Today was spent at drs. offices. Had my vascular test, then went for blood tests for dermatologist, then picked up a prescription. It made a long day and even though I didn't do anything, I am tired.

@LaetitiaLouise, HAPPY to have you with us!! Sparks closed August 17, 2021. I am so happy that we relocated over to MFP!! It was not an easy choice between the sites we looked at, but we absolutely wanted it to be international. You'll notice a few big changes, but once you adjust they make sense. To let somone know you've mentioned them if you a @ before name it'll tag them. YOu can put Pictures and GIFs in here!
Ask us any questions and once you get onto your team, continue to ask! Its an easier way to learn.
@Sableness LOLOL Aww POOR Eve!! LOLOL! Oscar and Izzy are fast sleep, I am okay with that!! I hope you are okay after the skin peel? I live in Maine, on the coast and yes we lost electricity as did most others. Hehehehe learned an eon if you reather your power comes on ASAP live near the police/fire station. We are on the same line as they are. I am dealing with a cold now.
@walkintofit so happy to see you again. I had wondered about you!! I am so sorry you've been through so much. Huge, okay MAJOR changes there!!
@Tabatha_Cain TY TY for coming with us from Sparks to MFP and also being a leader with Fit Force, of course, you know ,,we love the competition with you all on Positively Strong 4 Life! I hope you can get the memberships!

@Patti241, HI Patti! We hope you enjoyed the day. MORE RAIN coming for us huh? I know you're down the coast quite a bit (LOL and states! but STILL!! ENOUGH RAIN!! Here in Maine we've had more rain this month than any other March on records!
@Macrat12, WOOHOO CHEERING you on the with exercise! WTG!
@Kurtize, it's great to get that done!! Hopefully you'll not have to go back soon to the Drs!!

@Dianedoessmiles1 So true; our last home was near a major highway, and our power always came back on ASAP. Here, not so much, but we have solar panels and a backup battery to run essentials like the coffee pot!
@walkintofit Love the card you received. Someone gave me a boxed set of cards with that one in it. I still have the pretty box. HUGS
@Tabatha_Cain Hope you meet that quota without stress!
We had a good rain this afternoon, and it’s still dripping. I hope it keeps up. I love the sound of gentle rain at bedtime. For dinner we had salmon, big salads, with mulberries from our backyard tree for yummy dessert. This was day 5, and my poor skin went into overdrive on peel and shed mode. I can’t imagine people having this done on their face. Mine was between my bra line and neck; never again unless urgently medically necessary. I’ve been slathering aloe on it. The lotion I was supposed to use didn’t agree with me.1 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you all are having a good morning. Today is Thursday and it is so weird that the week is going by so quickly. At least that is how I feel. Today is going to be busy. I have an early physical this morning and then my therapy at lunch time. I have to be to work at 8:15 so I am hoping my doctor is on time today. That is something I would love to have happen. I just need her to be on time. I am still working on the memberships, but I know I will get there by the end of the year. I want to get premier performer and I need to bust butt to do that.
@christianaderw - The teams are really motivating. I wish you luck. Have you picked your team yet?
@Kurtize - I feel you. I feel so darn tired some days. Hopefully that bloodwork comes back as you expect it to.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. We love the competition as well. On break though it is nice to be one big team. I miss that part of the breaks. I too hope I get caught up on the memberships.
@Sableness - Thank you. I hope I do to. I am so sorry. I never understood those skin peels. Unless the dermatologist recommended them due to skin cancer risks. Good luck on your healing. Glad you had a gentle rain. Ours was a bit agressive.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

Diane: Yeah we had a lot of rain here yesterday.0

Hi All,
I know tax season has kept me quite busy the last couple of weeks, so I guess I've missed a lot.
I don't see anything about the start of the new challenge, I had it on my calendar for April 6th, is that correct?
If I've missed it, I"m sorry.
Please let me know if I'm still able to participate.
Thanks,0 -

Happy Thankful Thursday, nice day but very, very windy. Don hates the wind. Oh well. Not much new here. Just being lazy, good to get out of system before challenge starts. Hugs all have a great rest of the day.
today's daily inspiration:
As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand
that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives
for which we should be particularly grateful.
They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness --
just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it;
just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength;
the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.

Today's Inspirational quote: "To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try." — Rosa Parks2 -
Hi All!! I just wanted to post a note on our group team thread about our change from 8 weeks to 10 weeks challenge time. I personally loved this longer length of time and that we had shorter interim challenge time & could stay in our own teams between challenges. On Shape Shifters we let everyone know posting was optional during interim time & left up our same posting spaces. AND @gouldsgranite added a new 2 week thread for posting exercise & LTGL. It all went very smoothly & felt great to continue to chat with & support our teammates & friends. Thought it was important to let Lynn @Kaliswalker & Ceri @Ceriously & leader team know my positive experience so far with this change. I loved more time to get to know teammates & to lose weight & more variety of LTGL too. I loved staying with same team & friends in interim challenge. We had a couple of health issues/surgery happenings too & were able to continue support of these teammates. One thing I loved about Sparkpeople that felt like happened with 10 weeks + staying on same team in interim was a sense of continuity & friendship & connection between teammates. I love 💜 this. So thankful for this change & hope we keep it going forward.
Just my 'thoughts'....

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Easter. Happy Easter to those who celebrate. Today is also Sunday. So today we will be with the in laws and we will be in person at church. It has been a while since we were in person at church. I am really hoping since I only have 4 more checks that are garnished that I will be able to get back to in person soon. We are working Door dash to offset some of the garnishment and we are doing really well with that. Today after church we will be with the in laws. We are spending time with the family. I sometimes wish I could spend time with my Mom. I miss spending time with her on the holidays. However my step dad is not a people person and he just smokes pot while company is over. I normally would not have an issue with it because it does not bother me, but my husband does not like being around it. Which is fine. I get that. He works in the medical field and has to be careful with that stuff so he doesn't lose his job, but I do miss hanging with my mother on Easter and Thanksgiving and stuff like that. I really do miss it. I will adjust though.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I have been wondering where you disappeared to. I am glad you are doing ok. Stinks that you ended up with Covid, but glad you are slowly recovering. We do understand being MIA when you are sick.
@HealthyBarb1 - I too loved the longer challenge. I love the challenges and really never want them to end. I have learned to switch between the interim and the actual challenge quickly because that is just what I am used to but I would love just one continual challenge. Although that is really not much of a challenge. I really feel that my group helps me stay accountable and that checking in on a daily basis all the time really helps me achieve my goals.
Well I hope you all have a wonder Sunday or Easter again if you celebrate.

Good morning2

Good afternoon, everyone! It's a beautiful sunny day here today. My daughter says hello to all. My fiance says hello to everyone. He's doing really well. 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. Happy easter 🐰 to all who celebrate it. I'm getting caught up with my laundry this afternoon. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.1

@Tabatha_Cain, it's sad your step father won't stop smoking pot long enough for you all to be together. Have you asked about eating at a restruant so you can still be together? If he really wants to leave while eating (or before/after while sitting there he can go out) and yet, you can still be together. Once expenses go down some. Actually almost every Sunday 4 to 6 of us go out. We've recently decided it's to much money to eat at regular restaurants and going for faster foods, but now I need to also eat much healthier when I do so. THAT CAN BE DONE! I hope you enjoyed today. I am so slowly starting to get better. I am on here again, what a horrible sicness this has been. LOOKING forward to feeling all better!! TY TY TY Tabatha. For the 10 weeks, the short break, didn't give us much time for recruiting new members, still we did AMAZING with it, but the STRESS!!! LOL We'll see what is decided.
TY TY TY to every Winter 5% Member who responded on your team for the 8 or 10 weeks.
@Patti241 HI Patti! Hope you enjoyed the day.
@Cormierannie, do you mind if I throw some stuff in with yours? LOLOL!! Well, we'll wait til I am better, but Oh it'd be so nice to not have to deal with laundry. OOPS OH YEAH!! I rarely do!! A dear friend who cleans professionally does it for me also at a reduced cost. She's precious. Why does do this? Love of course, she has a good heart full of love for many she knows, and OSCAR!! YES OSCAR!! HAHAHAHAHA I get to laughing WAY TO HARD at her and Oscar!! She's half my age, and feels well enough to run around chasing him!! He LOVE CHASE!! LOL Foolish cat even wears out my 6 1/2 almost 7 year old GGS!! That's okay his almost 1 year old brother is getting his feet under him!!2 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday, and it is the first day of April. So April Fool's Day for some people who like to try and fool people. Joe is going into work early today since they have to run all the insurances for patients for the month. This is the one time they allow as much over time as you need to get the job done. So he is definitely taking advantage. Which we really need right now. Yesterday for Easter was pretty good. We loved being back at Church. Joe so loved working the cameras and I loved working with the children. We decided we are going back starting in June so that we can get our lives back to where we want them. Today is going to be a busy day I can tell.
@cormierannie - Sounds like you had a great day. Have you and your fiance set a date for the wedding yet?
@Dianedoessmiles1 - It is sad. They won't eat out because my Mom still does have family members who go over there who don't mind the pot all the time. So my Mom still does cooking for some people. I just miss the old days when I would go there and help all day long with the cooking and clean up afterwards. I just don't get that at Joe's parents. Joe's Dad cooks everything and then I get up to help and he just does it all. He just does not like to have help. Or at least he doesn't say he likes the help and he barely talks to anyone. It is just so weird with Joe's Dad being the one who cooks all the meals. Total roll reversal.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

@Tabatha_Cain , Oh I get that. In my family When you are 13 and a girl (oops by 2days standards!) only if the mother approves, and only mine did lol lol, The girl was invited to join the woman. A huge deal in my book. But then again I would the only one invited. Lol They are many girls cousins. Until you are 16 or 17 now It is a rule of "seen and not heard" As you learn different family dynamics than you ever thought there was! But it is so much fun I loved it and I knew to respect it. I was told to respect it. But I loved it. At 17, 18 I could add to it just not a lot. As I got over a course that trained and I just became another one of the gals. Since my mom died we no longer get together as a family like that unless it's that funerals or weddings and they were very few at all that our age. I cherish the time that we had a cherish the laughter that we had. And a big family secret wthat I don't think they remembered I was there but I remember. I keep it to myself that's where it belongs I was an honor to be there. I'm so sorry that thing to different, on the other hand look how much better your Life is because Joe is in it. We can't have our cake and eat it too. I would like to have my cake and eat it too, but life doesn't work out that way. I hope work goes well today. You were very fortunate and so was I to be raised in a family where cooking and cleaning was about fun, gossip and learning. It was an honor to be there and the fun that was had many do not get that. We have very precious memories that many never got. And I look back at it I have 9 female cousins. Yet, they were never invited to the lololol hen party. Family is weird, but family.
@macrat12, enjoy the day. Nice exercise!0 -
Diane: It was okay.0

Hello all and happy New month. Hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful Easter. Not much new here, the weather is nice. We had appts this morning. Also did some shopping for potting soil and pot for the Gardena tree I ordered and Don got some lumber to make a flower bed. Hope you all have a fun April's fool day and not too many pranks played on you.

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday and it is going to be a great day. Yesterday Joe and I took the day off from Door Dashing so I could get some housework done. I cleaned the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and did some laundry. I was so behind from Easter being on Sunday. The day I usually do my chores. So I had to take an extra day to get things done. I am glad I did though. I really needed that. I did not sleep really well last night. Not sure why. I did sleep, but I don't feel it was restful, but I don't remember waking at all during the night. I feel like I went to sleep and then 20 minutes later I woke up and it was time to get up because the alarms were going off. Ugh the joys of Fibromyalgia. Not getting decent sleep no matter what.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes we do have those memories. I have them from my grandmother's house and at my Mom's house after my grandma passed away. I remember the gossip and the giggles and all that with my aunts and grandma and mom. It was great. I then remember the times I helped my Mom in the kitchen and toward the end started taking over in her kitchen so I could learn as my children were getting older and my Mom wanted to pass along the skills and lessons she was given. It was great. I can now fully prepare a meal for a family of 12. It is a good skill to have. Eventually I will add my grandchildren into the mix and teach them. Joe and I don't have any grandchildren yet, and we are not wanting to start that any time soon, but eventually we will get there.
@Kurtize - Joe and I will hopefully be working in a garden soon. I want to start one this year and I don't think Joe feels we are ready for that. So I am not sure if we will, but I am hopeful.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.
