Good afternoon, everyone! It is a mostly cloudy 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 did my strength training workout earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I went for a walk after lunch and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing later on. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.

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.

@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!

@Cseguin2, So sorry!! How old is S? my GD ex is a turd, and telling my GGS "your mother hates me." Hmmm NICE MOVE BOZO!! He asked his Mom who said "You love your Dad, and you should. He loves you too." and changed the subject. She knows in time and will explain to him later on adults do not have to love each other, but they still can each love the child. The spouses who do this (both of them) it's so much easier. THe ones who make it so the child hates one parent eventually the child sees it most of the time, in time. I am so sorry for the hurt you are going through.
@Bookienj, we ACCIDENTLY saw a tiny bit of snow today, it got so scared it cried so hard, it was rain again. SIGH!! I loved help you all!! TY TY TY TY so much for stepping up!! When I was told about the new program in my city to help those who are elderly or disabled to not feel so alone, you actually went through my mind. It just feels good to help others. Do you find by being a leader you get more out of it in a positive way? I sure do.

Hi everyone

@Dianedoessmiles1 I am better thanks for asking. All my counts and infection white count is in range.

@Tabatha_Cain It was crazy I can tell you that. I am on the mend now and on some preventive meds to take to hopefully it want happen. I was extremally ill. I go back to all my docs Tuesday.

Well they are all done with house and we are slowly getting things going again. Project for this New years eve and New Years day. Having Sunday Lunch with family today. Its going to be Christmas Lunch since we didn;t get to do our usual tradition of Chirstmas Lunch. Well I better go.

Hugs

@TEXASTITCHER - we have the same tickets. Enjoy!

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Happy New Year to you all. Today Joe and I are going to laze around and enjoy the first day of the year. Fireworks and guns were going off last night so we do need to check for bullet holes in our cars today. Seriously why is that even a thing. Do people not realize that bullets going up is dangerous? They probably just don't care. Joe and I hosted a little New Year's Eve party. Which ended up just being us and my son and his Fiance. They only stayed about an hour or so, but it was nice. They came and ate some food and then left. They are gonna come back again and spend more time with us but they had a Pow-Wow to get to. My poor chihuahua ended up in our bed last night due to the gun shots and fireworks going off. She started scratching at our door and came in side and was trying to hide under our bed but I picked her up and put her in our bed and cuddled her until the noise stopped for the night. Then I put her on the floor and she went back to her bed to finish sleeping for the night. I am glad she came to us and didn't just shake scared all night. I love my pup. I completely did not think of giving her an anxiety pill because I usually do CBD oil for that but I gave it to a friend who's dog needed it for pain. So I will have to buy some more.

@HeevenleeRose - That is good that they have you on a preventative. I hope the doc can sort through all the hospital did and find the cause of the infection.
@TEXASTITCHER - That is what Joe and I did. Just once I would like to stay up and ring in the New Year with my husband.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Joe's Dad is definitely the "I don't need no doctor" generation. Joe is the same way. I think it depends on how you raise your kids. My kids won't go to the doctor unless they are dying. My daughter was working through appendicitis when her husband forced her to go to the ER. She ended up having emergency surgery and then she was back to work 4 days later cause she could not handle being home. She did go back with heavy restriction. She told me she though it was just severe period cramps cause she gets those sometimes. She was just going to power through until it stopped. I am so glad her husband made her go to the ER. He knew something was not right.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

Good afternoon, everyone! Happy new year. It's a cool day here today. My daughter says hello to all. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I did my strength training workout earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I went for a walk after lunch and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing later on. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.

I only put on a couple pounds over the holidays, which is better than it could have been! I'm officially back on the healthy dinners plan as of last Friday, but otherwise my eating has been whatever, whenever 😂 I will be back in my eating and exercise routine on Wednesday when I return to work.

I am very excited--I ordered a fitbit sense 2 just now. It was on a good sale, and I had christmas money. I'd been wanting an apple watch for the ecg feature, but it is an additional paid feature now, and since I'm not perfectly loyal to the apple ecosystem, the fitbit sense 2 (which includes the ecg feature) is perfect for me. And cheaper overall! I'm excited to get it and put it to good use.

Our home gym downstairs is finally back together after some waterproofing work, too, which opens up a lot more activities for me in my AM workouts, too.

@Kurtize, you did AMAZING!! WOW! So happy you are home now and can enjoy the area. It sounds nicely!!
@vexedangel678 WELCOME to the chat!!! I also prefer Fitbit over anything apple. LOL my friends tease me because MANY of them love apple, but I save $$$ etc. etc. etc. Hope you enjoyed the last day of vacation back to work on Weds. I MISS working and would go back in a heart beat if I could. I'd be very part time, I do not need the money, but I just enjoy dealing with customers. It was a large neighborhood grocery store. I've been in the area the majority of my life. It's a homey feeling. I hope work goes very well. NICE on the home gym!
@Tabatha_Cain NICE JOB on the sign up of having a gaol of doing 31 miles in January. That sounds pretty doable though at work you are pretty much limited on how much you can move around. Maybe at lunch? Or on a break? Oh I've been raving for SURE if a bullet hit my car, sadly those who shoot them off do not care. LOVE LOVE LOVE that you did the pre assignments! THEY DO make a difference. Here's my exercise for this week. The top 3 are Sat, Sun, Mon and so on below: ITs from the pre assgnment #4 (exercise) I decided to have fun and make a picture of it and it's on my home page of my phone. I am ALWAYS it seems on the phone.

@vexedangel678 What do you do for work? I am officially retired now. WOW! Those years went by SUPER FAST!! My favorite times at the store was before a blizzard (I live in Maine) or any storm we might lose electricity (LOL In the 90s I could not believe how many would RUSH in to rent videos!! Hehehehe no electricity LOLOL) or at holiday time.

Happy Wednesday.

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. The snow and rain was bad yesterday so I was not able to walk yesterday. I felt bad about it, but I really did not want to go out there and walk during that. Would not have been too terribly bad with just the wind, but with the rain/snow mix it was going to be bad. I think today I will try and see if I have a scarf I can use. I think I might. Not a heavy duty scarf but something that will help I hope. Yesterday at work I was so busy. I sold the Grand Canyon Package with airline tickets, and they are coming back Friday to figure out transportation from the airport to the hotel in a city about 35 minutes away. So I am hoping that we can find something.

@macrat12 - Good luck finding some shoes. Sometimes the specialty stores are quite expensive.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I don't really have warm gloves. They are just cheap knit gloves. I do need to get some good ones. I will have to look for a scarf or something. I think I might have a light weight one that will work temporarily. Thanks for the idea.

Well I hope you all have a great Thursday.

Hi all! Sorry for not being on here that much. I enjoy reading up on everyone's activities.
@Dianedoessmiles1 -lol you are funny! Are you gonna get pounded this weekend though? Our news comes out of NYC so they are saying rain/snow mix-but on their weather map-you can see i am in the 3-6 inches area. My younger one (L) has an audition for an honors band on Saturday morning. We are hoping they don't try to use the snow date the next day-b/c it's sunday and that will be after all the snow comes! aw i hope it's a great program for you. It does help me stay on mfp longer and try to be more focused on my goals. Plus the games/QOTD are fun.
@Tabatha_Cain -Congrats! So happy for you that you made your sales goals! Aw i am so sorry that people were doing gunshots and fireworks. It's scary for all our furry friends (and dangerous for humans -the gun shots). Our neighbors didn't do anything for new years- we were very grateful. Can you do indoor walking like in a living room? There are some decent walking videos on youtube (if that sounds good to you).
