K-3 are scheduled to be in the classroom starting March 1. She said the system here is already short 3000 (!) teachers. IMHO, they can’t afford to fire those who refuse to be in person or to have them quit.
@quiltingjaine — I’m actually in Nevada, too, and the system for teacher certification is ridiculous. I would love to teach HS English and/or social studies, but to qualify for certification I’d need to do a bunch of unnecessary training. I have a masters in English and a masters in Education with 10 years of college teaching experience but can’t get certified to teach K12 unless I go back to do unnecessary schooling. It’s idiotic.
Teaching is the most important job for the future of our nation and yet our educators are underpaid, overworked, unappreciated, and put at extreme risk. Don’t get me started!4 -

02/05 - 145.9 - NEW LOW!!!!! I'm so happy. Been trying to stay focused. Feeling extra squishy today but wondering if that's body recomposition - some areas have faster fat loss based on my body type and those areas may be accentuation places with less fat loss? I'm not sure. I can't trust my scale. Although it shows BF%, it always fluctuates way more that what it should (talking it'll fluctuate daily up to 8%BF, usually same 3% up and down). Wish there was a bodpod near me. Used to use that in the army to identify if certain changes were working and it gave a much different reading than my scale (like 28% and small increments of change vs scale saying I'm at 36% with daily large changes.) Anyway, fasted 17hrs (BF made breakfast) and about 100oz water yesterday. Aiming for much of the same today. Need to figure out lunch and dinner (since BF will be gone tonight). Got some frozen veggies yesterday and thinking maybe salmon?

Previous Day's Comments02/01 - My weight is down from yesterday, but my bloat is the worst its been in a verrrrrry long time. Not entirely sure what is going on but I'm thinking there's a lot of little things adding up quickly. Fasted 14.5hrs yesterday. Had pre-made sub for lunch. Ended up eating Whataburger (fast food) for dinner because by the time we finished at the land, it was late and we had nothing to cook at our house (at least not thawed). Water was good, drank about 72oz which isn't bad since we ran out of water. Probably needed more, but still better than before! Lots of movement. It'll come down, I'm sure of it. Especially since weekdays are pretty easy and BF will be out this weekend, or at least Friday evening/Saturday. Much easier to fast when he's not around and cooking for himself (mmmm bacon).
02/02 - Inching back down. Have some bloat in my low low belly (below belly button but not so much above it). I think that's just the price I'm paying for the weekend. So long as I keep to my goals, it'll go away. 16hr fast, 90oz water. Had deer chili with a sweet potato-apple bake. Interesting, but quite good. Making steaks tonight. Bought some mushrooms to attempt drunken mushrooms (beer braised), and a sack of potatoes for garlic mashed potatoes. Leftover potatoes, I had in mind a baked potato for lunch. I have butter, cheese, bacon bits, and some frozen chopped bell pepper to cook up and add which makes me really excited for it. Need to buy some broccoli on my next grocery trip - cheesy broccoli baked potato is a favorite and I haven't had it in awhile. I'm salivating thinking about it! haha
02/03 - Still coming down slowly. Fasted 16.5hr, drank 90oz water. Not much to update, I think? Oh,I was approved and set my appointment to get PRK in 2 weeks (the 18th). I'll be off and unable to post for 4-5 days after surgery (I believe it'll be end of next round, beginning of R142). Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I can to update everyone! As for my Godson, his white blood cell count is really high and doctors are stumped. We are all holding our breaths for it to lower and be normal. He's doing really well otherwise and just as crazy as can be (for a 2.5yr old, that is. Definitely a wildchild)
02/04 - Had a good day. Pushed fasting out to 17hr with ease, and easily managed 90oz water. Another baked potato for lunch (I made two the day before) and had enchilada soup for dinner. Finished early enough that I may be able to push to an 18hr fast today! Think I'll eat some leftover butter noodles and ground beef for lunch (need to figure out how to dress it up) then getting rolls and roast beef for French Dip tonight. So yum!

02/0902/01 - I love my body She may not be perfect, and I may not always love her as I should, but she never gives up. The bloating I'm dealing with is her trying to keep us alive despite me not taking the best care of us. She does what she needs to do to make sure we stay as alive and healthy as possible. She works hard and though she may not be as strong as she once was and has some titanium upgrades, she still helps me walk, run, play, and work. And shoutout to my body for her dedication to us: ruck marching 12 miles on torn ligaments and tendons in my ankle with 30lbs, learning to walk and exceeding the necessary requirements for release after my back surgery (when there was a chance I'd lose use of my left leg and potentially both legs), suffering through a torn intestine (first time we ever fasted 3 days!), and just plain surviving what I (and life) throws at her for both of us. Body, you're a complete bada**. I absolutely do not love and appreciate you enough, but I'm so glad you love me unconditionally.02/05 - I love my pups - I have 2 but MY baby is with my parents. Rebel is my little babygirl. Love her to death and miss her like absolute crazy every single day. Thankfully mom and dad send pictures, let me talk to her on the phone, and spoil her for me when I pester them about it. Then there's the dog I live with, Harley. She's a pain, but she's also a total love bug. I'll have a picture in a separate post. If I need some love and snuggles, she's RIGHT THERE. I joke with BF she's my dog during the day and his at night when she snuggles with him in bed (before he stops petting her and she uses my feet as a pillow). Poor baby goes to get spayed the Monday before I get lasers shot into my eye. We will surely be comforting each other that week.
02/02 - I love this group This group is an escape. A getaway. A place I can go when life gets a little heavy or when I have something amazing nobody else would truly understand or appreciate. I never thought I'd ever open up enough online (its a scary place) to call anyone a friend, but I consider all of you my friends. My little 10-day family on repeat. Not only are we all on a journey to health, but we are on a journey to get the most out of life and its beyond inspiring. Without this group, I know I wouldn't be making the progress I am. Reading all your successes keeps me going, knowing it IS possible. Without everyone here posting about their struggles, I wouldn't understand my own and how to overcome them. I look forward to coming here every day, not always to post about me, but to read how everyone is doing. I'm invested in your journey. I worry about you when things get tough and wait impatiently for the next day's post to see if you're okay. I'm truly excited for you when things go wonderful. Especially during COVID when it's hard to get together, I'm not missing out on this group. We come together regardless and it brings so much normalcy back when normal isn't possible elsewhere in my life. I appreciate all of you so much
02/03 - I love my family I'm talking about my blood family AND my chosen family. They're all there for me, all the time. My blood family is small but we are close. We share struggles (yes, my parents share their struggles. Completely transparent) and good times. They've led me to things I didn't particularly want but have set me up in life now (a begudging thanks). My chosen family...well, I chose them because they feel like family. We have zero ties other than our love for one another and that is something absolutely amazing to me. They are the reason I finally got to move to Texas after years of wanting and waiting. I love that I have so many people that look through my anxiety and bad days to love me regardless, blood or not. I hope they all know how much I truly love them in return
02/04 - I love my garden Just yesterday, I noticed 7 little sprouts from my habanero seeds. My starters have turned into a giant bush of baby tomatoes and baby Anaheim chilis. My little jalapenos I planted last year are somehow still hanging on outside and trying to produce fruit, despite it being much colder than the plant prefers. I love that my first year attempting to start from seeds has, thus far, been successful. I love that I'm getting amazing practice in for when we can finally own a home. I hope to build a greenhouse and expand my garden to feed us all kinds of fresh fruits and veggies. I love the practice of being in nature and working with Mother Earth to provide, it brings me back to my days working on our old family farm. Mom had a garden once I was in college and they moved - I love that I got the green thumb from her and we can bond more over our hard work. I love that my dad supports me because he wants me to be independent and this is a great way to feed myself. I love that my BF, though he's not the biggest fan of gardens, allows me to have a small one (and has actually helped by building me a raised bed! He's sweet) knowing I'm doing it to keep me happy and to supplement our food (it does help he loves spicy food and I'm growing tomatoes and all the peppers! Hot salsa and hot sauce from the garden, anyone?! Had to win him over somehow!) Last thing: I love that gardening gives me a purpose

Harley, sneaking up as I bounce between work and catching up on posts:
Habaneros, just peaking through:
Leggy tomatoes (because my grow light got delayed in shipping). Need to repot but its going to be a low of 17 this coming week and I'm not comfortable with that:
Anaheim Chili:
Not pictured:
Jalapenos. Planted in raised garden bed last year and I just noticed 2 flowers falling off and 2 baby peppers peaking out! Not sure how its survived but it is sure a resilient little plant. I hope it'll survive this coming week and grow more!
Spinach. Just bought yesterday and realized when I came home, its 3 plants in 1! Yippe!! I love spinach

Day/Weight/Comment
01/31 …..207.6 ….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
02/01 …..207.6 ….. No change.
02/02 …..207.6 ….. I don’t usually stay the same weight 3 days in a row. It must have been the banana bread snack because I burned many calories yesterday with more scrubbing.
02/03 …..208.8 ….. Epic fail. Bathroom #1 expansion and remodel begins today. It will be a long process as I am being squeezed in-between jobs taking their free time. In doing so, I am getting a discount which is important since I have 3 bathroom that need to be redone (not counting the rest of the house!) Eating will be grab and go and I already feel a loss of control. I will be working on figuring it all out.
02/04 …..xxxxx ….. Hit the floor running this morning as construction began on bathroom #1. I forgot to weigh. I do not suspect progress however.
02/05 …..208.6 ….. Whew! I was worried there for a minute!
02/06 …..xxxxx …..
02/07 …..xxxxx …..
02/08 …..xxxxx …..
02/09 …..xxxxx …..
02/10 …..xxxxx …..02/01 I am grateful for my ability to retire early at age 60. I am beginning to finally feel better rested and more in control of my life. Owning 2 motels and cabins left me working 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, with never a day off. The businesses were located on my home property so there was never any rest, peace or privacy. The number of employees – 1. Just me and the occasional handyman I would hire if the job was above my skill set. What will I do for the rest of my life? As a widow, travel is a bit scary. I am not sure yet. But hopefully I will have lots of time to figure it out.
02/02 I love my new house. It is old and smoky and needs lots of updating and work but I love the possibilities. Mostly I love that it allows me to have a separate apartment in the basement for my adult disabled son. I love we can work harder on independence for him.
02/03 I love the frontline workers who allow me to shelter safely in my home while they are out on the frontlines battling this virus. Thank you to each and everyone of them. I hope you feel the love and respect.
02/04 I love my children and grandchildren. Without them, life would be meaningless. Thank you to God for placing them in my life.
02/05 I love my 3 new squirrel friends. All black squirrels, so shiny and beautiful. One is a little piggy and doesn’t want the other 2 to eat so I will have to work on that. I call him Ziffel (after Arnold the pig from Green Acres). Squirrel #2 is really skinny because Ziffel doesn’t share very often. I call him Green Bean (after the skinny Hee Haw character). # 3 only comes around about 2 times a week. He is always frustrated by Ziffel and always gets the shortest end of the stick. I call him Darren Stevens (after the hubby in Bewitched). I guess the names I have chosen is showing my age! In any case, I love all 3 of them.6 -

Hi everyone! For who knows how many dozens of times I'm attempting to get online and post accountability daily.
This period I'm going to restart my intermittent fasting and keto routine. Minimum fast 24hrs with a goal of 48hrs by the tenth. Low carb high fat and an indoor run or hiit every other day.

I'm a wreck today. My brain is about 50% functional. My schedule has to change and I'm figuring things out. I've been fasting over 24hrs now and hunger is not helping me focus.
Reminder to self: Acknowledge your issues today are mundane ones and not real problems. It does not deminish their importance to remember that relative to the circumstances of others, you are doing okay.
02/04 167.6lbs
After 31.5 hrs of fasting I caved then restarted the clock. This morning I caved a second time with a mid morning meal. Restart number two began about noon. Forty-six hours to go.
It was a low cal day and I expect the same today given liquids only and mostly water allowed. Fat and protein are respectable but carbs are the spoiler. I messed up by going for easy instead of staying on plan.
Hopefully I'll make it through today and tomorrow to reach my 48hrs of fasting. Last night's left overs are frozen to avoid temptation. Fingers crossed!
02/05 165.8lbs
This week was for making plans and pulling life together having returned home after God knows how long away. So far I have accomplished very little. It's time to fix this.
Yesterday I decided to shut the fasting clock down and have a normal day. Fats & protein good, carbs lousy again with calories fine. More significant than the high carb day is that I ate too often. I had either three or four moderate meals instead of the one or two meals preferred for controing circulating insulin.
I haven't eaten yet today but I think I will make this a regular one or two feeding(s) day and begin fasting again tomorrow. Hopefully for a full 48 hours this time.
🙏🏽 Pulling my head together so I can get and keep myself on track. I'm on the edge of spiraling into my "lesser behaviors". I can't let that happen, oh the shame of it. Moreover, digging myself out is way too much work! 🙏🏽

Maintenance Range Goal: 200-205
Since my previous 10-day average was about four pounds higher than my last full challenge about 6 weeks ago, I just need to keep shaving off the holiday pounds till I get closer to 211. Then pick up where I left off.
I have a trip planned for May that will be a good inspirational milestone.

I did overcome some “de-railing thoughts” yesterday. Of course de-railing thoughts are what lead to de-railing actions. I have been reading about that in our group lately, and I totally relate! One of my favorite thoughts is “You have been good all day; you deserve a little reward snack.”

Chamber of Commerce event last night may have enhanced my salt and calorie intake yesterday. It was a “virtual” event preceded by a delivery of goodies to the participants at their office. Usually, this annual in-person event is an all you can eat buffet / open bar. Like so many things in the past year, this was something less. Good for me. Ha!

Day/Weight/Comment
02/01 -130.6. Got some good sleep yesterday, stayed within all my nutritional goals, took a long walk in beautiful weather outside. Let's see what we can do this round!
02/02 -129.6. Missed my 10:30 pm bedtime, but met my other goals yesterday! I'm back to where I was at the end of round 138. I'll try again for my bedtime goal tonight-- the difference in the morning is very noticeable!
Also, *loving* all the posts so far...I am so grateful for this group! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie 💕
02/03- 130.2. Missed my bedtime goal *again*! I also ate near maintenance calories, with a higher proportion of carbs than I usually aim for because of: oat milk!! I love drinking almond milk, and tried oat milk...not realizing one serving of unsweetened oat milk packs about **four times** the calories of my unsweetened almond milk (30 cals vs. 130 cals/cup)!!! Delicious, but learned my (rookie) lesson: read nutrition labels!
Honestly, though, still feel good and positive this morning. Let's go get them!
02/04- 128.4. No idea where this number came from! I felt good yesterday and was consistent. Walked and met nutritional goals. Failed at my bedtime goal. I am **seriously** going to try again!!
02/05- 128.4. I ate closer to maintenance calories yesterday, going over on my protein. Lifted some heavy (for me) weights. Still didn't go to sleep on time...womp, womp. I really can't believe it's the same number as yesterday. I feel like it's someone else's weight!

Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
Round 136 (11): 133.6 to 133.2 (-0.4 lbs)
Round 137 (12): 133.2 to 131.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Round 138 (13): 131.8 to 130.2 (-1.6 lbs)
Round 139 (14): 130.2 to 128.8 (-1.4 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Walk at least 1.75 miles with the dog each night
- Export my data from the various programs I’m using and combine into one spreadsheet for analysis
- Decide on my “reward” for hitting my goal weight!
2/1 - 128.6 - Hello to February and a new round! I did a great HIIT workout this morning, but I think it’s making me hungrier than usual. I’ve stuck to my meal prep though. It’s a gorgeous day here (so sorry to those getting buried with snow!) and I’ve already taken the kids out once. I hoping to get outside again this afternoon.
2/2 - 128.4 - My daughter declared yesterday afternoon that it was “Car Day” and we HAD to make a Car Day cake for her little brother (who is obsessed with cars and trucks.) This is exactly what I want my kids to see and experience - that all foods are available as long as we eat them in moderation. I’m not going to ruin her fun by declaring we can’t have cake in the house because Mommy is on a diet! So we made a yellow butter cake with vanilla buttercream, and she went crazy with the sprinkles and asked me to write “Happy Car Day” on it. We tried to get little brother to do some sprinkles but he just tried to grab handfuls of cake. Then the whole family had small pieces after dinner and it went back into the fridge - was I tempted to eat more of it? Absolutely, but I didn’t and I didn’t go over my calorie limit. I’m calling yesterday a win.
2/3 - 128.0 - Huh. I had a hungry day yesterday, so I let myself eat at maintenance - I figured it was better to eat more of my regular food than risk bingeing on cake because I was starving. I fully expected to be up a bit today just due to the extra food. Not complaining though! I’ve made some progress on my round goals: I’ve found a new loop to take on my evening walk with our dog - 2 miles total. I’ve also ordered my reward outfit! It’s a pink rose floral crop top and burgundy leggings from Athleta. I’m super excited about it and really hope they’ll fit. The leggings are back ordered and won’t arrive until March, which is fine because I won’t hit my goal weight for a few more weeks anyway.
2/4 - 129.4 - Hungrier than usual the past few days? Check. Bloating? Check. Cramping? Check. Weight spike? Check. It’s hormonal, expected and no big deal. Going to keep pushing forward and focus on sticking to my meal plan.
2/5 - 129.2 - Still bloated; weight still high. Did a fitness boxing workout and some Ring Fit this morning - helped a little but I’m still feeling blah. I’ll try and drink plenty of water today and remember to be gentle with myself.

Goal weight for this round: Seeing lower 115 or squeaking into 114 would be fantastic!
Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.
Previous days02/05 Did not weigh. I’m taking it very easy today due to some personal health stuff that has me just wanting to rest. I’ll be ok and it should get better in the next day or so. Food has been decent today and plan to eat at maintenance.
02/01 Did not post or weigh.
02/02 116.2 Lost the water weight which is good. I’m trying to treat my body nicely this week because my dad got admitted to the hospital on Sunday night due to Covid and it was a stressful Sunday night convincing him to go be seen (he’s still in there but he’s doing ok and is stable). It took me calling him like every 45 minutes to see how he was doing and telling him not to mess with dehydration due to gi symptoms. He’s a rather stubborn French Canadian.
My food has been good yesterday and today despite being tired and feeling out of it. I have to pick up our csa tomorrow night and I’m looking forward to the celeriac that is supposed to be in the box. I’ve never tried it and can’t wait to try a new veggie! Today’s breakfast was high protein & fiber molten chocolate cake made in the microwave and cottage cheese with defrosted blueberries and raspberries. I was so full from the cake that I was able to save the cottage cheese and fruit for a snack this afternoon. Dinner will be marinated jerk split chicken breasts, roasted butternut squash and purple potatoes. I’m also excited for a colorful dinner with the purple potatoes and the orange squash!
02/03 Did not post
02/04 117.2 So my dad is home from the hospital and sounds a lot better today. Thank you everyone for the kind words for my dad!
Yesterday’s food was pretty good over all. We ended up getting Thai for dinner but I got masaman curry with veggies and beef. The beef seemed pretty lean and their were more peppers and onions versus the starchier veggies that are know to be in that type of curry. I had some sticky rice on the side too. The good thing I did with the curry was that I scooped the veggies and protein into a bowl so I wound up having less of the caloric coconut milk.
Today has also been good food wise. I’m happy about that because I wasn’t able to get a spin bike ride in and just did some yoga this morning. I decided that for the Winter/Early Spring I’m going to focus on maintaining because I just feel like I need to/it’ll be better for my psyche. Then as the weather starts to warm up and the produce in our CSA is less starchy, it’ll be easier to make more filling meals that are less dense calorically. Have a good night, I’m off to go watch ER with my husband!

02/01 Did not post. Did yoga in the morning and an active recovery 30 minute spin bike workout. My hamstring has been bothering me so I didn’t want to push it like I usually do.
02/02 I am grateful for my health and am able to show my body some love by exercising and eating relatively healthy for it. Did yoga this morning and plan to do a 30 minute spin bike workout.
02/03
02/04 I love my coworkers! I did a 75 minute yoga session that was very relaxing and not as intense as 75 minutes sounds.
02/05 I love my husband and am so grateful he is who he is. I was able to do some yoga this morning and it helped my current issue a touch. I might repeat the same video tomorrow morning because it really got into the hips and was good for the pelvic floor muscles too. People, take care of those pelvic floor muscles. You’ll never know how much you appreciate them until you have issues with them.

02/02 - 146.5
02/03 - 147 - I've really been eating well this past week, so I'm a little frustrated with my weight. Higher stress levels have kept me from losing in the past, so I'm going to attribute this stuck weight to that and keep plugging along.
02/04 - 146 - Tomorrow morning is my husband's surgery to see if the bladder cancer has spread any further than what was originally found. All hugs, thoughts, and prayers are appreciated!
02/05 - 145.5 - The surgery went as well as we could have hoped. The biopsy results should be in next week, but the Doctor has a very positive outlook. Thank you to everyone here for the support!

Love for myself: Eat well under Goal, and get my exercise in.
Love for others: Following Covid guidelines to drive down transmission rates[/Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
February focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:
2021 Focus:- Maintain weight < 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2021
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

LOL! well that is a change, not the one I was looking for but then again I ate all the way to 2000 Calories *eye pop* yesterday and I know that is waaaaheeey too much for me - I just didn't want to stop eating carbs and am paying the price.
Back to a "normal" range today, I've had my fun.

How happy I am to be back to the number I was complaining about day before yesterday
Sometimes I think my journey is only 30% change and 70% becoming grateful for the blessings I have in my life, like finding I have time to dedicate to myself, accessing good food, rediscovering the soundness of my physical self, and growing to accept the encouragement of friends.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 140 (round 72 for me ) I'm in for another round as I need this to help me keep on track! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back closer to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life ! Long term goal is to get and then stay under 130; then full maintanace starts and dare I say it is in my sights?
Challenge for this round – get into and stay in 120's? I've not been that low since before 2018! Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference! Run 4 x during the 10 days.
Keep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind, continue to follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus. Be positive for the vaccine – its here and inoculation has started! Take it when offered.End of round 69 134.2 lbs

Love for myself – be more positive; half glass full not half glass empty & 4 x runs of 20 mins + per round; I love the feeling of exhilaration afterwards!!

02/06 - had a lovely 'phone call with DD (lives 58 miles away), missing her & rest of the family especially little grandchildren who are growing so quickly so much, love them all.

@SheilaBoneham - my husband is always amazed how with just a pair of knitting needles I can turn a ball of wool into a garment, to him it seems like a miracle each time!!
Yes the column formatting annoys me too; quite often I've tried editing my post to correct it, but it makes no difference!!2 -
Good morning! The weekend at last!! My sleep patterns are still a bit off. I woke up in a start this morning thinking I'd heard the doorbell... but checking the clock I saw it was 5 am, and looking outside everything was as quiet and calm as you might expect it to be at that hour. A doorbell, what a strange thing to dream about!
