VSG Maintenance Group
Saturday, February 8, 2025
119 - 5 days in a row. The longest streak of being at exactly the same weight since I started recording it daily in late July.
Beautiful day here yesterday and most days are expected to be similar over the next couple of weeks. My kids who are having snow and ice this weekend don't want to hear about it. Right now it is very foggy but should clear in a couple of hours.
Today we are walking early, water aerobics at 9, then maybe the local pool for a bit? DH and I are playing golf mid-afternoon.
Have a superlative Saturday!

And here I still am after my 3:15 am post this morning on yesterday's thread. And surprise surprise--there's no new news to report since then.
Nothing bad woke me or kept me up--it was just one of those nights. I'm proud to say I have now slogged through every puzzle the New York Times can conjure.
Is it the ****tail hour yet?

Good morning you early risers! Sorry sleep is alluding you Ann.
I longed to move somewhere warm for years. Not in the cards, but the stories you all share about changing locals takes some of the sting out. So many things to finagle when seasons of life change. I hope I'm ready for it. I've lived at the same address for 38 years, with the same man, worked for the same school district since 2001, had the same medical insurance since 2013, the same bank since 1992, the same church since 1985, the same dentist since 1996. I like to think I'm an adventurous explorer, but turns out I'm a deeply rooted Minnesotan!
Its snowing here, but it's hard to say if it is going to amount to much yet. I need to pack, so I'm probably not going to venture out and about. The weekend goes fast, and next week at work will be busy, so 2 days of cozy living is probably just the ticket.
I've worked for the same school district since 1994, was at the same school for 28 years before switching to music, had the same medical insurance for 37 years, had the same bank since 2001, lived in this house for 17 years, and my two BFFs gave me a rash of **** last night for even considering moving after retirement. Like you, I think I am a deeply rooted in my location.
The only thing I seem to change with any real regularity are dog show vehicles.
We must be creatures of habit! I worked for the same hospital system for 30 years! And I would still be married to Ben if not for that damn cancer!

I ordered my electric trike today, and will have a local bike shop put it together when it arrives.

I just don't have the balance I once had, and fear breaking bones again, on a bicycle. Off to meet friends for Galentines luncheon. Have a great day, y'all !
