Good morning everyone.3

Happy Friday~
I woke up to 52 degrees indoors. Outside it is -5 with a windchill of -27 and three inches of snow. Extra heaters were brought in and now the house is beginning to feel balmy. This is certainly an incentive to use my oven for baking. I am thinking of trying @CSEGUIN2, Connie's gingerbread cookie recipe.
I closed off my porch and brought one of the litter boxes inside the house. Hopefully my boys won't complain too much about the inconvenience.
The on-going question of masks is tough, @Tabatha_Cain. This thought came to me during deer season. People in the country encourage everyone who goes out in the woods--even on their own property to wear orange. If you get shot, then it's your own fault. Some of the most stubborn folks who don't want anyone telling them to wear a mask will insist on others wearing orange. 😖. How strange that I don't mind wearing a mask but I hate to wear orange🙄 We are funny creatures.
@DLBEASYRIDER: Dave, great words of wisdom and wonderful videos. You probably heard that the weight took years to put on and will take time to shed. That phrase helped me many a time. It seems whenever I lost weight quickly, the weight would come back with a vengeance.
Outside my porch door this morning.
Today's word responsibility.
Stay safe; stay warm; stay healthy; stay positive; stay kind; and stay put if you can LOL.

A different kind of exercise this morning - walk way clearing - two people who passed by thanked me for clearing the snow, others just looked at me like I was strange - well maybe I am and maybe I am not .. I felt good that I cleared the walks. Yesterday when I went to go get my glasses, an older lady, most likely older then me - and I am older then dirt now - was trudging along on the sidewalks with her two wheel cart so I kept her in mind while doing the walk ways and I did take my time, rest when needed and when it was enough came in and changed, made tea, and got some short bread cookies, chocolate and mandarin minis to enjoy! Gene drove his car to work today, he said it was compact snow and freezing rain mix - good thing he is an "old man" driver LOL I also cleared a way where he will come in at night, but I wish I had salt to put down to take care of that ice ... I only have table salt - and at that not much! I could try it though.
@Tabatha_Cain I hope your fiance's procedure goes well, the prep is sometimes the worst but worth it in the long run. Hopefully after that you all can have a good weekend and enjoy your plans.
@NovemberGail mask wearing is personal choice here, my son wears one at work but no one says anythign to them except those who think he should supply THEM with one, usually the general public. He just says no, it's not
my job ... lol Hope your kitties adjust to the place the litter box is for them. They can be fussy from time to time!
Well my little break is almost over and I've enjoyed my mandarin minis and now to finish the cookies - they are mini too in the shape of a scottish terrier lol and chocolate! Have a good one everyone, and a safe weekend as well. That weather out there is not nice !!!

Hmm I really need to learn how to copy/paste on this laptop. I just am writting the same thing here as I did there and elsewhere..but since I don't know how to copy/paste I have to write it over again..
Good Afternoon Pat...I seem to rarely make it in the morning!!
All the birds are fine ..they got thru the cold snap without any problems. I worry about the hens , mostly cause they are old but my experience with chickens is they are lil heaters that can take the chill. Then there is Jester, out there alone now. I feel sorry for him..but have not been able to find a female duck to replace Yacky yet!! We did put a half bale of straw in his house for him so he has lots of straw to cuddle down in ..not quite the same though. The lil wild birds arrived in larger flocks than I had seen today..I was thinking we might have to set out double feedings for them when the doves arrived. That took care of that , the little birds were gone and the doves cleaned up the feed. There were scraps out so hopefully that supplemented a bit . Our temps are soaring right on up to the low teens!! Wow gonna need sun screen pretty soon !! Supposed to be up to the mid 50's by Sunday .
Feeling pretty spry this AM..so got the Swiffer out to dance with for a while. It didn't like the idea I guess as it wouldn't work!! Ok..so moving on to Mrs Mop..she came out and did a dazzling job of the kitchen floor. I had intended to drag Mr V out too..but by the time we finished in the kitchen my knee was yelling Stop You Idiot!! So I did...as if I had a choice! I do not like having to screech in pain everytime I move my knee..so if I listen when it first yells at me I can often avoid the noise, ( and the pain too!).
I just have to learn to be glad I was able to do as much as I did instead of being irked that I did not get done as much as I wanted to!! Mind set and attitude!!
Wishing all that celebrate various holidays thru this time of year ..the best of days and good year to come. Too many to list each one so just cover it by saying Wishes for Kindness, love and a sense of brotherhood thru this time and may it continue thru the coming year!!
Now time for a hot cuppa, after I let the pups out..temps going down..sun fading behind the mtns!
Have a good evening and enjoy your weekend!!

@Lopeyp
@ALL Please start on MONDAY to look for your INVITE to the 2023 WINTER 5% Challenge for your team. NOT ALL will be out on Monday (Fit Force it'll be Tuesday) for those who signed up for any team (by choice or because their team was already full to those who are new (by choice) your invites will come from Monday on. Why not at the same time? In order for the teams to be evened out they need to be about even with the same chance of landing and at the end of the week to have a chance of having the near the same amount of exercise/LTGL/Weigh in.
HOW DO YOU FIND your invite?
Please look under the lighter blue bar for the COMMUNITY TAB, click on that, afterwards on the darker blue bar, Click on GROUPS. RIGHT there under groups you'll see a blue box which says "NEW GROUPS" AND JUST ABOVE that you'll find your invite!! WOOHOO
SO SORRY I went MIA and may be some through the weekend. I hadn't been feeling well and so the story goes. Its just a part of the life some of us lead on a daily basis. ON THE HUGE PLUS SIDE if I hadn't of lost the weight (120 lbs) I'd very likely either be not here, or much sicker. OH WE KNOW I have to much fun in life, even when not well!! TY TY TY TY for understanding!!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
Well I hope you are all enjoying your morning. We are cold and up moving around. Joe's parents keep the furnace at 69 and that is super cold when the weather is like this. We need to find a way to make ourselves warmer. Mostly our hands and feet are cold but other than that we are ok. We cannot stay in bed all day although that would definitely work for me.
@NovemberGail - It is super cold here too. GIngerbread cookies sound good. It is weird with the mask stuff. I just feel if you are sick please wear a mask or if you have symptoms that could be thought to be covid. Just wear a mask as precaution. You are only being considerate of other people.
@LindieMaeP - I think it is important to clear the walkways of snow. Joe's procedure went went. Glad you were able to take a break. It is important also to get out of the cold and warm up between shoveling snow.
@katiecondy1 - Glad you have learned about warning signs. Getting a warning sign from your knee should be taken seriously. Glad you are listening. We don't want that to get too bad.
Well we just ate breakfast but we do need to finish wrapping a couple of gifts. So I hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Good Morning, Everyone!
The sun came shining through with blue skies. There is just enough snow on the ground to make this a white Christmas.
Hope everyone can find some quiet time amid the hustle and bustle to rejuvenate your spirits.
Words for today are efficiency and (find a word that you need for yourselves today).

Good morning everyone, as I have stated on other chats it is a cold wet rainy day and it will continue to rain for days. I will go out later as I want some hot chocolate for later in the day and I need to go to the post office and get stamps. I usually buy 100 at a time and Costco would be better but Gene is going to his sister's for their Christmas Eve Murder Mystery event and he will be busy. Fine by me I get the house to myself !! I read an interesting article on Eating Disorders and learnt some new things I never knew if your interested here is the link: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/with-eating-disorders-on-the-rise-in-canada-experts-break-down-common-myths-1.6175406
Be sure to open in a new tab/window so you can keep your chat window intact.
@Tabatha_Cain have a wonderful time and getting up and moving will warm you up - you can also put on socks and sweaters to help keep you warm. Step outside for a bit then inside, you will find the warmth of the temp on the inside! lol
@Dianedoessmiles1 I am looking forward to my invite to the new team I selected. don't worry like a bad penny I be back to the lion's den next round. BUT you better take better care of yourself - this is the third beginning of new season that you have been away sick, I be watching and need you to be as healthy as you can. So does Izzy ... give her a pet or two for me. AND a treat!!
I won't post pictures of rain cause you all know what it looks like - and I hear planes taking off and landing all night long and all this morning, so the airport must be clearing their runways pretty good then. Still a mess out there, so be careful all and be safe !!
Happy Caturday !!

Thought of the day:
1 Very Important Holiday Reminder
The best gifts are not to be found wrapped in a box.
They are the ones you wrap in a hug.
Treasure the people who have been there for you no matter what.
Merry Christmas

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all having a good morning. Happy Holidays to those who celebrate some sort of holiday today. I am going to be very busy cooking all day long and well not much time for anything else. We will open presents and then we will have food and then we will play games. This is going to be a good Christmas. I know it is. I can tell. This is my first Christmas with Joe again after 24 years. Last time we were in high school so we really didn't get to spend the whole Christmas together. I don't even remember what I got him for Christmas. I don't even think I was working yet to get him anything. I cannot remember. It is so long ago. So this will be the first time getting him presents that I know of.
@NovemberGail - We have a little more snow on the ground than a dusting, but everything is all still good. We still have our white Christmas.
@LindieMaeP - That is true. Their house is just so cold. Not so at home at all. It is chilly but not their cold. We don't have to layer up at home like we do at Joe's parents house.
Well it is time to get cleaning. I hope you all have a great Christmas.

Merry Christmas 5% challengers!

Merry Christmas 🎄 everyone! It's a cold day here today. My daughter says hello to all. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! One of my good friends is looking after them for me while I am away for the Christmas holidays. I got in a short run earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. When the weather is very cold outside, I do my workouts indoors. I went for a walk a while ago and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing later on. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.
