    We woke up to snow on the ground this morning. ICK! But my cold feels slightly better than yesterday, so that's good ... especially since I do 4 meetings today. I'm subbing a couple extra on Saturday, too.

    Snow here, but hopefully won't stay around long.

    What is the move in schedule and where are y'all going in between, Skip?

    WI tonite, the weight loss struggle is real with no thyroid for sure. Add to that the newbie luster has wore off. Excuses. Either way. Must push harder on all fronts. S O put a new notch in his belt, his pants were falling down. MBN

    Stay warm be safe be happy

    Good Morning,
    Hope all up North enjoy snow, could be last this Spring; not likely but could be.
    Hope all that are feeling puny are feeling better and energized soon.
    3:00 this morning awaken by county tornado alarms going off, looked outside stars shining bright; it did start raining about 4:30 this morning; therefore I had a wonderful wet drive in to the big city. 83 more days with only having to work 47 of them. 2 more month-ends.
    After drive home yesterday, picked up DW and DMIL and had to drive to south side of Atlanta to get materials for backsplash. Masters traffic along with spring break makes any driving East or South side of Atlanta hectic. In other words I'm starting out day tired and I have to lead yoga class tonight.
    Prayers continue for Cooper and Moody family,
    Enjoy the Day,
    Sam I am

    Good morning
    Horrible rains here. Torrential downfall so much in fact that schools are closed because of flooding.
    Mary I’m using the My Fitness Pal app I needed something new.
    Sure hope we’re making the right decision with cooper and Saturday. Just prolonging the inevitable.
    DH already left for work. Weird to be the last one out of bed.
    Lisa I’m glad you’re feeling better.
    Sam, the countdown is real. Good for you!!
    I’ll cbl. .

    Mornin' BBB.

    When is the final nail to be pounded, Skip?

    We are s'posed to get a little snow, but not 5 inches! DW went to undergrad in Massachusettes back in the late 70's and remembers snow during finals in May.

    You all redoing the backsplash in your kitchen, Sam. Hope you are re-engergized in time for yoga class.

    LOL, Mary. Your disgust with your SO having an easier time with weight loss takes me back to the old WW boards.

    Posted a few excerpts from Sarah Jane's blog from Rainbow Bridge. Am sure she'll be there for Kelly's Cooper.

    Good morning.

    Cecilia is back and was exhausted. She was supposed to work from home but forgot her plan and went into the office. I was wiped out too and we were both in bed before the nightly news even started (10PM in Chicago).

    She came back rather depressed at the whole situation in Brazil. Her hometown no longer feels safe. So far, it's mostly robbery that has ticked up, but when people tell you to avoid the area near the church at night, that's a sign of real problems.

    We have *maybe* an inch of snow on the ground today. Some folks southwest of here on the GDT have nearly a foot. They can keep it. Pfft.

    Good Morning!

    Record cold here in KC with a feels like of 3 this morning. Ugh!

    Lee, thank you for sharing Sarah Jane's blog. Powerful stuff.

    (((Cooper))) (((Kelly)))

    I am going to a funeral this morning for one of Connie's decades long friend. She died unexpectedly last Thursday. She was 78. I knew her for almost 30 years. Awesome lady.

    I wonder if Skip's new house will be ready for when Sam retires, so that Sam has a place to go on a retirement trip?

    Have a great day!

    Morning bbb. We had a bit of freezing rain and a few flurries yesterday.

    My travel companion was delayed in Minneapolis so we were late in our trip which resulted in a 10pm arrival at the hotel. Glad I decided to stay rather than drive the 45 minutes home

    Today is another long day. Two store visits but they are 2.5 hours apart.

    I got my performance review yesterday and although I know my boss appreciates me it is really nice to see it in writing. With the layoff, unemployment and bankruptcy I haven’t had one in 4 years.

    Can't retreat to Skip's he has double in-law issues where I only have DMIL which should count as 3; now if we could ship in-laws to one house we could have a good retreat at other home.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Skip, you have a roof, floors and toilets. What more do you need?

    Yesterday, DW commented that she couldn't remember me coughing for a while. Amazing that I was so sick this winter that the absence of cold symptoms is noteworthy.

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • What's this snow stuff you speak of? We are inundateded with golfers. They're everywhere.
    • Monthly WW WI yesterday. All good. I have to admit it is easier now that DW is on the program.
    • Wild game in Atlanta last night Skip.
    • Riding the scoot to Athens this afternoon for new tires.
    • I enjoyed Sarah Jane's blog Lee.
    • I'm with Cooper.

    Good Morning BBB.
    Snow on the ground here. Cold temps and windy - feels like December until I look around the yard and see early spring crocus and others that I don’t know the name of. Daffodils and up about 7 inches and will shoot out blooms soon. The majority of our oak trees drop their leaves in the fall but one species hold on to their leaves until spring - when they drop I know spring is really here.
    Kelly - your heart knows when it’s the right time. I use the analogy of the US Supreme Court when asked to define pornograpgy they said that it there is no single definition but you know it when you see it.
    Dave - so glad you are finally getting over the sickness.
    Sam - looks to be cold for the Masters
    Lee - I sure do love re-reading Sarah Jane’s blog posts - <3
    Steph - travel safe
    Mary - keep at it - you got this!
    Bill - it’s so nice that your dad is coming in to help oversee projects.
    Do good out there everyone.
