@PackerFanInGB - I like your goals for learning new things. I am going to try to write this year too. I need to get at it. I want to write a memoir for my daughters for Christmas but use my Mom's and Grandmother's diaries to jog my memory of a particular day. I will put their diary entries in the book as well. I have a lot of pictures I can add to it as well. I need to get at it, as it's almost July! - Love the new pic!

@HEGoddard0928 - I hope you have a better day today.

@annettehangartner - Letting adult children use your kitchen and take over is a tough one to do. I did it for the first time on Christmas this past year with my youngest and her new husband. It was hard to sit back and do, but they put on a fabulous dinner and cleaned up just as I would have. I was so impressed. Welcome!

@TerriRichardson112 - How is the project for your Grandson coming along? Did he look up the questions somewhere or did he write them himself?

@kuhl50 - I hope your boss appreciates your hard work and you are compensated for the long days.

@jenwalkingfurther - Chips are my kryptonite as well. I need to just stop buying them. I had done that previously, I didn't buy them for probably 5 years. If I really wanted some I had to go to the store and buy them and I would only buy a small bag. Since Covid has hit, I've been buying big family sized bags and I need to stop! There is only my husband and I at home.

@littleblackskirt - I hope you have a nicer day today weather wise.

@aubyshortcake - Irrational bosses are the best aren't they? I have had a few of them and am dealing with a boss whose manner I don't care for now too. It sucks because I really enjoy the job, but I don't know how long I'll be able to put up with her.

@teigansdad - I got my insurance renewed and paid for, now I need to remember to register the car for the next year by next Wednesday. You keep reminding me.

@AJB1014 - I keep getting that "unavailable" message as well. It usually works the 2nd or 3rd try though.

@fstrickl - This board is the best. It helped me lose 25lbs. If I had truly kept it up, I don't think I would be trying to lose 20 of that again.

@suzij27 - Evening snacking is my downfall every single night. I've been trying to remember what I used to do to stop it and I think what I did was allow myself one per night and then I would brush my teeth. I need to get back to that habit as I hate eating after brushing my teeth for a couple hours. My snacking is under control until around 9 when my husband goes to bed and then I get bored.

@busoxnardmg - 0.2 is still a loss. When I was losing regularly I found the weekly weigh-ins discouraging. I started weighing daily and tracking my weight in an Excel sheet. I then averaged it weekly and monthly and found that I was actually losing on average 1lb a week. It was encouraging and just what I needed to do. I also took measurements and was surprised to find inches gone before pounds usually.

@pridesabtch - Good luck with the big @$$ hill, I bet you can do it! I hope you find some relief to help you sleep, lack of sleep wreaks havoc on our whole life. My eldest daughter suffers terribly with insomnia, I was at a dispensary the other day and saw a new product that she is trying, she told me last night it is working well.

@PackerFanInGB - Why does the unknown cause us so much worry? I can handle almost anything but that. I like your idea of trying new things. I am going to try to write a book this year for my daughters, I am going to use my Mom's and Grandmother's diaries as a way to jog my memory on certain days and write a memoir for them. I have a lot of pictures I can put in as well. I think it will be nice for them to have 3 generations perspective on certain family events.

Well, again I have spent an hour on here this morning. I had everything all typed and hit the wrong button and lost it so had to start again.

I went and got my hair cut and coloured last night by my youngest daughter. She is not back at work yet, but is going at the end of the month so we decided it was safer for me to do it now. I had parcels come to my house for my eldest daughter so she came to pick them up and visited with us while it was being done. It was the first time since February we have all been together. It was so nice!

Today and tomorrow all staff and residents are being tested for Covid here in the nursing home. I think that this is just a way for the government to prove we are all safe and then they will allow visits again. I'm not sure if that's true or not, I guess time will tell.

I am hoping that the weather stays nice into the evening and I can go for a walk to try out my new shoes tonight.

Have a great day everyone.

- work on 3 outline bullet points
- Healthy lunch
- Figure out a quick and easy dinner(NO TAKE OUT!!!) No take out but I think it was just a huge bag of popcorn...
- Pay attention to hunger/full signals
- refresh my brain in my learn to code app

Yesterday was a nightmare. I forgot about a doctor's appt in the afternoon. Thank God I had set a reminder for an hour ahead on my phone. The appt went fine. It was just a follow up for my medication change. I had 3 different bouts of anxiety yesterday and when the last one wore off around 4ish I turned into a raging monster. I managed to keep my temper with Matt but all I wanted to do all night was break/throw something. I was not a happy girl. Which turned into me eating half a huge bag of white cheddar popcorn and 3 glasses of wine for dinner. I'm feeling better today but now I'm bored and I have a pretty strong that nothing is going to get done today either.

I have a week to get my story outline hammered out. If I were to sit down and do it, it probably wouldn't take me long at all. I have the basics of a pretty decent summary of what I want to do with it but actually sitting down and typing the damn thing up is going to be the death of me. The first day of drafting the rough draft is next Wednesday so I until then to do it.

Onto a few goals, I guess,

Why I’m even bothering to put “lights out 9:45” on a week where I know I’m working crazy hours is pretty silly. But this is just this one week, then a bit of a break next. Today’s long meeting went well, and if you’re going to work so hard it’s gratifying to have people give you unsolicited compliments on the effectiveness of the work!

I did manage to fit in weights and some biking during a call (above 90–too hot to walk). I was over on calories, mostly because DD decided to make homemade pasta (for the first time) for dinner and it wasn’t ready until 8–I was starving.

Happy Wednesday everyone!
