent that ability. Hopefully I can keep myself convinced of that over the next few weeks as I continue to log and stay under my calories successfully. Trying to stay upbeat about it. This morning, I feel strong enough to deal with it.
Off to the races, my chickens, got grants to write today and tomorrow before heading for El Paso Wednesday to meet with the boss.
Love y'all,

Mid-September ...In August, I ended up within the range I wanted to end up ... between my 2015 August and my 2016 August. I would have liked to get closer to my 2016 August, but a cold/flu/sinus infection kind of took me out of the game.

Sept 8 - 1.7 km walking (20 min) + 20 flights of stairs (16 min)
Sept 9 - 35.6 km cycling (110 min)
Sept 10 - 27.2 km cycling (85 min) + 2.4 km walking (24 min)
Sept 11 - 29.1 km cycling (45 min) indoors in a very energetic spin class! + 3.1 km walking (35 min)

Got up extra early this morning so there would be enough time for dog walking, breakfast, meditation, showering and dressing in time to get to Jake's 8 AM doctor appointment.
