Good Morning, Crew!
Not a good night....was one of those panic attack nights. Kept waking up with them. Its frightening and annoying at the same time.
I gotta get more serious. I have been sliding. I want to get under 170 before the spring....its doable.
Oh....and my snail is ALIVE!! it was just sleeping a loooong time. 😴
Have a good Saturday, everyone!

Good morning everyone~
I am out in Redwood City, CA visiting my sister for ten nights. I arrived the day before yesterday.
Tomorrow we are heading down to Santa Barbara.
We have been busy, so I may forget to post regularly.
I need to read back a couple of days - everyone enjoy your Sunday and be well.

Good Evening/Morning!
A quick post before I turn in. Forgot to post earlier and then football. EAGLES NFC CHAMPS!
Lana, enjoy your visit with your sis! I wish mine was still with us....I still miss her after so many years.
Till tomorrow...

Good morning 🌸
Sandy - Congrats on your team winning!
I am barely awake. We are up early to get ready to drive from Redwood City down to Santa Barbara today.
*waving at Cabana Boy for a coffee refill 🌴*
Have a decent day Y'all!

Oh my. Enjoying my visit from daughter and grandson and zero logging. Surgery in 15 days and I’ll be off pace for a bit longer.
But I’m having such fun! Grandbaby is so engaging. Horrible sleeper though!

Good Evening!
@mkculs13 , awww....he's a cutie! Enjoy the visit!
Thanks, Lana....hoping we can unseat KC in the SB!
Not much happening today except took my doggie to the vet for yearly exam....$200 . I am fortunate he is a healthy pup.
Got a doorbell cam....I really like it. Had to do some adjusting...it would go off every time my garden flag waved in the breeze...LOL! But it's set right now. Being on the second floor, I like knowing more of what is going on around me.
Have a great night, peeps!

Good Afternoon....hope you are having a nice day!
The doggie got his check-up yesterday and his yearly shots, so he is good to go.
Thought I overate the spaghetti last night but I guess not.
Need to do a few things around the apartment today. Good day to put on some music and get moving...seems the new downstairs tenants both work all day. I have seen them on my new door cam, but the guy is the only one that I can make out...the girl is always covered up from head to toe. But there are no kids for the moment, which I am grateful for, so no noise. Maybe I lucked out. 😁
Till l8tr...

Just popping in the say Hi!
Maureen - How great that you are having a visit with your family 😁!
Sandy - Your talk of doorbell cam is giving me a nudge to get something going at my place~
Waving to Sara and Missy and all who pop by later on 👋🏻
Lana2 -
Howdy, all!
Lana, I am glad I got the camera....its great. I not a busy body in any way, but I like being more aware of my surroundings.
It's SO windy out! I did brave it to try to get my nails done but I forgot about Lunar New Year...they were closed. Will try again tomorrow.
I am a bit off of food today....not sure why.
My daughter got me a bird feeder with a camera for Christmas. I tried putting it up today, but the wind was blowing the pole down so I has to bring it in. You see, the ground is frozen and I could only push the pole in the ground part way. So I will either have to try and hammer it in or wait till the ground softens up....grrrrr.
Anyway, until tomorrow....

Good evening,
Lana - enjoy your trip it is a nice one.
Got my first gift card from the company wellness program and purchased an instapot. I have been thinking of my father's pork chop/sauerkraut with raisins, and potato dinner. Have to have a pressure cooker. Online sale made it hard to pass up.
Most of but not all of my food choices have been stellar. I still get my goal in steps. Call it a negotiation in progress.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
*** January 30 ***
Good morning all~~
Sandy - spring will be here soon enough for you to engineer your new bird feeder~ 🐦🔥
Sara - I am very interested to hear about how you come to like your instapot for various things. I don't have one, but I think I'd like to have one. There are too many choices out there, and I gave up looking for one.
Yesterday Donna and I walked a total of a little over a mile to and from where we had dinner. My poor body has gone downhill. Only a few years ago, during covid, I was walking 3 miles on a walk.
I am inspired to try to build up more capability once I get back home.
Thank goodness spring comes early to North Carolina, and I can get out there.
Have a great day Y'all~
Lana0 -
Good Afternoon, comrades!
Lana hey, a mile is nothing to sneeze at in this crazy weather. For the moment I am having to count on calorie deficits to move the scale. And I hope you are right about spring....but I am hoping the rain tomorrow helps loosen up the soil a little....and temps are supposed to stay above freezing for awhile.
Sara, I wish I had a kitchen that was big enough to hold things like an Instapot. Enjoy that dinner!
The neighbors downstairs got a large box delivered....furniture. I would try to get it inside into the entryway, but it's to big and heavy. I hope no one will bother with it.
Getting ready to go get my nails done. To all who come by, have a nice day!

Wow - January is just about gone! Good.
My sister and I will be driving north back to the Bay Area, into some rain, they say. Rain is good.
So today is Friday, and that means a happy hour party for us at our virtual Cabana Club 🌴. Sara will be signing off on the DJ's playlists. ✅
Wishing everyone a very good day today.
Lana1 -
Good Morning!
Slept well and that's a plus for me. After a day of rain, the sun is out today. The ground thawed a bit so I was able to get the pole for the bird feeder securely in the ground and screw the feeder back on the pole. And I want to see if the solar panel for the feeder camera keeps the camera charged....that will be great!
No real plans for the day. The plane crash in Philly is going to dominate the news today. Can you imagine ...a child leaving Shriners Hospital to go home with their mother only to die in the plane that's flying you home? The whole thing is horrible. 😞
Till tomorrow....

Good morning Sandy~
Yes, what you said about that poor family coming from Shriners..... Awful.
As for the groundhog.... I hope that he is incorrect. I am so looking forward to springtime.
No matter what though, the days will slowly be getting longer. Yay~

Hi all. Just checking in— packing up my daughter and grandson for tomorrow’s departure. And readying my house for a new cleaner. My last company didn’t move anything. I did today and found so much dirt. I’m so mad. But it will be ok. I made it possible for them to do more by moving out a ton of furniture in to the garage, lots of tables and lamps. Most of that won’t come back in. I’ll. Sell it or dump it.
Anyway, feeling hopeful about my surgery in 10 days and getting back to my “normal” by this time next year. I really want to jog again.
TTFN. Take care.
Maureen2 -
Good Afternoon!
Maureen, hope you have better luck with your new cleaners.
Just about to get some lunch....didn't have breakfast.
I can't help worrying about the future. My anxiety is on overdrive. But I am not going to use that as an excuse to eat and go backwards. Something positive has to come out of the future and if it's my weight loss, that's definitely a positive.
TTFN...

Hi Everyone~~
Just saying Hey.
I'm waiting at the airport. It will be a long travel day, but I did have such a good visit with my sister. It's worth the long trek.
Sandy, I hear you. I keep reminding myself to stay in the present moment.
Waves to Sara and Missy and Maureen and everyone who pops by today 💗
Lana2 -
Howdy, Crew!
I have been trying to crochet a hooded scarf for my granddaughter, but the boucle yarn is maddening! I do a few rows and I have to stop. And I have been crocheting for decades. Boucle is much easier to knit. But I will keep at it.
Made a salmon salad sandwich for lunch. I haven't had any bread in over a week since I tend to avoid it for the carbs. But once in awhile I indulge.
Lana, hope you had a safe trip home.
Till next time...

Good Morning!
Got an invite to a Super Bowl party on Sunday. I kinda NEED a party right now. Was asked to make my 7 Layer Dip, which is a bit labor intensive but I am going to try. It IS a nice appetizer. Not going out today, though with the ice situation to get the ingredients. Will have to wait till tomorrow. I think I can get everything I need at Aldi....at least I hope so.
The double dose of Metformin is doing a bit of a number on my stomach but its not so bad I can't handle it. It is helping with my digestion and blood sugar and that is good.
Hope everyone is well!
Sandy
TMW - 1751 -
Hey there Sandy~~
I hope that things go well for getting your ingredients when you can get out there safely.
I think that we could all use a party right about now!

Good Morning!
Lana, you are right. I think the whole country needs a party.
Another storm is coming, although not so much snow. But Tuesday another storm is coming with snow. And another one after that. If I were 10 years old again, I would be jumping up and down. But since I don't go to school or do any sledding now, I'm just waiting for March. 😁
Will be heading out soon to the grocery store. Hope it's not crowded.
Enjoy the start of the weekend!

Good morning oops afternoon,
Yesterday I had the day off, it was time and I needed one. I got a facial - imagine this- I fell off the table trying to get my head in the head resting place (it told me this table DID have a weight limit). Luckily for me I am doing okay - only I could do that....
Today I went to a cheap store - got stuff for food pantry . Eggs are no longer in the price range to give out and the number of cars lining up to get food is growing. I am also having to change my food list for myself - not necessarily a bad thing.
I am supposed to get a lot of steps in today. I am also wanting a nap. So nap first and then walk.
I have enough meals in freezer to leave cooking alone this weekend. I read a murder mystery yesterday and it has been so long.
I have 4 cat sleeping bags (for them to sleep in) to possibly sell tomorrow at the Church to raise money for the new stove/ovens. Will clean up one of the 3 crock pots I have in my house (the shell) to take to church as well. So I better get that nap started so I can tackle the must do list.
Wishing all a good day. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
*** February 9 ***
Good morning all~
Yikes Sara - that is scary about falling off of that table--glad that you are OK. They shouldn't be using some rickety portable table in their salon. Harrumph!
I hope that the church brings in plenty of money towards their new stove~
Sandy - how are you doing up there in the north east? I see that quite a lot was predicted. Stay safe!
I am busy getting ready to go down to Tampa tomorrow for a low-budget getaway 🛳️.
I'm not paying extra for internet, so I may not get here very often.
Waves to Missy and Maureen and everyone else who pops by later on~
Lana

Happy SuperBowl Sunday!
Glad you are OK, Sara! Wow....
Lana, so far, so good. The storm we expected was a bust, which is just fine. But Tuesday they are talking about 6 inches....bleah! Will be putting the cover on my car tomorrow in preparation. I am ok on food....I can't be one of those people who runs to the grocery store when there is a threat of snow.
SuperBowl party today. Did most of the prep for the 7 layer dip last night, so that was helpful. The hard part is chopping the tomatoes (I don't have a chopper) by hand and then blotting as much moisture out of them as possible because if you don't, the dip becomes a soupy mess very quickly. Takes nearly a whole roll of paper towels to do it, too. But it's done. And I chopped the lettuce, too. Will put the whole thing together later this afternoon.
Have a nice day, everyone!
Sandy

Sara, Sandy, Lana, Missy, and anyone else--hi. I've been so off pace. I started walking again yesterday after a several week hiatus. I thought I'd have my knee replaced 2/12 but it got canceled due to a late blood test not arriving to the surgical center in time. I'm very frustrated, but trying to move on. Walking yesterday and today felt so good again, so good is coming from it.
Every evening I get an hour from bedtime and have calories to consume, and go OVER. I should just go upstairs. But I go up so early as it is. I'm going to try drinking some decaf and see if that helps. The creamer I use is very low cal.
Sara, I hope the person doing the facial understands how dangerous it was to let you fall. I also hope you are really ok. Facials are nice--I've had 1 or 2. But I love massage and get that at least monthly. Well, except I get too busy and forget to schedule and the next thing you know, I have 10 saved up! Just used the last of those-10 in like 6 weeks. So nice.
Take care all and TTYL.

Good morning all~
Sandy - I bet your dip was a huge success!
Maureen - glad for you that you are getting back to your walking!
Wow am I dragging this morning. I'm at the airport with too much time to kill, and I am close to nodding off. One of the many disadvantages of traveling alone is there's no one to watch my stuff while I clock steps up and down the concourse.....
Lana

Monday Monday, everyone!
Maureen, it's great you were able to get out and walk! I can't get up the motivation in the cold. Hopefully your surgery gets rescheduled soon!
Lana, it was a success, thanks! There were some leftovers which I brought home. I will have that as a topping to scrambled eggs till it's gone. I actually made a bit too much but better too much than too little. Oh....and safe travels!
What a game! SO exciting! And all the naysayers got put in their place. The best team won!
I think I ate the weight I gained....LOL! But it's back on the stick today!
Everyone have a great day!
Sandy
