    This was the only way I could figure out how to show off kittens.
  • Glad to see the new posts from everyone.
    Lisa, the kittens are adorable! Thanks for sharing the pics.
  • Lisa, those kittens are adorable! Thank-you for sharing the photos
  • Oh my gosh, Lisa! The kittens are SO precious!!!
  • Severe cuteness overload, I agree!!!
    I'LL take more pics of the babies today. Beyond adorable.

    The picture of the single kitten, her name is Brave.
    She never cries when I pick her up.

    My eating hasn't been great lately. I need to get back on the wagon.
    Lisa I am glad your health is improving. I wonder if an unusual number of people these days are having increased challenge with food. BUT you lost 8 more lbs. 50 in all. So that's awesome !! I bet those kittens are so cute and sweet.


    Holly, Sorry to hear that the sun beats in on the front of your house all day. Ouch. I guess the next 2 days will be hotter and humid. I only have ac in the bedroom. So grateful to have it. Ouch re the woman at work who has the shingles. That is so horrible. Glad your garden is doing well. This year yes, last of watering. Last year was a perfect balance of rain and sun. This year, not so much. But as you said, you prefer it to winter. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want one month of snowy weather. Winters that are 2 months long. Real spring. In March! My wishes are foe to the ski industry

    Panda I am glad you do have ac in your home. I dont use it a lot because of the cost. But I DO use it at night when I need to. Under extreme heat and humidity I will use it whenever needed. But I LOVE open windows.
    I totally understand when you say you try to be a good friend and want others to do same. We all deserve friends who treat us with respect and consideration. Some people seem to not consider doing that, a priority.

    IBelieveInMe2 how awesome that you were in Ireland. Glad your daughter's surgery is in the past now. And she is recovering. Sending lots of good energy that the result will be successful. Re: her feeling depressed, there is so much of that going around these days. Some normally balanced optimistic people are feeling the depths of emotional pain. And they are feeling like they have no energy some days. I hope things turn around for her very soon. Thank you for the Willpower dust. I need all of that I can get. Sorry that you do not like the size you see when you look in the mirror. I always find that unnerving. I am sending all the you need

    Lisa I just got to page 3. Cuteness overload indeed <3 <3 <3 Balls of beautiful fluff love.

    Still I am struggling with these voracious cravings for food. While I try to keep the food sane, it is not easy at all. Every day I am eating chocolate. I think I am having A LOT of emotional stuff come up. And am trying to not self medicate with food.

    Typing using my laptop is a bit challenging for me. The L key is not working well at all. Took twice as long to type this. Its been a month and so far L key not resolving. This computer has not been easy. I had to keep renewing the warranty each year. Because there is so much that goes wrong with it. But this April I chose to not renew. So I am left to pay for any future repairs. Tonight I figured out how to disable windows 10 updates. yay for that.

    I hope everyone has a great Monday!! Hard to believe that its mid July. <3 Pat
  • Hi flower
    Yes the apartments have central air.
    i usually have it programmed to kick on at 72 but then i get cold
  • Hi panda, hi flower,

    Hi ladies. I hope Monday evening finds you well.

    I have no idea what to have for supper. I kinda want tuna salad sandwiches but I would have to go get tuna and it's still 100 degrees out.

    I've got macaroni and cheese. I've got mashed potatoes. Carb city.
    Nothing else I have sounds good though.
    I'LL figure something out.

    Have a great night, ladies!!!
  • Just wanted to say hi.

    I've had so much water today, my stomach feels full. bleh
  • I'm watching Zero Dark Thirty again. Exciting movie.

    It's hot again.

    Think it's nap time.

    I'm full again.

    Post to you all again soon.
  • I kept waiting to get hungry for supper this evening. I didn't feel like eating at all until 9 pm. I wasn't that hungry so I had some .5 canned peaches and a protein shake.

    My appetite just isn't what it normally is.
  • Hi ladies,

    I've got light cramps and spotting this morning. Pray I do not get a period, haven't had one in months so if I do it'll be baaaaaaad. I flood so bad I'll have to sit on a pillow.

    Watching golf on tv, this morning.
  • Where is everyone?

    My cramps and spotting stopped for now.

    I've been feeling weak lately. I see Trudy on the morning. I'm going to ask for a B12 shot.

    The kittens are getting stronger and boy, are they aware. They see everything. They know my voice and I pick them up and give them kissies.

    Elviras happier. Her flea collar is really working well. It's an 8 month flea collar.

    I know it's summer but I'm the only one posting.
  • Lisa - hope your period stays away! Has it cooled down at all for you?

    Sorry I've not posted much, I keep reading, mentally responding, and forgetting to actually respond

    My PT sessions finish this week - I don't know whether to book another block, because jury duty starts in 2 weeks. I think we've done well for 6 weeks - I thought I had no upper body strength, but apparently I am stronger than I thought!
