    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and we are supposed to have a morning meeting and go over things for the week. I hope we do. I miss our huddles. Tomorrow I will be having Credit card training. That is going to help me work in pitching the credit card better. I mean it can only help right. I hope it does. I need help pitching the credit card. I struggle with that one.

    @imustloseit1 - So glad you got everything cleaned and in the correct spot. I imagine you will find something to do with your extra time. Definitely take some time off to relax. I am sure your cats loved all the boxes to jump into. That was nice of hubby to help you out.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I did get my walk in. I am pretty happy about that. I am feeling pretty good. Today is strength training. I am supposed to do that twice a week according to my weight loss doctor. It does make sense on the food. I can get what I want just only eat half of it.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.

    @Tabatha_Cain another option is to ask if you are old enough, and you may not yet be if they have senior portions. Often they are the items on the kids menu. Or ask if they have smaller sizes off menu and a reduced price.

    Good evening, everyone! It's a cool 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 run earlier this morning and I really enjoyed it. I did my strength training workout in the morning. 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.

    Well, my day off might be tomorrow, as it is Monday and that means hubby's laundry day, and this morning we are invited down to BIL and SIL for coffee, to visit with the other SIL who is coming to the area, and then back home to finish the 1st load of laundry, fix hubby dinner, and at 2 off to the grocery/drug store to get goceries and to pick up a prescript, and to get my 2nd shingle shot, and then home to get another load of laundry done this afternoon, then it was time to fix supper, and still have to fold hubby's towels and put them away. And that was just hubby's laundry, tomorrow I will do the rest. Women's work is never done, so I think a day off is not feesable. lol . And tonight that darn shingle shot has me in agony, this shot is really painful and I always have the shot in my bad arm as it pain me everyday anyway so a little more pain won't be notice, but this sshot has fooled me, so I am hoping tomorrow will be better. Well I better get at them towel, and then a few minutes of ME TIME before bed

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday and it is going to be a great day. Today I believe I have credit card training. I am hoping that it will actually help with some things. I mean it is hard to get a credit card when you cannot even get a membership. Plus we have to have a approved credit card. So not even an application. We have to get someone approved. So I am hoping that I get one or 2 of those soon.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I am not old enough. I am only 44 and to get the senior discount you have to be 65 now. It is crazy.
    @cormierannie - I hope you have a great day.
    @imustloseit1 - You did a lot. So sorry your shingles shot has you in so much pain. I do hope it is better today.

    Well I hope you all have a great Tuesday.

    Just a short note to say that the arm from the shingle shot yesterday is much better today. Just a little soar if I bumped it, but otherwise it is okay. I did take the day off, FINALLY, and then this afternoon hubby was all gunghoo to get started on putting a wood ceiling in our bedroom. Oh, no, I haven't recovered fron the last project and he is ready to start another big project. But he has promised that all I have to do is hold a board on one end while he nails the other end. Sounds easy, right, well we will see. We did this in the little hallway going upstairs, and it really looks great. You see we have that blasted Popcorn ceiling,and it is so dated. I know I will love this also when we get done. And I know it wont be as hard on us, as he it only going for one or 2 boards a day, as his back wont take all that working above his head. So here it the next project. Linda

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be a good day. I know it is. Yesterday was a great day. I am not sure why, but I am pretty sure I got 2 credit card apps, with 1 approved that I know of and I got 2 memberships yesterday. That is pretty interesting. I am hoping things will follow suite today and I will get more memberships and more credit cards. I think I am just going to ask everyone.

    @imustloseit1 - Glad you are feeling better. Sounds like a great idea to get the ceiling done. Sounds like you will enjoy it. It is nice that he only wants to do a couple of boards a day. That will be a nice slow pace for a new project.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

    How iseveryone this evening, I sure hope you are all getting some ME TIME. My Me Time was taking a nice long bubble bath with Epsom Salt, and a good book, and just remember S3 called and I told him I would call him back so I had better do that. We did get the first boards up in the bed room, and now the rest will go a little faster. But still just going to put one running board up a day, that will be just enough. All I really do is take a board and hold the the new board up there and he puts a couple nails in and then I am done, till the next one. So I really haven't done to much today. But I still am tired.

    @Imustloseit1, HI LInda, sometimes we just need a good old recovery time!! I am sure the ceiling will look AWESOME!! As I glance up, YUP that HORRID popcorn crap!! If I do not look UP I do not notice it. So I just do not look up!! But, I remember when it was so popular and how badly I liked it.

    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 am working on getting memberships today. Yesterday was a travel sales day. I sold a travel package to a couple and they are so happy about it. They did use their AAA credit card so I could not try and sell them one. Otherwise I would have tried. It is something I think is a good idea to get that money back.

    @imustloseit1 - Nice on the me time. I am hoping that the conversation with S3 was a good one. It does not sound like a lot of work, but it really is a lot. So enjoy your rest.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - That is exactly what I am going to do. I was able ready to send out a search party for you. I hope everything is alright.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

    Evening Airport Friends, I've been thing of this phrase for a while it's a lyric from a song from Smokey and the Bandit. We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there. Were going to do what they say can't be done.

    imustloseit1 Posts: 403 Member
    @macrat12 I love Smokey and the Bandit, that was when they actually made good movies.

    We did get the next set of board across the bedroom and couldn't go any furth as he has togo over and get some more boards. So it was a slow day here, I don't feel like a did anything, and it is pretty true. But whene I do work it is full bore ahead so I can take a doy off once in awhile. So no excitement here today.

    @Tabatha_Cain , GREAT JOB!! WOOHOO!! You are DOING THIS!!! LOL yeah I was so busy and not enough energy to go around. I'll hopefully in the next 4 or 5 weeks have the parathryoid surgery after that it'll take me 6 months to start to feel the majority of where I'll recover and by a year (maybe before that though) to be at the top of my game. I am so over being tired and having the body of an 85 year old when I am 20 years younger!
    @Kurtize, we are being "told snow" on Tuesday, I'll believe it when I see it! SO HAPPY you are feeling better H also. Two of my friends have it now, at the moment I am not hanging around them!! One of them lives alone so we went and got her stuff. they SPOIL ME ROTTEN it's nice to do it back!!
    @Imustloveit1 sounds good though to see you are both making progress and it's not so much in a day you are both exhausted. SURE when we were young it was ZIP/ZAP and DONE!!

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday. That is all I got today. It is Friday.

    @Kurtize - Wow snow. So glad you are feeling better. I know we will be getting a second winter. Happens every year.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - I get that feeling old. I wish I felt younger. I am over feeling beat up and down all the time. It is so exhausting faking happy all the time.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.

    @Tabatha_Cain , Tabatha it's so hard to pretend to be happy. Can you talk to a therapist for help? I used to be severely depressed, but I got help and TADA you see me today. I highly recommend it.
    @Kurtize, LOVE that cup of HC or coffee!! Life for the day!

    Good Evening Everyone!

    I have skimmed through all the messages. Prayers for those who need them.

    This week has been busy, stressful and ending good.

    To start I worked Sunday morning then in the afternoon had a viewing for an apartment. Buses didn't strike as they came to a tentative agreement. Voting will be this weekend. Worked on Monday. Early Tuesday morning woke up to a fire in a vacant building near us. Had Tuesday off and hung out with friends and filled out the apartment application. Went to TOPS Wednesday morning and was surprised to find I lost half a pound. Worked Wednesday night. Worked Thursday and had today off. I was in contact with the manager of the apartment all week working on trying to get it. Came down to needing a Cosigner which I had on the back burner. Sent the info to them today for the Cosigner and was accepted right away. Moving day is March 1st!!! Ex still has no clue. Also today got a new phone and running shoes. Now for all the packing with out tipping the ex off to much. Also the Boss cut me back to 20 hours next week. This means I only work 3 days next week unless we can get him to give me more time.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday and I am hoping for a good day. It is hopefully going to be a good weekend. I think it will be. It is Super Bowl weekend and to be fair I do not care about Super Bowl. However it is meaning things will be super busy and I am probably going to be super busy. I have picked up working DoorDash because Shipt is not working out as it is not giving me enough and to be frank I am tired of shopping other people's food orders and not getting any tips or getting a bad review because they decided not to respond to me so I did not substitute an item that they did not have in stock. So I am good with that.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Oh I did see a therapist and I am going back next week. I think we are starting off twice a month. She went over some things that we will be looking at, ADD, Anxiety, Childhood trauma, Depression, PTSD, Childhood sexual abuse trauma. Those are what she will be looking into as she gets to know me. I was told by one Psychologist that I was most likely Autistic, and so I have no idea what I have. Except I know I have anxiety and I know I have childhood trauma, and I know I have PTSD because several times I have been diagnosed that over the years of therapy. Also weird that when I left her office that night I had a memory pop up from when I was little and I have no memory of my childhood and my memory showed me I was in therapy at an early age like 6 or 7. When I asked my Mom she said she knew I was with my brother, but could not remember why I was in therapy, but remembered my brother was sent to therapy for inappropriate touching of girls at the age of 5 and then also nightmares. So who knows what was going on when we were kids. My sister was raped at the age of 9 by my Dad's best friend who lived with us at the time. So much horrible stuff happened when I was little.
    @imustloseit1 - Enjoy your me time.
    @CSEGUIN2 - Oh Wow. Congrats to getting the apartment. Good luck getting out and packing without the ex finding out. I am glad you had a cosigner in your back pocket.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

    @csequin2 I sure hope everything works out with your plan of moving out, it a big step and wish you the best. When I left the X, I left with the clothes on my back and my car. that was it, and was planning to stay in car, but son insisted I stay with them. I did, until I found an apartment. It's a very big step.
