Hi Runa! Glad that you've gotten in some safe dancing 💃🏻
Missy - Sending good vibes that things go your way.....when will you know?
Sara - 2 casseroles! Plus hair color - Yay!
Tomorrow noon-ish I'm flying up to NYC for doctor, dentist, and other appointments. I haven't been there since February. I'm there for 1.5 weeks. At least it's not hot any more.

Good morning everybody~~
Just getting us started.
Everybody have a good and safe day~~

Good morning,
Casserole done and quiche in the oven - not enough cookware for 2 casseroles at a time but 10 meals are almost done - keeps me from eating out and eating frozen entrees as much.
Will go help with the Food Pantry donations so many steps today.
Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.0 -
5300 steps done mostly at church helping people with their pantry donations. Slept soundly when I got home. Steak salad for dinner (greens/steak/cheddar cheese/pumpkin seeds with bbq /mayo dressing), hopefully large enough to keep sweet tooth away.0

Good morning,
It is hot enough here still......
Scale history tells me I have not been this weight since March. So whatever I am doing I will keep going.
It is Monday so a strong cup of tea is waiting.
Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.

Pouring rain in Tennessee today. Good test for my new roof.
I believe I have told everyone how far I have gone off plan. I am now reaping the "benefits."
Exhausted, in pain, insides hurt all the time. Even with all the lovely side effects, I do not have the mental capacity to eat properly. I need to change. Haven't even been on the scale in weeks.
I was informed last week that I will be flying to Arizona in seven weeks. I am selected to assist with training the new technicians on their reporting software.
Have a great day, everyone. Make the best choices you can in the situation you have.

Good morning Sara~~
Thanks for getting us going today. Yes, indeed - keep doing what all you are doing, because it is sending your numbers in the right direction.
Tracy, I understand where you are at with all this and the "benefits".
When you go to Arizona, how long will you be there?
Well, my week of annoyances have started here (in my apartment) in NYC. This apartment is in such disrepair, but of course, I never had the skills to fix things or the money to have someone else do it.... very depressing. However, I am going to work at staying with healthy foods. I am sick of being up at my highest weight ever.
Time to put on my Sisyphus Hat and struggle with pushing the rock up the hill.

We will be there three days. Fly on Monday, train Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, return flight on Friday. My flying partner has global entry, but I will have to stand in lines.0 -
Hello all!
Tracy and Lana and others - why is is so darn easy to fall back into the bad habits, especially when we know the good eating habits make us feel better. I am pretty high again as well. A bit over a year since my daughters wedding and up almost 13 pounds. dumb! Can blame covid and stress, but that is just no ok. I talked myself into being worth the change again and hoping to keep going!
Sara - way to go on the productive weekend!
Missy - so I have a Garmin watch too. I have the app on my phone - maybe we can challenge each other on steps or something. No idea how
I had a fitbit through work for a bit...lost that somewhere. So my watch is my step counter.
Happy Monday all! Past the mid point of October - amazing. Freezing temps last night - 27 degrees! Better find my winter gear!

Good morning,
Still warm here. No rain doo dah doo dah.
Bag of candy is open will have to ration myself.
Trying to get more steps in again even if it means walking around my place (it is amusing as it is so small).
Wave to all who follow - stay safe and sane out there.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday.
Starting my day with a virtual meeting. Getting tired of these...
Have a great one!2 -

Hey Tracy - There likely won't be any lines for you at the airport. Each airline is flying fewer flights per day, and there are not a lot of people on the flights that are going. I have flown twice now in the past month or so, there was no waiting at security at O'Hare or Raleigh or LaGuardia NYC.
However, beware if you are taking the first flight of the day, because security can get a bit jammed with all of the 8AM flyers clogging up the lines for the 6AM flyers...

Waving to Sara and Lynn and anyone else who stops by later on.....

Happy Tuesday! Still no word yet for position. But I’m taking that at no news is good news.
My youngest husky, Karamel, turned 3 years old yesterday still a wild one. He thought it would be cool to run from the back of the groomers, open the front door for a run and me sprinting after him. Thank the good Lord I caught him.
@brennerjlb I’ll message you my email for connecting on Garmin.
It’s rainy here in RI and I think I’m going to skip church crew tonight. Have a guy coming over after 4 to give me an estimate on trees being taken down.
Hope everyone is having a great day!2 -

Wednesday! Halfway through the week.
Thank you for that info, Lana! I will likely not have any choice in the travel arrangements. Not actually getting my hopes up that I even get to go. I've been asked to travel several times before and something usually happens to keep me from going. My boss decides I am not really necessary after all or someone else decides they want to go instead.
Like when we were learning the software I am now going to teach, my entire department went to Germany for two weeks, except me. Even two people who are agoraphobic (read "begged not to go") and prone to illness when away from home went while I stayed home. Actually, I don't even know how to do the stuff I'm supposed to teach in December. I have to learn it before then.
On the health front, my body has now said, "You had your fun. Time to get back to basics." I have something terribly wrong in my intestines ( assuming diverticulitis). I will be on a liquid diet at least until Friday. Plus side--not even remotely hungry. Minus side--in so much pain I can barely walk or sleep. Bowling tonight will be fun!

Good morning Tracy! So sorry to hear that your digestive tract is giving you such discomfort. You know what to do, so I hope that you get to feel better soon! Hugs! 🤗
Missy - that must have been like a madcap cartoon - you running after Karamel! 😜
Still sending good vibes for good news on the work situation.
Good morning to everyone else who stops by later on. I must rush to be ready on time for my dental appointment. I cannot believe that this will be my first cleaning and checkup in a year. Dang covid!

Good morning,
Mid week what a relief. Went to pick up my work chair. Just put down the arms as it is not ergo correct so I am thinking someone was using my chair - oh well. Monster had a hissy fit as usual (are you sure it wasnt tomorrow?) and MADE SURE I knew that it is company property and if its broken or stolen its on me - so glad I dont live in her head.
Food choices are good - except for the Halloween candy. Ooops.
Missy - I need a small dog so I have a chance of it not getting away or pulling me too hard on a walk. Glad you are both well and safe. Fingers crossed for work potential.
Tracey, glad you have a plan in place. Your boss should meet mine!!! In a locked room with padding.
Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
*snapping fingers for Cabana Boys to bring lunch*
Sara - I know you know this, but I have been seeing a lot of uplifting reminders about being less reactive to people who get in our face and upset us, talking about being aware and not letting their foul behavior cause a knee-jerk unhealthy reaction in us...... that people are showing us, with their behavior towards us, what they are all about.
Monster must be a very troubled person, and she has that bad juju leaking out all around herself, and enjoys it when it splashes on you. I know you know this, but I want to support you.
I overheard Jean Michel and Max (where did Max come from?) discussing the flight plans for the Gulfstream flight out to Sacramento with packages for you! 💜
Lana0 -
Lana I often find myself amused at the ways she tries to cause trouble and irritate me. Just shake my head. Oh yeah its a hot psychic mess nobody at work wants to go near. She is also showing signs of forgetting things....
Cboy care package? Wowie!! Will keep my eye out. Lots of construction going on but they look more like ZZTop than GQ..
Hang in there.0 -
You know Sara, I treasure that card with the photo of Mario on it. It never fails to bring a smile to my face. I even keep a copy in my laptop photo collection......
However, ZZTop guys are definitely better than Mario, right?
Laughing Lana0 -
THURSDAY
Good morning,
Lana- I forgot about Mario and yes that is about what I am looking at. Scuzzy guys with that seriously disgusting look on their face! Thank you for the reminder.....
Hard to get out of bed when it is so nice and warm. Temps are coming down to wear a light sweater was 90 last week.
Halloween has found my patio. Neighbor installed an inflatable witch. So this witch keeps the other one away? I can only hope.
Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Had a little send off for my supervisor today. Hate to see him go but with the position/pay he was offered, the decision was a no-brainer! He did say that when/if he gets in position to bring in an admin, it will be me. I am not holding my breath on that, of course.
Missy - keeping my fingers crossed for you & the new position.
Sara - wow. sounds like Monster is truly a monster! Hopefully someone did not swap out your chair or anything like that!
Lana - good to know you are keeping CBs on their toes and keeping an eye out for Mario!
Tracy - sure hope they get you spun up on what you are supposed to teach BEFORE you have to teach it! and sending healing vibes for your "innards!"
Went out to eat last night and the scale reflected it this morning. Ate pizza for lunch today so scale will be mean to me tomorrow too.
Tomorrow starts my work from home as I have to quarantine 5 days before the TEE and a few days after. Whee!

Enrollment for benefits at work "started" today and my trainer and I were discussing them. She needs to see a dentist and I told her that my dentist is down the street from a Sees Candy shoppe (think Fannie May Candy if you are in the Midwest) which I have often frequented before or after dental treatment.....
Witch decoration on patio is a success and there may be a Christmas competition for patio decoration.....
Hang in there drink that water and get those steps!!0 -
Hi Sara, Hi Kathryn~~
I almost forgot to get here today. I don't even remember this morning, it was so busy. Wow.
Good thing that MFP sends out those little reminders to check in.....
Lana0 -
Good evening,
Okay you know its bad when 2 of your coworkers give 2 week notice or resign on the same day. Mario would almost be a welcome sight at this point. We are down to 6 people when we are set up for 12 people working. Monster gets no sympathy from the peanut gallery about having to interview for 3 positions.0 -
*** October 23rd ***
Good morning everyone!
Sara - Do you know why the two people are leaving/have left? Are they going to other jobs outside of the company?
Too many people across the country have no work because of the pandemic, so it surprises me to hear that your two colleagues have left voluntarily.
Monster must be freaking out. This will splash onto you, so beware!
Waving to all who stop by later on~~
Lana0 -
Good morning,
TGIF!!
Lana - I am first in line for Monster's crap. One person I know got a job in another company and the other one resigned so can possibly get another job with the company depending on why they resigned. Monster has sent us an email saying things will change for all of us. She now has to interview for 3 positions.... that is just staggering.
Today I have a short day - eye apt - first is a test. Then I go get lunch (brought a book and knitting) and then see Dr. They are concerned my cataract may have advanced too far..... Need to keep my benefits so I can do any kind of medical intervention. I am so afraid of anyone touching this eye as it is the one I live out of, but I need to be brave.
Need to buy winter pants afterwards, so shopping with any luck afterwards.
Will stop by and update. Wave to all who follow. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Good morning!
Sara - Monsters never really see that they are the issue. THAT is the issue. Sadly.
Good morning Lana, Kathryn, Dawn, Missy Maureen and all others who stop by.
Have a great Friday!1 -
Good afternoon,
Eye dr wants to keep a closer tab on my eyes and nothing is "wrong" yet so quarterly testing.
I will have to move my work computer back to work as it has been determined that I am not being trained correctly via zoom. It would be fine if training happened all day long, but it wont and boss will make jabs at me when she can so I am considering a small recording device.
Beef stroganoff for lunch with leftovers for lunch tomorrow and a mini bundt chocolate cake for dinner dessert. Also bought 3 tops and 2 pairs of pants I can wear to work.
Time to get more steps in and then snooze.0 -
My contact says it was my trainer who threw me under the bus to make me come back. Said my computer wasnt fast enough to do training. She is not allowed any of my chocolate, ever.0
