@Tabatha_Cain , congratulations on raising as much as you did. I'm tired so I'm keeping it brief tonight.
@Kurtize, waving!
@imustloseit1 , You're working so hard I bet it's beautiful. That shelf sounds wonderful. Sometimes we have to take time off and keep them working so hard it's okay. Glad you got to rest.

Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit to those who are reading this to bring luck for a new month.

@Tabatha_Cain , When you talk on the phone do you smile? It carries through even though the client can't see it. I wish you the BEST on cards, travel, and memberships!! I DID Sleep AMAZING last night hour wise, a few nightmares which happens from time to time, but it'll drop again.
@Kurtize that walk looks AMAZING to me!! WTG!!

Finally Friday, and look back on the week and I would say it has been a successful one. Now next week my goal is to finish putting the things all back in the dining room and the huge closet. That will take a couple days at least to get it all figured out and put away. It is racking my brain on what I want to keep in the china hutch and what to find a new place for them.. I know there is a lot of things that really don't belong in there, but it turned into a place to put something that really didn't fit anywhere else. Well, that is going to stop right here, and only things that should be in a china hutch is going back in. I hope anyway.
@macrat12 I do like the quote about change, that is so true, and I need to give it is thought. Serious thoughts.

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday and I am probably going to be a grouch today. No coffee today and no food until I get my bloodwork done after 8 am. So since it will be so late I won't get any coffee and will have to deal with a caffeine headache. So I am probably going to be really rude today, and not want to deal with the public. Which I have to go grocery shopping today and I have to deal with Joe today who is going to get on my nerves without coffee. I can see it happening.

@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yeah she did not answer the phone. I do understand people will say what they think you want to hear. What I really want is just to be told the truth. If you are not interested then say so.
@imustloseit1 - You are doing amazing. I need to do that for a couple areas of my house. So we will see how that goes here at home.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

Hi all happy Saturday. Happy with my weight loss. Finally out of 190's hopping to stay out.

I received my first post card on my Dublin walk. Here is link. I like the way things are described because I know I will never go to these places in real life.

Good Evening Everyone!

Have read through all the posts the best I could. Hugs and prayers to those who need them.

This week has been a busy and trying one. Monday I started training a new employee who is a very quick learner on my team for carbs when packing. Tuesday was prep day and it went as normal as usual. Wednesday was TOPS and gained 2 lbs. Also went into work and that was stressful as we were short 1 person and my friend was sick so she wasn't able to do the amount she normally does. We missed cooking a few things and the boss even cut out some of the things that needed to be cooked. Thursday was pack day my team was on a roll and on top of our game. That's when we discovered we missed cooking what we missed the night before. We still managed to get the packing done at a reasonable hour. Yesterday I had a busy day of groceries and then helping a friend. Reconfirmed my ride for if the buses strike as it's still a possibility on Monday. Yesterday and today the boss has been sending messages of meal complaints out to everyone. Thank goodness none of the complaints have anything to do with my team. Today I did dishes, laundry confirmed my ride for tomorrow's early morning shift with the boss, made dinner and did some reading. The ex spent the day sleeping while I did all his chores and then had an attitude all night. Yesterday while at my friend's I did some apartment searching and requested a viewing for one. It's a little out of the area I want but the price is right.

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and Joe and I are heading into church in person. This is going to be a good day. I cannot wait to see what we have going on today. I am super excited. We are going to get some walking in and I think that it is going to be fun. I am going to wreck my diet today. I know that because we are going to be eating out so we can get some exercise in after church. Also church gets out at 12 and it is an hour back home. We usually end up getting super hungry by the end of church. I was thinking of packing lunches but I am not sure we could keep them cold enough. That might be a problem. I am not sure if we should try or not worry about it and just eat out. I am not sure. Ugh the dilemma about this. I want to lose weight and if I eat out I am definitely going to gain weight. I just think it is not fair how this works. I know I am not supposed to compare between Joe and I but it just seems so easy for him to lose weight. It is not fair.

@Dianedoessmiles1 - I don't know that it would necessarily help with them changing anything. I went over the pricing and the benefits. So she new how much the cost was and everything I hid nothing, and she seemed to get it. I will try to call again next week. One more call and then I will dismiss it as a bad lead. I did do well without the caffeine. I substituted with a tiny bit of pop. So like maybe 2 or 3 ounces of pepsi. My test went well. She only requested my potassium level since it was low last time. Now it is in the normal range. Barely normal, but it is normal. It definitely sounds like you were peopled out.
@Kurtize - I am glad you got a new postcard from Dublin. I cannot wait to read about it.
@CSEGUIN2 - I hate when my work is short staffed. So much more work to do for less people. So glad you got no complaints on your food. It is nice to confirm your rides just in case. I think as long as that apartment looks right and you can get to work, then it should be a good option for you to move into.
@imustloseit1 - Sounds like you are busting out moves left and right. You are getting a lot accomplished. I am glad you had someone to help, and also glad you know when to relax.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

The dining room is DONE. I got everything I wanted back in the China Hutch. Everything is was washed and it is sparkling, and it feels great to have it all done. Very grateful that we have that 3 season patio, or I don't know where a lot of this stuff would have gone while waiting for the floor to get done. So gratefull that son was able to do it. And all the boxes everything was stored in are all in the shop area to be burnt later. Now I don't know what I will be doing with my time. hahaha, I think I will be taking a day off tomorrow and just recoopernate, been going 90 MPH this last 10 days, now just to sit back and enjoy all my hard work. I think Shortey and Kinney Girl will also be glad to have a day without all the hubbub going on around here. lol I have left their beds along, so they have a welcoming place to go. But it was entertaining for them with all the boxes to try out. lol Hubby also helped today putting stuff on the high areas, and carring in the heavy boxes, that really helped. So the rest of this evening I am just going to watch a movie and relax. And enjoy some ME TIME. Hope you enjoy so ME TIME also. Linda
