Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well today. It is Thursday and I work both jobs today. I am really excited to be working Burger King tonight. I like that crew I work with. We will see if they want me to stay on tonight or if they are really slow and want to send me home. They are only working me 1 day a week there right now.
@Catwmncat - I will definitely let them know again today that they can call me in to work when they need someone. I have not had the chat with my boss yet. I am thinking of emailing him and letting him to come to me with a solution. I am just not sure what to say. Glad you were able to figure out how to get on MFP.
@LindieMaeP - I am doing well. The cramping has gone down. Since my periods are not super regular I get a lot of cramping the first couple of days and the last 3 months I have had a migraine on day 1 or 2. I am better now though.
@bookieNJ - He has so much anxiety. This dentist helped though. They did a root canal and a crown on his tooth. He feels a lot better now and is starting to brush regularly so far.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - At this point I am not sure I will ever have a surgery to stop my periods as they are not too bad. Just the first couple of days are miserable.
Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Happy Ground Hog's Day! Yep, Phil saw his shadow.
@Tabatha_Cain: Glad to hear the energy in your post. Cheering you on as you work both jobs.
@Dianedoessmiles1: Good thing I don't bet. I would have surely put money on you in Cribbage--but you still have time before tournaments. (Maybe you are just really giving them a false sense of security that you are beatable. Smart woman).
@macrat12: Never heard of using a weighted vest. That sounds better than a backpack and warmer.
@Patti241: Enjoy your day!

good afternoon everyone! it is a mostly sunny and cool day here today. it is going to be a really cold and windy day here tomorrow. so i am getting my errands done today, so i do not have to go out tomorrow. my daughter says hi to all. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i did go for a short run in the morning and i really enjoyed it. i went for a walk a while ago and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing later on. i am recovering from a cold. today is the first time in a while where i was able to do some exercising. have a great day, everyone! take care and stay safe.2

@Tavatha_Cain,,, I am glad that you're working tonight at Burger King because a lot of fun to work at a place where you enjoy. Easy enough job but add in the fun and yeah it's just fun. I never would have gotten a surgery but I needed to because I had it tomorrow and my ovary. I wish I had had the surgery many moons before that because I get to hate it going through that. Hope the day went very well.
@Patti241,,, Hi Pattyi. Is it going to get real cold down there You know it is up here. That was that after midnight tonight and go until Sunday early morning but by Sunday afternoon it will be back to the average temperature in the 30s.
@Macrat12,,, had to been crazy where you live?
@Novembergail,,, Oh I was not feeling well. I haven't been but I still wanted to go. Thinking it may be more than potassium because my potassium is almost up to it level. I am only .1 but I'm the lowest side of the range and I still don't feel good so maybe something else is going on. Aren't I a whiner? Pretty picture of a bird. Thank you
@Bookienj,,, Any plans this weekend?
@Cormierannie,,, Connie Please take care of this weekend. I think I also have everything all done though unless I want to I don't have to go out until Sunday. Please take care of the cold it's important that you recover before you do a lot of exercise if any.

Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are having a good day of it - I have had a good day too, wanted a pedicure but they did not have time as they had appointments even though no one was in the place but the workers, they wanted me to come back later, and I said thank you, but no I am busy. So maybe another time and another place.
@Tabatha_Cain hope your shift went well and your son did well at the dentist, I have a hard time going and I remind myself I am paying for benefits so I CAN go, but I still have to muster up the courage, I so dislike so many different things, including the scraping and cleaning - the water is too cold and hits my teeth and I am like "scrape me off the ceiling" lol I have an appointment on Feb something to go - and go I shall unless I am sick.
@NovemberGail no ground hog here, in BC another animal does the shadow thing, but I dont' go by that, I go by what nature is showing me and I see lots popping up green and that tells me spring is near - also I watch the buds on the trees that also tells me. Amazing creation !! by an amazing Creator !! I dont' think anyone wants 6 more weeks of winter !! How was your day ?
@Dianedoessmiles1 oh I had such a wonderful suprise this morning, I got to meet up with my Bible Teacher and her son took pics of us and we will sit together at the Convention since they are going to the same one I am going to. Now I just have to figure out how to get there !! Sadly, she suffers from early onset altimers ( I know I spelt that wrong) so I asked her son to put it in his phone that his mom wants to sit with me and I am sure she will have another friend too. How are you feeling this afternoon, well evening for you, better I hope, I know it must get tiring, Gene gets tired of his MS but it won't go away being tired of it.. he is taking VitaminD3 now and his MS doctor told him to take it at night. 50000 - not sure the body can handle tha tmuch but it is a prescription so will see when he gets home and we look at it.
The sun has come out and is shining so maybe a bit of a sunset tonight - I hope it will be a nice one. How is everyone doing with the challenge this week ?

Happy Thursday, today is our daughter Denyse's 56th birthday. My groundhog baby. Have a happy day.
6 more weeks of winter. woo hoo

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was another sunny and cold day but very productive! All workouts done, most of chr has been packed away. Just windows, doors and all the towels to get done. Took Son to his teeth cleaning appointment and did some grocery shopping. Had to take a cab home. Put groceries away, played Wii sports with Hubby. Got some studying for my classes and did some reading for my book club. Boy am I tired. Hopefully that means a good night sleep.2 -
@Lindiemaep,,, OOPS Sorry you couldn't get the pedicure! Neat on meeting up with her!! I am sure that was fun. Have you asked around for a ride to the convention? Do you all stay over or go back and forth? Since ours is in Portland and I live so near by it's very easy to go and come home. Though a FEW Do stay in Portland. They don't want to cook etc. so they try to stay at one of near by hotels. Have you asked around for a ride? Today was a very busy start. Had to go for blood work right off this AM, after that went to a friends house to help her with her Ipad. Now we KNOW I am an ANDRIOD user, but I totally under the Iphone, Ipad, macs easily enough. We got it all taken care of. Then another friend and I took off and did errands. LOL I could not wait to come home and put my feeties up. Later on the person who cleans for me came over. It was so much fun, and it's done for the week. Now I get to RELAX some!! WOOHOO!!!
@Kurtize, it cracks me up that no matter they get, they are still "kids" though at that age likely most do not think so. Hehehehehe!! They said on the news the ground hog thing is only 50% accurate. I pay zero attention to it. SHOOT I can say "6 more weeks of winter" as I just typed without all the fanfare. Hope you enjoyed the day.
@Cseguin2 ,,, Productive day!! Nicely done. Hope S is okay after the dentist. Hopefully you'll get some sleep. Rest up well.3 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 yes I will have to arrange a ride for 3 days, it's 2 hours away - AND all the hotels are now booked, so that is out but I am ok, cause I LIKE my BED better lol AND we can stop to eat on the way home to avoid traffic snarls - Last time it was suppose to be there, COVID hit and cancelled it all it was streamed !! But I am looking forward to it, you got a lot done, sorry you had to "work" on an Iphone/Ipad etc LOL YOU FUNNY GURL !!
Here's my sign of spring - I just walk to the local park and see what's shooting up from the ground, and so do the robins, they be looking for food and in the 2nd picture, he GOT the WORM !! LOL boy he gobbled that down no hara hachi bu for him LOL Have a good night everyone !!

Another day closes. The last two Thursdays when I cooked, I really enjoyed myself. WOW!!! It was just hamburgers and fruit and tasted quite good!
The word for tomorrow is fortitude.
Good Night, all.2 -
@Lindmaep ,, if you are having a hard time finding a ride please talk to your group overseer. They'll be happy to help arrange it for you. There is a BONUS on eating on the way home,, and CRASHING OUT!! Indeed!! My body won't allow that any more, but it was fun when we did the 1 day down and back, I can't imagine doing that 3 times. I'll be no doubt streaming most of it. I am HOPING to go 1 or 2 days or part days. I do not think I'll do well at all sitting ,, my feet will look like basketballs! It'll put me more at risk. The infection did not leave in my feet. I have an appointment with the foot Dr on the 14th who will either do a surgery (I DOUBT HE WILL) or he'll not, and I go back to Infectious disease. WOW SPRING ALREADY??? GF it's ONLY FEBRUARY!! Our temps when I wake up (AIR TEMP) will be 4 F,,, but by the afternoon it'll be -5 and going down during the night to -14 with the wind chill on Friday we'll remain below 0 and down to probably -20 or so F and Sat AM we are told -35 to -35 in Portland which be for those around the Greater Portland area also. I AM HOPING TO SEE SEA SMOKE!! BUT!! I was reminded tonight,, SIGH that the wind will be to strong so probably not. You can't have a wind over 10 MPH for it.
@Novembergail,, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that you are COOKING!! I've learned so much watching cooking EASY videos at first, now I am pretty confident I can cook about most things,, will I? I DOUBT IT!! BUT I CAN!! Imagine if we got together the things we'd DO!!4 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good day. It is Friday and I get to wear jeans at work today. I am super excited. I love being able to wear jeans and tennis shoes at work. Although today it might be boots. It is not suppose to snow though so who knows.
@NovemberGail - Thank you. I do love both jobs. I have fun with my second job and it breaks up the seriousness for my first job.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - My issues are just not bad enough that they are saying surgery is a must. I won't do an elective surgery.
@LindieMaeP - I hate going as well. I wish I could do and get my work done. I need a lot of work. I am just scared as well and it is costly. Our groundhog is dumb. It is the same every year. 6 more weeks of winter. No matter what.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

Hi All, I took a break for a short while, but can’t wait to get back. Hoping to start back with the IBC before the 2023 Spring 5% Challenge starts. Would really like to be back with my previous teams. (IBC-River Otters; 5%-Mission Slimpossible) Happy Weekend! 😊4

Where has this week gone? I think it just wasted away... I know I sure did waste a lot of time. I had a fun filled morning at the dentist yesterday.🙃 Both the hygienist and dentist were impressed with the amount of improvement since the deep cleanings back in August, so it looks like I may keep my teeth for many years to come.😁
@NovemberGail Fortitude is a perfect word for today... TY!
Hope everyone has had a good week. Don't forget to turn in all your Exercise and LTGL's by 11:59pm tonight and Weigh-in tomorrow before 11:59pm.4 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 -not really. nothing tonight. Tomorrow is my daughter’s 18th birthday but she has a college audition and then is getting together with friends. Maybe she can do something Sunday with us? How about you?
@Catwmncat -yay for a good dental visit!3 -

Good Evening Everyone!
My Son only had a cleaning but gets his cavity fixed on Tuesday.
Today has been another sunny day. All exercise done, studied, read some of my book for my bookclub, did dishes and laundry. Also played skipbo instead of Wii sports as Hubby said his knees are bothering him from the marching. So I did step-ups on and off to get extra steps. Still struggling with being hungry all the time and keeping my calories in range.3 -
Good evening everyone, are you all stoked for some good weekend times ?? I know I am. We just had a storm blow through - litterally started with high winds, then rain then darkness. BUT somewhere a marvelous sunset is happening - I am sure someone got to see a rainbow or two as well - it is like night time out there and has been since 4 when the storm clouds rolled in. I went out this morning to go to T&T to get fruit and veggies - you know those things @Dianedoessmiles1 hates even though they have healing properties ( LOL ). Will be making coleslaw again as Gene ate quite a bit of the last one - don't mind, he needs healing foods too !!
@Dianedoessmiles1 last time an Elder was going to arrange for a bus, not sure about this time but I bus would be better so I can get up and move around. My friend will be streaming too as she has an elderly mom and husband to care for and he's suffering from demenia now so she is so sad but happy she can stream it too. Lets see our temps right this moment are 46F feels like 39F but rain so no snow - the rain brings out all the critters in the leaves and that gives food for the birdies - like the worm the robbin was eating. You are getting a touch of that cold vortex from Siberia - in Ontario and Quebec, as well as the eastern provinces have it much worse then you!! Glad I live in mild BC!!! I have one new dress so far for the Convention. I might get another, I might not. We will see. Volunteer this afternoon was good and I learnt a lot from the younger sisters who were talking up a storm about the Pioneer school that just occurred. It was the largest class in Canada!! The sisters made food, earrings for the women and tie pins for the men and it was quite good from what I hear.
@Catwmncat das me when I wake up in the morning !!! Hope your day went well.
@everyone have a good evening and enjoy what ever it is you have planned.

Doing a FLY BY Fridays are always so crazy with it being FRIDAY and the last day of the week. I am pretty sure you all know I am the CL (LOL NO @Catwmncat it does not stand for Crazy Lady, though it IS UP for debate!) of the Positively Strong 4 Life team) and all CL's are busier on Fridays (and landing days). So I'll respond briefly to those who had back to me.
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, Ohhh with the medical field being so stressed out, and I would of anyways recommend anyone ever do a surgery unless it was very necessary. I have my bone infection from the surgery in May.
@Bookienj,,, I hope your D makes herself available for you all. It can be so much fun to be "out with our friends" but, parents are with one for life, friends can come and go. I remember telling my GD this when she was in HS. She SWORE UP AND DOWN "oh NO!! We'll ALL Be friends for LIFE!!" She's been out of school now for 10 years so I had asked her last summer "how many are you still friends with?" "One." I did remind her of the conversation. So important for us to help them to see the bigger picture.
@Lindiemaep ,,, I hope they do rent a bus. We have done that to go to NYC back when. It was fun, and those who couldn't sit long could walk up and down the aisle to help their legs out. We didn't mind, I was young. Now I'd be one walking the aisle!! LOLOLOL!!! It SURE IS COLD!!

Friday's Eats were Yogurt/Cottage Cheese with Blueberries/Blackberries, Dates, Praline Pecans and Hot Honey Drizzle. Dinner was Chicken Legs and Light Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup and After Dinner was Coffee with Premier Protein.
@bookieNJ Thank you. It really was a great victory as last year I spent about $6k due to dental issues and I totally overcame a lifelong fear of the dentist, so to be relaxed enough to almost fall asleep was huge.
@LindieMaeP That's me everyday lately!
@Kurtize Now that's how to spend Caturday!
@Dinaedoessmiles You know CL definitely stands for Crazy Lady, on PS4L anyway. I think you once told me WL was for Wacky Lady???
Have a Happy Caturday and Don't Forget to Weigh-In!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. It is currently 55 F in my house as my furnace has stopped working. So that is going to be a fun bill. I am not looking forward to that one. I am freezing in my house and no way to warm up other than layers. I am hoping someone will get back to me quickly to get someone out here. I have called 2 people now and no one is calling me back even though they both say 24/7 emergency services. They lie.
@Catwmncat - That is really good. I need a deep clean. Your food looked really good.
@CSEGUIN2 - I struggle with being hungry sometimes too. Some days I am non stop hungry and other days I don't want to eat.
@LindieMaeP - I am stoked for the weekend but not really. I don't ever get to sleep in in the mornings. What I wouldn't give to be able to sleep until 8 am again. I use to be able to and now I cannot.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yeah the medical field is a mess. I got my blood draw done this morning. Now we wait and see what it says. I am hoping everything looks good.
Well it is time to get something to eat now that I have gotten my fasting blood draw out of the way. I hope you all have a wonderful day

Good morning everyone.2
-
I barely made it on the computer last night and didn't record anything. The entire day was getting to and from the Apple Store and then waiting to get a phone serviced. It was worth the effort but left me exhausted. I had not been to the mall for over a year (I think) and thought I would love getting out. Nope, I wasn't even enticed by window shopping. I must be getting older. My downfall was going to Chipotle. I overdid the calories and paid for it this morning on the weigh-in. I really need this challenge right now. (The truth is that the extra weight isn't only from Chipotle😋
Today's word is healing.

Good morning, my weight is finally down again from the 208 of last week to 206 this week. I am sure it is the breaded foods that I cut out of my diet and will only have bread with my Caturday breakfast - I will have the odd muffin and that but not every day. I should be a pro at weighing and measure as everything I do for breakfast IS weighed or measured out - yet this morning I FORGOT to measure out my soya milk for my 2 coffees I have - grrrrr on me - but better to be honest with all things then find ways to "skirt" around it ... not gonna happen, no points for this LTGL today - first day in some time I have not met all 3 every day but again honestly is better best policy.
@NovemberGail I sure dislike going to the Apple store here, I have to go to Pacific Centre Mall - very high end and then wait or make an appointment - but Most times I can google the issue with my Iphone and resolve it. Now I am in the market for a new Iphone maybe 13 pro or 14 pro ( obviously for the camera cause I hardly call anyone ) so I will venture there to see what I can buy and what kinda deal they will give me. I like to own my phones outright. I'll keep the Android only because it has it's own memory card I can take out un load and put back in which would be handy for extra storage ... I hope you have a good day today !
@Tabatha_Cain - oh my goodness not a good time to have no heat - can you cook or bake and get some kind of heat that way? I grew up on the shores of Lake Erie in a "summer' cottage that was not insolated at all - and frozen pipes and cold mornings were the norm back then. I doubt I could do that today - we had oil heat and my dad would turn the stove off at night to conserve oil - sure at our expense !! My mom would get up madder then hades and curse and carry on about it being so cold and getting 4 kids off to school or what have you. I sure hope someone showed UP !! Is there some place you can go in the meantime to stay warm or did you have to wait for someone to show up to fix the furnace?
@Catwmncat WOOHOOOO it's CATURDAY !!! I say CAT CAT CAT CATURDAY !! LOL we both look fine in the morning, no matter what the mirror says besides the mirror has two faces !! LOL Good eats there !! Here's my breakie - and yes those "orange things" are mandarins - last of the season, not too sweet not too sour !!
@everyone enjoy your day today - I know I will rain or no rain !!
