Good morning everyone, I know you all are excited to board your plane for the next 5% challenge ! I know I know I am/was / is lol it will be exciting to get the plane in the air when the time is right.
@Tabatha_Cain sure happy to hear your first day at work went well and that you are comfortable with the new position! May it continue to be something you look forward to doing each work day.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I am safely aboard the TW plane and checking out the seating arangements in hopes of a window seat so I can take lots and lots of pictures. Today, this morning, it is currently 55F so I may or may not wear a light jacket or sweater when I head out for group volunteer work. I too do not keep my camera on during zoom but i do for meet and greet and afterwards. I hope they resolve what ever is making you feel poorly and that it was just a one off and don't catch any more ! I just got notice to do my next booster but I am holding off for now. The last one did not sit well with me, October will be better, maybe, we will see.
@Patti241 good morning, how are you doing ?
@everyone, have a wonder day today, may you accomplish what you need to and want too. Cheers, Linda

@Dianedoessmiles1 -growing up my mom used to say “what comes around goes around” and “I hope you have a daughter just like you”-she is very much still around-just doesn’t use those anymore.

Good evening, happy Thursday. Hope your day has been great. Only 86 today. Tabatha glad your first day went well.

Hugs all

@Cosmiccurves please check here for yours it's waiting for you on the RHCS team. I see it there

@Tabatha_Cain sounds really nice!! I had thought of doing receptionist jobs as one that was a lot more less stress than the accounting one I did!! YO!! I LOVE NUMBERS though, they always balance out. STILL people and LOLOL the STUFF they can do!! Though for the city it wasn't bad, since I was in Social Services, it was rather easy enough though if I had stopped and thought of the money stuff passing through my hands on an hourly basis!! YO!! It was in Social services, paying landlords, clients bills, handing them vouchers for food, non food and the list goes ON AND ON AND ON!! It was a very fast paced job. I saw the receptionists (2 of them) the one at the window was often STRAIGHT Out at opening times (8 AM and noon) but it'd wind way down at other times, but the other one,, LOL she could do her nails at times!! LOL I was also mostly straight out from the moment the first order hit my desk until after closing! ENJOY the decorating!! Likely there's not a lot of what you can do, still there's some neat things you can do that'll be classy. WOOHOO on the coffee also!
@Patti241 PLEASE COME HOME to us!! LOL hey we've been waiting on you. You'll find your invite as above, but since we are on the same team here's the invite also by clicking on the link. When you click on the link below it'll not bring you right in, but I am on tonight quite a lot so I'll see you.

Good Evening Everyone!

Tabitha - glad you had a great first day of work!

Fall is back! Today has been a great day overall! Need to remember to dress in better layers for my walks. Was a little brisk and ended up making a watered down hot chocolate with marshmallows. Switched on of my workouts with tomorrow's as I didn't think it was a good idea between my thumb I cut at work yesterday and that I knew how much pain I am in after work. I am off till Monday. Read through the employee handbook and started filling the paperwork out. I also managed to stick to the food plan for dinner tonight. Today at work I was on my own and only had to call my manager (friend) once 😁. No injuries. Dinner served on time and multiple complements on my cooking. Felt a little more at home in the kitchen with the flow.

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. I am feeling pretty good about today. It is going to be a great day. I know there are things I still need to do but it is going well. I have a lot of fun at work and I am going to enjoy the fun while it lasts.

@LindieMaeP - It is super chilly here too. It is 44 degrees F. It is time to take the air conditioners out of the window and possibly start the heat. Tonight I will have my son help me take the AC out of the windows.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - The owner is basically letting me run the show. Since I have tons of manager experience in an office setting he is letting me determine what is best to do in regards to clients and setting appointments and stuff. I am loving the control as I am a control freak. Plus it helps pad my resume.

Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

Tabatha

Good morning everyone. It is a bit chilly outside

@Tabatha_Cain,, LOVE how much you are enjoying work!! I've always said "If work isn't interesting or you do not enjoy it, FIND something else! Life is to short to spend so much on something we do not enjoy." Love it when we have the freedom to do a job without micromanaging!
@makingthyme ,,, WOOHOO Glad you in with the Rain Dancers, no matter what happens in life, dance in the rain we can do anything!! I am on Positively Strong 4 Life (CL). GOOOO ALLL TEAMS!!
May our efforts pay off! They will if follow them! I have 6 lbs to lose during the rest of the year to hit my YEARLY GOAL!! GOOD Thing I had set it reasonable!! WHAT A YEAR its been!! Last fall I had broken my left baby toe, had surgery because it developed a chip ,, in May. That got infected, been in the hospital 2 times with it once in June, again July. Ended up with a picc line and IV antibiotics for 6 weeks, than oral for 2 weeks. It's been almost 3 weeks and I can tell it's NOT cured. Its beginning to hurt, but this time I have to wait for the "seeable" evidence so they can treat it aggressively. No matter what life throws at us, protect our minds, I still have a LOT of fun and enjoy things. Pain is only pain.
@Patti241 I LOVE how cooler it is!! It's 57 now at 2:30 PM with a strong wind (Fiona is coming up the coast though not on the coast, the wind is at 17 MPH gusting to 27. Nice day to fly a kite! LOL
@Macrat12 HI Sarah
@Lindiemaep ,,, LOL Indeed soon you may be have some ice up there!! Now to get a few penguins!! THey are just WAY TO CUTE!!! I know you also enjoy them. I saw some at the Boston Aquarium. That was a fun place to go!!

Good Evening Everyone!

Today started out freezing for my walk with some strong breeze. Then it warmed up to cool but comfortable. Almost decided to go home not long after I started it was so cold. But decided to tough it out. Also completed the rest of my workouts. With the adjustment of no bands as it would bother my thumb, and also only did one set as it was bothering my hip and back area since starting work. Also did some cleaning in the kitchen.

Good morning everyone

@Dianedoessmiles1 - Help yourself glad to share it.
Good afternoon all, happy Saturday.

@Patti241 HI Patti!! Are you using blankets yet at night? I've turned my heat down, but not off!! The wind has died way down now that Fiona is long past us. I didn't lose my electricity, it was sparsely out in our area, down the street they were out for a few hours, but we weren't. I was prepared just in case, but I am anyways because the squirrels LOLOL they aren't to smart here!
@Macrat12 HI
@Lavalily ,, LOL I get that!! I didn't move much as a kid, only 5 times. One of those was just down the street to a much bigger house the first one I was only 3 so that didn't affect me other than my own room. BUT as an adult I LOVED moving for many times,, hmm 20 times!! I GET that "oh, I need something very different, I'll change around the furniture thing"!! I did so when the pandemic hit, I totally redid my place. Now though it's exactly what I wanted this place to look like when I first moved in here. It's perfect for me in every way! May you feel the same way about where it is you are moving into! This is the last place I'll live in until I or if I can't be on my own. I over look the harbor. I had seen this place many years ago when it became available I GRABBED IT SO FAST!! The moment I got the call I said "YES" "Don't you want to see it first?" "No, I'll take it, I saw it years ago." But, of course I had to see it. GLAD I did. May you feel the exact same way.
@Kurtize ,, PERFECT WAY to be healthy it's all there!! TY TY!
@Cseguin2 ,, sounds good!! Is it in a group home (My GD second job was in a group home with people dealing with brain injuries) we got to laughing so hard when she came home and told me "It's like dealing with you and Momma!" "What do you mean hon?" "I have one who reminds me of Momma, she only wants to sleep all day, and eat, that's it. The 2nd client is like you. I have to be on my toes, I NEVER KNOW what'll come out of her mouth next or what she'll do. I've been training for this ALL of my life!" We laughed and laughed, We still do!! She's in a very different job now. I used to dread days and days of rain, but no longer. We went through a severe drought and now we should be okay after many days Hopefully you'll do well enough with the rainy days.

@Lindiemaep ,, trying to get my HOPES WAY UP for a half decent wintah? Last year blahhhhhh was such a HUGE disappointment with only HALF the snow we had been getting. MAYBE THIS YEAR!! In 2012 in one storm dropped a very beautiful 31"s at once!! LOL SO COOL!! OF COURSE that was ONE WINTER I wasn't living in Maine, but in Colorado!! @Katiecondy1 HI!! LOL When I moved to CO the first thing those in my new congregation did was to say "OH WE GET A LOT OF SNOW here!! Have you ever seen snow?" Apparently many from California were moving in. When we said "Maine" they were so crushed sadly saying "Oh than you are.' LOLOLOL we laughed and laughed. BUT!! Soon we'd be joining them when welcoming others who were moving in with the same line!!! Anyone who's familiar with the Northeast Accent (think Boston and up north) knows we do not use our R's. The congregation I belong to often has audience participation with questions and answers. I enjoy answering. One night I had done so and the speaker said "We know you study hard, and enjoy answering, but we can't understand your accent." I laughed probably to hard. My FAVORITE accent is the real Southern Accent. That drawallll is so neat and pretty!! Up here we tend to speak fast, well hey we NEED to it's to cold and stand around. See Linda's pictures above. I CAN"T WAIT TO SEE SOME!! SO NEAT to you got to have your family over today. Awww babies are so precious!! They just are. Amigo please share with your Mom. When I am doing stretches Izzy does them with me. She's sooo funny!! When I change positions so does she though hers are different than mine.

Oh reminders of ..need to clean the furnace,,change the filters and make sure to get the ductwork cleaned out. Stack in at least another cord or two of wood, then we will be ready!! Here in SoCo it has been comfy cool at night (to me) in the 50's , only need a light blanket, but then I have two cats and two small dogs cuddled up around me ..so they are like lil furnaces!! Hoping and Praying for a snowy winter!! We have not had enough rain to break the drought but indeed Mother Earth will do as she sees and change seems to be in the process. How we lil creatures we are have the nerve to think we can control her mystifies me. Adapt or be eliminated..
Diane..oh no..Dad gum it ,,was so hoping that last round of antibiotics would take care of that infection.
Ya'al take care and have a good day..evening which ever applies! Ta for now!

@macrat12 HI Sarah
@Patti241 ,, Mine is now on 24/7. Not on high, it's on low, but yeah.
@Katiecondy1 ,,, Owning a place is great since it's ours, but of course yes maintenance upkeep is there. Love that you are on top of things, it's sad when some aren't. It's been in the 40s/50s most nights I am a light blanket, LOL BUT NOT ALL!! OH I WANT snow too AND A TON of it!! That'd help your drought!! That'd be great. Indeed the earth was designed to be self sustaining, but mankind is doing so much damage. I wish my my foot would behave, but it's determined to not do so. I'll get through this.
