    Good morning ladies!

    Kylia thanks for the encouragement!

    I'm waiting for my mom to get up so we can do her meds. Like many things, it only takes a moment, but the waiting takes awhile sometimes.

    Dumbbells and horse are today, so should be plenty of exercise. My latest diet wrinkle is that I was eating tilapia five times a week, and apparently that's too much mercury. So I bought some chicken breasts; I need to cut them into 100 calorie portions and freeze most of them. Always tweaking the diet and exercise.

    On the exercise side, I might add bird dogs to my dumbbell routine. It's a prelude to mountain climbers, which would be a good cardio boost.

    Have a marvelous day, and make good choices!

    Worked, then stopped at Sam’s to pick up my new glasses, then Michael’s to get aida cloth, then Aldi to do a little shopping, then on my way home Kohl’s to return the potato masher I got for Jess. I did see a few Halloween things on sale 80% off and it looks like next month I’ll be getting a $5 coupon so I’ll get them then. And if they’re not there...oh well.

    Carla – congrats to Lacy

    The plan for tomorrow is to do Kathy Anderson’s Step Workout for Beginners DVD then go to BK just to peel and slice the onions. Then I’m thinking I’ll go to the Dollar General since they’re the only ones who have the distilled water we like, then next door to Food Lion to get tortillas on sale, there must be a way to get from there to the WalMart in Conover so I’ll see if they have the saltines we like, by then the lady who does alterations should be open. Remember I told you I picked up Vince’s fanny pack that we use at Daytona? Well, seems she put in a new zipper, but there’s no pull. So I have to ask her how you close it, we sure can’t figure that out.

    Vince heard that some higher-up said that Harley was going to go to all electric. Has anyone else heard this? If they do, I wonder how their clientele will take to this????

    For the most part, Amazon delivers pretty quickly. They aren’t always the cheapest, tho. I’ve been waiting for months for these Birkenstocks that I want. A friend who lives in Germany is going to send me them. Even tho with the shipping, they’ll be expensive. But then again, I know that they’ll last a long time (my last ones did) so in the end it’ll be worth it. I’ve also been waiting for a pair of gray jeans to be in stock and they’re never in stock

    Rebecca – more food porn…

    Heather – great flowers

    pip -I’m with the others, stop beating yourself up. It’s not like you killed anyone, did you. Before you know it, this’ll be a thing of the past. Everyone is right, ***KITTEN**** happens

    Rita – what I hate about getting old(er) is that it takes SOOO long to heal

    Beth – hope your husband gets better real fast. MORE snow for you??????

    Sue WA – good luck at the cardiologist and have a safe trip

    Lisa – the only thing I do regarding social media is Facebook and that’s mainly to keep in touch with the kids. Don’t do Twitter, don’t do Instagram or Snapchat. Can’t be bothered

    Off to Newcomer bowling.

    Michele NC

    I have no wise words, food porn is I'm good for....😜💖

    Have you ever found that when you have a problem, or something on your mind, all kinds of things pop up to help you? Today I have been helped by posts on Instagram, by podcasts, which seem exactly tailored to my current anxiety. I am so grateful. :)

    With my tablet, I can mention to my middle sister about the importance of keeping her skin and hair clean in private chat in Facebook messenger, and my Facebook feed is filled with products that help with that. Its pretty creepy! So you phone and computer listens and makes note of what you say or click "like".

    There are ways to reduce the link between what you type into your computer (in emails, google, FB, on this forum, etc.) and what appears in your ads etc. :)

    It's all algorithms based on your input and settings.

    I do have Alexa on, and that most likely is the culprit. I do like saying, " Alexa spell ___", and she does. That mere listening option pretty much does it.

    Kylia- I am still in touch with a few of the old daycare kids, especially the boys that are my son's age. I had six all the same age. One I see often(his mom is one of the ones I walk with), refer to him as "my other bubba". A few I am still in touch with the parents more than the kids but a few of them check in once in a while.

    Insomnia again last night- took a melatonin but didn't seem to help so two hours later, took another half pill, still wide awake so took my biochemical phosphate and finally got to sleep(those and a shower at 1:30AM) and finally got to sleep. Checked the melatonin this morning- it is the old bottle that I grabbed that is expired, that is why it didn't work. My Fitbit says I got 6 hrs of interrupted sleep. The night before it was so bad it couldn't track it or something.

    Off today so unless I walk with my friend tonight, no walk for me today. Getting ready to run errands with dh, when he gets back from his mom. She was pissy because he got there half hour late so now he will be in a bad mood for at least a few hours, then again when it is closer to the time he has to go back over. He was over 1 1/2hrs late bringing her dinner last night(took 54min to get their food from Taco Bell-so surprised he didn't leave after waiting ten minutes) and she didn't say anything.

    Will catch up on reading the rest of the posts when we get back(or now if I have time. I am all ready to go, just waiting on him).

    1 PM— Snow is no longer falling & there is a good amount of snow on the ground. It is lovely. I don’t plan to build a snowman, but I’d like to see one. ☃️

    Margaret— Creating art is an amazing gift. I admire your artistic ability. 😊

    Pip—Yum! Your meal looks divine. ⭐️

    Rita— “APPRECIATE” is an excellent idea. ❤️

    I visited DH after lunch. My timing was off and he needed rest. I’ll visit him again later today. 💖💕 💖
