Well, yesterday kind of got away from me. Mom called and guilted me into getting her bird seed. Ordered online to skip the pre-Christmas crazy. Then delivered it and visited which took forever. Then when I finally leave and need to pick up the dog she calls again to say she needs toilet paper. I so didn't want to go to the…

I went to the grocery which was CRAZY. Didn't get the sugar cookies done, but made orange cookies and another batch of pecan balls. Need to get the sugar cookies tonight so we can deliver soon. Sugar cookies are my least favorite to make. They take forever. When the kids helped it was fun, but solo it's just tedious. Food…

Finally starting to feel a little more Christmas-y. Hubby made a list of 17 folks/families for our annual cookie/fudge distribution. Did some baking over the weekend. There are Chocolate Chip Cookies, reduced sugar CC Cookies, My Grandma's Russian Tea Balls, Great Grandma's Sugar cookies (dough is in the fridge), Mamaw's…

Depression compounds so many other things making them so…

Been a little down lately. Not sure why. Tim is also very distant. Usually only one of us is in a funk at a time, and we can pull the other up. I think both our parents are weighing on our minds. His mom is declining and has bouts of paranoia and delusions. My mom's mental capacity is just less and less. I'm getting closer…

It sounds like something metabolic is going on. Or you have too high a deficit. Id see a medical doctor to make sure your endocrine system, hormones and thyroid are in line. Good luck.

Work holiday luncheon was a huge success. Tons of food and lots of conversation. Deciding instead of going straight home after work that I would go get a mani/pedi. It was nice. Picked up dinner on the way home. Got home ate, spent some time with pups, then decorated the tree with hubby and watched Christmas movies. Pretty…

Well, hubby cooked and I watched the dogs for a bit, then I joined a friend for trivia. When I came home Tim and I finished watching the football game. Got up at 4:00 with the pup as usual, then put him back in the kennel. He cried again at 5:00 so I took him out, then again at 6:00. This time I laid down on the couch and…

Hope y'all had a nice holiday (US) or weekend. We had a great Thanksgiving and weekend. We ate, played games, ate some more, got a tree and visited with family. I worked Wednesday, and we were going to be tight on time Friday, so Tim, Sierra and Chase went to the tree farm. Chase had never cut a tree down before or been to…

Work was a drag yesterday. I went home early and took my afternoon calls from there. Went out to a lovely dinner at the local Cajun place, ordered Filet Oscar which is a steak tenderloin with lump crab in a brandy cream sauce over mashed potatoes. The steak was well cooked and crab topped mashed potatoes were the star of…

My cousin's son came out of surgery without a hitch. Long recovery road, but his heart is happier now. Super excited that I was able to get V a Christmas present that will make here scream with joy. She is a huge K-Pop fan and her favorite band is going to be in the states (east coast) next year. She called me last night…

Been keeping up with y'all, but not posting. Sorry about all the hand injuries, that must suck. Weight is back down below 200, yay! House is cleaned and ready for the kids to come home tomorrow. Turkeys are thawing and supplies are purchased. We are making turkey, stuffing, gravy, noodles and cranberry sauce. SIL is doing…

@HappyDonkey75 Sucks about your knee. Hope it gets better soon! @cschmitz110515 That is the coolest rainbow ever. The circumzenithal arc, also called the circumzenith arc (CZA), the upside-down rainbow, and the Bravais arc,[1] is an optical phenomenon similar in appearance to a rainbow, but belonging to the family of halos…

Today just sucked... Work was ok, but mom called and told me she had roaches. I told her I would get some over the counter bait and spray until I could get an exterminator there. So I called exterminator and did a Walmart curbside order to speed up things. Well the order was only 3 items and it was still delayed so I had…

Yesterday was good. I logged, I was in goal, I taught spin class and I didn't eat any snacks. Found out Merlin has Kennel Cough so our weekend plans are canceled. We were going to go to a college basketball rivalry game Friday night and then to a football game Saturday for our alma mater. Oh well, guess I'll do laundry and…

JFT Tuesday - Work by 7:30 :smiley: - Call vet - Meetings - More meetings - Log food - Home by 4:30 - Teach spin - Go to mom's - Home by 8:00 - Bed by 10:00

Actually taught spin for the first time in ages. Well I've been showing up, but I've not been riding as much as instructing. Saturday I rode with them. It was difficult but it felt good. I'm covering a class for a friend tomorrow. Need to get back into the gym regularly. Went to the doctor today and saw a number on the…

Halloween was fun. I dressed up as Strawberry Shortcake. Even used strawberry body spray to complete the effect. The neighborhood kids enjoyed that I dressed up, but they enjoyed the candy more. I did have one set of kids make a second pass by the house, which annoyed me. I still gave them candy, but not big candy as I…

The last couple of days have been pretty good. Sierra came in over the weekend so we actually cooked. This means we had leftovers Monday & Tuesday instead of going out. That is huge for us. We eat less, drink less and go to bed earlier. Need to get back to this on the regular. Sierra dropped off the grand puppy and she and…

Thought we had a relatively good day yesterday. Work was ok. Tim said he was going to go to yoga at 6:30. I wanted a burger from my favorite restaurant for dinner. Told him I'd meet him there after yoga. All was well. Driving home he called and asked if I wanted to go watch a football game at the pub. I said no at first…

Yesterday went pretty well as far as getting everybody to their designated areas on time. I didn't attend many of the meetings or ceremonies, but the timing was good. I definitely had one of the low stress jobs. I was however worn out from stressing over it and because the pup woke me at 3:30 yesterday morning (and this…

Found my scale! Guess I've missed all of October's challenge, but I will begin in November. Been busy, but got a little self care in the last 5 days. Nails last week and new fall hair yesterday. Funny, neither turned out like I thought, but I like them. Big day at work, lots of visitors on site. Board of Directors,…

If it makes you feel better, I turned off the ceiling fan in my bedroom yesterday and to my horror there were stalactites of dust clinging to it. I closed my eyes and took a nap. I still haven't gotten around to cleaning it.

Took my daughter and her friend out to dinner last night before driving back home. Made for a late night, but I love hanging out with V. She is a fascinating young lady. She makes me proud. Got home around 11:00pm and crashed on the couch. Work today until 1:30ish. ZERO work meetings today, but I'm meeting with my…

Yesterday was rough. Work was stressful and I had a ton of errands to get done before going to trivia, but most of the errands weren't bad. I went by mom's vet office to get records for her doggo. Picked up mom & dog and took them to Pet Smart to get a nail trim and pick up some dog food. Took mom home and visited a bit.…

@HappyDonkey75 I had similar fears after a particularly awful bicycle wreck. Like you it wasn't my first wreck, but it was one I couldn't get over easily. There was an entire year that I was debilitated by fear. I went from riding 100-200 miles a week to no being able to mount my bike. I would go to the bike path and cry…

Still haven't dug out my scale. Weekend was ok. Drove up to Kent to buy my daughter a new laptop because hers kept crashing. Its a 3 hour drive both ways, but she wasn't comfortable making the purchase alone. I'm glad I went not just because I got to see her, but also because my card was declined the first time due to a…

I really liked mine, but now I can't even find it. When I was using it religiously, I found the trend worth looking at for %BF, but not the actual value. It gave me a good idea of progress, though it was off quite a bit (I had a caliper BF analysis done at physical therapy). PT told me it was my breast that skewed the…

Birthday turned around a bit. Tim suggested that I skip puppy class and go out with friends. It was nice, but I stayed out too late making for a rough Thursday at work. Yesterday was fine other than me being tired, but honestly that is pretty typical these days. Went to work, left to pick up pup at daycare. He chewed…
