    Dida 20-40-60 workout today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Lose 10Pounds Now DVD and then a Perfect Pilates DVD

    Lisa– one time our cat brought in a rabbit. The poor rabbit was scared s**tless, went behind the buffet and died. For the longest time I smelled this horrible smell. I tried everything to mask it, boiled cinnamon, lit candles – all to no avail. When we were moving, we moved the buffet and found the rabbit.

    Mo - the BK isn’t in a Hispanic area. I don’t know why they are now “punishing” me for going to FL since they didn’t do it for the years before. If that were the case, I would think they would have “punished” me years ago. I know that the store mgr has a soft spot in her heart for people who are in a bad situation. That’s probably why she kept Jerry on for 20 years. She put her job in jeopardy when he came to work drunk. I think that explains why she hired this girl. She was most likely a friend of one of the other workers, not someone who just walked in and applied for a job. I have no idea how much she’s being paid but it’s always surprised me how they’d give more hours to higher paid employees (been there longer). Not that they were doing a real fantastic job. That only increases your salary expense. But not mine to figure out. Honestly, I like working early in the a.m. then having the rest of my day to do what I need to do. Like right now I usually get there around 6:15. I don’t plan any appointment (taking care of the car, MD appts, etc) until after 12 when I know definitely I won’t be working. Yes, there are times when I can’t do that. Like early in May I have to go for my(yuk) colonoscopy. I guess we shall see what the future brings. She said she was going to think of something I can do for the fifth day. I want to enjoy my job. After all the years of struggling, depriving myself, etc. I think I deserve to be happy. I’ve always said that they were stuck with me until the job stopped being enjoyable. That’s why I quite working at Food Lion.

    One of the things I find I like about living in North Carolina where we are is the lack of traffic. I really don’t like going to Charlotte because of all the traffic.

    After exercise I went to WalMart, bought gas, then stopped at Sam’s just to see if they carry the things I need. They really don’t. So in a bit I think I’ll take a walk down to Food Lion to see if they carry them. Also, I want to get some shrimp for Easter (the shrimp is frozen) since it’s on sale BOGO

    Someone is supposed to come here tomorrow about the deck. I don’t know...on the phone he talked about rebuilding the whole thing. I don’t know if everything needs to be rebuilt, I would think that some things can be saved. Another guy is coming Monday at 4 (we should be home from bowling by then, we usually get out around 3). Then probably later in the week C’s friend should be here.

    Heather– you go girl! All that walking

    Rosa– welcome. Lots of ladies on here do crafts. I like most crafts except quilting. I’m not a real good artist that’s for sure.

    Lisa– Vince is going to build computers since ours isn’t compatible with W11 and he’s ordering the parts because of the possible tariffs on China. Most all of the components come out of China.

    Rita– is Portofino’s a chain? I could swear we were at one, I thinking DE

    Carol - I’m so sorry you’re in such pain.

    Michele

    who is off to Food Lion.

    Carol - my sympathies. Pain like that is so dispiriting. I hope you get some relief from the prednisone.

    Best wishes, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Ask. It's OK to ask questions. Better than assuming.

    I know that the store mgr has a soft spot in her heart for people who are in a bad situation.

    That's great! 💕

    Wow, Ginny, that's a lot! Sending lots of good wishes to you, and hopes that your body rallies round to give you the healing you deserve. Sounds as if you have a good medical team around you.

    Good morning!

    Ginny- Thank you for taking some time to let us know how you are fairing. Prayers and gentle hugs!

    Allie- i hope you are resting as well!

    Mo and Machka- I love the smiles!

    Carol- I hope you find relief soon.

    I have to say I am a little "jelly" of those of you working in your yards. It has been either cold or wet when I am home. I will get there. Last night I made chicken parmesan in the microwave. It was yummy! This morning I have venison roast, potatoes, and carrots in the crock pot. Hopefully turns out good. Currently working and sleeping, so trying to get some good foods in. Yes, I can cook entire meals from scratch in microwave. It is the one kitchen appliance that is a must have for me.

    Cali and Tori are almost 10 lbs each. They will be a year old in a week. I generally fall asleep with Tori either on my chest or across my legs. Cali is typical calico.. .she only wants attention on her terms! That means usually about 4 am from my DH. He is such a light sleeper! They occasionally wake me up, but rarely do I stay awake more than a pet or two-hehe. Other than early morning petting, she is good for about 2 mins worth early evening. Tori is definitely the lover. They like going out in the morning, not so much in the evening. I think more dogs are out then. I keep saying that we got them to be outdoor cats.....my DH keeps saying they can't be out all day! We apparently are barn car failures!

    Dishwasher emptied, dinner going, bed made, caught up with you all ( the most important thing to me). I reckon I should get ready for work. My customers depend on me.

    Healing thoughts!

    Welcomes!

    Cheering the positives in your lives!

    Helping to support you in the down times as well!

    Much love,

    Kylia in Ohio

    Ginny - Looking forward to hearing positive results from the pathologies. Rest and relax and heal. Sorry about the nick, but glad you're where you need to be a little longer.

    Carol - Pain takes its toll on us, dear heart. I'm sorry your back is chiming in as well, hope the steroids help. They have, on occasion, been tremendously helpful for me.

    Debbie - Glad you found me!

    Heather - Edie knows you very well - kinda loving the card.

    Mo - Loving those smiles - but I do think it's funny, considering your earlier comment, that your husband is holding his phone behind your head. You look relaxed and happy.

    Machka - Love the pics of you! You look so happy.

    Allie - Thinking about you, baby girl. Hope it's a good day.

    Took yesterday off from almost everything except a little laundry… so maybe today I'll accomplish something! Maybe not, I dunno. Happy Friday, y'all… whether past, present or future.

    Love,
    Lisa in AR

    Oh, Rita, darlin', I am SO sorry. I know that was terribly hard.

    Barbie - I am so grateful for that comment, I can't even tell you.
