Good Evening Everyone!

I haven't heard if I have passed or failed my certificate yet. My Son is doing better for now but with mental illness that doesn't mean it won't happen again and you never know when it will happen again. The system is sooooo overwhelmed that I am sure he isn't getting all the care he truly needs.

Yesterday was a busy day. Exercised in the morning. Went with my Son, Sister and Brother-in-law to visit Mom's resting place. Found out my Sister had a flat tire as we were about to leave. As I was already in the car not sure how bad it was. But they were arguing about it and decided to drive to the nearest gas station to pump it up instead of putting the spare on as my Sister wanted. It was starting to upset my Son. Told them to knock it off and gave my Brother-in-law strict instructions that his job was to keep an eye on the tire and let my Sister concentrate on driving. Then we went to the party where I had a blast for the most part. Found out that my friend was called back to work by the new company on Wednesday and starts this week. Everyone else knew but me. That hurt but I will not say anything to her about it. I am glad she got the call.

Today went a little different than planned. Went to Church no snow. Went to coffee hour after Church and there was snow on the ground. Had been snowing all day. Shoveled and salted our property and my clients. After that it was rest for me. Back at my scheduled exercise tomorrow.

@Lindiemaep ,,, for the mini blinds have you tried a small dustpan and broom (Of course the brush part of that combo)? The bristles are small enough and yet enough of them that they get into the slats easily. If you like things are a lower cost I think?? You can find them here, and likely many other types of soft bristle type of brushes that'll work. Unless of course you are looking for something that'll stretch up high, but isn't that what Gene is for? 🤣🤣🤣 My air fryer is very easy to clean so I do not mind doing the basket. I'm sure Gene won't do this, but the moment I empty the food into my plate, I put the part of the air fryer right into the sink fill it with water and Dawn. SUPER easy to clean when I am done cooking. LOL Even when I make a huge mess!!! Enjoy the video!! I SURE did.
@Cseguin2,,, The mental health system is so broken!! So very very broken!! I'm so sorry your S goes through this and so of course the rest of you do. We always a can of "fix a flat" in the car. Sure it can ruin the tire, but if we aren't around here it's a quick solution. Our tires are very good and we only travel LOLOL 1 to 2,000 YES thousand miles a year IF THAT!! Most places we go are within 1 to 7 miles each way. Its the city. I am hoping your friend is waiting to hear if you have the certificate, she may be trying to get you in there also. But, if you need to be certified or if you are and it'll increase your pay,,, she may not of said anything yet. Or she's just so very uncomfortable mentioning it. It's not an easy position for her to be in or for you.
@Novembergail ,,, LOL THIS GAME is going to KILL ME!! I had picked my teams last week, and if the 49ers win,, WOOHOO ALL 4 PICKED RIGHT!! LAST 6 seconds to go!!

OH FUN Gail to do the line dancing!! I had wanted to learn at one point. FOOLISH foot now breaks every time I try something that puts any extra pressure of it, but if it didn't I'd be JOINING YOU!!! HAVE FUN with it!! As you are! That's ALL that counts!! Awwww TY TY TY TY for cheering me on with Cribbage the first 2 times are for those who need to learn, and I am always happy to give newbies hints to play well. Oh, I DO NOT DO THAT with those who play well enough though!! Those mushrooms are AMAZING!!

Diane: I crochet and read. Starting today I will be going to Planet Fitness and start to work out.

@Tabatha_Cain ,,, So happy you are enjoying the 2nd job! That's GREAT!! Do you track our food? If so are you getting enough protein and fiber? They help us to be fuller longer. Or under stress? Sometimes my cravings are also because I am low in a nutrition I need.
@Patti241,,, WOOHOO Patti!! WTG!! How did the gym go?
@Majork29 ,,, WB!! Hope you had a fantastic time!! Many of us are more focused on our health, by doing so some do lose more weight, but WOOHOO almost all are saying the same thing even if they do not lose weight or not much weight "My muscles are tightening up, I have a lot more energy." And dropping clothing sizes!! Nice decision!!
@Macrat12 ,, HI Sarah. Nice job.
@tslose ,,,, Nice job on making it to the gym 4 times last week!! Yesterday you may of had more sodium then your usual which can cause the weight to go up. I DO LOVE weighing in daily (LOL Often many times a day cause I LOVE numbers and find it very motivating. Today it helped me to redo my plan for the day). Eating slower is such a help to know when we are starting to get full without being to full. I also find and I do not know if I am strange (LOLOL well in some ways!) but if i stand up thinking "I am still hungry!" after eating my usual amount, when I stand up I realize "no I am actually full!" I do like the PAUSE this week, it'll help me even more so.
At noon we had 10"s of snow from last night and we could end up with a foot, it'll be done in about 2 plus hours. I'd LOVE to go out tonight and clean off the car, but I ALSO LOVE being warm!! LOL!! The wind is pretty strong right now. LOL we know I'll probably wait some.

Good afternoon and happy Monday. WTG @NovemberGail for picking all teams. @CSEGUIN2 hope you hear about your certificate soon. Sadly our mental health care is broken and has been for years. My nephew was schizophrenia and bipolar. He never got the help he needed. When he was 30 committed suicide, my sister never really got over that. We need to bring back some of the help and hospitals to help people that suffer from various mental disorders. It is cold here and supposed to be all week, in high 40's (I know some of you are colder than that). I signed up on a new app I got from my supplement insurance company UnitedHealth care, its called Kaia, anyone can sign up and pay but apparently a number of insurance companies cover it. They help with exercises if you are struggling with pain and other things. So going to try it. Other than that nothing else new. Hugs and blessings, Joyce

@Kurtize: 🤣I wished I had picked all four teams but that was Diane that managed that feat. I'm rooting for Kansas City. Love their quarterback.

Now I'm calling it a night. Just ending the day with tomorrow's word for the day:

INSPIRATION

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all having a good morning. Today is the last day off of my second job. Starting tomorrow I work both jobs 3 days in a row. That is going to be tiring, but I will make some decent money. I am looking forward to it and learning new things. I am glad I get to work a second job. That is definitely going to bring in some more money for the wedding. We are going to try and pay off the venue first and then pay on the DJ and then pay the cake off. Then everything else should be easy. We only need a couple more things and we should get those ordered too. I do want to pay on the venue this next check and then after that order some more supplies. Then pay on the venue and then order supplies. That sort of thing, I think that will make it easier to handle.

@tslose - I completely understand. I love when I am able to get to the gym. I need to do better at eating slower as well.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I do track my food. I know a lot of times I don't eat enough. I should eat a little more because I eat the bare minimum. Sorry you are getting so much snow. Although I am sure it is needed.
@CSEGUIN2 - I need to sleep in. That won't happen this weekend. I have a lot going on this weekend.
@Kurtize - That is great that you signed up for the new insurance. I am glad that it will help you out.

Well it is time to get some food. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Tabatha
