Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and we are home this weekend as we elected to stay home due to the roads being in bad shape from all the snow and frozen cold we have had. The church was ok with us backing out of our usual volunteer stuff this week because they knew the roads have been bad for them also. So we will be home this week.
@macrat12 - I am totally trying to find peace and joy in all aspects of my life. Just having a hard time right now.
@Kurtize - Those are some beautiful photos. Way to go on these walks. They are great.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - The visit with my Mom went well. We ate at a local restaurant and my mom paid for our breakfast. Then asked us to come to her house and replace her kitchen sink faucet. It is not working right so my Mom wanted to change it out. So we did and while we were there we also changed the toilet seat. My mom offered to pay Joe and he said no. She is family and we don't take money from family. We just help. My mom was super happy about that. My stepdad just cannot get done on the ground like that anymore under then sink to replace the faucet. So we helped.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

@Tabatha_Cain , I'm glad you decided to stay home. When it's icy and nasty out that is a very smart thing to do. Glad you got to see your mom yesterday and that it went very well. That would very very nice you guys to help change out the faucet and new toilet seat. As you age these things matter lol especially the toilet seat. Happy you had a nice day.
@Macrat12, sounds like you had a nice one too. Excellent job on the hydration. It's amazing how many people don't drink enough water.1 -
Good evening, everyone! It's a cool day here today. My daughter says hello to all. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I went for a short run earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I went for a walk after lunch and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing later on. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.0

It is in 30's, supposed to get freezing fog tonight. I have never heard that before so had to look it up.
Nothing exciting. I have taken today as a day off. Haven't decided if I will really do any exercise, just relaxing, watching tv and lounging, and playing games on my phone. Hope you all have having a wonderful relaxing day. Hugs and blessings.

Good Evening Everyone!
It's been a busy week. Tuesday after work I had a meeting. Before the meeting my friends and I decided to go out for dinner. Which was alot of fun. Thursday we finally got our furnace completely fixed and water came back. Also went up one side and down the other of a co-worker that completely got under my skin. I still have no idea how he still has a job but whatever. Picked up an extra shift on Friday and went in after shoveling snow for my side job and running a couple of errands. After work while waiting for the bus my son called me crying. Turns out that his mental illness was triggered by my sister over having dinner and he lost it. Called the cops on himself and had them take him to the hospital to the mental health ward. He spent the night there and then came to my house. It got him kicked out and he is now living with my ex and I. Not the best situation. But definitely better than being where he is constantly being treated like a child instead of an adult. Saturday was my only day off and had a dinner to attend. While there found out that I am being honored for 15 years as a Director on the Harrow fair board. Left early when my ride left as I had to be up for 2 am this morning for my 4 am shift. After work a co-worker and I went to the mall to have breakfast and do a little shopping. Then came home. Tried to stay awake without napping but didn't even make it till 1:30 pm before my body decided to shut down. Still tired but trying to stay up so I sleep through the night. Almost forgot on Wednesday went to TOPS and only gained 1 lb. Not what I was hoping for but it's better than gaining more.

Good evening everyone, I am finally feeling better, and ever went outside about 45 minutes this morning even in single degrees, and windy. Mercy, where did we get all this snow, I don't know hubby is going to put it all. we will be having piles till July. lol I didn't do any scoop, just not up to that yet, buy walking over snowbanks was enough for me, and helping hubby feed the animals. I think they were glad to see me, I know the barn cats were, as I had a bowl of scrapes for them. That was my exercise of the day, and if you dont think trudving in snow isn't exercise, will you tell me why not, that is work. Well, hope are having a nice eveningl Linda1

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and Joe and I are back at work. I am going to be working hard on memberships today. I need to get 9 in the next 8 days. I am definitely going to try. That is what I want. My boss has been so busy that we have not even had our Monday morning meetings that we normally have. She just took over some more offices and she has been working on getting all their stuff incorporated with our stuff and going over there and meeting them all and working with them all to get them accustom to her managerial style. So maybe at some point we will start having Monday meetings again. I am still going in early this morning just incase she sent us a link to get into a meeting today. Who knows.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. It was a nice Saturday. Especially since my Step Dad was not there. He is a jerk and I do not like him at all. So that affects me spending time with my Mom. He does not like people coming to the house when he is there. He smokes weed for pain and well when people are visiting he will light up a lot and Joe and I don't like that smell. Plus Joe is in the medical field so he cannot be around that stuff. Nothing against people doing it, but just be polite when people are in your home.
@cormierannie - Glad things are going well for you.
@Kurtize - That is weird Freeze Fog. Kinda like we get Thunder Snow. I am guessing it is a Thunderstorm, but instead of rain you get snow.
@CSEGUIN2 - I am so sorry about your son. That is a tough situation. I am glad he called and got himself help. That is always the best option. Get yourself help. That is awesome that you were being honored. 15 years is a long time. That 1 pound is definitely better than a bigger gain. With everything you had going on you did great.
@imustloseit1 - I completely agree that walking through a mountain of snow is definitely exercise. So glad you are feeling better. Scooping snow when you are just recovering might have set you back. I am glad all you did was go down and feed the animals.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.
Tabatha1 -
@cormierannie , great job.
@Kurtize , freezing fog It's kind of cool. I live on the coast that you know right on the water on the harbor, and we see it from time to time during the winter. Like any ice situation a lot of caution needs to be used when driving. Fog comes up very suddenly here and it random. Most often it includes part of the Maine turnpike. I'm amazing how many people don't think they need to slow down when its icy. When I was working 20 miles from here on bad work days weatherwise I would take the back roads.
@Cseguin2, So sorry your S has had a rough time. Hopefully the three of you can live together peacefully area that not easy having an adult child move back home. It is just not easy. Hopefully at work and will be okay So sorry about the co-worker. Sometime people have to keep them on the payroll only because they need a certain amount of number working for them in order to maintain a contract. Awesome that you're able to get out and be with other people and do some fun things! That's really cool.
@Imustloseit1, Happy to hear you feeling better. I adore snow! What wonderful exercise you did walking through the snow. I'm sure that the barn cats were thrilled to see you. Please take care go slowly as you get better Ion rebuilding your exercise.
@Tabatha_Cain, I'm glad you and Joe had a very relaxing weekend for the most part. It was so good you guys to help out your mom. I understand I had to stepfather from you nowhere. The day he died I did a wonderful dance of happiness. He knew I would! Sometime people are just plainly evil and selfish. I'm not saying it step out of it I don't know him I am saying mine was. I Don't care to have any type of smoke in the house myself. Thankfully living in a high-rise the overall insurance (we are each responsible for our units) It's cheaper because nobody's supposed to smoke in here. Now we are now some of them do, but,,,, lol We will leave it at that. I do have one neighbor on my floor that does smoke pot in his unit. He's very close to death though I just let him be and I defend him. It would be different if he was not 7n severe pain and it does help.

Hi all happy Monday. the weather wasn't too bad today. Rain is in forecast but weather man keeps changing his mind. Got a lot of things done. Walked Kayla. Don's ticket taken care of, grocery shopped, went to bank. Now time to relax. Hope you all have a great week.
Hugs and blessings.

@Kurtize, WOOHOO on getting so much done!! WTG on that!!! I agree with the quote, the more we think of the negatives the more negative we become. The more we look for opportunties when things are hard, the more solutions we'll find.2

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday and it is going to be a good day. My co-worker messaged me and it is a sheet of ice outside and she messaged our boss demanding she reach out to a higher up about delaying our opening because she doesn't want to drive in the ice. I think it is funny that she feels she can demand stuff like that. We will see if it actually works. Yes we had freezing rain last night and the roads are ice, but I don't think they are going to delay our opening because of it. I guess we will see.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - That is true. My co-worker recently got an apartment which was supposed to be non smoking. The neighbor above her smokes like a chimney and it goes through the air vents into he apartment. So is so mad about it, as when she went on the walk thru with the owner she mentioned the cigarette smoke and he said he would address it with the tenant upstairs and apparently he didn't make himself clear enough or did not address it. My co-worker is now complaining of a headache and feeling ill all the time because every 30 minutes her apartment is flooded with cigarette smoke. It is horrible. I feel bad for her.
@Kurtize - Glad you got time to relax. That sounds like a lot to get done.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.

Happy Tuesday. It wasn't real cold but overcast some fog, cloudy and 65% chance rain. Nothing very exciting going on here. I got another post card on my Conqueror virtual Jesus Walk challenge. Here is link to blog.

Today we were able to leave home, after covid, and of course we HAD to go to the grocery store as we were about out of everything, So got the stips in today and ir felt really good to get out, but boy, I was shot by the middle of the afternoon, and I did go in a laid down awhile and did sort of doze off a few minutes, and with 2 cats joining me it wasn't a very long nap/ And it was time to be thinking of what to fix for supper.1

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and I am definitely back to work today. Yesterday they ended up closing the office due to the ice and really bad roads. So I got a day yesterday to get a lot of other things done. I was able to pack up the porch. That was my son's man cave and since he doesn't live here anymore (he left most of his stuff here as he is living with his Fiance and his mom in their single wide trailer.) They don't have room for it and I don't want it just laying out and getting broken or something. Plus I want to do something with the porch. I am leaving his bedroom alone as he does come and stay here from time to time when we go to Joe's parents for the weekend and we need him to watch the dogs.
@Kurtize - Congrats on the post card. That means you are treking along.
@imustloseit1 - I am glad you are finally able to get out and about. The first couple of times you get out and about it does make you tired and require a nap. Definitely with cats you get no sleep. Our cat likes to jump on us while we sleep at night. Joe finally made the choice this morning that we are to have no more cats in the bedroom over night. We close the bedroom door so they are stuck with us all night and our one cat we have will jump on us when she wants to cuddle and wake us up. Not fun. We feel like we did not get any sleep at all.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Hi all! Sorry it's been awhile so i am enjoying catching up on here. I'm in Northwest NJ so we got pounded last week twice with snow. This week it's just been 10-29 degrees so nothing has melted. Today got up to 34 so we've had stuff melting but we also have rain.
@kaliswalker -lol I'm not from Canada but those would be my jars too!

@Tabatha_Cain -aw good call to stay home from church. Our church is midway up a major road. The road isn't plowed well and the parking lot is even worse. If it's iffy, we stay home. And i am glad your office was closed. If it's a sheet of ice, there probably won't be a lot of customers. Lots of places around here are known for stating "opening at 11 due to ice"
@Dianedoessmiles1 -how are the roads there? How much snow did you guys get last week?

Happy mid week

HI ALL!! Yesterday I had an infusion (Reclasp) last night my body wasn't happy, but today it's better.
@Tabatha_Cain, Ohhhh Tabatha if I tried that I'd have 1 or BOTH kitties at the door scratching away and MEOWING as if their little lives depended on it!! They love us. I wish you well!!
@Bookienj, OH I am glad you were able to be home!! Tabatha also!! We've had snow on the ground for about a week, I AM THRILLED!! As you all know I ADORE THE STUFF (LOL good thing since I live within 5 miles of where I was born, and have except for a few shorts times!). TOnight in the news they said Portland (There's ONLY ONE Portland LOLOL THE ORINGINAL one (in the US) Maine,, the weather is now 10 degrees warmer on an average than it was in 1960. WE COULD OF TOLD them that! Tonight it's freezing rain. Weirdly quite a few are still out, I have no clue why!! I'd of and AM waiting until the late AM tomorrow before going out.
@Kurtize, OH I HOPE YOU put that up on PS4L team in the chat!! If not, please do!! Others on PS4L we adopted the LION as our mascot! We are COURAGE AND STRONG along with being positively strong 4 life!1 -
Another nice day here, it started to thaw so we worked on the clearing off the patio. It is so nice to be able to walk out the front door and not have to crawl over the snow bank. And now the UPS guy can get to the door.
@tabatha_Cain the only time our cats get in on the bed is when I take a nap and let them up. We have always had the rule that pets don't belong in the bedroom, but I enjoy their company once in awhile. Kenny wants to cuddle up, and Shorey wants his place at the foot of the bed.1 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and I am hoping that it will be a good day. I did get a membership last night right before closing. So I am hoping that I will be able to get the last 6 memberships in the next couple of days. I am out of the office on Monday the 29th due to having the Bariatric Doctor appointment. It is our 2 month check in and readjusting things that have not worked and discussing adding exercise. I have already been exercising, but Joe is listening to the doctor and not exercising to make sure he got the food down. Since I have been exercising for years I could not not exercise. I have to have that or I get depressed.
@bookieNJ - So sorry you got a massive snow dump. We have people in our life group that are in the Buffalo area and they got 70 inches of snow. How much did you get? We started yesterday with the rain as well. It is melting a lot. Yeah we really thought we would just have a delayed start as well, but our boss messaged that we were closed for the day.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - We do have the kitties scratching at the door. We just have to ignore it and give extra cuddles during the day when we are home.
@imustloseit1 - It is always good that the UPS man can get to the door. We just sleep so much better without the animals. Although once in a while I do love my cuddles from my cats.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

It is in the 50's, cloudy and some fog in morning and when evening comes about. Nothing new or exciting here. Hugs all.

Another good day here even if this as about the 3rd day of fog, cloudy, and absolutely no sun shine. I do miss that. Got a call this morning from son 2 asking how we were feeling and beings we are both okay, he said they were coming this weekend to install the new flooring. Him and his wife do it as a team job, and we just have to stay out off there way. That shouldn't be to hard, but I dearly love my DIL and will miss our talks as she will be doing all the cutting and son does all the laying. Just have to do the meals, and that shouldn't be to hard, except DIL doesn't eat pork, just can't stand it, She says it stinks,, so I always have chicken for her, maybe Meat Loaf, of Tator Tot casserole, those always goes over really well. Naybe ever Chili and Grilled cheese sandwichs. WE will have to see what I come up with. Have a great evening and that a little ME TIME. Linda1
-
@Tabatha_Cain, WOOHOO Tabatha on the booking! YEAH!! You are doing so well!! With the cats, they'll adjust. LOL it's hard to get them into a different routine, but once they adjust they'll be fine.
@Kurtize, In the 50s is just way to warm for me this time of year!! i do not mind fog though. Today we woke up with DIAMONDS ALL AROUND US!! Yup! Freezing rain last night, sun this AM GORGEOUS!
@Imustloseit1, Hey, can we ALL come over for food? YUMMY!! How terrific it is you and your DIL are close!! That's the way it should be, but sadly it's not always. ENJOY the new floor!! That sounds very exciting!! Hopefully, at night you can all enjoy each other unless they're traveling back and forth or staying some place else.1 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and I am looking forward to this weekend and being able to relax. Yesterday at work they started a call session tracker. So I have to log all the calls I make offering people memberships. I have to check off if I dialed a number, then another check if they answered, a check if I got a membership, a check if they said ok to an auto quote, and an explanation as to why they declined the auto quote. So that is going to take a lot of my day. I was only able to get about 34 calls in yesterday because it takes so long to fill out that piece of paper. Then at the end of the day I have to email it to my boss. I get both sides of it. It will protect me if I don't meet my goals, showing the effort I put into it, so I get it. Change is just upsetting for me. I will get used to it. I am sure.
@imustloseit1 - Those foods all sound amazing. I am partial to the chili. I love venison chili and I make it a decent amount. I think I made it in December last and I am thinking of making it again this month. Probably this weekend. That is awesome that you are getting new flooring. Even more awesome that your son and his wife are installers for it. Where are you putting the new flooring? I need my living room, porch, and kitchen redone. It is going to cost a lot. I am thinking of doing it myself.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes I am sure they will be. Although the kitties are not liking the change process right now. We have one that will wait by our bedroom door so that as we open it she darts in and then hides under the bed so we cannot get her out. So we always have to slowly open the bedroom door and rush inside or rush out of the bedroom by squeezing our body between the door and the door frame to keep her out.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.
Tabatha1 -
@Tabatha_Cain , My Mom always did our flooring. Maybe that was a thing back at that time? Maybe not, I am not sure. But, she did am AMAZING JOB!! She didn't make any errors that I saw and LOLOLOL I am such a BRAT I DID LOOK!! Not to fault her though, but because the woman was simply AMAZING!! ITs easy to see where I get my "I'll TRY THAT" attitude!! My Mom was this way, and of course I learned from her, and no doubt genetics play into that also. HAVE FUN with it!! Ask questions over and over from those who have done such. ITs from my Mom also I learned to stay UP with the trends I like and not to be pressured by those I DO NOT! ENJOY the weekend!

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday and Joe woke me up early. I am sure I will have to take a nap later. I can already feel it starting to creep in that I might need one soon since we have been up since 3 this morning. Yesterday at work went well. I made 38 calls and only 10 people answered. No one wanted a free associate membership though as they had no one in the household to give it to for free. So that makes it rough. I am trying though. I have 4 memberships right now and I am logging all my calls so they cannot say it is from lack of trying. It is just people are not answering their phones. So that makes it rough. Everyone sends me to voicemail. But atleast I have the log they gave me to use to show my effort.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - That is cool. I know my mom did a lot also, but she was raised with 4 brothers, so she just tagged along and learned stuff with them. If she did not know one of her brothers did and they would come over and help her. Well my uncles are a lot older now and not in the shape they used to be for helping. My husband is pretty good at some stuff. We are big on if we don't know we will watch a video on how to do it though. He fixed the bedroom door, and yesterday my husband fixed the vanity medicine cabinet in the bathroom. It looks better than it did before. He is so proud of himself, and I am too.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

Good afternoon, everyone! It is a mostly cloudy day here today. My daughter says hello to all. She's working at her part time job today. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I went for a short run earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I went for a walk after lunch and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing later on. Have a great day, everyone!

@Tabatha_Cain, I am sure thanks to SCAMMERS many no longer answer their phones. I know I DO NOT!! I did answer one today (WHY?? WHY!!???? LOL) it was a 207 (Maine is one area code one of the only 12 states that do in the US) and a Saturday. It wasnt a scam though I DID have fun. There's a man who had this number before 2012 and he STILL USES IT!! He's NOT A NICE PERSON!! He skips out on rents and bills. I've gotten calls from the Sheriff Department threatening me (LOL no matter how much I told them I AM NOT HIM OR HIS WIFE they thought I was lying for a little bit, until I told them to please put my number into the database, BINGO! It came up to ME!) so now I say and the person today I told them "if he's trying to rent a place from you DO NOT DO IT!" he thanked and thanked me! LOLOL hey the guy should use a different number. I did giggle. I'm not at all surpised many do not answer. I am glad you get to track the amount of calls you make etc. GREAT JOB Joe in fixing the door!! It's amazing the things we can do by watching and understanding a video!! I have fixed up furniture after it looks AMAZING! Oh and COOKING!! I hated to cook (I am not wild about it still, but I love the stuff I cook!) now when I eat out I am at times so disappointed because LOLOL Mine tastes better! Hope you enjoyed the day!
@Cormierannie, Glad you got so much done!! NO DOUBT your team LOVES the exercise you do and the WOOHOO attitude you have!
@Kurtize, Aww we also hope you had a most lovely day Joyce!! I love being at peace with myself (98% of the time) it just feels good Hope helps us to move forward! WOOHOO!!!1 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and it is Church from home day. Next week we will be going up to church. We may actually go stay with Joe's parents. Not sure yet. Depends on if they are sick, or if I can get my son to come watch the dogs that weekend. Probably not, I may have to look at kenneling them. That might be something we should think about doing. It might actually be a good idea. Then I would be able to guarantee that the puppies get their medicine.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - That is true. Most calls now a days are scams. So most people don't answer their phone. Although you would think with the number tied to AAA that it would not come across as a scam. Now it makes me think my number at work may possibly come up as potential scam. When I get to work on Monday I am going to call myself and see how it comes up. That was awesome of you to tell that person to not rent an apartment to whoever has been using your phone number. I am sure that person really appreciated it. That landlord now gets to save himself a lot of hassle.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.
