Good morning everyone1

@Tabatha_Cain , was it while you were outside working on the garden you felt faint? If so, did you drink WATER often while being outside? That's exactly how I feel when I am badly dehydrated. inch the skin over the back of the hand, on the abdomen, or over the front of the chest under the collarbone. This will show skin turgor. Mild dehydration will cause the skin to be slightly slow in its return to normal. THANKS for checking on me, I thought I had hopped over, I knew I missed 1 day, Sunday we played to hard. LOLOL Hey GOTTA LOVE THAT!!! I needed to be flat down as much as I could. SO SORRY I missed a few!! Hey did you have have the interview? CURIOUS MINDS WANT TO KNOW!! Hehehehe!
@Aalley5, Awww thanks hon!!! Sunday was crazy, Mon I rested, yesterday my GGS was having a hard time, that took up much time, but after he and his Mom and I talked he felt better (She's such an AWESOME Mom!! I helped raised her, she knows the difference between a Mom who TELLS You what to do, but that's it, and a MOM who shows you, talks to you, if it's a chore that a child absolutely hates to ask them what chore would they like to do? Awwww we know who she learned that from!) It was 99% her, and just Grandma assuring him it's okay to have feelings, everyone does, I did at his age as he was doing. Most of the time he's so sweet. How are you doing? Since the treatments does the heat bother you more? Less etc?
@Patti, I hope today is better than the other day. IT'S HOT OUT!! We are expected to hit 80! Hmmm Okay 80!! LOL LOL When I go out I look like a DROWNED RAT!!
@Kurtize, was so good to talk to you last night on the phone!! Joyce is also a leader on PS4L! I have to tell you all, she SOUNDS LIKE she's in her 20s!!! Joyce you are so kind and sweet and an excellent leader!!

Good morning! Workout done!
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Weather temps don't bother me any more or less than before treatments.
Anything cold bothers me. During chemo I couldn't drink anything cold. It had to be room temperature. Now I'm able to drink water from the tap or fridge. I don't use ice.
I'm glad you had a rest.Glad you had a good heart to heart with GGS!
@Kurtize - I enjoyed the arm workout.
Have a great day!
Does anyone look at the FB page for the 5% team or sparkpeople alumni?
Hi @Patti 0 -
Thank you all, I do like that exercise, thanks Diane, your a sweetheart. It is in the high 80's today and going to be in 90's tomorrow. Tomorrow is follow up from vein procedure hoping no more have to be done. Have a great rest of the day, hugs all.0

@Dianedoessmiles1 -I'm so sorry I am just seeing this (from weeks ago). Pretty good here. My older daughter is home for another week until she leaves for her overnight summer camp job (teaching clarinet). Younger daughter is in a slow cycle finally-the drama is done, now we're in the final push of school-we have two parades and a performing arts banquet. Something is up with her knee so she's going back to the orthopedist on Friday. Meanwhile my 102 yo grandma passed away this past Saturday. Hubby and i drove up for the funeral.

@Tabatha_Cain -aw thx for sharing your hard water info. And that's cool someone approached you about a possible job. Keep us updated!0

@aalley5 , Oh, that's FANTASTIC that your body has adjusted, being in congestive heart failure, mine is always running very hot!! In the winter if the temp is over 30 and not much wind with the sun out, I am in a TEE SHIRT snow or not!! In the warmer weather I am in the AC!! I do follow the Sparkpeople 5%. Is there a reason why you ask?
@Kurtize, sure hope that appointment goes very well!! UGH On 80s and 90s!!! Today in the 70s today (which is so hot for me!) I thought of running around naked outside and jumping in the harbor!! BUT!! LOL you know 50% of the units here face it, with the grocery store that faces us across the water. WOOHOO A WIDE AUDIENCE!!
@Bookienj, I am so sorry about your Grandma! Even though she was 102 it still hurts. My Nana died at 96, we were sad to have her go, but that woman lead a very charmed life! Awww the kids grow so dang FAST!!!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and well it is going to be a great day. I am hoping to get some memberships again today. Tuesday I ended up getting 4 memberships in that one day. It was pretty great. That made me so happy. I have another job interview this morning and one tomorrow at 11 am during my lunch. It is just a phone interview that one. So we will see how it goes.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I was not drinking water while I was out there. I probably should have been because it was pretty humid and it was 88F outside. I am glad you are ok and took Monday to rest from your Sunday playing hard. The interview was too good to be true. After the interview I was really excited and then realized there was a whole bunch she did not tell me so I started asking her questions. So now I have found I have to provide my own laptop, pay for my own business cards, and licensing, and special insurance for doing the job, and I have to contribute $50 a week to the contest and incentives budget for the team, and I don't get a paycheck if I don't make any sales. So I decided to pass.
@Kurtize - I hope your follow up with the vein specialist goes well. My husband pointed out some varicose veins in my right leg right below my knee the other day. I should probably get those looked at.
@bookieNJ - I am so sorry for you loss. My Grandma was my best friend and so I know the loss is a big loss. I am glad your youngest daughter is over the drama and focusing on the final days of school. I do hope her knee heals quickly. I had knee problems starting at age 15 in high school. They told me to wear braces or don't be in Marching Band. Guess what... I wore braces. There was no way I was giving up Marching Band.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

@Dianedoessmiles1 - I was wondering about the FB because I'd post my pics if anyone was interested. My FB is: https://www.facebook.com/aalley2?mibextid=ZbWKwL
I did not know you had a heart problem! I'm so sorry!0 -
@aalley5 I checked out your facebook page, the pictures are great.
@Dianedoessmiles1 and @Tabatha_Cain dr pleased with outcome. They did an ultra sound and vein looked good and working good. Wearing the compression stockings everyday made the difference.
We got the oil changed etc on the car so that is all taken care of. Other than that nothing new, hot 91 right now but the breeze helps. Have a great evening. Hugs all

@Tabatha_Cain , WOOHOO Tabatha!! WOW GREAT DAY on Weds at work!! Oh my GD had one of those "interviews and training" also. NO TY! Ahhhh we need to drink more water in the summer heat also, or even when it's cooler and we are working hard. I am so glad you didn't end up in the ER of dedydration! I've been there/done that. They use HUGE NEEDLES!! OH MY!! That HURT!
@Patti241, any plans this weekend? BBQs? I love me a good ole BBQ, but this weekend I am solidly booked up for a religious convention which I LOVE!! I'll not be able to attend much of it in person, but I am realy tomorrow AM! So I'll see some friends I've not seen in over a year or MORE!
@Aalley5, COOL Pics hon!! I justed did a friend request to you. LOL Seems I know a few people. GRIN! I've been in congestive heart failure since Feb of 2021 and last Spring it's buddy decided to hop on board, chronic kidney disease stage 3a (Its the notice stage, but they function without meds at this point etc, but it also tires me out, between the 2 things,, zzzz. I STILL go on though and average 30 mins of exercise a day, BUT NOT AT THE SMAE TIME!! Sometimes up to 90 rarely over 120. LOL
@Kurtize, WOOHOO so HAPPY to read that your veins are doing well!! WTG On wearing the compression socks which made the difference. I am SURE he sees those who say "Yes, I wore them" when they are LYING THROUGH THEIR TEETH, like a physical therapist, a dietician, etc, etc, can ALWAYS TELL when one lies, they easily see those follow the program. I was giggling when I saw a dietcian ,,, I was "no I'm not eating y x z!! Instead let's work with what I can do and am willing to do!" She said she had people who'd say "yes okay" but, not do it, she preffered those of us who had the "YOU ARE SO CRAZY if you even think I'd eat that way!" Hehehehehehe because we were honest. She started my weight loss journey will the success I've had.0 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. I had a job interview yesterday morning at a different insurance agency. Well their offer was to good to pass up and I feel like it will be a lot better place to work and way less stress. So I accepted their offer and will be leaving AAA effective June 6, 2024 to start my new job on June 10, 2024. I am really really excited about that. I feel like it is a really good move. I will still be doing basically what I do at AAA meaning answering phones, making policy changes, and taking payments, but I have no memberships to sell, no credit cards to chase after, and no referrals to have forced on me. Plus they are giving me more money. So that works out better anyways.
@Kurtize - So glad the doc was pleased with the outcome. I need to get an oil change as well. We have been in the high 80's for weather here. So pretty close to where you are at.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes, I do need to drink more water. I maybe get 20 ounces in a day just because I am so busy. I try to drink more water but it does not seem to happen. I am sure those needles hurt.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.

Diane: no plans, just staying at home.

Happy Friday. It is 77 (supposed to get to 81) but it is windy so I think that is why it is cooler. Of course the wind and heat has put us on fire watch alert. I know we did have some bad fires a few weeks ago.
Our great granddaughter Angelina is 1 today. She was the last one, but now in Sept, we will have another great grandson. Our family has had more boys than girls born. Hope everyone as a great weekend. Hugs

@Tabatha_Cain , YEAH YEAH YEAH!! OH hey CONGRATS!
Oh Tabatha, that's AWESOME Especially NOT having to sell as you had been. AND the less stress we have the happier we are! I am so happy!! AND It's NOT EVEN ABOUT ME!! LOLOLOL!!!
ANNDDDDDD JUST IN TIME Tabatha, week 8 WATER!!! LOLOL How's THAT TIMING?
@Patti241, you are SMART!! So many drink more on long holidays. There's NO WAY I'd want to be on the highway Monday as they head back or tonight!!
@Kurtize, Awww on another little joining the family!!! Ours is also MORE BOYS than girls. My GD wanted to try for a girl again, but I HOPE SHE DOES NOT!! She almost died having Matteo!! NO WAY can my poor heart go through that again!! She lost a severe amount of blood. We hit 81 today, OH MY!! From the high 50s and low 60s to suddenly in the 80s is INSANE!!! HOWEVAH that saying is NOT insane, but helps to retain our sanity!!

Congratulations on your new and better job @Tabatha_Cain !
@Kurtize - Thanks, it really is a pretty place.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - glad you sent me a FBFR!0 -
Hi all! It's friday night...not sure how good the scale will be to me tomorrow. Less movement for me this week between my grandma's funeral and my younger daughter being off school yesterday and today. Hoping to sneak a run in tomorrow.
@Tabatha_Cain -aw thx so much. That's awesome your grandma was your best friend . My mom told me that my cousin's best friend was my grandma-I feel so bad for my cousin. My grandma had dementia for 5-6 years-that had to be so hard for my cousin and grandma. And thx for well wishes for her knee. We went to the dr today-they ordered an MRI and said my daughter only has to wear the brace (that she started wearing last week b/c they told her to)...now knee is feeling better lol. And yay about the new job! It sounds perfect!

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday and it is going to be a great day. I am going to have a great 3 day weekend. Thank you for all the well wishes on the new job. I look forward to starting.
@Kurtize - Happy Birthday to your great granddaughter and congratulations on the new great grand baby.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - A lot of people in my other groups are not getting why I changed jobs. I am glad you get it. The less stress the less Fibro flares that happen. I won't have to take muscle relaxers to function during the day. At least that is the plan. Thank you for understanding the struggle. Yes this is a great week. I need to drink more water. Could not have come at a better time.
@bookieNJ - I am sure you will be alright for the weigh in. I am glad they did an MRI of her knee. Growing up I was diagnosed with Patellar Tendonitis in both my knees. They had me wear braces during marching band and I had exercises I had to do. If they give her exercises make sure she does them faithfully. I did not and my knees hurt a lot now that I am older.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

@Tabatha_Cain , any plans over the long weekend? You know mine!! TOmorrow is the last day of the convention. Though I'm tired, it's a GREAT TIRED!! I did watch by the stream today, tomorrow I will attend at least a half day in person (I live 10 mins away from the civc center WOOHOO) maybe the entire day. I totally get the LESS STRESS the better!! If it affects fibro well hey, it can't hurt!!
@Patti241, HI Patti!! Enjoy your Sunday!
@Kurtize, OH JOYCE!! OOHHHH MY 94!! Nooo TY TY TY!!! LOL Oh my!!0 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 -today i think it got up to 78 but felt a lot warmer. My exercise was moving bags of mulch for hubby! Maybe tomorrow i'll run but i think i have more bags of mulch (really good deal on it-only this weekend)
@Tabatha_Cain -thx! No MRI yet-got it in a week0 -
Diane: hi. I will try to enjoy it0

@Patti241 What did you do today? I had a convention this weekend, it was FANTASTIC!! I feel so uplifted and wonderful. This is what makes my life worth the while. Monday I plan onbeing a SLUG as I recover from such a busy weekend. Well, I'll exercise of course, and clean the house, but that's ALL I am planning on. Oh and snuggling with the 2 cats. LOL
@Kurtize, HAPPY to see you!! I know the storms last night in TX were hard hitting!! Oh my!!! I love that quote. If you aim to low it's to low, aim to high great target!! Not all arrows reach the target and that's OKAY we keep on trying. Its why there are so many arrows when practice shooting them!! I did that as a kid, it was actually very fun!! Math easily comes into play!0 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday. It is weird not going to work today. I think at this point I don't really want to go to my current job. Especially tomorrow. I want to go to my new job. I am excited to start my new job on June 10th. That makes me really happy to think about.
@Kurtize - Thank you. I am really excited about the new job.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Joe and I went on a motorcycle ride on Saturday, yesterday because it was looking like it was going to rain we actually just did some door dashing, and today I am not sure what we are going to do. It is suppose to be chilly out today. So I don't think we are going to do much of anything. I swear that we were told the weather was supposed to be super nice for this weekend. I feel we got lied to.
@bookieNJ - Good luck with the MRI. I hope they can figure out what is going on with her knee.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.
