Thursday Morning

Good Morning OFF,

Slept late this morning.  Phillies are in Los Angeles, so the game didn't end till after 1:00 a.m. here.  They lost.  

I actually accomplished some chores yesterday, so I'll keep working today, and see if I can do the same.  

This afternoon, Colleen is taking the kids to the library.  Someone from the Department of Natural Resources is going to do a talk with kids, and give out trees to plant.  Earth Day celebrations.  I'll go over and join them.  Should be cute.

Did I tell you all about the baby chicks Colleen got the kids?  They can't keep them after they're full grown.  City ordinance.  Aunt Jenn and Uncle Ty have a chicken coop, and will be raising laying hens, which these are.  I told Colleen about the chicks my sister and I had as kids.  My uncle raised them, and then my parents slaughtered them for dinner.  I was so upset.  

Not much else going on here.

Hugs, Love and Prayers,

Trish

Hi Trish and my OFF family:

Hope the chicks don't get eaten ... maybe they'll be layers. I know it would be tough to see them slaughtered. 

I was up kind of late too ... watched the White Sox win, then watched the Blackhawks' hockey game go into OT and they won, so it was a good day. Tried to unclog my vacuum cleaner but couldn't get far enough into the hose to unclog it ... even used a screw driver to unscrew the bottom but that didn't do enough. So I couldn't vacuum. I'm going to have to take the vacuum cleaner out to be repaired. Too much of Juliette fur in there. LOL

Well, not much happening here. Back to work tonight. Have a good day everyone.

Good afternoon Trish, Eileen,  and OFF family, 

I just got back from the gym. Had a great workout, 90 minutes on the recumbent stepper/cross trainer, a total. Of 8000 steps. I am doing really well with it and walking much better too. Still need the walker for stability. My right knee is so stiff and due to the arthritis i have trouble straightening it. So i kind of feel off balance.  But it is coming and i will eventually get back to using just a cane.  Weight loss is slow but steady,  some days just a 10th of a pound a day and progress is progress.

The weather is fantastic today. Mild breeze and temps in the 50s. It is suppose to rain tomorrow. I will be out dodging raindrops while running some more errands.

I hope you all are well and having a great day.

Oh Eileen, i will be watching the Blue Jackets Pittsburgh game Saturday. Given the game last night, it should be a good one.

Well i have to get some paperwork together for mailing tomorrow.  

Till next time, Blessings and Nameste. a 

Checking in to see how all are doing and find it quit today.  I have been busy.  They youngest DD came home with the SIL for the Easter Weekend from TN.  I only did the elliptical two days as I was cleaning like the energizer bunny.  I was running up and down stairs, sweeping, mopping on my hands and knees and stripping floors with just a 3M scoring pad and elbow grease.  I was wall and made beds and just did hard core spring cleaning and cooking.  Eileen my vacuum died while I was trying to clean too.  I found this little canister vac still in the box that I got the daughter but she wanted the one I had instead to get up some but, it didn't work on the carpets well. 

I was sure I had broken the 2-3 pounds I have been at for months.  I sure did, GAINED 5 pounds.  I am so depressed.  I realize I did eat things I shouldn't but, thought I was working it off.

This is the place were I always give in a say what the heck.  I am working so hard not to give in.
