@kaynelvb Welcome! You can read my details in the spoilers below. I too am a Fitbit wearer that just learned yesterday that the Fitbit.com dashboard is no longer available as of July 2024.

@snowflake1968 Congratulations on graduating with honors (American spelling LOL)!!! Hope that whatever your next job is, it's a good fit for you!

@PackerFanInGB Thanks so much for sharing the "declutter 5 things" idea. I love it! I'm always down that I don't get complete control of certain areas of clutter at home. Maybe I don't need an all or nothing attitude to clutter. Maybe this approach will help. Baby steps LOL Recap 7/9 T ~ Another hot, steamy day & no dog…

Recap 7/8 M ~ weird weather, alternating dark clouds with rain & thunder, then sunny & puffy clouds, all while hot & steamy = no dog walk 1) Broccoli & fish for supper / log all food / 80 oz. water :smiley: Along with another volunteer, we "sampled" extra desserts brought to be plated for the funeral luncheon.

No recap, since I didn't have the time to post yesterday. I made an early run to the farmers market downtown (city's largest, actual farmer's market, with lots of real farmers and produce).
