Lisa - You are probably on the Grandeur of the Seas!!
I am very curious about the semaglutide for myself, but my inertia is keeping me from asking my doctor about it. Maybe at my next checkup in the fall....

Good evening,
Dragon has found a flaw that may just get me fired. She will as of tomorrow check my work and if I do not make adjustments have a 100% audit. She is just too happy for words.
So tonight it is a little somber here. I also know if I can collect unemployment it is better than nothing. I am not there yet.
I do not have the kind of food to binge on and that may be the best thing.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Lana, very happy to share my experience with you! It's the best decision I have made. I felt so hopeless and out of control and was very mentally unwell... it helped me change my eating. I look at French fries and feel ill. I think I have eaten maybe 20 potato chips in the past 4 months. It's not without side-effects, but those are so minor to me because the benefits by far out weigh them.
And yes, I think you are correct about the ship!
Sara, I hope all goes ok for you and the dragon. Karma has a way of finding people like that!
I'm sick of working today. Supposed to have tomorrow off but will be working a 1/2 day. Sigh!

Hi Y'all~~
Boy, I am getting here late....
Sara - what in the world? Let us know how today went re The Dragon. I cannot imagine how things work at your work. Hugs!
Lisa - glad you have to work only a half of the day tomorrow.
Today was long yet not much got done. Dang.

Good evening,
I am taking June off from work, my Dr. will be out of town for 3 months, but I got her in time to sign forms. It will be a gamble, but taking 2 weeks off really will not be enough time. I am so tired of dealing with work. My Dr could not understand the email my boss sent me, if that tells you how badly my boss communicates.
I got 5k so I am pleased with that.
Tomorrow is Friday and it is a 3 day weekend for a lot of us. Boss has a 4 day weekend.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Good morning all ☀️
Sara - I've thinking about you since you wrote about the bad situation at work.
What is the flaw that Dragon found?
Is there a transfer within the company that you could make so that you have a different supervisor?
This seems like tactical bullying to me: she gives you this ration of crap right before a long weekend in order to ruin your holiday.
I hope that you can enjoy time this weekend with friends and at church, etc.
Sending you big hugs.

Happy Friday evening!!
Lana - thank you. I have been making mistakes that I was never trained on and so I stand to be given a 100% audit immediately.
My flaw? Ultimately, she had to take me to work in her department. You are correct, Dragon does nothing without an agenda. It has been exhausting staying out of the way of her karma.
I am thrilled to be off for 3 days and I will not worrying about things. My job in June is to rest and get part time jobs for July so that I can move on.
But, today is Friday of a 3 day weekend. Luckily for me dangerous food is far away so I will celebrate with good music and rest.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -

Happy Saturday everyone~~
Sara has a great idea for the weekend: good music and rest! 🎶
I'm going to stay away from the Do List and instead I'm just going to take the days as they come, doing some useful things and then doing some fun things + resting.

Good evening,
Got out of the house, stayed away from junk food, but did not walk much.

Evening all.
Lana, love the outlook. Take one at a time and mix in some fun!
Sara, karma will come back on dragon! People like that need to give others a hard time to make themselves feel better. If you weren't trained properly, how is it your fault? Hugs!! Keep your chin up. Something better will come along.
Busy day here... we hosted an exchange student from Germany this school year and her parents are coming tonight. They are staying at our house for a few days before they take a vacation to Hawaii and then the Grand Canyon before leaving back to Germany. It's been a good experience for everyone having her live with us. It's hard to believe that it's already time for her to return home.
We took her to Medeval Times dinner show tonight. I ordered the vegetarian dish which was great! It was basically chili without meat and added extra beans n rice.
I did low carb up until yesterday. Friday night is pizza night at our house. So I decided to try the gluten free crust. That was surprisingly good too. I wasn't half as bloated as I normally am after eating pizza!
Didn't get my steps in, but did a lot of cleaning, so hopefully that counts for some of it.
Hope you all are enjoying the long weekend!

Happy Sunday Y'all~
Lisa - what a great thing to have an exchange student! You've got me thinking.... 😆
Sara - I hope that your weather is good enough to get some steps in today.
It's raining here, so free water to top up the pool. Maybe I'll do some grocery shopping today and then some meal prep?

Good day! Getting ready to head out with the family and visitors. Going to take a short boat tour and do some sightseeing.
Hard to eat right with visitors, but just eating less so doing what I can.
Tired. Looking forward to getting back on track tomorrow.
Hope all have a great day.

Lisa - trusting that you are having/had a good adventure with your visitors 😁
It is so dreary here in NC. I've got to maintain mental altitude in order to get things done and not want to crawl back into bed.....

Good morning and happy Tuesday! I managed to put .8 lbs back on, but it's not horrible and probably some water weight from eating out.
Our sightseeing was fun, had a nice weekend.
Lana, I can understand, I didn't want to get out of bed today lol. Our weekend was so busy. I need to try and stay active this week as lazy as Ifeel right now.
Sara, hoping you have a great day today!
Here's wishing everyone a successful day towards your goals!! 💖

Good evening,
One more day of dragon, she was in her office most of the day. With any luck she will work from home. Then my month away from work starts.
Got my 5k.
Hope I get more sleep tonight. Had great coffee chocolate ice cream, too much and too late last night -- now I know why I didnt sleep. Connecting the dots is not a strong skill today.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Happy Wednesday.
Sara, hope you got some good sleep last night and that today is good day for you!
I got back on the wagon yesterday and more so today. I did my in home cavitation and got on the elliptical for 17 min. My goal is 15 and I did an extra 2 just to push myself a little. I sweat like crazy which felt pretty good too, but not as good as the shower afterwards 😅.
Weight is a little harder to get off this week compared to last week. But that's how it goes sometimes.
Wishing everyone a great day! 💖

Good evening,
Lana - boss got me between a rock and a hard place - seems my work has too many mistakes. There has always been a question of lack of training that has been denied. So I am taking FMLA for June to stop me from doing something unprofessional.
More online technology that is beyond me in filing for FMLA, I hope to get this done today/tomorrow.
Right hand and left hand are not talking at work for this leave. I am glad to be home so I can walk and take naps.

Good morning all~~
Sara - What a situation you are in. I am so sorry. Sending you hugs and metta and wishes for some clarity to see your best way forward, whatever that may mean for your safe and healthy future.
Get your walking/exercise in every day, for the mental health factor! 🤗
Needless to say, the Cabana Boys will be having a very special Friday Happy Hour today! ⛱️🌴
Waves to all who stop by today 🌺

Good evening,
My normal nap didnt happen and then I fell asleep after an early dinner, so before I am wide awake at 3am (nothing wrong with that, but not my formal schedule) I am awake and "finishing my evening".
Lana - thank you. Too many weird things going on and I need to stop and think. Cant do that while fighting a dragon and staying out of bad karmas way.
One of my jobs is to get outside and walk or just not be alone all day. The other is to eat better. The ice cream is gone and it is not allowed in the house for awhile. Hot temps are coming but there is more than one way to deal with it and be good to myself.
I weighed myself in my long nightgown - our temps have been weirdly cold. Weighed again 2 pounds lighter. Lana did you have your heavy shoes on when you weighed Friday?

Good morning all~~
Sara - You are so funny! No I didn't have my heavy shoes on 🤣
You know, I never thought to weigh my steel-toe work boots back when I was working. They are in NYC right now, but I bet they weigh at least 2 pounds apiece!
(I weigh first thing in the morning, after the bathroom, in my birthday suit.)
Seriously though, maybe you can do some extra volunteering at the church or something to help other people. They say being helpful to others is one of the best things for loneliness/isolation, and I know that you have a church you belong to.
Time to get going now......

Hello and good morning!
I had a touch of the stomach flu so, had been down for the count. All I could eat were crackers n toast. Yesterday was back to normal and hubby took me out for date night. I did really well eating out and was proud of myself. I ordered steak n lobster and as badly as I wanted a loaded baked potato and some of their yummy bread, I got a side salad and Brussel sprouts instead. That was hard bc hubby got loaded mashed potatoes and I wanted some, but held firm.
I am on the cusp of onederland.... 200.6 and it's the weekend...so gotta try not to sabotage it. Fingers crossed for 199 in the next few days!
Tomorrow we are driving to Yuma to meet our 2 kids who are in the Navy, stationed in San Diego, for lunch. It's a 3 hr drive for each of us to Yuma. His daughter is 21, my son is 21, and they call themselves "the twins" 🤣 they just moved off base and got an apartment together so we are bringing them a few things to get them started. We are so fortunate that not only do all the kids get along in our blended family, but that they both got stationed so close to home.
Sara, I hope you enjoy your month off and can refocus your energy on you (hugs).
Lana, stop holding on to your weights when you get on the scale! LoL.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!
- Lisa2 -
Lisa - good for you on skipping the loaded baked potato. They are a meal by themselves!
Holy cow, you are right there at Onederland!! We are cheering you on!
That is cool about your two kids! Enjoy the day tomorrow 😁

Good evening,
Today was pedicure day. Since I cant safely cut my toenails this is the best option.
Spent rest of day at hairdressers knitting. One of the customers was someone I knew over 10 years ago and it was good to see her.
Dinner choices are getting better and the ice cream is gone.

Happy Sunday ☀️
Boy, it is dark and gloomy here in NC. I will pretend that it is a gloriously sunny day in order to boost myself up to have a good day.
Sara - Sounds like you have the perfect hairdresser and salon--a bit old-fashioned, with a warm vibe.

Good evening,
94 here, so the weather people are beginning to do things right.
Bills to pay - and speaking of pains, Father messed up and Step-witch will be there Thursday and no she does not want a sandwich. I will get him in the car and drive somewhere. I need her insults like I need 50 pounds.
Slept today and got 3500 steps. It is what it is.

Good morning to us all~~
Sara -Call your father today and tell him he should come alone on Thursday because his wife is mean and hurtful towards you, which will no longer be tolerated.
If that can't happen, and she does come on Thursday, then buck up and straightaway tell her, at the first insult, that her ugly behavior towards you will no longer be tolerated, and show them both the door.
This is self care that you must do, dear one. 🤗😘
