Had a great camping weekend. We even had the grand kids overnight on Saturday for their first sleepover in the camper. Now, working on cleaning everything up and putting it all away before the weekend. We leave Thursday night for a bed and breakfast. We are attending AirVenture Oshkosh on Friday and Saturday. We'll be bringing our masks just in case, especially for inside the buildings!0
-
Tuesday: Out the door early. Have an audiology appt. to get the hearing aides tuned up.
Looks like it’s supposed to ge a hot one again, then we cool down a little … . into the 80’s.
Here’s to a terrific Tuesday.
HUGS
Michelle: Glad that you had a good camping trip!
Enjoy Oskosh and good idea to bring masks.0 -
Went shopping this afternoon for capris. Found a couple pair at some local boutiques in town. But, now they are saying that weather is favorable for a derecho tonight. So, Tim and I will be preparing the yard this evening for high winds. Hopefully, we don't get it. But, better safe than sorry.0
-
Wednesday: Oh my . . . the week is again flying by!
Had a good audiology check up. The hearing aides are all tuned up.
Warm again. Had rain overnight. Supposed to have more today. Hope it breaks the humidity.
HUGS and happy Wednesday.
Michelle: Glad you found capris!
Yes, we're expecting potent storms tonight, too. As ready as we can be.0 -
Not much rain here, only 1/4 inch. But, we had quite the light show last night!
Had a migraine around 2 this morning from the weather, so I am not moving very fast today. Glad most of our packing is done. Just shampoos and such. We packed the clothes last night.0 -
Thursday: Wow! Quite the storms last night! Not much sleep. Ah well. We certainly were lucky that we didn’t have the tornadoes that hit near-by counties. I definitely see a nap in the future today.
I was very surprised how well Miss Lilly did w/the storm! She just hunkered down by me and snoozed. A few claps of thunder startled her, but she settled down right away. Of course she had her favorite toy with her, too.
It’s Friday EVE – let’s make it the best one yet.
HUGS
MIchelle: Hope you feel better and glad you're safe.0 -
Friday: Better night sleep!
Have to run to the store for freggies. Otherwise, Jason will do his therapy and it’ll be a quiet day.
Enjoy Friday!

Saturday: Breakfast @ the diner. HOPE it can continue. Our county is doing all right, but . . . have to be careful. We go very early, so crowds are never a problem.
Nice day yesterday! 70F and no humidity.
Here’s to a good Saturday.
HUGS
Please welcome my co-leader, Sally !0 -
Sunday: Supposed to be a little warmer. That’s all right. Still pleasant.
Doing the back yard today. Perfect weather for that.
HUGS and blessings.

We arrived home from the EAA Airventure yesterday morning. But, truth be told, I did not enjoy myself. Tim had a cold last week, and I caught it. Wasn't it nice of him to share? It started with a pins and needles scratchy throat Thursday night, and just no energy for all of that walking. I pushed through, but Tim said I was just slow...... Saturday was a bit better because we planned on watching the air shows. We had chairs set up on the runway, so I could go sit when I needed to. I slept most of the day yesterday. Surpisingly, I lost 2.5 pounds last week after eating at concession stands over the weekend. Must of been from pushing my body to do all that walking.....LOL
Still low on energy, but I'm not sleepy. So I consider that progress

Monday: Hope to do edging today. Have calls to make to get our blind in the bedroom fixed. Fingers crossed.
Hugs and happy Monday, happy August.
Michelle: Sorry you go a cold. *SIGH* But congrats on the weight released. Awesome.0 -
My energy seemed a bit better yesterday. Still a little low, but didn't feel the need to sleep the day away. I made Greek turkey burgers for dinner last night. They were pretty good. Tim is not a fan of turkey burgers, but he humors me for my sake. I don't make them often, just when I recipe peaks my interest. Tonight is pesto grilled cheese with a side of glazed roasted carrots.
Back to job hunting today too. I found out on Friday that that job I was waiting on didn't pan out.0 -
Hey. .. where'd my first chat go??..
Grrrrrr😡 hate being a beginner ....lol0 -
Opened up the house and tried to sit outside with my sketchbook but the flies kept insisting on using me for lunch .. they were insistant on biting ..
Rain must be coming in (looked at the weather and yup ) so turned the ac back on ... Seems every time I try and open the house... the breeze stops 😒0 -
There .. this time it posted ...🥳0

Tuesday: After spending a bit of time on the phone, we got someone who will come out later today to fix the vertical shade! Wahoo.
Edged the lawn. Lots of work, but good exercise.
Jason has aqua therapy this morning. Hurray!
HUGS and terrific Tuesday.
Michelle: Sorry you caught a cold, but so glad that you are feeling better!
Sally: Yeah! It posted! Yes, learning curves stink sometimes.
We got a rain storm around 5 pm! Poured for awhile, but then stopped. At least it was a little rain.

The problem with the job hunt for me is that most of my life I've done manufacturing jobs. With my migraines, I don't feel that the noisy atmosphere is a good fit anymore regardless of my experience. I applied for two jobs yesterday. I received a call back within 30 minutes of applying, so I have a job interview this morning at 10:30. It's at at the store of a cheese factory running the cashier, etc.
Made my pesto grilled cheese last night. So not healthy! I only ate half a sandwich....... It was really yummy! Won't be making it again though. Tonight is Maple Mustard glazed chicken roasted with potatoes and carrots.0 -
Michelle: **SIGH** You’re right . . . a loud environment doesn’t seem it would be he bes for migraines. Good luck w/your job interview . .. hope it went well!
Your sandwich sounds yummy! Once in a while!

Thursday: Wow! I keep saying it, but the weeks are flying by!
Nice day yesterday. Hazy, though, and air quality not good. So not too much time outdoors. That’s all right. HOPE today is better air quality.
Made a freggie run yesterday. All set now.
Have a thankful Thursday, or Friday EVE!

Hubby is pretty sick now, all congested and all that. We just can't get a break.
I have a phone interview with a staffing agency at noon today. I'm not feeling very positive, but time will tell....
I'm just in a funk. Think I'll do some crafting today to try and pull myself out of it. It's supposed to rain the next four days, so I can't even go for my walks

Saturday: Breakfast @ the diner. Waiting to hear what our friends have to say about the Covid #’s. They’re on the front line.
Had rain last night and that was welcomed! Supposed to be warm this weekend. We’ll see if the forecast is right.
HUGS and have a good Saturday.
Michelle: So sorry DH is sick. *SIGH**
Good luck w/your staffing agency interview. HOPE it goes well
Hope the crafting helps lift the mood.

Sunday: Stormed most of the night. Miss Lilly was like Velcro. AS long as I held her, she wasn’t afraid. Lots of thunder. Right now we’re under a flash flood warning. But we are ok in our area. Other areas in the county are closer to the river and that’s where the flooding seems to be happening.
Indoor day. Probably work more on decluttering papers from the office.
HUGS and blessings to y’all

When Spark gave us their notice of shutting down, I joined WW. As of today, I've lost 21 pounds! I guess we all needed that push or change to try something different. 20 pounds was my first mini goal, and I have met that. My gift to myself will be a new pair of walking shoes
Tim is still a little congested but it is breaking up. He is feeling much better, and cleaned the garage yesterday. After dinner, we even took a 4 mile walk.
Today, I am driving down to Middleton to go to Costco so I can order my contacts. I'll visit my daughter for a bit afterwards. I'm taking her a Brother sewing machine with me that we bought her. I had given her an old Vogue Stitch of my grandmother's a couple of years ago, but it really isn't user friendly and she is really struggling. New basic sewing machines are really inexpensive, so we picked one up. And I've had really good luck with the Brother machines.
Looks like another chance for rain today. Stay dry!0 -
🤪🤯😲🥴
Aaaaahhhhhhh it ate my thinking post again!!!!!😱😫😡👿👿👿👿0 -
😈😈😈😈😈MWAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA😈😈😈😈😈😈
(lets see if I can remember my thinking🙄)
I am doing good with logging my food and what little exercise I do do... Im ready for the next step ...
My biggest problem is living with a pusher.. and I love hubby with all my heart, but it starts "discussions" because he suggests something, and I say no and thr next thing out of his mouth is "Im just trying to be nice" 🙄 making me feel like the heel for wanting to eat better ...
Sooooooooooooooo
Wednesdays ... I usually have to myself ...hubby has Wii bowling in the morning and the afternoon consists of golfing... so I am on my own ...why cant I make Wednesdays my days of what Im supposed to do ... so my challenges are ...
Make sure that whatever I make on Wednesday is within "plan",....
Secondly....
There are days that we eat a late lunch and "graze" for dinner ... eating nothing except whatever is in the pantry, fridge, or freezer...whatever comes to mind ...IF I can keep MY foods up to par, there should be no reason why I cant "adjust" during those times...
Instead of waitng for help .... Ive gone back to my mindset of take care of myself ...I KNOW which direction I want to go, and I think hubby is figuring it out too, because he sees me bringing in LC products and things that were "legal" on that plan ... I had mega success on it, but expect it to slower because I wont be on it 100% like before ...
See .. this is why I screamed when I lost my last post about this ....
😈😈😈so thinking and planning here😈😈😈0 -
Spending the day creating recipes and pretracking them for my camping trip. Then, it's just packing a few last minute items. Glad this trip is only 30 minutes away 0

Im sooo confused .. it keeps eating my posts ...
Good morning to my friends ..
My zoo travels are in my blog .. I am SOOO proud of myself I can't even say !!! however, I have a new challenge .. get rid of the mindset of "oh ..you had a good exercise, busy day, you can ALLOW more munching .." sydrome !!! Okay .. it never stops .. but I AM PROUD OF MYSELF !!!!!
I did stay within my calorie count in MFP without the added "exercise" bonus with the munchies .. I logged everything ... so it's just a number .. could be I was retaining fluid, could be because it was at least an hour earlier than my normal weigh ins .. could be could be could be .. it never stops ..:)
I was a little bummed by my number going up, but looked in the mirror .. while it's faint, I AM seeing a waist, my favorite 3some of shorts that I've been enjoying since the beginning of summer; are getting looser and looser .. and well ... harder and harder to keep up .. lol .. so I'm "seeing" effects, and I'm sure if I continue and work hard on whatever the doctors tell me .. I will see the changes .. I will I will I WILL !!! *STOMPING FOOT* ... OUCH !!!! wrong foot ..
I finished Pie last night, and thinking of adding a blurred background; to help the whiteness pop a bit more with the white paper .. I'm happy with her though .. and I get to stop over and see the menagerie again !!!
So -- today is going to be (so far) quiet day, and corn on the cob for lunch .. Hubby made mention he was going to put the push mower together, and try and finish the grass .. the rider pooped the other day ..
Wishing everyone a wonderful day !! I'm going to !!!! I'm in a happy place right now, and happy to just "be here" ..0 -
Sorry MIA this week. Promise, read your posts. Will be back @ it tomorrow. Getting my lip stitches out tomorrow, so that will be much better! HUGS and take care!0
