@Snowflake1968 your new deck looks amazing! Great job decorating! Really like the square metal planters on the steps.

@clicketykeys WTG on lowest weigh-in!! Yea!!

@cschmitz110515 Thanks for your continuing prayers ... it means a great deal.

@jenwalkingfurther Sodium is difficult for me to keep low as well, darn it! Drink extra water for a couple of days; that usually helps me.

@teigansdad Raspberries!! YUM!! Hope you did well in your race.

@TerriRichardson112 Thank you for your prayers.

Last night had wonderful phone chat ex-roommate from college. Except her hubby was trying to contribute about trivial stuff early in the call. We wore him out, though ~ our call lasted two hours! I really miss her, wish we weren't so many miles apart.

Working in my office today. Learned when I signed in at the front desk (new protocol) the father of someone who works down the hall from my dept. passed away several days ago and tested positive. He was elderly and apparently had lots of underlying health issues. The receptionist (not wearing a mask) stressed wearing my mask, and CFO also down the hall stressed social distancing, which we do anyway. Just a little paranoid now.

2020 Goals: Word for 2020: Persist

@Snowflake1968 I love your deck! Very nicely done! You SHOULD be proud! Building a deck is hard work and yours turned out perfect. Love the lights around the outside of it!

@cesse47 It sounds like you are getting quite the daily workout!! Your brother is lucky to have you! You are doing important things that he doesn't have to take time out to do and that is a HUGE help! I am so sorry about what your community is going through, but I do love hearing about the people coming together and helping. It restores my faith in humanity. Hugs to you! :flowerforyou:

@cschmitz110515 You are a Rock Star to walk with your dog yesterday morning! It had to be brutal with that humidity! I would've dropped after one block! I'm sorry to hear about your colleague's father! I also would be paranoid...I'm still furloughed and not hatin' it! I'm going to be extremely paranoid to go back to work. I travel between clinics to support providers some days and I'm high risk...just want to retire and not go back at this point!

@PackerFanInGB - congratulations on getting under 180. I made it there last summer for about 5 minutes and am right back to 200 as of this morning. I need to get at it again as none of my clothes fit.

@HEGoddard0928 - welcome back! What is the next step with your novel? Do you have to find an agent?

My day went better than expected. Hopefully tomorrow is the same.

Have a great day y'all!

Well I found a dress for the wedding and an outfit for the bridal shower. Clothes shopping is tough because you can’t try things on and I don’t wear a consistent size. I bought clothes at the 3 stores that were open. Came home tried them on, then returned all of said clothes and bought more clothes. I have another pile of returns.

My oldest went with me for the second trip and we took time to get mani/pedis. It was nice spending time with her. Then did a 3.5 mile walk for a total of 17k steps yesterday.

I got to bed before11:00, but woke up at 1:45am. It’s now 3:30 and I’m updating my JFT. Not good but a little too common right now.

No real plans other than work and fake tanning today. I think iris supposed to rain all day.

Have a great day y’all!

Morning ladies and gents! I hope you are all doing wonderful this morning. It's 6:11 am here right now. I've been up for about an hour. This is the earliest I've been awake since before my surgery in February. It's kinda nice but also pretty terrible at the same time. Lol. My bff from Seattle is still awake from last night because she's 3 hours behind us. It's such a strange feeling knowing that I'm up for the day and she hasn't been to sleep yet. Lol.

So today is Matt's first day back to work since the middle of March and he only fell asleep about an hour ago. His alarm is going to ring in 15 minutes. I feel bad for him because he's working a 10-hour shift today too. It'll be a really easy day for him and I'm going to stock him full of caffeine before he leaves so hopefully that will help too. This is what he gets for spending his entire time off staying up late playing video games. I know that some of it are also probably worries. But I think he'll be okay. He'll just be dead tired when he gets home.

I don't know what I'm going to do for the 12ish hours I'll be home alone today though. For the last two months, I've been home with Matt and now I won't be. It's going to be such a change. I'll have to figure out what to do with myself! Lol. I'll probably do some writing. It's supposed to be 80+ degrees out today and humid so a walk probably won't be happening. I have to return some things to the store and I have to go pick up a few things at a different store so maybe I'll go do that too. I have to be home for a heating oil delivery though. I want to top off our tank while the prices are still super low.

Wow...Sorry for the ramble! Onto some goals

JFT, 5/29/20

- STAY AWAKE! Do not go back to sleep!
- Oil delivery
- Write the next scene
- Return items to Walmart
- Pick up coffee at Ollie's
- Make a comprehensive shopping list
- Look over bills
- Update check book
- Do day two of workout plan/yoga
- Look for a new series to start reading

Okay so that's a few more things than I thought. Lol

@Snowflake1968 Right now the novel I just finished needs some HEAVY edits but I'm leaving it alone for a time while I work on this next completely different one. I can't decide if I want to go the traditional publishing route or if I want to self publish. The main reason I wouldn't want to self-pub is because it can cost a lot of money upfront for the possibility of not much return but trad-pub is a lot of work trying to find agents and publishers who want to work with your story. It's also A LOT of rejection. Most authors these days end up going the self-pub route because they've given up on finding an agent or they just don't want to be bothered with it. My book of poetry is self-pubbed but I do little to no marketing for it so there are no sales. That's the main issue(other than the cost) with that avenue. You have to do all of your own marketing. It's definitely not easy. Especially if you're trying to write another novel and working/raising a family all at the same time. Sorry for writing this novel as an explanation.

Okay. I think that's it. Love you guys!

👍🏻 Great to see you posting again. Cut yourself some slack, and don’t stress too much about slipping back. I think we’re all in the same boat with this situation.
Hurrah for the unemployment coming through.
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 every goes well today when Matt goes back to work.

Looks like you plan to keep busy. Don’t forget to pamper yourself a little and enjoy the freedom.

I’ve been working on my memoir, prompted by a request from my grandson for an unusual birthday present for his birthday just before Easter. He asked DH and me to answer questions about our lives, then subsequently sent us 56 questions. Fortunately, I have already got a mountain of pieces already, and DH and I have been enjoying collaborating on the project. I’m putting it together and printing it out for him, but I’m gonna need a bigger folder than I thought. I may get it printed later and give copies to the rest of the family later.
