I've been productive tonight when it comes to retail therapy. Just placed a big ol' Lush order! Should be a good mail week. I ordered some dresses from the UK back in October and they ended up getting "lost" in transit. They got as close as Chicago (only 3 hours away) and somehow ended up in New York in February and sat there ever since. USPS was no help and one day about a week ago I checked the tracking # again and it had "expired". So I e-mailed the company I ordered from to see if they had it. They didn't. But, they are re-sending another package at no additional cost to me and in smaller sizes since I've lost weight! Package is in Chicago now. Crossing my fingers it actually gets here this time. I thought for sure I was going to be screwed out of $200+. Same thing happened 10 years ago with a domestic package and I got screwed out of $60 that time. Package was never "found". Oh...and I did some yoga. So productive all around!0

I'm so far behind on records, I hope I get a chance to pop in again. If not, Have a great morning and I'll see you guys tonight.0

@sufferlandrian no working out at work for me. I walk a lot. That's about it.0

So I washed 2 cars this morning. Took 2 hrs. I logged 60 mins of general aerobic activity and it gave me 700 calories. I know sometimes the calories earned are over what they actually are but wow. I was dripping sweat off but I don't think it was 700 calories worth. Anyone have a better way I could log it?
And I didn't log 2hrs worth bc there's no way in hell I burned 1400 calories lol. I know better than that.0 -
Guess it's me and the crickets this evening

Really? Washing cars was 700 calories? That's it. I'm going to have the cleanest car on the block. 0

Joining in for the night. Been at work for 5hrs now. Still pulling 1st place in calls even with my mind on my son and his surgery tomorrow. Read most of the posts from the last few days so some responses:
Forensic Files: Eeeeee!!!!
Then again I love almost anything criminal justice/forensic based
Dating/Interacting with a co-worker in a personal way: From my experience.....doesn't end well. Its great in the moment....kinda awkward in the aftermath.
Letting k9s run loose: in all fairness we used to have a GS/boxer mix that was trained off leash. If thats the case I don't see a problem. Then again we didn't let him off leash next to the road just as a precaution. More so on trails and parks. Otherwise...keep em on it, keep em safe.
As for my weekend off: I got off shift early Friday morning and spent Friday day time awake in hopes to sleep like a normal person Friday night. So I washed, dried, folded and put away all of the laundry. Started a round of dishes. And straightened up the living rm. Then I got my son and grabbed dinner. (Rotisserie Chicken) My plan to sleep that night after being up for over 36hrs went to hell when my toddler swallowed either a large glass marble or a stone painted. We aren't 100% sure which. We just know it was a marble so far. Hello ER! Good news is it wasn't stuck in his lungs or trachea. Bad news? He also hasn't relieved his stomach of the object yet. Which means when I get off in the morning...if he still hasn't pooped it out, we have to go back to the ER for an endoscopy. Which means my toddler has to go under general anesthesia and have a scope go down his throat. Mommy mode is panicking. Badly.
Saturday we tried to surprise his grandmother with a visit, but she was all upset thinking she wasnt going to see him that she left town for the day. Hello wasted 2hr trip.
Sunday: We handled groceries and had dinner with my mom. And yet again, my night shift schedule is whopping my butt. I couldnt sleep all night and my toddler woke up at 6am. So guess who hasn't slept since Saturday afternoon aside from a 4hr nap when my toddler napped today? Thank gracious for long naps some days!!!

@LacednLace Holy moley! You've had quite a few adventures!
Only 15 minutes and then I can start diving into my food! Oh man. I made this banana, mango, protein shake that I am so excited about.
I also have some steamed broccoli and rice with chicken that I can not WAIT to eat. Although there is so much in the container I may only eat half.
Meeting tomorrow at 7:30 AM. Supposed to be our 'Employee Appreciation' meeting. If Dale(diabetic idiot) is there I will be sure to let him know that I 'appreciate' all of the overtime opportunities he has given me. :laugh:
More money for me to put in the savings account. I may buy myself a new mattress....too bad I might never get the chance to use it.

I know right? Well they got washed and spray waxed, windows got some Rain-x. Hosed off the driveway and got a bunch of grass off of it. But still not 700 calories worth. I always try to stay under the extra calories it says I earn anyways.0 -
@Lacedinlace OMG. I thought my toddler getting an earring back stuck up her nose was horrible. Nevermind! Reminds me of two funny stories.
Story #1. When my daughter got the earring back (the silicone kind) stuck in her nose, my fiance asked if I had some tweezers. (Of course I do...my brows are impeccable.
). I said "Yes, but they are very sharp." My daughter was only maybe 1 1/2 at the time and wouldn't sit still enough for us to put sharp tweezers up her nose. He said he'd grind them down and round them. I said "Not my Tweezermans! They are $20 a pop! Got to Walgreens and buy a cheapo tweezer!" So he did. Ground and round 'em and out came the earring back.
Story #2. Years ago we were playing Trivial Pursuit and my cat Sonny jumped on the board and knocked everything flying. Pieces everywhere. We reassemble and I think I see Sonny eating something. I worried it was a colored wedge from the game so we count. One is missing! I'm freaking out thinking he ate one and is going to have an intestinal blockage...so I call the 24 hour vet. (Used your guys' services many a times over the years @sufferlandrian
). They said to give him some peroxide to induce vomiting. We do then proceed to follow Sonny around the house for the next few hours while he dry heaves...never pukes it up, never shat it out. Guess we were just missing a piece to begin with!
I had the opposite problem with calories burned estimation today. I normally ride my bike from my house around town but decided to ride on the bike path down by the Mississippi today. I shoulda known it was a bad idea from the frickin' whitecaps on the river due to it being windy AF. My logic was to ride with the wind first because if I rode against the wind first, I'd give up sooner and just ride back to my car. If I rode with the wind first, I HAD to come back against the wind it to my car...like it or not. On the way back, I could barely pedal fast enough to keep my bike upright! So windy! I only rode for half the time and half the mileage I typically ride for and it said I burned a lousy 212 calories. Going against that wind, my heart rate was sky rocketing and I was sweaty and out of breath. 212 calories my *kitten*...0 -
Watching "Joe vs the Volcano'. I love the Waponi Woo. 0

My work partner and I got caught up on Game of Thrones and almost caught up on Blacklist. We're going to watch the season finale of that tonight (tomorrow night?). You guys know how that goes lol!!0
-
Wow. I used to use tweezers to get the boogers out of my sons nose. Dont judge. The bulb syringes sucked! And not in the way they're supposed to. So I bought a pair of cheap tweezers and those became his booger removers.0

why don't you make your own custom exercise and give the calories as what you think a car wash would burn... a vague estimate is what you're gonna have to assume.. good luck 0 -
Well, My THC dog is doing well and can now go home. Another pot dog saved. 0

Wow....I..just...seriously? People just leave that stuff out there? Ugh!0 -
Are dogs attracted to weed? Sheesh? Back in the day, I was quite a partaker of the pot and our cats never got into it...and it was always somewhere they could get to it. We did have one cat who wanted in the room we were smoking in. He'd paw at the door if we were puffin'. Same cat who hits the catnip REAL hard. (One of our cats refuses to do it and gives the other cats dirty looks when they do it. Judgy cat.) Same with my fiance's old dog, always wanted in his bedroom when we started puffin'. His parents were puffers too and that dog never got into it but I don't think he had access to it either. Our other cat would give you the most sour look and get away from you if you lit a cigarette but if you puffed on a joint...she'd stay on your lap. We have a dog nowadays but no weed. The only thing our dogs eats are napkins out of the trash with carb residue. (He's doing a gluten-free thing right now. LOL). And the occasional stuffed animal. Very rarely though...only two so far. Is it the amount they eat? I've seen THC laced treats for dogs with health problems. Not that that makes it legitimate...0
-
OK, so first off, THC treats for dogs for health problems is bogus. Dogs don't metabolize THC like we do. It makes them light, sound and touch sensitive and can cause such overstimulation that they seizure. It has a mildly sweet smell so dogs are attracted to it. Second, I have no problem with people on THC or pot. However, if you're going to do it, don't leave your stash on the counter and then be surprised with the dog eats it. And third, When you open your car doors and smoke pours out and you reek so bad that my staff is getting high, don't lie to me and tell me it can't be pot. I'll drug test your dog every time.
At least these people were up front about it. It makes treating a lot more simple and a lot cheaper for them. 0 -

You load 16 tons and what do you get? Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter don't call me, 'cause I can't go. I owe my soul to the company store.... (Tennessee Ford "16 Tons")0

Jon, Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?
You should hear this dog howling. He is so disoriented. I'm sure he'll be exhausted by the time I get the drugs flushed from his system.0 -
