If my phone rings, it's either spam or the reception of one of many medical offices confirming my or my husband's appointment that week.
I am not fond of talking on the phone, so friends email or message.

Beth & Lanette- The official pinata of 2020 is something I hope not to see in person at close range. :noway:
I am looking for a ceramic trivet set for coffee cups to replace the one that was broken months ago by a careless house cleaner in our home. So far I haven't found what I want. I bought the original several years ago at Depot Bay State Park on the Oregon coast. They are not currently open for business, thanks to Covid 19/2020, and I've been unable to find any information on their gift items. The facility is not currently open. I guess it will be something to look for in the future when our state parks are back in normal business.

I am exhausted. Not sick. Just tired.
Our campus moved the dorms to phase 0 -- which means students are to stay in their rooms as much as possible, on their floors (so they can shower/potty), and meals from the campus dining are to-go only. Our offices are phase 1, which means only essential employees are to be on campus. I'm here, even though my family reminds me that I'm not really essential. (thanks, guys). Classes are back to all remote instruction through today. An email should be coming out soon telling us if we will be in person or remote next week.
Attendance in my remote classes today were down, about 25%. I think students are exhausted, too. It's too much change all of the time.
But I am back on track with my diet, at least. I've taken like a two year hiatus after my sister's death. I still feel a little guilty that I am here and she's not, but that's no excuse to gain a pound a month (a mere extra 100 calories a day.) I'm back down five pounds, so at least it is coming off more quickly than I gained it.
Everyone take care. The next few weeks sound like they could be pretty rough.

Rather tired. Back tomorrow morning.

I have been doing more research and comparing the calories I require to maintain my weight. I am close to the ideal 145. I have held at 142 for several months now, only dropping a bit during the digestive system cleanse. My daily calories required with my current workout, walking, and other activity is 1900. My 3 breakfasts and brunch account for 900. Lunch is usually around 500 and dinner 500. That all figures out because my weights are consistent. It is suggested I consume 500 more a day in order to gain weight. I don't know how to do that without adding junk food. I just don't have the appetite to eat any more good food. If I add anything, it will be a slice of sour cherry pie or cobbler.
I am treating myself to the assortment of Halloweenie chocolates I bought, well for myself since I shut down all blinds and curtains at 5 PM and have all porch lights off. I have all house lights off except one reading light in my bedroom that no one can see. I still have kids ringing my bell until 9. I am going to disable it this year. I haven't been egged in years and that was when I was passing out candy. I think TP ing is a thing of the past.

Katla- may i suggest Vermont Country Store.. check them out online.. they might have something like what you are looking for.
Geesh I got a disagree for the Christmas Bird count.. honest I thought there at least used to be one.0 -
Fae: TP has recently been difficult to buy. It seems a little better lately. Seniors in our community get early hours to shop for needed items like TP. 🙈🙊🙉0

I have locked myself out of my computer at work. Frustrating.
Thank you- I will be getting that, most likely for Kindle(don't want to pay the price for hardbound)
I need to change things up on my eating- I have been staying at my 1000 cal a day for 16 months now. Lost slowly at first but just maintaining the last 8 months- have 15 more I want to loose. I keep telling myself I am going to have a "cheat day/meal" but in the end, never do. Even today, went out to eat, first time since end of February- went to Fuddruckers and got a burger- only ate half while there, finished it after I got home. Now I am full and at 720 for the day. I am sure I will eat a little more(it is only 4:30PM) but doubt I will go over the 1000. had 1/2 a doughnut which I never to also today, but I have added in an hour or more walking with a friend three times this week- Let's see what the scale does Sunday morning.

Did Bikini Boot Camp DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Body By Bethany DVD (yoga)
Allie – OUCH
Tracey – the reason you lose when you go over on calories is probably because you’re confusing your system, one day up, one day down. It doesn’t know what to expect.
Got a call from the hospital yesterday to set up an appt for my Prolia. So I’ll go next Tuesday. I thought I needed a new prescription from the md but they tell me that I don’t
TSO is having a virtual concert this year so I asked Lynette if she and Ken would like to go to dinner then come here to watch the concert. It’s on a Friday. She said that they’d have to skip the dinner since companies will be having their parties. In this Covid setting? I know what it is…she wants to skip dinner in case she’s invited to a party. But I don’t know if companies will have parties. I know Newcomers has already cancelled their party. They’re going to have an “open house” at the airport. Personally, I would like it to be somewhere besides the airport.
Volunteered at the soup kitchen today then came home and helped Vince put out the stakes for the “fence” for the decorations. As we were out there, I overheard this little girl who was walking by saying “they always have such nice Halloween decorations”. Then she asked her mother “do you think they’re putting them up?” I told Vince this hoping it’ll spur him on to decorate more. We need it. Everyone.
I’ll probably work on some of the crochet towel toppers. The cats don’t seem to bother me while I’m doing the jigsaw puzzle so I told Vince that he should help me and see if they leave it alone. So far, he hasn’t Update: made one towel topper (just need to put the button on it) then worked a bit on the puzzle. I find that if I work for just a little bit, many times the piece I'm looking for is right in front of me.

That disagree button needs to be moved. When using a phone and scrolling it can be hit so easily without even knowing you hit it. I wouldn’t take it to heart at all.3 -

Karen Oh! Oh! Oh!
Woke up at 1.37 with my nose streaming and sneezing.
Decamped upstairs and streamed until gone 4. 
DH must have passed on the cold he must have caught from the kids. He probably got a bit too close to Bea. Shows how easy it is. 
Good thing is, this is definitely a head cold, but it could have been something else. Must be more careful. I might ask to Zoom them this weekend. Cases going up around here, though still well below the national average.
Bit the bullet last night and texted the decorator to come and estimate for the hall, toilet and bottom stairs, and landing and top stairs. We can divide it into two separate areas so we can spread the cost. He can't do it until next spring anyway as he is booked up until then. Gives us a chance to save up. He is very cheap, very good and very nice. He will pop in next week to see it. I think it’s lovely to have a welcoming hall area. Ours is hideous, with various terrible paint jobs where they just painted around the wardrobe! :noway: There seem to be defunct telephone wires everywhere as well.
I'm going to wait until the summer to get the floor sanded as we will have to go out for the day.

Hello everyone.
I took yesterday off from work to get weekend shopping done prior to the weekend crowds. My car started acting funny, various warning lights going on and off, etc. I did not make my first destination. I ended turning the car around to research what may be in need of repair. If I am correct I need a new alternator. Car repair costs are so expensive here I figure it's a $1k repair. It is probably less but I do need two new tires, an oil change, a power steering hose replacement (which will require a full drain of the power steering fluid with fluid replacement), and an air conditioner fan. I can replace the air conditioner/heat fan myself, but the rest of the items I cannot do. Engines are so darn tight now! One almost has to drop an engine for any type of repair. Oh, where are the 1980 models where the alternator required the removal of 3 bolts with an easy slip off and on?? The hardest thing back then was adjusting it so the belt would catch!!
After I returned home I let the car sit awhile and drove over to the local grocery store. It was still making the weird noise but no warning lights. I figure I have a week or two before I need to get it in the shop. Here is to hoping we get our full bonuses this quarter.
I am actually on the fence with getting Betsy the Beast repaired - she is a 2003 and is good for around the town, but I am not comfortable driving her more than 20 miles away from home. It has dampened my lifestyle.
Love all the memes and grand baby pictures! Keep them coming.
Hugs to all and prayers for those in need.

SuzieQ Sorry to hear about auto problems. Yes, I don't even attempt to work on my car. If it was the alternator your car would be dead once the battery ran down. Maybe just an alt bearing going bad that makes the noise, but that shouldn't cause warning lights to come on. With all the electronics that control our cars these days, it takes a computer to analyze them. It sounds like that car is ready for replacement.
Heather Last fall no one would have even paid attention to a head cold, but now it gets everyone's attention. Changing strange times. I think the viral threat is here to stay.
Michele Bikini boot camp DVD? That sounds like something I would be involved in. Were you wearing a bikini when you watched and worked with it?
Karen Super cuties!

Morning, afternoon and evening, all,
Thought I'd drop in and post a few pics of Levi. I appreciate all of the pictures of the grands, as we watch these little guys grow and change over the years. In the spoiler, a few pics my daughter sent me while I was missing in action:On the afghan I made for Levi - as there's not time left for me to make ones for all three, I sent this one with my daughter when she went back home:
He's pulling up on everything, and poised to run. Just nine and a half months, but already in 18 to 24-month sizes, he's going to be linebacker sized, with his mama's height and his daddy's fireplug build.
Still hoping we'll see them at Christmas.
Later,

Love, Love, Love all the pics of grand kids.

Saturday -- the biggest day of the cycling events we're organising and we had a beautiful day. Gorgeous weather and great scenery.
I ended up spending a lot of time in the sun and got a bit of a tan ... first tan of the season!
Then I had a spa bath! First one in ages. Quite frankly, baths bore me but a little boredom is OK these days and the jets were great for my feet and the heat was great for my neck.
And when I emerged, we watched the AFL "Footy" Grand Final. My team did not win.
It'll be another early night because there is another day of cycling to organise.
