Good afternoon Vickie....so sorry your landscaper has not come to finish his job. Tell him you will be posting a complaint to the BBB and maybe even the newspaper to complain of his serve. He will get there. After that work is done I hope you can find someone else. Save yourself some stress!!!
Sorry about your neighbors but I agree with you. Someone maybe even a child could get severely hurt. Please do take care of this. That dog needs to be gone from that home. You have given her more then ample time to take care of it. I would call it in now. She is just making excuses to keep you texting each other so she can keep him longer.
I am glad the hail storms missed you. God was watching out for you.
I hope you can get out in the garage and get things off the floor. Then you can keep your car in there and safe from the storms.
You do have quite a list of things that need to be done!!
Congratulations on your weight loss. I have been trying everything even walking. One pound up and down is all I am getting....grrrrrrrr!!!
I am so happy that you are back to sleeping in your own bed and having a peaceful day again!! Enjoy!!!!!
As for me.... nothing much here. I am waiting for Fran to get here soon and we will get my shopping done. It is only 37 degrees right now. Damp and cloudy more rain later today. April's are always so awful in MN. The weather changes three times a day!! I is very frustrating. I need SUNSHINE!!!
Prayers for our wonderful OFF Family and their families. Special prayers for those in need.
Have a wonderful day everyone...love and hugs to all...connie d
Good morning sistas!
It seems my day ahead will be filled with battles. Ugh. I hate conflict and tension.
I am on a mission this week to get my landscaper to come back and finish the damn job he started! I have been beyond patient with the process. It's been dragging on for weeks now. I need my sprinkler system installed and the mulch put in to finish my flower beds. I came home yesterday after a four-day absence and had to water, water, water! This is not acceptable. If he wants to get paid, he'd better come back and finish the damn job.
And I'm afraid my exchange with my neighbor about her dog didn't go well last night. We exchanged three texts back and forth and I must say that her response to my first text was very defensive and immature. I won't bore y'all with all the things that were said. But I'm in an untenable position here. I have witnessed first-hand how aggressive her "family pet" is. Her dog attacked me in my own yard. I know they love their dog, but I must protect my family. I'm afraid it's going to get ugly, and I don't want that, but I will not--CAN NOT--compromise my family's safety. I'm just praying that after a night of reflection, Bree has calmed down now and is willing to be reasonable.
So, now for the good news! I worked very hard to stick to my diet while I was gone and this morning my scale showed another loss! 194! That's 14 pounds! Whoopee!
Also, San Antonio got hit with another big hail storm last night, but by some miracle, it missed us here in Cibolo. That's twice now. I am so thankful. I still cannot get my car in the garage, but that's my next big project. I need to go buy metal shelving and put it all along one wall of my garage. Then I can hopefully, finally, get all of these boxes stacked up (to the ceiling, if need be) neatly on the shelving and out of the house and up off the garage floor!
I also have some pressing bookkeeping that needs doing, and I need to figure out how to get the software I need loaded onto my new computer and get my files transferred. And I bought some paint (last year!) for my patio tables and I need to get those painted before the weather and elements completely destroy them.
And I'm really looking forward to picking up my sewing again! I already have the fabrics. I need to make my dust ruffle, my duvet cover, my pillow shams, and my bedroom curtains. I also still have the fabric to make the seat covers for my kitchen chairs. However, I have promised myself that the garage project must come first. For one thing, I need to do that before it gets so unbearably hot again. I can sew all summer in the AC. I need to work in the garage NOW while the temps are reasonable.
But first, I must take my walk! I'm pumped about my WL and want to see it continue. If I can just lose 30 more pounds I will be back to 164, which is where I was before we went to Belize two years ago. My immediate goal now is to get below 190. That's just four more pounds!
So, lots going on. It is so quiet and peaceful in my house this morning. Just me and Mom and little Patty Kate. It's wonderful!
Love you all!
Vickie
Im cold wrapped up in a blanket! Vinnie comes to me and says "It's a sunny day Grammy" " Let's play"!
Im going to take her to the Children's museum today.
So that's my story, I think Carl made me coffee!
Talk on, I'll check with u later!
Carla
Hi sistas!
Honey, I'm home! LOL! Oh, so very happy to be here this evening. Tonight I get to sleep all night in my own bed all by myself!!! First time in more than 10 WEEKS! Whoop!
I went with Carrie this morning and we got little Caralee all settled in at the daycare. It was very hard on Carrie, but Caralee didn't seem to mind at all. Got a text from Carrie a little while ago, so I know they are all right, but she hasn't called yet to tell me about Caralee's first day. I'm sure it was fine. I like the nursery and the ladies in there, and I got a good feeling about the whole place.
So, Mom and Patty Kate and I drive home, and the first thing I needed to do was get out there and star****ering all my plants. I'm out in the back yard and GUESS WHO CAME OUT OF THE NEIGHBOR'S BACK DOOR AND CHARGED THE FENCE?!?! Yes! That damn dog! The one she PROMISED me would be gone this weekend.
Oh, why oh why oh WHY don't people do what they say they're going to do???
Well, I sent a note/text to Bree informing her that she broke our agreement and that having that dog here is unacceptable. I informed her that I will do whatever I have to do to protect myself and my family and asked her to honor our original agreement about removing the dog. Haven't heard a word back from her yet. I don't want to have "war" with my neighbors. But I will call the authorities and report the dog bite if she doesn't respond to me by tomorrow. Then they will come and remove the dog to quarantine for 10 days. And then I don't know what. That dog is dangerous and I refuse to live in fear of walking around in my own yard.
Please pray that we can resolve this conflict peacefully between us without a lot of hard words and hard feelings and getting the authorities involved.
Oh, and you remember that I took my new computer to Waco so that Carrie could get the Baylor techies to install new software? Poop! They discontinued that program. So I hauled my new computer up there for nothing and I still don't have any software on here, only the internet. I'll have to work on it this week.
So, my lovely bubble tub is calling my name. I'm going to bubble, then jammies, then some TV and BED!!! It is SO good to be home!
I'll have to read all the posts I missed and catch up tomorrow. Love you all!
Vickie
Hi Ladies,
I'm getting on here late but I had a busy day. I took my one friend to the bank and we went to several stores. Then I went to visit my other friend that had a heart attack and I took her to a Dr's office and the pharmacy since she can't drive for 6 months. Then she asked me if I wanted to work for her again doing housework. I have a few days to think about it. It was really nice here today. But tonight the predicting storms and get cold again.
Trish sorry about your mom being nasty toward you. I'll pray for your friend. Have a good trip home.
Connie sorry you're having a lot of pain again. Rest up as you can.
Eileen glad you got to the y. Your shoulder sounds painful. Have a good night at work.
Jeannie glad you had a easier day at work.
Carla enjoy the rest of your vacation with Vinnie.
Thoughts and prayers for everyone.
Love and hugs,
Yvonne
Hi again Eileen.....I am so proud of you getting to the "Y". I hope you can find a Chiropractor or someone to help with that shoulder problem.
Sorry about the Ortho bill. If they don't send a bill how do you know what to pay? You are right about that! I hope they get it resolved so you can get in and see someone. I hate that insurance companies can decide who, when, and what they will pay!! Not everyone is lucky enough to be wealthy!
I pray you can get your bills in order and paid up so your life can be easier. It must be awful having to think about that all the time. It sure doesn't help your stress any. I am so sorry.
Have a good night at work....remember it is your Friday!! Wy are you only getting one day off this week? I am so damn forgetful!
Love you...hugs....connie d
The Y was great, but my shoulder still hurts. Don't know what is going on with that. We were doing an exercise when the shoulder popped out and in. The instructor told me about a chiropractor she goes to, but it's an hour drive. Don't know if I want to go that far. I might have to look for another chiro that takes my insurance.
Just tried to get an appointment with the ortho docs I go to about my right shoulder; she was going to make an appointment but had to send me to patient services first about "a possible balance." Well, since they never sent me a bill yet, there would have been no way I could have known about it to pay it. Anyway, I got a voicemail and left a message. Maybe I'll just go to urgent care some day.
I have so many bills.
Hello Eileen....I am sorry that the man makes your working there that much harder. What an old grouch!! I think it may be time for an attitude adjustment from his boss. If that doesn't work he needs out of there!! I can't believe they let him get away with that kind of harassing behavior. Your job is stressful enough without dealing with him too. Sorry you are shorthanded at work on top of everything else.
I hope your time at the "Y" was relaxing and helpful. I hope it helps with all the stress you are dealing with. Does your shoulder do that often? OUCH!!! What does your Orthopedic doctor say about that? I can't imagine how painful that must be.
Enjoy your beautiful weather. It has been awful here for days!
Love and hugs to you....connie d
Hello Carla....have a nice time with your cousin this afternoon. I hope you find a fun place to go to for lunch!
As always Vinnie will be sad to see you go on Friday.
Vinnie isn't the only one, I am not wanting to get dressed this morning either!! I have showered and been in fresh PJs all weekend and today! Some days just end up that way!
You are lucky to get that FitBit from Verizon. I should ask my daughter about that. They have me on their Verizon plan.
I hope you enjoyed your coffee, I sure did!
Love and hugs to you...connie d
