@Lindiemaep ,,,, With Amigo's food then do 90% Old, 10% new and slowly so slowly go him over,, the first few times you feed him I'd give him all of his normal for a few meals, not long and ever so slowly increase it. Sometimes they are so naughty, though ever so cute!! Cold days equal inside exercise! WOOHOO!! SO MANY VIDEO's!!
@Cseguin2,,, Maybe next week though that's the week most will gain ,,, T Day and all. Good job on standing your ground with the residents/patients. I am not sure if you work in a place where it's a faculty that people live in or if it's more of a care place such as a hospital setting, but if you let them walk all over you at all, they'll take on over as much as they can. NO DOUBT they do appreciate food that tastes good!! TY TY TY TY!!!
@Novembergail,, in the 60s!!??? YO!!! We are in generally the low 40s in the day and upper 20s/low 30s at night. OH IN A WEE BIT hehehehehe we'll be doing good to get above freezing!! Tonight I went out the car, of course it's dark just after 4 ,, it was 6:10 and almost SLIPPED on a little bit of ice!! THANKFULLY my shoes are very good! They stayed right there and didn't force the "can you catch yourself issue". I do not hardly go out at night, but if I go to meeting on Tuesday nights and it's dark out, I probably should get a very small flashlight well I HAVE A FEW ,,, LOL They are IZZY's!! They have a laser light (FOOL CAT WILL STILL CHASE THAT! LOL) and a regular flashlight too. OHHH BILLIE GIRL!! Seriously CLEAN UP YOUR HOLES When you make them!! That's a SUPER ST!!2 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are doing well this morning. Today is going to be a good day. I am going to have a good day. Yesterday I left work early due to my monthly flow being heavy and really painful so I have to get it together and work harder today. I did not want to leave early but it was rough. I am feeling a little better today.
@LindieMaeP - Sometimes we have to sandwich our cats with a towel or blanket to get them to take their medicine. It stinks but it is for their own good.
@cormierannie - Glad you got your tasks done. That is always a nice feeling
@NovemberGail - That is great. You got a photo of a rare flower. Awesome. It was beautiful
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I love all my dogs and my cats. My cats definitely do whatever they want. The dogs are all better cuddles and loves.
@CSEGUIN2 - Glad you stood your ground. You should. Dinner sounds great by the way.
Well it is time to get ready for work. I hope you all have a great day.

@Tabatha_Cain ,,, Hope today you felt better. UGH so sorry about yesterday. Guys have NO CLUE what its like. Its a clear benefit of being older though!! NO MORE OF THAT!! If you are traveling please be careful. LOL I KNOW I've EARNED Izzy's love and am also at her beckon command!! LOLOL but, I love it. She KNOWS THAT!
@Patti241 ,, here to today!! I didn't go out, but it was gorgeous looking out the window!!
@Cormierannie,,, WOOHOO on going through the storage place!! AMAZING how much we can gather through the years. I am downsizing and have been. LOL I didn't have a lot to begin with , but I want only the absolutely essentials and a few extras to enjoy. It's so hard to get rid of art stuff, but even with that I have some of it. Helps that a neighbor has recently started to dabble and she doesn't have many extra funds, yet she's very appreciative. I don't have a lot I am giving away, but enough for her to play with. She tends to hoard so I am very very careful to only pass her things I know she's been doing and not much of it!
@Kurtize,, I know you are thankful every day as most of us are. It sure does help in todays world, the stream of time we are in to be thankful. Grateful.1 -
We have had two lovely balmy days...now the cold front is pushing thru and tomorrow will be brisk! Any talk of eating out under the shelter is a mote subject now for sure! I am waiting to get a call saying BYOC..bring your own chair!! heeeheee!
Doing prep to get ole Tom Turkey ready for the oven, other than that it was a "be quiet" day as Angela was working. Muffin has become a 4 alarm siren dog if she hears any noise and that pup can bark!! Also once she starts she is hard to shut down so I used that as an excuse to just go out and visit neighbors. My pups will sleep quietly while I am gone, once they are fed that is!!
On the idea of coauthoring a book..mmm might be something to think about. Since your book would be about Billie and mine would be about Skinner,,we could be each others proof readers and editors..then decide on a joint subject to confab on. Got to say Billie's adventures are definately book worthy!!
FOR ONE AND ALL ....MAY YOU HAVE AN ENJOYABLE THANKSGIVING DAY!

Good Evening Everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving to those who are celebrating!
I don't have to worry about the Thanksgiving gain as I went through it in October as I am Canadian and that's when we celebrate.
Today was sunny and fairly warm. Not sure if it was warmer than yesterday but it felt like it. Got quite a bit done today. Worked on my bookclub assignments, laundry, dishes, and even decluttered some extreme dust. Also did a bit of strength but not enough to count for my team. The residents had ham, scalloped potatoes, carrots, chicken and rice soup, and brownies with icing. Also had a resident come in and want me to make him his mac and cheese. Not sure when we became a restaurant. Hopefully the manager can put a stop to this before others start expecting the same treatment. Where I work it is more like a retirement home instead of a hospital setting. Meals are done in a cafeteria setting. Most of the residents are in there 30s and 40s and have mental illnesses.1 -
Good Evening, 2022 Fall 5% Challengers!!
For those who celebrate:
For those who don't:
I'm giving thanks this year for my family and my health. I'm giving thanks for great friends and for opportunities along life's journey that help to challenge me each and every single day. I'm giving thanks for my job (even though I would prefer to be retired). I'm giving thanks that I'm able to do things that I love.
I'm grateful for the 5% Challenges and the friendships that I have made as a result of them. I'm thankful that I get to work with an extremely awesome group who lead the 5% Challenges. I've learned from them and I hope, in some small way, I've been able to share things with them, too. Today (and every day), I give thanks for Lynn ~ @kaliswalker, Ceri ~ @Ceriusly1, Barb ~ @ladyluk1, and Diane ~ @Dianedoessmiles1.I'm thankful for YOU ~ the absolutely awesome 5% Challengers that I get to lead and/or work with each and every day.Heidi (hicim705), Captain

@Katiecondy1 ,, OH WAS A HOPING I'd see ya pop on!! Here's something in case you need a vegan turkey for a recipe
You and @Novembergail would do such a GREAT BOOK!!! Awwww Skinner was such a character!! WE ALL LOVED Skinner!!
@Cseguin2 ,,, I do not celebrate either, it's a choice. My GD for a few years worked in a residential setting with people who had traumatic brain injuries. She was living with me when she came home from her first day looks at me and says "It was like being with you and Momma!" "What do you mean hon?" "I have 2 clients I am assigned to. The first one just wants to sleep all day and do nothing (her mother) and the 2nd one is quite lively and I NEVER KNOW What she'll say and do!" I BURST OUT Laughing!! Here's something that they came up with that could possibly help you. If you say "no" or any such a thing it'll usually turn into something unpleasant!! However if you say "If you do not like mac and cheese there's also and name it all off." Often given the choice of just the words, some will realize it's that is that. Of course some places also have things like PB and J and bread, so those are the choices. IF they think they can manipulate you around,,, it'll go crazy from there. I'm sure your supervisor can be of a help also.
@Hicim705 ,,, OH Heidi!! We are so happy you are with us!!! Your organizational skills are AMAZING!!! Enjoy tomorrow. LOL Did you see the turkey above?2 -

@hicim705 ,,, LOL A vegan friend got SO EXCITED when I sent her this, I think I'll make her a small one. More of a Cornish game hen.
@Patti241,, I hope you get to enjoy the day!! Later I am going to a friends house, we aren't having Thanksgiving, for we are thankful every single day. But we WILL have plenty of giggles! That just makes life so much more fun!1 -
In a world where so many are hungry,
may we eat this food with humble hearts;
in a world where so many are lonely,
May we share this friendship with joyful hearts.

Good morning everyone, an update on Amigo, he's still with us, he's still weak, but is now eating and drinking water in small amounts, he still has to have his meds for a few more days. Infact Gene gave it to him this morning while I was sleeping so I will have to medicate him later. Won't that be fun!! He will be mad at me for a couple of hours and I will just let him be mad, He's asleep in his cat tree right now so that is ag ood sign,he had to jump up from the chair to get in. When he is off his meds I am going to give him plain greek yogurt and if he wants a blueberry or two, he can have that in moderation and will help what ever tummy troubles he may have.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day today, like @Dianedoessmiles1 I am thankful everyday. And @Dianedoessmiles1 you too funny woman !! Where's mine ?? I want a turkeney like that too but fill mine with Reecies Pieces ... LOLOLOL then I share with granddaughter who is called Reecy!! and yes we call her Reecies Pieces and she smiles. The sun is shining so I am heading out for a walk to get my 120 fitness minutes in shortly.

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a warm and sunny day. Started raining on my way home from work. It definitely was a productive day. Worked on my bookclub assignments, did some exercise, decluttered another shelf of all the dust bunnies, had a call back from Hubbies disability worker and got the file off suspension as it was her fault and also got a couple other things straightened out, laundry and dishes. Also walked to run my errands. Got home in time to put groceries away, have lunch and get ready for work. The residents were all very well behaved tonight. For dinner the residents had cabbage rolls, California mix vegetables, oven roasted potatoes, tomato soup, and a choice of vanilla or chocolate pudding. When I ran out of cabbage rolls they got leftover lasagna we had frozen. Tomorrow is going to be a fun day I hope. Will tell ya'll about it tomorrow.1 -

Good morning everyone, well not much change with Amigo and getting him to eat is problematic but I know his weakness and this morning I got 2 cans of friskies ( yea I know not good food ) with gravey as I knew he would lap up the gravey and get at least something in him, and some pieces of turkey on the way too - he did exactly that, I gave him his normal 2 tsp full and walked it to his tree. I tested him first to see if he was interested and he sure was. Then I put the bowl behind him on his tree bed and sure enough when I looked back, he had gotten up on all 4's and was eating. Then afterward he left the cat tree and is laying on the chair next to it so I removed the left over turkey pieces. I figure that is better then nothing but I did read that I should not force him to eat. So I used enticement instead lol - it's more for me really as I am worried because even after 3 days of meds he still not eating. Funny though he sure has strength to fight the meds - it's liquid in a dropper - an antibotic - I did research his being Anemic and that is very serious too just like it would be for a human. However when we asked about food for him they gave us food for the gastronic area... Anyway we wait and wait will we need a cat body bag? Dunno ... hope not for a while anyway.
@Kurtize love the post !! I was just saying on another team that I feel very good about what I have done this challenge and even if the scale does not meet my original goal, I am happy with what I have achieved and I can go from there during the IB!!
Well, have a wonderful Friday and weekend too !!

Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a busy day. Got up did some online check-ins. Then went back to bed for about an hour. Then got up had breakfast and got ready to leave. Went shopping with my Son and got a Birthday gift for tomorrow's party, also got slippers, and hikers for me and a couple of presents. Came home had lunch and then cleaned and reorganized the bedroom with my Son's help. One step closer to getting the Christmas decorating done.
The following pictures are from last Saturday when we decorated cookies.

@Lindiemaep ,,, OH SO HAPPY Amigo is at least eating something!! If he's a gravy own type of kitty I buy Izzy
She never liked the other stuff at all. She'd only lick the gravy and walk away. This stuff though she goes NUTS about. LOL THE TWITS they are!! Sure hope Amigo will be okay.
Yesterday I went to a friends house (We do not celebrate any holidays) her H had the night off so the 4 of us, just sat around talked, ate. Four of us? Awwww they have a 2 month old!! She's a very easy going baby. SO SWEET!! LOL I had her giggling and giggling throughout the evening. At 2 months old she's sleeping THROUGH THE NIGHT!! LOL she was awake the time I was there from 4 to 6:30 though she was starting to get tired. Awwww so cute!! A very very nice young couple and a joy to be around!! Today I went to Chick Fil A ,,, wasn't impressed. It was so DIRTY inside, the chicken was hot, but to me no better (LOL OR WORSE) than KFC. Next time we'll do Popeyes because "the girls" had gone last week and said it's much better. LOL "the Girls" are all in their 80s! After we finished eating, we went to Burlington Coat, they all wanted coats, I wanted s shirt and new sweater. I found them both easily and pretty fast!! So I went over to the coat department to see how the 3 of them were doing. It took time,, the 86 year old found one right off, the 83 year old found one after we looked at quite a few, and had her try some on. I found one and really liked it, it did look good, but I wasn't really wanting to spend the extra money I hadn't put into my budget (if it's not on the list in general I do not get things) so I had the 83 year try it on. She kept saying as she started to put it on "it's not my color, it's not my color." Its HOT PINK, but classy. So she puts it on, and INSTANTLY FEEL SO LOVE with it!! I was THRILLED FOR HER!!! Then I spotted a NEON YELLOW/GREEN That matches my GLASSES PERFECTLY!! Well WE ALL KNOW its now MINE!! LOLOL great price too.1 -

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well. Black Friday deals were great. I got my shoes I am wearing for my wedding dress at 35% off and I got my Wedding bands on sale as well as got a free nintendo switch lite with their purchase. Isn't that great I am super excited about the rings. I love how they go together. I cannot wait to wear them both. That is obviously after I say I do. I am wanting it to come faster and faster so we can get it all planned and everything done. I am really excited. I am also excited that we will have everything all set up and ready to go before the wedding. I think the most expensive parts of the wedding are going to be the food and the rings. Those are going to be the most expensive parts. I am saving so much money for everything. I really am. I am trying to so hard to get everything paid for. I want it all done now.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - That is a really good turkey photo. I think it is definitely vegan. I love this little meme's that are funny like this.
@LindieMaeP - I am so glad Amigo is still with us. I am glad you got him to eat something. That is always reassuring. That means he is not really close to leaving. Usually they will stop eating and show no interest in food for a couple of days. It does sound like he is improving though. Who knows.
@cormierannie - For just a second I thought why is your daughter in school on Thanksgiving. Then I saw that you posted to those in the U.S. That got me thinking. Are you in the U.S.? I cannot remember if we have ever said if you are or not.
@CSEGUIN2 - That all sounds so good. I am glad these elderly people are getting good food. So many times companies skimp on the food they serve people just to save money. It does not sound like your employer does that. It sounds like they are giving out really good meals to their clients.
Well it is time to get ready for cleaning. I hope you all have a great day

Good morning, we are expecting a wind storm with gusts up to 80 KM and that will be tonight, but for now it is rain rain rain and I have to go out this afternoon to the Student's Holiday Craft Fair - I won't be buying anything, just stopping by my granddaughter's booth to get my pre ordered earrings lol Got Gene up at 5:30 to give Amigo his meds, wasn't much better with the 2 of us so early, tonight should be better. He does not have much left since Gene spilt some on the floor - then tried to use the stopper to suck it up...duhhhhhh !!! Contaminated, Amigo is already having issues with his anemia does not need more - happy to say Amigo ate again last night and a bit this morning. Well he lapped up the gravey and that is fine with me.
@Dianedoessmiles1 I had to enlarge the picture of the food but still could not read the name, we don't always have the things you do, so what is the name so I can see about it. Also am I surprised at your coat ?? ?Not a chance - would you be surprised if I bought the pink one, nope not in the least LOL I do have a nice green coat a sister gave me but I need to tighten the buttons on them, so not closing it for now I will need it next week for sure - it's suppose to be super cold and maybe snow on Wednesday!
@Tabatha_Cain, thanks very much yes Amigo is still hanging in there. When his meds is done, I will add 2 tbs of plain greek yogurt to his diet as well as blueberries, he can have both it will help his digestive tract. He's a real fussy eater - for the most part does not eat people food except peanut butter !! Glad you found your rings and you are happy with them. It's hard to be pateint when you so want to finish the project, perhaps time is your best friend right now to allow you to build up for your special day, your wedding. You have planned well, so stick with the plan... so exciting eh !!!
My granddaughter has a Student Holiday Craft Fair at the school in my old neighbourhood so after my meeting I will be heading there to pick up my pre ordered, non holiday ( I don't celebrate ) earrings and spend some time chit chatting at the booth IF I get there on time, I have till 3 to get there, told my daughter I would be there at 2:55 PM she laughed lol.
I have to say I am very happy with the progress I made this last challenge - While I did not meet target weight, I did loose almost 5 lbs and that is something to celebrate for me. I am learning not to yoyo back and forth but to stay on course. I hope you all have something you can celebrate in your results of the 5% fall challenge. Some of you I will see on the IBC !!!
