Good Morning!

The dang cat got me up before 4 o'clock. She jumped down off the bed at 3 and I was hopeful that she would come downstairs and leave me alone. HA! It's gonna be a long day.

I'll be heading to the golf course at 7:30 for the tournament. It's only in the 50's and will be cloudy all day. Not ideal, but better than pouring rain. They say it might get up to the 70's, but I'm doubtful. I hope the course isn't too soggy after yesterday's rain. There are 152 golfers in this tournament....that's a LOT. It could be mayhem!

---------

Trig....Oh boy....here comes DD for the summer! It's going to be different for you, for sure. I hope her finals go well.

Jaz....I hope you had a good weekend and did some good thinking about your next steps. I have no doubt that you will land on your feet.

Nic...Back to DE this week! I'm sure you've been missing it.

---------

Well, I have to figure out what to have for breakfast. I need some good protein this morning. They will have donuts and other crap before the tournament, but I'm not going to eat that stuff. We'll have a big lunch after we play, but that won't be until 2 this afternoon. Yeah......LONG day. Let's go!

Good Monday Morning Ladies!

It looks like this is a busy week on tap for us all!

Nic- Yay on getting back to DE. I know you have been itching to get to your nest! Who all is coming on Thursday? Cool you can go ahead of time and prep, get food, and the house set up and all!

I never thought of an Armadillo in terms of batten down the hatches! I like it, very appropriate. I can relate to that at times. Yup- like it. Do you have another spirit animal? LOL

Trig- You up in Sylva? I swear I was all over that tiny town and didn't see a collage! It isn't all that big! Super cool though I have now been there and know about it. LOL. Yup I bet the camping there is just STELLAR!!!!!! Beautiful country for sure. Not far from Ashville either!

So kiddo home for the summer. WOW where did the year go? I swear, we blink and another year down! kinda scary!
You taking the RV?

Lori- I beat you up at 3 am and never went back to sleep! OMG it is not natural to get up that early! I don't even have a kitty! Oh, the adventures of Gabby! Was she prowling? What does she DO outside??????

Enjoy your game! Is your P playing today? It is raining here today!
No nap for us! LOL
---------------------------------------------------------------

It was rough getting up at 3 to pee than I couldn't go back to sleep. My mind woke up and it was over! I finally got up at 5 am after tossing and turning.

No nap for me. I am expected to get my files updated and all these report done before I leave. Thats fine. I am not going to be traveling as much I can tell you that! They have me going to Columbia one more time. I may or may not do that! Depends.

The thing that kept me up tossing and turning is not the job situation. It is the impending Root Canel that is going to happen this week. It makes me weak in the knees. I have a horrible fear of dentists! I literally shake in the chair- it is awful! There is not enough meds to help trust me!

I guess it goes back to my early experiences with a dentist. He had Parkinsons- and dropped an instrument down my through. Then I had a failure Root Canel X3. Said I would NEVER have another one. Well fast forward 20 years and here I am. OMG- anything but that! I would rather give birth than sit in a dentist chair. I just need to pull up the big girl britches and JUST DO IT!
I might do a shot of whiskey right before I walk in. Yeah......
Enough of that..........

My notebook is growing with ideas, and places to look, things to do, and cool stuff for the NEXT. I have some stuff to follow up on.

WOE- This week is a reboot- and clean it up week. I have gotten "sloppy" over the weekend with my eating. Time to reel it in.
Eats- Beef patties today as many as I want. Beef and salt. PERIOD! RESET.

Well got to "plug in"- on the clock now for sure!

Lator gators!

Hey all-

I'm in DE! DH punted me out yesterday, to his credit. I was shifting into meltdown mode, he is working like crazy prepping for a trial. I felt guilty leaving DD29 but bebe is almost three weeks and I have been there pretty much daily. She, bebe and SoIL will all be here in DE on Thursday so it's a little test time for them, I guess.

Got here yesterday around 7 PM- visited my Mom and KBE first. Ended up sending KB out as I got bebe to fall asleep so that was nice.

Lori- enjoy golfing today!
Jaz- big hugs to you over the root canal. Given that background I would be worried too. Can you get a script for a Xanax or something, just one?
Trig- can't believe summer break is already about to begin. I hope it goes well for you all. You will figure it out! Does DD have her PT job on lock yet?

Just going to chill today- I'm on the porch, feet up, and relaxing. May go sit at the beach for a bit- not in a swimsuit but just hang out and listen to the waves. god I've missed it here!

Good Morning!

Up & have to soon get ready for the golf course again. We had a good time at the golf tournament yesterday. No prizes were won, but still a good time. I'm a bit tired this morning....slept in until 6:30!

--------

Nic....I'm picturing you enjoying your morning on your lovely porch. How nice to have your family coming later this week.

Trig.....How's it going? A busy week for you!

Jaz.....Hope you get those reports handled and begin to zip up this job so you can move on. I know you have lots of planning to do.

--------

Easy dinner tonight...burgers. Have a good one!

Good Morning!

Quickie post for me! I overslept till 730! I am supposed to clock in at 8! That isn't going to happen, more like 830. They count billable hours anyway. Just reports today. LOLOL

Lori- Whoot have fun on the course today! Glad you have some good weather to play!

Do you toss your burgers in the air fryer? You just eat them as is? I like the Primal Ketchup and stone ground mustard. Yummy. Sometimes a dollop of salsa. Watching my cheese at the moment!

Nic- OMG you sound just like me when I am GONE from my beloved beach and then return. There is something so life giving about water. Actually, I read something you will finding interesting about beach/ water/ sand/ earth. So have you heard of "Grounding"?
I know this is going to sound very "out there"..... But some studies are being done regarding going barefoot and energy...... so apparently there IS a correlation between large bodies of water, electricity and absorbed energy through your feet. Which is why some people go barefoot on the beach and just feel better. Also, if you look at the Native Indians they believed in the "grounding"...... I know whoooo whoooo stuff.
It was something though that caught my eye. They also said that is why some people feel so energized right after a hard thunderstorm- all the energy in the air. For some of us that are more sensitive to things of that nature it does make sense.

All this to be said I know you are super happy to be "home". Nod and raised glass to you in all that. It is so tranquil to hear the ocean. Super cool.

Who all is showing up for Mother's Day weekend? AWESOME!!!!

Trig- It is so fun now having been to Sylva to "see" you puttering around up in the mountains like that! Have you been to that cool General store on main?
Did you say you took the RV? I am assuming the Chop is with you. Update when you can!
---------------------------------------------------------

My weight is UP there I am UP 5 pounds. I am thinking cheese and inflammation. I feel Bloaty and "Heavy"!!!! I am SO short that 5 pounds can make me feel frumpy! Urghhhhhhh
I was comfort eating meatballs and melted cheese. I know I know......... Yup- I SO know. Not going to beat myself up over it. Just can't go up anymore and I want it off ASAP!

My tooth work is scheduled for Thurs. and then again for the following Thursday. Root canal and then getting a crown= CHA CHING. But teeth are non-negotiable. It is a Molar to boot! URGHHHH

Going to work today and then head out about 4 to watch Lilbit play softball. She is just the sweetie....... I know I am biased but OMG she is just as beautiful and smart as can be. (she knows this) LOLOL My grandson is just all boy. As with all boys- simple creatures. LOLOLOL love being a Gigi

Speaking of Mother's day- I am going to hang out with my DD and the kids Saturday. Then the FOLLOWING Saturday I will go to Atl. to see my mom. (She was not happy about that)- oh well.... I am doing the best I can do right?!?!?

I am a good 3 weeks into doing my iodine. I can't say it is "doing" anything per say. I dunno.... maybe?!?!? I am only doing 2% 4 drops in my coffee. I guess I don't know what to expect. I was thinking more energy! I HAVE noticed I SWEAT more..... so maybe it is upping my metabolism! It can swoop these 5 pounds right off my belly! LOL

I picked up 2 pounds of ground chuck for burger patties, and 3 breasts for grilled chicken. I love it pounded out with that mayo spread and then airfried- Holy smokes good!

Are any of you using that advanced AI program for 20 bucks a month? It is a virtual assistant for you and is good for writing and so much more. I know they are using it now in collages and business. I am thinking of trying it for writing assistance when I am stuck.

Time for coffee refill.
Time to serve the man
Going into auto pilot for 8 hours! LOL

Later!
