Hi! Odd that I am starting the thread at 12:40 eastern time.

I'm killing a bit of time before a late check out, going to lunch and then heading up to Newark, NJ for a return flight home. I am happy to be going back home. This was a hard trip for some reason. Not sure if it was schlepping Blitz, or what. I've done it before several times, but don't remember it being as taxing. Age, perhaps????? LOL

I'd say a highlight of my trip was a rekindling of a friendship of Cairn friends. I spent more time with them this weekend than I have in the past 5-8 years. Was nice. Don't really think anything will blossom from it, but it was still nice to know it was easy to get back in the groove.

Lots buzzing around my head - dogs, weight, eating, life.... Not sure why, but I'm going with it and letting it take me where it will.

Hope everyone is having a good start to their weeks.

Late post for me! We got a long walk in then lots of organizing. We are getting food this afternoon then meeting with the realtor about the January-March rental paperwork.

I might have mentioned that Mike had all the hinges replaced on his kitchen cabinets because they were all breaking and made the doors stay ajar? The guy who did it put 3 sets of double cabinet doors for bottom cabinets on upside down (so the knobs are at the bottom)! Unbelievable! Didn't he look at them and realize something was wrong???

I am sitting in the car while Mike gets his overly long hair cut, then we are off to the food store. All healthy stuff to be purchased! We are both determined to lose weight this fall. Our target is 2 meals out a week and healthy eating in between. With the right meal planning and appropriate snacks I can do this!

Have a safe snd healthy Monday!

Busy day. Got a phone call early that a friend of mine's husband asked for a divorce. She's relieved (as am I as he's a gaslighting jerk face), but she's of course feeling all the emotions. But overall a positive conversation.

Then dickwad texted this morning and asked me to go hiking!! After no contact for nearly 2 weeks. I went. Hear me out... I still need friends in the area, I don't want it to be uncomfortable between us as we both live in this tiny town, and I know I'm not interested in him after the turkey shooting incident. So I went and it was fun. He sort of brought it up, but I didn't get into it. It wasn't uncomfortable. And maybe good practice being around men which normally makes me nervous. I wasn't nervous today because I didn't care what he thought of me. That was progress.

I haven't eaten particularly well the last two days and I feel kind of crappy (not much energy, headache). Need to stop doing that.

Peps, maybe having GOAT is just a better way for you to do dog travel?

Maybe he is just hiking material???

I had insomnia last night, ugh. Made it through the day just fine, but took a power nap when I got home. One benefit, while I'm napping, I'm not eating!
