Well, I got chasing dust bunnies this afternoon, and got the livingroom window area tidies up - still some to do but with that useless bike in the way, hard to navigate and NOT fall so I did what I could for now. We have those ugly blinds - they are dust bunnie playgrounds, I hate them wiht a passion, those thin, white ugly blinds, I wish they would put real curtains back up - ugh - now to clean those they have to be done in sections. Imagine having to do 4 sets of blinds, and one of the sets being 2 x the size of the other 3 .... I hate those blinds ... I've tried using an old sock and then bounce sheet - suppose to be easier for next clean job NONONO... did I say I hate those blinds ?? can't throw those suckers in the washer and dryer..... you know what my spring cleaning will be.
@Dianedoessmiles1 his missed the lab but then we went to Superstore to get his bread and luncheon meat for the week, plus I looked for the silicone ware for the air fryer so I am not always having to wash out the basket - it's a huge basiket - I found some things but not what I wanted. Gene has been using aluminum foil things for his food but I dont' like aluminum foil for cooking.... like I hate those blinds !!! I'll keep looking, might have to ask my daughter where she got hers... won't be at a dollar store, can tell ya that! Do you cook with silicone at all? Glad you enjoyed your hamburger - I woulda got one and ate it in the car BEFORE moving on ... lol plus for the fries I turn the oven on a bit and warm them up. If they are fresh they aren't getting cold fast here anyway. There is a sunset happening but no doubt No river time for me today to get pics... that's ok, there will be another one. Glad you enjoyed your morning. Your welcome, I tried to look for a link but knew iether you or another leader would have it.
I am gonna go and listen to morning worship on Sarah, man that is a good morning worship!!2 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I haven't heard if I have passed or failed my certificate yet. My Son is doing better for now but with mental illness that doesn't mean it won't happen again and you never know when it will happen again. The system is sooooo overwhelmed that I am sure he isn't getting all the care he truly needs.
Yesterday was a busy day. Exercised in the morning. Went with my Son, Sister and Brother-in-law to visit Mom's resting place. Found out my Sister had a flat tire as we were about to leave. As I was already in the car not sure how bad it was. But they were arguing about it and decided to drive to the nearest gas station to pump it up instead of putting the spare on as my Sister wanted. It was starting to upset my Son. Told them to knock it off and gave my Brother-in-law strict instructions that his job was to keep an eye on the tire and let my Sister concentrate on driving. Then we went to the party where I had a blast for the most part. Found out that my friend was called back to work by the new company on Wednesday and starts this week. Everyone else knew but me. That hurt but I will not say anything to her about it. I am glad she got the call.
Today went a little different than planned. Went to Church no snow. Went to coffee hour after Church and there was snow on the ground. Had been snowing all day. Shoveled and salted our property and my clients. After that it was rest for me. Back at my scheduled exercise tomorrow.1 -
Happy Sunday! A very winter-like day that looked like it was going to snow but will hold out for another day or three. We may get 3 to 5 inches Wednesday. I wouldn't mind a heavy snow for photos and to help fill out Lake Osage. (She's really a pond but we don't tell her that. She believes she is a lake.)
I am doing something a little different for exercise. The Boot Scoot Boogie always fascinated me so I am looking at videos on-line and trying to learn how to line dance. My animals are looking at me like I finally "lost it." If people were observing me, they probably wouldn't recognize the dance. But I am having a blast.
@Dianedoessmiles1: Glad to hear you are preparing for Cribbage. You need to keep that trophy and the privileges! I'll be rooting for you.
@LindieMaeP: I looked up how many calories are burned by chasing dust bunnies. They didn't have that category under exercises. Maybe that goes under light housework. 🤣
@Tabatha_Cain: Girl, you are going through a lot. The wedding plans may not seem stressful but the pressure losing weight for the big day can be. Steady as you go.
@Patti241: I liked all the suggestions that Diane offered as things to do. I also have a desire to nibble more when I am cold.
@CSEGUIN2: Be gentle with yourself these days. Infections are so very tiring.

@Lindiemaep ,,, for the mini blinds have you tried a small dustpan and broom (Of course the brush part of that combo)? The bristles are small enough and yet enough of them that they get into the slats easily. If you like things are a lower cost I think?? You can find them here, and likely many other types of soft bristle type of brushes that'll work. Unless of course you are looking for something that'll stretch up high, but isn't that what Gene is for? 🤣🤣🤣 My air fryer is very easy to clean so I do not mind doing the basket. I'm sure Gene won't do this, but the moment I empty the food into my plate, I put the part of the air fryer right into the sink fill it with water and Dawn. SUPER easy to clean when I am done cooking. LOL Even when I make a huge mess!!! Enjoy the video!! I SURE did.
@Cseguin2,,, The mental health system is so broken!! So very very broken!! I'm so sorry your S goes through this and so of course the rest of you do. We always a can of "fix a flat" in the car. Sure it can ruin the tire, but if we aren't around here it's a quick solution. Our tires are very good and we only travel LOLOL 1 to 2,000 YES thousand miles a year IF THAT!! Most places we go are within 1 to 7 miles each way. Its the city. I am hoping your friend is waiting to hear if you have the certificate, she may be trying to get you in there also. But, if you need to be certified or if you are and it'll increase your pay,,, she may not of said anything yet. Or she's just so very uncomfortable mentioning it. It's not an easy position for her to be in or for you.
@Novembergail ,,, LOL THIS GAME is going to KILL ME!! I had picked my teams last week, and if the 49ers win,, WOOHOO ALL 4 PICKED RIGHT!! LAST 6 seconds to go!!
OH FUN Gail to do the line dancing!! I had wanted to learn at one point. FOOLISH foot now breaks every time I try something that puts any extra pressure of it, but if it didn't I'd be JOINING YOU!!! HAVE FUN with it!! As you are! That's ALL that counts!! Awwww TY TY TY TY for cheering me on with Cribbage the first 2 times are for those who need to learn, and I am always happy to give newbies hints to play well. Oh, I DO NOT DO THAT with those who play well enough though!! Those mushrooms are AMAZING!!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and it is time to get back to work for the week. I really enjoyed my time at my second job. It was great.
@LindieMaeP - My shift was a good one. I love working there so far. It is nice.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - That is true. I am having some good cravings. I seem to want to just eat everything.
@CSEGUIN2 - Hopefully you find out if you passed your test soon. I am sorry you were not told your friend was going back to work. Hopefully you get a job soon.
@NovemberGail - That is always good that you are having a blast. Don't worry about what it looks like. It isn't really that bad. I have been working on my weight loss goal since 2019. So this isn't anything new. I am use to losing weight and I love seeing the scale go down and the clothes get bigger on me.
Well it is time to get something to eat. I hope you all have a great day.
Tabatha2 -
Diane: I crochet and read. Starting today I will be going to Planet Fitness and start to work out.2
-
Good morning. I am back from my trip and ready to get serious about my fitness. This past year I have slowly come to realize that just trying to drop weight is not working for me. I need to change my focus to being healthier and in better physical shape. I know that by doing this the weight will drop.2

Made itto the gym 4 days last week. Missed yesterday but went to church - yes I could of done both but had to finish putting away Christmas dishes. Back at it today. A little disappointed in the scale- gained a pound from yesterday-I know it will come back off but don’t like to see the scale go in that direction. Really working on eating slower. It is hard habit to break. Hope everyone has a great week!!3
-
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, So happy you are enjoying the 2nd job! That's GREAT!! Do you track our food? If so are you getting enough protein and fiber? They help us to be fuller longer. Or under stress? Sometimes my cravings are also because I am low in a nutrition I need.
@Patti241,,, WOOHOO Patti!! WTG!! How did the gym go?
@Majork29 ,,, WB!! Hope you had a fantastic time!! Many of us are more focused on our health, by doing so some do lose more weight, but WOOHOO almost all are saying the same thing even if they do not lose weight or not much weight "My muscles are tightening up, I have a lot more energy." And dropping clothing sizes!! Nice decision!!
@Macrat12 ,, HI Sarah. Nice job.
@tslose ,,,, Nice job on making it to the gym 4 times last week!! Yesterday you may of had more sodium then your usual which can cause the weight to go up. I DO LOVE weighing in daily (LOL Often many times a day cause I LOVE numbers and find it very motivating. Today it helped me to redo my plan for the day). Eating slower is such a help to know when we are starting to get full without being to full. I also find and I do not know if I am strange (LOLOL well in some ways!) but if i stand up thinking "I am still hungry!" after eating my usual amount, when I stand up I realize "no I am actually full!" I do like the PAUSE this week, it'll help me even more so.
At noon we had 10"s of snow from last night and we could end up with a foot, it'll be done in about 2 plus hours. I'd LOVE to go out tonight and clean off the car, but I ALSO LOVE being warm!! LOL!! The wind is pretty strong right now. LOL we know I'll probably wait some.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Still no word about my certificate.
I get my friend feeling awkward about telling me. I know that it wasn't her doing. She was actually looking forward to the time off. I am happy they called her back and know she will make the right decision for her and I will support whatever she decides.
Today has been cloudy. Slept in and then got up and worked out, did some dishes, did laundry, and played cards with Hubby. Still need to get some studying done for my schooling. Tomorrow is weigh and TOPS. I get to play roll of Leader this week as the Leader will not be there.0 -
Good afternoon and happy Monday. WTG @NovemberGail for picking all teams. @CSEGUIN2 hope you hear about your certificate soon. Sadly our mental health care is broken and has been for years. My nephew was schizophrenia and bipolar. He never got the help he needed. When he was 30 committed suicide, my sister never really got over that. We need to bring back some of the help and hospitals to help people that suffer from various mental disorders. It is cold here and supposed to be all week, in high 40's (I know some of you are colder than that). I signed up on a new app I got from my supplement insurance company UnitedHealth care, its called Kaia, anyone can sign up and pay but apparently a number of insurance companies cover it. They help with exercises if you are struggling with pain and other things. So going to try it. Other than that nothing else new. Hugs and blessings, Joyce

@Cseguin2,, I can see why your friend(s) value you so much. You are so kind hearted wanting the best for others. HANG ON because good things come to those who have to wait longer. Have FUN being a leader tomorrow at the meeting!! We got a foot of snow today. Hehehehe you ALL KNOW I AM LOVING THIS!! Tomorrow when I go out I'll take some gorgeous pics!!
@Kurtize ,,, Indeed the mental health system is so very broken. SO VERY SORRY about your nephew. I only had 2 nephews, one also committed suicide when he had just turned 18. It's a hole that can not be covered over in time, it just can't. A long time friend is severely depressed, rarely leaves her place (SIGH I both curse and thank the delivery systems in place) she just sits in there waiting to die of "old age" hmmm she's 62 that's not old. I TRIED to get her help, but they are so overwhelmed. She denies any depression and yet, all the signs are there. I am so happy you have the app and hopefully that'll help with the pain you are in. That'll be so ROARSOME!! The snow LOL Just stopped as I looked out my window1 -

@Lindiemaep ,,, HI Linda!! Enjoy the night kiddo!!! SLEEP WELL!!1

@Kurtize: 🤣I wished I had picked all four teams but that was Diane that managed that feat. I'm rooting for Kansas City. Love their quarterback.
Now I'm calling it a night. Just ending the day with tomorrow's word for the day:
INSPIRATION
1 -
@Novembergail and here are this coming weeks pick!
MANY of us are rooting for the Chiefs!! WOOHOO!! We'll see how it goes and during the weekend Mahomes was pretty hurt. His back up Chad Henne did an okay job though. I sort of doubt Mahomes will be able to play safely. Its his right ankle and of course, he first tried to keep on playing thus injuring it more so. It was so PAINFUL TO SEE!!
NEAT Picture!
UPDATE on the 3D puzzle I am making of the Titanic! Its so much fun doing this!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all having a good morning. Today is the last day off of my second job. Starting tomorrow I work both jobs 3 days in a row. That is going to be tiring, but I will make some decent money. I am looking forward to it and learning new things. I am glad I get to work a second job. That is definitely going to bring in some more money for the wedding. We are going to try and pay off the venue first and then pay on the DJ and then pay the cake off. Then everything else should be easy. We only need a couple more things and we should get those ordered too. I do want to pay on the venue this next check and then after that order some more supplies. Then pay on the venue and then order supplies. That sort of thing, I think that will make it easier to handle.
@tslose - I completely understand. I love when I am able to get to the gym. I need to do better at eating slower as well.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I do track my food. I know a lot of times I don't eat enough. I should eat a little more because I eat the bare minimum. Sorry you are getting so much snow. Although I am sure it is needed.
@CSEGUIN2 - I need to sleep in. That won't happen this weekend. I have a lot going on this weekend.
@Kurtize - That is great that you signed up for the new insurance. I am glad that it will help you out.
Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Diane: The gym went great. I signed up and started working out. I will be going again tommorrow.2

@Tabatha_Cain,,, WOOHOO on paying things off as fast you can!! Life does happen and we never know what'll change, hopefully always for the best, but its great to have no debts when we can. WOOHOO on liking the 2nd job also!! That's a super plus. LOL I hated working 3 days in a row, as far as physically, but it was great having it all at once, then I had more days off!! YEAH YEAH YEAH TO THAT!
@Patti241 ,, ALRIGHT!! WTG!!!
@Macrat12 how are you?2 -
Good morning, its another rainy day so exercise inside of course in segments and I will try to find some variety. I am ok with not going out in that muck !! I don't mind the rain, I just do not like getting wet from it - but it does make the trees and the grass and what not so nice and green! I hope everyone is having a good day of it.
@Tabatha_Cain sure hope you find some rest periods and that you are not too overly tired when you finish your shift.
@NovemberGail lovely picture again !! Good word for today too !!
@Dianedoessmiles1 where did you get your 3d Titanic ? It was a good ship, built by Irishmen, but no ship can compare or compete with an iceburg!! Tonight I participate in a presentation, the bible study so I am stoked for that. The 1Chronicles 4-6 reading was a bit better and explains a lot too. Hope you enjoy your meeting.
@everyone, I hope you all have a good day today and accomplish what you set out to do!

Hi all happy Tuesday. It is rainy and cold. Dis some light housecleaning, watched TV, did PT and just relaxing and enjoying the rainy day.
When you start your day with gratitude everything falls into place with grace and ease. Gail Lynne Goodwin1 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 -thx! Friday we are waiting for results, Saturday was a no, Sunday she was told she made it but wAiting on financial aid.1

@Dianedoessmiles1 I'm good sometimes I forget to do personals.
Afternoon team, I ended up getting my workout done in the gym before the wintry mix arrived. So plan on writing down my workout for tomorrow so I can get it done during the 1st Phorm livestream at 8AM my time.4 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a beautiful sunny day. More like the first day of spring. Tomorrow the snow storm is coming. I am so lucky to be able to make some cash off the snow. Went to TOPS this morning and found out I gained 4 more lbs. I don't feel like I weigh that much. But something needs to change in my head. Maybe it's time to be hard on myself. I need to get the evening eating under control. For that I am going to try chewing gum. Today turned out to be the harder day to fill in as the leader at TOPS. We had some temper flair and a member walk out. So the rest of the meeting was spent dealing with all that. Filled for Employment Insurance but not sure I qualify. We will see. Also called Hubbies worker to update her on my employment status. Tomorrow is a brand new day with an evening Church service.1 -
@lindiemaep , On Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0819FZ3N7?
I was a HH to talk #1 it was very good. Glad it went well for the both of us! WOOHOO!!!
@Kurtize,,, Sounds like a good day!! UGH sorry it was rainy and cold, but you made use of the day to it's full!
@Bookienj,,, SOUNDS SO EXCITING!! WTG for D and you all!!
@Macrat12 ,,, Oh Sarah it's such a pleasure to have you do a personal with us!! We get to know you more. You have so much to offer to each of us. I LOVE writing out a schedule so that I can get a lot more done. TY TY TY Sarah for sharing with us.
@Cseguin2 ,,, LOVE that you can make extra $$ off the snow!! WTG!! SO SORRY a member at TOPS got upset!! UGH wouldn't you know it, I am so sorry hon!! You are so kind!! I'd be shocked if you don't qualify for unemployment!! It may depend on how long you worked, but I am pretty sure you worked long enough. In essence you were laid off.

Snow is on the horizon tonight. Looking forward to taking photos. Today I got in a lot of walking and a little housework.
Tomorrow's word is Strength.
If I could read Cricket's mind: "If you don't feed me, I will stare you to death."

@Novembergail,,, UGH I forgot which state you are in? WOOHOO ON THE SNOW!!! WOOHOO!! Your pictures are ALWAYS SO GORGEOUS to the MAX!!! LOLOL AND Hmmmmmm Cricket is letting YOU KNOW "FEED ME!" And I first read this I REMEMBERED I had NOT FED Izzy her soft food tonight!! LOL She's such a GOOD GIRL!! She NEVER ever begs for it. You may remember Princess/AKA Princey/AKA Wincey? OH that cat begged horribly!! Its so nice to have a kitty who doesn't beg and beg. EXCEPT once I go into the bedroom at night. Then it's ALL OVER for what I want and LOL ALL about Izzy. Feed me treats ,, feed me treats!! She barely gets any (soft food she only eats about a tablespoon of it she ADORES her hard food though!) and the FEED ME is mixed in with "COMB ME OUT!! COMB ME OUT!!" but, I rewarded with a zillion purrs. Awww Cricket hope you got what you wanted, you are a CUTIE!! HI Billie who must be behaving right now? And Catwissa?1
-
It's almost bedtime but I thought I would stop in for a bit to unwind as well.
@Dianedoessmiles1 thanks, I might pass - I was thinking for Gene to give him something to do, I have lots to do lol when I remember lol It turns out he is Vitamind3 deficient and the doctor prescribed him V3 in pill form and wants him taking 1000 uic (???) 2 x a day.
@CSEGUIN2 It's unfortunate that there was issues at the Tops meeting, I am sure that you will provide a good night's report including the issues that occourred to the one who is normally the lead. The weight will come off again, and maybe too much salt? hard to say. EI is based on insurable earnings in the qualifying period. A first time user needs the full amount of hours needed - that changes for each province, I am not sure what the rates are now adays but you should be able to look it up on the website. Also if one has a business that has to be looked at as well. You applied that was the right thing to do. I know here in BC training is done by the province, not sure of Ontario but you can look into sponcered training IF you have an and EI claim that paid out in the last 3 years. Of course Covid may have put a monkey wrench in both hours required and sponcered training. You can call Service Canada, best time to call - around 4 pm your time. An agent can answer any questions you may have. I hope all goes well for you.
@NovemberGail awwww did someone get fed ?? LOL1
