Daily Check In Thread For All... #145

Hi all.

Really glad you have stopped smoking Joyce! This is something that I must also tackle soon , or it may tackle me...:). I am planning to start a reduction regime very soon. Cutting back on my cigarette
intake by reducing my cigarettes to ( 1st ) 20 a day , then after a period ( 1month? ) I will reduce it again by 2 or 3 cigarettes. I hope that when I get to about 8 or 10 cigarettes a day I can stop altogether. I am rooting for you.

Hi Happyturtle , Andy , Joan, getting by , IndianaBoy , and everyone.

Hey Andy , I understand your loneliness. It really is tough to be alone. I am in the same boat. Hope your mood turns around for you
soon.

Derwood.

I found the groceries which I paid for and thought I left at the store! I put them away in the wrong place. On the up side I did carry upstairs a large cottage cheese, large yogurt, 7 medium sized cans and some other items so that was good.

Put the air on at 8:30 am and this is not good breathing weather...very humid here. Want to do my wash so here goes...trek downstairs and in the hallways where there is no air conditioning.

So long folks, keep treking!

Hi all - Congratulations and good wishes to all, especially words of support to all quitting smoking.
Wow, Karen, that is very cool weather. Do you like it that cool?
Joan - glad you found the groceries. Going up and down stairs for wash can be a workout. Can you take a break in the pool?
UA - good luck with your term. Trying to break down tasks into little parts sometimes helps me.
Andy , I hope you are feeling better.
Take care everyone

hi.

Good morning all!!! Early here. Going back to bed probably.

I hope you all have a great day. Will check back in later...

Hugs, Karen...

Thank you Derwood. What color is Lupin? I like cats. But have dogs...

I am glad you got your nightmare problems sorted out. Hopefully they will be over. And the cold sweats too.

I hope you all have a good day. Got to run to town for a bit.

Hugs, Karen...

Hi all

Glad you had a few good days Derwood, I'd love some of those at the moment. Although I had picked up a little last night, so shouldn't complain. It's these darn mornings, always lowest point for me. Hopefully I'll pick up again today. Dad is coming visiting tonight and staying the weekend, should hopefully be nice.

HI EVERYONE,

Bought strawberries 3 days ago, eating them like candy!

heat is getting me down.


Both our cars are are starting starting to cost substantial money.
We are looking at a 2500.00 bill if we take of it. Ontop of a still outstanding medical bill for me of 975.55. Visa is close to 2,000.

SO, tomorrow we are going to go see a friend and lease 2 new cars. I have decided that this is the economical choice. Added all
bills for the last 2 years, much more than 2 car payments a month

Credit is good, so we will get payments around 170.00/mo on each car. Turn in 3yrs later get another new car. No worries of it breaking down, hardly.

Happy Holiday weekend All
Trina

Wow! I say that because I woke only an hour ago with a depressed mood , but I forced myself out of bed and have drawn a bath ( haven't soaked yet ) and am enjoying my coffee. Luv my coffee :)

Karen , Lupin is mostly white with some grey tabby patches. She is a big girl ( I say she is full-figured ) and has three extra toes on each front paw. Very cute. Polydactyl is what the extra paws are called. I love dogs too. Most any critter is a friend of mine.

Hi HappyTurtle and everyone. hope you ( we ) all have a positive
day.

Derwood ( aka Darren ) and Lupin ( aka my sweet little buddy ).

Joan and Andy , thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad you are getting some swimming in Joan. Very good type of exercise. Andy , I hope you get at least a few days of relief, and that your fathers visit goes well.

Beautiful day here. Kind of hot but not too bad. Suppose to get thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight. We need rain always. But after the rain, another dry spell. Bummer.

Lupin sound so cute. I love cats with extra fat paws. Extra toes. I had a white long haired cat when I was a kid. He had extra toes and an outie belly button. I named him Casper. He was a good cat.

I hope everybody has an extra good day.

Getting ready for a nap I think. Either that or another walk which is probably the best option.

Hugs, Karen...

I sent up an appointment for an oil change and did bills and checking account today. The drug store called my "provider" and I got six more months of my high blood pressure medicine. They are very diplomatic and I'm glad to get them to handle it for me.

Find myself to be sweltering, heat does not help my arthritis or breathing. On the other hand, went to drug store and found a great sale on cough drops which was nice.

Hi All. I want to share that I had a really good day today. My sixteen year old daughter has been at camp this past week. It is really a mission camp organized by non-Catholic Christian churches throughout multiple towns in our state. Long story short, I volunteered at the camp Sunday and today. It felt so wonderful to be a part of something and be among caring people. I was actually thrilled when they gave me a group t-shirt today. I literally fit in with the crowd.

Also, after sixteen years of therapy, I have actually kicked into gear some of the suggestions she has infinitely been telling me. I am just "a little bit stubborn 😉." So, I don't know how long this high will last, but I just wanted to share it!

Have a great night everyone!
