    My work pants, too! Though it seems they either fit a little too snug or I'm constantly giving them a tug because they won't stay up. There is no in between.

    Not staying up could be a major wardrobe malfunction! Yikes!

    Back down under 150 this morning. So happy! B) Forgot to finish my logging last night. But I did good. Even did what Paula would do. Just say NO!

    I just got a text from Paula, and she wanted everyone to know she is okay but her house was lost in a landslide this week. She doesn't have internet right now but will check in when she can. She is okay she just didn't want us to think she'd left us.

    Oh no! Glad every one is safe. I didn't realize it was that bad. I can't imagine how difficult that is to deal with.

    Is there any way we could help Paula? I just can't stop thinking about her.

    This is the email Paula sent out...

    ...long story short. the rains triggered an active landslide under our old house. friends moved us to our "new" house yesterday. the house cannot be saved.

    a landslide went through my house and tore it up. as of yesterday, 8" cracks in floor and foundation. 4' cliffs in backyard. sheet rock falling down. mirrors shattering. it'll be worse today. but we wont see because the house is red-tagged and nobody can go inside again.

    tues-thurs we were moving till we dropped. over 50 people came out and got all the important stuff out and into storage. we moved into the house we owned next door but had to go around the block to get there because the road cracked 2 feet wide. water main broke, too. three houses in danger. ours is ruined and will be bulldozed. hopefully others can be saved. we are overwhelmed with gratitude for this community of friends and new friends who are so amazing. we are in the new house safe with our 3 cats. they even brought the pots with Shelley's iris bulbs over. miss my mfp family.

    This is what I have so far.

    Shelley, she just forwarded the email to my phone. I don't have her email address. I did send her a text telling her you wanted her to call you.

    Making better choices today. I've just been lazy and using Ronan as an excuse to snack.

    I don't like January so far except for now weighing 166.5 pounds.

    Just checking in from the Puente nonprofit free wifi (bless them). There is now an 8 ft cliff between our houses. It has destroyed three homes. Hopefully no one else is in the path and it will not spread. We are afraid to unpack as the landslide is growing by the hour (mostly dropping down in the earth, not spreading out).

    Need to logoff.

    Love
    Paula

    Congrats on your weight, Paula. I passed on everything else to our Wampus Den just to keep them informed. Hope everything gets settled soon. Can't even imagine.
