Yup- The sun is out!!!!!! Saturday Morning about 9

Trig- Sorry you were "feeling it" yesterday. I was sorta that way too. I am just not READY for cold and blustery! Oh that rain yesterday OMG- Pelted is the right word! It hammered the townhouse here! I thought it was coming through the walls! Gray all day and COLD.
I can't believe you "let" the kiddo talk you out of a beach trip for mountains and "snow"- urghhhhhhhh. Meh I guess you gotta give sometimes. Better to take the beach when a tad warmer. Nah...... I will take it ANYTIME!

Yes, we all could do a massive binge as if it's our last dinner! Trust me on that. That is why we all came about! Although we ended up as friends- FOOD brought us here because it was hard on our own. I know I reached the end of my binging rope and wanted accountability! Thankfully this is a safe place to get it.

I really know that when we do go off the rails we never get "lost" because we come back here. I also think that you are right that CHANGE in lifestyle, habits, eating changes too. You did not become Carnivore over night. It was a process we all watched. I remember you were trying this and that- and nothing seemed to stick, until Carnivore. Then you hit your sweet spot. It is a perfect fit! Maybe you were just "ready" at this time of your life and it's very simple!

You have done that life style well- it suits you. Let me speak for me, I know that what worked well when I lost all that weight before, fish and veggie is not working for me now. I have a taste more for beef. Back "then" I never ate red meat, and I was lower fat. That does not work for me now. I love my steak, and bacon is natures candy!!!
So yea I am tweaking and tightening. Remember what Al Roker said- "I am one hamburger and French fry away from gaining back all my weight". He really gets it, all of us do!
Ok enough rambling on food!

Well- yea......I do have KING DADDY crab legs in my freezer! I got a box of those when I was gifted with that money to buy food. So a box of King Crab hit my freezer as well as 5 tenderloins, and pounds and pounds of hamburger. I am still eating on.
Trust me when those bad boys are gone- this Wall Street babe still will not have them! HAHA

Lori- - yup I say the word hamstring and it rears it's ugly head! URGHHHHH- I only brought it up because I "feel" my PF when I do alot of walking.
I really need a plan for it before I hit up St. Simon as that is where I got hurt with it- beach walking.
Good on you to have a massage therapist to see! They are shutting all that down again here. Just as an FYI............

Your tenderloin sounds amazing. You said you shop at like 6/7 am- is anyone in the store at that time?!?!?!? You are one early bird!!!

I bet you are getting rain today that hit us yesterday day. You and Nic both!!!

Nic- I am imagining you are burning up your Kindle!!! Maybe one of these days I will get one. I just love holding a book. However, with the way I bounce around I don't like toting them around! So I may have to concede.

How is everyone in the Nic household? Do you all have to be "retested"? Are you the one to run interference and bring stuff to everyone? Urghhhhhh- how does that work?
Girl I feel for ya! Fingers crossed you all skate by. Lordy knows you and the hubby can't afford to get "IT". None of us can!
How is DS doing? Is he feeling better?

I agree that it is great that you have the rest of the year off to regroup. It is too stressful to deal with all of that at this time! Hard enough having a houseful back under your wings!

Don't forget to take care of you! Even the flight attendants tell ya to put on your oxygen first. I guess that wasn't the best metaphor!!! sighhhhh- oh well you get it! I just couldn't think of anything snazzier.

Blue- we can remove that DOT now! - Urghhhhhh on you and hubby in different parts of an apt! I bet that went over well.....NOT..... -
I am however so relieved that the test came back neg! A fever isn't ALWAYS presenting with COVID, so it sorta sucks your hubby now has to go back.
Maybe he can wait till Spring!

I bet you have had a beautiful Fall up there!!!!! It has been for the most part lovely here too! I am not ready for cold- no way!
I agree I think those days of sitting outside and chatting up friends and neighbors is over, for awhile anyway.
I be you have your tree up and your patio decorated up so pretty. Even if you aren't seeing your son (good thing, and agree), it is still nice to decorate!

So I am hoping all is well with him and he is settled. It is a rough rough time for these "kids". Well for lots and lots of people especially in the hospitality industry. I am hopeful that we will be like the roaring 40's when this THING is over! It will be one huge get out and dance kind of gig! Stores and entertainment will be crowded and people will be light!
I know you will get the reference to the Roaring 40's that came after the Flu/and depression of the 20-30's. We will get back on our feet again.

It is interesting to think about what our new "normal" will look like. It don't think it can be the same. It has changed the way we do business I think forever. It's not all bad either.
Speaking of...... are you done "writing"? How is that going?

You have been missed and we are glad you are back! Short or long- put your dot down. Your hiatus is OVER!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I know you all saw the email I sent. No need truly to respond. Just that I wanted you to understand the back story to my week.

Moving on.... Yes I agree that St. Simon for me is magical. I can't think of a better place to hibernate than in drappy moss oak trees, and the beach. Remember I was one that walked the Boardwalk in DEC. in Delaware!!!! Talk about howling winds and cold off the water!!! YIKES.

I have NEVER experienced wind like I did there. It is normal. I see how they get those Noreasterns all the time! The winds just blow there.
Those people there are sturdy people. I do miss that crab cake restaurant that was down at the end of the block! Happy hour 2 times a week= 2 crab cakes, 1 wine= 10 dollars out the door. They knew how to make them too! I would get some to go as well. They make them Maryland style. They use mayo and egg as a binder- little to zero breading.

Yup- had a great visit with the kids/littles this week. OMG always outta the mouth of babes. I just adore the innocence of kids! So "lil bit" wanted held by her Gigi. She she is tracing her fingers all over my face- ya I know yuck. But she is whispering in my ear too. She says "someday I will be a big girl" I will have a puppy, a bra, and a car."- YUP that's MY GIRL!!!! Sounds like a plan I say!!!
Goodness they do the heart wonders!

We are being very careful with our get togethers. The kids don't take the littles into stores, play dates, anything really. Everything has been just hiking outdoors. My DD has to be careful with the youngest as she is a preemie. So they "get it".

So as long as they all stay healthy I will see them next week. I will meet them in the botanical gardens. It is supposed to get "warm" 50's again and sunshine next week.

Today I will walk with pup after it warms up a bit. She needs to move that hip. I need to move mine!!! HAHAHAHAH

Today is salmon, and shrimp. I have jumbo shrimp I am eating my way through, and slaw if wanted. I end up tossing so many bags of slaw I just don't eat. So today is an eat it or lose it. Also I notice that is it smells funny I toss it. I am so funny about that.

I have a Zoom interview with the company that FINALLY got back with me. I will be "presentable" = not in PJ's and hair in messy bun. I might even put on earrings! HA, lipstick of course.
It will be interesting to hear what they have to say.

I am not meaning to be funny or conceited- but I am so over qualified for this position, I could do it in my sleep. That doesn't mean however I won't consider it. It would just be so boring and unchallenging. I will keep an open mind! But I will tell ya the pay has to be there. I looked up their pay scale.
I surely hope they aren't insulting. I get it though- their are so many people out of work all together that we are in different time. If I want big $$$ I have to go back to the facilities. They are paying the bucks.

Anyway, took back 90% of what came from Amazon yesterday to Kohls. I was surprised to see so many people "shopping". I wore my N95 just in case and was glad I did. Who goes out SHOPPING?!?!? I mean seriously.............
I got in and straight out the door- touching nothing. They had a line to buy STUFF wrapped around the isle. OMG NO WAY......

Ok- done with my ramble. Today I am on track. You know..... What TRIG said....EVERYDAY we must make that effort. Everyday!
Yesterday was yesterday- Today is a fresh new beginning. The sun does come out!
