Today is sailing along smoothly, so far. Looking forward to the weekend and then vacation next week.
This morning I got a nice surprise when I got on the scale, down half a pound unexpectedly. I'll take it!
We went to my son's senior awards night last night. I raised a nerd athlete. He worked hard. I can't believe he graduates in a little over a week!
Well, this work isn't going to finish itself. Have a great day!

Good morning!
Happy May! Thanks for starting the new thread! Thank you for the birthday wishes too!!
Congrats on the loss @katenkognito! That is great news! Is your son heading to college as well?! How exciting. Congrats on his awards.
Our lunch was nice yesterday. I had the filet and some steamed spinach. I didn't finish it and brought some home. Now just have to figure out when to eat it before we leave on Saturday. LOL
I am totally in vacation mode! Tonight I have a hair appointment after work for a cut and highlights. Looking forward to that. Planning on getting out of work a little before 5pm so I can make to my appointment on time.
My sister and family are excited to see us on Sunday, May 4. I just texted a cousin of mine to see if she and her husband want to drive an hour or so south to come by as well. That will be a nice surprise if she can make it. Been a long time since I have seen her in person!
Not much else going on here. Just need to start cranking out some copies, but I am feeling lazy. LOL
Hope you have a great day! See you soon.

I am absolutely feeling that Friday feeling today. I am dragging myself through to the weekend! Get all packed this weekend, work Monday and then off to Florida! I am definitely going to need it!
@Meghan509 Have a great weekend, safe travels, and a happy birthday!
It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right? LOL

Happy Friday!!
Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean @KateNkognito!
I hope you have a great trip to FL as well! I will be popping in and out sporadically since I am traveling.
Down a little under a pound this week and happy!
Thanks for the birthday wishes! About to do some more packing and then hoping to coast through the rest of the work day!
Have a good day! Safe travels! See you soon!

Well, our travel was utter chaos, but the time at the conference was fun, and we made it back just in time for graduation, so lets call it a win. All the travel time I fasted, so I came home down from when I left. Another win. Now that I am out of all the stress of traveling, I can say we had a good time. However, I won't be flying again.
Have a great week! Be healthy! I am off to nap… I mean do my work! LOL

Hello!
Happy Monday! Back from vacation, grumble grumble! 😌
Been sitting on this page all morning and just now having a moment to post something. Sigh.
Been a busy morning, playing catch up! Oh so many emails…
So sorry to hear about your travel and flight chaos, @KateNkognito! Congrats on the losses too. That is great! So glad you made it back in time for graduation! Congratulations to your kid. 😁
We had a great trip to West Palm Beach. The flights ran on time for us. Thankfully. We were really happy that we took the earlier flight out on that Saturday morning to go down to FL. We were able to get all of our grocery shopping done and we had a low key dinner. Which is good because we had my sister and family arrive on Sunday morning by 10:45am. 😜
The house we had for the AirBnB had an amazing swimming pool! That was the highlight of that house for sure. It had a huge screened in cover that kept ALL the bugs way. The neighborhood was a little meh, but thankfully no issues. The house was clean too, which we appreciated. We got a laugh that they advertise the house as a great option for up to eight people. Kid and dog friendly. There was three bedrooms and three full baths. But, a lot of the cups were broken. Three of the nice coffee cups vs. four, three wine glasses vs. four, not a whole lot of bath and beach towels. NO extra paper products such as TP or paper towels sigh… But, all in all it was a good house.
We ate pretty healthy or at least for breakfast and lunch, which is good. We will weigh in on Friday AM. Fingers crossed!
Hope you have a good day. See you soon.

@Meghan509 I am glad y'all had a good time, even if there weren't enough cups! LOL That sounds really lovely, though. We had a great pool at the hotel that the kids all had a blast playing in. I enjoyed sitting on a chair and watching them while reading a book and having a nice young man bring me sodas. Thanks for the congratulations! He worked really hard in high school and came out at the top of his class. I am a pretty proud mama of both of my boys.
I am applying for another job in my office. It is in a "different department" but I will just keep doing what I am doing and add another thing to what I do. It will also make it easier to occasionally work from home.
I started writing this a while ago and then got distracted a whole bunch of times. I better hit post before I forget and it gets to the end of the day!

Good morning!
I know what you mean @katenkognito about work being "work" yesterday. LOL I was so busy, I forgot to post.
Yesterday was one of those days where I worked right through lunch and stayed until 5:30pm. Just trying to get caught up. Finance was asking for April expenses to be submitted and one of the people I work for was asking for assistance with a project. Now that these two things are done, I can hopefully tackle the rest and finally be somewhat caught up. Sigh…
Good for you for the new job opportunity! I hope it works out for you!! I have to say I LOVE working from home on Mondays and Fridays. It really is nice to not have to worry about a dental or an MD appointment since I can book it on those days and never have to burn a vacation day for these.
Glad you had a nice time in Florida too! Reading a book by the pool is totally my thing!!
I am going to get back to it now. I hope you have a good day! Less crazy, hopefully!! See you soon.

@Meghan509 I hope today goes more smoothly. It is a Wednesday here. Everyone is asking for all the things. And EVERYONE is here.
I don't have much to say today, just trying to chug through my to do list. So far, I have gotten one thing done and been side tracked a bunch of times. 🙄
Have a great day!

Good morning!
Ahhh sounds like you had my day that I had on Tuesday @katenkognito!! Oh so fun! Hope today is MUCH better.
Sounds like everybody comes in on Wednesdays for you. For me that is Tuesdays and Thursdays! Tuesdays being the worst of the three days. Yesterday turned out much better and I feel like I am getting things done and crossing things off my list.
The good news is today is Friday Eve! We got this!
Tomorrow is weigh in day and I am feeling pretty good. Did not go crazy last week and have been eating well this week. BF and I have discovered Chobani Flips to have as healthy desserts! So yummy. And they were on sale this past week at our supermarket. The little things that make me happy. LOL
Hope you have a good day. See you soon!

Today is going better. Thank goodness. Getting things done and people are mostly leaving me alone. Thursdays are the best days. 😊
@Meghan509 I hope your weigh-in goes well tomorrow! I have seen those Chobani yogurts. They look tasty!
Have a great rest of the week! I can't believe that May is halfway over! And that this year is almost halfway through! 😲 Time flies! Have a lovely Friday Eve!

Good morning!
Good, glad that Thursday was better for you @KateNkognito!! Yes, agree that when people leave you alone you can actually get work done. LOL
Weigh in went well! Down 1.6 lbs today! Just shy of the 25 pounds lost milestone which is nice! Clothing does feel more comfortable for sure.
You are right that May is half over and the year is almost half over. Screams!!!
I am so looking forward to the warmer weather and to summer. We have been having a lot of cooler days and rain since we've been back from vacation. Typically I move right in to summer clothing and sandals by this time, but I haven't since the weather has been meh. Memorial Day is right around the corner. Yea!
Speaking of the Chobani Flips, I decided to hit the grocery store one last time last night, while they were still on sale! Bought four more boxes of the four pack multipacks! I told my BF that there are a lot worse things we could be buying. LOL He agrees.
No plans for us this weekend. Might see if I can switch the closets over from winter to summer. Saturday is supposed to be rainy but Sunday should be nice. Maybe we can take a walk!
Hope you have a great day and a nice weekend! See you soon. :)

Well, this day shot right by! I just realized that I only have an hour and a half left and I still have a wee bit more to do. I am taking a brain break.
@Meghan509 Congratulations on the loss!! And on the sale score of the yogurt! (it's the little things that bring joy)
The weather here has been so crazy! One day 90 the next day 60. I wish it would just decide already!
This weekend should be pretty quiet. Next weekend we are going to have a shindig at our house for the long weekend. A bunch of my husband's family is coming over and we are going to grill and make homemade ice cream. It will be a lot of fun!
Must get back to work and finish this last little bit. I also need to make a grocery list for tomorrow and resist the urge to schedule it for pick-up. Have a great weekend!

Well, that was a weekend! We fixed a leaking toilet, the dryer broke, the electric line pulled off the house (you know, the one we paid a lot of money last fall to get properly anchored), and I had to buy a new iron. I need a vacation.
I hope I am the only one that had a wild weekend! Must get my stuff done so that I can learn to do new stuff later today. Fun times!
Have a great week!

Good morning!
Sounds like you have a nice plan for Memorial Day @KateNkognito!! I like it! We have been invited to a friends house for a get together on Sunday, May 25. We are looking forward to it! The weather is looking like it will be clearing up and nice for the long weekend. Fingers crossed!
Yes, crazy weather here too. Been damp, rainy, and meh for a lot of the month. The good news is Saturday was nice when the weather people said it would rain!? LOL Today is beautiful too. Wednesday and Thursday should be rainy.
So this past Friday after work, we rejoined our local gym! We are excited! Who ARE we?! LOL Went to the gym for some walking on both Saturday and Sunday. Planning to head over there mid day today if possible for a little walk on the treadmill. We crunched the numbers and decided it was worth it to join. The last time we were there was in the summer of 2021. I had a very bad experience with one of the personal trainers there. She tried to get us to sign up for some outrageously expensive personal training sessions and I told her no thanks. She proceeded to get rude and obnoxious. Unfortunately she is still a trainer at our location so if I see her I plan to ignore her. I just don't like conflict… 😔
Hope you had a nice weekend. Five working days and then we have a holiday! We got this. See you soon.

Looks like we posted at the same time! Oh no, sorry about the crazy weekend @katenkognito! Sending hugs! Five days and we have a holiday! LOL You got this.
Our weekend was good and low key. Aside from going to the gym, we relaxed! See you soon!

This week has been a long month.
@Meghan509 Well done on re-joining the gym! I hope the rude lady steps on a Lego in wet socks!
Looks like we are going to get a new washer and dryer. Fun times. Learning how to do the things for the new job. Crazy weather here. I am just waiting for the weekend!
Have a great rest of the week!

Hello!
Thanks @KateNkognito we are excited about the gym! Who knew gyms could be exciting! LOL. Hope your crazy week gets better! Congrats on the new washer and dryer!
So yesterday, I went over to the gym midday during lunch to walk on the treadmill and I saw the rude trainer! Felt kind of like karma, but she didn't look good. She had put on some weight (odd for a personal trainer and someone "obsessed" with fitness) and was walking gingerly like she may have had some sort of injury or something. She just didn't look good. I straight up ignored her. She was standing by the front desk as I was leaving and I looked the other way. She probably doesn't even remember how she treated me. :(
Today I am in the office and people are in but not annoying me, which is nice. LOL Feels weird that this weekend is Memorial Day weekend when our weather is still so odd. It is still cold at night and last night our heat came back on!! It was on again this morning as I was getting ready. UGH. I need summer! LOL
Hope you have a good day. See you soon.

Good morning!
A pretty quiet Wednesday happening here.
Traffic was not too bad. It did help that I left on time. :)
Our weather here is still crappy. Cloudy and cool and supposed to rain today and tomorrow. For tomorrow they said we should expect a Nor'easter! Really!? Argh.
Not a whole lot else going on. Ready for a long weekend!
Even though I am not trying to buy any new clothing, since I am losing weight, I did find a few cute and cheap linen dresses at Old Navy. When I have somewhere to go on the weekends with family and friends I can't really show up in athletic wear all the time. Sigh… Going to swing by there on the way home from work.
Hope your day is going well @KateNkognito and those coworkers are not making you work too hard! LOL
Have a good day. See you soon.

@Meghan509 I have been looking for some linen clothes for summer. I will look at Old Navy this weekend! Glad that you are enjoying the gym again. The things that you get excited about when you reach a certain age! LOL Also, it is always satisfying to watch karma smack someone. 😈
Well, my husband managed to fix the dryer. The YouTube video said to have plenty of Band-Aids and to make sure that there were no children within earshot. They were right. BUT now we have time to leisurely look at new machines and pick the best one. Also, the electric line is getting fixed today. And I got a new iron. And the toilet is fixed. And I am now paranoid about what is going to break next.
Busy day today. Off to do all the things. Have a great day!

Well, next on the hit list was my poor husband's bicycle tire. He was all excited to go for a bike ride last night. Perfect weather, he felt great, all the things. He took off and then I got a call that he had a flat and I had to go get him at the halfway point of his route. Poor fella.
Today is going well, though. (hope that didn't jinx it) I have a bit more training today with the person from whom I am taking their job duties. I am sad because she is leaving and we have become friends, but I am excited to be doing some different things.
This evening we have a birthday celebration. Going out to eat and then cake. Yum!
Have a great Friday Eve!

Good morning!
Just before noon here on the east coast! Almost lunch time.
Busy but good today. The day started off with crazy rain but thankfully the commute was not too bad.
Thanks @KateNkognito I find that the linen items at Old Navy are nice and the quality is good too. I have bought a lot of stuff over the years and the dresses for this year seem to be good. Everything has been 50% off so I figured I could justify a few things. Wonder if the sale will continue on through the long weekend!? Probably. LOL
Good, glad you got the dryer fixed and the other house items are in order. UGH, that is rough.
Congrats on the newer job duties. It is fun to to break out a little more.
We had our basement dehumidifier crap out. We had bought it via Amazon last July during one of the prime sales. It seems like it was the defroster that crapped out, therefore making the machine unusable. The good news is we were still within the one year mark, AND I had gotten the extended warranty so we were covered either way. Went back and forth with the third party seller and long story short we were able to get refunded for both the unit and the insurance. :) Now need to research what other machine to buy at the sale. Sigh… Like my Dad used to say, "They don't make things like they used to!" LOLOL
Hope you have a good day and a fun birthday cake celebration tonight!
Weigh in day for me, tomorrow!! See you soon! Happy Friday Eve and almost long weekend!! Hee hee.

Good morning!
Weighed in this morning and I am down a pound!
Planning to go to the gym to walk on the treadmill for a bit midday today. 😊
Tomorrow we will hit the BJ's and Aldi to do our shopping. Our friends for Sunday have asked us to bring some cheese, crackers, and salami. Yummy. Otherwise, not much else planned. Maybe if the weather is decent I may try and pick up some flowers to plant outside in my little planters.
I hope you have a good day today @KateNkognito with no stress! And hope you have a nice long weekend. Summer is almost here!!
See you soon.

@Meghan509 Congratulations on the loss!! I hope you have a lovely weekend!
I have had a petty chill day. Learning the last bits and my work friend is leaving. Next week will be super short because I am taking Tuesday off to go see Zahi Hawass speak. It should be really interesting.
Have a super weekend!

Happy Tuesday!
Hope you had a great weekend @KateNkognito and the weather cooperated by you!
We were at our get together on Sunday and OMG it felt cold! 😱 I wore a summer dress and a light sweater and by the time the evening came and the sun gave up for good, I realized I would have been better in jeans and a sweater or sweatshirt. UGH! We had a nice time though and it was good to see everybody. In the past this would be a pool party. This year not so much! LOL
Hope you are having a great day off today too and seeing Zahi speak! I Googled and then I realized who he was. We love watching him on TV! My guy is a big fan too. I will tell him. Let me know how it was! :)
Today has been a day. Came in to the office to find a beeping sound coming from underneath the sink in our kitchen. Thought it may be the hot water heater that crapped out. Luckily it was just the batteries on the detector that had failed and needed replacing. Then I saw that the coffee machine was low on chocolate powder! Then the TV wasn't working in our sitting area, had to change the input and my colleagues are apparently all clueless. Jeez!
Anyway! Let me stop complaining! Long weekend was good! Yesterday we did a little bit of running around but got all the fun stuff like laundry done and I cooked chicken in the slow cooker. Win win!
Hope you have a great day today. See you soon!

I'm back! The presentation was AWESOME!! If he is going to be near you, I would recommend going. So much amazing stuff is going on right now. He spoke for about 2 hours and I could have listened for far longer than that.
Our party was a lot of fun. We had 17 people. The weather was cool and a little rainy, but we just opened the garage and had all the tables set up out there.
Today is a MONDAY on a Wednesday. My goal is just to get through this week and start fresh next week.
I have eaten like an unsupervised 5 year old for the last few weeks. My weight and bloat reflect that. I started a fast last night and I plan on going until at least lunch tomorrow.
Have a great rest of the week!

Good morning!
Oh that is great @KateNkognito I am so glad you had a nice time at the presentation. I will definitely look that up. Great idea!!
Hope your fast goes well!!
Great idea to set up the party in the garage! That totally works!
Today is going pretty good. Got to work a little earlier than usual since traffic was busy but moving. I am wondering WHEN the traffic will start to get a little lighter now that we have kind of kicked off summer. UGH!
Yesterday we were supposed to have a new Keurig Coffee Maker installed in the office upstairs, but the technician was a no show. 😡 VERY frustrating. STILL waiting for them to get back to me with a new date and time.
Lots of people in a meeting upstairs so it is on the quieter side. I like it. :)
Hope you have a good rest of your day and a great week! See you soon.

@Meghan509 What would the people in your office do without you?! You are The Fixer of All Things! They should give you a raise and a tiara.
Today is wonderful Thursday! Hopefully I will be able to get computer permissions to do all the things today at work. It is a quiet, cool, rainy day. I just want to put in earbuds and cruise through and get everything done.
Happy Friday Eve! Have a lovely day!

Good morning!
LOLOL you are too kind @KateNkognito!! 😊
Today we are about to have a fire drill where we have to evacuate and walk down the stairs. Not a big deal unless you are on the 15th and 16th floors like we are and it is super humid from being rainy and cloudy. UGH. RIP my knees and leg muscles. And my hair will be shot too. Can't wait!! Sigh…
Hope you have a good productive day and everybody leaves you alone. LOL
I have a new cube mate who is an intern. She's here only for around ten weeks or so. And she's really nice and all but holy hot damn she is LOUD when she's on calls. She is on a headset but her responses and talking are LOUD. And her voice is a little annoying. Oy. Right now we've all been too shy and unconfrontational to call her out. We shall see how long that lasts. 😖
Alright, let me run. Happy Friday Eve! See you soon!

Good morning!!
Happy Friday!
I am down .8 of a pound today. I will take it. :) Going in the right direction.
So yesterday with our new noisy colleague was fun. In the afternoon I was on a call with my headset on and I could hear her OVER my conversation. 😖 UGH. Going to be a long summer!
Today is cloudy and feels a little cool. I have my sweater on again sigh… On Saturday it is supposed to be very rainy, so we made plans to go see the new Mission Impossible movie in the afternoon! Sunday should be a little better but not super warm. 70 F at most. Looking forward to when it will finally get warmer. What a strange season it has been.
June starts on Sunday! Where has the year gone? Crazy.
I hope you have a good day today @KateNkognito! Have a good weekend too! See you soon.
