Good morning!
Happy June!
Thanks for starting the new monthly thread, @KateNkognito!
Saw your post in the old thread. Hope your Friday was good and not too draggy! As far as weather I feel like we will go from winter right to summer. So odd! But the new normal around here.
This past weekend was supposed to be a big wash out but thankfully it wasn't! Friday night we had some heavy, heavy rain, you know the kind that beats on the old style air conditioners and sounds like shots being fired!? LOL Both of us were awakened. Sigh. Saturday was a mix of sun / clouds and a few drizzles and much cooler than normal. We went to see the newest Mission Impossible movie with Tom Cruise on Saturday afternoon and was great! Sunday was sunny and warmer. Today looks really nice and for the first time I don't have a sweater over my T shirt!
Not a whole lot else going on. Hoping today is quiet and the week not too busy.
Hope you have a good week. See you soon!

I had a lovely weekend, got a lot done and caught up on some naps. The weather has cleared up for a couple of days, but tomorrow is supposed to go back to cool and stormy for the rest of the week.
Friday turned out to be a success! I got everything I need to do my job. My interview for it is on Wednesday. Today I am catching up on the queue that accumulated last week. Once that is done, it should be smooth sailing from here.
@Meghan509 It sounds like y'all had a nice weekend, aside from the rude awakening! I hope the weather holds for you. I don't mind the rain and cool, as long as we get a warm, sunny day or two every few days. I need the sunshine to keep me from hibernating.
Off to have some lunch and then get all caught up. Have a great week!

Good morning!
Glad you had a nice weekend @KateNkognito and happy you are about to interview for the new role. Positive vibes! You got this!!
Today was one of those horrendous traffic days! OY. The good news is I was only around ten minutes late but sheesh. Spent a lot of time just sitting. I still have no clue what happened. No accident, just super heavy volume.
Today I have lunch with our CEO. He rotates with different groups each month. Likes to get to know us. I like that.
Getting stuff done and not feeling too overwhelmed which is good.
Today is sunny and supposed to be high 70's! Summer has entered the chat! Tomorrow they said hazy, hot, and humid! Really!? Just yesterday I was wearing a sweater! LOL
I hope you have a good day! See you soon. :)

@Meghan509 I am literally the only candidate for the job. I am already doing all the things. Pretty much the only thing I can say that would keep me from getting the job is "I quit!"
Last night on the way home there was a "phantom" traffic jam. No reason, just a couple of miles of super slow traffic. Weird.
Today is cloudy and super rainy. I like it. We have been so dry the last few years that we need all the rain we can get.Off to do all the things. I am almost all caught up on the queue. Hoping to have it cleared by the end of the day.

Good morning!
Oh that is awesome @KateNkognito I am happy about your new opportunity! High Five!!
YES, I know what you mean about phantom traffic! That was me on the way in yesterday. No accident, no police, no construction. Just sitting or going very slow! UGH. I also had been drinking coffee as usual while I commute and towards the end I really had to go the bathroom. Fun, fun, fun! 😓
Today I have such watery eyes, the left more than the right and I can't figure out what's bothering them. I want to take tissues and just rub the heck out of them. UGH. My eyes just keep tearing. So frustrating. Feeling like most of my eye shadow and liner is off at this point on my left eye. I can't win. Google is no help either. LOL
Yesterday our lunch with the CEO went well. I did the best I could with food. No clue how many calories anything is. Just tried to pick sensibly. The salmon was yummy!
Hope you have a good day today! Weather here is warm and getting humid. More humid tomorrow. Bah! Feels like it is going from winter to summer in one week. Crazy! See you soon. :)

Today is going to be a good day! I cannot express my love for Thursdays enough! I should be all caught up on everything by the end of the day. 😊
I got on the scale this morning and all the extra water weight I have been carrying around is finally gone. I am now newly motivated to get back on track and get to my goal!
Today is cloudy and rainy again. I like it. 🌧️ Supposed to be rainy until next week.
@Meghan509 Your lunch sounds delicious! Hope your eyes are all cleared up. That is so annoying! And I hope that traffic was speedy so you could use the loo on time!
Have a wonderful Friday Eve!

Hello!
Oooh congrats on the loss @KateNkognito! That is great! Silly water weight. Sigh… I like Thursdays too! I have gotten a lot of stuff done today too so tomorrow should not be too heavy. My boss has been out of the office all week, since her father in law passed away on Monday. Very sad. :(
Hazy, hot, and humid here today! I was just wearing a sweater on Monday!!??
We had a breakfast meeting today to welcome all of our new interns. It was really nice. I managed to find a nice organic yogurt to eat, which was good because then people don't keep asking me if I am eating!? I don't talk too much about intermittent fasting or skipping breakfast to save calories for later, etc. I just keep quiet. Used to work with a bunch of nosey colleagues, who were always up in everybody's business. Not my style. I will do what I do and if they happen to notice that I lose weight or if I look good, great. Less is more. :)
My watery eyes are all back to normal today, so I have no clue what happened. Either way, hope that is done because what a pain!
Tomorrow I will try and hit the gym mid day during lunch if I can. I like doing that. Tonight on my way home I will stop off at the library to pick up another library book that is waiting for me!
I am looking forward to working from home tomorrow, because this office is COLD!! 😨
I hope you have a good day and happy Friday Eve! See you soon.

Good morning!
It is Friday! One of my favorite days of the week! LOL Whole weekend lies ahead and I don't have to drive in to the office until Tuesday! Who knew? 😁
Happy to report that I am down 1.8 lbs today and fun fact is my BF is down the same! 😲
Hot, hot, hot today and then rain coming on Saturday. Sunday should be cloudy. But, we take all of that with a grain of salt because last weekend they said it would be meh and it was sunny but cool!
Hope you have a good day at work and nobody's bugging you @katenkognito! LOL Happy Friday! Hope you have a good weekend.
We don't have any plans this weekend, other than doing some grocery shopping. Okay by me! Last Saturday we had seen the latest Mission Impossible movie with Tom Cruise and it was awesome!! Supposedly that is the last movie of the MI series. Tom is definitely getting older but he is still awesome. He does all his own stunts! 😮
Hope you have a good day and see you soon!

Today has been a super productive day! I have gotten a lot of work done and I feel like I am on top of everything I need to be doing. WHEW!
@Meghan509 Your weekend plans sound a lot like mine. 😊I have a whole lot of nothin' planned except a grocery store run. Congratulations on the losses! Enjoy your new book and your trip to the gym. I biffed up my knee this week, so I am going to start back at exercising next week.
I have a bit left that I would like to get to this afternoon, so I better get back to it! Happy Friday!

Well, Happy Monday! Traffic was good, the caffeine is plentiful, and the To Do list is short! Also, I am off this Friday to take my youngest to college freshman orientation, so short week for the win!
This weekend was very nice. I got to go out to eat with my brother-in-law's wife and another friend. It is always nice to have a time to chat and be away from the usual.
I am in the middle of a 40+ hour fast. I have totally fallen off the wagon lately and I need a major reset. I am sure I will feel gross this afternoon when I hit ketosis, but it will be good for me. I will feel so much better tomorrow and I will get past all the blood sugar peaks and crashes I have been having.
Have a great week!

Hello! Happy Monday!
Been sitting on this page, waiting to post and keep getting interrupted. ARGH!
Cloudy, cool (again), and rainy here. Decided to skip the gym today and tackle my summer clothes and shoes. I currently have BOTH winter and summer shoes in a pile on my floor in the master bedroom and I had gone in last night without the light on and almost tripped. Shame on me. Need to get stuff put away!
Busy for a Monday. Earlier I was looking out my window at home and saw the squirrel try and get in to the bird feeder. I ran out and yelled at him to stop. He jumped down and now all seems to be okay. He's sitting underneath it getting all the scraps that the birds drop. LOL I have the type of feeder that slams shut once weight is on it, so the squirrels can't get in. So far so good!
Glad you had a nice weekend @KateNkognito it is always nice spending time with friends and family!! Good luck with the fast! You got this.
Speaking of family, my cousin was in town since his Mom (My aunt) ended up in the hospital with some health issues. She's having surgery tomorrow AM on her heart. Long story short, my cousin owns a pizzeria up the line from us that opened recently and he invited my BF and I to come up and have dinner on Friday night. We had a nice time. Got to see my other cousin and her kids. Pizza was great! We will definitely be back with friends that live up that way. Good to see family.
Alrighty, let me go get some more things done before I break for clothing and shoe sorting. Fun, fun, fun!
Have a good day and see you soon.

@Meghan509 Prayers for your aunt and family. Glad you had a nice visit. 😊
I can imagine you running out and chasing the squirrel! LOL Ours are all fat and happy because of all the feeders in the area. Good luck with the shoe sorting. I realized a while ago that there were only a few pairs that I own that I actually wear, so I got rid of the rest. SO much more room in my closet! I realized this weekend that I need to get rid of some clothes. I have exactly enough hangers for everything. I need to purge.Yesterday and today have been productive. I am working on the last little thing that I need to do to be completely caught up. 🙂 Then just truck through the next couple of days and three day weekend for me! (and freshman orientation is nice because they treat parents well since we are about to drop a lot of money at their institution)
Must run and do all the things. Have a great week!

Hello!
Thank you for the prayers @KateNkognito and you just reminded me that I have not heard anything from my cousin regarding my Aunt. My Aunt was having surgery this AM. :)
Got all my shoes sorted and put away! The clothing is another story. I am going to have to go through old stuff and organize by size and season and create room for all my winter stuff. UGH. For now all of my sweaters and sweatshirts are sitting on the bed in the guest room. Yes, I need to organize and get rid of stuff BIG TIME. Going to carve some time out on Saturday to get serious about it. BF said he would help me too.
So, today I got pulled over because I rolled through a stop sign. :( The cop was nice about it but he did have to give me a ticket since neighbors had complained about cars blowing through the stop signs and speeding. Oh boy, lucky me. I learned my lesson for sure. Then I proceeded to get stuck in heavy traffic and torrential rain. I decided that I am going to have to start waking up a little earlier on days I go in to the office to allow even more time for traffic. I had been slacking and leaving a little later than I should. Can't keep doing that because then I end up late. I hate being late. Too old for that. As far as the stop sign in question, it is in this little neighborhood that I cut through to get to the highway. There are houses and a random deli right in the middle, surrounded by a three way stop. Nobody was around but the cop was parked and hiding in the deli driveway and pulled me over when I slid through. Oops.
I don't like to end on a complaining note! The sun appears to be making an appearance now and the ride home later is looking like it won't be rainy. Yea!
Hope you have a good day!! See you soon.

Oh, NO! @Meghan509! Sorry you got a ticket! That's just not a good way to start the day. I hope your aunt is doing ok. Well done on getting your shoes sorted! I hope today is a much better day and you got off to a good start! 😊
I am just chugging through today. I am hoping to get some things done on my list. Yesterday I started a bunch of things, but never finished anything… I hate that.
Not much else new here. Weather is warming up and clearing out. I am doing much better at eating like an adult and not a toddler. Good things.
Have a great rest of the week!

Good morning!
LOL thank you @KateNkognito! My BF is frustrated at the cop giving me the ticket because day in, day out we have so many speeders and stop sign runners racing by our house. He was like why do we deal with all the speeders out our front door but I am the one who gets a ticket! Yep, he has a point. Honestly I am just glad that I was not in an accident and it has gotten me to be more careful and you better believe I fully stopped at that stop sign this morning on my way in! LOL No cop there today though… I didn't wake up earlier but I definitely moved quicker and made sure I had more time. It worked. Traffic was heavy but I was not late. I am hoping once schools close around here at the end of this week, we will be in better shape with traffic. Fingers crossed!
My Aunt had valve surgery on her heart yesterday morning. This is my late father's youngest sister. She is doing well my cousin said. Thanks for your kind words. ☺️ She's in the ICU for a few days and then she will progress from there and get released eventually. She is not overweight thankfully, just been having heart issues for the last few years. No fun.
Work was crazy yesterday, but it made the day go by really fast! Today is better. There is something about Tuesdays around here. LOL
Warm weather is back today and tomorrow. Weekend looking iffy once again. Bah.
Hope your day is productive and congrats on the better eating! I find when I eat better I just feel better overall.
Have a good day. See you soon.

@Meghan509 Your BF has a point, but isn't that always the way it is? 😕 Glad your aunt is doing well, too!
Yesterday was kind of crazy. Today I should be able to blow through my list and then I am off tomorrow!
I better get moving if I want to get this all done! Have a great end of the week and weekend!

Good morning!
Yes, so true @KateNkognito kind of the way life is. Thanks!
Sorry you had a crazy day yesterday! That was me on Tuesday. Yesterday was ho hum, pretty dead. I would love to know how that happens! Either feast or famine sometimes. I don't mind being quiet when I am home, but when I am at the office, sometimes it is tough trying to look busy! LOL
Today is not too bad work wise. Traffic was heavy but moving. Today we have a retirement luncheon for one of our attorneys who is leaving. He is a good guy and one who will be missed. His replacement though is also super nice. Who knew lawyers could be so cool!? LOL
Sun is shining and it is acting summer like. Tomorrow should be decent too. Weekend - we shall see. Fingers crossed.
Hope you have a nice day off tomorrow! Enjoy! Hope you get to relax. :)
See you soon!!

Happy Friday!
@katenkognito I hope you are enjoying your day off today! The sun is shining here and it is warm, but not too warm! Hope same for you. :)
Today I weighed in and came in .2 lbs shy of the 30 pounds lost mark! So far so good. My weekly rate according to that "other" app is 1.4 lbs a week. Not bad for a 53 year old menopausal woman with a sedentary lifestyle. LOL
Speaking of sedentary, I just came back from a walk on the treadmill at the gym.
We have no plans this weekend and SHOCKER, we are supposed to get rain on Saturday! UGH, so that means that there is a good chance it will be a low key weekend and I will get some more clothing sorting done.
I hope you have a good Friday and a nice weekend! See you soon!

Happy Monday!
Hope your weekend was nice @KateNkognito!
Kicked the squirrel off the bird feeder again this morning! LOL 😂
Just got back from the gym and a quick mid day walk on the treadmill! Love the fact that I can do that thanks to working remotely two days a week! We also went over the weekend, so four days in a row. Not bad.
Our weekend was quiet but good. Didn't get clothing sorting done, but that's okay. It will get done soon.
Should be a quieter week because a lot of people in our office are traveling at a big conference this week in Europe. My boss is around, but she's pretty easy. I am lucky.
The weather is still being finicky here. Cloudy and cool. But, nicer weather is on the way. We were able to sit outside on the patio yesterday afternoon and the sun did make a partial appearance which is nice.
I will get back to work and back to my sandwich. LOL Have a good day! See you soon.

I just realized I never posted yesterday! It was kind of a crazy Monday.
@Meghan509 Glad you had a nice, quiet weekend. 😊
That is really nice that you can take a break and run to the gym. I think if I worked from home I would definitely go for a short walk around the neighborhood.
You should put out a squirrel feeder so they leave the bird one alone. (I actually kinda like our crazy squirrels)Weather here is stormy. We had a HUGE line come through early this morning. Power is out in half of downtown. Unfortunately, it is still on in our building, so, here I am.
I need to get some things done, so I am off to do all the things. Have a great week!

Good morning!
Good idea with the squirrel feeder @katenkognito I will look in to those! I used to put out squirrel food, a few years back but I wasn't sure if it was doing anything or not. I also don't mind the squirrels as long as they stay off the bird feeder. LOL They have such a strong sense of smell. A few years back, we had to get a small metal garbage can to store our bird food, they chewed through our old plastic one trying to get to the food. 😮
Rainy and cool here at the moment. But, the heat is on its wayyyyy. Oh boy. Are we in for a treat. 90's F on the horizon. Yesterday I had to throw on a sweatshirt since it was so cool. Today I am in a sweater and pants to help combat the meat locker of an office that we have here. 😰
Saw a guy on the news yesterday who said think of all the money that we've been saving on A/C this year! He's got a point!
I think I need to do some office laps to warm up! I will do that now before I turn in to a snow flake!
Have a good day! See you soon.

@Meghan509 That guy definitely has a point! I don't think we have hardly had our AC on this year except for when it has been stupidly humid out and we need to dry out the house.
We had more storms last night. I think this round was worse! Less wind, but there was just one cell after another coming through all evening. It is supposed to warm up and dry out starting tomorrow.
Today is pretty chill at work. Not much on my To Do list. Lots of people gone because of the storms. I think I am going to take Friday off. I will be wild and crazy cleaning my house and headed to the chiropractor. Fun times! We have a holiday tomorrow and I am going in for my annual haircut! I will be light and breezy after!
Have a great rest of the week!!

Good morning!
June is more than half way over!!?? How is that possible?!
Our weather has been so bad here lately. Today it is a little bit warmer than yesterday but not much. Tomorrow we go from 60's to 90's F! Screams!!!
Today's commute was busy but moving. Tomorrow is the Juneteenth holiday but our office is open. Since pretty much everybody else around here is off, the highway should be great! UGH.
@KateNkognito hope your week is going well!
Today I placed an order on Amazon for a temperature gauge for my desk at work. It is so, so, so cold here with the air conditioning pouring out and it is literally making us miserable. :( I figure if I have a gauge then I have photo evidence for the engineering team, that they should really consider getting it fixed in one way, shape or form. No matter how many times I have asked them to increase the temperature, it does zero, zilch, nothing… Today in the three offices around me I turned on the heat, since those folks are currently traveling or out. Anything at this point to make it better.
I have been getting tired of turkey sandwiches, so I made a tuna pasta salad for lunch for the week for BF and I. Yesterday it felt a little dry so today we added some mayo. I doubled the tuna and tried to sub Greek yogurt for the mayo, so that might be why it got dry. We shall see!
Off to do a few steps to try and keep this air conditioning at bay! See you soon!

Good morning!
Juneteenth is here. The commute was super duper easy since it is a federal holiday, but of course WE are still open. UGH.
Lunch turned out much better with the added stir in of some mayo and more salt and pepper. Will see what BF thinks but I think we will probably make it again for lunch for next week. It's good.
Not much else going on here. Work is QUIET. The heat coming from the three surrounding offices yesterday helped our extreme A/C situation which is good. But, one of the office inhabitants are here today, so we can't be blasting the heat in her office today. LOL My new temperature gauge will be installed on Tuesday when I am back in the office.
Sunny and getting warmer here finally. 90's F on the way soon. Buckle up, it is going to be fun! The good news is this is one of the first weekends in a very long time when it is not supposed to rain!! Who are we?! LOL
Have a good day! Hope you are having a good week @KateNkognito! See you soon.

Happy Friday!
Weigh in day for me. Down 1.2 lbs and made it to 31 lbs down!
Hope you are having a good week.
Sunny and warm here. Windy though. Sigh. Supposed to be our FIRST nice weekend so far that does not get rain. Can't believe it.
Getting ready to go to the gym soon, for my mid day treadmill walk. Nothing major planned for the weekend other than the usual grocery shopping and clothing organizing. Need to get the clothing done because we have friends coming over next weekend! I work better under pressure. LOL
Hope all is well @KateNkognito and people are not driving you nutty this week. :)
Have a good day and a nice weekend. See you soon.

I just got back to the office after a 4 day weekend. I had trouble remembering the door PIN to get in! LOL
@Meghan509 I hope you had a really nice weekend! Sounds like the weather was just the way you like it! Congratulations on the loss!!
I have to keep this short. I have a lot to catch up on. I had to laugh though, I wrote a note before I left "Dear Monday Me, Here are some things you will need to remember… Love, Wednesday Me"! I make myself giggle…
Have a great week!

Good morning!
Welcome back to the office @KateNkognito LOL! Glad you had a nice four day weekend! Those are nice.
Our weekend was sunny! And warm! Who knew we could have a weekend without rain!! Grateful.
I managed to get all of my winter clothing organized and put away in boxes. I have a few pairs of winter shoes / slippers to tuck away, otherwise all good for now. The nice thing is I found quite a few pairs of pants and clothing in smaller sizes that I could put away for future wear now. 😊
I almost feel like if I never bought any clothing ever again, I would probably be fine and would have enough. Sad but true. Looking forward to wearing all my size 8 and size 10 jeans again some day. 😁
I have a 10am ET call today. It is a weekly update one and I hope it goes quick, because I am not in the mood. LOL
Have a good day and see you soon!!

Good morning!
The heat is ON here!! Ponytail weather! LOL
Commute was pretty decent. Busy but moving.
Yesterday we had a leak in our HR Manager's office. Water was pouring out of the ceiling!! We are on the top floors of our high rise so we get all kinds of condensation and water stuff happening due to the roof and the A/C system above us. Luckily someone was in and saw the water coming down and was able to report it to our landlord. Looks like no damage to the desk or furniture, which is good because that stuff is $$. I was working from home when it happened and so was she (otherwise she would have been drenched). Oh boy, never a dull moment!
I received my new little temperature gauge and installed it on top of my cube wall. Right now we are sitting at 73 degrees F and 70% humidity. I am keeping track, because it gets so flipping cold in here and we are tired of it. I want the landlord to know so they can address it. Sigh…
Hope you are having a good day! See you soon.

Wow! @Meghan509 Never a dull moment?! Glad there wasn't any major damage. We have the same thing here. One day it was "raining" in our records room. Missed the filing cabinets by about a foot!
I hope you had fun "closet shopping"! I need to do that with all of my stuff, but my to do list is super long right now, so I won't get to it for a while.
I hope you can use that temperature gauge to prove your point. Working in cold is miserable.Commute this morning was smooth, work is going well, I am on a roll today! I think the new supplements from my chiropractor are helping. I don't feel as crazy and starving anymore. 😊
Off to do all the things. Have a great rest of the week!

Good morning!
Yes, water is some crazy stuff! We have had a few different leaks here since I have been with the company. One time they called our old maintenance guy after hours to let him know that it was raining in our legal department. LOL Like you, luckily no files were damaged! Crazy.
@KateNkognito glad you are feeling better and are less hungry. Being hungry while on a WOE is what has derailed me many times. We got this!
The new temperature gauge is working! 72 degrees F and 66% humidity as I type this! My colleague is also going to buy the same one. She sits at the other end of the bank of cubes. It gets cold by her as well. Last week she was walking around in a fleece. LOL
My commute was not too bad this morning. And today it is the last day of our super duper heat wave so after tonight there should be some relief and less humidity. My hair will be much happier. LOL
This weekend we have friends coming over to hang out with us and spend the night on Saturday night. This is one of my BF's best friends and his wife. This will be a first for them as they have two girls. One just graduated from college and is back home getting her masters degree starting in the fall and the other is a high schooler. It will be a first for them to come alone and without the girls. Happy for them! Weather looking decent at the moment too.
Not much else going on here. Hope you have a good easy day! Happy Hump day! See you soon.
