    Good morning, everyone! It's a mild weather day here today. My daughter says hello to all. She's working at her part time job today. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I went for a short run earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I'll be going for a walk after lunch to check out the boxing Day sales. I'll be doing some dancing later on. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.

    I am now down 49.2 pounds from my heaviest weight. I was hoping to be at this point by the end of the year, and am excited to lose the next 50 pounds. I ordered a folding treadmill that should be here Thursday-a good use of some of my bonus from work! I am starting a challenge with my sister on the 1st to walk a mile every day in 2024! Can’t wait for the 5% challenge to start up again!

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and I am looking forward to getting this week over with. I am tired of working at this point. I am tired, and so stressed over things right now. I think it is just that I just want to stay home and do nothing. Like literally do nothing. My husband wants to go to his parents all the time and I don't. His Mom literally treats us like crap.

    @mlkdud - That is a good challenge. I am sure you will do great in 2024.

    Well I hope you all have a great Wednesday.

    Good evening, everyone! It's a rainy day here today. My daughter says hello to all. She worked at her part time job today. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I went for a short indoor run earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I did my strength training workout this morning and I feel great! I went for a walk after lunch. I'll be doing some dancing later on. I played bingo this afternoon at the building that's close to my place and I had fun. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.

    My husband’s aunts sent us a Ninja Foodi for Christmas. I’ve made sweet potatoes in it and am roasting some Brussels sprouts right now. I think I’m going to love it! My treadmill arrived today and it’s all set up and ready to go!

    @Tabatha_Cain is your MIL one who can be reasoned with? NOT all can, but some can. I am so sorry hon, because if she took the time to see you, she'd see what we do. AN AMAZING WOMAN who has such a large heart.
    @Mlkdud, I had to look up to see what a Ninja Foodi was, nice machine!! I have a Nuwave Bravo 12 in 1, I LOVE THIS THING!! WOOHOO!!! CONGRATS!! It's great to make fries and NOT have them be soggy or oily. You can do smuch in the Ninja Foodi!! Nice so nice!!! WOOHOO on the threadmill also!! Hmmm I am thinking this is YOUR CHALLENGE!! So happy you are with us!

    I did a blog tonight, @Tabatha_Cain, I am heading back in to read yours.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday and it is going to be a good day. I have recently learned I am going through perimenopause. It is horrible already. The exhaustion, pms, food cravings, and hot flashes are crazy. Does it ever get better? I hope it does. I really just want to eat everything. It is so hard to not eat whatever I want and to stick with the healthy living.

    At work my boss called me yesterday and I exceeded all my goals but 1. I am $79 away from my Travel Goal of $3000 for the year. She is waiting for a couple of days because some of my travel things have not hit yet and she wants to make sure I get full credit. It is crazy. I never thought I would be able to get $3000 and I am so close. I know I can do a good job next year. I know I will have a bigger goal, but I am sure I can do it. I am sure I can. I will be like a machine. I am going to sell a ton.

    @cormierannie - I hope you had a good time with bingo.
    @mlkdud - I love my air fryer that I have. We use it all the time. It works great. I hope you love your treadmill when it shows up.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Unfortunately no. My mother in law is all about herself. According to my husband she is a narcissist. So everything has to be about her. I have saved your blog so I can catch up and read it all. I did read some of it this morning.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

    @Tabatha_Cain, WOOHOO FOR THE GOLD!!! Did you sell any today? Hopefully tomorrow you'll reach that end of the year goal! I've dealt with to many narcissists in life. It a sad way of living to THINK that the sun/world and everyone MUST listen to YOU, but they have no clue they do not learn nor adapt to others, it's only what they want, as they want, how they want and there is zero reasoning with them. SO SORRY!! I cut all ties with one as soon as I realize it. My step father was one, when I moved to CO with a friend who was/is dumb enough to take back a "man" (used loosely!) she loved who moved out with us, I came back FAST!! And my dear GD married one he hid it for 2 years, but when a child comes along, they show their true colors. Its never an easy situation. We can eat our emotions and it's a habit so hard to break. Do you enjoy any hobbies? Something fun? Many love knitting and I "guess" i had at one point, crocheting I did enjoy, but once it was no more of a challenge to do, I grew bored. When I got Oscar (LOL he's so cute, but at first being a kitten he was so WILD! Now he's slowly calming down (I MISS the kittenhood, and LOLOL Grateful they do not stay that way! LOLOL) I am going to work on the 3D Titanic again. He got to it at one point, so I need to redo some of the work. HOPEFULLY I will not take it all apart and start again, but if I have to, we know I will!

    Happy Thursday, we got our washer, dryer and 2 new recliners delivered today. Got a little more put away, slowly but surely getting things done and finding places for everything. Hope you all had a great day, chilly here 39, right now. Hugs all

    @Kurtize, have we mentioned how PAWSOME you are? To move this time of year is an UNREAL STRESS!!! I once had to move on the 25th!! THANKFULLY it was in the same high rise, and many of my friends do not celebrate. We had moved all, but the big things, and one of those friends I found happen to have a furniture mover to make it easier, he and his wife, were fantastic!! THANKFULLY I only had 4 or 5 pieces that needed to be moved. THat was so FREAKY!! You are doing AMAZING!!! Do you like it?

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and it is going to be a good day. I think I finally got some good sleep. I found that white noise did really well for me last night. It was great. I loved it. I feel so refreshed this morning. At first I was a little groggy, but now I feel pretty good. I am hoping that I get my last of my travel goal today. I am hoping to sell a travel insurance that I quoted someone last month for their cruise in January. I gave them the quotes and they were not liking the price but it was an $8,000 cruise and they are in their 70's. So high probability that they will have to cancel for some reason so it cost a little more. For the best package it was $1,217.00 and for the one below it it was $977.00. Most importantly is the medical coverage since they are going out of the country. US medical will not cover you in another country. So you need to have coverage just in case otherwise you have big bills if something happens. So I push the higher package just because it is 75,000 in medical versus 25,000 medical.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I used to love crochetting. I just know I am not super good at it. I will get better if I practice I know. I just have no one to give my stuff too. I think I am still waiting on my boss's hotel and car rental to hit the system. That should take me over the $79 for travel. I also had someone call about the travel insurance that I quoted them last month on their cruise. It would be nice to sell it. I should pick up crocheting again. I think it would be fun.

    Well I hope you all have a great Friday.

    Hi there's,

    Well here goes another update for you all during Christmas Week.

    After the fall and putting Bella to sleep. I was starting to feel not right, started having my what I call gi flare up with ulcers and fever blisters. I stated my protocol for that.

    We'd morning I woke up to my mother having a stoke and being airlifted to a local hospital. It wad later confirmed it was a cause of her bloodsugar. She is good now and on the mend.

    I had a doctor appointment so I stayed back and helped with the animals against my will. You don't not do what mom wants wveb if she's sick.

    That night about 830 I started throwing up every 5 minutes. Bloodsugar went thru the rough with like 30 minutes. It was acid throwing up even though I had food in my stomach. I got about an hour asleep and then I woke up to hurting in my back in pain like I could not belive. I could not get comfortable at all. I tried everything and it worked only like 5 minutes

    My sister was coming over that morning to get things for my mom as she was getting released. With the help of her,and dad they helped me get in the car to go to the er which is only about 2 minutes away.

    I had Diabetic DKP, kictones were thru the rough, I had infections they they could not find I was dehydrated to the max and my dic said he has never seen this. I was given a shot for the pain abs I had a total of 6 blankets on me . Doc sent me by ambulance to the icu department.

    Luckly mom and me made it thru I was out by Saturday. I went to doc yesterday and I am back in range with everything and slowly becoming active again .
    Doc wants me to get back to my steps and build up my exercises this week.

    So thats about it for me. I'll be back posting and getting things set up for rhe challang3.

    By for now

    Hi all hope your day is going well. I am not sure what day it is. We went shopping for some stuff for bathroom, got over the toilet shelves for both bathrooms. We got rid of a lot of stuff but this place is smaller which I love but not as much storage. Putting the shelve together had it moments, but Don and I are still talking LOL. @Dianedoessmiles1 we both really like it here. More traffic and busier when we go out but everything is close and easy to get to. Love our place and the park. Met some neighbors and all very nice. Well that's it for now, hugs and blessings everyone. Joyce

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday and I am hoping that we get some exercise today. That would be so nice getting some exercise. We are going shopping today for some New Year's Eve foods we are wanting to make. We are unable to visit Joe's family since they are all sick, so we will be home. We will be making some of their snacks and we will be relaxing at home with my son and his fiance. They are going to come over for a bit before heading out to a POW-WOW. My son's Dad is full blood Sioux indian. So my son goes to pow-wow's that are local. My son's tribe is in South Dakota. The Rosebud Tribe. However it is too far away to get my son there for pow-wow's so he goes to the local tribe about an hour away to theirs. They are pretty accepting of him.

    @HeevenleeRose - I am so sorry that your mother had a stroke. That had to be rough seeing her get air lifted to the hospital. I am glad she is alright now though. I am also glad you were able to get help with your infection. That can be so very dangerous. I am sorry they could not figure out where it was coming from though. That seems a bit more scary since it could happen again.
    @Kurtize - I am glad you were able to go out and get more stuff for your new home. That is great that your neighbors seem nice. That is always a good thing.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

    Hi all hope your day is going well. We have the kitchen, pantry, laundry room, living room, our bedroom and guest bathroom done. Left, our bathroom, the computer room and exercise room (these 2 rooms are our extra bedrooms). I will be glad when it is all done. Met some more neighbors, they are very welcoming. Hugs all.

    @HeevenleeRose , How are you today? Do you have any signs of infection? Infections scare me since last summer I had my 2nd bone infection. Please be so careful. Glad your Mom is better. SCARY STUFF!
    @Kuritze, that's WONDERFUL!! I love being so close to the grocery store, bank, library (Though it's rare I go, I CAN! LOL) a few mini malls, and TONS of interesting places to shop and or eat! Once the businesses close down at night the traffic goes away down. I am so used to traffic it doesn't bother me. Plus I am on the harbor side, not the main street it's much quietier on this side. Having a very well built building helps with the noise also. I'm still smiling how nicely your house sold, once an interested buyer came along!
    @Tabatha_Cain, WOOHOO??? Hmmm I mean "OOPS??" LOL I know you and Joe would rather not be around the family. It was so nice of them to sick, so you do not have too!! Like the way I put that? GRIN.

    Good Evening Everyone!

    Sorry I have been MIA.

    Life has been crazy with work and the holidays. Got lots of things on my Christmas list. The ex has made it miserable enough over Christmas that my son left on boxing day and is refusing to come and visit with me anymore. Exercise is minimal. On days off I find I spend most of the day sleeping on and off. The ex doesn't do much around here and that drives me crazy as I end up having to do everything on my days off. I will do my best to check-in but probably won't except on my days off which are Fridays and Saturdays. Happy New Year everyone!
