Smoke from the wildfires has returned. My allergies are going crazy! Trying to moderate and get in some exercise every day. Some success- the scale will tell.
Wishing everyone a great week!

Syd, glad you had a great time. Gary, the haze is awful.
I am surviving. Hope all is well with everyone.0 -
Thinking about you Katie as hurricane Lane approaches!0

Our son has been working in Japan the past two months. He met a Japanese girl there a year ago and after several trips got engaged. So he was staying with her while working. So glad he did. Evidently she is a problem drinker who gets physically and emotionally abusive. Last night she went nuts. He was able to get his backpack and luggage in his rental car but she managed to get the door open and steal his luggage. He spent the night in his workplace parking lot and talked to his US boss when the plant opened. He was afraid she would make a false claim against him causing him to lose his passport while it was being investigated.
Six hours later he was on a plane which just landed at SeaTac. Thankful he made it, but may have lost his belongings.
Drinks with him tonight if he can be awake that long.0 -
OMG Gary! How scary! So glad he's back home0

Oh Gary that sounds awful. Kate I hope you guys are safe.
No news to report here. Just plodding along0 -

Hi Ann!
I've seen Kate post a couple of workouts the last day or 2...so it looks like all might be ok.
Does anyone here meditate? I'm into my 2nd week and it's interesting. Maybe if I get good I'll cut down on the wine
:drinker: 0 -
Hey Syd! I've never done any meditation but I've heard its supposed to be great for stress relief, kinda like yoga...2 things I keep meaning to do but haven't...

The summer has flown by hasn't it! School has already started here.
Have not tried any meditation, but anything that helps with relaxation- go for it!
We got a backyard playground project done and I posted a few pics of it on my profile page if you want to check it out.
Have a great extended weekend!0 -
Keep your fingers crossed I have an interview Thursday for a new job.0
-
Good luck on your interview Robin!

Yay...good luck, Robin!
Can't believe it's September. I'm always a little depressed when summer ends, but I'm hoping to start off the month strong (ignoring this past weekend where I ate and drank too much!)
Hope you're all doing well!0 -
Where the hell did the summer go?0

I will be taking my annual Mt Adams trip beginning Sunday and will be outta touch for awhile. Enjoy your weekend!
I doubt I will be behaving myself!

Yay. Enjoy Gary!
Robin, hope the interview went well. My husband ran into the woman who replaced him in his job from hell he left...he said she looked like sh!!it, bags under her eyes and she almost started crying. Toxic bosses and jobs suck!!!
Real fall like weather all week but we're heating up this weekend. Yay...not ready to give up summer 😎 :drinker:0 -
Good luck Robin! Fingers crossed for you0
-
The interview went well. Now it is just finger crossed waiting.0
-
Good luck Robin!
My annual trip to Mt Adams went well. We got rained on every day but we were prepared for it. Great campfires, company and food.
We leave tomorrow for a two week trip to Idaho where we will ride on Rails to Trails with our trikes. It should be fun but we will be with limited cell/internet service so my check ins will be spotty.
Until then enjoy life and each other! :flowerforyou:0 -
Have a great trip, Gary!1
-
How fun!! Enjoy, Gary. I'm impressed you're so active on your vacays! I'm a blob usually

Have fun on your trip Gary, sounds like fun!!
We just got back from our 5-year anniversary trip. We visited Mackinac Island - I haven't been there in years, still beautiful! Then we stayed in a lighthouse, just outside of Marquette in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan - that was amazing! It's a bed & breakfast working lighthouse. Also hit a Beer fest while we were in Marquette - oh my!! WAY too much beer that day!!!
Finally, we stayed the night in Petoskey, just outside of Traverse City. Another beautiful location - Michigan gets super cold in the winter but it sure is a beautiful state! 0 -
Sounds so nice, Ann! Any place near water is always a plus for me...throw in a beer fest and it sounds pretty perfect!
I've managed to drop those 3 pounds I gained last month while on vacay. Maybe I can continue with it for the next 2 weeks until we leave again for another week...where I'm sure I'll promptly gain it back.0 -
I needed to vent and I knew I could come here about this....
I bought a 6 pack of wine...you know..it's cheaper and was a good deal. the carrier thingy that they gave me collapsed as I was bringing it into my kitchen and 2 bottles broke. (Could have been worse I guess). One was red wine tho...and it went under this huge cabinet I have in the kitchen so I had to drag that out (Over 500 lbs) to clean.
this day

Oh Syd, that stinks!! And also is alcohol abuse!!!
