The Loopy-O
CHEERY O
My goodness, what day is it??
<insert image of me with several little birdies circling about my head>
I am completely thrown off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, more than usual. :D
Would you believe I cannot remember if I had two cups of coffee this morning or just one? I'm babying my stomach with it so I was drinking it more slowly. On top of that, I have no clue as to what time it is let alone what day it is.
My stomach isn't killing me ATM so there is that.

How was everyone's New Year's Day?
Mine was quiet and loud at the same time. I did yoga session 2 of the week, another gentle stretching one. It would have been even gentler if I didn't have to find ways to move on my mat and avoid the dogs who thought it was a great place to lie down too. Nothin' like getting licked in the face by a dog during downward-facing dog. Hahaha!
It was loud inside my head and body. Tindamax is kicking my butt. Sound sensitivity and irritability were awful by dinner time which made me even more angry and irritated. I was angry that I felt that way, that I had Lyme, that I was unable to do anything about any of it. I did not want to do this again.:(
The kids came home in the afternoon which was awesome having them at the dinner table. Caitlyn goes back to work to work today and so do I. I'm only cleaning for my friend but tomorrow is the big field trip. I mixed up the bubble solution to make frozen bubbles. Now I have to wait to see if the weather will cooperate, it needs to be below freezing and not windy. As of this moment's forecast, I'm running 0 for 2. I also have frozen suncatchers planned- which won't freeze but at least we can make them and leave them outside until next month. Maybe the day they come back in Feb, it will be cold enough.

Hope that everyone is having a fab day! ♥
 
Still working on backing up the pictures. Getting errors on some of the files for whatever reason. So then I have to figure out where the backup stopped and compare the files that copied over to the ones on the original HD........such is life in the technology world, I guess! This will be my world today! Happy New Year to me, LOL!
HAGD
I hope that you were able to get the pictures all moved without too much extra hassle.

@AK_Tracy Wheew, that's a relief that your dogs did ok with the fireworks.
Congrats on reading 100 books!!!

@bcgal00 I'm so happy for you that you can enjoy coffee again. I'm keeping all of my fingers crossed that I get there soon, tea just doesn't do the trick. ;)
I wonder if Taz's hearing is starting to go- that was one benefit when Ray got old, the fireworks didn't bother her at all.
Hope you got everything done in the morning and had plenty of time to relax in the afternoon. Glad you are finally feeling better!

@BrightEyes I was one of "those people" who had neighborhood parties with fireworks (mostly ground stuff, some a few feet off but nothing big) and I want to apologize to everyone on my street for that. 90% of those people were *at* the parties but still. Now that I am older/crankier/more appreciative of a good night's sleep, I am sorry to you all.
I got my first LO of the year in the Gallery too, I did the Storybook challenge.

Oh Vicky, you gotta be kidding me about the 2019 photos! Did you find them?

@LaurieW How awesome to be at the beach!

@Cherylndesigns Woohoo, that new avatar is gorgeous!! I am so excited to see all of the photos you and Susie took. I hope that you aren't too exhausted from the flight and traveling. Who was happier to see you last night, Daisy or Sam? (All of my money is on Daisy LOL)

@melscrap Oh heck yeah, spending NYE on the beach sounds amazing!! Any day on the beach is amazing, TBH. So awesome to see you stop in here too


:grouphugyay:
 
Morning O fam! Yesterday we arrived early at the hotel and were able to check in early. Got 8,000 of my 10,000 steps in on the beach. A little chilly this morning, but planning on more walking the beach. Then I would like to hit the hot tub.
 
Morning, all... Only woke up once during the night - so hope that is an indication that I will be back to sleeping all night soon. Up at 7AM - grabbed my coffee and then in here to upload 3 LOs that were released today. I just saw CarolW's adorable Jan template and challenge and grabbed it. Now to find a kit to use with the template. ;)

@faerywings So sorry that you having such a rough time with the Lyme flare-up and meds. Glad the family are all back home and hope things get back to normal for everyone soon.

@laurie... glad all went well getting into your hotel room early. And happy to see you are joining us most days.

@Cherylndesigns I knew you and Susie would have a great time together! Can't wait to see some photos of your fun times.

Need more coffee and then get my shower. HAGD
 
Good morning ladies. I have started putting the household decor back in place and loaded up two bins of Xmas decor but need to find a big bag to put all the garland into. I bought quite a bit this xmas and now need to figure out how and where to store it. I am going to work on some jewelry later and maybe a bit of scrapping. Depends on how much time it takes to pack up the tree. I need to get out for groceries later. Need lots of staples, especially veggies, cottage cheese, yogurt and whole grain bread. I've never been much of a breakfast eater but I am going to try eating a bit in the morning, a regular lunch and then a light dinner. I don't think it is good for me to start the day with eat very little, building up the amount I eat as the day goes on. I know it should be the other way around. Not sure how successful I will be but I know I'll need to do some planning b/c I don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen in the morning. Maybe a breakfast casserole or make ahead oatmeal might be an idea. Suggestions welcome.

@faerywings I think Taz's hearing is ok, he hears us when he wants to :) I think it's more of a memory thing with him. He's happy and that's all I care about.

I need to get on with my morning, time to shower and get out with Remi before tackling the tree. HAGD everyone.
 
Good Morning!

Yes, we have to shut the dogs our of our room when we work out or you get lots of sloppy kisses. Sit ups are the worst or trying to plank. Those doggy tongues are so fast and before youre ready, you've been licked.
but planning on more walking the beach. Then I would like to hit the hot tub.
This sounds blissful. Especially followed by a hot tub.
Up at 7AM - grabbed my coffee and then in here to upload 3 LOs that were released today. I just saw CarolW's adorable Jan template and challenge and grabbed it. Now to find a kit to use with the template. ;)
Boy oh boy you've been busy. Cant wait to check out CarolW's template They're so fun.


I don't think it is good for me to start the day with eat very little, building up the amount I eat as the day goes on. I
You and I are on the same page. Today the decor comes down and house goes back to normal. I also cant eat first thing in the morning. I found adding collagen to my coffee is a great way to fuel my body and not have to eat. I use Trim Healthy Mama collagen but there are many brands out there. I put a scoop in my coffee x2 cups and its the same protein as if I ate breakfast. Before I was a coffee drinker I just wouldn't have anything until noon but maybe some water. Then I was a coffee drinker and that was fine but it didn't fuel me healthy. Now I treat my body how she needs to be treated. Collagen in the morning to get me to lunch at 11:30. Amazing change yet didn't take much and doesn't change my coffee flavor.

Today (as mentioned) will be putting my house back in order. Its time to put everything back where it belongs. Need groceries. I finished my personal layouts for the year so my book is ready for when the printing site has a sale. WOO HOO!!

Off to get more coffee. Have a wonderful day!

No to the 2019 photos! After finally getting the rest of them moved over, I didn't want to deal with it! No telling what happened, but that year of my life may be gone forever!
 
Good afternoon,
Spent the day with Ilene for a change. That was nice. We did breakfast, shopping, and then back to her house to play Qwirkle.
Now I'm home and ready to tackle some more re-downloads in my store.
Have a great evening!
 
@fairywings I took a second Covid test today on your recommendation and it was still negative. I had planned on going back to work today but my GI had other plans. So I called in sick again. Mark got home and took one look at me and took me to urgent care. Turns out I have the flu. it’s too late for tamiflu so I just treat symptoms as have been with OTC. She wrote me a note to stay home tomorrow. Normally I’d say yay! More scrapping time! But currently it’s yay, I don’t have to get up in the morning.
 
@AK_Tracy collagen in coffee sounds interesting. I’m another don’t eat much till lunch or even later sometimes, but coffee? Always and in volume. I’ll have to give it a try. Does it change the texture? Is there protein in collagen?
 
Hello, lOvies,

I'm still exhausted, but feeling my blood starting to flow the later it gets this evening. Two major airports plus mega delays on the last one - UGH, UGH, UGH. Have I ever mentioned that I hate flying??? LMBO

We had to meet Adrienne and Roger at the airport at 8:30 AM - that's the middle of the night to me. LOL Plus, I don't think I mentioned that I somehow managed to injure my foot on New Year's Eve Day? We were doing a hike in The Red Rock Canyon and all of a sudden, it felt like my foot just
blew out". I broke my LEFT foot many years ago, right before Steph's wedding, and I still have trouble with it from time to time, but this time it's my RIGHT foot. Anyhoo, when we got to the airport, I was definitely gimpy. Roger took one look at me and said "You're NOT walking - we're getting a wheelchair. I felt SO old, but what can you do? There ARE perks however - we always got to go ahead of all the other people. When we started to board our second flight, the gate agent asked if I could walk to the gate and Roger said "NO!" The walkway to the plane WAS really far, so I was glad he insisted they take me to the door of the plane.

@Cherylndesigns Woohoo, that new avatar is gorgeous!! I am so excited to see all of the photos you and Susie took. I hope that you aren't too exhausted from the flight and traveling. Who was happier to see you last night, Daisy or Sam? (All of my money is on Daisy LOL)

Thanks, Chris. Adrienne can do wonders with that big makeup bag of hers. We were going to a party and she wanted to blow my hair out and do my makeup. LOL It was a tossup, Chris @faerywings - I had a pet sitter, who actually stayed at my house the whole time we were gone, she's the niece of a good friend. She loved on my "babies" so much and sent me pictures everyday, but they were delirious when we all walked in the door last night. I haven't been away from them for a long time. When i went to Florida last time, Chuck was still here, so they had him here. I was trying to crawl inside their little heads and wondered if they thought I was gone, too. :( Even Kitty was so happy. I'm just glad I found a good person to stay with them. I was more worried about the cat because he's so spoiled to go oand is able to go out and come back in whenever he wants to.

@Cherylndesigns I knew you and Susie would have a great time together! Can't wait to see some photos of your fun times.

Kay @BrightEyes it was an "instant connection". When we spied each other in the Las Vegas airport, it was so wonderful - truly like we had know each other all our lives. She got there before us because our plane was delayed (shock) and was waiting at baggage claim. By the time we found her, they had changed our baggage claim about three times. LOL We FINALLY found each other, then had to wait forever for our bags. Adrienne was literally sitting on the ground, she was so tired. It had been a long day. We got out bags, then Susie asked me what I wanted to do. It was pretty late (our time) but she was willing to do whatever I wanted. I told her all I wanted was a coke. We got to the car and headed for the closest McDonalds. That coke tasted like gold.

Love to ALL and XOXO

Yes, the collagen is protein. I dont think it changes anything. I add collagen, monk fruit, and cream most mornings.

It's amazing how many steps you can get in on the beach without even noticing. And it's good for the soul too!

Feel better soon Amy!
 
Oh no @Cherylndesigns! So sorry about your foot! But lol about the wheelchair perks. My MIL is as good as blind and uses a white cane. We call it her magic wand, as she is getting so many perks while using it. Preference to board planes, ferries etc., entry to attractions and the like. I'm going to miss that when she goes back home :giggle4:
