@Novembergail ,, Awww there's that ever WAY TO SWEET and very entertaining Billie!! HI BILLIE!! We've MISSED YA!! And your Mom of course!! Oh absolutely HI To Catawissa and Cricket from Izzy PUUUURRR PUUURRRFECT!! GLAD Billie realizes ,,, LOL HOPEFULLY those skunks lead to special treatment!
@Patti241 ,, HI Patti!! It was a wee chili, but not to bad. Last night I was walking back from the grocery store about 7:30 PM, I didn't need a coat it was 42. A couple of teenagers (Girls maybe 14ish?) stopped me "Aren't you COLD?" I had to giggle I wasn't cold. An older woman stopped me "Aren't you COLD?" "No, when I walk I get super heated. I'm going to HATE SUMMER!" She laughed "Yes, me too! HOT FLASHES!" we laughed and kept going. Mind you it's a 3 to 4 min walk home at this point.
@Bookienj,, any plans this weekend? Today I took it easy. A friend and I did run a few errands this afternoon, that was nice. We both tire out pretty quickly though. So strange we've been friends since our late teens into our 30's we were so FULL of energy, we took up rollerblading in our early 30's! YO huh? Oh BTW it's NOT a good idea to the first time you go out, to do so at night (our logic the neighbors won't laugh at us) but IF THEY COULD OF SEEN US THEY SURELY WOULD OF!! Neither of had really practiced stopping, and OOOPS we hadn't taken into consideration "THE HILL" where we both LOST CONTROL!! Somehow we both managed to stay upright trying to NOT scream our silly lungs out! LOL we avoided that hill afterwards. I still drive down it often and every now I'll start to giggle.
@Cseguin2,, so glad you are starting to turn the corner. Just do what you need to, let that energy build up. Though we know you want to help your team, if you come back strong, you'll feel better, and that's ALL any team wants for each and every member.3 -
Good evening folks, my busy 8 or 9 weeks is finally coming to an end, I am so looking forward to MAY it is my fav month of the year, just after the so called April rains and JUST before the heat wave of summer - so May is my month ! My business has been successful indeed!
@Dianedoessmiles1 we had our final talk from our CO - well we have one more service group tomorrow and then lunch over zoom with the CO and then they move on! It was a bitter sweet end to 5 years with this CO and at the end, we were all choked up singing the final song of the meeting, and then we had a congregation foto taken. THEN it is onto the lasagna murder mystery dinner at my daughter's - we were all assigned a charactor to create a costume for. My costume is for the princess that was / is betrothed to the slain younger king - I did not do it !! Anyway the funny thing about this princess, is she cares for CATS !!! PURRRRFECT eh? I had to rig up a white dress kinda costume, and since white is not being sold now, I went to the dollar store at Aberdeen and bought some short cafe curtains with a rose design that are white, and then I threaded a scarf through them to tie around my wast - er - well - anyway I have a white top and lots of jewelery and then I have a braided pink headband, that will be my ... crown .. hmmm... I'll get my grand to take a picture when I have it all together tomorrow !! I was out this afternoon with just a sweater and at one point had to take it off - I was just too hot from walking !
I also took pictures of clouds but they did not turn out as well as i hoped, so I will work on that - there will be lots of clouds from time to time to take pictures.
@NovemberGail your Billie is adorable !
@CSEGUIN2 I hope your feeling better soon and you follow @Dianedoessmiles1 advise and just gradually pick up speed. It's still early in the challenge so this might have been a good time to be a bit slower then normal.
Here's a picture from today's outing :
Have a good night and a serene Sunday !!

Good morning everyone3

U-Haul was all packed yesterday. It and 2 vehicles pulling out tomorrow for Tenn. My sister and I will be returning on Thursday. Mom will be staying even though she makes sure to get her digs about me that this wasn't her idea. Recently she has also taken to making snide remarks to my sister and brothers. She has gotten a lot worse to the point one night she was talking and I asked what and was told she wasn't talking to me but to Deb (who I happen to be). Plan is for once I return to Ohio I finalize everything, get rid of what we weren't taking and that everyone gets what they are taking. I will be returning to Tenn May 14, a little earlier than planned because my aunt says she doesn't think she can handle Mom alone3

The male hummingbirds are arriving! They are a bit later than last year. Also saw two swallows so they are coming back, too. So far I haven't seen any phoebes or summer tanagers. I just need to wait patiently.

@Dianedoessmiles1 -well it’s Sunday afternoon now. Yesterday hubby and I went Pokémon go hunting for 3 hours…lots of walking. Today I walked with a friend, played games with fighter/hubby, and soon I get to play mom taxi for my older daughter. She is getting out at 5pm or later so hubby wants me to get there at 5 and wait. So I will. But bringing a fully charged phone and book. And lol about roller skating adventures. Glad you enjoyed the errands.
@LindieMaeP -yay on successful business!1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a beautiful summer like day. Feeling so much better today! Just need to get rid of the cough completely. My day was very productive and still feeling energized. I am listening to my body each day all day. Normally I would have just made excuses to sit around while sick even when I didn't need to. Not this time! I HAVE THE POWER! 😂2 -
@Lindiemaep ,,,,Awww I wanted to see a pic of you as the Cat Princess!!! In May is our last CO visit, oh there's no doubt there will be tears when our CO leaves. Happiness when the new one comes.
@Patti241 ,, HI Patti!!

Good Evening Everyone!
Still having sinus and cough issues. It's been more like Spring today with cooler temps and rain all day. Had a productive day! Organized my cupboards I have been planning to do for a week. Also organized on top of the fridge. Also washed down countertops and stovetop. Workouts and step-ups done as well. Feeling stronger each day. Soon it will be time to hit the books again. Maybe Wednesday. Not going to TOPS tomorrow as I am still sick. Will be weighing at home this week. Not going to stress about the number for multiple reasons. But mainly it's a different scale. Have been watching a Robin for several days. It's definitely determined. It continues to try and make a nest but has had no success. It has tried 2 different spots on the house next door. But just can't seem to get anything to stay long enough.1 -
CSEGUIN2: Sorry you are not feeling well. I applaud you organizing your kitchen. If you need a helper, Catawissa loves reorganizing cabinets. She is for hire if you can find her.

Depending on how you access your team you might not be aware of an issue that has been discoverd so right click on the link, request new tab or window then when that one opens, click the link again and read the information about an outage for certain functions. I won't go into detail since it is nicely addressed at that link:

Hey, is anyone else bummed about the race for bonus points/landing being discontinued? I needed that motivation to exercise on the weekends. I even planned recovery days and long runs to help my team finish higher in the standings. Yeah, I know we're here to support each other, but competition is motivating.5

@Bookienj ,,, So strangely Maine is a rural state, yet. The upper part of Maine is very rural, but the numbers are simply crazy up there. I am in the Southern end ,, on the coast and yet, our numbers are also picking up quite a bit. So far everyone is feeling ick, but no more than that. TY TY TY TY!!
@Cseguin2 ,,, Awwww so cool to watch the birds as they look for a place to settle down into. They indeed do not give up. Fascinating to watch them!! Glad you are feeling better. Since Friday I am slowly decluttering (SPRING cleaning) my kitchen also. I "Think" I have to many containers for food, so OUT some shall go ,, well to GW or I'll see if any neighbors want some. Many are making meals for each other, those who do not cook are benefiting, and in turn they are helping the others who do cook with other tasks. It's so nice how much we care about each other. GREAT JOB on your progress!
@Novembergail,, LOLOLOL When I lived in CO the crazy family set up an ENTIRE CUPBOARD TO IZZY so she could sleep ANY PLACE in it she wishes. Hmmmm I quickly told them "No, Izzy does NOT need a cupboard!! I was of course OUT VOTED!! LOL She also ALWAYS had a fresh glass of water ON THE DINING ROOM TABLE! at all times! HMMM NNOOO!!!! Izzy DOES NOT need water in a GLASS on the TABLE!! AGAIN I was outvoted. At least everyone LOVED Izzy. Awww Catawissa is so ADORABLE!! Awwwww so sweet!!! IZZY APPROVES OF ALL of their antics!! OH I MAY ADD my GS and Izzy shared the SAME GLASS!! LOL I was stumped, but who says Teenage boys are SMART? WELL he was, but!!
@Lindiemaep ,,, Mine has been fine. Has it been taken care of for you? Are you now able to see the pictures on the home feed on your computer?
@Nbruns83,, we are still doing the racing,,, the top 3 teams tend to be the same ones who always got the bonus points. In these 3 (usually 3) top teams getting 100, 75 or 50 points it made it even harder for the Final weekly points for other teams. This way the other 5 teams aren't at more of a disadvantage for the Final Points. We wanted to close that gap better. I am the CL of the Positively Strong 4 Life team, and indeed agreed that we really didn't need 100 more points for coming in first or the 75 for 2nd place. Does it make more sense this way? ITs the Final weekly points that helps the team in it's overall standings. Each team at the end of the week for the Overall points is scored at 25% of their final points for the following 4: Exercise , LTGL 1 , LTGL 2 and their weigh ins. PLEASE DO ALL continue to help your plane land first, it's fun for us all to see how we do. This is still very much a part of the "Race to exciting places" it's not been discontinued. Only the bonus points are,, the WOOHOO and excitement is still there very much. As a CL, I'll still be encouraging our team to work for that spot we are usually in.3 -

Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been cloudy. Also was my rest and weigh day. Gained 4.65 lbs 🙄. Oh well it is what it is. I know what's causing it so just need to get more serious about my calories and other things. Did some marching, step-ups, and a core workout to get some movement today. Time to start cracking down on my food intake and make way better choices. I have done it for multiple years and there's no reason not to now. I CAN DO IT!4 -
Today was a perfect spring day -- high of 60 degrees. The lilacs have the best scent this year. I managed to work outside for five hours. I'll pay for it tomorrow (maybe). Billie had a blast.

@Patti241 ,,, sounds so nice!! I DO LOVE the city. LOL Sometimes I WISH I could see the stars, and have quiet, though QUICKLY it'd drive me crazy!! LOLOL!!
@Bookienj,,,, The numbers are crazy, at some point Covid will be like a cold, is it a bad one? Or a mild one and that'll be it. We'll go on in life , changed, and different, yet the same.
@Cseguin2,,,, Oh I hate a large gain, but a large gain as we get it back it together it also comes OFF fast!! You know to track your food and there's NO DOUBT you can do it!!2 -
Diane: Yeah it can be quiet here.1

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was cold and cloudy to start now the sun has come out. Went for a walk as I had to go to the bank and grab some groceries. I learned very quickly to wear my mask even when outdoors to help protect my lungs from the chilly air. But I still enjoyed being outside. Ended up bringing a cab home as I bought more than I could carry. Calories are really high as we ate fast food for lunch. I really need to be strong about my food plan or I will continue in the wrong direction. Started studying for my food handlers course as I need to have the test taken asap. This puts my school studies on hold but that's ok. There is no time limit on that except the one I put on myself. My client called today to see how I am as everyone was asking about me at TOPS and she wanted to know if I would be coming to clean on Friday. I told her I am doing better and I would let her know tomorrow if I will be there on Friday.2
