    I thought I would begin the move to be closer to DH very soon. I will make the move, but it will likely be a week or so longer than I first thought. I am hoping it won’t take too long. 🤞🏻

    Lanette - I use Amazon all the time, but don't do any 'Subscribe and Save'. Never have. The only thing that annoys me at the moment, is that sometimes things arrive early, when you ordered them for a day you knew you were going to be in. Plus they are now in the habit of not bothering to ring the doorbell. Grrrr! I just get an email to say it's delivered. It's lurking by the bins. :#
    But, to be honest, it really is amazing, even though I know the working conditions are appalling. I just can't resist the convenience, I'm afraid. I feel bad about it, but not bad enough to stop. >:) 5 things arrived today, including stuff that I would never find locally.

    Welcome to new posters who have found this great thread! Please keep coming ahd please share a name/living area we can keep you in mind.

    Lanette ~ I just ordered 3 Christmas gifts for son's family from Amazon. I have realized that somehow the prices are a bit higher than if I had gone out in public to shop, but, I think some of that is to make up for their free shipping to Prime Members. I absolutely hate going to stores to shop (except for groceries) so this is something I will continue to do. My problem at the moment is that I returned a couple of items and since I got the Prime Visa Chase card, I don't know how the bank handles returning the money to my account.

    Lisa ~ Buying the run down property sounds like a great way to make your own property more valuable.

    I am in my regular apartment for now. I am eager to move to the new apartment but it will take a bit longer than I imagined. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good outcome. 🤞🏻 I will call DH on the phone so we can chat. 😊

    Lisa, I know being in debt is not comfortable for you and Corey, but that piece of property would be such a great investment in your future. Whether you rent it, set it up for your DD and family to visit, or just tear it down and ensure that you don't have such yucky neighbors.

    Barbie--Thank you for getting us going on the new month. May we all have a good month and take time for ourselves.
    Katla--Great news about your move, I bet it will be a mood boster for both of you.
    Lisa--I agree that buying that place would be worth the peace of mind of not having to deal with the trash and dogs and whoever might live there.
    I still have the cough, but otherwise feeling a lot better. It's back up in the 50's today and tomorrow before another cool down. No wonder sick, don't know how to dress.
    Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

    Hey! My scale finally went in the right direction! I lost 3.4 pounds. Yay! I'm very excited. It has to be this new mango shake replacing the cookies. So now to see if I can keep it up. Well some of that might have been thanksgiving bloat, but still. Yay!

    Lisa Yay for your weight loss too! And feeling healthier! You can look up the house on Zillow to get an estimated value. Good luck with it!

    Rebecca sorry you felt bad. You will recover and feel much better soon!

    I matched a guy through OKC but I'm having a hard time being enthusiastic. 99 out of a 100 are still the wrong guy. For now it's just casual chat. And with the holidays, it might be awhile before we can meet. He seems nice enough and normal enough so far. His name is Chuck.

    I called DH and we had some time to talk with each other. He worked with his physical therapist today and is now taking a nap. I am grateful for iphones and the easy ability to talk with each other. 😊

    Lanette - we have about 8" of snow. It melted a bit yesterday but then started snowing again this morning. We are in what they call the convergent zone. Hopefully DD will be able to get home tonight.

    Lisa - go for it and I wish you luck with the price. DD and I considered letting the fire department do a practice burn on the old mobile home on our property but it was too close to some very large trees.

    Rebecca - hope you are feeling better soon.

    Tracey - love the reading picture.

    Cold and snowy here still. I got some good exercise in yesterday shoveling the porches and walks. And of course this morning shoveling poop. The horses and goats seemed to think they needed to stand inside the shelters all night, lol.

    Welcome to the newbies. Keep coming back.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA

    Thank you Barbie! That “what you want” is one of my favorite quotes.

    Bark! Bark bark! BARK! Barkbarkbarkbarbarkbark!!! WOOF!
    Tumble telling Maizey to stop moving. Shadow chiming in. The Princesses are NOT amused at Mama’s new toy. Joe and I were laughing but they wouldn’t quit. Finally had to coax them into the office and shut the door to let the new Roomba do its first run. Amazed. Didn’t pick up throw rugs, dog toys, it even rolled right over the area rug’s fringe. Think I’m in love.
    In the time it took me to type the above, got the “multisurface brushes cannot move” alert on my phone. Oh the lengths of Tumble hair wound around the brush! No matter, not hard to remove. It was also time to empty the bin. Amazing how much hair, dirt and spruce needles that tiny cavity could contain.

    Measuring vs weighing food. Switching to winter breakfast (oatmeal & veg sausage instead of cottage cheese or yoghurt) thought I’d just double check portion size. Another “Oh no!” moment. ¼ C dry thick rolled oats weighs over 60 grams, while the label says ¼ C equals 40 grams. Means I’ve been eating 50% more calories than I thought. :sick:

    Wimped out and didn’t go to line dance class. Too blustery/stormy. Joe suggested I take those winter storm travel advisories to heart after that last trip and I had to agree.

    Welcome @Sherryann_406 Sherry in Montana, those sound like sensible goals.
    Welcome back @healthysmrs! Not waiting but starting now, where you are, with one meal at a time, think you’re on to something!
    Rita what you said about being grateful for the women on this thread. Each and every day.
    Betsy safe travels!
    Pip conVERYgrats to chispas! Good pup!!!
    Katla that is wonderful news. Love hearing the enthusiasm in your post. Hope your new neighbors are warm and welcoming and the wait is not long.
    Tracey whose heart could not melt?
    Sue in WA sounds like a long time to wait for a lot of waiting to me too. All that shoveling will keep your mind occupied.
    Ginny, good question for Allie’s Dr. visit.
    I agree with Carla and Lisa about the daily gratitude list. It was a big help in adjusting my perspective and centering me in the now. Thanks Machka!
    Margaret Brava for your sister protecting those natural springs. Water is life.
    Lisa I am beyond excited for you and Corey. That is an opportunity not to be missed, even though it means incurring some long term debt. Try to think of it as an investment. You and Corey have well proven your ability to manage $$ and pay debt off early. It would be a shame to be penny wise and pound foolish. The fire department volunteers would be grateful for the training opportunity and I can’t think of a more positive way to purge those strong emotional imprints.
    Heather I’d love to see your new squirrel-proof bird feeders.
    Likewise Lanette, how about a pic of your snow dusted trees?
    Vicki that cough has lingered an awfully long time. Any dx?
    Rebecca tears are natural pain relievers. ((gentle hugs))
    Annie Brava for managing your Mom’s meds. Bravissima for “shake”ing things up and making that scale needle move. Well done!

    Barbara, Pip, and other dog owners— hats off to you. Your dogs get attention and exercise regularly, and it benefits their health and yours. WTG!!!
    I admit to envy. I hope to get a pup in the future. Helping DH improve his health comes first. Then I’ll be looking for a pup.

    When I have returned Amazon things, there is a credit that shows up on my Visa statement.

    Lisa, I too say go for it! Having the fire dept burn it sounds like a good plan too. I'm not a big believer in ghosts etc but some places do send out bad vibes and fire would be a good thing to help get rid of those. I do am a Pern fan, but didn't care for the book that I read that Todd McCaffrey had written. I have read the books many times also.
    Katla, sorry to hear that your move is delayed but hope
    it goes smoothly when it does happen.

    Ugh, trying to do this on my phone, not fun so keeping it short! Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies!

    Debbie – good news on the scan. I hate when the MD says “well, at your age……”

    I tell you, at this point I’m almost sick of cookies, which isn’t a bad thing at all

    Yes, I have been stress eating, but I do have to say that I’ve been stress eating on things like blueberries, strawberries, pineapple.

    Off to watch some TV and then bed.
