    Good morning!

    Happy July! Summer is flyyyyying!

    Hope your fast went well @KateNkognito

    I am feeling good even though I didn't sleep that great last night. I am convinced it is the Air Conditioning. It is noisy and turns on and off and some how I still end up waking up warm at times and then I can't fall back asleep. Sigh…

    Looking forward to the long weekend. Here in the office today and tomorrow. Remote on Thursday. Off on Friday. Less time commuting and more time sleeping in yea!

    Have a good day and see you soon. :)

    This morning was great! I finished my fast. I felt great. I was getting all the things done… then this afternoon hit. 😲

    @Meghan509 I hope you get better sleep! Enjoy your extra day of not commuting!

    I am going home. I am done with this day!

    Good morning!

    Congrats on the fast @KateNkognito!

    Today has been pretty good. My commute was a little easier so I think people are probably taking time off this week, which is nice!

    One more commute then done until next week! Big project coming up next week where I have to prepare a bunch of binders with tabs and PowerPoints inside. Getting some stuff ready for that now, so next week is not too ugly!

    Not a whole heck of a lot going on here otherwise. About to hop on an 11:00am ET call, so I will keep this short.

    Have a good day and chat soon! :)

    Today is MUCH better than the end of yesterday. SO much quieter and I don't have a literal line of people waiting at my door to ask me things. 🙄 I am already 14/34 done with my queue. Hopefully I can get a few other things done this afternoon once I am finished with this.

    I feel much better balanced this week. I need to work on a few bad habits that I fell back on in the last couple of weeks. Otherwise, I am moving forward!!

    @Meghan509 Enjoy the quiet end of the week! Good luck with your things next week!

    Off to finish this and then get lunch. Wish me luck! 🍀 LOL

    Commute this morning was SUPER smooth! I got to work about 5 minutes faster than usual! I love when people take the day off!!

    Not much going on today and that's the way I like it. 😊 I am just going to cruise through to the weekend. We were invited to my SIL's house, but both of the boys have to work tomorrow, so we are just staying home and being low-key.

    Must go and finish up a few things. Have a lovely weekend! 🎆

    Good morning!

    Good, glad you are rolling right along @KateNkognito and doing better! You got this. I love easy commutes! Mine was easy today because I am home. Wee!

    Last night trying to get from work to home, which is ten miles took me almost an hour. The highway was NOT moving. I ended up hitting my local library on the way and picked up three new books to read. I am almost done with my current one and I worried that if they are closed over the long weekend that I won't have a new book to read! Not that I don't have books sitting here on my shelf at home though. LOL

    Planning to head to the gym soon during lunch and then hopefully the afternoon will be uneventful and quiet. I think it should be based on the AM being quiet.

    Hope you have a nice holiday weekend and have a nice time relaxing at home! We will be home tomorrow relaxing on the patio as much as possible. On Saturday we'll head to a friend's house for the afternoon. They have a pool and it will be hot so I might even bring a bathing suit! Yikes! Sunday will be low key again. Only thing we need to do is groceries and laundry.

    See you soon!

    I hope your weekend was nice! We didn't really do anything. Having the extra day was very nice. 😊

    Today is not too bad for a Monday. I had to battle a spider in the bathroom first thing, so I was wide awake without any caffeine! LOL

    I think people have taken an extra day today because it is very quiet. Kind of makes me scared for tomorrow, but I will take the chill for today.

    Have a great week!

    Good morning!

    Looks like you just posted before me @KateNkognito! I like it when that happens. LOL Smart minds think alike!

    Glad you had a nice weekend relaxing! We went to our friend's house on Saturday and had a nice time. Otherwise we relaxed and stayed close to home. Tried to avoid traffic and highways as much as possible! Since we live on the I-95 corridor, traffic gets nuts during the summer getaway months. :)

    Saturday night after we got home from our friends, I had what must have been a bad reaction to something I ate. Didn't feel like food poisoning but I was up from 12:00am to 3:00am praying to the porcelain G*ds. 🤢 🤮 Good times! Ended up getting very little sleep and felt like a zombie yesterday, but thankfully whatever it was departed. Last night I went to bed at 9:00pm and slept all the way through to this morning. Feeling much better today. Just grateful that the "event" did not happen while I was in the car driving home and that my BF slept through my multiple trips to and from the bathroom. OY.

    Going to head over to the gym and walk on the treadmill for a bit during lunch. Excited to make a new chicken salad recipe for lunch this week. Also making a veggie curry tonight. Today has been pretty quiet work wise, with my boss and a bunch of others on vacation. Enjoy it while we can! Hope tomorrow is not crazy for you!

    See you soon.

    Happy Tuesday!

    So you called it, @katenkognito! LOL Today has been BUSY!

    Hope you are having a good one never the less!

    Not too bad here. A bit of a calm before the storm. Later this week, tomorrow and Thursday I will be preparing binders and that can be oh so fun. LOL

    HOT and HUMID today and storms on the way tonight. Just hope they cool things off a bit. Sheesh!

    Had some yummy chicken salad for lunch today. Two thumbs up! Have a good day and see you soon. 😊

    Yup, @Meghan509, I was right. I just realized that in all the chaos of yesterday, I never posted. It was one of those days where you are working all day and never really get anything done. 😕

    Today is looking better already, though. Traffic was a breeze. I have the people here today to talk to so I can get things done. It is going to be a good one!

    I hope today goes smoothly and all your binders behave and your printer prints flawlessly!

    Have a great day!

    Good morning!

    I know what you mean @KateNkognito yesterday was busy!! Glad that today is better. Pretty much same for me.

    Traffic has been lighter here too. I think people are FINALLY taking their summer vacations and it is reflected on on the highway. LOL

    Today we have a lunch for the new Executive Assistant who started on Monday. She replaced the crazy one who lasted only a few weeks and then got fired. 😐️ Never a dull moment. The good news is the new EA is very nice and we think she will work out wonderful!!

    Waiting to officially start my editing and printing (hopefully when I get back from lunch)! I am thankful for the positive vibes!

    Hope you have a nice easy day! We are half way to the weekend!!

    See you soon.

    @Meghan509 I hope everything is going well today! Glad the new EA is better than the previous person. They sounded a bit extra.

    Today is sailing along. I don't know where the morning has gotten off to, though. Seems to have sped by without me. LOL

    I hope the rest of the week passes just as fast! This weekend my youngest has decided to get baptized, so we are going to have that and then a little lunch out.

    Have a great rest of the day!

    Good morning!

    So yesterday was a day, for sure. Busy and crazy. Had my big project that was ready to print in the afternoon but the printer was making all of the copies pink. UGH. IT guy tried to fix it. No luck. Ended up having to PDF the files and email them to a local printer for printing. UGH. The good thing is I didn't have to come in today. But, I do have to go in on Monday when the prints are ready. All good.

    The good news for today is I am down three pounds for the week! Biggest loss I have ever had. I wonder if my night of 🤮 helped in anyway. Pretty much a net calories for Saturday as a whole. LOL

    @KateNkognito Enjoy the baptism! How nice. :)

    We have zero plans for the weekend and that is fine. On Monday my sister and her family arrive from Florida and they are staying at an AirBnB for a few weeks a little north of us in CT. Excited to see them soon.

    Hope your day is going well and the rest of your Friday and weekend are good. See you soon!

    @Meghan509 Congratulations on the loss!! That is awesome! Sorry about the printer. At least you don't actually have to stand and make the copies? (looking for the positive) I hope you have a nice time seeing your sister and family.

    Yesterday turned into a day for sure. By the end I was wondering what in the wide wide world of sports was going on with people and then I realized that it was the full moon last night and it all makes sense. 🌕️

    Today is pretty good. I am cleaning up all the chaos from yesterday and I might actually get to the stuff I want to get done. 😊

    Aside from the baptism on Sunday, we are pretty low key this weekend. Storms and cool weather for the next week or so. I will take it. I am too old for heat.

    Have a great weekend!
