OMGosh Tracey......... honey, I am so sorry. Seriously, if she's making you "sick", then you really, really need to leave there. I hear you, that you love your job (except her). And that's sad and terribly hard to leave something you love because of a supervisor. If she's making the environment toxic, it's not okay.
Tuesday, workday in MN for Carla! See ya tomorrow!3 -

I slept on the crappy bed here for two nights this weekend trying to avoid Rodger. My back and shoulders didn’t hurt as much on that as it is on our bed. I believe we need a new mattress.
Worked on my stockings again tonight.

Tracey- what about something like Zumba class- really fun and keeps you moving- Our classes are just two nights a week, for an hour. Gets me out of the house. Doing something for me, for a change. I have met some really good friends there. We now walk on days we don't have class or if our class is canceled , like tomorrow might, Martha and I will still get together and walk for at least an hour.
I would love to try the aqua-zumba class but won't go to the area the gym is at.
If it isn't Zumba, find something that is just a little out of your comfort area- this was TOTALLY out of mine!!!(last time I danced in a class was WAY back in 8th grade- told the teacher the first day I was old, uncoordinated and had no rhythm but I will try and keep up- Some days, I do pretty good at it but other days, I struggle but I keep going.
Terrible sleep here last night too- DH was home for a few hours-slept without his CPAP(it is at his mother's) so he snored and snored. He got up at 12:30 and left for work at 1. After that, I couldn't get to sleep- finally at almost 3AM- then the alarm went off at 8:45.
I am going to see if he can get a second machine so he will have one at both houses.Not like him being home every night is going to happen any time soon, if ever(at least not while she is alive)
Going to walk to the park with my daycare girl- get my steps in. No class tonight. Will walk by myself tonight if I don't have my 10K steps in.
I will walk the dog the next two days so will be able to get most of my steps in that way.
Time to finish my tea- think I will be making coffee when we get back(not before- no bathrooms over there)

Friend had that on Facebook today.
I saw that again yesterday too- I shared it again.2 -
Margaret - love the definition.
Tracy - hope something works out soon. It would be good if she retired.
Cool, cloudy day here today. Horses and goats are out doing their thing. The property is horribly over grown but I am not allowed to walk on uneven ground with my ankle so that really limits what I can do. I can only reach so much from the sidewalk or the edge of the driveway. The blueberries are ripe and DD has been picking. We have been freezing part of them and eating some fresh. Thinking about making some muffins.
Things I do for fun: horseback riding, reading, swimming, jigsaw puzzles, singing, symphony, plays,water exercise, travel when I can.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA

I was able to sign up for a writing workshop at my new library which is only a mile away. Yay! I hope to meet some people who might be interested in forming a writing critique or practice group. I'm very excited about it, I have been waiting for this for a long time. The grand opening of the library was a few weeks ago.
What do I do for fun? Read, go out to eat, exercise a bit. I used to do a lot of knitting but now I have plenty of sweaters I don't wear, and nobody else likes them. And then I'm very slowly
writing a novel. There's no telling if that will ever get done, or what I will do with it in the end.

KJ - Are you OK?
Love Heather UK xxxxxx1 -
Yes, KJ - where are you? Hope all is going well in Michigan!
What I do for fun - gardening and yardwork early in the mornings before the sun gets blazing. Still going thru closets, cupboards. That will be a big winter project. Found DH's suits still in cleaner bags from 1997 when he had the big city job in a closet in the garage. And lots of raincoats, jackets. Will donate them this fall when the thrift store starts asking for them. Right now they are loaded with summer clothes.
Other fun:
Put it in a spoiler for ya. It's long!Chainsaw Charlie stopped by Sunday evening and I now have the remains of 4 little evergreens to clean up. I'll sort through the branches and cut up the larger ones for firewood, and I hope my walking partner's DH will volunteer to bring his chipper/shredder over. If he doesn't no biggie. I'll drag them back beneath the trees under the power line. Good exercise!RIP Olivia Newton John. She was one of my favorites.
Charlie also took the dead battery out of the truck, I stopped by the auto supply this morning and got a new one. One of these days he'll install it and take it out for a run, make sure it's doing OK. Already have someone interested in buying it. It's huge and I'd never drive it, so I'm good with it going to a new home.
I was digging around in DH's collection to see what was under tarps by the back fence - 2 little spreaders, in pretty good shape. I think I can hitch one behind the Toro mower and spread a little lime and/or grass seed this fall or next spring.
I discovered a leak in the Tuff Shed roof where DH stored a lot of his landscaping tools and what not. Might have to hire professionals $$ to fix it but otherwise it's in really good shape so will be worth it.
Have decided to keep DH's little tractor and the neighbor will show me how to run it. I used to drive the farm tractor many years ago, it didn't have many bells and whistles. Maybe the Kubota doesn't either but I'm hesitant to just hop on and experiment, lol.
My DB in Indiana has C-19. Tested positive yesterday. He reported today that he's just tired and napping, some coughing. May get an anti-viral.
And finally, the driveway guy is supposed to show up later this afternoon with his equipment to smooth out the existing gravel, then tomorrow will haul in a couple loads of rock. We are supposed to get a little rain tonight and tomorrow, he said that would be perfect to get the dust settled. Will be glad to have that done, spruce the place up a little like DH used to keep it before he got ill.
OK ladies, that's the latest. Sorry for the book! Have a great rest of your week!

Welcome Lynda, We're glad you are here. Most of us communicate with each other on this thread so don't take it personally if no one sends you a friend request. I have been coming to this thread for a long time and read it every morning with my breakfast to keep me centered on my intention to live a healthy life. Building new habits via baby steps helped me. I've read books about habits and healthy eating and learned a lot. I walk early in the morning so I'm sure to have a healthy start to my day.Allie, You are so right to keep loving your grandchild no matter what the response. Come from a place of love and be kind, no exceptions. It is cooler here today so I was able to go for a decent walk after supper. Barbie in NW WA 4 -
What do I do for fun? Walk, alone, with a friend, or with a dog. Spend time with my husband. Knit. Ride my exercise bike while watching TV. Work in my yard. Read. Listen to audio books and podcasts. Interact daily with all of you. And, yes, I love databases and excel spreadsheets. Barbie in NW WA 5

Stat for the day
Walk w/family- 1hr 56min 38sec, 4.54mi= 489c
Strava app= 518c2 -
My fun activities:
Crafting - painting, ceramics, card making, stockings, whatever piques my interest
My family - whatever they are up to and invite me to join them in
I need to get back to my walking. My hip still bothers me though and I can’t seem to get it built back up.
Margaret - “kuchisabishii definition: When you are not hungrey,but you eat because your mouth is lonely.” This is my problem!
Carla - she keeps talking about retiring and how tired she is. I wish she would just do it!
Debbie - I did do Zumba once before. That’s a good idea, I’m also thinking of swimming lessons again.
Sue - I hope your ankle heals soon. It’s not nice being restricted.
Allie - I hope Carmine gets some help soon. They must be going through something really tough.
Welcome to the new ladies.
I have my MIL’s stocking all done except the sequins on the outside edge. I’m trying to decide between red or silver.
I have 4 others almost ready to see the back on.
