@Dpecora653 ,,, Ahhhhhh I learn by my mistakes, some I'll repeat, LOL Some I won't. Hehehehe we are human, but why beat ourselves up for being human?
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, Hon hope your day went much better then you thought it could be, Hugs from us all.
@Patti241 ,,, HI Patti!! PRETTY DAY Up here hope it is down there!
@mardeg918 ,,, SO GOOD to see here with us!!! I've not been to Delaware, I am waving to you from the state of Maine!!
@Macrat12 ,, Nice steps!!
@Katiecondy1 ,,, Oh Hon,, SUPER CONGRATS on stopping smoking!! WOOHOO!! That's GREAT!!! It'll calm down in time, for now it is as it is. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!
I Slept for 8 YES EIGHT HOURS!! WOW!! I wish I could say I feel AWESOME, but I don't, but it's PRETTY AMAZING which makes me smile so much!!! I'll take that and SMILE ALL DAY because of it no matter what my body feels, this is great!2 -
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all having a great afternoon and getting a lot accomplished even if it is just chillin in the lazyperson chair and listening to good tunes, might be something you waited all week to do!
I am afraid I did not sleep well last night and my left leg bothered me all night all the way down, most likely a nerve issue - I got up at 12 and took a tylenol arthritise but no help - eventually did get to sleep and got up at 7 AM and had 3 hours to get awake, ready for my zoom meeting with my congregation. By then I was fully awake and ready to participate! Gene just left to get some baked chicken, no idea where he is getting it from, no matter where, it will be pricey - a whole rotisary chicken at Safeway is now 14.99 my goodness I remember the last time we had the avion flu issue in chickens, the price went from 4.99 to 8.99 now it's gone up again, well that's gonna be an awfully expensive bird, but if Gene wants to pay that, so be it. I did pick up a nice Canadian maple ham and mash to have for dinner tonight but we will see, it can keep till another day.
@mardeg918 do take your time getting to know MFP and find your own short cuts. I basically stick with the groups, and news feed, I don't go anywhere else unless I have to track food and that is easy enough to do. I am sure you will find your groove on here and be comfortable in no time.
@Tabatha_Cain oh I so hope you are feeling better and you have a good weekend. Do rest as much as you can. I found it took me a good month to get back to normal after having Covid, yet my son bounced right back no problemo. We are each different and resat different too.
@KatieCondy1 - you can do this, you can over come this. You will be fine in time.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I hope you are feeling better for tomorrow's meeting and you can zoom it if need be. We had quite a few on zoom as colds/ flu is going around the congregation. Just take care of you as best you can and call for help if you need to. Don't be shy, the friends love you !!
WELL I should get up and get something done - I should I should I should... funny said that 3 times, still sitting here LOL

@Lindiemaep ,,, WOW On the cost of the baked chicken!! YO!!! SO SORRY!!! Glad you enjoyed meeting. Today I went and joined the others for hall cleaning, I didn't do much, only about 20 mins, but as we well know many hands make the work lighter. My friend next door did more than I did. This afternoon afterwards, we stopped at the pharmacy, and I went through the Chinese drive through ,, it's very yummy. IF you know what to order from there that is. And of course since it's local we do. Since that point I've been a chair potato and it's needed. Hopefully tomorrow I can go in person, but we'll see. If not, LOL My usual ZOOM buddies are MISSING ME!!2

@LindieMaeP-thanks for the pep talk...and as to the moon..I have been like this even as a child. My GM said it is because I am Wolf Clan and they are always restless under the full moon. They love it and spend their time celebrating it. I can sit on my porch with the moonlight as bright as midday and enjoy every minute. Just have to figure some sleep time the next day!!
I had quit smoking for several years when this crew showed up..everyone of them smokes..they do go outside (mostly), and the few times I have cracked lately I stop to think "why". It is because the smokes are there!! I refuse to buy at todays prices!! Now I need to as the saying goes..just say NO!
We went to the lake today..there were so many geese, mostly Canadian but a couple of domestic had joined the flock and there was a small representation of ducks as well. The deer were everywhere. We saw a couple of does that had triplets by their side and a few that had very late in the season babies. Most had at least grown out of their spots, but they were still small to be going thru the Winter. I think there is a feeding station at one of the State camping areas close by it will be needed to get those young ones thru the season. Then we took the back road home and sure nuff, more deer and fawn, plus a good sized flock of wild turkey. Twas a nice relaxing ride for both of us...Tammy was with me.
We went out to the lil town by us to search for eggs and surprisingly enough the lil store there had some. They were a lil pricy but thas ok, at least we have them. I got a feeling there will be chicks in my future this Spring!! Wow on the cost of the chicken..I did not even check when we were in the store.
Diane..I hope you have another good nights rest ..as always your upbeat attitude is an inspiration to us all. oHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Chinese!!! It is a sad statement but a true one...one of the things I miss about Jim was that we went out to eat often and although he was not fond of Chinese he would suggest it from time to time knowing I would love it.
That wraps up the day. I hope yours was as enjoyable as mine!!
Good nite all.1 -
PS - I had to go to Safeway AGAIN today as yesterday I FORGOT the small bottle of vanilla pure I paid 4.99 for. When I got to the self service check out assistant, I asked her if it was handed in and she said to check at customer service. I checked at customer service, showed them the receipt I had - it was the first thing on it, and she pulled out a book and sure enough the bottle had been handed in ( most likely placed back on the shelf for resale ) and she told me to just go get one. I left my cart at customer service, picked up the bottle and headed back. She marked the reciept and gave me the items back. Then I went and got a Canadian Maple Ham, mashed potatos and headed to check out, then home. When I got home, Gene was up and in the other room. I put the stuff away and told him what I picked up for dinner. At some point he got dressed. I asked him where he was going since he had long pants on - he said no where, he changed his mind, but half an hour later, he decided to go get some fried chicken. I asked if he was getting Churches Chicken,he said no, Safeway - I said you eat it that stuff is not so great. Well he went to Safeway and bought it and it cost him 6.99 for each single dinner he bought - 3 pieces of baked chicken and mashed potatoes. Now you would think baked should be better then fried. Well he gave me one of the dinner and mine was so dried out, it was disgusting but I ate it anyway rather then waste food. I told him afterwards and he agreed, he should have gotten Church's Chicken. Told him if he had I woulda paid half lol
Gonna go record my numbers and head off of MFP... night all !!

@Katiecondy1,,, Awwww Jim sure did love you, it's so easy to see why!! He was one great part of your cheering section, but many of us have been fortunate to be there too with you. SLEEP WELL hon!! We'll see ya on Sunday.
@Lindiemaep ,,, We don't have a Church's chicken, but OHHH POPEYE'S!! OH MY YES!! YES!! YES!! You also sleep well!! I'll be POPPING OFF Here soon!! The Ferris wheel I've joined the 2 of them, have more of tha tdone and the steps. Next step is to put together the working parts ,, the interactive ones that make it go around!! That's exciting and "HUH"? at the same time. LOL OH WE KNOW I'll do it!! After that it's faster to put together in part. I am now on step 31 last night it was step 17. There are 56 in all.

Have a SENSATIONAL SUNDAY

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all having a good morning. Today is Sunday and I am back to work tomorrow. I am not sure I am wanting to go back. Even though I have been sick I had a whole week off and I loved it. It was so nice to be able to sleep when I wanted to sleep. That was nice. I do have to get back to work though.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I slept for so long also. It is crazy that I slept for so long. I still feel tired. I am not sure if I feel better or not.
@LindieMaeP - I am finding I am so tired. Yesterday I went to sleep at 7:30 pm and woke up this morning at 4:30 am. Definitely needed some sleep. Sorry about your nerve issues. Chicken is getting quite pricey now. Sorry the tylenol did not help.
@katiecondy1 - I love watching deer and geese. It is so peaceful, I especially love the ones with babies,
Well it is time to get some breakfast. I hope you all have a great day.

@Tabatha_Cain ,,, In turn last night I DID NOT SLEEP!! AT ALL!! SIGH!!
@Patti241,, Good Morning Patti!! Did you get any snow today? I "think" we may get flurries later.2 -
Good afternoon, happy Sunday. Yesterday got the rest of my packages ready to mail. Finished up Christmas cards. Feeling good about that. It has rained on and off the last 2 days, today it is overcast, up in the 50's. @Dianedoessmiles1 where we were last year we weren't affected with loss of electricity, thank goodness.
Have a great rest of the day, hugs and blessings for a wonderful new wee.
Some more Christmas humor

Good afternoon everyone, sure hope you are enjoying your Sunday,no matter what you have planned. I am enjoying a quiet afternoon listening to some music and maybe when I am done I'll get up and dance with my "airpartner" LOL
@Tabatha_Cain - tired I know, I had it and it took a month for me to get over being tired from Covid. Then when I got back to normal, got hit with a flu virus of some kind not covid and wham back down again. I just took it easy as best I could. I am not one to lose my apetite and if I ever do, Gene has been instructed to call an ambulance if I refuse to eat - Through it all I still could eat and eat I did, but going out, doing errends, even laundry, tired me even my arms felt heavy and tired me just swinging them when walking. Hopefully you do not go through that and once back into your normal routine, you'll feel better.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I have heard of Popeye's Chicken and I think there might be one in Alberta, not sure but I would love to try it. I like Church's chicken better then KFC - always had and I used to work for KFC way back when Gene was like 5ish ... That ferris wheel is going to be something. Will you give it to your grandson? I do not have the pateince for things like that. I have other talents, I just have not found them yet LOL 2Kings 16,17 very interesting for this week ....
@Dpecora653 awesome post - reminds me of something Jesus said on the Sermon on the Mount - he said (Matthew 6:25-34) ...So never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles. and I try to live by this every day. Thanks for the reminder of this through your post.
@Kurtize very funny indeed LOL poor snowman get blamed for everything from iceing a shoulder to leaving a puddle on the couch/mat LOL No eating the carrot !!
@everyone I hope you are enjoying your day/evening. I sure am. Take care ...

@Kurtize: Love the cartoon!
@Dianedoessmiles1: You are going to town on the Ferris wheel! Good job!!!
Today I was a true couch potato. At least the stretching exercises were completed.
Have a good Monday!
Tomorrow's word is SYNTHESIS

@Kurtize,,, sounds like another productive day!! WTG!!! Nice that last year you weren't going through the loss of electricity. May it go that well this year too!! Love humor.
@Lindiemaep ,,, I used to LOVE LOVE KFC, but they've gone downhill. Oh putting the Ferris Wheel together has been fun to do!!! Ohhhhh Nah, I am not letting Roman have it, though he can play with it if he's gentle with it. LOL If not, I love that children are SHORT!! Well he is half of my height. LOOK!! FINALLY though it's NOT MUCH AT ALL STILL!!
@Novembergail ,,, Awwwww thanks!! It's fun watching it come together. Today Izzy is STUCK TO ME LIKE GLUE AND MORE!!! It's so cute, and yet. She's always on me, but today it's so strange, but she's playing like a little fool so I know she's okay. Some days we just really need a DOWN RELAXING DAY. Glad you finally have one.
2 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 are you sure you are going to be able to sleep with that white stuff coming down ? LOL Amigo spent some time in my room, actually came in on his own, I put him on the bed for a while and then he wanted down and then changed location 2 x and then eventually left. I fed him so now he's on the couch with Gene. He's not a lap cat, and I am happy about that, Kartmen was but only when I was in the lazygurl chair ... different cats different personalities kinda thing. Funny how we tend to give human attributes to our animals when in fact it is instinct.
Well I have recorded my numbers and I am going to call it a night.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are doing well. Today is going ok. I am still a bit tired. I really want to go back to bed. That is what I want to do. Today is going to really tell me if I am ready to go back to work.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I have been there before. I need sleep.
@Kurtize - It is nice not being affected by loss of electricity.
@LindieMaeP - I am hoping to feel better today. I hope I don't end up with the flu virus on top of covid. I need to get better.
Well it is time to get ready for food. I hope you all have a great day.

@Lindiemaep ,, LOL it was hmmm barely a snow "Fall" it was really a snow SHOWER that lasted a tiny bit, but, LOL LOL Barely covered much. Sure hope Amigo can fully recover, glad he's eating even a tiny bit. Aww that he came into your room on his own. He's a tough little guy!!! Indeed all kitties are like we are, different personalities. All 5 of my girls have been lap cats. LOL Izzy's name should be VELCRO!! But, I love it and so does she so that's all good!!
@Dpecora653,,, Agree. So slow make it real.
@Tabatha_Cain ,,, Sure hope work went okay?
@Patti241,,, Do you enjoy snow? Sorry, I can't remember.
Today I saw the skin Dr. NICE DAY because I only 3 spots she froze today!! WOOHOO!! Sometimes it's 9 to 12!! PROGRESS FINALLY and NO skin biopsies were needed today! Did my grocery shopping I rarely use coupons but where I go they of course as you put in your number, notice everything you buy and gear the coupons to what you use. Hey I am OKAY WITH THAT!! Today I saved 11 and also got 5 off on top of that on an order of 70.00! NICE to get that extra 16 off.2 -
Good morning, 3 loads of laundry done - 2 were mine and 1 was Gene's now I just have to put them away. All those trips down the stairs to the laundry room gave me my exercise for the day but I am sure I will get more. Nothing much on my agenda today, just feeding Amigo and cleaning up the kitchen, man that sink is always full these days LOL I blended his food last night and added a bit of water and olive oil - that will help him poop and he needs to. He's doing ok peeing but hardly any poop - course he has to eat to poop and he does not want to eat like he used to. The blend is a bit more liquidy so easier to feed him. This morning was a comedy show - with him moving his head and getting the food on my fingers and such - but I got him fed pretty good and then washed his chest down with a cloth - something else he is not doing is cleaning himself and that is not a good sign. Last night I got up in the middle of the night and almost stepped on him as I did not know he was in the bathroom - at least he was wandering around last night. I made a tea for myself and forgot it in the kitchen LOL Ok now we are going to Superstore as Gene is out of luncheon meat and I am out of tea - so when I get back I will finish this post and just save it for now....
Back from Superstore - there's fog out there, and I got a couple of shots of it, but I will post them later. Also bought a hat with ear coverings will post that later too. While at Superstore Gene wanted to get a "baster" to feed Amigo, I asked, do you really want to feed him with that ?? He said no then thought maybe an icing thingy. I told him to think about it and I would go to the pharmacy and ask for a feeding syringe and sure enough they had one and gave me one. so now I can see how much Amigo eats. On the way to the store, Gene was driving, he said, I have to stop using that oil - WHATTTTT ??? I know it is his choice ... but I wish he had checked with his MS doctor BEFORE using the oil to ensure it does NOT interfer with his infusions. OI sometimes I wanna just ... gonna shake my head and move on.
@Tabatha_Cain, mask covering and hand cleaning best way to avoid that flu - I think once things relaxed, people got too lazy, me included about wearing masks and hand cleaning. When I got the flu or cold or what ever it was the after I got my covid booster and flu booster, I still got sick... I hope today was not too hard for you.
@everyone hope you are having a great MONDAY - it's a good day to be alive !!

Howdy all and happy new Monday. Cloudy, gray, gray sky, 61 degrees. We went for some rock for the project Don is doing in backyard, slowly but surely getting done.

Awwweee we had fog this morning but the sun is shining here at home!!
I was going to change the size of the picture, but the program changed how they do that and I do not know how to change it now... I'll figure it out one day. Not today !!

Good Evening Everyone!
It's been a couple of days since I've been on. Wow a lot to read. Everyone has been busy.
Saturday was a busy day. It started out with some exercise, then a trip to my son's appointment. On the way home we stopped at a market for some fruit and beef bones for my fur baby and the storage unit to get the rest of the Christmas deco (possibly missed some). By the time we got home by cab it was after 2. Had a quick bite and headed to my friends so I could book hubby's and my train tickets for Thursday. Ended up ordering out as I was just to tired and busy to cook dinner. While waiting for dinner to arrive we did some decorating.
Sunday was another busy day. I went to my church service and coffee hour and then went with my Son to his right after. I don't mind going to both and would do it every Sunday if he went even when he was at home. After Church finished decorating and discovered we missed some Christmas decorations at the bin. Otherwise I have no idea what happened to them. In the evening we went to a Chinese buffet for dinner with family for my Son's birthday. He will be 23 tomorrow. Had a great time and tried to keep the choices somewhat on the healthy side.
Today was another crazy day. Slept in and woke with a start from a weird dream. Got dressed to exercise and ended up getting called into work right before I started. So it was shower and change of wardrobe and plans. For Lunch the residents had chicken tenders, fries, mushroom soup and eclairs. They ate all the soup couldn't believe it. For dinner the residents had cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes, gravy, carrots, tomato soup and leftover deserts from the weekend and lunch. Also got their gingerbread cookies baked. Now they just need to be decorated. Also made jello for tomorrow to help out my friend (manager) as she is working all day. I have tomorrow off for TOPS and the TOPS Christmas party. My Son is going to the party with me as Hubby's not going. Today is also Mom's first Heavenly birthday.1 -
@Lindiemaep ,, sounds like you got a bit done today. Poor Amigo, I agree when all is not well it's not well. Its so hard to say goodbye though. Nice hat and fog!! At noon it was 22 degrees out. I was laughing, and HOT walking, but inside I am so cold and it's 72!
@Kurtize,,, that's pretty!! It looks nice.
@Cseguin2 ,, WOW Busy 3 days!! I forgot where are you going on Thurs? Glad you got the tickets. YUMMY I love a Chinese buffet because I can have a little bit of the stuff I LOVE LOVE LOVE, and yet other things I couldn't normally have in the meal/dinner that are healthier or as much of those as I love. I ADORE hot and sour soup!!

Billie story: Sometimes guests leave comments behind in a gratitude book. A mother and daughter spent some days after having to euthanize their beloved dog. Billie came to their cottage two times and just spend time laying in the sunshine on the porch. They were grateful for the dog kisses and her presence. She's a good girl.
Tomorrow's word is RELEASE.
Rain is one the way.

@Lindiemaep : you look so cute in your new lil hat!! Bet it is cozy with that and the nice scarf around your neck!! Ahhh Kids,,,they never quit being KIDS do they!!
@Dianedoessmiles1: So you got snow..no don't say it wasn't much..it was SNOW and the ground was white. Enjoy!!
Keeping up with what I think I should be doing...doing what I must be doing and realizing that I need more sleep than I used to when I was much younger!! That combo has made me dance around singing "the ole gray mare she ain't what she used to be", a lot of the time.
I went on a cooking spree yesterday , made veggie soup...then coleslaw...then cabbage rolls and of course had to have cornbread to go with that!! Started a crockpot of beans , some to eat now and some to make burritos. I am trying to stock the fridge so that if I have a reaction to my next Covid vaccine there will be meals fixed for the crew. And cause I was in a cooking mood too. I can kick out some food when those moods hit me and I can find more excuses than pebbles on the beach if I don't feel like it.
YES this time of year it is hard to hold the line..really hard!! We can only do our best..then later on deal with it cause we know how it is just a matter of getting focused once again.
We have a blizzard headed our way ,,so got in a lil extra wood just in case it turns out to be a big one!
Whew..started this hours ago and just got back to the computer..ready to call it a night..
Ya'al have a good rest and enjoy your Tuesday....

@Novembergail,, HOW SWEET Of Billie she knew what was needed. Glad they came and she certainly answered their call!
@Katiecondy1 ,,,LOLOLOL when I hear that song,,, My Mom's name was Mary. So 2 of my brothers redid the song a little bit, and sang it for her special one day (1st time) when we were all back home (We were grown though in our early 20s) "The Old Gray Mare isn't what it used to be" their way. We were all laughing so HARD I AM SHOCKED they got through it!! GOOD MEMORIES!! My Grandmother about wet herself, they went into (I hadn't heard it, I am not a country fan, apparently only a few may of!) "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" HAHAHAHA we were besides ourselves!! Hope this helps you to understand my sense of humor!! If you want to have a taster just let us KNOW!! WE HAVE NO DOUBT GF you know how to REALLY COOK and cook WELL!!! When is the Blizzard going to hit you all? It'll be here Friday into Saturday, but not as a blizzard. Likely A Nor'easter and here along the coast probably snow to rain or just rain cause that happens so much lately. SIGH!! PLEASE BE SAFE!! OFF I go in a few. Just tying up a few things so tomorrow isn't as CRAZY!!3 -
Thought of the day:
Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters.
Have a Terrific Tuesday 5
