    Hi ladies! I'm back! Woot! Lots of junk food and stress eating over the past week. :( I've got some unpacking and housework to catch up on, will try to catch up with y'all soon. Take care and stay cool! B)

    I saw the invite and accepted! Thanks so much, I really need this. Not sure how many steps I'll get today as we're under a heat advisory. :o But I will try!

    So I'm in NY again. We got word Wednesday that my MIL didn't have much time left so we drove up on Thursday. Just in time as she passed peacefully yesterday morning. We are driving home tomorrow and then returning later in the week for the service. All this travel and stress the last 6 weeks is wreaking havoc on my eating and exercising. And there is no end in sight. The construction on the damage to our retirement house will go on for months and now they're trying to work out a plan to have people stay with my FIL in NY. There's going to be a lot of miles put on our cars in the next few months.

    No response required, just general venting this morning. I hope y'all have a wonderful day. 💕

    @therealbluenote Go Nancy! Go Nancy! 📣👏 Glad you are up and about and making progress!

    I'm back in Buffalo again (yippee) and tired as I am of being here, I am enjoying the 75 degrees and sunny as opposed to the 102 with 90% humidity that we've had back home.🥵

    Have a great Saturday everyone! 🌞

    @Tomsgal1985 YAY! Good to see you still here! I'm still trying to get back in the swing, it's been a rough month and it's taking me a while to find my groove. :/

    @therealbluenote no, thank God, we came back on Sunday. But 3 trips there and back in July is way too much! We're both physically and emotionally exhausted.

    In VA today to check on the house and celebrate mine and grandson #2s birthdays. 🥳 After we get home tomorrow I am putting away my suitcase and reclaiming my life. I've gained 10 pounds since the beginning of June with all of the stress, travel, lack of exercise, eating and drinking. Still gonna have a birthday 🧁 today though. 🙃

    I'm glad you posted because I was going to poke you to check on you. 🙂 I'm sorry about the acid reflux, but I do see light at the end of the tunnel and it's not a train! 😂 How are you doing otherwise? Have you been getting exercise/steps? Any non-scale victories to share? You're probably getting ready for back to school already, geez did that go by fast!!

    @DaffyGirl88 happy birthday!!! Enjoy it and get back into your groove! Traveling can be such a hindrance to routines that we've worked so hard to create!

    @therealbluenote congratulations on all your success! You're doing fabulous! Hopefully the reflux subsides!

    Nice loss, Nancy! Praying for you! I know it sounds counterintuitive, but have you tried apple cider vinegar? I dilute it in water, but my son takes it straight and says it feels like aloe vera on a sunburn. I know you’re under a doctor’s care, so I would check with them first. Just thought I’d mention it 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Well, I've decided to get off the Struggle Bus at the next stop. So far I've got two solid days under my belt. :D

    My surgeon said no apple cider vinegar because it is too acidic and with my stomach being a newborn it just would not handle it well. I put in the newborn, but you get the idea. 😆

    I don’t remember if I told you guys or not, but I was diagnosed with skin cancer. My Mohs procedure is scheduled for next Thursday. Of course that is the first day back to school. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    @therealbluenote :o If you did tell us I missed it! Of course I was gone most of July so anything's possible. You just can't catch a break here, I hope the surgery goes well. No one does anything on the first day of school anyway. :p Oh wait, that's the STUDENTS, you're a teacher. Sorry. LOL

    And who starts school on a THURSDAY anyway?? The week is over already.
