Because of weather and the legal holiday, my office has been remote/closed ALL week. I am so bored today. I have nothing left to do. Making a grocery list, quilting, and watching my electronic queue to see if anything shows up. :o @Meghan509 So glad you are liking the new SUV! My old one was in the low 20s for MPG and the…

Today is being a Monday! I have a migraine, my computer isn't working (while I am remote again), and I keep dropping things. At least tomorrow is a legal holiday and I get the day off. One more day and then we can start fresh on Monday, right? Fasting wise, I did all the good things yesterday and, MAGICALLY, the scale…

Because of the storm, I was off work yesterday and I am remote today. It is actually pretty nice to not have to commute farther than across the house, but my family is pretty loud. @Meghan509 Your new car sounds nice! Glad your new coworker made it out. It was not too bad here Saturday until late (I am not too far from…

Welcome, @angela233Z! It really is all about mindset. I am sure that you will be successful! @Meghan509 Have fun with all those appointments! I did a long fast on Monday as a reset. I felt so much better after, but then I have been terrible this week. :/ The commute this morning was the best... like ever! I either need to…

The traffic has been so light this week! I am off tomorrow. I hope it stays smooth the rest of the week. I am finishing up the stack of files that I have been working on. It did not go as smoothly as I was hoping. BUT, I will have it scanned in so if we get hit with a snow storm in the next wee bit, I will be able to work…

Well, I am back! We had a great week! Lots of family and friends and relaxation and getting stuff done. I hope it was a good week for you too! Now, to catch up on work from being a week away! :open_mouth:

@Meghan509 It sounds like you have a wonderful week off planned. :) It is really quiet here, too. I have a short stack of things to do so that when I come back, I won't have to dive into anything difficult. Also gotta remember to water my plant well. It is a succulent, otherwise, I would take it home with me. This weekend…

@Meghan509 I looked at the CRV when I was car shopping last year. I am short and it wasn't as easy to see out of as the Rav4, otherwise, I would have gone for it. Also, I totally feel you on the to-do list. I was fully unmotivated after lunch yesterday, but now I really want to get this stack done so my desk is clear…

Nothing ruins a Friday like realizing it is only Wednesday! LOL I am actually having a pretty good day. I am getting over the sinus infection I have been battling for a while. The stack of files I just pulled looks like it won't be too bad. We are having a department luncheon today (pizza and chit-chat). And only two more…

@Meghan509 Sounds like you are on a roll this week! Way to go! It is so great when you work with a nice group of people. I hope your good week keeps going! I was on such a roll yesterday. Today, not so much. But, only three more alarms and then a week off! Have a good one!

Good morning! I had a nice weekend. I made a lot of progress on the quilt I am trying to finish, went shopping with my BIL's wife, watched a lot of silly Christmas movies, and relaxed. Five days and then I have a week off! I hope the weekend was fantastic for you, too! Off to finish the tricky stuff and have an easy…

@Meghan509 I hope today is a good day and you enjoy your afternoon and lunch! Glad the colonoscopy went well, too. Not much going on here. I did not get nearly as much done yesterday as I wanted. This stack of folders is all messed up and I have to untangle records. Oh, well. If I get this all done today, I can start next…

Holy cow! That is a bad commute day, @Meghan509! Glad that you have a nice group to work with and the new VP is nice. Good people make all the difference. I dropped a whole bunch of water weight overnight and I feel much better today from all the things I have had going on. Not much going on in my world today. I want to…

@Meghan509 I hope your luncheon was nice. I hope things slow down a bit. I had to laugh about the pushy salesman. My husband went to take his new vehicle in to get its first oil change and they hung a note on the rearview mirror asking if he wanted to sell it... he hasn't even had it a year yet! I am doing the boring part…

@Meghan509 I am working the same days. Best wishes to your BF. My husband had to have one a few years ago. They are not fun. At least it is conveniently located and you can bring him a snack when you pick him up! I am on a roll already today. I have all the motivation! I came to a horrifying realization last week that was…

Welcome to Monday! We had a nice weekend. Got the tree up and some decorations out. I officially decided that I *must* clear out the holiday closet when I am off at Christmas. It has gotten out of hand. :open_mouth: I baked bread yesterday, took it over for dinner at with my husband's brother's family and it was a hit.…

Happy Friday! Just chugging along today. This weekend I am going to get the house decorated and give myself a little spa day after I get all the Christmas shopping done. The office Christmas lunch is on Monday. I am just bringing meatballs. Super easy. I plan to sail through to the end of the month quite smoothly. I am…

I just slogged through a nightmare file. I am having carbs for lunch because my brain hurts now and I am cranky. Today I woke up feeling better, but sounding worse. I think I am now better both ways. :) I think mine was just sinus drainage that moved south. @Meghan509 That is a nice surprise! I hope your weather stays…

@Meghan509 I am glad your day is going well! I would love to go see the museums in DC! That is great that you will get to do that! I am taking off the week of Christmas, and then the next week will be super slow with New Year's off. It will be nice. I am feeling annoyingly cruddy today. Not enough to actually go/stay home,…

Haven't gotten anything done today, but I *did* talk to a coworker that has been working at home since September and is finally able to be back in the office! Super exciting! I completed a 39.5 hour fast. I feel so much better! I am also cruising on down on the scale. :) @Meghan509 I have been watching the national…

Happy Monday! I made it into the office, got all the Monday/long weekend/change of season things done this morning. I am also back down to 20 lbs down. I am in the midst of a 36+ hour fast and my system is feeling better. I hope all is well! Have a great week!

I can't believe it is already the end of the year! November really flew by!

Glad you had a nice day, @Meghan509! We had a very nice Thanksgiving. ☺️ Gratitude, family, and mashed potatoes, who could ask for more? I *did* hit my 20 pound goal Thursday morning. I have definitely rebounded a wee bit. I am going to do a 36+ hour fast starting Sunday. That should reset my system and send me on my way…

I am cruising through my last day this week. Five whole days off is going to be lovely! I hope Thanksgiving is fantastic! Off to try to accomplish something. I am NOT very productive today. I need to get through this stack of things so I can get them in next week... probably not going to happen, but a girl can dream. Have…

@Meghan509, looks like we were posting at the same time! That is a GREAT deal! I am helping cook for Thanksgiving and I am also planning on making a skillet chocolate chip cookie to take for dessert. I might make some bread, too, just because I can and I like to bake and there will be people to eat it. :)

Much less of a Monday than last week! I will take it! :) I got the refrigerator, freezer, and part of the pantry cabinets cleaned out before I ran out of room in the trash. There wasn't much in the fridge and just a bit in the cabinets, but we all have a bad habit of sticking things in the freezer and then never eating it.…

@Meghan509, I hope your week is finishing well! I am on a roll at work, I exercised again, and I am over 21 hours for my fast. I am rockin' this Friday! Have a great weekend!

I am super non-productive today. I guess that balances out the last two very productive days. I have the attention span of a squirrel on meth. I also feel super gross. I am taking all the supplements so that I get over whatever it is fast. We have older people coming to visit for Thanksgiving and I don't want to…

So far, so good today! I exercised again. I am going to need a yoga mat or something if I am going to be doing this in my office. The carpet is very scratchy and the floor is concrete. There is an "exercise" room in our office, but it scares me a little. Maybe I can make it nice and take it over. The roofers are still at…

So, I said I would share my new exercise app. It is called TriadXP. You can build your own workout or use one of theirs. I was actually looking for something exactly like this. I wanted a way to put together a voice-guided version of a couple of little workout routines I have used/found. I was really excited that they…
