    Tuesday: After spending a bit of time on the phone, we got someone who will come out later today to fix the vertical shade! Wahoo.

    Edged the lawn. Lots of work, but good exercise.

    Jason has aqua therapy this morning. Hurray!

    HUGS and terrific Tuesday.

    Nola: Thinking of you as you prepare for your surgery.

    Karen: Oh boy. DEFINITELY part of the universe must have been sending out hungry vibes. ME, TOO! Hope that your weigh in went well.

    YES! We got the blind working now! Good repairtech. Thankful!

    Good for you accomplishing your goals!

    Joan: Hello!

    Eliza: Hope you had a good day.

    My Weigh In - Maintaining B)
    So this next week I'll be trying less calories

    Barb thinking of you and your tidied up lawn

    Eliza I hear you, some of the health claims are worse then just going with full flavor
    This morning, I made some 'healthy' no-bake cookies and talk about calories and fat
    To slow myself down I'll Need to eat them with silverware and savor each bite
    Already counted one for today Fingers crossed that's all I eat >:)

    Joan here is to your day <3

    Nola thinking of you <3

    All the best to y'all today too. Beautiful sunny day here in Ottawa, bit of a hazy day day with the smoke from the West but otherwise great. Made jalapeno stuffed chicken breasts on the smoker for supper, hubby loved them!

    Wednesday: Well, we got the blind fixed! Very competent tech! Wahoo!

    Wow! Mid-week. Yikes! FAST week again1

    Have a few chores to do today, have a few bills to pay, and working on decluttering the office (Jason’s office). Got a chunk done yesterday.

    Have a wonderful Wednesday.

    HUGS

    Eliza: Yes, sometimes the ‘health foods’ aren’t so healthy.

    Karen: Wow! Yes, some of the no bake cookies/fat bombs are really not waist friendly.

    Joan: Glad you’re having a sunny day! Ohhhh, jalapeno stuffed chicken breasts sounds delicious!

    Joan <3 Dinner sounded so tasty :)
    Sorry you have hazardous air. We have been lucky but not anymore :(
    It is day 3 for our hazardous air qualities. Our smoke is also rolling in from the south.
    Compared to last year Oregon has twice the fires And burned 20 X’s the acreage.
    So scary and then add the southern state's water shortage



    Barb Wahoo on your new blinds <3 love competent technicians
    I’m decluttering drawers, started in the kitchen, now onto the bedroom.

    Eliza <3 yesterday my healthy treats had me overate last night
    So watching my sugar content o:)


    Today’s potluck dinner, with 8 girlfriends, has been canceled.
    My neighbor is being tested for COVID. Yesterday, she got word her Pickleball friend exposed them on Monday.
    Her first test said ‘inconclusive’ so being retested on Friday.

    Thursday: Wow! I keep saying it, but the weeks are flying by!

    Nice day yesterday. Hazy, though, and air quality not good. So not too much time outdoors. That’s all right. HOPE today is better air quality.

    Made a freggie run yesterday. All set now.

    Have a thankful Thursday, or Friday EVE!


    Karen: Ohno on your neighbor being tested for COVID due to exposure.

    *Lin got word that Nola is doing well. Says she feels better than the 1st time around. Don and Barney are texting her and keeping tabs on her!

    HUGS

    We have clear skies so I’m getting outside for a morning hike.
    So weird because the towns around us have unhealthy at 9 X’s above recommendation.

    Today, I’m working in the kitchen, restocking our freezer with breakfast burritos..
    I’ve also bought all the ingredients for diabetic bran muffins.
    So that recipe is about the fiber not the raisins, nuts or the taste :#


    My neighbor came back Covid negative So YAHOO for her and me
    At least now I know she isn’t one to stay away if she’s infected


    Happy Saturday Nola, Barb, Joan, Eliz <3

    I have been on here much. I'm just finishing a 5% challenge on SP. Just over one more week to go. I read an article that said they would close the site early on 17th and to say our final goodbyes on the 16th.

    I have my second PFizer injection tomorrow. I had no side effects with the first apart from a bit of a sore arm. I hope I'm the same this time too.

    I've been off track recently. I need to get back to exercising and eating healthily. Winter and I just don't get along. I think I must of been a bear in a previous life as hibernation seems like a good idea. :)

    Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend.

    Saturday: Breakfast @ the diner. Waiting to hear what our friends have to say about the Covid #’s. They’re on the front line.

    Had rain last night and that was welcomed! Supposed to be warm this weekend. We’ll see if the forecast is right.

    HUGS and have a good Saturday.

    Joan: I’m sure she is passing on our wishes to Nola!

    Karen: BWAHAHAHA! THAT’s me, too, tonight.

    Keep up the good work.

    Yes, today was a better air quality day . . . . but storming all day! Can’t win! LOL

    Hope you enjoyed you hike!

    Ohhhhh, bran muffins – my Mom loved them. The more tasteless the better. BWAHAHAHA.

    Yes, waiting on word about boosters. Probably in December that will happen, I am gifuting. Right now the push is to get shote 1 and 2 in the arm.

    Kaye: Good luck w/your 2nd Pfizer shot. Sholdn’t be a problem.

    Have a good weekend. Stay hydrated w/the shot. Helps.

    Love the picture! Definitely have to be proud of every accomplishment, every step!

    Sunday: Stormed most of the night. Miss Lilly was like Velcro. AS long as I held her, she wasn’t afraid. Lots of thunder. Right now we’re under a flash flood warning. But we are ok in our area. Other areas in the county are closer to the river and that’s where the flooding seems to be happening.

    Indoor day. Probably work more on decluttering papers from the office.

    HUGS and blessings to y’all

    Good Day All

    Up early heading back to the lab for another session of blood drawing.
    Two doctors didn’t get their orders in like they said they did :(
    But all is well here :) We have 2 days before the predicted smoke rolls back in

    Hugs back And blessings to ALL <3

    Okay after today’s dermatologist appointment I’ve only 4 precancerous burn holes.
    Much better outcome than I was thinking
    Also, both blood drawing for sugars and cholesterol came back unchanged so that was also better I was thinking
    I’m on a roll :)B)o:)

    Slept well, but for the next 3 days we are hiding from the heat and smoke
    Yesterday, DH put in a new kitchen faucet, the big one-pieced curved one with the 3 function spray nozzle
    Love my plumber

    Thinking of you ALL my friends

    Hemtech Posts: 746 Member
    Oh! I wish he could replace my old faucet! We are not handy with that sort of thing and plumbers are so expensive here! Hot and humid again here. Walked early, did some yard work and will probably lay low for the afternoon. 40C with humidity is not fun but better than snow!

    Up and ready to have a Great Friday :)
    My plan is ST with upper hand weights and lower step routine

    For the last few days, I having been lethargic. Laying around, eating more…
    bad combination.

    Our weekend should be cooler & smoke free so that will get me back outside.

    Couple smiles for ALL
