Back in the pay booth today, yesterday was slow. I like it like that!
I didn’t take a picture of dinner yesterday as they FORGOT to give me a lunch break until I called the Ranger Superintendent at 1:30! My lunch is supposed to be at one, they never relieved me until 2, then at about 8pm last night, he called wanting us to go look for someone’s wallet while he was at LUNCH! As I’ve said in the past, this man does not belong in that position!!
Had steak with cheesy potatoes, cold beets with onions in oil and vinegar (beets were pickled), orange for dessert. Sargento Fast Break and a small plum for snack before late dinner. Pita with peanut butter, cream cheese and some watermelon for supper.

Good morning ladies!
Did the early morning shopping, not bad and not busy. Grabbed some things that had been out of stock and loaded up. Anymore, if I see it get it (maybe or three of them!) because it might not be there the next time I go in.
Rita - thanks for the links. Glad your stint at the booth will soon end.
I forgot to mention - in my diabetes prevention class last week, one fellow said he hadn't lost that much weight, and he was disappointed, BUT he just had his labs done and his A1C was down quite a bit and everything else had improved too. He has changed his diet a lot, cutting out meat (I assume red meat like burgers on the grill) but said he eats eggs and sometimes fish, otherwise plenty of veggies.
Barbie - hope Jake's condition improves and he'll be able to take over the wheel in what - 5 months? In the meantime, you get to re-hone your driving skills. I know you used to get time to yourself when he'd be off at appointments, so this is a change for you.
Heather - enjoy your visit with your old friend, it will be interesting to catch up with her after all these years.
Ginny - hope your brother is able to enjoy/understand the game. Yes, these stretches are very helpful. I wonder why that stretch the little gal did for sciatica with one leg back and leaning forward over the tucked leg works? Bob & Brad had some sciatica stretches recently and said they were "flossing the nerve" - that the large sciatic nerve sometimes gets hung up in the nerve tunnel. That makes sense. I saw some other stretches were the therapist said the fascia gets tight. Maybe it's that too. I do know a definite improvement, whatever it is. Very thankful for all this info we have access to.
Tracey - I liked what you posted about friends we've grown apart from. I was very close to my Seattle friend many years ago, and we slowly drifted apart. DH and I moved south to get the farm going, and she moved up to a small town near Canada. She wanted me to come visit, but the drive would have been impossible, plus I had too much going on down here. So other than Bday and Christmas cards, we didn't correspond. I misplaced her phone number, and would always tell her to email me when I'd send her a card, give my email, etc. I'd email her. Nothing. I thought maybe she never checked that email anymore, I have one like that. So when I got a Bday card from her a while back, she actually wrote in it "would love to hear from you." I'll give it another go. She is everywhere in this house. Pictures on the walls I bought when I was with her. Decorative bowls I picked up when shopping with her or at garage sales. A couple chairs she didn't want anymore are perfect in my living room. Miss her a lot.
Hope everyone is having a good day. Reminder to get your "check-in" info to me by tomorrow noon if participating. TIA!

Quiet day around these parts!
Got a nap in, which got me up to nearly 8 hours sleep, and it was irresistible, so obviously necessary.
Just finished 11 minutes on the elliptical, am sneaking back up on myself, as usual. No stress, nothing to see here, just do a minute more than you did last week. 🤔🤪😹 Hmmm.
That said - I am three pounds heavier than I was last month at this time, which is mildly annoying... but I'm five pounds lighter than I was mid-month, so there's that. We'll see how I end up for September...
My usual goals - be lighter, be healthier, stick to the budget.
The results are mixed. Nope to the "be lighter", probably yes to the "be healthier," and no way, Jose' to the thought of sticking to my budget. That's OK. We are sticking to the macro of paying five times the car payment and dropping the same amount into savings each month, and that works.
Same goals for October!
Later, y'all,
Love,

Well, I lost my log-in streak and I can’t reset it because the newsfeed is gone so I can’t scroll bsck to my last “congratulations……” post. I am just over it. I will start over.
I am still mentally and physically exhausted from the Friday night/all day Saturday workshop I just led. I love doing those things. It is my passion and my calling. But then I do need a few days to recover.
I love my high school reunions. I am still very close to many of my classmates. I have never attended a college reunion. There would be 4 different sets and I wasn’t close to the groups as a whole. I do keep in touch with one roommate. We have lunch about twice a year and keep up via Facebook. I kept up with one or two from my doctoral cohort for a while, but we’ve drifted apart.

Debbie - hope your mom's roomie is totally out of there. Finally! Is your mom going to be OK living by herself from here on out? You do go see her quite often and now can have a nice relaxed time with her. Hope you and your DH can find someone suitable for MIL.
Kim - happy to hear you've possibly run across some help with that medical insurance dilemma. Crossing fingers it gets straightened out and you can move forward with a better plan, and one you can afford. And without that dicey billing.
Lisa - that quillow is adorable. What a great idea - cute little raccoon. What's the material again?
Allie - gosh Tracey is only 2 weeks away! Your high school reunion looked like fun. My 50th was a few years ago, I didn't go but one of my classmates took a lot of photos and gave a "report", lol. So I got the scoop and didn't have to buy a plane ticket. Many of my classmates are FB friends so I keep up with them. I think the last one I attended was my 20th.

Did Karen Voit’s Firm Abs and Arms DVD then walked to Food Lion. Decided I needed more Asian Pears and the peaches were on sale ($1.29) so I got them in addition to a package of Gatorade for Vince. I didn’t know it, but I could have saved an extra $1 had I also gone to their kiosk. Well, live and learn….. Then to Aldi
Making yogurt for the IP. Afterwards, I plan to plant one more plant. That’s enough for now.
Tracey – oh, I can’t wait to go to that podiatrist. He HAS to do something, can’t be any worse than the other docs, that’s for sure. Another thing, ever since I had that procedure on my eye, I feel like an eyelash is in there. Tuesday I may call the office to see if this is normal.
Annie – so sorry to hear about Teddy. At least you know they're benign
Margaret – love that saying. Applies to anything
Planted the plant then went in the pool. It’s starting to drizzle so I’m running Hubble (robotic vacuum) in preparation for bringing in the Halloween and Christmas decorations tomorrow. Wonder how Vince will feel, he suggested it, but if it’s hot????
Lanette – I love to go shopping early Sunday morning. There are very few people there (most are in church) so you can get a lot done in no time
Off to make the bed, take a shower, then go to bed. Nite all.

I have never attended a high school reunion. I have been back to my undergraduate school a few times. I may go this year for a colloquium but haven't yet decided.
Got flu shot yesterday. Had made an appointment at a CVS minute clinic (I want to save the pharmacist from the work), got there Friday and it was closed-no staff. Pharmacy couldn't do walk-in so I made a an appointment for yesterday morning at Walgreens. Arm a bit sore but not bad. Main reaction this time is fatigue (I got the old people's super version) and a bit achy off and on and a headache. I napped quite a bit but did get a 2 mile walk in between.
Good visit with family yesterday. Brother with Alzheimer's actually focused fairly well for the first half-then he was tired and needed to go home. We all ate and visited. Other brother and wife stayed for end of game.
Today would have been my husbands 71st birthday.
Going to get ready to head off to bed. I think if I get a solid bit of sleep tonight I can be productive tomorrow/1
Take care all,

These jerseys represent $1000 (need to raise $1000 to earn a jersey), there are 10 or 11 forgot to count them. Gotta be proud of that

Hello all
I was a lump on a log today.. didnt get a blessed thing done today.. there's always tomorrow..
My internet keeps going out will have to call Verizon and find out whats going on.
Good night all will catch up in the morning.3 -
Heather - So glad that John has a friend. Rodger doesn’t seem to have any anymore. We want to have a surprise party for his 60th but don’t know who to invite.
He actually spoke to his best high school friend yesterday and he may stop in later this month.
Reunions - I never graduated in the traditional manner so no reunions for me. Rodger attended 2 of his, his 10th and 20th he really enjoyed the 10th.
Every time I go home I see a lot of old school friends though.
Lisa - I love the quillow! I hope they sell for you.
Glad your friends Dad is home, hopefully he can be cared for easy enough.
We live near the airport so planes take off and land all day. A plane just flew directly in front of the sun and caused a shadow in the house, what a strange feeling. The sun was just rising at the perfect time.
Margaret - Which State is that? I showed the butter carving to DH. He started telling me about an event in Toronto he went to as a kid. He doesn’t tell stories often so it was nice.
Debbie - I hope your Mom’s roomie left with no issues.
I went to pick Lauryn and the Grands up and we went to Kaitlyn’s today. She did Jonah and Michaela’s hair.
Michaela got cyan streaks and tips along with a little trim. Jonah had a complete change!
Tomorrow is some crafty stuff.

I don’t understand how MFP loads the pictures, it’s certainly not the order I select.3

When people say they cut out meat, they might mean one of the top 8 on this chart. And meat, in the 9th choice, includes everything not including poultry and fish.

Or here's another grouping ... and meat here would again be everything but poultry and fish.
