    I sure am, it has been a rough week so far. Plus I'm training someone which I do not like at all.
    Sorry it’s been a rough week :(. I never minded training people at the shop but it could be frustrating when they couldn’t seem to get the simplest things.

    Oh you may have and I forgot :blush: I do that a lot :facepalm:
    And I might not have because I am always telling y'all so much. Bless your hearts. Y'all tolerate me well.

    I do like Burger King but I know it’s not good for us .
    We all know that but it does not stop me. Most things that I like are the ones that are not good for me. And the stuff that is good for me is too high to afford.

    Good evening everyone :wub:

    3 already? Wow! Seems like just yesterday she was a baby. Whoppers are pretty tasty, but I like Big Macs more ;) Must be the sauce.

    I'm glad you are going to go with Perry. That is really nice. If you are ever in NY at the end of August, definitely check the fair out. We've been going since I was a teen.

    I feel ya on the training, Joey. Glad your weekend is almost here.

    Enjoy the rest of your night :wub:

    I have been so busy this week and must tell you I have been pretty productive. Amazing what you can do when you stay home and work on stuff!

    Duke Power told me they were going to have to cut down 3 bushes and a tree. I did not mind the bushes. They said I could cut them back 6 feet but I didn't like them where they were at anyway so I said cut 'em down. I was also excited to get this huge tree cut down. The only problem is that they shredded all that they could and left the big pieces of the trunk. What am I supposed to do with those? I called and complained and a man came out today when I was not there (they told me he would call first and he did not). He said it was not their responsibility and for me to get in touch with another department. I will call them tomorrow and see what I can do. I may just have to roll them somehow in the yard and try to burn them. I cannot believe they would leave that behind for the customer to handle. Sheesh! I did not complain about the ruts in the yard. Hopefully, they will fill in when it rains. They threw out grass seeds but I doubt that grows this time of year.

    Perry has been saying he would take me so I could get my passport when he renews his. It has been months and I have said numerous things about it. He just works all the time and it is not open on the weekend. Oh well. This o'l girl GPS'd my booty downtown today and submitted my application. The woman was so nice and helpful. I was glad they did not have to take my BP because I circled the place twice before I found the right entrance. I am not sure where I am going or who I am going with but I'm going somewhere.

    Weeded my chainlink fence which was looking pretty bad. I have done my trim work and edging too. I am going to mow tomorrow if I feel like it. I have been trying the carnivore diet this week. I do not think I am going to be able to do it. I miss my salads and veggies. The only way I have ever lost weight was by watching my fats. But I have lost 4 lbs so far this week which is pretty amazing because I have not been hungry. I have also started walking again and have made it 6000 steps each day this week. I am going to get off this 20 lbs (now 16) that I have put on, one way or another.

    Sorry for the long post. Y'all have a good night. :wub:

    I hate to admit this but it sure has been nice staying home this week. I have enjoyed getting back to my comfortable routine. Eating healthy, walking, and reading. Something I have not been doing for a while.

    I think trying to run 2 households has started getting to me. Relationships seem to be a lot like caregiving.

    Going to read now. Yay! Hope everyone sleeps well. Happy Friday to all. :wub:

    Happy Fri-Yay!

    Ooooh maybe you'll get a little punkin for Halloween :) Kiddo will be 16 next month and getting his learner's permit. Not sure if I'm looking forward to that. Yeesh.

    You definitely have been a busy girl, Rat2. Congrats on your steps and weight loss. I will step on the scale tomorrow and see if I've made any progress. Still not walking and absolutely procrastinating on calling the dr.

    Off to read a new book I got. Sweet dreams all :wub:

    Congrats on your steps and weight loss.
    My body does not agree with me but I am glad to be back to walking. With the work I did yesterday, I got almost 12,000 steps.

    The weight loss is from trying the carnivore diet this week. But I miss my salads and veggies so I am not sure this is the best diet for me. The more I research, the more I think it will not be good for me personally.

    I lost 78lbs slowly eating low fat and walking. That might be better for me. With thyroid issues, it is so hard for me to lose.

    Perry called and came over. He felt like I was wanting time away from him by me saying I was going to give him a break and stay home this week and get stuff done. When I complained that he did not even call, he just said the phone lines went both ways. I did not call because I just call if I need something and not just to chat. I may be too rigid on that one.

    I did not sleep at all last night. I think I was over tired maybe. I have been up since 4 doing a jigsaw puzzle trying to get sleepy. Now, I finished my coffee and it is time to get up and I am getting sleepy.

    Go figure!

    Happy Saturday all! I have no plans other than maybe eating a salad.
