I'm trying to get in the habit, of first thing in the morning, thinking of at least three things that i'm looking forward to in the day. I'm finding it helps me to be a happier person.
Today i'm looking forward to:
1. Seeing the movie tonight, The 300, with a friend of mine.
2. This afternoon going to meet friends to knit.
3. Having a REALLY GOOD cup of coffee!!!
What are you looking forward to today?
Well....
I personally happen to think that the fact that I open my eyes and rise from my bed is an opportunity to meet the day's rewards and challenges with an open and loving heart.
I am looking forward to all opportunities to bring a smile to the faces of others.
i am looking forward to all personal challenges with the intention of practising Mindfulness, and Awareness of my thoughts, words and deeds.
I am looking forward to actually being able to meet Hollyelise face to face and hugging her so hard she gets cramp.....
I am looking forward to a good night's sleep.
Good! I hope you got it das.
Today i'm looking forward to:
1) Looking in my Domino magazine that just arrived in the mail.
2) Teaching my class and then a private lesson with a very funny lady.
3) My old housemate is in town and i think i'll get to see her today.
Today i'm looking forward to:
1. Enjoying the gorgeous weather.
2. My knitting class tonight
3. Enjoying my house guest.
I am looking forward to buying gifts for my children.
Right now I'm looking forward to a nice hot shower before bed. Tomorrow, I'm looking forward to 4:30 pm when I'm finished work for the day!
Today i'm looking forward to
1. knitting on my new project (a tank top for summer)
2. redoing the end of a knit for a friend of mine... it's one that she made last year but it's been sitting since last year because it doesn't fit right and i can fix it for her so she can finally wear it!
3. Making whole wheat/oatmeal/honey pancakes!
I am looking forward to some peace.
Today i'm looking forward to getting some things done around the house and feeling like i've made progress. I'm also looking forward to reading and being creative.
I am looking forward to do creative thinking.
That sounds wonderful das!
Any kind of creativity in particular?
I'm looking forward to working on the spare bedroom... i was stripping ANCIENT wallpaper in there yesterday, and this morning i've been removing all the hardware like the shelving track system and a hung mirror and other stuff. And i am also painting some wood shelves to put in a closet in another bedroom. I love transforming an old house and making it fresh and clean.
I also will be meeting with my friend at the cafe to write this afternoon, as we do every Tuesday and Thursday, and then i have my knitting class to teach and i always look forward to that as well!
I feel better already. Just directing my thoughts towards things i know i enjoy!
I am thinking of how to make a website that is easy to navigate.
That sounds great!
Let's see... this morning i'm looking forward to my classes. And last night i baked a cake to take to my students... it's one of my own invention and i'd like to see how it turns out (tastes). And i'm looking forward to reading more today, i'm in the middle of a couple of good books!
I think it really does help to think of things in the morning or throughout the day of what we look forward to. This morning i woke up crying... not that unusual for me, but it's just a carry over from the past. I feel better as soon as i think of more positive things.
I read edward de bono. I found that thinking is the most difficult task for the mind. I enjoy being alone and think of new ideas that can be implemented on the internet.
I have heard of Edward deBono... isn't he the one who writes about expanding your intelligence?
He writes about lateral thinking.
I will be talking of old days and how we grew together with Mr. Mohatta today. I feel nostalgic.
That sounds wonderful. I hope he is feeling better.
The cake turned out well yesterday, and my students loved it and that made me happy. There was none left!
We are now in the lush part of spring! It rained last night, which is good. We needed the rain. This morning the trees and grass are wet but everything is sunny and green with growth.
Tonight my class will be meeting at one of the students' homes, which will make it more like a celebration. It will be lovely!
What can i look forward to today?
I am enjoying reading these days, and working on my house, i have a knitting group this afternoon, and i enjoy talking with you and others here at Bella!
You are a cooking teacher?
No, i teaching knitting and sometimes painting, drawing, calligraphy, collage, photography, and other art classes. I enjoy cooking though, and i used to be a professional baker and a health food store and restaurant.
Over the last couple of weeks i've been better at being more disciplined... i've been eating better, exercising a little more, working on my house more, and doing the things i intend to do. That's making me feel a little better about myself. So today i'm looking forward to more of the same... i'm painting shelves for a closet, working in the yard, i'll be finishing reading a book today, knitting a summer shirt, and of course, teaching a class. Some of these things i like to do, and i'm learning to enjoy doing the others! I benefit two ways from that... it's easier to get things done when you enjoy the process, and i feel better when i accomplish what i need to do.
What are you looking forward to today, das?
You are all in one. A great achiever I should say.
I am looking forward today to grow my business and try to make other happy

Good morning, das.
Your comment took me by surprise.... i don't see myself as a great achiever. But thank you very much.
Let's see... this morning it is cool but sunny and beautiful. I'm looking forward to spending some time outside, perhaps working in the yard cleaning up overgrown areas. I just heard from a friend, who often suffers from depression, but she's sounding much happier right now and i will be meeting with her this afternoon.
How are you today, das? and how is Mr. Monhatta?
Why do you not consider yourself a great teacher? are your students not happy?
Yes, my students are very happy.
Thank you for reminding me. Maybe i forget because i get so much from them.
So, you are a great teacher. Congrats.
Thank you!
I have not had time to get to the board in the mornings for the last couple days, so tonight i am thinking about what i have to look forward to tomorrow...
I have a number of things to do, but in the afternoon i get to talk with a friend i haven't talked to much lately, and then i have the knitting group, and i'm close to finishing a project which always makes me happy!
Could you give me some tips on teaching?
Do you teach also, das? I think most of us teach whether or not we're a "teacher."
To teach better, i just try to remember 3 things:
1. Enjoy it. Enjoy your subject. Enjoy your students. Help them to enjoy it. Everyone learns and works much better when they are having a good time and are interested in what they are doing.
2. Help them to feel competent. Nothing hinders learning faster than when a student feels they can't learn or aren't good at doing things. This will not only help them in the subject you are teaching. If you help them to feel confident in just that one area, it will help them to feel more confident in their life as a whole.
3. Talk to each student individually every time you see them. Find out where they are at in their studies or project, what they want to do or learn next, if they need you, and how they are doing outside of class. If they don't show up... find out why. Show you care. At the beginning of each class, i check in with each student. Near the end, i ask each if they need any clarification or help on what they will be doing before i see them again.
That's it.
Oh... perhaps there is one more. I know my students continually say how much they appreciate that i'm patient. But that i think, goes with No. 2.
Thank you so much.
Tell me, do you find the rate of progress of your worst students?
Is that better than average?
My "worst" students are happy, and they progress on their projects and learning. That's really what matters to me. I don't really have other groups to compare them to, but one of my students went to another yarn shop (much bigger) about 45 minutes away and she told me when she was asked where she took knitting classes and she said with me, that they responded, "ooooooooooh, so you're an ADVANCED student!" hahahaha, and we all thought that was very funny, but it was also very flattering. That store has been trying to get me to teach there too, but it's a long commute.
I mostly let my students progress at their own rate but i've learned some sneaky little tricks to get them to try things beyond what they realize they can do. One of those things they tease me about now... hahaha.... whenever they ask me how hard something is, i always say, "that's easy!" I also keep looking for new things and doing demonstrations of interesting techniques... this peaks their interest and makes it look not as difficult to do. I've found that if i can get even
one of the students to try a technique on a project, that the others will then follow. So first often i will make a class just try the technique on scrap yarn, and then often one of them will decide to try it in their next project. I guess you'd call this baby steps.
You look like a real good teacher. A great teacher!
I just enjoy it a lot. Being good at something comes with enjoying it, i think, and it's so easy when i'm able to make them happy.
Yes. Why are you looking for happiness on such boards then? You can get all that from your teaching and students.
I like to read, and learn, and i like to write. And i get lonely. I have good friends, but don't get to see them much either because they live far away or because they have families and children that they are busy with. I live alone. My family, unfortunately, never took interest in me. I was happily married for many years, but he became mentally ill and dangerous to me. We did not have children. We divorced, and since then, i've looked for a mate, but not found the right person. I've had several offers... but it just isn't in me to be with someone just because i'm lonely. We have to be right for each other, and I want to feel they are the right one, that the two of us are really an "us," not just partnering up for convenience... does that make sense?
I like people, and like being around them. I come home to an empty house and wake to one...except for my cat, and he's not much of a conversationalist.
...It's very nice to have this board! Now i can wake up and talk to people who even become a bit familiar, and talk to them again at the end of the day. I look forward to it.
I know Mr. Mohatta suggested you visit this board. I'm so glad you are here. Are you enjoying it?
______________
Here are things i'm looking forward to today:
It's a beautiful day, and when the sun gets lower i'll go for my long walk along the trail that used to be railroad tracks. It cuts through a little forest, and then past large back yards, and then finally past farm fields. I usually see interesting animals, birds, and plants when i walk. Today i am thinking of my friends, and i might call or write to some of them. And i'll be reading and working to finish some of my projects... which is always exciting.
Yes. I am enjoying meeting lovely people like you. I have been told many things about you. Very happy to talk to you.
Holly,
Let me tell you that you are a very honest and transparent person. That is a rare quality now a days.
Thank you! That is very kind.
Now let's see... what can i look forward to today?
I have not yet finished my projects, but i am close! I have one of them in my lap at this moment and i work on it while i read. I meet with a friend this afternoon to write in the cafe, and tonight i have a class, which i always enjoy.
Today i am looking forward to finishing a scarf that looks like ocean waves... done in several blues and blue-greens... and then i get to buy more yarn!
And i get to see Elaine, Bonny, Lenny and Mary today, and they always cheer me.
It is getting night here. I look forward to go in my thoughts.
i am looking forward to day to watch a movie with my friends and i am very excited for the same

I am looking forward to feeding pigeons.
I am looking forward to dinner with my man tonight, as it's his birtday today !!
tell my congratulation to him, and also tell him how luckey he is. have nice dinner.
Lunch,
I'm a pig. I'm also going to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
I am looking forward to nothing today.
It's a new day.
It isn't always easy to see things to look forward to. Sometimes we have troubles or sorrows and it is a challenge to find the gifts in each day. But the gifts are always there, whether we see them or not. And they are plentiful. Each day holds things for us... beauty, love, laughter, learning, sharing,... if we can find it.
When my father lost a daughter... he ignored his other children for years. He did not see the gifts in his life. He didn't know her very well before she died, because he was too busy for her, for all of us. I can understand how he reacted when she died... it's understandable to be grieving... but i still would have wished for him he could have woken up and seen what he still had, and used his loss to deepen his appreciation of and his relationships with those of us who were still there with him and wanted his closeness. We were right under his nose... yet he couldn't see us.
And i've been like that too sometimes when i've gotten lost in sadness. Sadness can be like quicksand. But sometimes you just have to get your mind off whatever is sucking you in and look up, look around... reach out and talk to people and get involved in life. Get your mind off things. Help someone else or just go back to basics and learn again how to appreciate weather, nature, music, healthy food, great ideas, good books and people.
best wishes to all.
Thanks Holly, you are a dear.
Your message has changed my state.
I will go out and meet friends.
Thank you so much.
Didn't I say earlier that you are a lovely human being?
Thank you. You are too, das.
Today i am very looking forward to finishing another big knitting project. I love doing my work, i'm so lucky! And i'm also looking forward to sitting on the porch and drinking tea, of working on things around my house today, and in the evening taking a long walk on the trail.
We are buying a new PC today.
That's fun!
Thanks.
I am looking forward to a joke from you tomorrow.
Today i am looking forward to seeking balance.
Sometimes this isn't always easy for me. My thoughts want to go where it isn't good for me to dwell. So once in a while when i feel i am getting off balance, i pull back a little, try to close off from things that pull me off balance, and instead reach into the timeless strength of the earth, and the simple parts of life like taking care of myself, making a simple meal, cleaning my room.
Today we had a downpour and it was lovely. The evening is coming and i'm about to go on my walk and smell the fresh air and listen to the birds and watch the sunset. These things restore and give strength.
I was looking forward to some thoughful posts from Holly. Holly, please begin a new topic or something to discuss.
Today I am looking forward to my meditation session with my class, and the Qi Gong sessions I have begun. I am already over-subscribed and may have to start another evening's worth!
I am looking forward to unpacking more boxes in my new place and finishing the day 100% smoke free.
Those are great. It always makes me smile to read what others are looking forward to!
Today i am looking forward to an expected weather change, for it's been hot! We may have rain today and cooler temperatures has been forcasted.
And there is a knitting group meeting today and i'm going to call a friend to see if she'll meet me there.
And tonight, the local access channel plays truly awful movies... but they are so funny, that i've gotten hooked and can't wait to see what's on tonight! They might be from anywhere in the world, might have bad acting, a poor plot, and an unbelievable set, but it will be curious and fun!
Tonight Im looking forward to spending some quality time with hubby... no people around, no phone, Just us
It's been awhile since we've been able to just sit down together and relax and have a nice dinner an enjoy eachother. With all the moving and whatnot it's been hard, so that's our plan tonight.
I hope you had a great night with your hubby, Lala!
It took me a while to wake up and feel alert today... hahahhahah!
The weather is GORGEOUS! I have the whole day to myself to do whatever i wish!!!
Some work, some reading, some play, some exercise, some time with friends.... yum!!!!!!!!!
I am encouraged by your post to enjoy.
Thank Holly.
I am so often encouraged by YOU, das. Sometimes to the point where i'm a little overwhelmed and don't know what to say.
What can we do for you today, das, that will make you smile or laugh?
Tonight i am looking forward to sleep! It's been elusive and difficult lately, but i take comfort in knowing it's inevitable!
Sometimes it's nice to know there are things in the universe bigger than us and more certain.
I am so often encouraged by YOU, das. Sometimes to the point where i'm a little overwhelmed and don't know what to say.
What can we do for you today, das, that will make you smile or laugh?
Your posts make me feel good.
Your posts make me feel worthy.
what more can I ask?
Today I am looking forward to a smokefree day for the first time since quitting less than a week ago. Prior to today, my first waking thoughts were of not being able to have a smoke, but today my thoughts were of how much better I feel. WOW!
Today I am looking forward to spending some time with myself. Relaxing, maybe go for a walk, do some shopping, whatever I feel like doing!
Holly, hubby and I have spent a couple evenings alone together, or at least most of the evening and it's been wonderful to just be able to enjoy eachothers company instead of just both being home at the same time...
Things are really good right now
I am so often encouraged by YOU, das. Sometimes to the point where i'm a little overwhelmed and don't know what to say.
What can we do for you today, das, that will make you smile or laugh?
Your posts make me feel good.
Your posts make me feel worthy.
what more can I ask?
Hey...it doesn't hurt to ask!
Personally, i'd like more money, a great partner, and a foot massage!! hahahhaa
I'm glad they make you feel good and worthy because you ARE worthy!
Holly,
You put foot massage with money and partner?
That made me think.
Holly,
what do you want first.
A great partner or more money?
Not together! haha. I have had the opportunity to marry someone wealthy (even in the last year) and never did. I just can't do that if they aren't right for me.
Earning more money i recognize as an element of my healing, as well as a goal for ordinary reasons (to provide for a stable future, for example). I think my poor self esteem holds me back from earning what i am worth in the work market, you see? Logically i know better, but earning more will show me i've healed.
A special partner would be my greatest wish and happiness, i think.
Today i am looking forward to the knitting group this afternoon, going for my long walk, and working towards some of my smaller goals like finishing projects and taking care of some things around the house. Each day is an opportunity to make life a little better, for ourselves and others. That is a wonderful thing to look forward to!
Holly,
I believe that by 2007 end, you would have secured your future.
That's a happy thought!
Today i'm looking forward to eating peaches, my first cup of coffee, and teaching this afternoon's class!
Did you eat peaches with your first cup of coffee?
I am looking forward to decide about what i should look forward to tomorrow.
I hope that means there are LOTS to pick from!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a low-fat, no sugar, iced vanilla latte coffee... whew! what a mouthful to say... when i went to class. It was lovely on a warm day like today.
I carried the peaches with me but didn't get a chance to eat them until tonight, but oh my goodness!!! so sweet and juicy! just perfect! Better than perfect... they surpassed expectations! You'll think i'm exaggerating just to be positive, but i'm not... if i could send them to you i would!
I can't help it... i love flavors and food. I love music. I love art. I love books. I love nature. I love people and can't forget them.
That sounds lovely. You are a lovely person and you love people. You can not forget them and that gives you pain. Sometimes I feel that such pain should be treasured.
Holly,
I never think that you exaggerate. You speak truth . I know that.
thank you.
I'm a bit over-sensitive about it i guess. Been accused of lying when i was not. And i know some of the things i say are strange. And there are always differences in perspective, too.
That does not matter. People are many times careless about what they say. Do not bother about them. If you are OK, why bother?
yes. it doesn't matter now. And i am okay.
I used Ok in the sense of correct. If we are correct, we should not bother about what others say. Give them a hearing and close the matter. Sometimes words can affect us. we should keep a shield with us to protect us from all people who irritate us.
Let's see... what can i look forward to, today?
Talking with my friends here at Bella.
Doing some work here at home today... probably i will do some paperwork. Looking forward to paperwork, you wonder???
Well you might ask! Yes, not my favorite task either, but i look at it as a stepping stone to a more focused, happy life. I will have the satisfaction of making progress, so yes, in a way, i am looking forward to it. I also might work on one of the rooms of my house where i'm refinishing very, very old plaster walls and making them look much better. As i live and learn and heal, i've come to greatly value elective labor to better my life and surroundings. There is joy and success in such efforts.
I am also trying, as a new thing, to make sure to give myself some rewards each day... things that bring me pleasure... things that remind me that this day is for enjoying. I like to knit, and read, and i will probably do some of both today.
Holly,
since yesterday, my memories are troubling me a lot.
I would do my work as I da everyday but my mind will be preoccupied with my abuse.
I do not want act like a super human and lie.
Thank you for telling me so that i can understand.
What can i do to help?
Would you rather discuss it, have me just listen, or would you like me to try to distract you from your thoughts?
I would rather discuss it. I do not think that distraction helps. I will keep posting when I am mentally OK.
Right now I am trying to do some work.
Holly you are a gem.
I hope you are feeling better today. You know how to find me when you feel the wish to discuss.
Tonight i'm going to take my bath and i'm looking forward to sleep. It's a little better now, and i might get a full night's sleep.
Holly, I am very happy to hear that you will be sleeping.
i was getting worried about that.
Today we are implementing a new revenue earning ad on our websites and I am little excited about that.
Today i am looking forward to talking to R about organizing a writing project, i have my knitting class tonight with some great folks there, and i'll work on some projects.
I am looking forward to get some widgets for our site.
Today I am looking forward to sleeping in the rain. Maryland is finally getting some needed rain, with thunder and all!
good night, folks! talk to you later.
Trish
Last night i planned to have coffee and strawberries on the porch this morning, with reading. It's a wonderful thing to look forward to!
I'm looking forward to finishing another project today... this is a netted summer bag in seafoam green, with shells and ocean softened glass beads on it. It is a pattern i have been rewriting with alterations, and several of my students are waiting anxiously for me to finish so they can make theirs with the new design and few problems. I'll get to show it finished in class tonight.
And that means i can focus a new project today... choosing is half the fun!
Today i'm looking forward to doing several little things that improve my health, and as a consequence of improving my health, help improve the way i feel emotionally... things like exercise, good sleep, avoiding processed foods, and drinking plenty of water. (I read somewhere that 10% of people who are depressed are actually experiencing depression as a side-effect of chronic dehydration, and that adequate hydration will relieve their depressive symptoms). I've been working on my health habits for some weeks, but it is finally helping me to feel much better!
I'm also looking forward to reading and discussing, today. I love talking with the smart, inquisitive people here and in other parts of my life.
I'm also looking forward to teaching class tonight.
I am looking forward to?
I want my sweetheart back.
When she was good and loved me.
I miss her every moment.
i wish you were feeling happier, cd. I hope this day is easier for you.
Today i am looking forward to knitting class in a few minutes.
I'm also looking forward to exercise later, it's been making me feel better and i know each day brings me a little bit closer to where i wish to be.
Fresh corn on the cob is in season now,
...and i have a couple ears of it to make with my supper tonight!
I'm also looking forward to reading posts here later today... i learn so much from other people and love hearing about their own joys and successes, and even how they deal with their challenges.
Good luck today, everyone!
Thanks Holly.
I am looking forward to do some good work.
Today i woke early, so i will be able to get more done, i think.
I'm looking forward to the challenge of doing the three things i set out to do.
I'm going to work a little in the room i'm trying to remodel.
And i'm looking forward to reading in the Unlimited Power book.
Today, I had a bet with my younger son.
Out of all our sites, wishafriend is doing great business while doctorgoodskin is somewhere at the end.
I have challenged him that I will make doctorgoodskin no.1 after a year.
I must work on that from today.
That is wonderful, CD! What a great idea to have a little friendly challenge!!
No. It is not a little challenge.
It is big.
And it is not friendly.
I have challenged him and he will eat his words after a year.
I will need to work very hard.
I know that i have lot many physical limitations.
But let me do it.
I will try my best.
You can do it. You will get some great ideas for it.
Thanks. I have already begun thinking.
Me too.
For my own challenge. (which i am forming now)
And i will definitely need more confidence... for consistency of effort.
All the biggest mistakes i've made in my life were because i lacked confidence in those situations. So that must be the first thing i figure out... how to build confidence in myself.
Value yourself.
Compare yourself with others.
If you find that they could do it, so you can.
Why do not you stop worrying about confidence and begin.
It will come on its own.
Because the pattern has been that i make temporary gains only, and then the lack of believing in myself sabotages the gains.
I have begun many times, but always the point where i lose my gain is on a matter of confidence. So before i get to that challenge, i want to learn how to have more confidence, so i don't become uncertain, and in particular, unsure of myself and my worth. It doesn't mean i won't start to work towards my goals, i already have.
Today i am looking forward to challenging myself a lot. A thousand mile journey begins with one step. Each action i do today i will see as one step towards my dreams. If i take enough steps, i will get there.
I'm looking foward to learning something today.
I'm looking forward to this evening, when i will relax and watch some television with a friend.
So you think that it would be better for you to become confident before you begin?
I think it would be better for me to become more confident
as i begin.
This probably sounds sort of simple and silly, but I'm at a stage right now where very small things make a difference.
What I'm looking forward to right now, is getting a pizza for lunch tomorrow, and really indulging myself. ( to blazes with what's good for my figure and my cholesterol!)
I haven't treated myself to junk food for over a month, so this will be a treat!
AF
I think it would be better for me to become more confident

How do you propose to do that?

I don't think that sounds silly. Sometimes i look forward to my morning coffee, even the day before!
Besides, life is made up of little experiences.
I think it would be better for me to become more confident

How do you propose to do that?
I'm working that out in the thread i started on confidence. Suggestions are most welcome.
Sometimes I look forward to hot cup of tea in the morning.
I went for a drive today, and that was a nice change. Monday morning I go to the library, and am looking forward to that.
AF
What kinds of books do you like, AF?
I was in the library today, actually... looking to see if they had a copy of a book i'd seen the bookstore on sewing with t-shirts. My tastes are pretty ecclectic.
I like mysteries. (I avoid love stories) I also like some non-fiction - especially about history and travel. I enjoy reading historical novels too.
At present I am reading two books by Catherine Aird - both mysteries centred in a village in England. She also has a collection of short stories that I read last week. These were entertaining.
I love Agatha Christie, Patricia Cornwell and Sidney Sheldon. Mary Higgins Clark wrote a beautiful story called "All Through the Night" which I have as an audio book, read by herself. I have read several of her other books too and enjoyed them.
I guess reading is a means of escape for me just now. I'd be lost without my books and my music!
AF.
It's hard to go wrong with reading!
I want to read Patricia Cornwell!... i've heard many good things about her books from one of my students who is quite a reader, too. I read an historical novel recently by Bernard Cornwall... (no relation). He's the author of the Sharpe's Rifles series that was made into a mini-series, i think by BBC. Anyway, i have been enjoying his books.
Where would you recommend i get started with Patricia Cornwell?
I used to read mysteries, too, but now i mostly just watch them on Mystery (PBS).
I am looking forward to see the smile on my son's faces. They bought a new TV today and will get it by afternoon.
I have gotten some things done today and i'm looking forward to making Salad Nicoise for supper, with some very fresh locally grown green beans that a friend brought to me. Then i'm going to watch a mystery on public television while i do another sorting project, and then i think i will read and go to bed early.
It's funny how a slight shift in attitude can make ordinary tasks very enjoyable. I am happy.
How did your sons like the t.v?
Today i am looking forward to a fresh currant scone and coffee!
And i'm looking forward to seeing how the day plays out... i have been very excited about all these new ideas and putting them into play. I'm starting to enjoy the challenge of my issues, rather than feeling quite so burdened by the thought of them.
I'm also looking forward to talking to people here at Bella.
Today I am looking forward to going for coffee with an old friend of mine. We went for coffee once a couple weeks ago. But before that we have not seen or talked to eachother in 6 years!!
I'm also looking forward to how I will feel after I do some walking today. For some reason when ever I plan on exercising I don't really look forward to it, but then after I do it I feel fantastic, so Im really looking forward to how I will feel after my walk.
Oh, and Holly, this thread is a fantastic idea! I really have to start participating every day
'Where would you recommend i get started with Patricia Cornwell?'
I have read two of her books which I can recommend, if you like murder mysteries.
POST MORTEM and ALL THAT REMAINS.
I am looking for more.
AF.

They love the new TV. Being challenged rather than burdened?
Great shift in thoughts!
Trying.
We do not lift the max. weight in the first attempt.
we go adding weights over days.
Challenge can not be confronted at one go.
Take it slowly.
enjoying life is more important.
yes.
now... as enjoying life is more important... what are you looking forward to today, cd?
Trying to promote Doctorgoodskin.
remember my bet?
You should look forward to winning, then!
...just as i should look forward to having love in my life again.
I would like to look foreward to love in my life again, but I'm scared to trust - just yet anyway.
For now, I'm looking forward to starting on a new book to read. I've just finished a fascinating one about excavating Egyptian tombs. It has had three separate mysteries running through it. (I love Egyptology!)
AF.
Well, we can learn how to love and respect ourselves better, certainly, and that would be a good foundation.
Today i'm looking forward to trying to make the most of this day. I have more energy than i did last year, and in the last month i've been getting better and accomplishing what i set out to do in a day, and that has really picked up my spirits. Today i'm going to write some, paint in a bedroom, exercise, clean house and possibly have a student come over. I will feel good when the house is more orderly and i've made some improvements on the room.
I want to think of some fun for today, too... hmmmm...
Oh i know! I'll give myself some time to read!!!
work. I am looking forward to more work.
I am looking forward to work too, though today is not a teaching day. I am looking forward to painting the bedroom. Some of the most change in appearance will be today. I've already painted the trim and doors, removed hardware, and patched. Today i'll pull out the roller and do the first coat of white paint over the lavender walls. Picture me with long brown hair and white flecks of paint in my hair.
I may go to a yoga class this evening... i have not yet decided. Let's see... what else might i look forward to? Well, visualization is pleasant, so i will look forward to that. And also connecting with friends.
oh!! ..i'm also looking forward to visiting the new joke website later today!!!!
Mum, is it true my baby sister came
from
Heaven?
Yes, that�s right.
Well, I don�t blame God for chucking
her out.

I am looking forward to seeing an old school friend today. (catching up on all the goss!)

Old school friends are fun!
My first concern with the walls is to get them in better condition. My house was built in 1896 and the walls are the original plaster!
I am painting first with a white sealer that acts as a moisture barrier, and i must paint them white first so that i can see the blemishes in texture so i can repair the cracks and sand bumps. I have started painting the woodwork, too... i have one white paint that i've chosen for the trim and doors in the whole house. After i repair and sand the walls (i have been getting very good results but it takes a lot of labor), then i will paint more coats of white on the walls. Later, when i decorate and fill the rooms i will choose a soft light color for each room, but i will choose the color after i find the right fabric, because paint is more flexible to coordinate. So for now, the walls will be white but in a few months i will add color quickly and then refurnish the rooms. I also hope, after i get the third room upstairs done, to rent a professional floor sander, and take the painted floors back down to the wood and then varnish them. It will add value to my home. I am trying to work quickly because when i sand the floors upstairs, all belongings including my bedroom will need to be downstairs (chaos!), and this will be easier to do before i have a housemate... and i am hoping i will have a housemate soon.
Today i am looking forward to painting more in the room, exercise, meeting with my friend Rick to write, and teaching my knitting class. There is so much to do today!
I find it helps so much to think early in the day what i have to look forward to. It helps me to focus on the positive in life and since practicing it, i am a much happier person. I think it's a good habit to cultivate.
i hope all of my friends here can find many things to look forward to today! Know that i am thinking of you and wishing you well.
Here in Australia, the day is half-way through, but I am looking forward to spending an evening getting my fingers working properly again (after stroke) on the beloved piano!
I've been putting it off because of all the mistakes I know I'm going to make, but if I can type, by gad, I can play the darned piano, what??!!

After painting your home, you can be a consultant about this Holly!
I am hoping by then i will have a new digital camera for myself, and i will attach a picture of me to my posts and also post some pictures of my house.
Kerryanne... i'm trying to remember... there was a famous musician... i want to say it was Isaak Pearlman but i'm not remembering clearly yet... anyway... there was a musician who as he aged he had horrible arthritis, and his hands were all distorted and he was hunched over and stiff and looked very crippled. But when he went to the piano or violin, it was as if he was transformed, and he became fluid. Both music and love have the power to do that. I am glad you are going to play.
Good luck! If at first it doesn't go as you wish, hang in there, keep trying!
Today... i am looking forward to meeting with R to sit and write, and to finishing a knitting project and teaching a class. There is much to do also... visualizing, working on the room, reading... i enjoy these things.
I had a great day today. Spent most of it doing some much needed cleaning up! (don't you feel good when you've done it and can sit down and read a good book!?)

Yes, and his fingers used to be same after he finished the work.
Holly,
Have you thought of a particular brand? i am looking for one. Advice.
Did you search Amazon for that?
Holly,
What is the price range and spec you are looking for?
Holly,
Have you thought of a particular brand? i am looking for one. Advice.
I would first think out how you want to use it, for they make cameras suited for different needs as well as different price ranges. Do you want it simple and easy to use, or do you want to be able to do fancy stuff like manual settings? Do you want a docking station so you can print your own hard copies of photos or would you rather print from your computer printer or download online and have prints made for you by a professional company or at a local store? Would you be doing elaborate photo editing on something like Photoshop? Do you mostly want to share photos online and will not need many prints? If you want hard copy prints you might wish to consider a camera that has a docking station like the Kodak Easyshare, then again, you may have more professional requirements than Easyshare can offer. If you will be doing a lot of photo editing on Photoshop there may be other cameras better suited. Do you want a small camera so you can easily carry it with you, or do you want a really good lens (a bulkier camera) so you can do more professional work? How much do you want to spend? Figuring this out will help you find a camera that is a better fit for you. I, for example, am looking for something inexpensive so that i can get it soon, something small so i can carry it with me, i primarily want it for uploading photos to share online, and i don't want the battery frustrations I have had with my otherwise lovely Canon Elf (the Canon Elf had a rechargeable battery, which in the beginning i thought would be nicer than disposable batteries, but it unfortunately keeps less of a charge each time it is used).
I like to first check reviews in my price range, and then go to a large store with the reviews and talk to a salesperson there... i tell them what my particular needs are and price range and then i always ask also, "what is your best value in my price range?" That one question has often led me to a fantastic purchase... for example, they might have a professional grade camera that is the store model and their last in stock because the model is no longer carried, and is now half it's usual price. So it might, for example, let me get a professional camera, for an amateur price... but i won't know until i ask what is available.
Here is one review, for example, for cameras in the $100-$200 price range.

Yes, AF.. it does for me, too! And i just read an article that talked about how rearranging furniture can help a person who is feeling depressed. (And no, they weren't talking about Feng Shue, but just how creating change in our environs improves our mood).
Yep! I moved a few things around because I didn't want to be reminded of when 'the man' was here!
I also bought a new bed. Now how's that for chucking him out on his ear!!!

I saw many cameras here. Which would be good? the requirement are similar to yours. Price- 100- 200 Dollars.something more would be OK.
Yep! I moved a few things around because I didn't want to be reminded of when 'the man' was here!
I also bought a new bed. Now how's that for chucking him out on his ear!!!
AF.
Does that help?
I did the same thing, AF, when i divorced my husband. I also changed the bedding and moved the bed to a different wall, and started sleeping on the other side of the mattress at first, and then in the middle. It did help!
My ex slept a lot... he would usually go to bed before i did and rise after me, so i did not spend much time in my bedroom except for sleep. I laughed one day and said it had been years since i'd seen my bedroom except in darkness.
...that wasn't strictly true, but it was funny. It did happen a lot, though. The hardest thing for me was correcting my habit of dropping my clothes on the floor which i had picked up during those years. I picked up that habit when i got used to undressing in the dark, because putting them away properly would have required my turning on a light and waking him up. Now i spend time reading in my bedroom. I like that.
One of the best pieces of advice i received after i separated from my husband was to, "Go do all those things you wanted to do but could not or did not when you were with him." Strangely, the things i most wanted to do did not have to do with dating other men, but instead things like hogging the bathroom for a long bath, cooking spicy food more often, and spending more time with a friend whom he had not liked. Doing these things reminds us of our own identity, and makes us stronger.
In the next few months i will move into a different bedroom. Change is good. And i have found that when i want change in one part of my life (like right now for me earning more money and dating), if i am feeling a bit stuck, it helps a lot to change something small first, something that does not have as much emotional charge. Furniture arrangement is one of the easiest things to change, and every time we see the new furniture arrangement it signals our brain that we are in a new place or time, and that helps us to break old habits and routines, and i think, makes it easier for us to do the larger change we are wanting.
Today i am looking forward to work, and working on fixing up the bedroom. I'm looking forward to doing a little decluttering project, reading, and exercise.
It's late now, but I have plans for tomorrow. A trip to the library to take out more books; going to the shop to get more coffee (I've run out!) and making a wine trifle - which I've not done for years because the ex didn't like trifle!
And yes, I find I can do things now which I couldn't before. In many ways,I'm enjoying my new 'freedom'- especially freedom from constant criticism!
AF.
India may win the test match against england today. looking forward to the sound of crackers around.
Most people in Scotland will be watching and pulling for India to win, also -- they love seeing the English lose! hahaha
Good luck.
AF - you have me drooling for your trifle now! mmmmmmmmm!
I am looking forward to sitting on my porch in a few minutes and drinking coffee and reading there. I love that spot.
Also today i have a class and a private lesson following that, and i will be trying to figure out some plans for my future.
Looking forward to my vacation - traveling around and just being ME! My friend has gone thru a divorce too, so we can really cut loose and 'live it up'!
(the trifle was great. I make it with Sweet Sherry, strawberry jelly and fruit salad with layers of custard between, then topped with whipped cream and fresh strawberries or blueberries. Anyone want some???)
AF.
Looking forward to be with CD today. His son is leaving for US and I know CD will be very disturbed because of thoughts of separation. they are very attached to each other.
Our thoughts are with them.
Today I am looking forward to my afternoon knitting group, and otherwise trying to get done today as much as i possibly can on my goals. I have some written work to do, knitting projects, businesss, the house project... all of it gets me feeling that i'm changing things, and that's a very good feeling.
I've been working on my fitness regularly, so now it's starting to get fun as i shape up and have more energy.
Later today i'll connect with friends both online and off.
And i'm about to have coffee and a nice sweet melon. I'll try not to think of the triffle!
Enjoying the cooler weather and the gentle rain. Getting a hug from my beloved. Hearing my child laugh. Getting lost in the book I am reading. The unknown..the thing I can't plan on or anticipate, but which will unfold.
Yes, NdnRu, here, too... it's been raining softly since i got up this morning. Not very typical of August weather for here (usually we have heat, humidity, and when we do get rain in August it's in the form of violent thunderstorms), but we needed the rain and i like it.
Today i'm also looking forward to getting things done. Quiet Sundays are wonderful that way. No distractions of having to be somewhere else, i can get a lot done at home.
I'm also going to finish knitting one of the gifts today, for my student/friend Chie. Chie just turned 89 years old, and she knows about this gift as i couldn't finish it it time for her party so i let her help select it's nature. I can't tell you what a kick it is to know she's looking forward to this!
I hope when i'm 89 i still have plenty to look forward to.
i'm looking forward to dreaming of and planning my future today.
looking forward to a day off where i am not running anywhere... doing anything I don't want to do... working my butt off with little gratification (tips to show you enjoyed the service).
I am going to cook. Play on the computer. Read more of Harry Potter book 7, and just enjoy my day off. Tomorrow starts way early!
I'm glad
IDon'tPlayWithTrolls and
Jase joined us.
Today i'm looking forward to looking in the bedroom i'm working on... each day i work a little on it and it is showing improvements and that pleases me. Yesterday i was starting to repair gaps in a panel in the back of the closet... it's a several day process, because the patching compound you use a little at a time and let it dry. I also did another layer of paint on one wall and paint scraping on the windowsill.
I'm also looking forward to seeing my knitters this afternoon. They always cheer me up. Yesterday one of my knitters asked that we throw a surprise going-away party for the college student that's been with us for summer. We are collecting small knitting gifts for her to add to her "stash."
The party will be next Friday.
I'm also looking forward to finishing some promotional materials for my classes, and hopefully printing them off today. I ran out of ink for my printer though... so i'm going to try to send the documents to the library and print them there. Then that job will be off my mind.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day today!
It started to get cool yesterday and since last night it has been lightly raining. It feels like the beginning of autumn. I love the changing seasons here... we go from hot summer weather to winter cold and snow. The seasons seem to keep everything fresh and reminds us of the passing of time. Soon the large sugar maple in my front yard will start changing color. At it's peak it will look like it's on fire with oranges and red.
Today i can be home except for one errand. I'm going to work on my writing and take breaks by knitting for classes and working on the bedroom and cleaning house. It will feel good to make progress on these things.
I also usually bake a loaf of bread on Sunday for the week.
im looking forward to going to bed,
skyhaven, I look forward to going to bed every day so I know how you feel.
aw.
i know it's hard. Sometimes i sit blankly for 20 minutes trying to think of things to look forward to, but it's worth it, so i always try to find three things. If i bother to look for things, it gets me turned around to where i'm feeling happier and have more energy.
This morning i'm looking forward to working hard and getting as much done as possible. I know i won't get as much done as i'd like but i'm just going to focus on a few things and at the end of the day i can see progress. Gradually i'm relearning how to make longer commitments to myself and others, doing a little every day but over the course of weeks, and that's really helping me to see progress in things like my fitness, my writing, and fixing up the house.
Also today i have a class i can look forward to, and my friend/co-worker E will be back from her trip today to visit her grown-up children.
And if i need a fourth thing to look forward to....
there's always coffee!
That's right! Always look at the little things, too! (there's always tea, too!) Remember when we look forward to things at the beginning of our day, that it is equally important to look at ALL THE THINGS that we ACCOMPLISHED that day and list at 3 things! That way we are able to build our self esteem, too!
I am looking forward to talking to some friends on Bella, by phone, and paying bills, purging some paperwork and having dinner and a movie with my son and husband.
Trish
P.S. I have accomplished: 1) helping my son locate white crocs for his girlfriend ... SO I NEED to think of AND accomplish some more before bed.
I'm trying to help 2 families... one is a friend of mine who's been looking for their first house with her husband. They've been looking 2 years, looked at many houses, and not felt they've found the right one. They made offers on two houses but their offers weren't accepted. The other group is a family that are friends of a friend, and they ran into financial difficulty, and are now trying to sell their home quickly before foreclosure. It would be a wonderful advantage for both the families so i hope it works out. My friend would get closer to the kind of big house in a nice neighborhood she wanted but couldn't afford, and a lot of extra equity, and the other family would be able to have some much needed money. It's been hard to get my friend to go over and see the house because she's just very nervous, but i finally got her to agree so i'm hoping i can set it up to go over in the next hour. Wish us luck!
Trish it sounds like you're going to have a lovely day!
I think accomplishments are great, but i think that many other things go into our value, and our self esteem shouldn't just be about what we get done. Sometimes we try and fail, but it's great that we tried. Sometimes we receive a compliment and that lets us know how we are valued by others. And sometimes it's just a quality we have.
For Trish: 2) You are a very intelligent lady, and 3) you wrote a great post!
aw.

there's always coffee!
What kind of coffee you love?
i confess, i'd rather have a bad cup of coffee than no coffee when i've gotten it in mind. There are a couple brands that i really like, though. One is Equal Exchange organic coffee. It's from a company started by Catholic nuns. They wanted to buy coffee where they didn't have to feel guilty that the people working the fields were empoverished and exploited, so they set up a company much like a co-operative. The coffee costs more because the workers get fair wages and profits and there are farmer partnerships, but it also happens to be very good tasting coffee. Equal Exchange sells tea and chocolate, too, but i've only tasted their coffee so far.
You can buy it or learn about their program here:

It didn't work trying to help those two families, by the way. I told my friend the house was: in a great neighborhood, large, with a big yard, in good condition and only needed the carpet replaced, is listed at $75,000 under what the bank values the house to be (because the seller is approaching foreclosure), can either be a duplex or a single home dwelling, and that as a century home she can qualify for special home improvement grants, etc.
AND i told her i would walk over there with her... and i couldn't even get her to go look at the house!
I told her she's just LOOKING at it, she doesn't have to buy it... and she wouldn't go look! She and her husband have looked at 60 houses over the last two years... put a bid on one or two but didn't get them.
So that really tells me this is all about fear.
I can understand that... since i struggle with fears myself. But it's frustrating because i really believe it would be so advantageous to both parties! She could rent out half and let that pay for the mortgage, or, turn around and sell it in the next year for at least a $40,000 profit! She won't do it.
Oh well.
i tried.
Holly,
some people have a desire to fail. Your friendd belongs to that group. They complain about their bad luck and hard work but do not grab the chance when it comes.

I don't know if she has a desire to fail, cd. She's just a very anxious person and worries constantly, though sometimes she's a little better or worse. She knows she has a problem with anxiousness and negativity, and is trying to get a hold of her worries as best she can. I guess i can sympathize with her because i know i often make foolish decisions, too, out of fear. It can be a hard thing to fight against.
Holly,
you are very compassionate.
of course i'll give you a cup of coffee! silly question.
you can stay here. So can Pratibha.
Today i am looking forward to getting some work done. It has been enjoyable to get things done and see results.
Tonight i'll have clean sheets on the bed and i'm so looking forward to a good night's sleep!
I have my knitting group this afternoon. And i'm making progress on a vest for an upcoming class.
And i'm sitting here enjoying coffee.
Do you ever think how the weather helps us to enjoy contrast?
Right now it is hot and very humid. I look forward to the cold chill of fall. When i have cold fingers i'll look forward to warmth, but now i look forward to cold fingers.
That is nature holly. nature is wonderful.
Nature is shining on us here in Nebraska today. So today, I look forward to mowing the lawn. Mind you, it is mid-shin due to all the rain and humidity we've had, but today is a new day. The sun is shining and temps are in the 70's. BEAUTIFUL!!!!
That sounds beautiful. I've had to mow the lawn when it's that high sometimes... not this year, though! I've only had to mow it 3 times all season, i think. One more time and i think i'll be done for the year.
I just had a next door neighbor move to Nebraska! He'll be back for a visit in a few months.
Okay... things to look forward to. I'm quite determined to snap out of the unresourceful state i've been in lately! I want to be working harder, be more optimistic, enjoy the day, be able to concentrate better, have lots more energy, etc., so...
Today i am looking forward to:
---writing as much as i can,
---working on the room (except for one window where i'm still scraping, i'm starting to see the end of the rest and can probably finish in two days if i work a lot at it.
---going to my class tonight.
I also have a mostly clean house at the moment... go figure! So that is pleasureable, of course, and it is a beautiful late summer day: not too hot, not too cold. The cicadas are rattling.
Today, again, i'm looking forward to working as hard and fast as i can, and making progress on writing and other things.
My class tonight will be held at the house of a student... i've never been to her place so this will be nice.
Tonight i'm looking forward to taking the late evening off -- well, sort of -- i'm going to knit on a project i need to get done while watching deliciously awful movies on t.v., but it will be relaxing.
I am looking forward to do some day dreaming.
I got my days mixed up when i wrote that last post -- tonight is the night for movies and knitting and relaxing...if i get my work done first!
Shortly i will go to a knitting group and see friends.
It is a gorgeous late summer/early fall day here!
I look forward to my daughter coming home for the weekend and hearing all about the new world she is discovering.
I am looking forward to 4.45 when I leave the office in Manhattan and head home to Long Island to start the weekend!!!
YEAH!!!!!
Have a good Labor Day everyone!
Pam
New York
Nice! I used to live on Long Island!
You have a good Labor Day, too!
i am getting bored with work and work. Nothing to look forward to really.
That often happens when we have been working very hard without a break. Time to play, socialize, and occasional vacations helps us to remain fresh in our work, enjoy it, and do better.
I know you feel you have to work very hard now, but can you come up with a plan for not having to work so constantly or such long days?
Today i am going to try to get my writing done more quickly, because i want to try to finish the vest i am working on for a class and then write up the pattern.
I'm also trying to figure out what i want to accomplish tomorrow. This week i will start making some purchases... perhaps a new camera or a printer or a battery for my laptop. I have been holding off on buying clothes, but i will be making some purchases soon.
I'm looking forward to baking a loaf of bread while i do other things.
It will make me feel good to finish the vest and make progress with other work.
Trying to get some work done. A little sad today but i will try to come back and post things i'm looking forward to.
I am looking forward to work.
Today i am looking forward to:
Knitting and beginning a new project.
Writing and working.
Making bread.
Doing what i can, but in an easy fashion and letting that be good enough for today.
I am curious how long my husband will acknowledge me, this being the first Sunday of thr NFL!
Cindy,www.asweetreminder.com
I am getting bored today.
What would liven it up for you, pratibha?
Today i am looking forward to working, because it is fun and moves me closer to making my dreams come true
I'm looking forward to doing some planning, for the same reason. I've learned much in the last week and i'm ready to approach things in a better way with better attitudes.
I'm looking forward to exercising,
and also sitting on the couch knitting my projects and watching television.
I will also be watching some shows on TV.
I am looking forward to contemplation.
Vigorous love making tonight.
Sounds good.
Today i am looking forward to getting a new house mate and the change it signifies.
I am looking forward to cleaning, tossing stuff, home improvements, and being a little more disciplined now that i will have a house mate.
And i'm looking forward to my knitting class tonight.
Good Holly. I am happy for you.
Looking forward to some shopping.
Yay, das!
Thank you Manjari.
Today i am looking forward to work. I want to get better. I'm also working on a sweater and i think the hardest part is over, so i can knit while doing other things (i have it in my lap now, for instance). I have a little more home improvement stuff i need to do today... i'm putting in part of a heat register and need to mow the lawn today or tomorrow and arrange for high speed internet.
I'm going to try to relax today, too. There will be a lot of people in the house and children, today, and it will be a little stressful until i am used to it.
I'm going to start looking in clothing catalogs for new clothing. I have lost a little weight. If i lose just a few more pounds i will also fit into some clothes i already have. I can get into them now, but they are tight, so i hope to improve in the next 2 weeks.
looking forward to some work.
I am looking forward to find that-
Holly does not feel guilty when she tells about what she faced in past.
Holly feels protected.
Holly believes that the future will be very good and all her dreams - a husband, children, writing, love will be fulfilled.
Holly begins sleeping like a child.
Haven't been around in a while...
I'm looking forward to a day with nothing to do (finally!) For the past month we have literally spent every day at the gym, ballfield, or rowing center. There are no practices or meets today - so I'm being lazy!!!!
I am looking forward to meet my price charming.
I'm looking forward to pratibha meeting her prince charming, too. Maybe once she gets some things will settle down around here. (joking).
It's great to see you again, BellaHarmony! You add a very loving and calming presence to Bella.

Thank you very much, CD!
Good things are happening. TOday Nancy and her friend Ernie came to help me get my car running again. There are multiple problems but Nancy took charge which is very helpful to me now. She wants me to get my car going so i can drive to her city and help her with some of her things, which i am looking forward to doing.
It is a stressful week. Gretchen's daughter has been acting up. She's only 3, i think. One of the naughty things she did today was lock herself in the bathroom and then at first refused and then was too confused to get out. She does not know her right from her left yet, and kept asking us questions we'd need sight of her to answer, but i finally figured out how to direct her to open the door. I held the doorknob so i knew if she was touching it, and said, "no, not that one, above that," and then told her to "move the latch towards the bathtub" to get around the right/left thing.
Today i am looking forward to working and tonight i'll watch a mystery on television while i knit, and i build a fire in the fireplace. I've also started making a loaf of bread, as i usually do on Sundays.
Must have had tough time with child locked inside.
We didn't panic, but it was worrysome.
How are you this morning, Pratibha?
I am OK, Holly.
I am all the time dreaming of my price charming ad working.
I work on the internet . Give content to others.
I am looking forward to some shopping.
Thanks Holly!
When children are small - houses MUST be equipped with the push-button type doorknobs! Then all you have to do is take a thin piece of metal, poke it throuhg the hole, push, and voila! Open door. (Can you tell we've had to do this a few times? LOL!)
Ah, shopping, I remember what that was....
I am looking forward to peace.
I have got my migraine back and it is severe. migraine has brought back memories and my pains. Right now I am in hell. I look for peace.
Migraines can be very painful. Take care.
Thanks Holly!

You also love shopping?
I just read yesterday that Melatonin helps many migraine sufferers eliminate their recurring problem within 90 days!
I just moved the laundry basket next to where i am typing here... my cat loves to sleep in it or i tease him by running my toes outside the basket and he reaches through with his paws or teeth.
Today i am trying to remain FOCUSED despite challenges to get involved in things that pull me off of my chosen direction.
It is a beautiful, sunny, cool autumn day. I will try to spend some time outdoors... i have not been enjoying the outdoors while i can.
I'm going to bake bread today and make a pot of soup... not sure what soup yet... anyone have any suggestions?
I'm also going to knit today and read.
Love to all,
~holly
How about a butternut squash soup Holly...that is always one of my favorite early Fall indulgences!
Today I look forward to a little bit of peace and quiet (I hope) after horribly busy times last week.
I'm glad this post floated to the top today, because boy do i need it today. The day has hardly started and already there have been ...there's been several items of unpleasant stuff.
I need things to look forward to.
That's a great suggestion, Kiki. I made the soup already though, so butternut squash will need to wait for next week.
What can i look forward to today?
I'm going to stay in my room. Maybe knitting and reading. I'll work. But i need a shift in activities, too. Perhaps clean my room. I'll put on music... that will help.
Wow. It has been a week since i posted in this thread. That was not my plan!
I want every day to think of three things to look forward to.
Today is a beautiful autumn day!
Sunday is usually my day to cook a big pot of soup and a loaf of bread for the week. I love doing that! I have not decided what soup to make yet and i still have a little left so i might make Baba Ganough instead to use the eggplant before it gets too ripe.
Each day becomes even more exciting as i make progress in my work and home. I figure that if i make even a 1% improvement each week, that is a 50% improvement in a year, and that is very exciting!
I will be scanning my wife's photo and save it on my PC.
I am looking forward to packages arriving, which may begin today!
I had been using my exercise jumprope and it broke (how do you break a rope? It takes talent, i tell you, LOL), so i have ordered a new fancy jumprope with small weights in the handles to exercise the arms. I am in good shape, but i wish to get in great shape again. I also have books expected... to learn about business and some other things.
Also today i am looking forward to chatting with my friend R. and doing work and seeing improvements.
I have two packages today and i'm looking forward to opening them!
I'm looking forward to talking to my friend R online and seeing my other friend R this afternoon.
I'm hoping to get a LOT of writing done.
And i'm looking forward to my class this evening and knitting.
Today i am looking forward to:
1. my coffee
2. looking in the mail
3. teaching tonight.
Today I am looking forward to:
1. Not being bloated
2. Getting back to work
3. Recovering
4. Solid food
5. Shopping!
I hope your day is even better than expected. What are you going to shop? I hope it's for something fun.
clothes ;0) We are doing a paint the town pink program for breast cancer awareness so I need a pink shirt and some new black pants.
Nice.
It's hard to be blue when wearing pink, isn't it?
I want to order some clothes, too. I have been having better luck sometimes shopping by mail.
Today i think i should spend a little time outdoors. There will not be many beautiful warm days left this year before winter.
I am looking forward to doing my best today at writing and other things.
I am reading The Law of Attraction, which a friend gave to me. I will read a chapter in that.
I am also knitting today because i have to get this sweater done for a gentleman who is paying me. I enjoy knitting though and find it relaxing.
I let my cat outdoors to play and he is enjoying hunting butterflies.
What are other people looking forward to or enjoying today?
I look forward to my day off when I don't have to do anything but sleep in, mess on the computer, do a little reading, and then I am going to finish my cushions for my chairs.
Holly, I would love a sweater hand-made for me. I have so much trouble finding sweaters that I like because most have ugly color combos or designs LOL
hahaha.
Good sweaters are treasures. I have a friend who "rescues" handmade sweaters from thrift stores whether they fit her or not. She has brought many hand knit Irish sweaters to me for repair, and the smaller ones i get to keep. She is also a quilter and she repairs antique quilts, so she's gotten very good at getting stains out of fabric and wool without hurting them.
What kind of sweaters do you like?
I am sitting at my computer in a sunny window, and i can look at the sky through the maple and butternut tree leaves. It is a warm fall day.
I have my cup of coffee here.
I am thinking about a very dear friend of mine who doesn't know how much he means to me.
Today i hope i can work a lot and help people. It matters to me when i can help others and make their day a little better.
I will play with my cat today. I am amazed at how much he has improved this year. I took him in the day after Christmas. He was very aggressive then... more than you probably can imagine. But yesterday, for instance, he kept coming to me when he wanted to be pet. This is a BIG thing. Also this week someone else mentioned they could see how much Fisher (the cat) trusts me. I'm pleased i could turn this "bad boy" around and resocialize him.
I would love to hear what the rest of you are finding in this day that makes you happy. I know many of you are struggling with depression. I have found that looking for these little blessings right under our noses really helps. I enjoy reading what others share.
Today I am sitting at work just watching these old ladies enjoy themselves. Monday is bridge day at the Secret Garden Tea Room which is in the building where I work at the spa. We are upstairs in a loft like area overlooking the tea room and health food store. They reminf me that even though they are old they can and do have a good time. THey bring in a couple bottles of wine, have lunch and gab like school girls, and then when their stomaches are fill sit down in groups of four and play cards. After every game they shift players to another table. It's cute.. their own little red hat club sans the red hats.
Today I will also use my boredom time (its a legal holiday and many people are at home with their kids) and sit down and read a book i keep starting but never get far in.
Holly, sweaters wise, i like them not too tight around the neck, but not too baggy either. I hate tight cuffs, cable stitch, and odd patterns (especially horizontal stripes or half fancy and half solid). I am looking at getting one of those sweaters that zips up the front and has a high neck that can be folded down. Other than that, I am always striggling with fit and pattern.
Are you feeling better today Jase? I hope so!!
I like pink n black, bet you looked great
I am feeling much better, thanks for asking. I am back on solid foods now and even ventured out the other night to try some chinese take-out. Still getting the cramps but thats why the doc gave me some major cramp meds.
The pink and black looked good. In fact, all three of us looked good and got compliments on our outfits and that we would do such a thing for the breast cancer awareness weekend in our town affectionatly called Paint The Town PINK!
As soon as my boss gets the picture loaded in the computer I will post it.
Jase, this week my friend Sheila told me that she'd gone out with her three dearest friends... and they all dressed up as old ladies! Two of them were terribly afraid they'd get noticed so they all went to a different city. Sheila said they borrowed old and funky clothes to do it... but said they all had the wildest time laughing all evening!
I'm glad you are feeling better, too. Sounds like you have a nice place to work!
How are you, Skyhaven?
it really is a nice place. I like it.
you can check out what we do at
www.therandrspa.comI should get pictures of the whole building and post them.
Today...
I'm looking forward to finishing my lacy pink fingerless mitts today.
I get to chat with R in a little bit.
I have to go to knitting this afternoon.. i can't really afford to take out the time today but earlier in the week i promised someone i would be there.
I hope i get lots of writing done today!
Today i'm looking forward to getting G's things out of the interior of the house. She STILL has not come to pick up her things or remove her car, so i must do it because this really can't go on. Today i'm packing and moving her things and i'll make one last attempt to get her to pick them up. Then tomorrow i'll start posting her furniture for sale, so that i can pay to have her car towed. Then i'll put her clothes and linens in the trash (they aren't clean and i have too much to do to wash, etc.) and i'll call Good Will to come pick up the rest. I'm looking forward to getting this done with by the end of the week.
I'm also looking forward to finishing this sweater. i'm working on the last of the knitting. Then on another day i'll sew it and put in a zipper and block it.
It's a beautiful day, and i'll probably have to go out to get more yarn to finish the sweater, so i'l look forward to my walk.
I'm looking forward to my final surgery (Friday). I'm also looking forward to finishing a sweater for my DS (just the sleeves and collar left) and filling up my workshop/seminar calendar for Spring 2008 (February's already booked and I have tentative dates in March and April--wow).
I'm also looking forward to writing for just one topic now. Though I think I'm going to miss the GRADUATE SCHOOL topic a bit.
Nice!
Lynn, what workshops/seminars do you teach? Are they in knitting? collage? or something else?
I am looking forward to doing absolutley NOTHING for anyone but myself. I am going to read, have some lunch, read, play on the computer, maybe watch some telly, but not a thing for anyone but me ;0)
Lynn, I never realized you were a speaker! Wow, something else we have in common. I haven't taken any bookings but a couple for this spring. I am trying to take it easy since I will be traveling to Tulsa for a week for work, a conference in February where I will be doing two seminars (workshops), and then our Bella Gathering in April.
Jase, that sounds like a wonderful day!!!
Holly, it is a first for me. I am actually proud of myself for asking for an extra day off just for ME!
I'm an independent educational consultant (read "information resource/guide/support system/shoulder to cry on" for students/parents trying to work through the college planning/admissions process). I started doing "College Planning Made Easy" workshops this fall; and it sort of mushroomed. I'm now working on adding seminars on scholarship searches and preparing successfull college admissions applications. My goal is to keep costs low - after all, once the students/parents have the info they really can do it all on their own - and I do this by partnering with community ed. programs in local school districts. Its really working.
Lynn,
You are doing great work.
Wow, Lynn, what a great idea! Of course it would mushroom. People need that kind of guidance very much, and i'm sure your advice saves them so much money, not to mention spares them from the bewildering world of college applications!
It's very cold this morning, but i'm still determined not to turn on the heat until Thanksgiving! I'm sitting here with a hot water bottle in my lap and an alpaca blanket.
What can i look forward to today?
I made the GOOD coffee today..
I'm trying to hold off on getting my second cup so i can look forward to it. I'm trying to drink less coffee so i really need to savor it. The sun is shining in my bedroom windows and it's very pretty.
Yesterday i finished a knitting project, so today i get to pick a new one. I'm trying to write patterns for holiday knitting workshops so today i think i will begin a hat of my own design, and type up the pattern as i go.
I have a class tonight and i hope many students show up for it. Last week i had six students, which is a good size. The fall break at the college is done and students have returned, so late this afternoon i may see one of my favorite knitters.
I hope i am successful with work today. Every day is a challenge to do better. I hope too that a lot of people post in Self Development today... i enjoy reading others' posts so much.
Hi Holly:
I don't believe I ever answered the question in this thread.
It is a great question to ask yourself every morning.
My answer every morning is I am really looking forward to just having a happy day - any day when any of my loved ones are healthy and safe is a happy day.
Keep warm - it finally got cold here in PA this week :O)
still haven't got the heat on myself. I am actually surprised on how I actually don't need it. and I can imagine the money I am saving by not giving into temptation to turn it on before I actually truly need it.
For those of you trying to keep the heat off (not a problem for me as it's not cold here yet), one thing I've done in the past to warm things up is to boil water on the stove--it's like a little steam humidifier without the dirty, moldy [censored]. Increasing the humidity in the air increases the temperature.
I discovered this by accident when trying to humidify the air in the winter when I got sinus infections. I'd boil/simmer the water and next thing I knew, it was hot in the house and I had to turn down the heat.
Be careful not to let the pan boil dry! If you are making pasta, that works, too. Actually, anything liquidy will work a bit. So, cooking helps heat the house, and that's why I usually only use the oven when I'm not running the AC.
Running the dishwasher & then opening the door and letting the hot dishes air dry helps, too.
Oh, and if you do take baths, leave the water in the tub until it really cools off--that will also help heat the air in your house a bit.
Texas has weird weather this time of year. We wake up to 38 temps and by afternoon we're pushing almost 80. Since we're not used to cold, the heater goes on for a bit in the wee hours. I really hate the cold.
BRRRRRRRRR
Yeah thats how it's been here. Been getting down to about 30-35 at night then in the day high to mid 60's. But I live in west central illinois where this time of the year we get freak thunderstorms and high winds so sometimes 60 can feel like 40. BUt I have tried the boiling water trick. It has worked. Or washing clothes.
I bake or make soup and that warms the kitchen. I am fortunate to have a fireplace and have a fair amount of wood that falls on my property, but i'd like to get a fireplace insert so that more of the heat comes into the room, and i need to have the wood cut.
Today i am looking forward to finishing a knitting project and pattern for a workshop i will teach in a few weeks.
I'm looking forward to talking to friends.
It is another beautiful day, and i'm looking forward to trying to get some things done while reassessing my future plans.
I got two books of James Herriot on ebay. Looking forward to get them soon.
I loved James Herriot also.
Today Gretchen might get her things and her car away from here, and if she doesn't, then i know my next steps, so i'm happy this is going to be resolved this week!
This morning i am writing a knitting pattern with my knitting in my lap.
This morning i ordered a book about health that will hopefully help me prevent some problems and help me to feel better.
This afternoon i will go to knitting and fix Janet's vest and there will be many women there and lots of laughter.
It's a cold day but sunny and very beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a nicer autumn. Technically we haven't even had "Indian Summer" yet, because there has not been a hard frost.
Looking forward to getting off work, going for coffee with an old friend and then best of all....
SLEEPING!!!
hahaha.
Hi Lala! Good to see you again! Have a lovely day.
Awakening every morning and be thankful for life. Starting a new day with a smile of what ever life throws my way. Who can I help today.
That's lovely.
I am trying to do some writing on romantic love.
Haridas, that sounds interesting!
What historical period does it take place? I love historical romance novels, especially if they take place in Scotland, England or Ireland during the time of the American Revolution here in the states.
Holly, how did your knitting pattern turn out? I hope the book that you ordered will really help you! Hasn't the weather been perfect? Have you started walking? I'm going to start again, first thing in the morning!
Lala, I am really glad to see you here! Are you still loving your new adventure? When are you taking your next big trip?
I am trying to catch up with some reading and writing after spending 3 days away with my husband for our 28th anniversary. It was great.
My husband is going to watch the football game shortly and I am going to write a few articles.
Have a beautiful day, everybody!
I am REALLY excited to see some of the regulars back here!!
Trish
I didn't go walking this morning, Babyquacker. I'm glad you mentioned you are walking tomorrow. All right, you heard it here first everyone... i'll go walking tomorrow (Monday). I'll leave the house within the first hour of waking and walk for half an hour.
I did jump rope for a few minutes just about ten minutes ago. For me, it's an exercise i can do when i'm short on time or when the weather is bad.
And now... i just moved my gym downstairs. It's been on the upstairs porch. Funny... it's no fun working on a metal homegym when it's been out in the cold all night!
...The earflap hat turned out well, by the way. I need to start another project tonight.
This week we have Diwali. Crackers are all ready going. This whole week in India is a Noise week.
Well, i was delayed going on my walk this morning, for i woke up and discovered the furnace was blowing cold air! The instructions for the furnace are complicated, but i didn't play helpless and worked my way through them and relit it myself... saving some money not to have to call a repair person.
I'll change clothes and go for my walk now.
Hi Trish and Holly.. and everyone else :P
Our next big trip is in January! Going to mexico! yay!
I gotta run to work now but Ill be around more often!
Take care everyone~!
That's good news. You've been missed, Lala.
Hey, good for you, Holly! I'm glad that you could take care of it yourself. Did you enjoy your walk? I just got back from mine and am going to cool done HERE and see how everyone is doing.
Lala, I thought your trip was coming up pretty soon. How lucky you are to go somewhere SO warm while we are still in the cold.
I am really happy that you will be around more often!
Haridas, I think the candles that light the night are much better than the firecrackers. It is cool how the legend of victory of good over evil plays out using light from candles and lamps to illuminate the homes and hearts. I enjoy having lit candles floating in water, too. They are so peaceful. Enjoy the harvest festival with your family.
Trish
The candles or the Diyas as we call them look fascinating. But crackers are the norms during Diwali.
I understand. I am looking forward to a good night's sleep. I am going to take my book to bed and relax so I will have sweet dreams. I wish the same for all my friends.
Trish
Do you remember your dreams?
Yes, many times I do and they are usually pretty vivid. Usually they are the dreams that I have just before I wake up or am awakened. Do you remember your dreams?
Trish
Early in the morning. After that they all disappear.
I remember my dreams vividly for months and even years sometimes... Im surprised I dont get confused between dreams and reality!
I am looking forward to a visit to streets today.
Just to watch crowd buying clothes, jewellery and everything else for Diwali.
the streets in Mumbai are jammed.
That sounds lovely. I wish i could see it. Perhaps if i watch BBC World news tonight they will show a little of it. I can imagine it though.
I've been searching for a particular gift for my knitting friends and late last night finally found what i was looking for, so today i can order them.
Today i'm looking forward to trying to do just a little better than yesterday in attitude, and to make just a little progress at any parts of my life.
That sounds good Hollyelise.
I am looking forward to help a friend of mine.
Today is Hindu new year. All are rushing to meet friends and family. Big traffic jams.
Soon i will leave to teach my thursday night class. There will probably be a lot of people there tonight. I'm going to teach them how to put in zippers. I have finished one big project today that required a zipper, and tonight i will perhaps finish another big project with the demonstration. It is nice to look forwrd to finishing projects.
Then i will come home and give myself a nice supper. I need to shop for food, but i will pick something nice to go with the turnip soup i made.
And at the end of the day i'll give myself a nice bath and a good book.
Happy new year Haridas!
Holly that sounds like a nice evening.
I am looking forward to (lame) Thursday night TV with my youngest son. It is the one thing we do together. He's 14 and very busy, but Thursdays are ours.
Have a nice evening!
I don't think that's lame. It's family time together, and it's pleasurable. I still remember what my mother liked to watch.
What do you and your son watch together?
I look forward to my car being repaired so I don't have to rely on others for transportation.
I'm looking forward to going back to bed.
Jase hope you get your car back soon, it is a bummer relying on others for rides i know.
I am looking forward to the weekend.
Holly - We watch Survivor. We love to guess who they will vote off!
I look forward to my car being repaired so I don't have to rely on others for transportation.
Poor Jase - sounds like my life, get one thing fixed and another breaks. Why is it that the things we really need break? Why can't it be that mug in the back of the cupboard that no one likes?
I am looking forward to getting home safely in the snow that is coming our way this afternoon. I love snow as long as I don't have to drive in it!
i am looking forward to just doing nothing on sunday LOL Tomorrow is a hectic day at work and today is shaping up to be one. Last night was the longest night ever!
oh got the car fixed ;0)
Sundays are nice that way, Jase.
I'm looking forward to fresh coffee, knitting and finishing projects, decluttering, and i might do some holiday decorating, i haven't decided yet on the last.
I'm looking forward to doing something for Christmas today.
Trish
I will too.
And i think i want to bake bread, also. That's often what i do on Sundays.
Came in to inform my friends that on this date -10th Dec. I committed the biggest sin of my life some years ago. The memory of that sin and the repercussions have made me lose my mental balance. Dec. is the worst month of year for me. I pray to God and the person against who I acted to forgive me.
Our thoughts are with you, cd. I hope they do, also. Please take care of yourself.
Long sleep. I am not sleeping well now a days.
sleeping in! and hopefully not getting iced in with this LOVELY ice and snow storms we keep having everyday!
I am looking forward to a nice hot bubble bath and cup of dark chocolate hot coco and a book! I am not getting out in this raining freezing ice for nothing! I am staying in and getting toasted...better make that warmed up...I dont have any thing to get toasted with so it can stay at the store unless they deliver? mmm I wonder.... lmao!
That sounds lovely, freebubbles.
Well i hope everyone got a good night's sleep!
Today I'm looking forward to coffee, putting bird seed out, and doing something - anything to move forward a little.
I am looking forward to getting home safely. We are also having a bout of freezing rain, so as long as I get home safe it will be a good night!
The hot cocoa sounds good also!
I am looking forward to read some books.
Teaching classes, finishing the red mittens, watching the narcissus get taller.
I didn't get the mittens finished because i had to rip, but i should finish them today and write the pattern for my students at tomorrow's workshop.
It's a cold, rainy day, more like October than mid December. It's a good day for reading, writing, and knitting.
I have a very nice new coffee... an organic roast from a Fair Trade company. Yummy.
Going home early - I love the snow.
Do you like doing things in the snow?
Yes, but not driving. I tried snowboarding with my kids once, that didn't work out too well lol. I also just love watching it, it is very relaxing. Wish I had a fireplace, that would be perfect.
I used to have an apartment that didn't have a fireplace, but i really wanted one for Christmas to hang the stockings... so i made one out of paper... i found embossed paper that looked a little like molding and i cut out "bricks" too and glued it all together on a background with a black center, and put it against the wall. Then i put candles in glass jars and put them on the floor in front of it. Silly, hunh? but we enjoyed it.
No not silly, very creative, but I think my dog would probably knock it down and then the candles would start a fire and ... well you get the idea lol.
Holly, I LOVE the fireplace that you made. It sounds so cool!!
Trish
I am looking forward to get books I have ordered.
Friday = payday always good!
Holiday party this weekend!
Another snow storm Sunday!!! yeah!!
We're expecting snow, too.
Tomorrow i'm looking forward to teaching. I get to open up the store. We're going to be making winter hats... they look interesting. I think it will be fun. I'll be knitting more mittens, too. I have been developing the pattern for them, and am knitting it in many sizes and different yarns.
The book i'm reading is starting to get good.
Just be glad you have power, Jase. The snowstorm has knocked out the power for many people, and they have no electricity or heat in their homes.
holly... we keep loosing power but i live in a town wehre there is an energy co-op so the people who loose power are the ones fixing it so it tends to come back on quicker.
But yes.. I am definately thankful for the power
oh my! Well i hope the power stays on from now on. Bless the emergency crews who work so hard to get things up and running again.
Today i'm looking forward to:
Wrapping Christmas gifts i made. Baking cookies later. Doing calligraphy. Hearing from YOU and others here!
hahahahaha!
yes, it's not like i need cookies around the house, but i'm planning on taking them into the store for my knitters this week. They'll probably hate me for it...
Last year i made "cookies in a jar" for gifts. You take an old jar and there are recipes online and you layer the ingredients in the jar, put scrap fabric on the top to cover the lid, and print baking instructions off on your computer. It makes a nice, inexpensive gift.
I am looking forward to my husband making dinner - He's off this week and I am working, so it will be nice to come home and not cook. Holly, I had the idea of making the cookies in the jar for my sister in laws bridal shower (as favors). My other sister in law wanted to choke me because she said it was very time consuming and messy. I don't know, I wasn't there hee hee.
oh, not really. I've done it and i did not find it that way. Also, if they aren't the baking types you can also do something like mix herbs... a bouquet garni... or a rub.
Or you can make bath things easily... like scented and colored bath salts and put them in clear jars. I think making cookies is much more labor intensive than gifts in a jar.
Today i'm looking forward to working with gold on my calligraphy. I didn't get around to the cookies yesterday, so i will see if i can find time tonight after class. And i'm working on a lovely soft scarf in oranges and reds for my dad's wife.
I'm looking forward to watching Part I of Jane Eyre, knitting lace in a yarn called "happy dance," and reading later.
Today I am looking forward to more improvement in my backache. I am also looking forward to watching the new year come in by having a movie marathon. We haven't decided which series to have, though. BTW, to all my friends here, may your New Year be happy and healthy.
Trish
Same to you Trish! I am looking forward to ringing in the New Year with my family and some friends I haven't seen in months. Should be fun! Then 2 days off work YEAH! what a way to start the new year!!!
I'm looking forward to SPRING!!!!
I'm getting to old to shovel all this snow ;o)
I am getting too old to shovel too, but that is what my teenage boys are for! How much snow did you get? only 4 inches here.
I don't have any snow yet... had a little sunshine earlier today.
I'd like to hear what movies you choose, babyquacker.
I think today, i'll be able to finish my lace scarf. It started out very slowly, but i'm rocking on it now. I'm looking forward to finishing it.
I'm looking forward to going for a walk today to run some errands.
I'm looking forward to getting a start on my projects for the month of January.
I'm looking forward to:
1) Getting a few pick-me-up pretty things at Victoria's Secret
2) The last day of my monthly visitor's visit
3) Getting over the last of the holidays and tromping back into the normal routine
oooo... that's right! Victoria's Secret is having their annual sale.. i'm glad you reminded me!
Today i am looking forward to knitting, reading, and looking at a clothing catalog!
Today i'm looking forward to teaching, the snow and knitting.
today i'm lookin forward to startingto make another book.my last ones had lead covers and rubber pages. i'm thinkin of softer materials and drawing and collage.today i'm also looking forward to my partner gettin back from his island visit....makin book & D's return...is this an oxymoron? or my version of 'the pram in the hall'?
Cleaning closets? I guess that is on my adgenda. and maybe a movie this afternoon.

ahhh... you make art books! I used to do a lot of mail art (a kindred art form). Welcome to Bella.
Today i'm looking forward to finishing this lace... yes, i know i've been saying that for days, LOL... but i hadn't expected dropped stitches and having to rip. Today i hope, i'll be done.
Tonight i'm looking forward to reading another chapter or two in my friend's completed manuscript. He's written a mystery novel. Much of it i read and proofed once as he was writing it, but i've waited five years to learn "who done it!"
I'm proofing again, so i have to go through it slowly, but it is nice to be doing this.
I'm also looking forward to spending some time outdoors in the sun and snow, when i go to run some errands.
Today I am looking forward to getting my bills paid so I don�t have to think about it. I�m also looking forward to cleaning up more around the house. It�s such a good thing to get life in order in these ordinary ways!
Today i am looking forward to making a little more progress in my life. It is a beautifully warm day out and i'll enjoy that when i go out. And i will have a nice class tonight.
I was in such a hurry to get to class this morning that i didn't have time to think what i had to look forward to, but as it turned out, it was a great day teaching with two very nice new students and a number of my returning students.
Now i am home, and i'm looking forward to resting. Last night we had very VERY heavy rain and high winds go throughout the night, and it was hard for anyone to sleep with all the racket. Large trees are down today but fortunately none in my yard. I haven't decided yet if i'll nap for an hour or just try to stay up and go to bed when i can sleep through the night.
I am looking forward to finishing some knitting projects tonight, and i ran into the gallery owner today and we talked briefly about the calligraphy and he wants more. So i can look forward to talk to him tomorrow about that, and then i have a private lesson tomorrow and then a class. This is good, it keeps the money flowing.
Also tonight, i really should shop for a new t.v. if i'm not too tired. The other day, through a strange accident, my t.v. started to burn (caused by water... i told you it was strange!). Crazy, crazy. Anyway, i doubt my t.v. will work again, but i've been hoping it might after it dries out. Probably though i will shop for a new one soon or even tonight. I'm a little tempted to cancel my cable and try to get away with no television, but i think, living alone as i do, it keeps me from feeling so lonely to have it.
I hope all of you are finding things to look forward to also. Sometimes we have to really look.
Today i'm looking forward to my private lesson this afternoon with a new student. I'm looking forward to starting a new set of mittens that i'm designing in a color pattern. I'm also looking forward to purchasing some purple hemp string to knit a netted shopping bag.
today I am looking forward to SLEEP! It's been a hectic week trying to get back on a semi-normal schedule being that we are coming back from the holiday weeks. Plus I have been given more responsibility at work so I am opening and closing 5 days a week and doing inventory, ordering, scheduling, etc LOL
Tomorrow I am looking forward to a not so full book (schedule) at work. I can hopefully catch up on some things then!
Congratulations, Jase, on getting more responsibility at work!
I am looking forward to a couple of things. One I will be volunteering at the school as a assistant music instructor and number two will be my new job as a victim's advocate for men and women in domestic violence situations.
Wonderful!
Congratualations on your new job! I think the volunteer job will be rewarding, also!
Yes, Thank you Holly. I am pretty excited about it myself.
Today i am looking forward to knitting on this lace market bag. In about an hour i will go meet with other knitters for the Friday afternoon group. And tonight i prepare the recipes for the bread making class i'm giving on Sunday.
Today I am looking forward to starting my prep program (training) for about.com women's hairstyles site. I am looking forward to finishing my 14 days and then graduating and being chosen as their guide so I can make a little more each month.
That would be wonderful, Jase... good luck!
Jase - good luck, keep us posted as to how it is going!
Today I am looking forward to gettin off work and going home. Also looking forward to a snowstorm tomorrow night!! I know you all think I am crazy - I am lol!
Hi, I'm new here and love the forum!
I'm looking forward to getting my closets reorganized! I feel so much better with neat closets.
The kids are assigned to clean their rooms today too so guess we'll have some stuff for the Goodwill.
Welcome Bethj - we're glad to have you here.
Hello Beth... we had a couple other people here who are also reorganizing their closets. I guess it's a normal January activity, as i notice they always put storage containers on sale in the stores when they take down the Christmas items.
I've had a good day so far. I had two new students for my morning class, and it was just R, S, and myself in the afternoon, but there were a lot of visitors including two women from Spain who were characters! In no time we were all laughing it up like old friends.
Tonight i have only one bit of work i have to do, and that is to finish preparing for tomorrow's breadmaking class... i'm figuring it will take me about 2 hours to do that, and the rest of the evening i can play and do what i want, and i'll probably finish knitting the lace shopping bag and watch television with a cat on my lap. Supper is already made... homemade black bean soup and homemade bread, so i don't even need to cook.
The soup and bread sound delicious Holly - you'll have to share the soup recipe - is it gluten free? Who am I kidding my kids won't touch beans lol
hahaha. It's pretty good... but actually i changed my mind at the last minute and had some other leftovers... it was sort of an onion pie but without the crust. I put breadcrumbs on top but you wouldn't need to. It was very good! I was thinking of putting recipes in the food section, but i won't get to it tonight.
Today we have a snow storm, and i'm actually looking forward to shovelling. Let's see... what else can i look forward to? Well, yesterday i did a lot of decluttering and got rid of two shopping bags worth of old magazines and papers, eight books and a small box of other stuff. I could do more decluttering and organizing today... it certainly feels good to get things light and in order. I didn't do any knitting for a whole day, can you believe it? So today i can get back to my lace shopping bag project and finish it, and tonight i have a class... i bet they would like to see it done.
What about the rest of you? What are you looking forward to today?
YAY Snow! good for you Holly, we are supposed to get snow Thursday night!
I am looking forward to a quiet evening at home!
I can't wait until after work when I go to my parents house to see them and my beloved dog and cat!!! I can't wait to curl up in bed tonight with my cat...
You can have mine... lolololol
Sue - we are also going to get snow Thursday night.
Finishing all of my work - I have lots of it and I want it out of my way!! Then I will go home and go to bed early.
BillieCat - I don't know if we are getting snow or just the yucky mix now, it depends on who you listen to, so I guess I will have to wait and see. How much are you supposed to get?
I think it will be a mix - I will leave work early!!!
I just realized we live in the same state lol. Maybe I will be able to go home early too!!
What part of the state are you in??? Maybe I know you.......
In the North East - kind of in that little triangle between NY and NJ - you?
Looks like I am quite a bit north of where you are.
My husband wants to move more north but I don't want to.
we are sooo off topic, but....it's nice here, getting a little crowded, but still woodsy. When I moved here 20 yrs ago, there were hardly any houses near me, now there are quite a few, but not right next door. I have empty lots on either side of me, so it is nice. we moved from Jersey, and I don't think I could live with my neighbors and arms length away from me any more.lol I don't blame you for not wanting to move, uprooting everything is difficult.
On this topic i am looking forward to getting out of work today. It has been a long day!
I guess none of us had anything to look forward to in January since there has been nothing written since New Year's Eve.
Sorry about not answering about the movies, Holly, but it has been a little crazy for me. We just watched a couple of new movies and broke our traditon of watching a "series." I can't even remember the names of what we saw. (That's the problem with not watching a couple of the same movie titles, Part 1, 2, and 3. I have 3 times the chance to remember what I watched!) HAHAHA
Today I am looking forward to doing laundry and getting things finished for my mother to visit my brother for 8 weeks.
I am thankful for some sun and blue skies and spring-like temperatures.
I am grateful that we were missed by the bad storms that hit the mid-west with such vengence. I have sadness for all the families who lost loved ones and suffered devastating loss in the powerful storms and tornadoes that hit Kentucky, Tennessee and the surrounding areas overnight on February 5th. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone living in those areas.
I am grateful that I still have my 87 year old mother alive and thankful that she is still so happy, although I AM looking forward to her visiting with my brother.
Trish
Oops, sorry...looks like I missed a FEW PAGES... yes, cleaning closets... decluttering .... all the good things in the middle of winter. Me, too!
Well, I am looking forward to lunch out with just my husband.
I'm STILL looking forward to mother visiting my brother.
Trish
Trish
Good to see you back!
I am grateful for yet another Friday - can't wait to go home. I am also grateful for cold medicines that hopefully will make this sinus headache go away!
Hi, Sue and everybody! It's good to be back, though I'm still not into the swing of things yet.
My mother is now at my brother's house and I have been resting ALOT.
Today I am looking forward to a quiet evening with just my husband and the chocolate chip cookies I just baked.
yummy and also relaxing.
Trish
I'm trying to get in the habit, of first thing in the morning, thinking of at least three things that i'm looking forward to in the day. I'm finding it helps me to be a happier person.
Today i'm looking forward to:
1. Seeing the movie tonight, The 300, with a friend of mine.
2. This afternoon going to meet friends to knit.
3. Having a REALLY GOOD cup of coffee!!!
What are you looking forward to today?
This is a very positive way to start the day. Let me think of tomorrow:
Tomorrow, I'm looking forward to:
1. Get my lip waxed. (yes I'm serious).
2. Hanging some pictures (they've been taking up the dining room table).
3. DH coming in to say goodbye before he goes to work.
Nice Moe, I like the one about your DH. Doen't the lip waxing hurt? I have gotten the eyebrows done and that is bad enough!
Today I am looking forward to going home and putting on my sweats, and maybe going to bed, my whole house is sick and I am no exception.
Tomorrow I am looking forward to snow! Maybe the last storm of the year, honestly I am ready for spring.
Nice Moe, I like the one about your DH. Doen't the lip waxing hurt? I have gotten the eyebrows done and that is bad enough!
Yes! and yes!
But it needed to go. Ok, it didn't need too and DH says he can't see it but I wanted it gone baby gone. And so it's gone and I'm happy.
Tomorrow:
* FRIDAY!!
* Movie night with DH
* Boxing day, I can take out my frustrations.
Have a great weekend!
LOL lip waxing is more painful than the eyebrows.. or my clients tell me. I tried a full face waxing and only made it half way through before I couldn't take it any more
my eyebrows don't hurt after 17 years of waxing them.
My Friday:
1.Meeting up with my BFF's at the conference I am at
2. Going out to the gay club in town
3. finishing my PPT for my workshop on sunday
4. Relaxing and having a good time this weekend
Today I am looking forward to going home early (it is snowing, and we are expecting close to a foot by tonight) I want to go back to bed for I am suffering from the flu along with about 12 other people I know.
We were all at a party last Saturday night and someone there must have been sick, because now most of my friends are sick. It was nice of that one person to share their germs!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
I'm looking forward to lighting a fire and watching a Harry Potter movie with my family this evening. It'll be a really nice end to a kinda busy day.
Plus, there is just nothing like a cozy fire on a rainy winter evening.
Mayan Hot Choclate in a BIG mug and a good book and a cozy blanket to snuggle in.
Pizza for dinner tonight. Yum!
mmm. What was the book, Phyllis?
The sun has come up and the day is showing every sign it's going to be gorgeous and sunny and warm. I'm looking forward to connecting with a few people online and then going for a long walk on the nature trail. I've been very busy for the last week and today is the first day I have to myself and can do whatever i want, so i'm not even going to decide what to do yet! I might knit, i might work, i might plant something, i might read, i can do anything, WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
1. Homemade prosciutto-parmesan bread for lunch... mmmm!
2. Painting and spackling in the spare bedroom and making it look better.
3. Tossing out a little paper clutter today... feels like lightening up!
4. My knitting class tonight.
1. Making the bed up with clean sheets and cleaning and putting away the winter linens.
2. Doing the last of the painting (i hope) in the bedroom and starting the clean up phase of the project.
3. Listening to others and finding out how they're doing.
hollyeleise, the book was all about Native American medicines/herbs/healing/ceremonial rituals - very interesting subject for me to study.
Today I am looking forward to getting my bedroom reorganized so I can set up my sewing corner and get back to making dolls and doll clothes.
Oh that sounds fun! Do you make the dolls from cloth?
Today i'm looking forward to the spring rain and storms.
I'm looking forward to the knitting group this afternoon, seeing people, having coffee, knitting on my projects.
I'm looking forward to sorting my clothes closet and getting it organized and unused things out of there. I love simplifying and scaling down. Then i'll make a shopping list for just a few items i really need.
Saturday mornings and early afternoon i teach knitting, but around the middle of the afternoon (now) is when my weekend usually begins, because i don't (usually) have classes on Sundays or Mondays. The day has been nice already mostly because of the people i've seen, but now i get to look forward to the weekend and plan what i will do for projects, and i like that.
Later today i'm going to go out for a walk to run some errands and to enjoy the sunshine before the weather changes (and get some exercise, too! I'm trying to get in shape!). Yesterday the temperature was in the mid-eighties, but it's supposed to get as low as 39 degrees tomorrow after storms. I don't know, but i kinda enjoy the weather changes.
The bedroom is so close to being finished that it's getting exciting. I have no idea how many hours i've put into repairing the walls and stripping woodwork and painting... 200 hours maybe? So now i'm just doing paint touch-ups, removing the painter's tape from the windows, and then i'm ready to remove the tools and paint cans and wash the windows and floor. I think i can finish it by Monday... i'm so excited! Then (eek) i get to move in! I've stayed in the same bedroom for.. hm... 10 years i think, so this will be a good change, but i think it will feel weird, hahaa. I've been sorting my clothes and things because my plan is to only move in the things i actually use and to get rid of the rest! I love lightening up and feeling organized.
I'm also close to finishing some knitting projects and might finish one today. I'm looking forward to putting a summer purse in the store window to attract people to making it in a workshop this summer.
I hope everyone here at Bella has things to look forward to this weekend and hope you share them with others here.
best wishes, all.
Moe, we should start a new topic on what we are looking forward to tomorrow. I am looking forward to:
1. spending the day with my girlfriend and her mother.
2. hopefully having a sunny day to plant some flowers (it's been raining here for the last 3 days).
3. having Subway subs for dinner (Tuesdays are sub days.
yummy!)
Today I am looking forward to catching up on some recorded prime time shows with my husband and doing some new exercises.
Trish
Today/night Im looking forward to getting a nice long sleep
Soooo comfy
Tomorrow I am looking forward to finishing my day at work (doing my favourite shift) then having a BBQ with friends.
ANND... coming back to BELLAONLINE because its been AGES!!!!
hi Lala,
Good to see you are still here at Bella!
Well, i have had a huge falling out with a friend of 25 years, they have done something unethical, and i'm seriously wondering if they are a healthy person to be around and if i need to let that contact go. So i am really sad today.
So i have decided i especially need today to have things to look forward to, and to rebalance my focus, and be around people who are healthy to be around. I need things to "refill my spirit."
So...
I'm looking forward to building a fire in the fireplace, and i'm calling up friends to see if they can come over. No takers, yet, but it will probably happen.
And i need other things to look forward to... let's see... my coffee! Brewing a pot now.
And what i most want in my life is love, so what might i do today for that? hm. I'll think on that.
And i'm looking forward to working on some things today and moving ahead.
Good morning, everyone.
Well, i guess things are a little better. My friend apologized sincerely... they are actually very upset with themselves. I still don't know if we'll stay friends but we're both hanging in and talking. This thing has been like a dark cloud over me, and i still feel pretty down, but I want to find the positives so much! And one thing i figure i can do, is keep looking for things to look forward to in my day.
Today my plan is to knit as much as i can stand on this urgent knitting commission. I will be glad to see myself make progress and soon having this job out of the way, so i'm looking forward to that. And while i do that, i'm going through my cd collection, deciding what to keep and not, and putting the keepers into a new binder that takes up less space. Music heals, doesn't it?
And i'm looking forward to eating lovely food today. My house is stuffed with good food at the moment, so i think i will take time to make really nice meals for myself.
And i think i'll take up zazen again, so i'm looking forward to doing that today.
What about the rest of you? What can you look forward to today? What's going on in your lives?
I am looking forward to spending time with Roger whom I have been dating recently along with a few other men. Roger is by far my favorite. After my horrible date last night, I now realize that I already have the kind of man I want in my life. I just didn't see it until last night (see Dating Deal Breakers). I think I could fall in love with him. I can't wait to see him.
I'm looking forward to going back to bed!
hi skyhaven. I hope you have a nice day today.
dmichelle... your news is nice to hear.
It's evening now, but i am looking forward to listening to music and cleaning up around my house, and hope to get a phone call from a friend.
Hi Hollyelise! Sorry you are having some difficulties with your friend. I hope it all works out - one way or another. It's tough when a long friendship goes down the tubes... I had a "best friend" (not quite for as long as yours was though) anyways, she just wasn't there for me when I needed her the most and it's a long story that I wont bore you with, but needless to say, we aren't friends anymore. Now we are more just acquaintances. We see eachother from time to time, usually when our big group of friends get together. She became a very selfish person, and I realized how toxic she was to me. I wanted to have goals and direction, and purpose and meaning in my life. I wanted to succeed, and explore and do things and meet people, and she was the opposite, in fact she WANTED to DO nothing, ever. Anyways, that was really hard on me, so I think I can relate a little bit at least.
I think music does heal
What kind of music do you most enjoy Holly?
I've had alot of things going on in my life to do with my family (not good thigns), and stress and worry, but things are slowly working themselves out. I started this online councelling thing that my work offers, it's helped a fair amount. Just in helping me find my confidence to stand up to people and get my points across clearly etc. It's been good. On the homefront, my hubby and I bought a condo - it's under construction right now, but we move in May 2009!! Im suuuper excited, and then I plan on buying a dog!! YAY! I can't wait to have a dog again.. its' great for mood therapy and depression. I've never actually been "diagnosed", but I know that I have suffered from some mild depression at least and I know that animals/walking them etc can really help with that, especially in the winter. I'll be getting that extra exercise I need. So Im definintely looking forward to that!
As for today, well it's already 9:17pm, so I'm looking forward to relaxing the night away with hubby, and having the whole weekend off with him!! Then turkey dinner at his parents house on Monday
I'm looking forward to accomplishing work, not the work itself
I'm meeting with my MasterMind group tonight - it's always fun and filled with great ideas and suggestions.
I'm just off to visit some 'old friends' to play Carrom - an ancient Indian board game.
There are only 55 minutes left of today but I am looking forward to reading a little more!
There are only 55 minutes left of today but I am looking forward to reading a little more!
I totally agree! I too look forward to that last read of the day, even if it's only two minutes...and especially when it takes your self development or personal growth up another notch. (JOY)
I'm trying to get in the habit, of first thing in the morning, thinking of at least three things that i'm looking forward to in the day...What are you looking forward to today?
I'm meeting up with an
'old' friend. The
anticipation of seeing someone again who you haven't seen in literally
years is quite thrilling! (JOY)
I'm looking forward to a forecast of possibly heavy thunderstorms today. I feel like we haven't had any in a longtime, like I remember as a child. Maybe they seemed bigger from my childhood viewpoint, but they are few and far between anymore.
So while I want everyone to be safe, and no damage done, I really want a big booming, fantastic light show
I'm looking forward to a forecast of possibly heavy thunderstorms today. I feel like we haven't had any in a longtime, like I remember as a child...
I agree Suzanne. My childhood memories of thunderstorms were all about booming thunder, lightening like fireworks and all of nature went silent.
Perhaps, as children, we just
listened more to our surroundings, whereas adults have lots of other things on their mind. Or perhaps nature was indeed more violent years ago. (JOY)
Today I've created my quick low carbs ebook, which I've wanted to do for a while! I'm so happy that is live for everyone!
Today I was happy and peaceful to snip dead tree limbs off my pines. Good solid work with an immediate return on investment.
i also did laundry and captured some of the grey water for my plants, and spread used coffee grounds from starbucks around the base of my special plants. I even make a base for my morning glory to trail up. And a storm is coming in. Wonderful negative ions.
Today I was looking forward to relaxing in my room with my laptop spending time networking online. The MIL is still in NY until next week and the hubby took the son to the gym. I had 2 hours of peace and quiet. It was an AWESOME day!

Hi Lisa, Jilly, Dianne, it�s interesting that so many of the comments are related to simply enjoying one�s own company and doing the stuff that makes one truly happy. (JOY)
I have accumulated piles of paper everywhere (again) so I am dedicating Sunday to getting them all under control, and getting my main to-do list organized and prioritized. That way I can focus in the coming week!

Yes, it's amazing how quickly paperwork piles up...and also what an impact
regular de-cluttering has on ALL aspects of one's life. (JOY)
Having dinner with my family tonight - my cousin's son is up from the Keys....an article to write and more jewelry to make.

Hi Robin, sounds like the perfect day: Family + 'Mind stimulation' + Hobby. (JOY)
Everything! That is pretty much my attitude every day because no matter what happens it's an experience that you will enjoy, learn from, and can make you a better, stronger, wiser person.

Hi Monica, that's a great way to live life! (JOY)
True, Joy, i really enjoy a nice afternoon puttering around and getting things done. I'd far rather have my own company than endure hanging out with people i don't really know for the sake of being social.
Lisa, that is great you are dedicating a day to getting your papers and to do lists organized. I think we all should try to do that once a week, or at least once a month!
How is the paper organizing going?
There's nothing I am looking forward to today - I am just trying to get through it without crying any more. i had to put down one of my kittens yesterday and my eyelids are actually raw from wiping away tears.
I even had my MIL cancel a hike i had scheduled for today with some people. I could not bear to even call anyone to cancel.
I am trying to think of what I might look forward to today. Maybe relaxing with some books and cuddling my other pets.
Oh, Jilly. I'm so sorry about your having to send over one of your kittens.
Cuddling your other pets will give you some comfort. And knowing you'll see your little beloved kitty again might console you, too. It really isn't good-bye but "until later"...that is what helps me hold on until I see my little boy again.
As for what I'm looking forward to today...I am looking forward to working out in the gym with my family. I can't believe we've turned into gym people after all. We try to go nightly when possible and we love it.
I also was looking forward to spending the day with my hubby and he surprised me with a long drive down the coast through north San Diego where we stopped at the La Costa Resort and Spa just to take in the view of the golf course, then we picnicked at a spot overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Encinitas. Pleasant one-on-one time, chatting, holding hands and cuddling in the ocean breeze. Connected with nature as we watched the squirrels and sparrows and gulls...and all the magnificent flora everywhere.
Then, back home where I gave the dog a bath and caught up with the kids. Nice Sunday. I'm feeling very thankful for being alive.
Chi - that sounds quite lovely, very relaxing and rejuvinating!
Jilly - I'm sorry to hear about the kitty. Definitely relaxing and snuggling with the other pets sounds like a good idea. Take it one day at a time.
I have finished the final cut of the 2nd out of 3 sword DVDs that I've been working on for a year. A friend of mine did an English translation of the French soundtrack so it's a lot of work moving her words around to match the right locations. It's a tournament my sword instructor was in (and won) in various French castles. So while I worked on the final version tweaking I also sorted out all my paper piles to organize them. They're all organized now! Plus right now the final DVD is burning so I can start making copies for everyone. So that will be *awesome* to have that done.
I got my final grades for English - I'm getting an A! Hurrah! I just checked my Leadership course and I'm getting an A there too. So the summer is all set!
Now to take my pile of to-do-lists and consolidate them down into one online list, and prioritize it
Congrats, Lisa!!! What great accomplishments! But did we expect anything different from you?!?!
Oh right ratchet up the pressure on me
I do feel like I accomplished quite a lot today. Progress is being made!
Cool about the DVD's Lisa!!
Jill, so sorry to hear about the kitty.
We were just playing with some new kittens earlier today, and they are so precious.
I am looking forward to getting an article written Vision Boards for my Inspiration site, picking my son up from school, and getting my budget for next week started.
thanks, lisa and deanna. I am hoping a new kitty will come into my life to keep John Crichton company and be my snuggly baby. I am in no hurry on this but am looking forward to it and know John will be so pleased.
deanna, i love vision boarding! I like to cut things out of magazines, but you could just draw or use stickers or anything that moves you. :-)
For William's physical board, I really have no clue what will go on it. Right now his "vision board" is his little grave - I am planning what will go in there with him. His little collar, some hearts i made, his birth towel and a toy, i think. Also the wad of tissues I cried into. I know that sounds weird, but they will decompose with him, my tears, commingling.
Jilly - your plans for the grave sound quite wonderful and meaningful. It is not weird at all - it is a perfect memorial for him.
I agree Lisa, Jilly, it's amazing and wonderful that you opened your heart and allowed love. Your ideas are beautiful.
You know, I believe over on the paranormal forum there is a new thread about sensing beloved pets who have passed.
My daughter just two Saturdays ago lost her beloved little rat. She has been dreaming about him and it has helped her so much.
(((hugs)))
Today I didn't get to bed until 8am or so and woke up at about 5pm. So most of the day was spent sleeping. Bob was worn down too and didn't go riding the motorcycle like he was going to, and we didn't get to the health club to officially join. So we didn't make progress in a lot of areas.
But, that being said, I just finalized a block of Mused content (letters to the editor, that sort of stuff) so that is all good and handed over to Diane. I just have two interviews to finalize and the content is all done. So that is all very good.
My office is full of little piles of things that need to be filed or mailed. So I think a good task for today will be to get through a lot of this stuff so my office is clean again and I can focus better on my computer related tasks.
Today, I'm looking forward to celebrating my daughter's 22nd birthday! Yay! She wants to go out for fresh oysters--her favorite. We got her tickets to see Gabriel Iglesias in concert. He is one of her favorite comedians, next to Jim Gaffigan.
She has headaches and struggles with her condition all the time and it's hard to keep her happy. But today, I am going to bake her a cake and take her out for some fun.
Today I am looking forward to working more on my vision board, and hopefully taking my mom home from the hospital (she has a urinary tract infection).
Looking forward to coffee in about 30 minutes with a friend.
Chi - I hope you guys had a wonderful time!
Deanna - we'd love to see your vision-board-in-progress!
Today I did work on the Green Team, which I enjoy greatly, as well as some much needed house cleaning. I also posted a few reviews. One was for a book I *strongly* disliked so I am wondering if the authors will get upset about what I posted. They put it up in my Vine area so in a way it's their own fault I got it to review it, but still, authors rarely enjoy bad reviews.
Lisa, I admire you for sticking with a book you strongly disliked! Normally, if a book doesn't grab me in the first three chapters, I just put it down - though generally that's simple indifference. I think if I strongly disagreed with its message, I may want to stick it out just to give out a review to my readers.
Today I'm looking forward to practicing two of my new songs with my son (the drummer). We are performing next Saturday!
I'll take a pic of my vision board, and post it
Today I am relaxing in celebration that my other kitten, John Crichton, is okay. So to relax i am forum posting. Then I will do some reading with my legs up the wall (a yoga pose), and then watch some Farscape episodes. I am doing yoga toes right now, in fact. A great Sunday!
Deanna - can't wait to see your board! I love seeing how people do them.
Lisa, I read your review and that book sounds horrible!Holy moly. The other reviews are five stars a piece, so actually that has me worried. Are other people not seeing what you are seeing?

Jilly, it's wonderful that even whilst dealing with death you are seeing things to look forward to. (JOY)
Jilly - authors sometimes push their friends and family to give them good reviews to bolster a book's sales
For Monday I am grateful I found my camera!! I'd lost it for *days* and had all sorts of things I wanted to take photos of!
I am looking forward to seeing my homeschooling mama friends at our Monday Park Day!
I am looking forward to getting the song, Dear Prudence, memorized (I hate being a slave to music books LOL).
I am looking forward to digging out my yarn, and doing some knitting or crocheting.
Hey, I crochet, too! What do you crochet?
You just gave me the idea of do some crocheting for fun tonight. Now that is something to look forward to!
Scarves and wraps! I still need to learn to read patterns LOL!
And, I can knit scarves and wraps. Though I can do some sort of circle thingy - what is it??? Argh!!! Anyway, it makes a hat!
I want to learn to knit a hat on circular knitting needles. I'll probably take those to park day today as the mamas there are knitting and crocheting goddesses
I was going to say I'm looking for the rain to finally stop, but instead I'm looking forward to:
1) the people I'll meet at my class seminar this weekend
2) seeing my little hummingbird head south before he freezes
3) having an excellent evening meal with family and having a great friend over for a movie
Great plans, brandan. Maybe your little hummingbird will fly here for the winter. We'll take good care of him for you!

Oh, so cool. I love wraps! I'm also into afghans and silly little stuffed things (amigurumi). Particularly food. Silly but cute. I've crocheted Halloween witches' boots to fill with candy and Christmas stockings for the kids. I have a hard time finishing the afghans (I have three half-finished now) so I like the quick ami projects.
You're inspired me to work on a prayer shawl. I'd like to make a special one to use in my prayer rituals.
Hey Lori!! I'm going to do a prayer shawl too!! I have got to get out my big box of yarn, and see what goodies await me
I remember you talking about crocheting witches boots for Halloween! I bet they are darling!
I saw a crocheted bikini thong once. I just don't know about that - though you could probably make one in no time LOL!
A thong? I spent half my life trying to keep my underwear out of that place and now here comes a fad where it's supposed to be there. No thank you.
I want to find a nice, soft yarn for my prayer shawl. And the perfect pattern.
I'm looking forward to exercising in a crocheted thong. Just kidding I'll be wearing a regular thong. LMAO!
Check out this
crocheted thong. I think this is the trend you were talking bout. I would totally wear those. Like gladiators but probably more comfortable.
HA HA Monica, now that's ONE thong I could see myself wearing - and let everyone else see me wear too!
Naw, I wouldn't imagine exercising in a crocheted thong would be comfortable - too much chafing... (or would it be more like a rug burn or something LOL!).
I agree Lori - no thank you LOL!!!
I Skype my dad for an hour each night and I always think I should be doing something "productive" at the same time. I do have knitting needles upstairs but I've forgotten how to use them. I think tomorrow I will look forward to figuring that out in the afternoon so when I Skype with him I can be knitting him a scarf! I like to make use of every iota of time I have
I also look forward to further perfecting the brand new code I just finished, which automatically handles bouncebacks for newsletters! I'm so happy I figured out a solution!!
Mostly right now I'm looking forward to a nice sleep - I pushed myself to stay up fairly late (I've been going to bed about 1am the past week or two) because I wanted to test all my code when things were quiet on the system.
Hopefully I will fall asleep quickly!
I am looking forward to seeing The Social Network in Sedona, getting my PeeTimes and uploading them to RunPee. I have a feeling the movie will be good.
Then I hope to go a nice afternoon hike among the red rocks. I think I will explore around Chimney Rock.
Getting my hair done! It's always so nice to have someone else taking care of things LOL!
And I'm hoping for a date night with my husband.
Deanna,
A date night sounds like fun!!! I hope it happens and that it is a memorable night!
I saw my movie, entered my PeeTimes and then took a nice long afternoon loop hike on the Baldwin Trail in Sedona. Very pretty and peaceful - there was no one out there but me. Then I took myself out to the Full Moon Saloon. So a really nice day.
So I had two hikes this week! That makes me happy.
Today i really need to dig in hard and get work done. With my parents coming out Monday, and an obligation i have for Sunday, this really just leaves today to get enough off my plate that I can basically not work the entire next week.

Kathy, just curious - what makes a "

For me it's honestly pretty simple:
Home brewed Dunkin' Donuts coffee with some half and half in my favorite mug of the day
Today I made a lot of progress on the coding for automated bounceback processing - so that makes me very happy!

Hopefully hearing a positive note on a company that has been keeping me waiting for about 3 weeks on a job. I took the drug test and signed the thing for the background check.
Only problem........the company was publicly declared sold on Thursday afternoon. Things won't be totally finalized til 1st quarter 2011.....but still....all this time....????

Hi Robin, how exasperating! Hope it all gets sorted as soon as possible. (JOY)
Robin, today feels like the perfect day to hear on the job!
Hope it comes through.
Today I am looking forward to starting on NaNoWriMo.
I've never done it before and am very excited

Hi Deanna, yet another major item to add to 'Deanna's Goal Thread! (JOY)
I got my computer back from the techs today - six days offline. Yeeks. today I am looking forward to handling messages in my inbox that have piled up!
To reward myself for starting to catch up, I will use the back massage thingie I found at a local thrift shop.

Hi Jilly, sorting out six days' worth of emails is a huge task - hope your back massager stands up to the job! (JOY)
I just sent out a newsletter for RomanceClass, which is another site I run, and when I got deluged with bouncebacks I realized how quickly I'd become used to the BellaOnline bounceback handler!! I will have to implement it over at RomanceClass too - it makes life so much more easy
I am looking forward to Mused submissions all being in on Sunday, to see the fantastic works of art we are entrusted with!
Having my AHCCSS meeting today. for good or for ill! Wish me luck!
Having my AHCCSS meeting today. for good or for ill! Wish me luck!
Hi Jilly, all the best for today! (JOY)
Joy, thank you for the well wishes. The meeting went ok. I have some worksheets to fill out that make me feel overwhelmed.
Today I am looking forward to getting on top of my emails and manager work.
I wanted to say YAY that I am getting on top of my manager work! I have almost everything for editor help and the trainees completed!
Now to knock what is left off my list and get today's stuff in order. My plans are to work on my frugal living topic, get an article up for the blogs topic, and then post two vine reviews. if i can get on a writing roll, then this will get done smoothly. I also have my timer set for 25 minutes - when it goes DING, I get up and clean something in the RV. YAY!
Working on my latest personal project: more self-discipline!
I need more for my college classes.
I'm looking forward to crocheting gifts for my sisters. sssh. It's a surprise!
I'm looking forward to going to my mother-in-law's home today for a birthday celebration for my husband and sons. Yum!

today I am looking forward to getting some life things in order. I already organized my morning and night cosmetics by number, which was fun and needed to be done. I have to pick up some meds and a cerfified letter, and use a coupon for 20% off my entire purchase at a local dry goods store.
I also need to select my next two vine books (wrote the reviews last night), post an article for Blogs and get going on my new Frugal Living Topic. Mostly an easy day, thank goodness.
I'm looking forward to finishing some Christmas shopping, writing a new article and teaching a class tonight

Hi Deanna, is that an XMas present from someone? (JOY)
Nope
My friend and I do trades - we are both massage therapists - and we try to trade at least once a month.
Deanna, how was your massage? Can i have one?
Today i am looking forward to finishing a novel and reviewing it, and getting caught up on some online work. It's a chilly day, so being cozy inside is the best solution.
I did finish the novel last night, so I hope to review it today. I also have a vine book to review. I have some phone calls to make (not looking forward to - not a phone person). Need to write checks for utilities. I need to publish an article for my blogs topic, and work on unscrewing a panel from a large desk in here.
So mostly writing, some phone calls and a few life things today.
Jilly - I definitely understand not being a phone person. That causes me stress too.
I am going to get a bit of writing done today too.
Good thing we like writing!
I did the desk thing yesterday, and that inspired me so much that I worked on dismantling a plywood cabinet thing in here today. I took it all out and placed a pretty table there instead. It even has the same amount of storage space. I should have done this months ago.
So I did what i was looking forward to already!
Jilly, I'm looking forward to being done with entering grades. Yesterday, I spent 6 hours entering gradebook headings. ICK!! Six hours of writing rushes by like a minute, but grading is hideous.
Thanks for the post. Hi guys, Im a newbie. Nice to join this forum.

Hi Jase, sounds like a real 'chill-out' day. (JOY)
I look forward to cleaning out my office at work. We just installed new filing cabinets. My files are full of old documents from my predecessor. Files from the 1980's. I want to clear some of it out and start making this office "my own" after almost being here 6 years...LOL...
Hardly anyone is here today because of the holidays, so there shouldn't be any "fires" to put out.
I'm looking forward to making some soup and working on my writing projects. Rain is drizzling outside, keeping me indoors where I'm all cozy with thick socks and a quilt.

Oh, and what am I looking forward to today? Well, we are going to a friend's home for a small, fun little New Year's Eve party.
I'm looking forward to a good work-out and tossing out all the left-over holiday goodies.

The day is over and evening in full swing. I am looking forward to the time when I get to snuggle with my husband, nestling my head on his shoulder, under the covers and we watch some beautiful nature show late at night.
I always tell him that my favorite place in the world is in his arms.
Lori, I always tell my husband that going to bed with him is the best time of day. We have been together more than 30 years, and I always miss the warmth when we have to be separated at bedtime.

I got goosebumps on my arms when I read your posts, I agree with Joy, lucky men!
And today I am looking forward to a long walk with my dogs.
Peace

I needed to squeeze a bunch of oranges (but my husband and son took care of that for me) and some laundry (going now). I spent some time with my husband running errands and we came home to have a nice lunch with the rest of the family.
Now, we're off to the gym. And then I need to do the bills. But what am I really looking forward to today?
Writing!
Today I'm looking forward to doing a final run with the steam cleaner on my office carpet, and having my office be the cleanest it's been in a very long time!

Looking for a new car. I am trying to see this as a chance to get something totally different, something I might have bought for fun anyway, instead of just being distraught that my other car died and I have to spend my precious money on a new one.

Hi Jilly, have a look at this article:
What Your Car Colour Says About You Have fun looking for a new car!
(JOY)
Today I am looking forward to getting out of the house. I haven't been out, except with dogs, and that doesn't really count.
I have not been to the shops for nearly two weeks and apart from the people I live with I haven't spoken to another living soul.
I have had another cold, that is two in one year. I hadn't had a cold for ten years before this. They have left me feeling run down, full of congestion and lazy.
The sun is shining so I am going to brave the cold and venture into town.
How did this thread change from, What are you looking forward to today? to What your car colour says about you??
How did that happen?
Tis okay I have worked out why lol? Thought I was going mad there!
...I have not been to the shops for nearly two weeks and apart from the people I live with I haven't spoken to another living soul...I am going to brave the cold and venture into town.
Hi Linda, I�m glad you worked out why a few comments in this thread referred to
�How your car colour affects you�. Did you make that trip into town? (JOY)
Yes thank you Joy, I went into town, I think it must have been St. Patrick's Day because everyone was dressed up and dancing in the shopping center. I stood around for quite a long time just watching them having fun.
Had a great time this weekend with friends who celebrate the Indian
Festival of Colours also known as
Holi (or Phagwa). (JOY)
Heading out to hike along the top of the Palos Verdes Penninsula. Should be a great view of the channel islands and Cataline, since it rained this morning and is sunny now. It was recommended to do this one right after a rain for the best possible ocean views. YAY!

Hi Jill, did you get my email about the
Appalachian Trail? Have you done that hike? (JOY)
I just came back from a spectacular hike along a really remote feeing area of the LA coast. I can't believe how clear the air was. I could see three islands!
Joy i did! It got buried somewhere - I will answer it when i clear out my inbox some more. Sorry about that. I never did that trail. I don't get out to the east coast very often. I would love to do the Pacific Crest Trail though. Maybe i should planning that more seriously some time.
I just came back from a spectacular hike along a really remote feeing area of the LA coast...
Hi Jilly, just out of curiosity, what has been your longest hike or trail? (JOY)
I am looking forward to getting home, after my dinner and finishing my book, then go do bed.
The Dallas Stars (7 days without a game after this game
) and also the second episode of The X-Files (liked the first - have to admit that the twist disappointed me but not totally).
I will finish final proofing of the Mused fiction and non-fiction which I adore. I will participate in an art show and drop off art for another show. Then I get to watch Bob play in a gig! So lots of amazing fun today.
I bought a packet containing eight tiny seeds, and after many weeks, five germinated. Later today I'll be separating them into five egg cups as each plant is still so tiny.
Being Black Bamboo plants, it's difficult to believe that, although they're only 10 millimetres high at the moment, each one has the potential to grow 10 metres tall!
An episode that I have not seen yet (seen more than 10 so far) of Ghost Adventures tonight, I cannot wait for it because a few months ago (no more than 4) I started to have a crush on him. I heard of him and saw some pictures or and videos of him probably but it's when he had his show Deadly Possessions that I really got to know him then after a while of liking him and then finding him cute I decided to try his other show and when I watched more than one episode on a Saturday there was a marathon is when I got that huge crush on him.

The schedule of tomorrow for the US Open and seeing Zak Bagans tonight (theres a marathon of 10 episodes and eventhough ive seen only less than 20 so far theres only 1 that i have not seen
!!!!!!!!!).
Rafael Nadal at the US Open.
Seeing Zak Bagans in an episode that I haven't seen of Ghost Adventures.
Having a good 'virtual' clear-out, i.e., old emails, unnecessary e-subscriptions, files no longer needed, etc.
The first match of Rafael Nadal. There's a woman match before his and that match is neverending. It's only 21:05 in Brisbane but here it's 6:05, thankfully I started getting to bed later before this week so it's okay. Plus Tennis has always been like that, you have to wait, and, it's worst for the players of course.
Happy Monday everyone! Do you have anything fun planned for this week? If not, add something in! Do one thing every day that moves you toward your goal!
I'm doing a TV cable interview and a social networking talk. Time to get those ebooks finished! #MondayMotivation
...I'm doing a TV cable interview...
Hi Lisa, what topic are you covering in your interview? Joy
It's about my books, probably focusing on my local Massachusetts mystery stories
.
I hate driving into Boston. I may take the train, but that of course creates its own logistical challenges. It'll eat up my entire day going in, doing the interview, and coming home, but it's a sacrifice toward the goal of greater reach for my books.
I will facilitate a DNA special interest group meeting tonight - It requires that I do a bit of studying and preparation for a subject which I do not know a lot about but am curious to know more.
I will facilitate a DNA special interest group meeting tonight...
Hi Angie, how did you come about to facilitate this group? How did it go? Joy
Hi Joy. It went really well. The meeting lasted about an hour+. We began the session by asking if there was anything we needed to review from last month. I encourage the participants to add what they have learned. I do my homework on a new topic. In this case it was how to sign up for Gedmatch and how to use it. We have a question and answer period too.
I'm chair the genealogy committee of our local historical society. DNA is a hot topic now. This is good for me because I wanted to learn more about using DNA in genealogy.
Finishing all the searches plus notes to finally finish for real my plan and the Dallas Stars.
Finishing all the searches plus notes to finally finish for real my plan...
Hi Nancy, what is your "plan"? Joy
Time to myself which started when I was getting up (i would of waited just a few seconds and could of had my full morning routine in peace).
Joy,
I need to make a lot of decisions and do a lot of things. I have done that many times in my life and always abandoned but this time I cannot even start, I was supposed to this Autumn and here were are in April and it is still not started. Maybe with a real plan that makes sense and finished I will finally start, when it is started I hope this time I can stick with it and finish because I am forty years old and not getting younger.
Finishing my plan and the Dallas Stars.
Going to Walmart and see if they received a cake that I love a lot.
Joy,
I need to make a lot of decisions and do a lot of things. I have done that many times in my life and always abandoned but this time I cannot even start...
Hi Nancy, here's something that really works. Every day do
something (no matter how tiny) that takes you closer to what you want to achieve. And if you do that small thing as soon as you get up, i.e., before emails, texts, social media, etc., it won't matter what else happens unexpectedly that day. You will be one step closer to what you want. Joy
Thanks for the tip Joy
.
It's interesting that 'doing nothing' is actually an active decision. Simply letting the day go by (of its own accord) is a useful way of freeing the mind to think more creatively...
Joy,
That can be true unless that day of doing nothing is only stress, anxiety and fear.
Going to bed (i knew the day would be long and tedious and awful and full of bad luck and the list goes on when the alarm clock went on - almost closed it and should of - + i could not finish the internet part of my night routine so have to do that later after my morning routine is done - i HATE it when parts of my routine are not done).
A lot of important things that has to do with my restart that will lead to my new life.
Not thinking about any of the things about my restart (had to give up my first decision because it became void thanks to my parents being close of losing this house - i will do my best to not think about it until Rafael Nadal is done with the next 1 or 2 tournaments then i will start again slowly while carefully follow what they do - either way i have a big savings aside so im ok) and the new season of The Leftovers.
I forgot about going on the beach.
A walk and the schedule of tomorrow for the Monte-Carlo Rolex masters.
I'm going to stop talking about going on the beach and walking because yesterday it was too cold with strong winds and today there's a snowstorm with strong winds; if I would of walked this Winter I would of did it anyway.
Snow storm? Oh my. It is 60+ F already here today. I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Stay warm, Nancy.
Mom went in the garage a few minutes less than an hour ago and she told me that it is not cold, if the wind calms down I will go walk. Tomorrow it's supposed to be a day without snow.
The schedule of tomorrow for the Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters.
Rafael Nadal and hours of peace.
A lot of important things that has to do with my restart that will lead to my new life.
Hi Nancy,
Do have a look at the following forum thread:
What would you do with your life if...Best wishes
Joy
Rafael Nadal.
I also have the hope that dad will leave today and they both will stay the night there before coming back.
Rafael Nadal and the second episode of The Leftovers (i wished though it had a replay another day earlier because of the early times i have to get up due to tennis but wont miss it anyway like the premiere).
Looking forward to some ME time after having had a baby, and mostly looking forward to having some sleep lol
It's warming up, so want to get some gardening in ...
Count my savings (in a safe and the key is hidden - will not let my parents grab a hold of any of it like they did after we moved in 2009).
I won't do that today afterall, I did something else to pass the time and I am now more tired than I was which could get me to make mistakes when counting.
The schedule of tomorrow for the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell.
During my breakfast I remembered mom has an appointment at 10:10 in Mont-Joli plus they will run errands there so today I am looking forward to some peace
!
It's warming up, so want to get some gardening in ...
Hi Susan, do you have much weeding to do before 'gardening' starts? Joy
...I wonder what tomorrow will bring? Stay warm, Nancy.
Hi Angie, I love how you've answered your own question with your tagline 'Life is full of surprises'. Joy
Looking forward to some ME time after having had a baby...
A new baby is very exciting but you can get very drained so always put aside some time for yourself...for the next 18 years or so! Joy
I am looking forward to some cooking and writing!
I am looking forward to some cooking and writing!
Hi Connie, your time-management must be 'top notch' to fit in all that along with managing 3 sites! Joy
A haircut (unless the car does not start).
I look forward to having lunch with my husband on Wednesday.
Do one thing in my bedroom.
Something important I need to do and some peace.
Yesterday I forgot to mention The Leftovers.
Do one thing in my bedroom.
I forgot to mention the fourth episode of The Leftovers.

Rafael Nadal and some peace (they may not do these errands today so its a mystery if i will have that short peace but if its not today it will be tomorrow or soon).

A new (for me) Ghost Adventures, Rafael Nadal and The Leftovers.
The schedule of tomorrow for the Internazionaly BNL d'Italia.
I look forward to having lunch with...
Hi Connie, was that a 'date' then?? How did it go? Joy
Hi Nancy, is that "peace" from everything around you? Did you achieve it? Joy
When I talk about peace it's always when my parents are not where I am. Even when they are in the yard that gives me peace since at least they are not in the house.
The schedule of tomorrow.
Doing one thing in my bedroom (small again but soon i will start really working there so i can finally start sleeping there but only the day before my parents put the house for sale).
Looking forward to a warm and sunshiny day!
Going to Walmart to see if they have received a cake I love.
We'll be watching 2 of our fav shows - Hinterland, followed by Outlander. I did read all 12 books ...
One important thing and Ghost Adventures.
We'll be watching 2 of our fav shows - Hinterland, followed by Outlander. I did read all 12 books ...
Hi Susan, I recently watched Hinterland for the first time. The Welsh language sounds so complicated when compared to French or Spanish say. Joy
Hi BB Lee, on Body Care or on a different subject? Joy
Doing one thing in my bedroom (small again but soon i will start really working there so i can finally start sleeping there but only the day before my parents put the house for sale).
Hi Nancy, are they hoping to move locally or further afield? Joy
Looking forward to a warm and sunshiny day!
Come to the UK! The papers said we hit the hottest day in 176 years. Joy
Joy,
Who knows with them. They rarely do what they say they will do plus mom is dad's slave so she always ends up doing what he wants.
He does not want to move because this place looks good and since he is a show-off this is perfect for him but they have zero choice since they won't afford it in about three or two years. Mom wants to go far then she wants to stay near then she says when dad is not there to hear that this time she will have a say then she says she wants an apartment then a small house then a big house.
I am just staying to see if they for once in their lives will act like a sane person but I for sure am not betting on it.
Despite being raised by them who cannot budget and love debt I have never been in debt in my life and will never be. I have enough money for a new life and my old age so money wise I have zero stress.
If there is no television where the kitchen is, the new house needs no renovation and they can afford it until they die then I will follow at least for a while to get more money in my savings.
There's three houses in my favorites that would be perfect (another 1 was gone quickly - that city was perfect too); one has a smaller house on the property, one has an apartment behind the house attached to the house and the other has the perfect amount of rooms all placed perfectly plus all they would have at the least 50000$ aside.
Mom technically knows how to budget (she always had to go behind the mess dad makes to make it ok) but again he always makes the decisions and he cannot budget plus for him money is to be spent and to appear good to other people.
It is a shame that I am not younger because I would move to another province, with my age and that amount of money I cannot, I would not have enough money come retirement.
The schedule of tomorrow for Roland Garros.
I will have to wait for the last two episodes of The Leftovers, it's on HBO so no worries there, I will be surprised if I am not done with it before my friend in Australia has seen every episodes (it was the second this week for her and her husband). If the tournament would of started Monday it would of been okay but combined with my insomnia there's no way even if Ralfie starts Tuesday. This is my last Tennis tournament so I do not want to be like a zombie during it.
The schedule of tomorrow.
The schedule of tomorrow.
The schedule of tomorrow.
Oh, it's a weekend. Just gonna stay at home, eat, sleep, read and relax. Gonna take a long warm bath, too.
The schedule of tomorrow.
Hope the rain would stop soon.
Thanks to the morons in charge who started play late eventhough they knew since before the first day of the tournament that today would have lots of rain his match and the other men quarterfinal was not played and the two women matches are not done yet.
The schedule of tomorrow.
The schedule of tomorrow (which will be my last tennis match ever).
I'm going to have to find it on the internet because thunder has started and sometimes when that happens especially when there's lightning too (so far none of that) the satellite goes off, that sucks since this is my last Tennis match so hopefully I won't have to watch a part or parts on my computer plus here electricity does go off sometimes and mostly when there's a storm of any kind so there's that stress too
!
And now we have lightning
!
I did not stress about the weather during the match because it calmed down before it started and he won his tenth Roland Garros
! Very awesome last Tennis match especially since he was dominant from start to finish
!
I've been under the weather since Wednesday night. I've been hibernating all weekend. I hope I am better tomorrow as I have two things on the calendar which I need to handle.
I hope you feel better soon!
Thanks, Nancy. One thing I did while hibernating, I read a book. I haven't read a book in two days in 20 years!
Yes and it was his tenth at Roland Garros, nobody in the open era has done this
!
He was being interviewed on public radio - I walked in towards the end of the conversation. That is quite an accomplishment.
The schedule of tomorrow (which will be my last tennis match ever).
Hi Nancy, is that because it's the end of the season or because you'll be switching to another sport? Joy
Oh, it's a weekend. Just gonna stay at home, eat, sleep, read and relax. Gonna take a long warm bath, too.
Sounds like a great way to chill out after a busy week. Joy
...One thing I did while hibernating, I read a book. I haven't read a book in two days in 20 years!
Hi Angie, what was the book? Joy
Joy,
There's a few reasons. First I will not be able to keep watching soon (because of the times that keep changing since that sport is played all over the world - for me its always live and missing nothing when i watch sports) and also he will have to retire soon. I figured this was the perfect time to stop and thankfully he won his tenth Roland Garros for my last ever match of that awesome sport
.
...One thing I did while hibernating, I read a book. I haven't read a book in two days in 20 years!
Hi Angie, what was the book? Joy
The Marian Option by Carrie Gress.
I'm going to start Will Wilder, The Relic of Perilous Falls by Raymond Arroyo today. It's a Young Readers book.
Counting my savings, changing my email address (like usual also the quote that come with it and Change Canada + 2 avatars and the quote for SanrioTown + picture for CC) and a few other things (purse + wallet + sunglasses + keychain).
One decision and five important things.
Turns out I will wait to do these things.
water aerobics this morning, a meeting, lunch with a girl friend.
A little peace (it started when i was sleeping).
Checking Walmart to see if they have received the cake I love (probably mom who will do that during my appointment).
Looks like mom will not come so I will be stuck alone with dad who is more psychotic than usual the past days
.
There was a problem with the water pump so she called a plumber and he is here finishing so mom will be able to come (we have to leave at about 14:00 and its 11:55 here).
Took my mother in law to the drug store, Walmart, and Food Lion. They are refurbishing the store and she wanted to see what they have done. It was just an excursion. Tomorrow is her birthday. She is 92. I will take her to O'Charleys tomorrow for breakfast after church.
My daughter and her husband and two sons and I went to breakfast/lunch with my mother in law. She is 92 today.
I was looking forward to our second Father's Day with our sons and a friend. It was wonderful.
Nothing unless I finally hear from my parents that they will put the house for sale, if it is not today then starting tomorrow I will watch a new movie per day and the day I hear them say that I will watch the introduction of Michael Fassbender's new character in the Prometheus world
.
A new movie or if I am told that the house will be for sale the video.
Had to run errands and that will not leave me much time on the internet so I decided to not watch a new movie today to give me more time (theres a bunch of websites i did not check yesterday so thats double to check for all these + i want to finish the fifth tower defense of bloons i have 15 track left there).
Playing games I haven't played in a long time, I have fifteen online versions still not won on Playrix, the past months I haven't played a lot there and I want to focus on mostly those I haven't played lately.
Finding out what dad will do after reading the letter, he saw it and went to the grocery store before I got up, mom said that he did saw it.
I would like to go to the pool today. I had to go to the grocery today as I did not realize that I was out of bread. So, I did my weekly shopping several days early.
Dessert - I made tiramisu last night for today's dessert.
Some peace which actually happened when I was in bed, at least I was alone for that time, could of gotten up when they left to have my morning routine alone but it was a crazy idea considering the time they left and when I had gotten to bed.
Make sure that the plan I kept changing lately is now fully finished.
Sons of Italy picnic today. Apple pancakes for dinner.
weeding the garden around the pumpkin and squash plants!
I'm looking forward to learning!!!!
Finishing my bedroom (only containers with clothes and other stuff needs to be put in the closet then take out a sheet on the mattress and get rid of the dust - will start sleeping there the day before the house is for sale unless i decide to get away soon).
Nancy, make a plan.
Tonight I am attending a Revolutionary War Roundtable Meeting. There will be dinner and a guest speaker, Dr. Glenn Williams will present “Lord Dunmore’s War: The Last Conflict in America’s Colonial Era.â€
Well today is pretty much over but I spent the entire day looking forward to coming to my grandparents' house. Tomorrow I look forward to school shopping for my son and spending time with my son, mother, and grandmother.
I've recently returned from a holiday in Scotland and am now looking forward to organising the photos I took into various categories.
...It was just an excursion. Tomorrow is her birthday. She is 92...
Hi Angie, sounds like she's a pretty strong lady (in mind & body). Joy
weeding the garden around the pumpkin and squash plants!
Hi Susan, have you a favourite recipe for squash? I once had 'curried squash with shrimps' which was delicious! Joy
I'm looking forward to learning!!!!
Hi Yvonne, have you started something new?? Joy
...Tomorrow I look forward to school shopping for my son and spending time with my son, mother, and grandmother.
Hi Katrina, it's said that you always pick up the best gems of knowledge when you spend time with 'someone very young' and 'someone very old'. Joy
Finishing my bedroom...will start sleeping there the day before the house is for sale...
Hi Nancy, sounds like you're getting through the jobs that need to be done. When does the house go on sale? Joy
Joy,
I have no idea. Mom wanted to paint and she did. Right now she is doing some repairs, when these are done and perhaps some paint touchups then all she says she wants to do is clean the house and make sure the yard looks good too. I would not be surprised if she keeps finding things or and dad freaks out and says that they will not put the house for sale. If this is done then they will do like they always have done (unless 1 or both makes sure this house never sells which by the way will mean in about 2 years they will lose it) which is pick a house that they will not be able to afford and that will need many repairs. Either way I do not care I have enough money to have a new life away from them, if I stay to at least see what they do I will at least have a little more money aside. If they do pick a house that they can afford and where we all have a room each for ourselves then I could stay there a while and get more savings.
M-W-F - water aerobics.
Dropped by the local historical society for a visit.
Drug Store.
Grocery Store.
Genealogy and more genealogy.
Finishing my plan, I have said it many times and most of the times I thought I was done, it was just one thing that I thought I had finally decided on but the past weeks I kept thinking about it and I finally last night had a genius thought about that.
Looking forward to catching up on a whole lot of work then night yoga! :)
Count my savings again, I have to make sure I did not make a mistake
.
Going to the farmer's market (FINALLY!!!!!!! first dads excuse was that he did not know where it was then it was i dont know the schedule then it was that it was too far eventhough that town is about 5 minutes drive away then it was that he did not want to go there - monday afternoon mom told me when we were all upstairs that he wanted to go this week) and Ghost Adventures.
Dtour lied, the episode shown tonight is not new
! Plus the farmer's market is not even that, almost everything that was being sold was not food
.
Preparing my two rooms so that it looks good in the picture on Remax and start sleeping in my bedroom.
I ran most of my errands yesterday so today was laundry, and writing. It has been amazingly cool the last couple of days a wonderful heat break in the middle of summer...feeling inspired! Looking forward to finishing at least two more articles.
The real estate agent coming this afternoon, mom called him when I was in bed.
Seeing our house listed on Remax (by tonight its supposed to be there or tomorrow).
Seeing our house listed on Remax (they are slow here - normally the same day of the next day it is listed on the internet).
Get more Minions Kinder Surprise, I only miss one to make the complete collection (the other is complete) plus I like that chocolate
so I hope there's some left.
Cleaning the kitchen with my cockatiel on my shoulder!
My first Bird was a Cockatiel
! Her name was Cocotte and she was a Grey Cockatiel. Do you have a female or male, what breed?
My plan was to go and buy a new pair of shoes today but there was a lot of construction going on and so I made a U-Turn and went to another mall.
I purchased some Tea from Teavanna and two tops from Dillards.
I met a gentleman at the historical society. He made a donation of books.
Renewed memberships at Henricus Park and called in a renewal for a children's magazine for my grandson.
Enjoyed myself.
And I can again forget to watch a new Ghost Adventures
at least this time I learned that a few hours before instead of when it started
!
Rain, work at historical society, sign up for an online DNA class, arrival of carpet.
Dinner tonight with friends at a new restaurant.
Rain for a couple of days.
Going to the nurse at my drugstore, I am hoping she can clean both of my ears of the extra ear wax that has been there for years and tell me what is on my back left hand is nothing plus help me with an infection so I do not have to go to the emergency room which is the only way to get treated since I have no family doctor and no clinic around here take people without a doctor.
Nancy, hope you have a speedy recovery and all else is well.
Angie,
Thanks
!
How did your root canal go? Are you completely recovered from it? I could not understand when you said you were looking forward to it but now that darn infection if I have to go to the emergency room I will look forward to it so I get it!
Well, I'm still having some after effects - sore jaw, etc. but at least it is not throbbing any more and I am on the road to recovery. Thanks for asking, Nancy. I hope you feel better soon too.
That sucks that you are still having after effects but I am glad that it is not throbbing pain.
Unless the nurse tells me to not try anything that is available in the drugstore (i may have a yeast infection - first ever - waited too long though because it has been getting worst since monday night) I will try it and if it does not work then emergency room, this is insane though that now this is the only option for those without a family doctor
.
I am looking forward to staying home on Saturday. I dearly love to stay home.
I'm looking forward to getting the front garden trimmed for winter, but right now it is raining heavily!
Go to the hospital maybe, it really hurts since the shower and if I do not go today it will be tomorrow.
Take the pills, disgusting since there's two at a time and today it is twice plus I have to chew them but I want that infection gone.
The pills again for the same reason.
The pills again for the same reason, I have no idea how I keep going, as long as those pills do not make me sicker I can do it I believe.
my grandson comes over today - it's Friday.
Nancy, hope all goes well.
Thank you so much Angie! If I can keep eating those pills and keeping them inside the infection will be gone because there is barely any pain now but the rest I do not know because I am too scared to look (the last time i looked is the day before i went to the hospital)!
Have fun with your grandson
!
The two pills but since most of the first of last night was lost due to one swallow going the wrong way I am afraid it won't work so that I will have gone through all that for nothing!
The two pills again, last night I got major side effects in addition of the taste and the feeling of wanting to throw up, as long as I will not feel that way before taking the pills I think I will be able to get through it!
Not taking any pills and going to the hospital, I decided when trying to fall asleep to wait at least one day for the new antibiotics (the pharmacist said to not wait too long but that i could a little), the taste of the devil pills are still on my tongue and I still am sick in other ways, if I have to do another round of antibiotics because of the wait I will accept it, for me this is worth it because of how awful these hell pills made me feel, not to mention my poor stomach who seems scared since Saturday of everything I put in my mouth.
The last day before taking the new medication plus my waxing appointment (the talk with her will be nice and maybe calming).
I may start the pills Friday instead, I will make up my mind some time before my night routine
, I do know that Friday is the maximum to wait because otherwise I really risk having to take it again or another medication.
The last day before taking the new antibiotics.
The first then the second pill.
The third then fourth pill.
The fifth and sixth pill.
The seventh and eighth pills.
The ninth and tenth pills.
To finish my artwork yesterday when back from works, art for my bigger sister, for her birthday, I draw a portrait for her.
It is clear and warm and dry, finally - so today will be a gardening day!
The twelveth and thirteenth pills, I actually for a few days really was looking forward to it but now it looks like a miracle is needed to not have to go back to the hospital when that medication will be over, it is working but the infection is still there.
The thirteenth and last pill (unless a miracle happens i will have to take more - anyway i have to go back to the hospital tomorrow because of my tongue).
Going to the hospital and starting what they will give me for my tongue, for the infection until I am told it is a must to start what they will give me tonight that will be started tomorrow.
Unless not until
! I have a major headache on the left that goes to my neck and should but I cannot take any aspirins because it will be another awful taste printed on my tongue
!
Shoulder not should, okay I am out of here even with another error!
Getting some more gardening done, cleaning up the front garden, going to the market ...
There is no medication for my tongue but I can help the healing of it by using salt and water or the thing that replaced amosan.
I also have another three days of the pills because ten days should of been prescribed to me not seven, I will start it tomorrow because tonight the way I feel there is no way that I will be able to eat it and keep it too.
I just hope that one day off will not stop these antibiotics working on that infection (that doctor was VERY angry when he saw that it was just a 7 days prescription not 10)!
Two pills at different times then before bed checking if the infection is still there.
Two more pills and before bed checking if the infection is still there.
The last two pills and checking before bed if the infection is still there.
I'm going to a Catholic Women's Club tea this afternoon with a friend. I look forward to meetin gup with the other ladies from around the Richmond area.
Ghost Adventures (it may be a lie though - its written like its a special or another show of theirs but on IMDB its not at all anywhere) and checking before bed if the infection is still there (if by bad luck i get the first symptom back or the pain comes back i will need to see another doctor).
I knew it, it is the same episode but they added tweets and stuff so I did not watch.
Either check the infection before bed or call a private clinic (it felt weird before i got up - it certainly is not getting better but no pain + no smell so far).
Taking a tour of the Virginia House and gardens.
Hi Angie, is it very old? Joy

Getting some more gardening done, cleaning up the front garden...
Hi Susan, 'gardening' never finishes but what a lovely peaceful hobby to have. Joy
Hi Sid, welcome to the Self Development forum. Joy
Joy,
Thanks
! It is something that is not serious but I cannot get rid of it
!
It's late now. But what I looked forward to last night is what we did today: visit Antonio Gaudi's fantastic church La Sagrada Familia. Over ninety years after his death, it's still incomplete. But it's supposed to finished in 2026, a century after Gaudi's death. I may well be too creaky by then to visit again, but you never know! It's definitely a unique place - "unique" in its original sense, meaning one of a kind. Nothing even close.
Hi Angie, is it very old? Joy
Yes and no - moved from England. Mr. Weddle was in the foreign service and when he married Mrs. Weddle they purchased all kinds of furnishings for the house. It was there intention to donate it to the Virginia Historical Society. It is incredible.
Here is a link
Virginia House, Richmond VA
Starting new exercising plan..hope it last for three days or more.
Calling the private clinic for an appointment with a doctor (ill have to pay but i do not care I WANT THAT INFECTION TO BE GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
Had to go to the hospital thanks to no private clinics in my region. The infection was cured but I have another one that is less severe so I have one pill and then an exterior cream and if that fails there's another exterior cream and if that fails then back to the hospital.
The pill, Hell's Kitchen and start the cream.

The fifth game of the Dallas Stars, Ghost Adventures and the backup cream unless my infection is gone.
Curb Your Enthusiasm and if the infection is still there the backup cream.
Going back to the hospital (if im out when the drugstore is closed i will put the backup cream - if the new prescription would end when the Stars will play i will do the same so that at the last day or the following day if it ends a night i have to go back i would not when they are playing).
Getting the new prescription, the sixth game of the Dallas Stars and either continuing the backup cream (the doctor said that not only i could continue it last night [anyway had no choice since my drugstore was closed by the time i saw her] but i could also continue it another day or 2) or start the new cream.
If it starts raining in the next like two hours I will go get the cortisone cream (mixed up at the pharmacy yesterday - first they did not have it then when they called it was like they had misread the prescription and they had it
so yeah who knows what the hell happened but they did talk to the doctor so at least i know they will give me what she prescribed me) and put the backup cream (again it was better with the discharge so its not a negative to wait for the other cream - yes its painful but if i start it and its only the inflammation left it may go away faster).
Getting the last prescription, the seventh game of the Dallas Stars and either the backup cream or starting the cortisone.
Hell's Kitchen and either the backup cream (there is still less discharge every day so my hope is that it keeps at it until none remains so i only have the inflammation to deal with) or start the cortisone.
The eighth game of the Dallas Stars, Ghost Adventures and either the backup cream or start the cortisone.

Nancy, what is Canada's worst driver, a TV series?
Angie,
Yes. It is their third season. They pick really awful drivers and then at the end one gets an ugly trophy and the title of Canada's worst driver. I think there was an American version for at least one season a few years ago.
It is really scary seeing those idiots and psychopaths drive. I am far from an awful driver but I haven't driven in a few years because I am too stressed and I know that makes me a dangerous driver (they have those types of drivers too).
One of the judge is a retired cop and they also have one therapist and two driving specialists (1 is good at high speeds). The host has aged years since the beginning because at the end he is a passenger with the last three drivers before they decide who is the worst (he also did 2 seasons of driving in countries where it is basically a hell to drive - that aged him too).
Thirteenth season not third.
I'm looking forward to going outside in the drizzle and doing more gardening. The temp. is 60F. which is not too bad in the rain - yes, I was brought up on a farm where we went outdoors in all weather ...

Nancy, I guess he would age if he has to ride with these drivers. There are some careless people out there behind the wheel.
It is very frightening just to watch, knowing that there are many drivers like them and even worst around us is very scary!

Hi Nancy, numerous infections can disappear with a simple change in food-intake, e.g., completely eliminating preservatives and all dairy & gluten products for just a 2-week period. Joy
Joy,
I was told to eat things like yogurt (not sweet enough - was told to try greek yogurt which was worst than normal yogurts) or take the probiotic pills but I hate yogurt and cannot swallow pills (would of maybe tried that but with all the antibiotics i had to eat im done with eating pills).

Joy,
I like it. It has gotten less interesting the past years and I hate that they are doing one this year with previous contestants but I love Gordon Ramsay so I will watch until the end unless it becomes really awful which is not the case now.
Changed a few things in one of the two notepads (or both) I need to "clean" (finally finished the "cleaning" of my favorites a few days ago - now only the 2 notepads i need to deal with - 1 has many things on it [basically everything i think of] and some has to do with the smallest notepad so i will put these things on that 1 after the smallest is dealt with) and either the backup cream or start the cortisone.

I have had the day off today. My grandson had other plans! Tomorrow is Veterans Day. We have an event at the historic courthouse tomorrow, color guard, speakers, memorial for fallen military. It is expected to be a bit on the chilly side but sunny. It is a Saturday so I hope we have a good turnout.

There is a new Ghost Adventures on Dtour but I am too tired with the night I just had to watch that, anyway they always show the same episodes so I'll see it soon, there is another one I have missed a few times and that one too I am sure I will see it soon or at least one day. Of course if I had a Hockey game I would still watch. Oh and this week I have for a second time this year to watch Hell's Kitchen on the internet, decided this year that I would stop watching half of a show and the rest after a game.
Veterans Day ceremony - I'm dressed warmly and will head out after lunch. It is cold today.

Saturday night I noticed the full moon and mentioned it to my mother in law who was with me at the time. Last night it was very much so brighter.
Angie, yes, they have gone back so far in extracting DNA. The progress is quite amazing to me. My mitochondrial DNA is Haplogroup W with markers. I got it tested with the National Geo project some time ago.
Mine is K1c2 Origin: Eurasia, Arabian Peninsula, & Levant 100 to 7500 years. I'm a new kid on the block I guess. I have 1/2 Italian which makes me Heinz 57 (57 varieties).
What is haplogroup W?
I am still in a fog but am taking a class at this time.
I hope to figure it all out. mtDNA is a bit more challenging.

Tucker Carlson has always been someone I liked despite working for Fox News when I first saw him (or perhaps he was not there yet - anyway he is not 1 of the many AWFUL journalist + he is cute and he does not take himself seriously), one day in August I started only getting my news from the channel The Liberty Hound on Youtube and almost (at least during that time) all their videos were of him so I became a fan and soon after a crush developed which has not left, I then started only checking Very Fake News for my news and they did not post a lot (again at least during that time) and not a lot of those videos were of him but I decided that later I would only watch his videos so I found seven other channels and today has been the twenty-third day that during the day I find his videos (started where i was when i stopped checking the first channel mentioned) and then by each day (only started doing that for oct 4 - it was too difficult to find the doubles so ended up with a new system) are put together and the doubles and triples and so on are deleted, I developed that system later so I only have all the October 18 aside and only watch all until October 8 so I am very late.
Tomorrow I won't watch a new movie and besides washing my bedding like every Sunday and the every day things I do I will just focus on finding the videos, if I can get them all I will be able to only focus on watching. Plus there are the three days of christmas so that idiotic time of year will go by quicker this year.
If I am all caught up when we will finally have visitors or if I am healthy before then I will visit the seven channels every morning until the house is sold or we have visitors to get all his videos to watch the same day and since it will only be for one day (except the first day i will have to finish watching all starting the first of that morning) it will be easier especially since it will be waiting for me in my favorites (i send all to my friends via email and none of my friends are complaining and 2 in particular love it), if I am not caught up I will just start watching him on television then and stop that.
There are a few subjects I do not agree with him mainly religion and abortion (he lost an interview with a satanist in september and it was all because of his faith - he could not remain professional), climate change (i can see him change his mind 1 day) and gun control (he just go off the rails - he went off on 2 perfectly sane guests in the start of october or maybe the first was end of the previous month) but who cares; first of all we cannot find one person who has the exact same opinion on every subjects as us and also he is one of the rare real journalist, and yes his cuteness and charm does not hurt either!

I decided while finishing my morning routine to not watch the movie, this sucks because I only have one more time to watch it which ends up on a day where I had to get up early because of an afternoon Hockey match so I may be too tired then so who knows when it will again play on an uncut movie channel, it lasts almost three hours and I got up too late considering how much things I have to do (all on the internet but not all will be done before the movie).
I did not finish figuring stuff out yesterday so I will do it today since I do not have anything else to do besides the internet things.
Will go to visit my friend cum girlfriend after a long time.
The cortisone, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon, finish to figure stuff out (only 1 thing is left to figure out so i can move on and start what i have in my mind), Hell's Kitchen (i hope Elise finally goes away - the previews last week were so ridiculous it was saying would she finally break and shes been doing that while being a psychopath since the start!!!!!) and if the inflammation is still there the cortisone.

Do you get a marathon of his shows from the week? You must like Tucker Carlson.
I watch him on YouTube. I always liked him (the only 1 i could stomach from Fox along with Shepherd Smith who lost his mind the pas few months BUT i think he was not on Fox when i first saw him). Then in August I only got my news from The Liberty Hound on YouTube and almost every videos were of him so I developed a crush, after that went on Fake News for news and there were barely any of him then I found seven other channels and when I was able to get to where I was at before watching only Fake News for new I got them all (took a while - then was watching whatever and i soon saw that was stupid so ended up with a system), started watching one per day (the system) and when I finally get all the days together (im 70 days behind technically) I will be able to watch more than a day per day and only do one visit per night of the channels to get all the previous day videos and set the same day aside in case more is posted. Sometimes some doubles do get by but I guarantee that I have not deleted any videos that had parts or were entirely not seen by me. For the days where there is no videos I get one that is different (like the last was his last show on MSNBC - he had something done to show at the end - lets just say he was not heartbroken to leave that channel lol). I will watch him on television one day but like that I can basically see most of his episodes if not all sometimes. Today I am watching November 5, only the following day is found but will do at least two later.
Oh and that thing I was supposed to do today turns out I do not have to do it today, it will be Wednesday or Tuesday.

All done but for nothing because it did not work

Hi Nancy, I remember you mentioned some time ago that you used to write. Have you resurrected your writing in any way, e.g., blogs, personal diaries, etc? Joy
It is full of surprises. As a result of all the cancellations and rescheduling, it has all worked out OK. Be joyful in all things.
The cortisone, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon, errands (1 that i cannot wait for is the drugstore to get a new melatonin), if the inflammation is still there the cortisone and try the new melatonin (the same brand and same way of using as the last BUT that 1 worked 7 times and it was 5mg so the 10mg should at least work longer).
Joy,
The only writing I do is notes; things I have in my head, things I need to do, things I need to buy, things to remember, things for later and other kinds of note like recipes (almost all are in the same notepad of my computer).

Agree. :) We always have a call once in a day and realize that something never changes.
I called my girlfriend from elementary school the other day. We haven't seen each other in years but when we get started talking, it's like yesterday.
The cortisone, find another melatonin (first i will give a review of that horrible 1 i tried last night), continue the Tucker Carlson marathon and if the inflammation is still there the cortisone.
By the way yesterday I finally had the guts to check (last time was either start of autumn or end of summer) the blue house that would be perfect and I was so relieved to see it was still available, the others not (only 1 made me a little sad - the other was too pricey so i was going to delete it anyway).
That's the beauty of a true relation. :) Good times pass faster. and Bad times take about years to complete a minute. lol

The cortisone, finish planning something, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon, Ghost Adventures, if the inflammation is still there the cortisone and a new melatonin (it has 4 different dosage so will try the first - it says that we can take 2 but its just that plant and added flavor and 10mg is the max for that plant and these gummies are 2,5mg so i figured taking 3 or 4 would not do any harm - lets hope i only need 1 or 2).

Will watch that episode later, they always show the same episodes so it should not take a long time until it shows again, I have two more like that waiting to be shown when I can watch, the one of tonight there is a rapper I do not know so it does not interest me much, the other two I just could not watch when playing.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (found 1 day yesterday - will watch november 26) and start cleaning my two rooms again (the last time was either last sunday of august or the first or second of september - all it did is that theres dust and piles of clean clothes in the bedroom and piles of papers in this room).

Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (will watch november 28 - found 6 days yesterday - i should at least finish december today).
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (will watch november 29 - yesterday found 11 days).
Check the blue house (checked it at least once [mostly once] a day since i talked about it), continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (will watch november 30 - did not find any day yesterday but i finished adding the links that separates the days [use whatever from amazon] and starting today instead of deleting after im done watching a day i will get it down and like that no need to add anymore), calculate something important, check the blue house (if still available this morning), the Dallas Stars and check the blue house (if still available).
...I decided to stop the cortisone...it has not worked at all!
Hi Nancy, has anyone investigated if it might be food-related, e.g., sugars, gluten, cow's milk, etc? Joy
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday i found 4 days - there were 6 new [still do the visit of the channels first after what follows the morning routine] - watched november 30), an important search, check the blue house and the Dallas Stars.
Joy,
They did not but I highly doubt this is it because nothing about my food habits has changed. The same goes with the soaps I use from in the shower to the washer. The only thing that has changed is the stress that is getting worst with every new day.
Check the blue house and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday i watched december 1 - there was 5 new - found 5 days).
Check the blue house, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (there was 4 new - watched december 2 - found 8 days) and the Dallas Stars.
Check the blue house and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 3 new - watched december 3 - found 5 days ~ the goal today is to finish january and start february then do a lot tuesday and wednesday the 12th has to be done ~ if i do not do that the following day i stop watching him on internet so miss everything not watch and watch him on tv).
I forgot to mention that I will try the maximum dosage of that melatonin tonight.
Check the blue house and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there were 2 new videos - watched december 4 - found 10 days).
Check the blue house and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there were 7 new videos - watched december 5 - found 6 days).
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there were 5 new - watched december 6 - found 3 days), check the blue house and a new movie with Michael Fassbender (BUT with also the untalented whore Jennifer Lawrence).
I'm looking forward to complete some household chores, spring cleaning.
Heading to the market haha

Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched the rest of january 6 and all of 7 and 8 plus most of 9 - there was 2 new ~ will soon only take care of the same day at night after the visit before the night routine instead of just the previous day) and the Dallas Stars.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched the rest of january 9 and all of 10 and most of 11).
Finish reading Deception Point by Dan Brown - 3rd time through but worth it!
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched the rest of january 11, all of 12 and some of 13 - checked all the previous day - there were no new video so got 1 from the extra pile) and put an idea in writing to see if it would be a good idea to do or not.
Finish reading Deception Point by Dan Brown...
Hi Susan, have you read all of his other books? Joy

Joy, yes, I've read all Dan Brown's books to date. A couple of weeks ago read Origin, his newest. I reread them regularly to get more of the subtle nuances. He's an amazing author!
Since it so cold and windy out, I'll work on my own writing while indoors ... :)

Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (there was 2 new and i was not too sure if it was doubles or not so just left it there but if i had to bet i would say it was both doubles) and the Dallas Stars.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (watched january 30 yesterday - there were no new so got 1 from the extra pile) and MasterChef Junior.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon...and MasterChef Junior.
Hi Nancy, what do you think of Master Chef Junior when compared to the original? Joy
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched january 31 - there was 5 new and 1 was a double) and the Dallas Stars.
Joy,
I do not like it. Too childish and yes I know they are kids but still they are supposed to be good at cooking even at their young age so it is supposed to be more serious. I would not watch normally but Gordon Ramsay is there and I am a fan. I was not happy when I saw his last Hell's Kitchen was old contenders (ESPECIALLY when i saw the psychopath Elise was back) but again I watched because of Gordon Ramsay. It is especially worst with MasterChef and MasterChef Junior because of the woman, she is more than annoying!
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 1 - there was 8 new and 1 was a double) and the Dallas Stars.
I will be able to try the first dosage of the new melatonin tonight since that package arrived less than an hour ago, if it works I will take it again tomorrow night.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 2 - there was 9 new and 3 doubles + 1 could be a double too but was not sure so left it there).
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 3 - there was 1 new and it was not a double) and the Dallas Stars.
I forgot to mention MasterChef Junior.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 4 - there was 2 new but from the previous and including the 1 found the previous day no double so no new of that day got 1 from the extra pile) and a new movie with Michael Fassbender.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 5 - there was 2 new and 1 was a double) and the Dallas Stars.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 6 - there was 0 new so got 1 from the extra pile) and Ghost Adventures.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched part of february 7 - there was 3 new and no double), the Dallas Stars and melatonin (will try the second dosage this time).
It's 3:30 in the afternoon but I would love to take a nap. It's just too late in the day.
A while ago I picked a date and that date is tomorrow, I will make a decision and all the options have been writing down, there is one option that is not there because it does not fit and I found a way to include it anyway tonight, I will take 2 of the 1mg melatonin from Webber Naturals tonight and if two is not at least better than just one (it would be so awesome if it actually worked because i have felt like a zombie for a few weeks now) I will go with that option instead tomorrow and if it works or at least works longer than I will take that decision tomorrow, I know myself, if I would of taken that decision without a way to at least give that other option a chance despite it not fitting in and even if all was going well down the line I would think of the ignored option and find a way to ruin all I would of done!
A decision (depending on what i choose i may have other things to figure out - i will also do all the planning and whatever else that has to do with my choice today), maybe start playing online today too (it will again depend on what i choose - the last time i played something was the day before the first hospital trip so start of september - theres a bunch of games i want to win and some are won) and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched the rest of february 7 - there was 2 new and no double ~ i may have others from yesterday today since it was before 23:00 i went there).
I will also have some peace today, when writing another post here I heard mom on the phone take an appointment with our real estate agent at 14:00, that should give me at least close to one hour
!
I could of started playing these games again but for the next few days I will be very busy getting ready for the next important day and won't have the time to play any of these games.
Before the first big day (had 10 days after it until today so 12 days ago) I started playing again, at first I decided to visit a website where in the puzzle section I found games I had forgotten plus found games I never knew existed but months ago we could not open it and it was still like that then that night I thought about the version of Flash Ludo I tried and liked last year and played it once. The next day I still had some time since what I had to do took less time then I thought it would so I gave Fun Beach (found that game on that website that do not work anymore - loved that game years ago then forgot about it - it then froze at the 3rd or 4th or 5th level - found it on 4 websites that day and 4th always froze) then the last ten days I gave one last try on different websites once a day with Craze Rush (found it again there too - that 1 now the 2nd level cannot be won anymore and it was the same all those days too - shame because loved that 1 too). Today it took a lot of time (even had to not check the 13 websites i call "extras" so ill have double to check tomorrow - go there once a day and 1 day i wont anymore but until then i do and when i have too much to do i just skip and check 2 days instead of 1 the next day) so I played Ashtons Family Resort (always knew it was only a short version but when i found it again on again that website that is broken i saw pictures of the longest version so looked for it but its so old that its many windows version ago).
That other Flash Ludo version is shorter so I will play it once or more per day until my next big day and if all goes well then I will play the games I want to win that day of the following day.
Right now I am thinking of what was my favorite game in my first internet years along with Flash Ludo, it is called Lightning, I do not have the time to go play now since I am tired, I want to finish a few things then eat something while watching television and then start the night routine.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched the first of february 8 - there was 3 new [1 from the previous day and it was a double] the 2 did not have doubles).
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched the rest of february 8 and all of 9 - there was 6 new [1 from the day before and thankfully it was a double because the other was taken out by the user] and 1 double with the others and maybe 1 other too [it was harder to check because i could not see the images when putting the mouse on the line]) and the Dallas Stars.
Plan a few things (realised 1 major mistake that had to do with the decision so i have to start over), continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 10, 11, 12 and part of 13 - there was 4 new [2 from the previous day no double] and no double for that day) and Ghost Adventures.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched 2 more of february 13 - there was 1 new and it was not a double) and the Dallas Stars.
Also I am not coming back here today (will just go write something i forgot yesterday before leaving) because of the issues with the first post, it sucks more since this is a part of my morning routine and this is done before breakfast too!
Wow that was weird not being able to do this yesterday morning!
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (finally finished february 13 yesterday - there was 6 new and 1 was a double) and the Dallas Stars.
Start a plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 14 - there was 2 new and no double) and MasterChef Junior.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 5 new and 1 [from the day before] was a double) and the Dallas Stars.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 4 new and 1 from the day before was a double) and MasterChef Junior.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 4 new and 1 was a double), the Dallas Stars and try the melatonin again (fourth dosage this time - the third was tried when this website was completely down and it almost worked all night).
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 3 new - 1 was from the day before and it was a double the others were doubles so got 1 from the extra pile) and a new movie.
Continue the plan and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there were none so got one from the extra pile).
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 1 new - not a double) and the Dallas Stars.
Just some work and rest...
Continue the plan...and a new movie.
Hi Nancy, what is your favourite type/style of movie? Joy
It's 3:30 in the afternoon but I would love to take a nap. It's just too late in the day.
Hi Angie, a 10 minute cat-nap at any time of day can be very beneficial! Joy
Just some work and rest...
Hi Angel, I reckon that humans need as much time resting as they do working! Joy
Continue the plan and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 15 & 16 & half of 17 - there was 3 new and no double) .
Joy,
Horror. For books too.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched the rest of february 17 - there was 6 new and no double) and the melatonin (will try the 5th dosage).
I was supposed to have my waxing appointment today and run errands but the weather is too awful (the man who drives the machine that gets snow off the streets has not even came on our street so dad would have to shovel the street with that tornado like wind) but I have pills until Saturday so Sunday maximum I have to go to the drugstore plus my credit card bill I have until the eleventh to pay it, I do not want to be half dead for the games tomorrow and the next day especially since that may be the last games until October so it will have to be in the afternoon I do that, the waxing the only negative is that I have to wait until talking face to face to someone normal.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (there was 1 new and it was not a double), MasterChef Junior and the Dallas Stars.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 18 - there was 6 new and no double but the 1 from the previous day was a double so got 1 from the extra pile for it) and the Dallas Stars.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (there was 5 new and 1 from the day before was a double - also for the first time i had to write down a title with the date to not watch the start because that part had a better quality in a new video but that 1 also has more and i was not sure so will know when watching it) and play Card Sharks twice (that game always is named like that on any websites ive played it BUT when you play it it says another name - will play on Free Web Arcade - ill go for a perfect game for i think the first time).
Should not of decided to try to get a perfect game with that small game because now I am starting to be angry that I cannot, I will go for a third try today and if I do not get it I will try again tomorrow.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 19, 20 and 21 - there was 1 video and it was a double so got 1 from the extra pile) and play General Quarters three times on Free Web Arcade (normally that game is called Battleships [it is everywhere else ive played it] but it may be the right name - havent played it in a long time).
Wow played it twice so far and won all, when I played it again a few times last year after not playing it for years I maybe won like once or twice if that! Also turns out the exact name of it is Battleships General Quarters. Oh and Card Sharks the real name is Card Frenzy but for some reason it is almost always called the other name (maybe because its based on a game show and that show was called Card Sharks - unless im mistaken).
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 22 - there was 1 new and not a double), waxing appointment and the melatonin (will try the 6th dosage tonight).
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 4 new and the 1 from the day before was a double so got 1 from the extra pile for that day), play Warship Strafe (last year when i started playing Battleships again i decided 1 day to see what other online games of that game existed and its 1 of the 3 i played - theres less boats and its easy to miss since you drop the bomb with an helicopter and the board moves too if i remember - will never play it again after today) and drool over myself while watching Michael Fassbender (Alien: Covenant plays twice but with the night i had i cannot watch the second presentation).
Edit: Just looked and now it is only one representation! Yesterday it said 21:00 and 23 and something (after :00 and before :30) but now it is at 23:00, I still will watch completely because I want to do that but that is frustrating especially since I am tired! Normally these errors do not happen
!
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 23 - there was 6 new and 1 double - 1 of the 7 channels was deleted by youtube and i had 1 aside in case so added that to the others), play Dynomite (thought of that game last year and realised it was discontinued but a website has a cheap version of it and i will play it for the last times) and watch the first epilogue of Alien: Covenant (the 1 with David).
A website called Freegame3 was the only one who had that cheap version when I looked for it last month and I put it in my favorites but now that website is either gone or down so I cannot play it that one last time like I wanted to.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 24 - there was 4 new and 1 from the previous day was a double), play three games (Conquerors of the Island [on Free Online Games] + Battleships General Quarters and Card Frenzy) and a new movie.
Found Conquerors of the Island when I was looking for other versions of Flash Ludo and only tried that one, it would be okay except that it often freezes (did that when i played on FOG) and if it does not then at least once you will take a long time to finally move your character, played it a while ago for a last time. Also played Cootie once not too long ago, it is an idiotic game but it is quick and kind of fun.
I also decided that I will try tonight the seventh dosage of the melatonin, if it can work I will be finally able to watch The Hateful Eight tomorrow, it is a long movie and the time it will play tomorrow that would be stupid with my insomnia (especially since i do not eat during new movies so would have to eat something later before the night routine) but if it does work I will be able to finally watch it plus it would be so awesome to sleep normally.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 25 - there was 5 new and no double), watch the last (the 1 with Walter) prologue of Alien: Covenant and for the games I will play whatever.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 26 - there was 2 new and i was not sure but it may all be doubles when i will get to that date), play Cootie for the last times and check Youtube to see if the last six episodes of MasterChef Junior of last year and all of the episodes of MasterChef are there then would finish by Friday's episode (would start by the 6 then the adults - May 30 is the new season of the adults).
Edit: Episode four is missing, I will check every day and if it does appear I will check if the others (put in my favorites) are still available then if all the others are there too I will start watching one per day. If by the new season of Hell's Kitchen it has not appeared then I will stop watching these two shows, anyway I have been fed up with both and that is because of the woman judge. I would feel bad because I love Gordon Ramsay but hey it is what it is. If it would not of taken a long time for the first episode to appear on Youtube last year I would of watched just the first two on there and the rest on television.
Oh and also if I want to at 21:00 I can drool on myself while looking at Michael Fassbender in Assassin's Creed
!
And I just decided that I will try the eighth dosage of that melatonin tonight.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched february 27 and 28 - there was 2 new and 1 was a double) and for the games I will just play on Shooter-Bubble (theres 3 games and i will not play Shooter Bubble - not today anyway - i may focus just on it 1 day - did that a few days ago when i said here that i would play whatever - i think i will only focus on the second game with if i remember correctly cats).
Also Alien: Covenant plays twice
!
Edit: The name of the game is Puzzle Bubble, the things are cute and they make cute voices but it is cheaply made so the images are not good plus it is hard to control the thing that shoots the bubbles, I will play it for the last times today.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 1 - there was 1 new and it was not a double), something important and play Jamaican Dominoes for the last times.
Edit: Turns out the important thing is important searches (realised that i need that done to start and that important thing is the first of many - this time it would be awesome to actually do it and not give up) and the game I decided to play for the last time will be Disc Golf instead, there are four ways to play it and I will play each once.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 2 - there was 8 new and the 1 from the day before was a double so got 1 from the extra pile), play a version of Minesweeper found a few years ago for the last times (unless i do not find that version again because that website is long gone which is a shame because it donated to charities for every play of every games) and try the ninth dosage of that melatonin.
Finally found it and just when I was about to give up, ironically I was thinking of checking Free Online Games and then perhaps other websites like it and the last link I clicked on had that game and it is from that website! The name is Flash Minesweeper.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 3 + 4 - there was 1 new and it was not a double) and play Ashtons Family Resort for the last times.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (there were no new yesterday so got 1 from the extra pile), one important thing and play Number Lines for the last times.
Turns out the important thing was to "clean" my important notes (mostly of the plan) and to finally figure it all out. The plan is not done and soon I will start what I need to do, then I will either try the last medications a second time or go back to the hospital (mom may of found us a doctor - if so then it will be easier to finally be cured).
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 5 - there was no video so got one from the extra pile), play The Shell Game for the last times and the last dosage of the melatonin (unless we can go to Matane tomorrow then i will try it later [if its like the 6th and 8th dosages which really made me feel awful it would be the last melatonin i ever take] im waiting mom to come back in the house to ask - dad is there but asking him something you may have to wait more than a year for the answer IF you do not get yourself chewed off).
So I still haven't asked but I decided that the last dosage will be the night I went to Matane.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 6, 7 and 8 - there were no new video so got 1 from the extra pile), go to Matane and try the last dosage of the melatonin.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (there were no new so got 1 from the extra pile), something important and play Food Memory for the last times.
I made an idiotic mistake when I did the important thing and I only saw that after it was done, it was not something hard and long but I will not restart it today I will do it again tomorrow instead!
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 9 - there was 2 new and 1 was a double) and do one of the three sewing kits I bought at a dollar store months ago (never sewed anything - if i do it right and like it then it will be another way to pass the time for myself).
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 10 - there was 5 new and 3 were doubles including the only 1 from the day before so for that day got 1 from the extra pile - also 1 of the channels was empty and that 1 was from there and it said deleted by the user and i hope its back to normal because its 1 of the 2 that posts a lot of videos of him), two (maybe 1) important things, play Brainiac for the last times and Westworld.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 11 - there was 3 new and no double - the channel is still there and still empty but the description is still there - it was an extra video yesterday so that did not gave me any trouble) and play the second way to play Bubble Breaker (its called booming game) for the last times.
Watching a new episode in the Endeavor series ...
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 12 1 out of 3 was deleted and was able to find it + The Right Perspective was still there all empty except the description again - there was 4 new and 1 was about him but he was not in it) and play Bubble Breaker for the last times.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 13 [2 out of 7 was deleted and 1 could not find BUT it may of been 1 of the other videos {did 2 searches for it since that 1 for a few seconds talked about it}] there was 3 new and no double - the channel is now gone i will continue with the 6 remaining for now), play Bubble Trouble for the last times and Ghost Adventures.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 14 [1 out of 6 a double and 2 were deleted but i found them] there was 1 new and it was not a double - before the visits checked [deleted the link the day before] for the deleted channel and it appeared like it was back but it had 1 old video there), play Bubble Spinner for the last times and Westworld.
Peace (started before i got up - i would of had a better night and i could of gotten up earlier to be sure to have the entire morning routine alone), continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 15 [2 out of 3 deleted and found both] there were no new so got 1 from the extra pile) and play Soap Bubble for the last times.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 16 [no trouble with the deleted videos since that date had none so watched an extra] there were no video so got 1 from the extra pile) and play Bubble Bobble for the last times.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 17 [1 video and it was not deleted] there was 1 video and it was not a double - deleted one of the channel but that 1 its been a long while since they posted a Tucky video like i think most of the other channels i found a few days ago but when they do its new videos not older videos) and play Bubbels for the last times.
Watching a new episode in the Endeavor series ...
Hi Susan, I do like Endeavor. They've tied in the character very well with the original Morse series. Joy
...and do one of the three sewing kits I bought at a dollar store months ago (never sewed anything - if i do it right and like it then it will be another way to pass the time for myself).
Hi Nancy, how are you enjoying the sewing? Joy
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 18 [no video so watched an extra] there were 2 new and no double) and play Magic Toy Factory for the last times.
Joy,
I liked it. Thankfully mom was there to help me because at some parts I was in trouble. The poor sock monkey looks like Frankenstein but still he is cute plus I made it.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 19 [1 out of 3 deleted but i found it] there were no video so got 1 from the extra pile - will write down every last videos of all the channels tonight while visiting those ive been visiting for months and tomorrow im deciding how many to visit every night and the rest if there are will be in case 1 disappears again), play Battleship Advanced Mission for the last times and melatonin (will run errands later and will get it then - will try the first dosage of the first ive tried but since it was almost expired then expired + never tried the last dosage ive decided to give it another go).
~Watching Endeavor on Belgium One. This is the predecessor to the Morse series and later Lewis series.
Continue the plan, two important things (maybe more), continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 20 [2 and none deleted] there was 4 new and no double - visited the channels im used to and also wrote down all of the others last video), play Bubble Shooter for the last times and Ghost Adventures.
Wow! A few minutes ago I played that game for a sixth time and I won it! That game screws the players so much I thought it was impossible to clear everything! I have twelve days where I have nothing important to do and I was thinking of trying to win every levels of a small game I have not played often (Santa Snowboard ~ only tried it because of the thumbnail and then i saw the makers of Stan Skates which i like did that too [that too never won it - probably came close years ago]) or go for another bubble game that I found less than a month ago but never played but now I think I will try the other versions instead but it would drive me insane though if that too I do not go all the way so I may not do it, I'll go check later how many versions there are.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 21 [1 out of 2 deleted which i found] there was 1 new and it was not a double ~ decided to visit 5 out of the 14 and the other 9 are for backup in case theres 1 or more that disappears and started that last night ~ The Liberty Hound & Very Fake News & The AntiCoInterPro Show & 50 Stars & Trump Fan Network), try to win Santa Snowboard and Westworld.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 22 [2 out of 6 deleted and 1 of these i could not find ~ also 1 turned out to be a double] there was 0 new so got 1 from the extra pile) and continue trying to win Santa Snowboard.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 23 [1 out 2 deleted and i found it + the other was a double] there was 2 new and no double) and try again to win Santa Snowboard.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched march 24 [1 and it was not deleted] there was 5 new and all of the day before had a better version so for that date got 1 from the extra pile), try again to win Santa Snowboard and watch again Alien: Covenant (if i had no more insomnia i could of watched twice - only had a very bad night so will watch at 21:00 - bad night i would of watched at 0:00).

It does not look good for finally seeing Batman Begins again after all these years! A few minutes ago lightning and thunder started and when there is lightning the signal of the satellite goes (its the only good thing for Bell is that during the past years they really worked on not having their signal go off and now its only lightning that can do that unless of course a real issue happens with the satellite on your house) and if this continues tonight then I will again miss it! It is like the universe does not want me to watch that movie again, I do not get it!
It looks like we may get another thunderstorm so I will not try to watch it in case that happens and the signal goes off
am I ever going to see it again
!
Play Stan Skates and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched april 7 [there was 5 - nothing deleted and no double] there was 5 new and im sure the last from the day before and 2 were the same as the first of the day before but was not sure so left all there).

Could not do this this morning because the forums were being updated; play Stan Skates, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched april 11 [1 out of 4 deleted but found] there was 6 new and 1 was a double + 1 from the day before became 1 too) and Westworld.
Play Stan Skates and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched april 12 [2 out of 4 were doubles] there were no new so got 1 from the extra pile).

I had a busy day today - Our BS (Bible Study) group met this morning; then I spent several hours at the local historical society - accessioning books, helping a friend with genealogy, helping with a title search. My daughter and her husband and my grandsons came by after swimming practice. It was a perfectly lovely day.
An important calculation and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched april 16 [none so watched an extra] there was 7 new and 1 was a double).
There's also The Inglorious Basterds playing at 21:00 and 1:00 so two chances of seeing Fassy

Turns out I also had a lot of figuring stuff out too, it's a good thing I did that because I realised that in the calculations I made an error and it was a big one which would of given me lots of trouble with what is coming up next!
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched april 18 to 23 [the first day had 1 and it was the last from the channel that disappeared and i found it - the others had none so all extras for these days] there was 4 new and 1 from the previous day became a double - 1 could be 1 but was not sure so left it there) and Westworld.
Change the plan and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched april 24 and 25 [1 double out of 6] there was no new so that day is an extra).
One important thing and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 2 new and no double).
Last night I wrote down all the last videos of all the channels (2 of the newest were gone and i had found 1 a few days before which is why i decided to start that again but now i do not care if theres another that regularly post videos of him ill stick to that until i watch him on tv - just went with my 4 favorites last night and got rid of the links - decided today to keep visiting 5 since its an ok number and later i will get back these links in my favorites on that spot and always just visit these every night starting tonight but i will finish with my second favorite now and keep starting with my favorite ~ The Liberty Hound + Very Fake News + Trump Fan Network + 50 Stars + The AntiCoIntelPro Show ~ the rest will remain there as backup in case 1 or some or most or all disappears).
One (or maybe 1 more) important thing and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 7 new and 1 double + 1 from the day before became 1).
The important thing is done and there was no need to do something else. This was a restart, the last restart was doing well until a certain point so hopefully this will work out fine.

Finish figuring things out and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched april 30 [0 so an extra] and may 1 [1 - deleted and hard to find] there was 5 new and 1 was a double).
So I thought I was done figuring things out but I realised when finishing my night routine that I had forgotten an option so today I will make sure all that figuring out is done and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 6 new and 1 was a double plus 1 from the day before became 1 too).

One decision, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 1 new and it was not a double) and Westworld.
I am happy with my decision, throughout the day I will tweak the plan and calculate a few things (did some of it a little after the decision) and then I am giving myself four days then I will continue the restart.
Okay so I am way too tired today, at the start of the day it was not that bad plus with my decision I was happy about it so that little excitement helped me but the past few hours I am more and more tired so I will not watch Westworld since it is at 22:00 (its not the time that is killing me its that theres more than 2 hours to go and that is the worst for me) and also I will try the second dosage of the melatonin before bed.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 1 new and it was not a double).
Went to a funeral today. My friend Bettie Weaver was 98 years old; a retired educator (always a teacher); a historian. She touched so many lives during her life. Her service as beautiful.

The Friends had a reception prior to the event and he signed books until it was time for the event to begin. There were young children to grandparents there. He spoke about his children's books as well as his adult books. During the Q&A, a lot of children asked him questions. What fun.

Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 3 new and no double) and start playing on Solitaire Bliss (never played there before - they have 22 games and will play until they are won).
Okay so when I was cleaning this room I suddenly realised that I had made a mistake and after cleaning my bedroom I checked my plan and sure enough I did! So I have to re-figure everything and start again!
I will not start playing on Solitaire Bliss today, I probably would have the time but my head will be full and busy so I won't play anything.

Figuring things out, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon and play for the last times on Pyramid Solitaire (sadly when i looked for it again i saw that only the main game can be played [theres a new version available {like most of his websites now - have not played any others except the 2 alien games - his older versions had more charm and most are gone} but will only play the 1 that can be played in the old] its a shame especially for the user made ones i spent many hours there).
The first step of the new restart, play Darts (finally this weekend after years of searching the version i played many times in the past i found it on Y8) and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched may 23 [3] there was 6 new and the 2 from the day before became doubles so got 1 from the extra pile and 1 was a double - also changed after the visits a few things like now The Liberty Hound is second Very Fake News is first then third Trump Fan Network and The AntiCoIntelPro Show last and LNT i went there for the last since now its only about a man mostly ~ just saw that yesterday i forgot to mention that i finished may 22 [3] and there was 2 new and they were not doubles then).

Hi Nancy, there's an Indian game called Carrom. Do you know about it and have you ever played it online? Joy
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (watched almost all of may 31 [5 - 1 was a double] there was 1 new and it was a double so got an extra) and play Big Eye on Fruit Mahjong for the first and last times.
Joy,
Never heard of that game before? Is it a card game?
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (finished may 31 [1] and started june 1 [3] there was 1 new and it was a double so got an extra), waxing appointment, play Scorpion on the last version of Pyramid Solitaire for the first and last times and the fifth dosage of the melatonin.
Joy, Never heard of that game before? Is it a card game?
No, Carrom is not a card game. It's a bit like snooker with the following differences:
* the 'table' is a wooden board and is only 3 feet by 3 feet
* you sit round the board on small stools
* the balls are not round but flat as in 'Drafts'
* you don't move them with a cue but flick them with your thumb and one finger
* there are 4 holes - one in each corner
I believe it was invented in India centuries ago. I play it in the UK, but it's still a rather rare game here. You can now find it on the internet as a digital game.
Joy
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (continued june 1 yesterday [1] there was no new so got an extra) and play Klondike on the first version of Pyramid Solitaire for the first and last times.

There is also Shame but the night I just had (do not even know if i slept and if so when i was sleeping) and at the time it plays I won't be able to watch it all, I may be able to just watch the parts where he is naked.
Yeah well I cannot even watch the start where he is naked
I am that tired, it sucks since it plays so rarely plus it is Michael Fassbender naked!
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (watched most of june 2 [3] there was no new so got an extra) and play Yukon on the first version of Pyramid Solitaire for the first and last times.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday finished june 2 [1 - it was a double] all of 3 [0 so an extra] all of 4 [1 but it was a double so got and watched an extra] and most of 5 [3] there was 1 new) and play Chinese Fan on Fruit Mahjong for the first and last times. There are two movies with Michael Fassbender that I know and are not censored but I do not know if I will get to one or both of them (playing at the same time - 1 [The Counselor] ive seen once and 300 many times).
No wonder you can't sleep - over dosing on Tucker Carlson.
In that case an overdose would be a great thing
, I am way too late but where I am at there are not a lot for many days so despite not watching a lot (at least more than the previous days) I can gain some ground.
I would never think I would ever watch a show on Fox News but when I am all caught up I will watch him on television; well worth it since he is the only real journalist with balls plus he is cute
!
I always liked Tucker Carlson too, even when he wore a bow tie. That goes back a long way.
I always liked him too but never really watched him until last year in August when I started to only visit The Liberty Hound on Youtube for my news and almost all of their videos are of him and I really fast developed a crush but before I realised that my impression that he was nice and a real journalist was right. I started watching him by day (with all the channels i visit i basically get almost everything) soon after, it took a while first but by February I was done getting all the days together so started watching more and more.
I of course do not agree with all his views and there are a few of his interviews (the worst was [from i think september] when he interviewed a satanist where he was completely unprofessional) I do not like or at least some parts of but nobody is perfect and if you dislike or hate anyone you do not fully agree with you for sure will not have anyone in your life and certainly not idolise anyone!

Yes, you are right. The website is down. Well, in my country it is 3:22 AM. I couldn't sleep tonight as I'm insomniac. So, I wanted to brows the Bellaonline website. But couldn't see the pages. Today I'm looking forward to see the website live again.
Farjana,
I am in an insomnia too. In September if it is not over it will be two years (except 1 night last year in august where i slept normally and 1 dosage of the melatonins that ive tried worked 7 times). Luckily it is different degrees of insomnia so this must be why I am still somewhat functional. The night I just had was one of the worst and the few nights before were close to normal nights (had a few of those - its awful because that gives me hope it will end soon then bang i get a night that sucks).
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday started june 27 [1] there was 5 new and 1 was a double) and play Canfield on the oldest version of Pyramid Solitaire for the first and last times.

The day finishing so I can go to bed (long story that i will tell tomorrow morning somewhere else here). I will try to watch at least one Tucky video (yesterday started june 29 [2] there was 3 new).

Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday finished june 29 [3] there was 1 new) and plan a new restart.
Continue the plan, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched most of june 30 [2 - 1 was a double] there was no new and put something else there because im changing it up with the last extras and did not want to me mixed up tonight while checking everything - also went to LNT last [never added it back in my favorites anyway] and still check the backup of Trump Fan Network since he posted a little despite not having his original channel deleted like he thought) and Alien: Covenant.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (did not watch anything yesterday but rearranged most of the extras - there was no new [he was on vacation]) and play Sudoku for the first and last times on Solitr (when i found then played on that website last year they did not have that game - they have 4 levels and will play all probably - im so not good at that game!!!!).
Waxing appointment, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday finished june 30 [1] all of july 1 [1] 2 [0 so an extra] almost all of 3 [3] he was again on vacation so no new so got an extra), play the Mahjong Solitaire on Mah-Jongg for the first and last times and the seventh dosage of the melatonin.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday finished july 3 [1] he was still on vacation so got another extra), play the only game that is not a spider solitaire on Spider Solitaire Co Uk for the first and last times and Alien: Covenant.
Start over again, play Windows Spider (hard) on Spider Solitaire Co Uk (with all the windows ive had this is the only 1 i keep not winning - i figured maybe somewhere else i could finally get it) and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched july 4 [4] there was 1 new - he was still on vacation so it probably was something they either did not have time to air or he prepared before leaving).
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (he was still on vacation so no new but the extra i changed the place of the last 11 and then put 1 before those - did not check the backup channel of Trump Fan Network and checked that 1 and the other 3 i love) and continue trying to finally win that part of the Windows game I never won on the same place as yesterday.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched all of july 5 [2 - 1 was deleted but it was also a double] and almost all of july 6 [2] there was no new so got an extra - did the same thing with those) and continue the game at the same place.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday finished july 6 [1] and almost all of july 7 [1] there was no new - again got the last 11 extras down 1 place and above these added another extra), continue the game and Alien: Covenant.
I collect miniature pianos - small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and made from all types of materials, e.g., glass, wood, metal, silver, crystal, etc.
On moving to my current property I had them in several boxes for ages. Today I am moving the last of them to just one place. That will also ensure I don't buy any duplicates!
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday finished july 7 [1 - it was deleted but found right away] all of 8 [0 so an extra] and 9 [0 so an extra] there was 2 new), check if something (a house that would be perfect) is still available (havent in a while) and continue with the game.
Visiting with 2 of my cousins - been a few years ...
I was looking forward to my morning walk in Kew Gardens and also to seeing the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition. I've done that now, very enjoyable, except for the train ride home - so hot and stuffy. (Some lines have new trains - and air conditioning in hot weather - but most don't.)
Continue what I started Friday, play the game and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched july 10 [0 so an extra] there was 2 new).
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (there were 2 new yesterday) and play Scorpion easy for the first times (want to play until i win like the other game that is not a spider game on that website - will probably try the other 2 ways of playing later) on Spider Solitaire Co Uk.
Continue taking decisions (last time i finished what i had started not too long before so now its the next steps that are starting), play the hard Windows spider on Spider Solitaire Co Uk again and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched july 11 [0 so an extra] and 12 [0 so an extra] there was 1 new - the day before i saw that most of The AntiCoIntelPro Show videos were gone and deleted by him - it was even worst yesterday - i have many videos of that place waiting so that will suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (there was 2 new - so The AntiCoIntelPro Show only had his own videos left and no videos to explain what he did to his channel so that will not be fun the upcoming weeks!!!! The Liberty Hound has a video saying he was demonitazed by Youtube but that he will try to continue - soon we wont be able to watch much of Tucky on the internet im afraid), play Scorpion medium on Spider Solitaire Co Uk and Alien: Covenant.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched july 13 [0 so an extra] and 14 [0 so an extra] there was 1 new) and play Scorpion hard on the same website.
Continue the restart, play the Windows Spider Hard on Spider Solitaire Co Uk again and continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched july 15 [0 so an extra] there was no new so got an extra but the last 5 i bumped 1 place and put it above those).
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday there was 1 new) and play for the last times Spider Easy on Solitr.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched all of july 16 [1] 17 [1] and half of 18 [2 but 1 was deleted and could not be found] there was 1 new) and Klondike Turn 1 on Solitr for the last times.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday finished july 18 [2 deleted but easily found] there was no new so got an extra) and play Klondike Turn 3 for the last times on Solitr.

Hi Susan, recently had a great holiday in the Netherlands. How long have you lived there? Joy
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched almost all of july 19 [2 all deleted but found] i had to rearrange how i find the videos because The Liberty Hound had no videos and the others too - the ones on Fox News were recommended to me when i went on Youtube for the last time and i remembered clicking on his from the day before so the last extras went back to their previous spot and the 1 above went back with the others waiting - checked the channels on the list and 1 has only 2 left and 1 1 - 1 who did not post Tucky in a long time had 2 and 1 got to that date - 1 has a lot and 1 a few of him but the few has a better quality of images) and play again Klondike Turn 3 on Solitr because unlike the others I could not win it again like last year when I played there.
Errands, continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday finished july 19 [1] and all of 20 [1] again did the visits differently - 2 on Fox News and 1 on The Liberty Hound everywhere else i looked just 1 more but it was a double) and play again Windows Spider Hard on Spider Solitaire Co Uk.
Continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday watched almost all of july 21 [2 - 1 was a double and the other deleted and VERY hard to find] did the visits differently again and no video so got an extra and put the last 5 down 1 spot and added it there above) and play for the last times Mahjong on Solitr.
I attended a concert at the state park last night - Appalachian Express and Seldom Scene. We thoroughly enjoyed it. You know fall is coming though; it was a bit cool last night, sweatshirt weather. Today i attended a friend's birthday party. it was held at a historic location, Swift Creek Mill. It is now a playhouse and dinner theatre.
Call the dentist (not that i love going there but now i have 2 new problems - im 100% sure it has to do with me grinding my teeth), continue the Tucker Carlson marathon (yesterday finished july 21 [1 deleted but found] did the visits differently again and there were no video so got an extra while again taking the last 5 down 1 spot but 1 of these changed place too ~ if my appointment is tomorrow i wont watch a video today but start watching him on tv tonight) and continue with the Mahjong since could not win it a second time.

Hi Angie, events held out-of-doors are a great experience. As you say, as long as you go well prepared for the weather and temperature, it's good fun. Joy
Call the dentist (not that i love going there but now i have 2 new problems - im 100% sure it has to do with me grinding my teeth)...
Hi Nancy, there are several ways to help with tooth-grinding, which could in turn help the 2 new problems. Hope it all gets sorted soon! Joy
