Good morning all - just getting us started....

Good Morning!
No panic attack last night....and I didn't wake up once to use the bathroom. That is a good night's sleep for me.
Doggie is all clipped and clean....ready for Christmas. Now all that's left is gift wrapping, which is intense since I have a huge pile of gifts for the grandkids (didn't have to pay a penny for them, though....the ex foot the bill). Even the trash and recycling was put out. How efficient of me. 😁
Got a text from the SIL....needs desserts and veggies for Christmas dinner. So that is where the banana cake is going ...its in the freezer for now. And I will make mashed potatoes.
The maintenance guys were emptying out the apartment below me yesterday. The previous tenants left almost everything behind. Some nice furniture. I didn't envy those guys having to carry everything out of there, though. I figure the apartment won't be ready to rent until after the New Year, which is just fine with me.
I saw a pair of sneakers in DSW when I was out with my daughter about a week ago that I loved, but didn't get them because....well....cost. I decided yesterday to go back (since DSW is next to the groomers) and get them. They feel great and will be perfect for walking.
Weight is holding steady....that's not a bad thing at this time of year.
Till next time....

Good evening,
Sandy I hope your day got better. Panic attacks are exhausting.
Have ordered the goods to make a pot roast Saturday with the idea that enough can be frozen so that I can have some Christmas day.
Someone found a cat pouch like the one I am making online and it was $25. Gives me an idea about bartering or selling at church for charity.
The last 2 days I have gone to bed later than usual - computer stuff. As of now it is at least mostly fixed. No more neighbor in my apt that is final.
Tomorrow is Friday and it has been a long week.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

Good morning all~
Sandy - I'm glad that you got your sneakers. It's a purchase for your health!!
Sara - Yum! Pot roast sounds wonderful. You've got me thinking.....I should dust off that recipe and make one too!
Waves to all who stop by later on 🌴

Happy FriYAY!
@Tilliesmommy1 , thanks! I think the panic attacks have subsided for the moment, thank goodness....I slept well! And I got a lot of meal milage out of my last pot roast...they are great! Glad you got your computer almost back to normal, too.
Lana, thanks! I am glad I went back and got them, too....my old sneakers are OLD and they needed replacing.
Off to the Dollar Tree today for holiday wrap and bags and to the UPS store to do an Amazon return.
TTFN...and have a great day!

Good Morning!
Just finishing up my last assignment for my current class then will be officially halfway through the program. It’s been a challenging term. I’ve received 2 B’s this term. First time of the program so I’m a bit frustrated. I just hope I get an A- or A for the course.
Sandy- I hear you on the panic attacks they are not fun. Glad you got your sneakers! A good pair of shoes is a make it or break it for getting in exercise and comfort.
Sara - mmm pot roast I may find a recipe to make one. A few of my friends are making pot roast for Christmas dinner. It’s the perfect season for it. And that post does give you an idea for pricing yours. Don’t want to be undersold.
Lana - good morning! I think I’m going to make one too.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day! Going to get this paper done so I can relax!

Good Morning, Crew!
Thanks, Missy! And I hope you get your A's, too. I remember those days. 😁
I got all my shopping done. I got up and went out to the shopping plaza as they opened and finished up before the crowds and traffic poured in, which are huge triggers for me. Then stopped at Aldi and got the potatoes for Christmas dinner at my brother's. I got all but 3 gifts for the grandkids wrapped so will finish that up today. Then I can relax a little.
We got some snow! I hope it lasts so we have a white Christmas...we rarely have those anymore. But I forgot about the temps dropping and the snow froze on my car. Couldn't find my ice scraper so I got some off with a broom then started the car, got the heat going and melted some of it off that way.
Just had a big tossed salad for brunch. That will do me till dinner.
Hope your Saturday is a restful one!

Hello everybody~
Missy - so glad to hear that you are half way through the program. You've been working hard. Enjoy the time off. When do your studies resume?
Sandy - very smart of you to get out there early ahead of the crowds.
Waves to Sara and Maureen and whoever pops by today 👋🏻

Lana, you moved? Where?
Hi to all—I’m really working on adopting some lifestyle changes over the next few months. Being unable to exercise has made it clear I haven’t really altered my eating habits. I can eat lower cal for a while, but not stuff I want as part of the rest of my life. So there’s that.
I’m really thinking ahead to retirement in 4.5 years and putting in place things that will help over my remaining years. I’m 65 to anyone who doesn’t know. Anyway, flexibility and strength-training, as well as walking/hiking/jogging when both knees have been replaced.
And yeah, getting my home in order. I need to be ready if my daughter and her son (1 tomorrow) need to move in.
So, 1 piece at a time. Back to walking today after a 2 week break. That’s the easy part!

Good afternoon,
Before I start gabbing, I want to thank you all for helping me stay the same weight this year. It is also important to not GAIN weight and I have held my own. That is a victory I will take.
Sandy, Here in CA we dont get heavy frost, but I used a video rental card as my ice scraper (chosen because they irritated me). This was decades ago.
Frozen bread dough --okay its pizza dough on counter top. Not quite sure what it will become yet.
In case I get bear/hibernating - thinking of you all at Christmas and wishing you a healthy /happy time.
Missy - Yay! Halfway done is huge. Pat yourself on the back.
Lana - get out and enjoy the season - sing Christmas carols loudly around your neighborhood. I forget words so I make them up - I am old enough I can take the 5th and plead dementia!
Off to watch soccer and crochet.
Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.3 -

Good morning all~~
Maureen - I finally got the furniture moved out of my NYC apartment and into the Chapel Hill house.
Good for you for getting things in order.
Sara - Good for you on maintaining! I know that that is a very wonderful thing.
Not sure about caroling in my neighborhood, but I have been playing the holiday music (jazz versions are my favorite) 🎄
💦 Time to jump into the shower to do my grocery shopping early.
Waving to Sandy and Missy and all who pop by today 🌴
