@Sweetpeasmom55, OH YO!! On the fumes!! UGH and the window. LOLOL I DID LAUGH TO HARD at not being able to lock H in a room like you can the cat!! I could picture that!! Please be careful around the fumes. Oh my GD Has MANY reptiles I'm going to be going up for an overnighter because my oldest GGS really wants me to stay overnight.
@Patti241 Today I went to Bug Light where we ate lunch, and watched the boats out in the harbor. I lost my elastic, the wind was very strong so I got creative and used my lancet for my keys to hold my hair back!

@Tabatha_Cain fibro goes around in flares. It'll rear its ugly head up, calm down, and come around again. As you learn to stretch more and get acupuncture when you start to feel tired more than normal or know the signs, you'll be able to deal with it better.

@Tabatha_Cain it’s hard realising that blah years ago you could run a marathon, then climb a mountain before you stopped for lunch and now sometimes lunchtime is here before you think about getting out of bed.
You get used to it, honest. Set yourself a goal for the day and take off the last job before you start out.
Now start the job and have regular breaks and when the body starts objecting STOP
Like I did yesterday. There’s about 1/6th still to do. And never before would I have left it like that. But no I’m not a teenager anymore

@Tabatha_Cain do you keep a pain journal? In our area, they offer a pain clinic on how to live with chronic pain. I am not sure if you have such. It helped me so much with housework etc. I learned a balance and to check in with my body and where is it at. On a good day to NOT overdo it.
@nansbones7708 , its amazing you can do that!! The earth looks rich in nutrients. Is it?
@Patti241 THANKS!! Hehehehe I thought it was!! And it even WORKED!! LOL!!

Today is a slower day, but tomorrow I FINALLY see the heart specialist!! Oh, I HOPE He listens and works on this for me! or with me!!

Well up and out the door to be at the pool by 6:20. Today I have off to run my parents to some Dr appointments. What I figured I need to be at the pool at 6 and out by 7. To make it to work on time. I got this I can make this work.

Sink project is coming along very well. It's probably on coat number 18. It's not an easy job in between coats is sanding. I'm very pleased with it and the cost is 25. If it had been a larger sink it definitely would be more cans and I wouldn't dream of doing a tub. If the pictures show up this is before I started. Taking out everything and the picture with blue tape is after the heavy duty cleaners and sanding. Once it's completed I will take the last picture.

Time for me to get over to my parents. Have a great day everyone!!

Good morning everyone.

@nansbones7708 That's quite the workout!! WOW!! Nicely done.
@SweetPeasMom55, Did you get to the pool and the appointments on time? WOW!! I love to see your before and after pics!!! If you downloaded the pictures to your device, the little picture up above (I can't do it on my phone, I can do it on my computer and tablet though) looks like a sun and mountain click on that, please. Find the picture you want (you can only do 1 at a time, but can put the others underneath we can put as many pics into a post as we wish), and TADA!
@Tabatha_Cain , oh my yes!! Fatigue is a part of it along with brain fog. Did Joe do anything for you today? Maybe there's something planned for the weekend.
@Patti241, did you enjoy the day?
@Kurtize, We hope your day was PAWSOME!!!

Good morning

@Tabatha_Cain, Oh hon!! I am so sorry!!! WOW!! That's not a warm feeling. Hopefully when you can handle doing so to be calm enough (LOL I have a temper and need to calm down ahead of time, Oh I KNOW ME!! It takes a LOT to upset me, but still) to let him know how it felt to you.
@Patti241, I thought of you today when I stood outside enjoying the wind and sun. So strange how I have to force myself to go outside just to enjoy it. Hopefully I'll start to feel better now that the heart specialist is onboard.
@SweetPeasMom55 Below is how to post to a feed/thread.


We'd LOVE to see the pictures!
I also am NOT a fruit, but also NOT a veggie person. Hehehehe!!! I'll still do this to the best of my own ability. BUT if it's upsetting just do the best you can, please do not do anything that'll make you go NOOOOOOOO!!! If it's just a "Well, I don't like many, but I am willing to eat 1 or 2 a day" (Fruits) that's fine. We do not expect perfection, we can progress over time.

Today at work they paved the parking lot where we are going to be. Looks like some time next week we will be next door.
I made hubby call and have the furnace looked at. Yep our 25 year old furnace is on its last leg. The guy said furnaces usually only last 10 years. Well quite frankly they should last 25-30 years. As the noises are bad lets get it fixed so we don't loose heat this winter.

My daughter was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Yep lets call Mom and give her a guilt trip. I wasn't diagnosed with it till after I had her.I wouldn't intentionally pass it on to her. I have it but nobody else in our family does. I know she's frustrated but I hate the guilt trips.

HR finally spoke to me. Exactly 11 weeks since I applied for the position to say that position is on the back burner for now. They have to fill 3 upper positions first. I said as soon as I heard about the mass exit I knew. This new HR guy is so wimpy have a back bone and just inform people. If you can't speak to me and I'm pretty mellow that's just sad. Probably next year some time. Yes it's a position I would like but if something else comes up I just may apply for that. Maybe I will love the new building and will be content in the job I have. Who knows maybe I can get the girls to agree on set schedules.

Presently they are all miserable about the move. I'm hoping for the best and blocking out their doom and gloom. They are thinking about staging a group walk out.🙄 They can do whatever I am not walking out. I like my job and it's A mile from my house. I am in that last 10 year stretch to retirement and I am enjoying myself. I'm confident enough in myself I won't be swayed into their revolt. I really don't think they realize how good they have it.

@Dianedoessmiles1 thanks for the step by step. I think it's our slow internet that causes me trouble. Finally got up in the middle of the night to give it a try.

@Tabatha_Cain I don't think it was bad you vented to your son. It lets your kids know that it hurts not to be acknowledged. Your husband is probably just having a moment. He probably figured he had this perfect image of himself and son. When son ripped into him that image got tarnished. Men have a way of sulking that makes us feel to blame. My husband had this moment where he said "The house is F-ing mine if we get divorced! Now old Sue would have walked away. I said Oh that's just fine but everything I paid for is going with me. Which is every door, all the plumbing was replaced and electric. I said Yes I am that vengeful that I would destroy this house. He never ever brought it up again. The thing was we weren't in a bad place he was venting over someone at work who was getting divorced and informing me not expecting me to fight back. It took him a day to tell me where his proclamation came from. But the shock of me fighting back took weeks for him to get over. Have faith and just be you.

It's dress down Fri at work and for a fee you can dress down for charity.🙄 Here's the kicker the donation isn't from the employees at xyz. It's just from xyz. Nope I don't dress down. Have a great day everyone!!

Diane: Hope you feel better.

@Sweetpeasmom55, WOW That is AMAZING!! I am beyond impressed!! Did you figure out roughly by doing the work yourself how much you saved? WOW!! It looks brand new!
I agree furnaces are a huge expense and we wish they lasted as much they should. At times an old fashion fire place seems attractive until we remember getting the wood, chopping the wood, and bringing it in when the snow is up to our elbows, it'll need to be warmed up some (though I've seen it thrown in with snow and ice on it, that did scare me!). With D, I get what she thinks (I have the genetic cesspool for the family. LOL they appreciate it) but no parent knows ahead of the future. The alternative is your D was born, fibro though painful is livable. Speaking from experience, actually, I rarely think of mine since the heart and kidney stuff overtakes all of that. My Dad felt guilty over all I was going through when I said to him "Dad, if you didn't have me, I'd not know the beauty of life." He still "felt bad" but WHY? What he passed down, our family has passed down for generations. My parents also gave me some really COOL GENES!! I am grateful. Maybe if D looked at that part, she and you would feel better. I have a TON of freckles I hated as a kid, but now I LOVE them. They are a part of my heritage. My Mom and Dad are gone, but when I see my arms, I think of them. I look like them. I love them. My computer is older, so instead of using it on the wifi part, I hard wired it (I got a long ethernet cord, plugged it into the wifi tower, and dragged it all around the
outer edge of the room up to where my favorite spot is.
@Tabatha_Cain , If you apologize to Joe that should be good. I've vented to others about someone in order to handle my negative feelings better. Once I explain "I didn't want to hurt you, once i talked it out, it reminded me how much I love and adore you. I am sorry, would you rather I not do that with so and so?" it blows over. Joe also no doubt feels horrible he forgot and is struggling. Keep those lines of communication OPEN with love. Well, that's what is what I would do.
@Hicim705 I enjoyed your blogs! TY TY TY I did leave a comment.
@Kurtize, WOOHOO the WEEKEND!!! FOr me NO Dr. appointments!! I am into that!

@nansbones7708 That's perfect I like those items. I'm taking my mom out shopping today and hubby already said do not buy large quantities of fruit you won't eat it! His exact words "Wifey don't do it! You get plain old miserable when you see fruit on your plate."

Good Morning Airport VIP Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday. Joe and I got to sleep in. Joe was up at 3 am. He recent phase of getting up then. I got up at like 7 am. So I actually slept in 2 hours. Which is awesome. Today Joe and I are going to Gull Meadow Farms. It is near us and they have a Hay wagon ride, a corn maze, and they cell apple cider and donuts in their store. We are going to go do the corn maze. We are so excited. A co worker gave us the tickets because they were unable to go. So it will be fun to go do together. I have honestly never done a corn maze. So this will be all new to me and we will be taking lots of photos.

@SweetPeasMom55 - Thank you. It is better now. I just explained that he knew Quality time was my love language and when he ignored my birthday and spending time with me that hurt and I was really hurt by it. It had nothing to do with things or presents. It was the time I wanted. So he did apologize. He brought me flowers and chocolate anyways. That is pretty awesome that you stood up to your husband like that. We are getting better at communicating and doing our thing. We have only been married since 2023. So it is still a learning process.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes we are keeping the lines of communication open. We are doing well now. We talked and I explained my side so we are good.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

Tabatha

Good Morning VIP Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and oh boy is my body sore. That corn maze was amazing. I had a 50 minute video and we did not even complete the maze at that time. I literally just stopped filming because my arms were tired. They had 6 different punch machines in the maze and you got a special prize if you got all 6 punches on your card. We left with 5. My right hip hurting and Joe's calves were cramping from walking so much. 12,705 steps for the day. So we ended with 5 punches and were completely happy about it. What was also good we bundled up as the weather was 56 F and sunny outside and rode the motorcycle to the farm with the corn maze. It was awesome. We had so much fun for our date day, and it was totally free. A co-worker at work at extra corn maze tickets and gave them to Joe. So we only had to spend the gas in the motorcycle to get there. So awesome. Here is the map of the corn maze. You can see where we have some punches. It was so much fun.



@Dianedoessmiles1 - What is the size of the small yogurt container. Every store has a different size. I wanna get one as close to yours as possible. I would love to start adding that to my meals. That is awesome being able to go out with your friends. Joe and I were talking about that just yesterday. We have no friends. All our friends live far away and have lives so it is hard to get to see them. Like Joe's best friend lives in Hamilton and that is 2 hours away, his other best friend moved to North Carolina. So that is definitely a long ways away. I just don't have friends. My autism makes it hard for me to make really good friends. I always end up drifting from them as they stop wanting to hang with me after a while. They just don't want to be around me after a while. I attribute it to my Autism.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.
