Margaret - did you get your toilet fixed? Don't think I could give up or cut down on my coffee, I call it my drug of choice. I always feel better when I have several cups. Though these days I've been making "Half-Caff" - A scoop of regular and a scoop of decaf, can't really tell the difference in taste.
Rosie decided she wanted to go outside this morning at 1 AM. So "we" got up, lol. It's a nice sunny day so have a load of laundry hanging out in the breeze, will find a few other outside chores to do then grab a nap.
Alex my landscape/junk hauler guy was supposed to be out here this morning to go over my to-do list but he's still tied up finishing a project. No biggie. I'm not sure if they'll even be able to do much until we have a hard freeze and bushes and trees lose their leaves. Said he'll be here tomorrow.
Make it a super week.

For me I think it was the cup of tea I had around 3pm. Dozed a few minutes but didn't really sleep until I took a nice massaging shower and a few more melatonin at 2:15am , asleep around 2:45, kittens woke me at 6:30 wrestling up against me, dozed off a few minutes then couldn't get back to sleep-
Will be a long day
Dh is taking his mom for her post op so I have the house to myself for at least a few hours.
Checking in here after doing the dishes then I will start on the living room again.

Lanette Still waiting on part.
Taking it easy now. Woken up at 7:00 by Dry wall truck in front of my home. Told him did not order and was hacked best recheck so not stiffed.
When I took DrewB for a walk she was stung by yellow jacket three blocks from home. There was a drinking fountain so I was able to make a mud paste to put it on immediately. I did have to carry her home. Once home I put a cold pack of veggies on it. Now she is resting quietly and I just need to keep an eye on her for an allergic reaction. She did drink some water which is good but did not want to eat!
I am going to take a nap too!5 -
Barbie--DH and I do laundry the same as you. He washes and drys then put in baskets and I fold and put away every thing but his shirts and pants, he put them away after I fold them.
Tracey--Love the cards. You are well loved.
Allie--Sending prayers and hugs for today.
Had lunch with my new person and went over the schedule. She sounds positive.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE

MFP Weekly Check-In for September 16, 2024
Rita in Roswell, NM - Up 1.4 pounds this week. Started at 186, down to 174 today. All time high was 210 so not to shabby still. I’m on a plateau right now but working to get off it!
Debbie in Napa Valley, CA - 148.0 so down a bit from the last weigh in- Missed last Sunday as I was at mom's. Have a wonderful week.
Sue in WA State - Lost 2 lbs I had gained, so staying steady pretty much. I was consistent with exercise last week and added chair yoga. This week I am going to continue working on not eating after dinner.
Lanette SW WA State – continuing to stay at the set-point under 160 lbs. Still averaging over 7000 steps per day and lifting light weights. With the days getting shorter, I’m ready for bed earlier, and moving mealtime up to stop eating at least 2 hours before bed. Cheese, nuts and peanut butter to end supper holds me through the night pretty well.

Carol, my co-workers love TEMU. I am not getting political, but I read a post showing pictures indicating it is a sweatshop. My friends have lovely hair clips and stuff from them, and they are holding up. They shouldn't ask for your email password. There is a video about people's issues with Temu spyware and malware. According to my research, some of Temu's products are subpar at best. If you don't feel comfortable ordering from them, listen to your gut.
Xo,
Mo

I texted with Tracy for a few minutes she is tired and sore..They had to give her a transfusion,because of scare tissue and all.. they took baby A away they didn't want to see her or anything,I asked if they got footprints? They said they would do what they could do.
So the nurses are going over the baby in the nursery and hopefully Tracy is getting some rest.. I will go up tomorrow afternoon.8 -
Sending hugs to you and your family, Allie. What a difficult time!
Baby is lovely.

Guess what i got in the mail!!!!! I love your handwriting by the way ❤️. Thank you so much!5 -
Tracy just texted and told me that they signed the papers for Abbey cremation and the Pastor will say a blessing and they will put her in a christening gown at that point I lost it and broke down..
I have to call the cremation place tomorrow for them to pick her up.. Tracy and Kyle waiting until tomorrow to tell us what they named them..9 -
Allie: She's beautiful~ Big hugs to you! May Tracy and family have many happy days ahead.
Tracey: Belated happy birthday. That card is a keeper. Love the annual photo tradition with Johah. I could see that turning into a scrapbook unto itself.
Annie: For your mom's and other clothes you want out of your house, take a look at Thred Up. They send you a giant bag, with shipping prepaid. They list and sell what they can. They recycle the rest. Easy peasy and you might actually generate a few bucks. I use my online credit for a new piece of jewelry or an impulse purchase. I understand your excitement for the upcoming trip. You deserve a fun time and if a few new outfits helps with that, go for it.
Carol: Look at you go, girl! Proud of you for tackling your cluttering challenge fresh off of surgery and PT. You sound great. Keep it up.
You all are inspiring me with your decluttering. I purged a lot after DH and my DB passed. three years ago. Now, I have a limited number of clothes hangers, so if something new comes in, something else goes out. But, I can definitely benefit from taking another pass at the closet where I kept some of my guys' coats. They are in great shape and I keep thinking they might come in handy in the event I get a house guest from a tropical climate. Ummmm....time to get real. Don't need all of them.
I leave Saturday for Boston where N will pick me up and we will drive to Maine coast. As of last night he hadn't booked a room, but he has been researching options. He has difficulty making decisions, but I know he will get it done and it will be great. If I had been planning this get together, the reservation would have been done 2 months ago, LOL. This will be the 6th Adventure of the Golden Goobers. We might spend a few hours culling photos and jotting down stories to insert into a memory book just for us. 🧡
Night time foot and leg pain is no joke. I'm going to orthopedic on Thursday to get more information about what is going on with the tip of my 3rd toe on left foot. Some days, I can barely tolerate the feeling of the bedsheet on it. I also want to 'benchmark' the arthritis in my knee and hips and discuss future path. Life is too fun to be sidelined with low energy or diminishing mobility. Will fight to keep my vitality and radiant health.
Stay well, friends. Keep looking up. We can do this.

Allie - so glad your beautiful little granddaughter has arrived!! Congrats to the whole family!!
Yes we are waiting for the name - looks like Baby A was Abbey, right? Very sweet that the pastor will say a blessing and she'll have a little christening gown.
I'm tearing up too.

Guess what i got in the mail!!!!! I love your handwriting by the way ❤️. Thank you so much!
Pip - you are a hoot! I write like a mentally unbalanced person most of the time - half cursive, half printing.
What's the count now?

Allie-I logged in just to check on this! Congratulations. Very sad about second twin but they are able to see she is taken care of. Love the baby you have!
Things are still very hectic here. I did get foot MRI this morning-no real update on foreign object. Main finding seems to be "periarticular marrow edema" in a couple of the tarsal metatarsal joints." Getting appointment with doctor. Nearest I can tell is it can be very painful and take quite awhile to resolve. I like when we can give it name so I know it isn't all in my head!
Off to get trash out and work on a report for work.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio8 -
Allie - She's beautiful... Sad and happy tears both, my friend, for all of you.

Hi Ladies. I apologize for the disappearance. I had a busy August and am still trying to recover. Remember our friends that stayed 3 weeks last year? They came back this year. They left just over a week ago. I’m still in recovery mode.
We did manage to all go to Hawaii in the middle of their trip for a week. But, three weeks is a very long time to have one’s schedule disrupted.
I don’t think I’ll agree to that again.
Anyway, being social nonstop for that long exhausts me mentally and physically. But I think I’m recovering.
That said, the mister and I are struggling to communicate. I think it started getting really bad when he started working from home.
And I’m seeing all kinds of medical specialists. I don’t really have anything “wrong” persay, except that stye I had in June has not gone away. So, hopefully the ophthalmologist I see this week will fix it. I got news today that I can get surgery for my deviated septum, but it’ll be elective (in other words, expensive). So, I don’t know if I’ll do it.
And I’ve generally been avoiding the computer as much as possible. With election season here, I just feel healthier if I don’t see all of that junk all the time.
Sending hugs and healing thoughts to all who need them. I’m nowhere near caught up with you all, but hope to stay in better touch now.
Tina in CA10
