    Saltine - yay it worked! I think Saltine and I figured out how to find each other on fitbit if anyone else is interested :smile:

    What’s your username?

    Saltine could not find me. but I think it is Lynn B. That is the best I can find when I go into my profile. or try my email brennerjlb4@gmail.com

    Saltine - WOW! congrats on the offer!
    Lana - very glad you liked the meeting! You will find the magic!
    Sara - I too like that cabinet. Seems like a great organizer for yarn! I am sending you hugs. Sorry the audit is not going well...
    Missy - I tried finding you by username Missy S. wouldn't let me I trust you guys - try searching by my email?

    saltine & brenner - how do you find/add friends on fitbit??

    Ha! apparently I have no idea. Saltines worked great. I cannot find Missy S. Saltine could not find me....I can't even find how to change my username... on my phone I hit community, add friends, then I searched by username. there is a search by email. I listed mine above if you want to try.

    we have an opening in another sub department and I asked what that person would work, it is something I have some experience with, but I would have to speak to my Sup about changing. I will sleep on it - with Miss T on my new sofa bed.

    part 2

    it is not that I have to ask my Sup permission, but I do need to let her know that I am applying for the open position, which I can do - on my to do list for tomorrow.

    Sofa bed is in and fits space very well. Will watch computer while sitting with dog on sofa bed.

    To do list tomorrow after audit is to inform Sup that I am applying for other position. If I dont try the answer is no and I can discuss in a possible interview what I know about those payers which is something.

    Food choices tomorrow are marginally bad pizza and sugar/ice. Will take one of my P3 to add salt to the list.

    Wishing all a good night.

    WEDNESDAY

    Good morning,

    Windows open which is appreciated.

    Next project getting my yarn disaster put to rights (think this summer) and getting a cabinet like this but taller.

    For at least awhile I may have to take my water pills again as it is just so hot.

    Wave to all who follow. Lurking on this day I go in and deal with the aged claims in my file.


    Love that cabinet!

    Sara- good luck with job! Hope you get it, if you truly want it...

    Lana- did you have company on your walk? Glad you found a meeting you like. You will get back on track and kick butt!

    Saltine- congrats on the house! Share pics when you can!

    Lynn- I have to have DH help me with anything to do with technology. I joke that's why I married him. Not reason. But, very glad to have his help!

    THURSDAY

    Good morning,

    New sofa bed is taking a little getting used to - dog finally figured out she had more room and then she was sleeping in many places. Have been up a good part of this morning already - water pill back on daily so with HOT temps .....

    Found a state job I can apply for as well. Requires travel but will apply anyway.

    Apply for job/audit and company lunch - pizza and shaved ice. Serious nutrition here :s . Will try and supplement as I can. Lurking as I go.

    Hello all!
    Saltine- LOVE the house. Looks like great shade and yard. Will keep my fingers crossed all goes well.
    Sara - glad your dog loves the bed :wink: Our life mission is to make them happy :wink: Good luck in the job search. Been thinking about you today. We have State Surveyors here today auditing our programs and even if there is a concern about something missed - everyone is supportive and positive. We do not use it as a "gotcha" tool. Not a good environment there...
    Finally warming up here in WI. Mosquitoes are out though...why do I live here? not really sure.
    Today's weigh in puts me down 13 pounds since I have been chatting with you all with my constant wedding chatter! Thinking I may hit the 180 mark for the wedding!

    I applied for 2 job openings (same job title) in department today, I dont give it much hope -so I started asking around and there is a job opening in payment posting (not yet listed) and 2 openings possible in another area that my skills would transfer over. Sup was asking her people if they knew anyone. I will ask that Sup tomorrow if she might have time to talk about the positions.

    Tired from audit and fixing audit. So I hope to sleep well.

    Wishing all a good night.

    FRIDAY

    Good morning,

    Slept in part on new sofa bed and part in recliner. TGIF all over the place.

    ig2rj7sws0q2.png

    Hoping for more sleep and will need some strong tea. Weighed myself in my "outfit" down more than 2 pounds - all water. So will keep taking water pills. Too much stress and too hot, so ankles feet were getting too puffy

    Will keep you posted on last night's post update.

    Morning! Saltine, Great looking house! Hey Lynn - Got a new Blaze, so may join ya'll as fitbit friends.
    Sara - Hope you find a new position and a good fit.
    Meeting the girls for a run in the morning. We've been walking some, but haven't run since the knee blew last year. We will see. Weighed in this morning for the first time in weeks and it was not a pretty picture.
    Busy day and busy weekend coming up.

    TGIF!
    Lurking..
    Suzu - why did you get Blaze - can I ask. I got a fitbit Zip through work on a walking/health incentive thing. We then earn points and can "buy" stuff from the healthy shop. I am looking at what to get for my wrist. I would LOVE something with a GPS because I am a hiker. But that increases the cost so much. I am so torn as to which one to get. Thanks!

    Time seems to be flying and I've been so busy I haven't been able to keep up. (Again). I had the interview last Wednesday and got called on Monday to go to a second interview on Tuesday. I went for that and was offered the position, I had my first day yesterday. I had a lot of commitments already made due to the wedding so I am working sporadically until July 15th when I go full time.

    I am waiting for Michaela to arrive as I am watching her today while Lauryn works, Kaitlyn is also coming to craft some. My house is a disaster and I need to get it cleaned. I did get a bed set up for my MIL's visit and I need to do some other stuff with the craft room to make room for another bed in there.

    Sara - I wish you all the best for a new position. It is a terrible feeling being in a job that isn't going well.

    Lynn - Another wedding! You must be excited.

    Spoke with Sup in department w/ job opening and very transferable skills, got the position # and can apply when it opens next week. She was not surprised when I asked to speak to her and she was wondering months ago if I was interested. So we shall see.

    Time to curl up with Miss Tillie in an hour after her last outing.

    Wishing all a good night.

    Whoo Whoo Tracy!!! Way to go on the job and good luck!

    Sara - Good luck and prayers for you to get out of your current toxic stew! That position coming up sounds promising.

    Lynn - I got my husband a Blaze for Christmas last year because it looks more like a "regular" watch. He never wore it and mine died, so I raided the box. Yep, it has GPS. I don't like it as well as my big old clunky FitBit they don't make anymore, but it's ok.

    About to go run. Let us pray!

    SATURDAY

    Good morning,

    Ran into neighbor who is wanting to use the gym more often and invited me to join her. That may actually happen, so having people to buddy with helps.

    Slept better than I have in a while and saw the next decade down on the scale - water all water gain. A lot of loss for one week, but needed to happen.

    Will look at freezer to see what my next week meals might be.

    I will try when I apply for job next week to see if I can get a referral bonus for friend who quickly told me about position. Sup in new job said that there is a trend of people taking pay cuts to stay with company but changing jobs - you think they would get the hint???? Also hearing that the company merge with another company is creating new culture that many long timers in my company will not like. Sounds like changes are coming. Get out the whine- meter and watch it soar!! Okay enough of that it is the weekend.

    Lana walk as much as you can this weekend - so your food choices wont be complete bricks on the scale. I know you like to eat in stress (come sit on the comfy eating couch with me) try and balance it out when you can.

    How Y'all doing 😊,
    Working hard logging and staying on task has paid off. 16lbs down since 1,00000000 restart 🤗.
    It sure is hot walking in the peach state 🍊.
