Shelley - good idea...I'll post a pic next time when I post recipies!
Super busy work week. I had a funeral on wednesday for a colleague that I worked with for 25 years. He was such a good guy and I really miss him. Really beautiful celebration of life that has family created for him. He has hilarious people in his family. John was a pretty funny guy to....so lots of laughs by all.
Really glad it's friday. I Feel rather tired. WL Tomorrow we have a Christmas in July 50th birthday party for a good friend of mine. I am making eggnog and tortellini Pasta salad. I'm pretty pissed off at shutterfly the company that makes those photo books.
I ordered a photo book over 3 weeks ago (all of the people from the party contributed photos and well wishes.) It still has not arrived in time for the party.
I've been with their customer service for 4 days now and ultimately it won't get their on time. Super disappointing to not have it for him. But what can I do about it right? They refunded me everything and are trying to expedite....but I'll have to give it to him after the party ;(
Raining now....thunderstorm...guess that walk won't happen!
Happy Friday!

The rain stopped enough for me to get a 30 minute walk in before my first meeting here at 8 AM. Humid!
Karen1 -
Spent 60 mins w/my trainer this afternoon.
Tomorrow is supposed to be hot, hot, so I'll need to get out there very early. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I did get 5.86 miles in 116 mins done this morning. Took my umbrella because it was sunny!! And beautiful! Lots of folks out...lots of pups!! It is 96 degrees here at 1:20 in the afternoon. It is supposed to be the hottest...102...at 5:00 p.m. ...we'll see.
I hope you all are having a good weekend.

Hello all,
Sorry for my long absence. Sister broke wrist. Flew to Utah to care for her. Got Covid. Internet stopped working altogether - shocked to see it work this morning and happy to check in with you'all. That's the nutshell.
My weight is up to 220. Hard to remember when it was embarrassingly easy to lose. Being offline and not tracking is certainly part of the problem... and whiskey, a class every other day isn't bad but messes with keto.
Karen, I wish you could enjoy the pleasures of retirement; but on the other hand, being youth is great too; and doing so much with your family.
Kathy, I hope you feel better soon. To miracle meds. :drinker:
Shelley, I hope your trip goes well. I will always mask in airports from now on - learned my lesson about crowds and communicable viruses.
Chris, I hope Beans has stopped chewing his bandages. Poor baby. Fingers crossed for a good prognosis.
Best wishes all,
Paula

Hi! Paula!! So sorry you got Covid...I hope your sister is doing okay. Bean gets his stitches out on the 27th.
It's over 100 right now at 1:30 and still climbing!! No walking for me today. It was 70 when I woke up and almost 80 by the time I could be ready to go out there...nopey, nope!!

Going to my trainer at noon today....then??? Who knows. Only supposed to get to 99 degrees today.

Paula, I hope your sister is better and it was a mild case of Covid for you. I’m much better and working out regularly. I’ve finally gotten those sugar cravings under control and eating much healthier.
Chris it’s hot in Georgia as well. High 90s all this week. Doing most of my exercises at home. Recumbent bike and YouTube strength training exercises. I haven’t been to the gym since before vacation. Hope to get there 2 days this week.
My friends 65th birthday party yesterday was fun. Here’s a picture my mom took before I left home.

You have been missed! hope your sister is continuing to feel better. A broken risk is so difficult.
I've really struggled with doing longer fasts since my vacation. Working on doing 20 hours/day this week.
Karen0 -

Karen0 -

Chris1 -
I have missed so much. Just finished reading and now caught up.
Paula that was awful. Hope your sister is doing better. Vivid is a game changer. Just ruins everything. Glad you are back and hopefully doing better.
Kathy you look beautiful. What a wonderful photo your mom took. So happy you are weight lifting.
Karen you must be a wonderful cook. I would be in trouble. So sorry about the photo album. What a shame. And sorry for our loss.
Chris that is to hot for me. Yuch! I am hoping your test comes back positive.
My trip was long but fun. My mom is here visiting. Family reunion in WA. Put in lots of travel hours. So nice to be home. Doing pushups in the morning. It has been warm here. Hot at times. Taking the kitty to the vets in the morning. Not acting herself lately.
Shelley0 -
Glad you are back, Shelley. I missed you! Have fun with your mom and I hope the kitty is okay.
Sara and I got our hair cut this morning. Our Hairdresser is a friend of a friend, and we have been going to her for years. She is really good and loves to talk!! It takes a while. By the time we got home it was too hot to walk...it is 101 right now at 1:40 and getting hotter!! Tomorrow, I'll get out early in the morning and walk to the post office.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Managed 6.00 miles in 108 mins early this morning to the post office and back. Lots of people out walking and riding!! It was beautiful! Got hot, tho. I was glistening by the time I got home!!
Chris0 -
Chris my Sara has bad teeth. She has an appointment to have some pulled. Poor kitty. I like chatting when I get my hair cut. Course it only happens about every 2 years. 😅
I have been visiting lots. Family and friends. Went walking with my mom. Well I walked and she rode her scooter. It was almost 85 degrees when we left. But late so no glaring sun.
Can't believe a hot air balloon landed in my street this morning. Very nice.
Shelley0 -
Why'd a hot air balloon land there, Shelley? So strange!
Hope your ragdoll was just sad that you were gone traveling and is otherwise okay.
Best wishes,
Paula0 -
I have Collin Duty this morning then my trainer this afternoon
Chris0 -
Paula I have no idea. I think it was at the mercy of air currents. Will post some photos later for you.
Sara has some bad teeth. We have an appointment to get them pulled
I have been eating more salads this week. Trying to eat healthier. Got in some push ups today.
Chris how was Collin duty?
Shelley0 -
Collin is getting heavy!!! He's a chunk! But smiles all the time except yesterday...He is cutting teeth and not too happy. I got more smiles today.
Our housekeeper came today, so I had to clean up for her. Now I'm making soup.
Ronan is in playing with Grandpa. We'll be going over to his house to discuss school for him this coming year. He will be In Class instead of Virtual. We'll have Collin over here in the morning, so we need to figure things out with Sara and Pete. ...well...that should be fun... !
