Thank you @_breathe_ !! Success thanks to you!

@Texasstitcher Wondering if I am still on raindancers? Saw that invitations went out but nothing new is in my messages mail - is there somewhere else to check?

Noticing that when I go to some other group pages, the most recent pages' discussions and posts don't populate. There's only an empty box. Anyone else experiencing this or know if it's a glitch or there's something I should do?

I weigh daily. Measured today.

Even though I can feel the muscles in my arms, when looking in the mirror they look like flabby granny arms. Tired of hearing my h say "just get rid of those old clothes, you're never gonna fit in them again".

@Gisel2015 Sending you prayers and healing thoughts for recovery. @KeriA Still have my camping equipment from when I used to take my kids to Kings Cyn (20 yrs ago and would still like to go again).

But will eat alot more than on week days. It calls to me - my mind will come up with eat this or…

I would tell my younger self to do all those things you wanted to do, go to those places you dreamed about. You get older so fast and then it's much harder & having to consider other people's wishes sucks. Two more days and I have a week off but going to be working on taxes. Hallelujah anyway!!
