Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and we have church today. We will be watching it online. I also have life group tonight. So that will be fun. I love life group. Today I am going to try and do some doordash. I did not do any of that yesterday and I need to earn some more money. Just to make sure that we have enough to cover everything. We had to buy some fencing for the garden as my dogs were curious and kept walking through the area and I was freaking out because I did not want them to trample the new baby plants. We have like 6 watermelon plants, 3 tomato plants, 3 green pepper plants, 5 broccoli plants, 4 zucchini plants, and then we are planting carrots today, oh and like 4 cucumber plants. So we are actually going a bit big for our first gardent. We did have some cauliflower but I don't think they sprouted and we also had canteloupe but the sprouted and then dried up and died even though I was watering them. So I am not sure what happened with those. I could have over watered them. I am still learning gardens so don't judge please.
@Kurtize - I am glad you did not get any rain or thunder.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - The garden went great. We definitely got it planted and now I have another thing to talk to the doctor about. When I get up from the sitting on the ground or bending over and I stand up my head goes fuzzy, things go a bit black, and I feel dizzy and like I am going to fall over. Not sure why this happens but it does not happen when I am sitting in a chair. We also got the security camera up and running. So now we can go get the motorcycle sometime today.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and I am hoping it will be a good day. I am feeling pretty good even though I worked my garden this weekend. I am glad it did not affect me too much. We also went shopping with my Mom and we helped her out with some stuff. Next weekend we are thinking of going to Joe's parents for Sunday and then come home Monday. Since we don't have work due to Memorial Day we can take the extra time. Joe finished all his school work for the week on Sunday morning. So he has nothing else due until the new week starts on Tuesday. I am so proud of him. Right now he is running like a 96% for his first week. He is doing great. Although he was pretty close to a 4.0 student in high school. That is a perfect score for high school. So I know he can do it.
@Kurtize - We are pretty close in temp to you yesterday. We hit 88 yesterday, but I don't feel like we really had a breeze. It was really just a lot of heat.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday and well after work today I have a job interview. I am a bit nervous and a bit not nervous as well I did not ask for this job interview. They reached out to me to see if I would be available for a 15 minute phone call and then from there asked me to come see their office. So I said yes. I am not sure what position they want me for or anything so we will see. I just know the lady said she wanted to expand her office. So I am going to make sure to take a pad of paper and a pen with me and we will go from there. I will write down all their pay and all their job requirements and all that and discuss it with my husband to see if there is any reason to switch jobs.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Just checking in on you. You have not been on in a couple of days.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.

@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!!!

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.

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
