Sad to say I eat most of my calories around then. I go easy all day to keep Cals down and then have planned stuff 8-9 or whatever.

bearcountrygg on 01/02/2022:
I don't like to leave dishes in the sink either.

sorry it took me until today to respond! i fall behind a lot these days. but i try to catch up, best i can anyways.

Great Twain quote below. i like it!

Also, it's GREAT to hear you are getting in walking everyday. I like to walk often too; but this long holiday weekend i was naughty and was mostly on the couch. needed a breather, not that i would ever suggest that as the best way to go...

you have a lot of productive items to accomplish. sewing can be easier after several lessons. my sister learned to sew, i believe she took a class in college as it was fashion merchandising management. but i could be wrong, maybe it was a summer class before going to college as a teen. either way, she actually did learn the basics. wish i knew them. i just do a basic stitch and it usually doesn't look great....so it's usually home clothes that i am sewing, since nobody sees me in them outdoors! ha!

Donkey on 01/02/2022:
Dishes has been a frequent topic of discussion at my house. It seems as though nobody - NOBODY - likes to wash dishes here. I feel your pain.

That sounds like a lot of fun to learn how to sew properly. I work with a woman who studied fashion design in college and she is amazing at what she has created.

Maria7 on 01/03/2022:
Hope you have a good day. Sewing is something good to know how to do. If nothing more than to know how to mend clothing. I don't make my own clothes as I once did, but I use my sewing skills to repair or make adjustments to clothing.

happy-1 on 01/07/2022:
Welcome back! I love sewing too. Mom was a costumer. I learned from her. Right now I'm planning to recreate Rick Rude's Simply Ravishing wrestling robe as a bathrobe. What are you going to make?

Welcome to the New Year.

I had no intention of being MIA. The habit a writting every day wasn't very well ingrained. December ramped up both my depression and anxiety. Things have gotten better as I'm walking every day even when I'm exhausted from work.

Walking is excellent! And I noticed you've dropped a couple of pounds too. Congratulations! Your year is off to a very good start!

Yesterday ended up being amazing. I went to an event with The Minimalists. My sister wasn't able to go so I invited a random person from the meet up group. The event was amazing and Terri and I got along like we had been friends forever. Today my son and I are going out to lunch.

I looked into MeetUp several years ago, and there was nothing local. Most groups met up at a town that is about 45 minutes (drive) away. However, I just finished a book that also mentions MeetUp, and perhaps it's time I revisited that.

innerpeace on 10/14/2021:
MeetUPs, something I should look into....

Feeling better today. I didn't get up until 11. However, I did get dressed, ate breakfast, fed and watered the cat and went food shopping. Now I need to do the laundry and then I will mostly be caught up.

Sheesh, forgot to put this.

Thanks. I've never been a morning person. I used to say the only time I watch the sunrise is when I've been up all night.

I wish sometimes that I could stay awake later.....I fall asleep in a chair, at the computer...etc....by 9 usually.

Me too, Bear, can’t stay up past 10-11, binge TV & eat. Up very early, Developing bad habit of waking up 1-3 AM & doing stuff on the iPad. Most of the loony fish forum ppl are in the UK, Australia or New Zealand, so they are up posting then

Second time writting this post. Was almost finished when I somehow deleted it.

I've been eating too late at night. I know it's not healthy to eat just before bed. It does leave me foggy in the morning. On top of that, I've had a few days of big time sadness.

I'm on vacation for me. It's my birthday week. I realized last week that the only people I have to spend it with are my sister and son. My sister is up north closing on her house and seeing her neurologist. My son is up to his neck in alligators with school and work.

Okay, that's my moment of pitty party.

Thanks.

Jacky82020 on 10/10/2021:
Happy Birthday!

Alas, I consume the majority of my calories late, usually in bed, bingeing on medical dramas. Have read study after study that says calories more efficiently burned daytimes.

little_one on 10/10/2021:
I also watch medical dramas, detective dramas and mysteries.

Maria7 on 10/10/2021:
Wishing you a happy birthday. Today is my Dad's birthday.

little_one on 10/10/2021:
Happy birthday to your dad. Are you spending it with him? My dad turned 91 this year. I'm glad to still have him in my life.

PlayingQuietly on 10/10/2021:
Happy birthday dear little_one!

Maria7 on 10/10/2021:
No...he was killed in a car wreck when I was little. He was very young. That is wonderful that your Dad is 91 and I am happy you still have him, too. My Mama passed in June of this year. She was 90.

Donkey on 10/10/2021:
I'm so sorry you've been struggling with sadness. That is really hard.

Horn_of_plenty on 10/10/2021:
I have deleted a post accidentally many a time on here!!! so sorry !!

Happy Bday this week! you know, even if you cannot be with them to celebrate, you can chat on the phone with them. then, in better timing, you will celebrate when everyone can be there. things get in the way; but i am sure you all will find a good day to celebrate soon. <3 being crazy with covid times; and people somewhat busier now; i never really have plans for my bday, especially if during the week i do not celebrate until a weekend.

Horn_of_plenty on 10/10/2021:
i agree with donkey, i hope you feel better soon. emotions can be difficult at times! but we weren't meant to be "only happy all the time!"

Still taking care of me. Yesterday I got my veggies and fruit as the rain held off. Today I finished my other shopping. Small victory, no sweets in my basket.

Now I'm trying to get my appartment straightened out. The clutter and mess increase my anxiety.

Maria7 on 10/04/2021:
A belated welcome to DD! I've not been posting much, getting over Covid 19 but getting better. Yes, clutter is not good. We donated a lot of things we had been keeping for a long time, some even sentimental. Now we have more space. Feels better, too. Rather have the spaciousness and less clutter. Have a good day.

Finally under 150.

My reaction to the crazyness at work is causing a lot of stress. Ended the work day yesturday with savoring half a chocolate bar. Threw the other half in the trash. A trick I learned from a friend.

It's almost noon so I guess I should get out of bed.

Today is clean out the refrigerator because tomorrow is shopping day. I should probably make Saturday my farmers market day. Walking in the fresh air would give me exercise and a destress. For some reason everything hurts today and I am feeling my age. I'm sure the age thing is my upcoming birthday.

Wow, I've been up for almost an hour and haven't had my coffee. Hugs to all, just because.

Need to clean fridge too.

Donkey on 10/02/2021:
There seems to be a lot of work stress going on around here. I'm so sorry.

Maybe you ache because of all the stress that you've been under this week. That is to say that the mental stress has manifested itself physically.

Hugs to you too - hope you've had a cuppa by now :-)

little_one on 10/02/2021:
Sure did. Coffee, eggs with onions and olives. I think it's going to rain but I'm off to the market anyway.

Jacky82020 on 09/28/2021:
Love pets! I have 3 cats, 2 dogs, several fish tanks, 1 parrot and a dove, and now 2 axotles, pink salamanders.

What’s your fur baby?

What kinda job do you have? My most recent regular job was teaching high school.

little_one on 09/28/2021:
You have your own zoo. I've got a black Main Coon Mix. It's difficult to get a picture of her.Your axotles are beautiful.

I'm a nurse anesthetist doing sedation for an office practice. I've been there 2 years. Love the docs and the patients but I have 2 co-workers who don't seem to understand that I'm responsible for the patients until they leave. 2 years and my son is done with college. Then I retire for real.

Nope, no bail money. Besides, we have land in South Carolina to bury the bodies.

I'm with Happy - her comment made me totally laugh, probably because it's so true. I've had days like that.

I have 3 cats and they all love my daughter.

A Maine Coon! Love love love them! The cat I would choose if some stray or feral didn’t periodically wander into the yard. Worked 2 years with one feral before he fully accepted me. Now he’s a happy house cat!

How much does your kitty weigh?

Well here’s hoping those coworkers of yours wise up soon enough!

little_one on 09/29/2021:
Samantha weighs 20 pounds but she is now on a diet. Vet wants her to lose 4 pounds or so. She's 13 and having problems getting up on things and hyperthyroid.

Rescued her last August (2020).

innerpeace on 09/29/2021:
LOL - same - Happy-1 comment I laughed out loud!

I have two dogs - one is mine and the other thinks he is (he belongs to my husband). I have had cats all my life - my husband says NO.

Jacky82020 on 09/29/2021:
One of my cats weighs 15 & he should weigh 11 like the other two. I am trying to limit their food. 2/3 cans wet food per day and about the same for kibble. That’s for each. Almost always some kibble left overnight. They gobble up the wet food.

little_one on 09/29/2021:
Samantha gets 1/3 cup dried food in the morning and then in the evening. Turned her nose up at wet food. Works for me.

Jacky82020 on 09/29/2021:

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

That was me today. Didn't do well when I offered to buy pizza for the team. We worked hard and I thought we could all use some lunch. Should have known that was a bad idea. At least I didn't feel like burrying my co-workers. That's an improvement.

That was a very nice gesture on your part. My Boss is always bringing in pastries and really unhealthy stuff for "breakfast". I bring my own lunch and 2 snacks with me every day to work, to prevent going off the rails.
