It is chilly out this morning.3 -
@Kurtize : that's a great haircut! you look amazing!
good morning everyone! it is a beautiful mild day here today. my daughter says hi to all. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i went for a short run this morning and i 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.2 -
If your plane has landed I hope you are enjoying Victoria on the island of Victoria! Did you experience tea at the tearoom? Did you tour the museum(s) or have a horse and buggy ride around the area? Have you experienced fish and chips ? lol I know I experience the later - museum, horse and buggy ride and fish and chips!
Here are some shots of what I saw at the museum when I went. Of course living in Vancouver, there were 2 ways to get to Victoria, by plane or ferry and we went as a family by ferry. It was a great day and the weather was phenominal for the ferry there and back! Enjoy the pics, which are also in blogs I have posted on MFP..
When we visited, the Viking display was on including a Viking Village and an area for the viking fighting, the equipment they used and their tecniques - quite interesting.
@Tabatha_Cain, hope your BF gets some good guidance from his doctor and all is well from that point on. Interesting that your boss is giving you full control, I would caution as if something goes wrong, you may be the one it falls on - do you keep a daily journal? It might be worth while to keep one. Just experience on my part speaking, I used to work in Employment Insurance with Service Canada here in Canada and I have seen many situations but will not go into detail. I am thankfully retired and enjoy life now more then ever!
@Patti241 hope you have another good day today too eh !!
@cormierannie glad the birdies are doing ok and your daughter enjoys school as well as her part time job. Enjoy your day and your dancing too !
I need to go make some stir-fry for the next couple of days so I best get at it !!

@CSEGUIN2 -aw he's so cute...love the outfit.
@Dianedoessmiles1 -that sounds delicious! Glad I'm not hungry
@majork29 -aw I hope her anxiety is ok now. Anxiety is no fun3 -
Happy Wednesday. Linda I like your hair cut, looks great on you and you have a handsome son.
Cleaned the bathrooms today, trying to clean a little each day but have to admit there are days I just don't want to move. Hope to get out of this funk soon.
Have a great rest of the day.

Lindiemaep ,,, Nice cut I agree!! Easy to take care of also. NICE Pics also of Victoria, we have landed our plane. We did so on Monday night. I was able to visit a Viking Museum in Norway (Country) that was so cool!! Now there IS A NORWAY, Maine, but LOLOLOL it's nothing like what I saw!
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, I sure hope that your BF issue resolves itself!! OUCH on the previous surgery!! That had to of hurt. REALLY HURT!
@Majork29,, Oh I hope your D will be okay. I helped to raise my GD (Age 11 up she was 99% of the time with me) as a teen she went through so much anxiety plus more. We did get her a lot of help, it did mean taking her to the ER (which freaked her out even more, but I knew it had to be done she needed help immediately). In the end it all worked out much to her benefit. She was able to get help with schooling (classes adjusted, her way of learning it turned out was different then the typical child though she was doing well in school this helped so much more) as well as a therapist at school (she was so angry at the idea "everyone will know!" Came home that day (I expected LOL the slamming doors, the ROLLS of the eyes (I am the master of that though! She thought she could do it nearly as well, but nah, amateur! I offer to show her to really do it and do it very well when she was able to not get upset by it, we burst out into much laughter, but she did improve!) but instead she came in with a SMILE saying "When I got there I was so mad, but I saw a friend of mine was there, and then another joined us, and another! EVERYONE gets help!" She was shocked. I hope your D will be okay. It's so hard, and my heart was shattered when she was going through this. I am glad to say that as an adult she does still struggle at times, but overall she's doing very well. GOOD JOB getting in exercise!! The area up there is GORGEOUS!!
@Patti241 ,,, It was here this AM, but it's warmed up it's 4:45 PM and 61.
@CormierAnnie ,,, Nice that the weather is good out!! A PLUS PLUS!!! ENJOY!!
@Csequin2 ,,, Awww he's a cutie and more!! Glad you had a good day. Family and friends help to enrich our lives very much so. I am sure those you served at work where THRILLED with the food! That too always feels so nice.
@Bookienj,,, LOL I'd share too!! LOVE SHARING! A very dear friend of mine, we both LOVE FOOTBALL will come over as she's well enough to. We've been at this for over 30 years. Her cancer is back again, hopefully this Sunday we can get together. She has no clue I have her favorite beer in the fridge (another friend got it for her). We'll do it up as BIG AS WE CAN!! Likely I'll see if we should keep it to just the 2 of us (though some of my football parties have been so crowded in the past, there was NO PLACE TO SIT!! LOL!!). Normally I'd not pig out, but for her I likely will. I'll make what she wants or we'll do pizza.
@Kurtize,, I get that!! Today I am not feeling that great (to put it mildly!) but like you there are some things I wanted taken care of so I am doing them in tiny bits. My exercise I'm slowly doing, but it's getting done also.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a productive day. Did half my walk as it kept trying to rain and it was to windy for an umbrella. Studied, did dishes and some laundry. The residents got ham, hash brown casserole, cauliflower with cheese sauce, potato and bacon soup and a choice of grape jello, chocolate chip cookies or butterscotch pudding. They really enjoyed the meal. I haven't made much they don't like. Found out today the reason why I didn't get paid yet. They claim the paperwork didn't arrive through the mail on time. So it will be on my next check.3 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good day. This weekend I will be all alone. BF has some things he is going to go do with his friends and his son since it is his son's birthday this weekend. So I will be alone until Sunday. We will see how that goes. Even my son will be gone this weekend. So I will definitely be home by myself.
@majork29 - I hope your daughter got up ok for you and that her anxiety is not so bad today.
@LindieMaeP - Love the photos. I have always been fascinated by the vikings. My boss will usually email me the things we wants me in charge of so I have documentation of him putting me in charge of those things. Thank you for the thought. I am fully documented though.
@Kurtize - I still have to clean my bathroom. I will do that this weekend. That way I can take my time doing it and do it right.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - The doctor is scheduling my BF with a colonoscopy, and told him not to eat things that upset his gut for the time being. So he will stay on the low fiber side of things.
@CSEGUIN2 - I hope they have the paperwork now. They could always issue a check now instead of waiting until next pay period. They just don't want to have to do the extra work.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a wonderful day

Lindie: I had an okay day. I tended to my friend who is sick.
Diane: A cold front is coming through after today. It is raining here now.2 -

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.

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:

@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.
