Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been cold and cloudy all day. Tried to go for a walk this morning. But was just to cold for me to do my whole walk. Got the neighbors lawn mowed but still need to weed wack as the battery wasn't charged. Arm still tender when moved wrong. So stuck to some light cleaning and playing cards. Tomorrow is scale day. Not sure how I did but do know that I tried. Tomorrow I am also going to get a good bathing suit. My nephew's birthday is next weekend and the pool is open!
Here's a picture of 3 Canadian geese families I took yesterday. I figured there was close to 30 babies.

@Dianedoessmiles1 -yup it was weird how the teacher picked. Specially because I had fine motor delays so something with less fine motor could have been good. And my friend with severe asthma got put on clarinet. She didn’t last many years. Piano teacher wasn’t too bad. Lots of time to practice. She did hit our fingers with a pencil so you tried not to make mistakes. Harp sounds pretty. That’s great you got to see it being played.2

It's been ten days since Billie had her surgery. She is back to her active self. Animal stories tonight: I got about four nails trimmed on Billie, who ended up growling and got up in a huff and left the room. Catawissa let me trim all her nails and got a nice treat. I chased Cricket all over the house and once I tried to hold him, he went full claws out. We both survived but Cricket still has long nails (lol).

@Patti241 WOOHOO Patti more and more things will be there over time. Are there many farmers who are starting to have greenhouses? It's getting to be the thing here. That'll help us out a LOT since it's cold 99% of the time.
@Cseguin2 ,,, Brrr on it being cold!! I totally enjoyed today we were in the mid 60s with a very nice breeze. WOOHOO on getting the lawn done! WTG!! Hope tomorrow your arm no longer hurts. Great job today! WOW Lots of babies they do have!! Awww babies are always so cute!
@Bookienj,,,, That's to bad the teacher didn't take that into consideration, I suppose that happened a lot. Hopefully now a days things have changed. From what I saw in the 2nd grade I helped in it has. Thankfully! That was simply cruel about your friend being put on the clarinet, erring on the side the teacher "meant" well, thinking maybe her breathing would improve, of course that's foolish. Cool about the piano teacher!!
@Novembergail,,, LOLOLOL Oh they can be slippery little things!! Awww Billie looks just as cute as EVER!! OHHH THE DRAMATICS they pull!! Izzy is like Catawissa,,, though she WILL GROWL at me, and show her teeth onto my hand, but she never bites down,, and LOL SHE'S PURRING at the same time. Just letting me know "I know it NEEDS to be done (You tell me that A LOT!) and I myself being the brilliant kitty I am I know my paws will feel so awesome!! STILL I am growling to make you feel so guilty I get extra treats!" The moment I let go of her, she'll RUN about 5 or 6 steps, turn around ,,come back. She knows the routine. Momma survives the "NAIL CUTTING OF DREAD" and I get SNACKS!! They play it up so well!4 -

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a slight disappointment on the scale. Gained 2.5 lbs. 🙄 Had a great TOPS meeting today otherwise today. Also went out for lunch and went bathing suit shopping found something I really like and feel secure in. Also went to Walmart and bought some plants, a birthday present for my nephew, and a few other things. Hubby decided we were ordering dinner out. Neighbor gave me some hostas today so planted them as soon as I got home. Calories are over. Arm is still tender but hoping can get my workouts done with little discomfort tomorrow.2 -
After listening to tonight's news and not even beginning to comprehend the suffering of families who lost children and a teacher who will not come home tonight, I just am saying a silent prayer.

@Patti241,, such a great idea! Hopefully more will do these. That'd help if many do this and flood the markets with fresh, locally grown food.
@Bookienj,,, that's so cool!! I had an older neighbor who really helped me to read in a way it became exciting! I think of ALL Mrs. Beck did for me, while I was just a rug rat!! We are so fortunate in that these ones helped us out. Of course once I learned to LOVE to read, my Mom loved it also,,, she was THRILLED we finally had something in common!
@Cseguin2 ,,, So sorry about the gain. I LOVE eating out!! I did so yesterday. I brought 1/2 of it home, and LOL Just finished it tonight (It made 3 meals in all). Hope you got the hosta planted okay. ENJOY the workout tomorrow!! I'm HOPING when I see the foot Dr, he'll say ONE MORE WEEK and I AM going to be woohoo!!
@Novembergail , it hurts so much to see such little lives gone from a bully. I do not care his "reason" its not a reason. I think of the practice we had the kids do a "mock drill" of a shooting right before the pandemic. It was a 2nd grade class. We had told the kids ahead of time it was only "in case of" someday. I had 3 kids tucked under my arms trying to not cry out loud, they were so scared. That doesn't leave me and I am a ADULT!! I can't even begin to imagine what the kids, their families, so many others are going through. Mental health help is such a joke.3 -
It is a cloudy day but I will be able to get my walking in2

Oops on me. I've forgotten the 5% math equation. Can someone plz remind me? Thnx2

@Dianedoessmiles1: When I read your reflection, I keep thinking "where are the adults"? What are we putting these children through? I am frustrated because I am sure there is answer out there but we just can't hear it because of all the noise. So glad that your arms were around those children.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a little cool and some rain. Got all my exercise done! Haven't done that in a week or so. Also got some more plants planted in pots. Did laundry and played some cards. Not sure what all is planned for me tomorrow but I plan to have another great day!2 -
@Patti241 ,,, Glad you still got in your walk!! WTG!!! Hope you enjoyed the rest of the day!!

Do you mean how to calculate for the 5% Weight loss? The start of your weigh in (4/9/22) Times it by .005. For example if one weighs in at 200 lbs.Oops on me. I've forgotten the 5% math equation. Can someone plz remind me? Thnx
They'd multiply 200 x .005= 10 lbs to lose.
Goal would be 200-10= 190
To make their 5%
@Novembergail ,, today it hit hard when I realized the 2nd graders I held (Mrs M had also 3 kids under her arms) are now in the 4th grade. Man, has no answers. I know you are a woman of strong faith, that's where the answer is. Mankind has not gotten along hardly at all through history. LOVE the Iris!! Katie lost hers with the snowstorm.
How's Billie today?
@Cseguin2 ,,,, AWESOME JOB on getting in your exercise!! Nicely done!! Especially since it was cool and some rain. Great job getting things done. I'm going to change around my My Tiny Habit and add in some FUN ME TIME!! i do not do this nearly enough. Reading your "Played cards" made me glance around, a dear friend got me the NEATEST SPIROGRAPH and I NEED to learn to play with it, it's a little bit different than the ones I had as a kid, so OFF I GO to look at youtube,,,, LOL HOPE someone has stuff I can learn it from. Reading directions I CAN DO , but oops sometimes I do like most men do (I was raised with 4 brothers, no sisters!) I DO NOT LIKE DIRECTIONS!! LOLOLOL!! I think I may of told you all this. If so sorry!! Years ago I was visiting my Dad and Mum (Step Mom, but WOW she was GREAT hence the "Mum") in FL. Dad had driven us to a strawberry festival. On the way back Mum had wanted to stop at an AMAZING Candy store. We were traveling back to their place, the GPS kept telling him "Turn right, Turn Right , Turn right (He had missed a turn) Dad hollers "SHUT UP!!" Paused explained to us "I HATE this woman telling me where to GO!" Mum said "John, we can change it to a mans voice." Dad "NO THAT'S EVEN WORSE!! WE'LL ALWAYS BE LOST!!" We laughed so hard the 3 of us. I STILL DO!! They are gone, but certainly not forgotten!!3 -
I think I'm getting burnt out with posting to two teams and all that's happening with my body and family! I said I'd help with the next round, I'm not sure anymore. Any suggestions? I hate letting my team down, but I'm not much help when I feel like this.

@aalley5 I've been a 5% team leader off and on since 2010 and there have been seasons I've struggled with when it was time to let go and take a break. If you're burning out, you need to make a change and at the end of the season is way better than during one, or just before one starts. Your team will be fine. Things always work out. And is staying on while you continue to burn out and struggle and not enjoy what you're doing really good for the team either?
The other factor is to ask if you're doing more than you really need to do and is it because it is required or you just want to? I tend to do more than is needed. Sometimes it's my own expectations that are getting in the way and not the expectations of my team. If that is the case, then cut back, or bring in an FA to help. If your not doing extra, it probably is time to step down. Burning out is not good for you or for your team. Ceri has said repeatedly, if you're on the fence, it's probably time for a break.
Life sometimes gets in the way of what we want to do, and we have to make a choice where our time and energy will go. Sometimes we need to step back for awhile, refresh and come back when we're ready. But only you can decide when to step down and when to come back. I've had that struggle. (((HUGS)))5 -

Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been rain on and off all day with bits of sun worked in. My walk this morning was partly in a rain shower. Completed all my workouts for the second day in a row! I am trying not to get to excited so that I keep the streak going. Did some laundry and got the dishes finally caught up. Got my sports Fitbit band in the mail today. Bought the wrong size but will still work. The color is frosted lilacs. Tomorrow I get to go to work and clean. Didn't go last week as she was not home.4 -
