Good Evening Everyone!
They do have my paperwork. They are blaming holidays for holding up the mail. They will only do pays every 2 weeks so I will get all the pay next Friday.
Today was another day of productivity. Studied, called bluff on the rain and completed my whole walk, did some laundry and dishes, and also cleaned out a drawer in the kitchen. My coworker is testing my patience and one of these times my mouth will not be filtered. Today she did a lot of sitting and leaving work. Who leaves 5 mins after they start? My friend told me to text or call her the next time and she will make an excuse to show up unannounced. I am working hard to get a great meal to the residents and she's not doing what she's supposed to be doing and she wonders why I go quite. Residents had Salisbury steak patty, sauteed onions and peppers, salad, soup, roasted potatoes, gravy and coconut cream pie. Actually ran out of some things. Note to self make more gravy and sauteed onions and peppers next time.3 -
@Cseguin2 ,,, We've got rain and wind coming in. It's just starting to arrive, tomorrow from 9 AM to 3 PM it'll be at its thing. I didn't have any plans to go out, and LOL I am glad of that! Still I can easily walk inside where I am. EASY to see why they are loving having you there!! YUMMY!! GREAT JOB!! Sure do hope you get your check SOON!! It had taken me a MONTH because we were paid every 2 weeks. So when they missed the first one, yup!! I wasn't as happy that the total of course was higher so were the taxes! YO! ! But, I got them back at tax time.
@Tabatha_Cain, do you have any family/friends you wish to visit? or a lovely ME WEEKEND? Ahhh soaking in a nice tub (LOL After the cleaning of the bath room), music going, maybe a glass of wine? Or a shopping trip? Or reading what you want, staying in jammies? LOL I glance down, that's ME right now! LOL! Glad BF Dr has ordered the coloscopy.
@Patti241 ,,, That was so kind of you to help your friend!! That's very nice!
@Cormierannie, so many areas need rain. To bad it can't be shared around huh?
@Bookienj,,, THANKS!! Yes she is. Hope your friend comes back full so many fun stories that you both laugh and laugh having a GRAND TIME!! So many do not have what we do, I feel for them.
@Kurtize ,,, It was an okay day. Not by good by the physical stuff, but a friend came over to clean. I worked on a painting I am doing. I LOVE it from a distance, but not so much close up. LOLOL This will be my 3rd redoing parts of it, but that's a part of why painting is so much fun. If we do not like it we get a REDO!! Same with our taking care of ourselves, it's progress, not perfection. On the Positively Strong 4 Life team, we adopted the lion as our animal, so we really say "Progress NOT PURRFECTION. Love it,, that has Izzy's approval.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good day. We have date night tonight after work. We are meeting in Wayland to go to a restaurant. My BF best friend is moving to North Carolina and this is his farewell party. So here is hoping that it goes well. I have not had a chance to meet the best friend yet. So I will meet him tonight. I am nervous.
@cormierannie - We actually got sleet yesterday. I am not looking forward to any snow or anything. It is too soon for that stuff.
@bookieNJ - Sorry your friend has not texted.
@Kurtize - Hope your day goes well.
@CSEGUIN2 - I am sorry your co worker is not helping like they should. At least your friend will be there for you should you need the help. Salisbury Steak is so good
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I am actually going to go visit my daughter Saturday. Then when I get home from there I plan to finish the weekend with me time. I am looking forward to it.
Well it is time to get ready for some breakfast. Have a great day.
Tabatha2 -
DianeL Yup. I think I am coming down with a cold.2
-
Enjoy your weekend and what ever you have planned, have fun, be yourself and all will be ok. I am headed out to get my 2nd booster shot for covid, the experts say it will be a hard winter for covid, it likes cold weather so mask back on in populated areas and hand sanitzer when using bank machines, self serve, busses and what have you.2 -
good morning everyone! it is a windy day here today. there was some rain earlier this morning. it has stopped now. my daughter says hi to all. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i did my strength training workout this morning and i really enjoyed it. i went for a walk a while ago and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing after supper. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.1
-
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, OH Where do you live? It IS early for sleet!! I hope the meal went well and you all had a really good time!! ENJOY Saturday with your dear D!! Ohhh and the rest of the ME TIME!! WOOHOO!!!
@Patti241,,, I drink pomegranate juice when I feel a cold starting to come on. An 8 oz glass (if you do not like it, add some seltzer water or sparkling water, even plain water, ginger ale, LOL something to it) than drink 2 more 8 ozs glasses (if you realized it when you woke up) through the day. This ALWAYS makes the cold either NOT happen or it's much easier to handle. Please take care.
@Lindiemaep ,, what a pretty bird that is!!! SO CUTE!! Hope your arm isn't sore, and well if it is, it's a lot better than being really sick. Since my cousin H died this past spring from Covid (wasn't even the Delta virus, AND he was Healthy!! He was a marathon runner!) I look at it as more than the nuisance I want it to only be. Stay safe!!
@Cormierannie,, Its been raining here all day, should come to an end soon, also windy, right now 55,000 are without electricity, LOL I am NOT one of them!! The people across the street were for about 4 hours. Hope the rest of your day was WONDERFUL!!!2 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today started out chilly but warmed a little. We are also having some wind. Fall is back. Studied, went for my walk, did dishes, laundry and cleaned out another kitchen drawer. Also walked to and from the grocery store. I am enjoying getting things done on my days off. Hoping to get some meals made up so I don't have to cook after work during the week.2 -
Good evening all. Hope you all had a good Friday, I woke up stiff, was going to do some more cleaning but after moving a bit, legs shook and hip hurt so just said the heck with it. @Dianedoessmiles1, Positive for life team is that here on my pal or another website, sounds good and motivating. Right now I need all the help I can get. I find myself getting depressed being somewhat immobile. Tuesday is my MRI and I am praying for answers, no matter what. A good quote for me:
"When you feel like quitting, think why you started". Anonymous

@Cseguin2,,, We also got wind. I enjoy wind though so long as it's not destructive, for some it was today. I am fine though, across the street it wasn't, but no major damage. Glad you got so much done!! GOOD JOB!!!
@Kurtize ,,, OUCH OUCH OUCH!! SO SORRY you are in such pain. HOPEFULLY on Tuesday they'll get some answers that'll help you out. The Positively Strong 4 Life team/group is one of the 8 teams of the 5% challenge. Many of us are from Sparks and we were the Spirited Under Dawg team there. Well about 1/2 of us are. Isn't it so exciting how many have joined the 5% That are from MFP? I love watching our numbers go UP!!! For more support for each of us needs it, the team chat is great. We know on a few teams their team chat isn't that busy, it's amazing how even 1 or 2 members can change that. Its always fun to see you all here, I enjoy getting to know others.
I was HOPING to hear the results from the test I did on the 4th with my breathing. Since it seems everyone is now running to the Dr's that avoided them, and of course many left the medical profession during covid (choice or not), I can't see the breathing Dr. again until,,,,,, Dec or even March!! It's foolish to be like this, and not have an answer or help.3 -
Isn't the medical field so sad right now ? I have great compassion for those in the medical field that have taken the brunt of the covid pandemic to the point of exhaustion and no wonder they quit when they are the blame of everything. No one should be degraded at any point in their career, medical or other wise I have to remind myself of that constantly because other wise I might be protesting with the protesters. If you think it is bad there, in the East Coast of Canada many do not have a family doctor and one doctor has a waiting list with 1600 people on it ... that's how bad it is. Yesterday a friend helped a woman who had fallen on her knees then fell back and hit her head. My friend called the ambulance and it took 2 hours for one to show up. What did show up was a mini ambulance of one woman who could not even get the injured woman up on her feet and into the ambulance. I am sure you all have your own stories as well. Covid actually opened the eyes of many to the need at this time. Who wants to go into a profession where they are kicked, stabbed, punched, and then sued ... not me ... Best I stay home and stay healthy. One day .... smiling ... one day ...
I got my covid and flu shot today. I hesitated as I am an introvert and seldom go out and never in crowds if I can get away with it. However, I do volunteer work and have a son who's immune system is compromised with MS so I pulled up my big girl panties and rolled up my sleeves. Let me tell ya the arms HURT ... but as long as I am protecting people it's worth the hurt. That is just my opinion and for me. Each of us have to make our own decisions.
@Dianedoessmiles1 pray contantly ... eh ... you never know when there will be a cancellation that you can go to.
@Kurtize oh I do hope all goes well with your test and you get answers. My hip flexor hurts even to lay on that side . Someone suggested frankensence oil have not found any anywhere. Right now it is advil at night with tylenol arthritise and I tell myself it could be worse ...
@Tabatha_Cain do enjoy your girls weekend and have fun doing what ever you have planned.
@Pattie241 hope your not coming down with a cold, have you recently turned on your heat? Mine makes my mouth so dry it is not funny. So I have a 1 litre yogurt container full of water that I put on the heat vent .. seems to help.
@everyone have a wonderful day tomorrow - what ever you have planned, enjoy it ...3 -
I got caught up with all the posts--even if I read them pretty fast. Love all the haircuts. Don't like to hear that some are under the weather. Love hearing people had a good week. And I rejoice with those who like the cold weather coming in (and snow) and suffer with those that wish summer/autumn can be year round.
One tired puppy. When I first got Billie, she would try to keep up with the "mule" and would keep up at 13 mph. Those days are over. By the time we went up the hill for the last time today, I drove at 3 mph. Finally, she and I took a walk to a deserted little corner near our cottage. She has my heart.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well and are looking forward to a good weekend. This weekend is going to be a good one. Do you have any plans for this weekend? I am going to see my daughter today and then I have a meeting tonight at 6. Then tomorrow I am going to my mothers to pick up a couple of things.
@macrat12 - What truck are you going to be unloading?
@Patti241 - I hope you feel better soon
@LindieMaeP - We are definitely going to have to do something for the winter. Hope it isn't too terribly bad.
@cormierannie - It has been a couple days since it rained here so we are good there.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I live in Southwest Michigan. Battle Creek to be exact. It was definitely sleet that happened the other day. It seems too soon but who knows. Sorry you don't have an answer for your breathing problems yet.
@CSEGUIN2 - It warmed up a bit today too. Not much though.
@Kurtize - I am sorry you are feeling depressed. I get feeling that way due to immobility. Not being able to move around stinks. I hope the MRI has some answers for you.
@NovemberGail - I love the snow just hate the cold that comes with it. I will adjust though. Billie is a cute dog.
Well it is time to get breakfast around. I hope you have a great day.
Tabatha3 -
Lindie: I hope I do not have a cold either.
Tabatha: thank you2 -

Happy Saturday, hope you are all having a great day.

Diane hope your breathing is betters, it's sad how long we have to wait to see drs. or get tests done.
NovemberGail, Billie is precious, is he a beagle?

Hugs and blessings all, Joyce

Good Morning Airport Friends:
Today I am raking leaves outside. I have a lot I have to get done and then things that I want to start doing. I have to be at a public place at a certain time today to give someone some things they purchased from me, I have to be at my mom's to get more venison meat and then I also want to get the floor mudded and get the door handle into my bedroom door. All things we are doing to improve the house so that when I go to sell it I can sell it for a little more than It would normally go for.
@macrat12 - That is a lot of cases. I remember unloading merchandise trucks at my long time ago job. I loved it but I like what I do now better.
@cormierannie - I can actually see the sun today. Great day for yardwork.
@Kurtize - I do sometimes. My back and legs are sometimes but my wrist is all the time. I had surgery on my write to repair a torn ligament and ever since it doesn't bend right so I cannot do push ups with out pain or anything that requires me to put weigh on my wrists. Due to my back issues I can't due sit ups anymore. I just don't have the strength and things hurt when I try. My legs also randomly go numb while I am sitting down or standing up for too long.
Well it is time for me to get breakfast ready. I hope you have a great day.
Tabatha3 -
Kurtzie: I am feeling a little better today.2
-
Good Sunday Morning! ALL!
@Kurtize: Yes, Billie is a beagle and yesterday she thought she was a sphinx.
May you enjoy this autumn day of grace wherever you are!
Tabatha, I hope you get your to do list done. Doing things to improve the house is a smart move. I've been told it's all about presentation -- candles, simplicity, etc.

Good Evening Everyone!
Have read through all the posts. Hugs and prayers to all who want them.
Yesterday and today have been busy. Things ended up getting moved around between the days. Other things got skipped. Why? You might ask. Well I ended up getting called in for work yesterday for 11 am. Had to serve the meal the other cook had prepared. Was not great. Wish I would've had time to fix it. They had a choice of multiple deserts, served with cream of mushroom soup, hot dogs and coleslaw. For dinner I served mushroom soup, chicken quarters baked, scalloped potatoes, corn and rice Krispy squares. Really enjoyed working with a different coworker that actually does their job. Didn't have to work today as the one I replaced yesterday surprisingly felt better after a few hours and called and informed the manager. So today was move air conditioner to storage and bring back the Halloween decorations. Thank goodness my friend is so flexible as she gives me the ride. Also made cabbage soup, did dishes and laundry. All things that was supposed to be done yesterday. Got my kitchen back to the winter format Wich means moving the freezer from the bedroom to the kitchen. Greatful my Son came after he got done work to help and cook dinner. He left after lunch today.1 -
Good evening everyone, I hope your evening went well and you got all you wanted accomplished. I did my volunteer work this morning and then had the family picnic at a local park near my daughter's neighbourhood. We played a game called DIXIT. very interesting game but never won and I was ok with that. Helped my granddaughter with a tree assignment for her course - well she had to take pictures of them and their bark and take a picture of herself near one of the trees. She was said because a new baby tree is dying from the drought - no water from rain, and the soil is very parched. No idea when we will get rain but there is dew now so that will help some what. I wanted to pour some water on it from water I boght but she said it would not help it.
@Tabatha_Cain, I hope all went well when you went to meet someone for the items they were buying and you got your venison and your floor muddied. I have family near your area, but they are in Detroit. A long time ago my cousins used to live in Allen Park area. but no idea where they are today.
@macrat12 thanks for the recipe, I might try it sometime.
@NovemberGail ahh your Billie is so cute!
@Cseguin2 I hope you do not get called into work on a regular basis, unless of course you do not mind, you make some really good meals, can you cook for me LOL I can't really cook, I just throw things together and hope it tasts ok with Mrs Dash lol Glag you got things done and the freezer moved into the kitchen and the air conditioner put away.2 -
@Lindiemaep ,, Glad you feel better today (just saw the update on the news feed). And that you had the picnic!! WOOHOO!!! Indeed people felt so FREE to assault nurses!! When I was in the ER in May I heard the guy do it!! He hit her so hard!! It was horrific!! WHY did he hit her? "I WANT PAIN MEDS!" He wasn't hurt enough for them. OH MY!! She had to come right into my room my heart was racing to much, the machine was beeping with a red light. She made an adjustment to the IV, it calmed right down. I asked her if she was okay (she was facing away from me) I could see that made her fight to keep from crying. I told her I had heard him, how much I appreciate ALL She does for us. She thanked and thanked me. Indeed common sense and courtesy has gone out the window. I am so happy when I was in the ER in Sept they now have a sign that says "If your conduct is not respectful and it's not a dire emergency we may remove you from this hospital." AND THEY DID!! I watched the security guards one on each side of this guy still in a hospital johnny, get escorted OUT!! The place was pretty packed, you could see almost everyone had a smirk on their faces, a few fear (I wonder if they had planned on "acting out" to get what they wanted?) as they did so. ALL of them should be able to do this. Of course the medical profession knows if it's head injury they will act up and out, but that's because they have a head injury of which the behavior is actually a symptom.
@Novembergail,, we are HOPING YOU'LL RUN BACK HOME at the end of the challenge!! LOL Gail and I have been on the same team for the most part since she found the 5% on Sparkpeople. How many years has it been? Awww we also MISS BILLIE!! LOL Billie often has us all laughing so hard, though you may be pulling your hair out at times. Billie is a story dog for sure!!! YOU KNOW I am one of the SNOW PEOPLE!! WOOHOO!!
@Tabatha_Cain ,, Awww TY TY TY I hope I do soon but if it all comes back negative that is the answer he's leaning towards ,, though there may more than one thing going on. If there's more than 1 that may show up. Who knows!!! How did go with your D? Did you both have a good time? I want to see my GD again soon, YO that woman is so super busy now, and of course my GGS is now in school, though not yet full time. He's in Pre K. I'm not sure when her next vaca is, but Grandma needs some TIME!! HOWEVER WE ALL Know when the kids are young and in a split family time is always so short, so Grandma can wait (LOL MAYBE???). I have a few things up for sale also. What do you use to advertise on? I am finding more and more some will say they'll show up but they do not. I think I'm about done with it. It used to pay off.
@Patti241,, are you feeling better?
@Cormierannie,,,, HI Annie!! Hey great job!
@Kurtize,,, THANKS!! Today noticing BP is also quite low,,, that is no doubt contributing to the BLAHHH feeling. I see my regular Dr Tuesday, but will call my cardiologist tomorrow. I am pretty sure it's a med I am on that just needs to be adjusted. That may also resolve a few heart changes I am feeling. I HOPE SO!! I just had a workup and had no changes. Hope your weekend went fantastically AMAZING!! Have they been able to tell why you are in the pain you are in?
@Macrat12 ,,, did you like the dip? Did you alter it at all or make it as its written?
@Cesguin2 ,, OH NO DOUBT where you work is so grateful you are working there!! How many people live there? I was a supervisor at the large grocery store many years ago that I also worked during covid. I LOVED those who were flexible as you are. IN TURN I went WAY out of my way if they wanted time off. They were my highest priority and my supervisors also for being so good to me. I'd change around the schedule last second if any of them wanted that too. I hope where you are they realize they STRUCK GOLD!! Hmmm yeah these ones I had a say on their pay raise,,, and I'd easily ask for it to be higher. Often that was paid attention to. If you want your excellent help to stay you have to pay them to stay.
Yesterday wasn't my best day. Today I feel slightly stronger, but still not well. I knew you'd all understand if I missed a day. You are all so good!! TY TY TY TY!! Greatly appreciated!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you all had a good weekend. My weekend went well. Saturday I went and visited my daughter for a couple of hours and then Sunday I worked on my hardwood floor in my bedroom filling in the cracks with wood filler. It is an old old floor. I just tore up the carpet 3 months ago so now I am getting it ready to be shined and like new. I raked the leaves outside in my front and back yard. I went grocery shopping and did some laundry and went to meet people who bought things from me. So all in all it was a very productive weekend.
@NovemberGail - Right now we are getting the hardwood all set in the master bedroom. We tore out the carpet and 3 layers of linoleum to find beautiful hard wood flooring that needs some love and care. So now just working on that getting it to look all shiny and beautiful.
@CSEGUIN2 - You did a lot this weekend. I am glad your friend was flexible. Sounds like your friend is really nice. It was nice to hear your son came over and helped you a bit at home.
@LindieMaeP - It sounds like you had a great weekend. Your granddaughter sounds very smart. I did get the floor partially mudded. So there is that. We are working in sections. I also go the leaves raked outside, a load of laundry done, got the venison and went grocery shopping. This weekend was really productive.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I use Facebook to advertise. I am on a Facebook auction site I have been using. I also use Facebook market place. My time with my daughter went really well. We spent a couple of hours together.
Well it is time for me to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.
