@Dianedoessmiles1 - you know what I am gonna say about people and line ups at the grocery store - its a great opportunity to "talk" to them and "encourage" them, right. Glad you got a chance to get out and get some socializing in too. I always keep Thank you cards in my purse incase there's that special occassion that a server is either being given a rough time by the customer before me, OR they went out of their way for no reason to assiste me. Let's face it, its tough being in the service industry these days when so many folks are so in your face sometimes about things out of your or their control. Yes that was the author - I finally found her by looking at the books I bought on my kobo when I had one. Her books were very good but did have some ... questionable areas being it was Ireland in the 16th centry..
@marg750me I am sure all of us are busy from time to time, but I sure hope it was a good day after all.
@wallahalla I dont' do holidays, but I did have to chuckle at that one ... hmmm.. lol
@cormierannie I am sure you will enjoy those paint classes - my daughter learnt to do the auroras by taking online paint classes and she has sold quite a few paintings and fridge magnets too. She also does other scenes but mostly the auroras.
Now I need to go report my fitness minutes and call it a night. Cheers !1 -
@Marg750me ,,,, LOVE days that FLY by when busy as long as I get some giggles in!! Hope you have a lovely Monday!
@Lindiemaep ,,, Usually I am with a friend who is quite an introvert, unless someone strikes her fancy, than LOLOL the 2 of us,, well whoever we talk to often ends up either laughing very hard, smiling very hard, or walks away wondering "WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!??" We are both enjoying the customer service thing. We are the ones who walk away laughing. Hey stores are short handed, and we tend to go to the same ones. Indeed when someone goes out of their way they SHOULD be commended. We were at Walmart the other day, I needed help in a department and COULD NOT FIND someone. FINALLY after minutes I grabbed one worker (not literally LOL BUT ALMOST) He SAID he'd have someone respond, he did not, neither did the next guy, but the 3rd ONE AND He also FOLLOW THROUGH! He was an older guy. He did so well!! If I am alone yes indeed you know I'll talk to someone around me, unless its a "fainty" day and today was such. OH MAN I wanna feel better. Thankfully today my friend stood near by and that we live so close to the store. I KNEW she knew I was struggling. It was kind of her. She also walked me up to the building, before I came in here, and she went to the building next door. Indeed good friends are priceless. COOL that you found the author,, it can be hard to find books. Like you I hate some things, a lot of things put into books. But yeah that time period was so very different from where we live now. TY TY TY for turning in your time, I am headed over to the PS4L team to do the numbers that have reported tonight than I am headed to bed.
@EVERYONE hope you ALL got in a GREAT Nights sleep and that Monday is sweet and kind to you and all you love.

Happy Monday everyone! Last night we found out my older daughter made it into an honors band. It’s like a one week commitment in January-just have to find out when she gets the music. And nutcracker craziness starts tomorrow! Older daughter also got her booster shot yesterday (she requested) and went to her music teacher’s concert.
@LindieMaeP -Aw your books sound great! I go love historical fiction, also just Amish fiction, thrillers, some non fiction. 95 percent of my reading is from the library. I do utilize free little libraries and yard sales-so my bookshelf is overflowing. I read those when traveling or waiting for library books. Anything I own I pass onto a friend or a free little library when I am done with it.
@Dianedoessmiles1 -hope all is well!2 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 -yup free exercise! At band camp, there were moms surprised
I could carry a case of water 30 ft. I easily did it-and was saddened they couldn’t. The thriller book told backwards? It’s all the missing girls by Megan Miranda. I’m 45 pages from the end now-it got interesting last night!1 -
Hi everyone - been busy between football (now over) and Christmas prep. I got up early yesterday morning thinking I'd mix up my shortbread but realized i didn't have enough icing sugar - hadn't even thought to check before hubby went shopping on Friday. I did watch my church service and then mixed up the gingerbread cookie dough instead before settling in to watch Grey Cup coverage followed by the game. Today hubby and I went out to shop for stocking stuffers for our kids and also a couple of gifts for our GS. I had some things I wanted to do downtown which I was going to do on Wednesday after we sang but I decided after hubby and I got back, that I would do them today. We have everything we need for our GS now plus small gifts for our son, his GF and our SIL. Not sure yet about our daughter - might have her covered. Hubby has a colonoscopy scheduled for early tomorrow morning and I'll have to get up to take him to the hospital and then pick him up later. I figured that in between I'd get some baking done. I felt like I was going to be pressed for time as we're going to our daughter's on the 22nd but I'm feeling more confident that I'll get things done without having to scramble too much at the last minute.
As for the game last night - it was very good but unfortunately my Ticats did not manage to pull off the upset and win even though they game was played on their home field but they didn't make it easy for their opponent. They came within a play or two of winning but it was not to be. Very heartbreaking for the team, organization and all the fans who were there to support them.
Have a good evening everyone!1 -
@BookienJ,,,, CONGRATS on older D and honors band!! Music, is the BEST!! That's so cool by your example you showed them, being in shape is something anyone of any age can do.
This cracks me up so MUCH!! But, yeah. TRUE!!
OH AWESOME the book picked up towards the end!! Love those surprises!
@Retired_Sue ,,, Sounds like yesterday was extremely busy, but productive!! SO SORRY about the Ticats!! Sounds like they're a very excellent team. LOVE a close game, though a win is fun, it's also just really nice to see 2 teams that want the win give it there all. Nice!!

Good Evening Everyone!
For those wondering where I live I am in Southeastern Ontario across from Detroit.
Yesterday was a busy day. Made and decorated gingerbread cookies with family and celebrated my Mom and Son's birthdays. Today took Mom for her eye appointment. That was supposed to be an easy simple visit. Well plans went out window. Mom fell getting into her wheelchair and ended up on the floor. We had an ambulance called as she is a large women and I can't lift her. Our area is in code black for paramedics. Which means there just isn't enough to cover the calls as they can't work if not vaccinated. So we were informed that it was going to be an hour wait. Next they called and said another hour. As Mom was getting cold and more sore. She asked for me to call my brother and see where he was working. Let's just say it took my brother 40 minutes to arrange help to come with him and get there. We got her up and the ambulance still was not on the way even with us as the next call so we cancelled it. She is sore in many places but ok.3 -
@CSEGUIN2 I hope your mom is going to be ok, there seems to be a shortage of Emergency Response folks all over Canada, we have that issue in BC too. Glad your brother was able to arrange assistance since the ambulance could not come for a while. Now it is interesting that you live across from DETROIT as I was born in that area across from Detroit and grew up in Southern Ontario in Harrow - thinking you know that lil town. I lived in Windsor when my kids were little, in the projects, well city housing and that housing was pretty good compared to what some folks are living in today. Anyway, I hope the rest of your day went well.2
-
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Thanks - very tough as I mentioned for the players but it was a good close game.
@CSEGUIN2 - Hubby's parents both grew up in Windsor and his aunt and uncle (his father's younger sister) still live there. Haven't been there in years. That's terrible that it takes so long to get an ambulance. Glad that your brother could help and I hope that you mom will soon feel better.1 -
@Cseguin2,,, UGH SO SORRY!! Hope your Mom will be okay. Probably more sore in 2 days, but phew doesn't sound any broken any bones which is good. Scary when someone falls!! So sorry you had to go through that. Knowing the heavier I was, and if I fell they'd have to call for the guys to come and get me up, or if I went into the hospital I KNEW that discussion of "She's really nice, but I can't move her at all, she's to heavy." conversation would happen. These among other reasons is why I am down 100 lbs. Scary that those who pick up Covid patients do want the shot, it's a choice of course, but that's freaky scary.
@Cseguin2, @Lindiemaep, @Retired_Sue,,, LOL It's a SMALL WORDL GIRLS!! Its a SMALL WORLD. How funny the 3 of you come or have been in the same area. COOL!

Apologies for being MIA. Oh my...I have lots of reading to do. Going to catch up now
I had a vertigo attack and landed in the hospital. My vertigo also appears when the weather is too hot. Was walking with my family...on the way for lunch and had to climb some stairs to get to the 2nd floor where we were meeting our relatives for lunch. Well, vertigo came, head spinning, tried to grab the stairs handrail but missed...fell backwards and tumble down the steps. Even with that horrible bump on my head, my vertigo still stayed and I was spinning for days. Even my physical therapist couldn't fix it this time. It was so bad that it caused nausea and vomiting for 3 days. I am back now, my vertigo comes now and then but that's how my life is. For my weight, I think I am back to square 1...sigh! Oh well, up onto the wagon I go and try try again.4 -
@CSEGUIN2 - Glad to hear that you Mom is A-OK. Sorry to hear that the ambulance came so late. That's also the reason why I am trying to lose weight badly. I have so many health problems (thyroid & vertigo and hopefully nothing else please!) and I want to be as light as possible so that my hubby or my kids can carry me if need be.
@Cseguin2, @Lindiemaep & @Retired_Sue - Wow...what a small world 1 -

Good morning everyone! Leaving in just a few minutes to help move things from the dance studio to the theater. I am nervous but it will be fine. Getting there early really just so I know I am not late. More soon…3

@wallahalla MANY EONS Of moons ago my brothers sang this to my Grandmother, a large bunch of us where together. SO FUNNY watching my Grandmothers face!! We laughed so much harder at her reactions though the song is very funny. Memories!! Grammy has been gone since 1983 or something like that.
@Jadepearl,,, People have No clue really how horrendous vertigo is!! I saw your blog and wrote what helped me. I was also seeing a chiro, but at that time the only thing that helped at all and then not totally was a med. I've forgotten the name of it. PHEW that I've not needed it! I'm SO SORRY you feel but happy to read you didn't break any bones etc!! WOW You are fortunate while at the same time going through a torture!! A contrast for sure.
@Bookienj,, Sure hope things go well!! WOOHOO on the exercise though. We look forward to seeing how it went.1 -
Good morning everyone, hope you are having a good day, its cool or cold here depending on your view of the weather - and I am enjoying not having to have a fan on.
@jadepearl your at the right place to help you from step 1 - I am sorry you wound up in the hospital and had fallen down those stairs. I often fear doing that but I remember a phsyiotherapist state, if you think you are going to fall, you will fall, so I try not to "think I am going to fall" .. I've fallen down stairs because of my runners slidding and boy it took a year to heal the knee from that, it was quite tramatic and it was only one flight ! A small one - I do hope you will be better and the vertigo gone. Many of us fall off that wagon and have the scrapped knees to prove it so to speak, so climb on up and join us for a great ride !
@bookieNJ I am sure everything will be fine, I so know how you feel about 'being on time' I hate hate hate being late, even 50 years later I can not not be late. Often I am the first to show up for meetings and wait for others to show up - same at work - never ever ever could I handle being late unless it was something out of my control. I always arrived for work an hour early, but I would sit and enjoy my breakfast and no one could say anything because I was not on the clock. Do let us know how everything went !
@wallahalla dats so funny - I remember that song - GOOD thing I go by NANA !! there ain't no NANA got run over by a reindeer or Johndeer bwahahahahaha...
Have a good morning everyone !2 -

Very tired today after being up early to get hubby to the hospital to have his colonoscopy. He's feeling better but not 100% yet. I came home and watched a Hallmark movie - can't do that when he's here. Not long after it was over he was ready to come home. Later in the morning I baked up the gingerbread dough that I mixed the other day which took a while. After I had some lunch I mixed up my shortbread. In between one of my choir members came by the drop off the hand drum that she was playing for one of our songs and we chatted for a few minutes. I had started the shortbread and finished it after she left. Of course there was cleaning up the kitchen to be done as well but that was all I felt like doing today. I was going to get the stocking stuff that we purchased yesterday organized but ran out of energy. I might be able to do that tomorrow before I go out to sing. I really don't plan to do much tonight. Have a good evening everyone!3

Stopping by to say Hi to everyone. Working and trying to get ready for Christmas is sure taking my time these days. Finally got all the baking items purchased today except a few things I need to wait until the week of Christmas to have them fresh. Have to work 5 hrs. on Christmas eve when our family will get together , but, my DD and DIL are pitching in to do the most of it. They sent a message today telling me and giving me the menu and it is great!

Rain and cold here. I don't mind since I did not have to go out and we need the rain. I hope the mountains are getting lots of snow.
Three more work days and then I'm off until Jan. 6th. It's going to be busy because of course everyone is trying to get everything that they put off done at the last minute.
All my Christmas shopping is done, just waiting for a few items to be delivered. Will start the wrapping this weekend.
Each year I make ornaments to give to my family. This is what they got this year.

Good Evening Everyone!
Need to make this quick as it is extremely late and still have plenty to do. So it is so awesome to have friends that know my area. My mom grew up in Harrow and my Dad just outside of Essex. I was born in Leamington and lived one year in Harrow while my parents built our house just outside of Essex. I also lived in Cottam, Amherstburg and am now in Windsor and have been here for about 15 years or more.
Anyways today was rest, weigh and TOPS Day. Also had our TOPS Christmas party tonight. Down 5.5 lbs 😄! Mom made it to the party. She has some bruising, pain and stiffness but otherwise is doing good.3 -
BUSY BUSY DAY!!2

HI All! Extremely busy ,, super busy week as was last week and next week. Not with the holidays. Most of you know I'll be having cataract surgery on Jan 3rd and the 10th. The first one no biggie on driving I can drive with one eye okay, but after that I'll need to wait a few weeks before getting a new prescription for glasses. WOOHOO should be a much easier one!! YEAH YEAH YEAH!! So my friend and I are getting in all Dr appointments we can so that in Jan we are as free of them as we can be. We'll see how that goes!! So that's been taking up my time she's had 3 this week and I have 2 this week, next week she has 2 and I have 3. LOL it's crazy.
FUN FUN reading your posts!! WTG YOU ALL!!
Have you all picked your team? If not, NOW IS THE TIME there are quite a few who haven't yet.
GOOOOOOOOO ALL TEAMS!! LOVE how much we all help one another. We DO have new SPARK members here with us for the Winter Challenge. WELCOME ALL! ITs going to be an AMAZING WINTER CHALLENGE!! ❄❄☃☃🎈🥽🧣🧦👢🎣⛸2 -

happy wednesday everyone! it is a beautiful day here today. it has been raining on and off lightly. i got a few errands done a while ago. i got in a walk this morning and i feel great! my daughter says hello to everyone. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! i will be doing some dancing later on after supper. have a great day, everyone!1
-
@Dianedoessmiles1 and @LindieMaeP -I got there 15minutes early-which is good because I started 10 minutes early-but it was less than an hour of work which was disappointing because I needed 2.5 hours of “volunteer” hours for the ballet company. Luckily more to do tomorrow. I got to load all the cases of water and snacks into my car and drive it 1/2 mile. No snacking here. I misplaced my purse when I hid it in my car so unfortunately a log of people saw me totally get really scared/upset. Next time I will keep it attached to me like I originally started with.1
-
@Dianedoessmiles1 -Aw I hope you are able to get all your appointments in. I have to reschedule my gyn appointment because it just happens to be the same day I have to take hubby’s car in-0
