Good morning. My heart is heavy this morning because of the sad news but it IS the start of a new week and we need to carry on.

Today is a sort of holiday since some folks get it as a stat but the rest of the world is still having a normal Monday. I plan to pick up some produce later today - Monday is such a bad day to shop but I need green things. I just might carry on into Brockville and see if I can get some pansies to plant in my side flowerbox. I love their cheery faces and will "rehome" them in mid-May when it's warm enough for begonias in the shaded box.

We are expecting 43ºF and rain for the next few days so the dogs and I will be indoors most of the time. Jazz hasn't dug another escape route - yet! I plan lots of time in the quilting studio and kitchen - I need to start baking for the Syrup Festival sale on the 21st.

On the other hand, this plan could all go down the tube if Keith gets me my new car this week. If I have to wait, I'll rent a car and return the whale to Athens. I have my fingers crossed that my new baby shows up this week.

Have a gentle day.

Good morning. I'm sitting here stunned and I didn't even know Julie. So I can't imagine how Cyndi is feeling.

I am working out today then have a (hopefully quick) doctor's appointment. I plan to run several pre-trip errands since I work the next two days. I need to also do some more apartment hunting research so that I can be sure my son looks at all the options before we get there this weekend to help him. Niggles

Hugs, all.

Morning Ruth & Karen

Quiet day here today. I'm off work for today & tomorrow with the kids then Wednesday it's back to a normal routine of work & school. Going to catch up on housework and get a meal plan going for the week. The scale was kind this morning after being off-plan yesterday.

Good Morning

My heart is heavy yet I know the most important thing I can do today as I support Cyndi is to follow my food plan. We woke up late and I've got to be to work very soon (15 min)

Hugs to you all.

I was up all night crying - mixing reality and dreams and I can't imagine what Cyndi is going through. My heart too is heavy and I will also have an OP day.

Hugs to all

I didn't sleep much at all last night. Dreaming and waking up on the verge of tears most of the night. I am proud of those sticking to plan, however I volunteer to be the off-plan one. For the entire week. Stress/heavy heart + leftovers (hello overabundance of cheesy potatoes) are combining to make for good times. At least I have the treadmill and am using it. Some...

Bought some Dr Pepper 10 at the store this morning. Have wanted to try it and thought hey, 10 calories? No big deal. JUST occurred to me that it might have sugar in it, and it does. 2g isn't a huge deal, but I need to make sure I drink it all up before next Monday...

Gonna hit Ph1 hard next week.

So yeah, I'm kind of today. Glad I was off work. Better go get some time in on the treadmill before I decide not to.

I'm so ready to be starting Phase 2 today.

I'm new to this forum, so I don't know any of you yet, but I'm very sorry to hear something sad has happened to someone.

Well today was my 24th wedding anniversary but I am just so sad with all the news today. I had to break news to staff about one of supervisors mom dying. The funeral is 3 hours away but several of us are going on Thursday. I was so sad to hear about Julie, I thought she was doing better.
