@Tabatha_Cain, I hope today you both got to do a motorcycle ride tonight, or will soon!! How did doordash go? Is it better during the day when offices are open? Today was a busy day for me!! We had a pot luck here (I made mac and cheese with bacon) had to RUN back home (LOL Okay I took the elevator, it's a figure of speech! LOL though it did feel that way!) to call the person I do on Mondays. I joined a program for those who are shut ins, they do not have anyone in their lives on any regular basis. I call her each week to see how she is. And if she needs something I let my supervisor know. She's a fun person with a wild background in that her work was very unusual for a woman in our time. I enjoy listening to her. I was told she didn't talk much, LOL YES SHE DOES!! But, I enjoy her. After that we went back up to visit our friend in the hospital who has pneumonia, he's also going through chemo and has heart issues. He's such a fighter!! I can't I'd fight that hard, but he sure is. AMAZING person!
@aalley5 , Aww that was sweet of you!! Hope your day has gone well!

I hope you all are having a good morning. Today is Tuesday and well today I am a bit nervous. I have a job shadow today and well I am worried. Joe has given me pointers and I will see how it goes. Joe has done job shadowing before so I am hoping it helps. So we will see if this is a job that I will want to do and see if they want to add me to their team. We will see. I am hopeful.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Our motorcycle ride will be tonight. Doordash was decent during the day yesterday. I made 84.50 for 3 hours and 20 minutes worth of work. So not too bad. That is awesome that you joined that program. I am sure those people love having someone to talk to.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.

@Tabatha_Cain I have never heard of job shadowing. Was it it your anniversary, wow time goes by fast, I remember the wedding pictures. Happy Anniversary if it was.
Hot here, not much going on. Hope you all have a great day.

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and well it is going to be a good day. Yesterday was my job shadowing and it went great. I should hear something in the next week or so. I also went home and applied for more jobs. So we will see how it goes. I want to have lots of choices and I have another job interview tomorrow.
@Kurtize - Job shadowing is where you sit and watch the job you will be doing be done by someone else. You watch them to get a good feel for the job to see if it is something you are able to learn and that looks like something you would be good with doing. Yes Monday was our 1 year anniversary. It is crazy how fast a year went.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

@Tabatha_Cain thank you for explaining that to me. That is very interesting.
Not much new here except another hot day, 101. Kayla and I did get out early this morning and then it was 70. Hugs all have a great rest of the day.0 -
@Tabatha_Cain , I got a new phone yesterday that was EXHAUSTING TO THE MAX!! Though most things transferred over, not all of it did, plus it took over 2 hours to get the paperwork done and to GET RID OF SPECTRUM for phone service, back to US Cellular! PHEW!!! WOW Tabatha, your doordash on Tuesday was really good!!! Do you think over time this could be a nitch for you? Awww thanks!! I do enjoy the phone pal program!! You are working hard for a job, so happy you didn't go back to AAA! They were NOT nice to you, we are THOUGH!! 😁
@Kurtize , It got hot here too!! I am OVER THIS!!0 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and I have another job interview this morning at 10 am. Today is also Joe's Birthday. I am super excited for that. I do have to get him something for his birthday. I am not sure what though. I will have to figure it out. I am definitely getting him a card. Today after my interview I will be doordashing. I am hoping it goes well.
@Kurtize - I am glad you and Kayla were able to get out this morning and get that walk in. 70 is way better than 100. The heat is definitely no fun. We were in it last week.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - It is exhausting getting a new phone service. I am glad most things transferred over for you. I do think Door dash is something I love to do. I am really glad I did not go back to AAA also. Although I am a bit concerned on bills the next couple of weeks.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.
Tabatha0 -
Happy Thankful Thursday all. It is only 92 today. Kayla and I went for our walk at 8 am it was 70 and muggy. Rained last night around 11 pm. Other than that nothing new.
Hugs and love

@Tabatha_Cain , How did doordash go today? And the interview? No doubt you found something for Joe, some of the best things we can get for others, are low to no cost, one biggie is our time, and love with respect. But, it's also nice to do other things as we can. Hopefully, money wise it'll work out well for you in the end.
@Kurtize, Oh my on "only 92" YIKES!!! Right now it's 67 going down to 51, I had my windows open today (hit 80). HANG ON JOYCE WINTAH IS COMING!! WOOHOO!! Hehehehe!!0 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and it is Joe's last day at his current job and then Monday he starts his new job. Today I was asked to come meet the staff of the Endocrinology office I interviewed with this past week. Joe says that is not normal. They don't usually do that so they must be stuck between a few applicants and they want to see how everyone interacts. So I will be there at 10 am with bells and whistles on. Trying my best not to show my autistic side and be normal, or show my ADHD. Which I was just diagnosed with. Isn't that fun. I am pretty nervous.
@Kurtize - So glad you got a walk in at 8 am. You would think the rain would cool it down a bit. Sorry you were at 92 yesterday.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Doordash did not happen yesterday. You have to put yourself on the schedule and I was not able to get on the schedule. When that happens you have to wait until your area gets so busy they need more dashers. That did not happen yesterday so I was not able to door dash. Today if that does not happen I will just start doing Insta Cart because i have to make some more money this week. Today I will be spending $400 on brakes for my car. Then Saturday I will be putting the new brakes on. I am so glad I can do some mechanical stuff and Joe will definitely be there too. Otherwise the shop wants 1300 to do all 4 sets of brakes. I just cannot afford that. I did do something simple for Joe. I got him ice cream from his favorite restaurant. So he got Chocolate ice cream with brownie pieces, and cookie dough pieces and chocolate syrup. He was so happy and it only cost me $5. We rarely get treats since we are on a working with our lifestyle change.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.

@Tabatha_Cain , WOW on putting on your own brakes!! My GD other did that and I was so impressed!! WTG on learning and doing such things!! WTG!! I hope you were able to earn $$ today. I really like my Endo's office!! Everyone is welcoming and happy, it's nice to walk in there. It'd be nice for you to find something that you like, and they you! For you to be as appreciated at work as you are here!! TY TY TY so much for being the BH on Fit Force!!
@Aalley5 are you having a fun weekend? I am having friends over (2 or 3 or even 4. LOL I'll not know til tomorrow comes. One of them does not feel well. Another one wants to come, she's just not sure how it'll work out for her. But I was really having a friend over to watch the convention in May, I have a link to it, the others heard and wanted to join. I am okay with just the 1 friend). Today was crazy on exercise! YO! I got in over 120 mins!1 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday and it is going to be an interesting day. We might get thunderstorms for a bit this morning and then it should clear up this afternoon. I have to work on my brakes if I get the tools from Joe's Dad. We definitely need those tools. We don't have the tools. I have some of them, but Joe's Dad has the clamp I need and the 7mm hex bit that I also need for the brakes. So he is going to bring that stuff to me so I can get my brakes done today. That will be fun. I will have to sit on something to keep my butt from getting wet from the rain.
@aalley5 - I actually think it went pretty good. She said I should know something next week. So I am excited to hear.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. My youngest child's Dad taught me to do some stuff. I helped him whenever he would do brakes so I am sure I could do it on my own. Plus I watched a video so not too terribly bad. You know I really love helping with the weigh ins. I really do. It is so fun.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday
Tabatha1 -
Great news @Dianedoessmiles1! My weekend isn't so good. My brother had another heart attack. Apparently the stint they put in last week failed. He's back in the hospital. It weighs heavy on my mind.
I made some cards and took a swim and a short walk today.
I posted a few of them on my blogspot.

@Tabatha_Cain how did the brake job go? That'd be fun when i was a wee bit younger or before the heart failure. YUP INDEED it would be!! I LOVE taking things apart and putting them back together again. LOLOL I am not your average gal!!! I'm the IT person around here (over 90 units) word gets around, but I am selective on who I'll help. LOL It's a 55 plus so my first question is "Do you know where your remote is for the TV that goes to your TV, not just the cable remote?" Phones, tablets and computers "Do you have ALL of your passwords?" "OH YES!" "Ok please try these ones, once they work and you can get into your email, account etc call me." LOLOLOL I've learned many who are elderly DO NOT HAVE A CLUE because a child/etc set their devices up for them. AND THEY THINK I CAN GUESS THE PW!! LOLOLOL!!! Oh MY!! Last night I helped the 91 year old man, he has been so HAPPY he's dancing!! LOVE THAT!! Was the ground wet?
@Aalley5, Oh hon!! I AM SO SORRY!!! I have 4 brothers (1 doesn't contact any of us, no clue why) the youngest is a druggie, but I still of course, deeply love him, but I do not deal with him (he always steals from me and the others and gets angry we have things, he doesn't have (WELL DUH WORK CHILD!) but the other 2 I do. More so the older one. I know at some point (We are in our 60s and 70s) that day will come that I'll start losing them or them me. My heart goes out to you very much so hon. It is scary!! They are our first friends, and frienemies (LOL Friends and at times enemies) from the time we are born and they are if after us. I can't imagine that day, and I DO NOT WANT TOO! Do you live around him? We are mostly scattered.0 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and Joe and I are in person this morning at church. We are so sore from yesterday. We worked on the Balloon Festival. We are helpers to Joe's Dad who is a master electrician and works on the generators for the food trucks and the Carnival every years. So Joe and I ran these 50lb cables from the generators to each food truck yesterday. I could not lift the cables barely so Joe carried them and then he would hand me one end and I would drag the cable while he unraveled it from the generator to the food truck. We must have done that for 20 or so cables. Then we came home and did the brakes on the car. We were so sore we could only get the front brakes done, but we can get the back ones done today.
@aalley5 - I am so sorry. I know several people who have had stents put in, but never heard of one failing. Although they do tell you that it is possible. I am praying for your brother.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - It went great. Exactly as I thought it would. It ended up that I do not need the rotors on the front. They were not grooved or dug up and the pads had really even wear on them. So no issues there. The back brakes were did not do yet. I was exhausted from the hard days work before the brakes. My husband is the IT tech in our family. I don't mind getting dirty greasy. My husband is a princess. He does not like dirt or grease, but he helped like a champ on the brakes. We make a great team him and I.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.
Tabatha1 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Thanks, no, he lives in Wisconsin. We just saw him when we were there this summer.
@Tabatha_Cain - Thank you!0 -
Today was the last day of the 30 mile walk for the American Cancer Society walk your dog in June challenge. Kayla and I walked 23.8 took 4 days off and raised $75.00. All in all happy because it got me walking and since it is so warm here getting up early and getting in gear.1

@kurtize - That's great you were inspired to walk with you pup and raise money for a great cause! Thank you!
New blog today, I've been busy making cards. My Blogspot0 -
@Tabatha_Cain , WOOHOO on looking at the brakes!! WTG!! I am sure they are AWESOME NOW! What a great skill to have. WOW on the cables being that heavy, but that makes sense they need to be. I've stepped on those as have MANY others. I've seen vehicles travel over it. Hopefully you both got to rest up and not so sore today.
@Aalley5, Oh hon, my family is scattered also. I am glad you saw him a bit ago. I SHOULD fly out to Kansas to see a brother, he's older, only by 5 years, but the last time I saw him on zoom he looks like crap. I am not sure I wanna to see that, I say that so lovingly. He's also like a Dad to me, and it hurts so much to watch him go downhill. I love him so deeply, thankfully we say that to each other when we talk. I'll call him next week when I am with the family. He'll love hearing them.
@Kurtize, WOOHOO Nice job on the walk!! LOVE WALKING!!! I love our team walking challenge!! TY TY TY for doing that. Others may not know @Kurtize is now our NEW PSA (ML) on the PS4L!! She was a FA (FLight Attendance Was EL Extra Leader). WOOHOO Joyce on the PROMOTION!! We lost our Captain and a new one is there. (LOL I was the Captain, I've stepped down to regular member) so sorry @Tabatha_Cain , but PS4L LOL STILL PLANS on being the #1 team.0 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and it is going to be a rough day. My body is so so sore. Not only did we work hard on Saturday for the Balloon festival and I was already hurting from that then we jumped on the motorcycle and did an hour long trip to church. Which since the motorcycle is a sports bike there is no back rest so I use my arms and core to keep myself on the bike. My arms and core are so sore. I think I may be taking a muscle relaxer today. Also I have a giant bruise on my ankle from dropping a wrench and it bouncing off my ankle. So that is swelling and bruised. But does not hurt so I know it is all ok. Today Joe starts his new job and will be working from home, but only for today. Then tomorrow he has to go in.
@Kurtize - That is good. Way to go. Earning for the Cancer society is a good thing and you get exercise out of it and a good start to a habit.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Oh we rode the motorcycle to church yesterday and home. My body hurts to bad to even think about moving today. So I am gonna have to take a break from working out. I may have to take a muscle relaxer today as well. Yes those cables are massive. I wish I had grabbed a photo of us working on them.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

@Tabatha_Cain, I always remind myself when I overdo like that "OH! I EARNED this pain!" in a very good way!! Hey you worked hard!! It's awesome!! I try to think someday I can work out well again, and get some of those muscles back!! On the Step challenge on the PS4L team (many have one) I started at 2,100 steps a day and that WAS a challenge for me (it's so low for many, but it wasn't for me!) I am now at 3,800 and come the summah challenge it'll be 4,000 a day!! BUT right now I am around 4500 or more a day!! YO!!! I don't know if I can maintain that. I know we both have fibro, and I have so much more, I slowly started to add more to my steps. I am often so tired I totally CRASH, but I still try hard. Of course, i am not working and probably can't again. Actually I've taken my retirement now.
@Kurtize, and WOOHOO July will be so much FUN!! OFF WE'LL BE AGAIN on another challenge! MY FIRST in 13 years as a regular member!! I am thinking "What havoc can I create?" LOLOLOLOLOL Hey!! GF!! TY for helping to make this happen!! I have 100% confidence in you all!

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today Joe starts in person at his new job. He will be at the main hospital today and that is only 27 minutes from home. So not too bad. I am hoping to get a job offer today. It would be nice if I did. I really need one and soon.
@Kurtize - Thank you. I really hope July is an amazing month for everyone.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I had that fibro exhaustion yesterday. I ended up having to take a nap because I just could not focus or stay awake. I still have a headache today from being so exhausted. Hard thing is I take a migraine medication that is supposed to stop the headaches because I get them alot. So I am not sure if I need a med adjustment or not. The headaches sit right behind my right eye. Just like my migraines. I also get maybe 3000-4000 steps a day. So I get it.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday

Good morning everyone!
I'm working hard and trying to keep hydrated. This week is my fouth for drinking 100 oz a day.

Good afternoon, happy Tuesday. I started a new walk with the Conqueror Challenge virtual walks, North Coast 500 . Here is linkhttps://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10891931/joyces-walking-adventures#latest1

@Tabatha_Cain Did Joe enjoy the job today? I hope you find one soon also. It'll take off the stress you are under. I have at least a double, or more so triple BAMBO with the exhaustion, I've learned it happens, and I have the luxury of honoring it. Of course either or both Izzy and Oscar do encourage a nap. LOL THE BUMS!! They are both experts at it (being cats and all!). It does help me to honor it or the next day(s) will be worse. So sorry about the migraines had them for awhile they are the PITS!!! Ocular ones more so!
@Aalley5, careful with to much water, but if you are at all thirsty it's a good gauge. Of course when we are thirsty we are already a tiny bit dehydrated, but at that point it's easy enough to correct. The color pee chart is also helpful on knowing if we need more water, I often put this up when we have the water challenge for members to know. Here it is if anyone is interested:
@Kurtize, soon we'll be buying new sneakers!!1 -
Yes, too much water is not good if the kidneys have issues. I'm good with 100 oz a day when I'm home. It's harder to do otherwise.0

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be a good day. Joe enjoyed his first in person day even though they are in a building where there are no patients. Just classrooms and the Tech building. Yesterday he started learning how to use their system. He really enjoys learning things.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Joe had a good day yesterday. I ended up napping yesterday to get rid of the headache. I honestly needed it because today so far there is no headache. It worked. My cats definitely encourage napping all the time.
@Kurtize - I cannot wait to read the new journey.
@aalley5 - I have a hard time drinking water no matter what. I hate the taste of plain water. Not sure why I grew up drinking from a hose, but I don't like water. So I have to add flavor.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Good afternoon all; hope your day is going well. Kayla went to a new groomer, they did a great job. I also got my hair cut, very, very short. It rained quite a bit last night and this morning, but sun is out now and its 89 outside. The rain always cools the weather down. Tomorrow they are going to have (weather permitting), decorated golf club car parade here at the park. I saw some people have gone all out with decorations The decorations are patriotic. They are also having a pot luck. We aren't going to the pot luck. Don has a thing about eating other people's food that he doesn't know.
Have a happy 4th those that celebrate
