I don't want to be totally AF......,

[ToMyHealth]

Been MIA as it's crazy busy. And we have phone service and Comcast tv service at the house but no internet. I spend more time at house. Still eat and sleep at condo. Well, it's 2:45a so should say "try to sleep". That is the worst thing about AF. For me.

Frances, congrats on your team. Has to make you feel good.

Stopped to chat with bag boys about lending some muscle. Met a new guy who was all in. Said he has a truck and access to a trailer. He said we can do it all in one fell swoop. Proceeded to give me his name/phone no. This will happen on Monday as our golf courses are closed Mondays for the summer. I keep telling myself to quit dragging all this stuff over, but I can't help myself. It seems frugal to exercise when I could be packing, hauling stuff up and down stairs, and unpacking. I'm hitting 10K steps everyday with no actual walks or DVD workouts.

Soon I will chat like a normal person. No more talk of closings, moving.

Hi everyone! Congratulations TMH! I hope everything from here onwards goes smoothly!

Doing well here - I just got notice that my team is receiving a nice award in July so that made my day!

I had a wine with dinner when I was out at a restaurant with my husband on Friday evening, and then found myself thinking about having a glass at home Saturday evening. I didn't have one though. I need to give away this unopened wine I have in my cupboard - it's been there since I went to that concert with my friend - knowing it's there made me think, hey I can just open it and have one. But I don't want to get back into that. I should either give it away or dump it. It's cheap wine anyway!

I don't know anything about Nal - I hope it works for you AG!

Talk about cutting it close. I finished wiring the money to the title co. at 11:00a for a 1:00p closing. They served cookies. I Was fasting til 2:00, we were winding it up and I broke fast with a delicious small choc chip cookie.
Then at 5:00 sellers who moved into,their new home yest called and wanted us to come over for a drink. I would have rather gone to the house we just bought. So today I am going to load car with some things & go over & check out closets & see what they left in addition to the furniture. Meaning dishes, rugs, tablecloths, etc. know that she got all that stuff in the home they bought. That way I will have some idea of what all I can leave in condo.

How's everyone else doing? AG, can you explain how the Nal works? Is it a prescription?

[actiongirl46]

Hi - Yes, I am in education. I don't teach but work for a grant and am able to take a reduced contract. I love it, it is great for my mental health.

Well, spending time on the golf course or the ball park sounds like great fun to me too! TMH, I haven't had to log on twice. Not sure why that is happening for you . . .

MWO is very quiet these days!! Hmm . . . I'm really glad you guys came over to the steppers thread too.

I'm still taking the Nal and logging my drinks. Just starting Week 3. I haven't seen a whole lot of progress yet but they say it takes 3 -4 months. Sun told me to just let the Nal do its thing . . . I don't have much to lose so that is what I'm doing. Trying to trust the process.

Have a great rest of your week! AG

Been meaning to ask, does anyone else have trouble posting without logging on 2X? I log on, post, then it tells me I am not logged in so I redo it and then usually my post shows up.

[ToMyHealth]

Sounds like a full summer, Frances. We just have our week in Canada the end of this month and then I have a 50th reunion in MN in October. Not sure if I will go.
Going to try get a game of golf in today. Then tomorrow a.m. We want a final walk through the house, closing at 1:00, made hair appt for Tues, have dermatology follow up on Wed. & will start hauling totes over to house, put things away & repeat & repeat. Since we only have sleep number beds to move, dh will rent a small truck and ask a couple of the bag boys to help us. Pretty easy way to make $100 bucks each. Golf course is closed on Monday so that more than likely will be actual move in day. Will leave heavy boxes for the kids.

Awful about the Orlando shooting. FBI now saying shooter had made terror threats in the past. Scary out there.

It's a beautiful day here in Paradise. Let's make it a beautiful Sunday!

[frances]

Woohoo AG it must be awesome looking forward to that break! My daughter just has next week left and then she's done. Officially June 20 but I'm sure she won't be going in that day. We have one long weekend up at a lake planned and the rest of the summer plans are planned around softball tournaments - two are at beaches in July and are longer than the usual weekend tourneys - plus we'll need to take time to drive there - so that will use up most of the vacation time we have this summer! It's OK we had a very nice trip to Miami Beach during spring break (and no softball there!) so I can't complain.

And yes I get hooked on the softball too - the best is the women's college world series which ended earlier this week - it is so much fun to watch and the TV coverage of it is great.

TMH - hi!

Enjoy your day both of you!

[ToMyHealth]

Thanks Frances & AG. It was really something, but so happy can now move forward.

Last night we went out for dinner and stopped at our club on way home. There was some type of outside event going on room adjacent to where we were and I told dh that couple is from our church. So as they were leaving he stood in hallway to greet them and invited them to bar for a drink. So what was going to be 1 turned into 2. At least I can say it's less this month if not AF. Still working on it.

Golf is cart path only today due to this week's rain. I opted out. I don't mind walking more. It's just that it is so wet and unpleasant. Game suffers.

That is great AG that you get the summer off. Do you work in education? Imagine you are at a game today, Frances. Hope it's nice. We are seeing the sun again today so think I will run/walk outdoors. Have a great weekend!

[actiongirl46]

TMH, I am SO HAPPY to hear your loan came through. What a process!

Frances, when I am channel surfing (which is very rare, don't watch a lot of tv) I have landed on women's softball and become hooked on a game. I need to check that out more. It is so fun to watch!

I am so lucky to be able to take mid-June through mid-August off. I take a reduced contract, so I don't get paid, but I really value the time. One more week . . .

My boys are finally done with school!! Yay. They are so ready for a break. Is your daughter done Frances? Any summer plans?

[frances]

TMH I'm sorry to hear about your brother. Glad you are able to remember him on his birthday though.

Very glad to hear the loan came through - whew!

I'm doing well and looking forward to the weekend. Weather here is absolutely gorgeous - sunny, clear, breezy, and 75. Of course I'm stuck inside at work. And of course it's going into the upper 80s on Saturday when we will be outside all day!

[ToMyHealth]

Finally! QL came through and even want to close a day early, the 13th. Evidently, interest rate quoted expires on the 14th. What a relief!
Today is my brother's birthday. He died on New Years Day a few years ago. He had COPD.

Torrential downpours right now. Hope you all have a great day. Feel like I can breathe again.

[frances]

Morning everyone! I agree with AG that's weird about QL and must also feel a little crazy!

I wonder if the hypnosis will work. I know a lot of people try that, and for drinking too, but I have no idea whether it's effective. I'm sure it depends on the person and their state of mind.

I'm drinking 1st cup of coffee here and waiting for it to kick in. Was up late watching the 2nd of a 3 game softball championship series - OK won the first one, and then yesterday it was a tie game and Auburn scored in the bottom of the 7th. Whoever wins tonight wins it! I don't have a particular favorite but I was impressed with Auburn last night and I like the Auburn coach so maybe I'll root for them.

AG do you take summers off from work? That must be great!

TMH I hope you hear good news soon!

[actiongirl46]

Hi all - Yes, it did get better, thanks TMH! Not incredibly productive but I am not going to worry about that. I don't have a lot on my plate at the moment for work as I leave for the summer soon. I go out of town for three days of meetings tomorrow so that will finish out the week.

That is so weird that someone else had a completely different experience with QL!! I don't get that. Did you find anything out?

Way past time for bed!! Talk to you guys tomorrow - AG

[ToMyHealth]

Day getting better, AG? Hope so. We got rained on 3-4X but finished 18 holes. Would have had a good game if it wasn't for those darn Par 3's. Seems to be my nemesis lately.

Lunch was interesting. One woman got hypnotized yest in order to quit smoking. One woman said refinancing with a particular company was so easy. They did not ask for tax returns or bank statements. I inquired who that was. Quicken Loan. Well, that is who we are dealing with and have not found that to be the case.
May be proactive and call this afternoon. Later.......

[actiongirl46]

I'm having a hard time getting motivated today!!! Going to catch a quick lunch and try again.

I'm glad you heard from them and it was an easy fix. What a long process!! Makes me never want to move again!
