    @Snowflake1968 So pleased to see your post. It must be such a difficult and worrying time for you both. I also miss my girls and their families, but am so grateful for the technology which helps us to stay in touch.
    I take heart from knowing that we are doing our best for them by staying apart.
    I find it comforting to come on here and stay in touch.

    Praying for both of you to be safe in these trying times. 💕💖💕🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    First morning of 'getting around to posting' and so far so good, yay! Not that much time though as snoozed for ten minutes and also have a meeting (/call!) starting shortly. But just about have time to post some quick goals:

    So good to see you back ... we all missed you! Crazy times, isn't it. Makes us realize how small the world is, and how connected we all are.

    I struggled with exercise today and was late completing it. Mum has been very poorly and I was tired, she was a bit better today and I had less time between waking and spending quality time with her.

    I fully enjoyed my pass day yesterday. I was way under goal until I started on the Prosecco 🍷 with dinner. Technically still in the green, 😂 But overdid the 🍫 and 🍟, so I have a a lovely wee sodium birthday bounce up 😂 😂 😂 this morning.

    I am grateful...
    • ...that I had such a lovely birthday yesterday. DED sent me emergency supply (6 tubs) of my favourite Drink Me Chai Latte. I was saving my last serving of this for my birthday. DYD brought Prosecco and Rose 🍷 and we visited in the garden. DH gave me a chocolate orange (mmmm didn't last long!) and some gourmet crisps, and organised a lovely healthy birthday meal.
    • ...that the Birthday bounce up was relatively painless. Still under my 150 goal.
    • ...that our family had a starwatch last night. We were hoping to see the Starlink Satellite train pass over our respective homes. Some success, but we missed the Sat train. However we did see a wondrous meteor shower in progress.
    • For all those essential workers still going out there....
      🙏🏻 Thank you for your service 🙏🏻

    - log everything🟢
    - Stay green🟢
    - Exercise (probably lifting routine)🟢
    - Dishes/ laundry🟢🟢
    - Pick something around the house to organize🟢 - organized my pots and pans

    🌴I should be in Florida right now😕🌴 we cancelled the trip early on in this craziness. It was just going to be me and my husband. It would have been nice to get away, but it’s not a huge loss. I guess the delay gives me more time to get in shape and maybe I will even be comfortable in a bikini by the time we reschedule. 😎

    JFT TUESDAY:
    - homeschool
    - Log everything
    - Stay green
    - Exercise (try cardio...hopefully the rain holds off)
    - Shopping at BJs (warehouse club store)
    - Dishes/laundry
    - Set up virtual call for B
    - Set up virtual dance for E
