Greetings to all. Lunch was nice although a little late for me. I was able to explain, once again, it is my preference to have a time to meet. I explained my many reasons, the first being we are both still working and there are many things we both need to get done over the weekend, I am an early riser (4-5am) and need to…

Sometimes I wish I could simply sleep in. I purposely stayed up way beyond my bedtime and I still awakened at 4:30 am. I guess it just isn’t in the cards for me. I certainly miss those late teen/early 20’s years when I could sleep until noon! 😊 As mentioned yesterday I am meeting a co-worker this afternoon up in Delray…

Cheri - Happy Birthday to you. I hope your new year is a kind one.

Hello from chilly FL. Yes, it’s chilly. The lows tonight will be in the 50s. It hit 70 today and that 20 degree drop certainly makes its presence known. I am a wimp, make no mistake! Allie – I am so sorry you are in for another week at the hospital. Big hug to you. The diagnosis back and forth has to be frustrating. Can…

Oh, I am determined to get caught up! 😊 Tina – So glad you had a nice Sunday hike and found a place not overrun with people. The newer cars are so good on gas. Mine is not a hybrid, but I averaged 42 MPG during my drive to my friend’s home which is an hour north of me. Betsy the Beast averaged 28 MPG on her best days. Your…

Greetings to all. Oh, it seems I will never catch up. Near the end of my workday there was a major internet service glitch. Not only did the internet go down but we also lost phone and cable services. A teammate and I were able to text each other. After an hour we were able to make calls. The two major providers have not…

Greetings to all. We are one busy group! I have 25 pages and 400 posts of reading to do. I will try to catch up as best as I can. If I haven’t commented it’s not due to lack of interest. Simply lack of time. 😊 Sue WA – I am sending prayers and positive thoughts to your brother. I hope to see an update a little further…

Hello everyone. Work has had me in front of my computer for 12+ hour days. Things should be a little more normal by the end of the week. All is going well. I have been more or less sticking with my diet and logging almost everything most days. The weight I gained is slowly coming off. When I logged in this morning I was…

Greetings from chilly Florida. I awakened yesterday thinking the weather peeps were correct with their predictions. Ok, I must admit the last time I checked the weather was last Thursday. I got up, showered, and threw on a pair of shorts. Much to my amazement when I went outside I was chilled! It was 50 degrees!! Kylia –…

Hello lovely ladies. A quick check in this morning before I start my routine. Work will be extremely busy this week so I may be MIA this week. I am tracking all foods and am feeling better for it. I think the year just got to me and I comforted myself with food. I need to shift this life-long habit. I will be working on a…

Hello everyone. Today was very productive. I was able to get almost everything I planned to get done, done. I decided I wanted to keep the Christmas lights up for one more week. They are inside my windows so the weather will not hold me up if I decide to take them down during the week. I simply love the light they through…

Greetings from SFL. It has been a lovely 3-day weekend. The weather starts off cool in the mornings (around 70’ish) with a slight breeze and then warms to the 80s. Yes, I am completely spoiled here in SFL. The air conditioner kicked on for the first time on Thursday. Today will be a day of some chores. Laundry, general…

Happy New Year!! I had not visited in a day and have over 150 posts to read and start a new month. The last days of December were quite busy at work. I am so glad it’s a 3-day weekend. It will be good to have an extra day of downtime. Barbie – Thank you for starting us off to a fresh month and a new year. So thankful to…

Hello one and all. Work is kicking my you know what which was expected. This will continue through mid-January. All good – it keeps me busy and is an indication I am still needed. 😊 I am getting very close to completing my 2021 goals. Most are financially based. I have been paying down all of my bad debt since October…

Hello everyone. Yesterday was a productive day. My 2021 goals are almost complete and all of the Christmas decorations, with the exception of the lights in the windows and the Nativity scene, are all packed up and stowed away. The Nativity and lights will be put up after the Epiphany. While compiling my 2021 goals I…

Is your stove electric? Is it one without a glass top? I found replacing the coils worked on my old electric stove for the issue you described. The coils were cheap (this was quite a few years ago) and just pulled off. The new ones slide on (there is a little tugging - nothing major). :smile:

Hello everyone. As the year is drawing to a close I am counting my 2020 blessings. I am so very fortunate to have remained working through 2020, I have roof over my head which will soon be completely transformed on the outside, I am healthy, my financial mess is slowing but surely getting cleaned up and paid off, I also…

Happy Boxing Day to those who celebrate. Yesterday was a quiet day. Binged “The Christmas Story”. Well, not really, it was on while I was puttering around the house. The neighbors brought me brunch. They are a lovely couple. They always check in to make sure I have a holiday meal and do a mental check. They have never said…

Holiday greetings from SFL. It is a cold and blustery 63 degrees here. We are expecting temperatures to drop down in to the low 40s. I know everyone laughs at these posts from me. Yesterday it was 80. The over 30-degree drop does make one feel really chilled. Heather – Johnny did a wonderful job on the cake. Annie – Big…

KJ, I love the story of your mom seeing your son before her passing. I think you posted it last year and I had forgotten it. Such a lovely life story. :heart:

O, holy night. The stars are brightly shining. …. Christmas Eve – It’s hard to believe the year is drawing to an end. And, what a strange and winding road we have been on. I am thankful we have stayed in touch and have supported each other throughout this year. The virtual cocktail class was a blast. It started with an…

Ho, ho, ho, and a bottle of rum! Work was crazy busy yesterday which was primarily due to my PW not properly working when I logged in yesterday morning. After two very frustrating hours on and off with the help desk I finally got to a very good tech who lead me through the 30-second process of how to clear the issue. She…

Heather, Thank you. Just what I needed today. You brought a tear to my eye.

Greetings to all and to all a good day. 😊 It is Monday funday and I am not sure what awaits me at work. I have been reaching my small goal of not logging in during my days off. It has been a difficult task because it simply isn’t in my nature. I almost logged in when I had gotten up at 4am. I decided I needed to ease into…

Yes, it’s me again. I hope I am able to touch on everyone’s lives. If not please know I think of all of you daily and hope all is well in your world. Barbara – Sorry to hear about the Fire Chief. Your imagery regarding the rain was on point. Heather – The birthday(s) basket made my mouth water. The picture of the German…

Hello everyone. It has been a few days and I have a ton of reading and catching up to do. I cannot believe how quickly December has flown by. Before we know it we will be wishing each other Happy New Year!! I am remaining present and am not wishing my final 2020 days away. I still remember at the end of 2019 thinking, “I…

Hello everyone. Not much time to respond. I had gotten up late after one of those sleep for an hour wake up type of nights. Mind just deleting stress. I decided to take tomorrow off and there is so much going on at work. Today will be a hyper-focused day so I can close up quite a few things needing completion. At 4:30 I…

My dilemma….. I have been invited to an outdoor Christmas gathering this Saturday. It will be a smallish group. Everyone was asked to bring an appetizer and their own drinks. Initially I said yes but am now second guessing my decision. The reasons are numerous. The biggest issue is the appetizer thing. Everyone will be…

Hello everyone. Ok, the countdown is on! It’s really hard to believe Christmas is 9 days away. I am looking forward to the long weekend. This is the first year the company has given us both Christmas Eve and day off. I think it was primarily done because Christmas is on Friday this year. Work continues around the complex.…

Hello everyone. So a little nap and some odds and ends done this afternoon. All of the activity this morning made me a little tire. Plus, I was up at 5am. Oh, the place smells of wood and tar – I wonder why. It is interesting how something being done outside can permeate the walls enough so one can smell the odors inside.…
