  • Gratitude list for today: * Another mild fall day. * Moved Luna-kitten to her pen after she almost escaped her nest. Trying to get her used to the litter box. She is a month old, now, and am so relieved we made it this far. * Wonderful supper. It’s a short list today. I’ve been suffering allergy-related sinus issues and…
  • Yes x 3 yesterday and today. Lots of cleaning both days.
  • Happy October, team! Today is the first day of Halloween! :lol: Today I am grateful for the beautiful weather we are having in my corner of North Carolina. Also on the list is that today was a total do-what-I-want day. Been enjoying the outdoors, spending time with Luna-kitten, working on diamond painting and reading. I…
  • Y’all, my biggest gratitude today is the wonderful people in this group! I made it through another month (I think I started in March) with all of you. I started the month employed at a job I was really starting to hate and ended comfortably retired, weighing exactly the same as I did when I started. #winning You guys have…
  • Yes to all three today. I used my second pass yesterday. I was feeling so bad. I got a bit of exercise in, ate under, but logged nothing. I went through the kitchen like a tornado this afternoon and cleared all the counter space, washed all the pots, ran laundry, logged it all, came in under. Congrats to all the WC folks…
  • Yes x 3. I came too much under goal today. Luna kitten is starting to struggle with eating, so I’m stressed out. I did an awful lot of cleaning today, as well as helping to mount the new medicine chest in the guest bath. I thought retirement would be less stressful, but apparently that isn’t the case.
  • Let’s try this, again...attempt #3, lol Yes x 3 today. Two passes left and should have no problems making it to the WC this month.
  • Oh, nuts! 😂🤣😂 I just saw the typos in my post. I promise, I ran the concept by her. There was zero ramming involved. I’m assertive, not aggressive. 😂🤣😂
  • @readyornot1234 and @BMcC9 yes! I have been so much more relaxed the past two weeks. Even getting up to feed Luna at oh-dark-thirty happens easily, because I don’t face each day with dread, wondering what kind of fresh hell is waiting for me later. :lol: I had been really sad a few months ago, because I had been really…
  • Yes to all. Logged everything, came under goal, walked twice, for thirty minutes each time.
  • These last couple of days... woah. I have heard from two of my former team. Both are absolutely miserable and being worked to death. Team of 12 is now 11, officially, but four are out on medical, so that left them only seven this week, and I don’t know how they are managing. One told me she’s worked 8 days straight and the…
  • Hi, all! It’s been a little busy today. I finished that first manuscript and sent it off. Glad it’s off my plate. Bleeding eyeballs are not a good look for anyone, lol! Now that the work is done, I am spending the rest of the day on self-care. Needing to refresh the purple in my hair for a week or so, so I will do that,…
  • Yes to all three on this day. (I’m a day late; got sucked into a new game last night, lol.) Logged everything, came in under budget and walked for 45 minutes, as well as some housecleaning that I didn’t bother to log. So far, I’ve only used one pass day, I think. Saturday was supposed to be my second, but I ended up not…
  • Girrrrrrrl! :lol: :lol: :lol: Compared to what I’m editing? Yours could win prizes! I am over here thinking to myself that she HAD to have handed in the draft copy, but, no. The misspellings are plentiful, the use of same sounding words, different spellings (verses/versus) and run on sentences the length of paragraphs…
  • It is almost Tuesday, here. Today I worked on editing a manuscript that wanted to make my eyes bleed! 😂 The punctuation goes INSIDE quotation marks.Etcetera is ETC, not ECT. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Never start a sentence with the word, “And.” I could go on and on. Until today, I thought anyone who could string a few words together could…
  • Today was laundry day, and I have a baby gate across the hall to keep the kittens out, so multiple crossing hurdles, lol! I only got my feet tangled up once. 😂 Yes x 3. My appetite has decreased since retirement. I came way under, and logged everything.
  • I made smart choices, so this did not end up as a pass day. Exercised 72 minutes, hauling an 85 pound hot from the house to the truck, then the truck to the cooker, and the associated numerous bags of charcoal back and forth, all morning, lol. Came in under goal and know this because I logged everything! The reunion was…
  • Yes x 3 yesterday and today.
  • Whew, I’m sleepy today! Stayed up too late last night, and in eastern NC we have Sally remnants coming through, so it’s sleep weather for sure! 🥱 Today’s list:* My former boss, who hired me for some freelance editing work from home. * Fridge full of food. * The gift of time. * The reduction of major stressors in my life,…
  • Yes x 3. My nsv is that my Tall and Curvy leggings are too big.
  • So happy to see that @BMcC9 is back with us! <3 Here’s the short list for today: * Coffee, and copious amounts of it, because * Baby Kitten was hungry laaaaate last night/early this morning, but is eating so much better than she had been. * Again, the nice early fall weather. * I now have the time and energy to get back…
  • So it is 12:30 here in my backyard. I’m finishing up my coffee and about to go in and feed Baby Kitten. On a Tuesday. At home! 🤗 Gratitude list:* My work friends that showed me so much love yesterday. * The energy I now have to tackle the house projects. * NO STRESS! (I really don’t know how to act.) * Time to play on my…
  • Yes x 3, but just barely! My team hosted a retirement lunch and there were so many goodies. Now I have to rethink how I’m going to get my exercise...
  • Gratitude list for today:* Got up early to feed Baby Cat, then went back to bed for a few hours. * Baby Cat’s eyes are opening. * Relaxing day, today. * Mom turns 81 tomorrow! 🥰 Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
