    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and I think it is going to be a great. I am sure it will be busy today. At least I am hoping work will be decently busy. IT would be nice. Yesterday was so slow and boring. I did though have some travel stuff to work on. I quoted someone for Disney. We will see they were not happy with the pricing.

    @Kurtize - That looks amazing. Looks like you had a great time.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.

    HI ALL!! I/ going to slowly come back in. My throat is super super hurting, but it would be. The scar there is ugly looking, but it'll heal. Hopefully, this my turning point!!

    @Tabatha_Cain Hope work went well. I imagine any trips people are CRINGING at prices!! We booked ours by ourselves for the 30th this month (Tuesday) and are quickly back on the 2nd! Only 2 nights in the Inn for 2 rooms and it's only 90 a night per room!! Normally 160 a night, but we got a special discount. We were going to rent a car, but decided a friend has a Honda CRV which has plenty of room we'll be fine. We will be eating out most of the time. I will look on the menu's for smaller portions.
    @Patti241, hope you slept well!
    @Kurtize today is Saturday eve. LOLOLOL!!

    Good Evening Airport Friends:

    I hope you all are doing well this evening. Today Joe and I went and worked in his parents Pole Barn for 5 hours. I wish I could count all that exercise. My Health app went crazy today. So much fitness time. I can only track 120 minutes though. So I did. We got so much cleaned out of the Pole Barn at his parents house. We took 2 couches, a dishwasher, a computer chair, and 10 bags of clothes that were all bad to the side of the road for bulk trash pick up for them on Monday. We also packed my car with some more of Joe's history. We are starting to make progress and bring all his stuff home finally and make this feel more like his home. I want him to have his things here. That is important. We are gonna be here for a couple of years and I want him to know this is his space too. Just because I own it doesn't mean it isn't ours. So we packed my car full of some more of his things. We almost have it all.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Well when you take a family of 7 and you want to go to Disney in Florida and you need, flights, car rental, hotel on Disney property and tickets to get into the park that is expensive. For 4 people I sent last year it was $4,208.00 So imagine sending 7. Way way more because they all wanted to share a suite and they all wanted express passes so they did not have to wait in line for rides. So it was way more expensive. It was almost $14,000. Yeah crazy expensive. I don't see how they are going to get it cheaper when I was right on the Disney website for all of this stuff

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday evening.

    @Tabatha_Cain WOW!! That was a super busy day!! BUT COOL that you can do stuff like this!! WOW that a family would pay so much, but than again. I am joining my extended family in July at an ABNB which has 9 bedrooms, the cost is YO! But it has everything we could ever want, and is a part of the country club. I hope if the person were talking to, decides to have it done through you all s/he gets a hold of YOU!

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and Joe and I are relaxing some of the day since busting our butts yesterday. We are going to do some Door Dash and some other things today, but I am glad we are able to spend it at home instead of at his parents house.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes we did do a lot yesterday. I too hope they call me to get their reservation set up. The Grandma was not too happy about the cost and felt she could get it cheaper, but she doesn't realize Disney has a deal with AAA and they get a bit of a discount for booking through us as well as the rental cars. So that is definitely a thing. I am not sure she will be able to get it cheaper. We will see if she calls back.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

    Good afternoon all, wishing you a happy and blessed day. Didn't do much, just washed clothes, folded and put away. Today is my rest day. I hit another local spot on my Western trail walk.

    @Tabatha_Cain, well if the person doesn't realize it's the best deal there is before she goes, likely she'll realize it later!! Glad you both got to enjoy the day. Hope the dashing was good!
    @Patti241 today it was lovely up here!! I know I was outside though not for long, I do not remember the wind being totally out of control but it may of been!!
    @Kurtize , WOW!! It'd be so much fun to go to Owen Point!! PRETTY!! TY TY and CONGRATS on the milestone!

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and it is going to be a great week. We are going to be productive and get our exercise in. We are going to do great with meals and all that jazz. That is my hope for the group this week. Today after work Joe and I will be Door Dashing. It is going to be a slow evening since Door Dash is not too busy on Monday's and Tuesday's but it will be a good start to the week. So there is that.

    @Kurtize - Way to go on the Western Trail Stop. I love the photos they provide. They are awesome.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. It was a good day. We had a good afternoon.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

    @Tabatha_Cain , Sure hope today was very good for you!! Yesterday I WAY OVER DID IT!! Today I didn't. I did have to run 1 errand, a friend picked me up, helped me with it and back home! WOOHOO!! Now to catch up on the computer, and I'd like 600 more steps by midnight, that should be easy enough. Hope the dashing went very well!
    @Patti241, Hope you enjoyed the day?
    @Kurtize, NICE JOB Joyce!! I had mine cut so short a few years ago, I've not had it cut since! Hope you enjoy the freedom of it! Short hair is easier (usually) to deal with. WOOHOO on the walk!

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday and it is going to be another amazing day. Today I will be dashing again after work, but I don't mind that. Mondays and Tuesdays are not super busy with door dash orders so I can take it easier and not have to rush to do my deliveries. It is more laid back. That is always a good thing. I went to the chiropractor yesterday and she said it was the best adjustment we have had to date and she was really pleased with my progress. I can definitely tell my back is a little looser and not tight and angry all the time. It is really helping my pain. Today I have a credit card huddle at work. We talk about different ways we can get people to apply for our credit cards. I need 2 to be up to date. I need one for March and one for this month. So I am a bit behind, but I am sure I will get there. I just need to start asking again.

    @Kurtize - That is awesome. I loved when I cut my hair really short. It was great. Now I am ready for the long hair again so I am growing it out, and have been since I got engaged in October of 2022. It seems to be taking forever.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - It was a pretty decent day yesterday. Dashing was good as well. Sorry you overdid it. Glad you were able to slow down.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday

    Hello team!
    Yesterday was a glorious day. Hubby and I were off work for Patriot's Day - a Massachusetts only holiday. The weather was close to 70 and sunny.
    I am following a fitness calendar this month so I did my workout first and then we went to a local pond and walked outside. It was great. I love the walkways there (some dirt) as most are large enough for 2-3 people to pass at a time.
    Today was back to work. It wasn't great but since I'm in the retirement countdown, it makes the time go by faster.
    Have a great evening!

    @Tabatha_Cain , Glad dashing went well!! WOOHOO hope it did tonight also. That's GREAT NEWS about your back!! I know I won't apply for a new card mostly because when one does DOWN goes the credit score. Do you all offer one to help if they are in debt to consolidate their cards etc into one at a lower interest rate? I keep hearing so many are living on their cards, and can't pay them off. Thankfully I learned years ago, if I can't afford it, I do not needit. But for many now, it's to barely meet their basic needs.
    @Patti241, how are you doing with the freggies?
    @Kurtize, WOW Joyce, it takes a strong person to carry off a short haircut and YOU DO!! NICE!
    @Lopeyp ,,, Ahhhhh Maine used to be a part of MA eons ago, we also have Patriots day. I used to work for the city of Portland (Social Services handing out benefits) LOL I swear we had more days OFF than we worked!! But we worked so hard when we were open. Of course schools, banks and government had the day off yesterday. Glad you were able to take advantage of it. Nice!! How nice with the fitness calendar!! COOL idea!!

    Today I have to take care of myself with NO activity!! I need to remember I just had surgery 5 days ago, it takes time to heal. When you can't lift anything over 10 lbs for 2 weeks, it means I need to allow myself to heal. I have to take it easier for myself.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and Joe and I have Online Life Group tonight so no Door Dashing tonight. I am glad also. I think I need a break. I feel like I am getting run down again. So it is time to relax. Today at work I am hoping to get some memberships. I need to get those going. I am a bit behind. I am sure I will catch up though. If we are slow today I am going to see if I can go walking down the plaza and try to talk to some of the businesses about signing people up for AAA memberships. I think that would be a good option today. I wanna get that done.

    @Kurtize - I love your haircut. You look so cute. It really suits you.
    @Lopeyp - That sounds like a wonderful day off. I would say it does make it easier going back to work when you have an end date countdown. I so need to follow a fitness calendar. I think it would really help me.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - We do not offer that, but our cashback is pretty great. 4% for the first 6 months and then 3% on everyday spending, 2% on travel and insurance, and 1% on everything else. Which I think means like utility bills and stuff. I do believe the rate on the credit card depends on your credit score. So not really horrible. Yes, no activity for you. Give yourself time to relax and heal,

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

    Well, it's taken me a while to get through all the posts from Saturday and before! I was called off-island for the weekend and just got back, so I feel like I'm 3 weeks behind instead of 3 days!
    All is well here - rainy week ahead, but we need the rain so I don't complain. Makes for great sunsets over the ocean! Getting a Lomilomi massage this afternoon to help ease my back pain. I manage to get a massage every 2 weeks. I get to the gym 3 times a week, too. At my age (almost 90) I need all the physical help I can get!
    Be sure to check out "Daily Challenges" that I manage under Discussions. Every day (almost) I put in some short challenge that is meant to be fun, not a chore!

    Good afternoon all, thank you for nice compliments on hair cut. It is another nice day here, I cleaned bathrooms today and washed clothes and sheets. Tomorrow morning I go see the vascular specialist. Hopefully the problem isn't serious. Our son in law came home from hospital yesterday. He has a long way to go. In the past 15 months he has lost 60 lbs and has had constant diarrhea. He has gotten 2 different kinds of bacteria in his system that is destroying all his good bacteria and stopping his body from fighting anything off. We are glad he is home and praying recovery will continue. Other than that nothing new here. Have a great rest of your day. Hugs and blessings.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and it is going to be a rough day. I am super tired. I just want to sleep, my back is hurting pretty bad today. I am taking my meds but I am not seeing a lot of relief as far as the pain. I get random pains all the time. That would probably be the Fibromyalgia. It also makes me super tired. I really hate being so tired all the time.

    @Kurtize - So glad your son in law is home. It can really be rough on the body when you have bacteria in your gut causing havoc. I hope you have a good visit with the vascular specialist.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday

    @cory17, @Lavalily is on the Tenancious Grters team. I am not sure which team you are on. Each team tends to have many simaliar challenges on their team. Such as I am on Positively Strong 4 Life, we as a team pick a trail to walk as a team. Many teams have a "challenge" such as a step challenge etc. Happy to answer any questions. These in general are located per team under the Discussion feeds and vary by name per team.

    @Tabatha_Cain , I too HATE fibro!! It plays so many nasty tricks on us!! For the pain do you do gentle stretching? On youtube and more you can find stretches specifically for fibro. You can go onto youtube and type in Stretches for Fibromyalgia here's one that's gentle and ahhhhh! I also use biofreeze A LOT!! It's my GO TO! For others ben gay or icy hot etc etc. I also sleep with a heating pad it sets me up for a better next day. Its the brain fog that gets me the most, but I also had a brain aneursym that they found THANKFULLY before it burst. They put a stent in behind my left eye the brain HATES to be played with. Hope these help.

    @Patti241, LOL As you remember from being on the same team I AM SO NOT A FREGGIE PERSON!! YET for the week so far I have eaten 21 of them for the 42 points!! OH MY!!

    SORRY I hadn't replied yesterday. As you all know I am recoving from surgery. The scar is looking AMAZING though!! Now for my levels to adjust and they will!! WOOHOO on the 30th I leave for a FAST TRIP to NY!! It's a 600 mile drive there, we are doing a tour we've been looking forward to on Weds, and turning around and coming home on Thurs!! YO!!! My body needs to get itself TOGETHER In only 12 days!

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and I am so happy for the weekend. It is going to be great. I know it will be. I am going to do as much as I can today to get some memberships. I think that will be good. I am really trying to get them. I have a co worker out on PTO today and possibly one calling in. We will see how that goes. She likes to randomly call in on Fridays and when she is expected to do actual work she likes to pretend to be sick and go home early.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I have a heated mattress pad that I turn on every night. It does help so very much. I am supposed to do some stretches I just was not sure when I would find the time to do them. Oh the brain fog is horrible. It is so so bad sometimes. Also for me the fatigue is rough. Every couple of days I feel like I need a nap mid day. Just take time and let your body heal so that you can be all ready to go for your trip at the end of the month. You can do it.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.
