There is some truth in that.

This week is going to be busy. I volunteered to work at the primary election day tomorrow. I hope I make it through the whole day. Then I get my hair done Wednesday. Also my husband wants me to help take pictures when he interviews the new local axe house. I might get to try it out. It should be fun. Then the last two days of the week I can do my normal stuff.

Oh, and today I have to go to the store, plus work on the weekend police and sheriff reports for the paper.

Rav4 is still being fixed. I think I already said that we had to have it taken to the car dealership. They determined that a new fuse is needed in the fuse box that is located in the engine area. They were even able to get the car to start and keep running, BUT the lights wouldn't turn off when the car was turned off. So there is still something wrong. That's the reason for another fuse. So the car might be fixed by Tuesday.

UPDATE: We got the car back, BUT the heater and fan didn't work. So we had to take it back again to have that fixed. We might, we hope, get it back in working order tomorrow.

This is for my daughter

Saga of the Rav4 -

So we got the Rav 4 towed to the Toyota dealership that was closest to us. Now we wait and see if they can fix it or if is dead. Dead because of my idiocy apparently. I was suppose to know how to put the jumper cables on the car. Oh, well, I will take the blame. I don't mind. But hubby is being very nice and is also not blaming me. It is what it is. I hate that saying, but it is true in this case. More to come when we find out the determination on the car. Exciting isn't it?

taking husband to work

talking to car fixing place to see if they would check out his car

doctor's appt - check up on should replacement that is already a year old

Calling tow truck to pick up an take husband's car to fix it place

Following tow truck.

Setting up car fix it place to see if they can fix it

picking up takeout for lunch for husband

eating at his office with him

Is it always about the husband? Maybe

This is so cool.

I haven't weighed myself lately. I probably will today. This weather is just weird and horrible. I am used to snow, but dislike snow, ice, melting, cold below zero weather.

Spring can't come too soon. Then, walking. I need to finish grocery shopping. I only did a little yesterday. But Monday looks better; and the rest of the week. Well, I have to go get ready for a doctor appt. Hope they they open today, unless they call to cancel. But I have to take a package to the post office today also.

I am pretty excited. Weight was 201.2 today. I hope it isn't up tomorrow. But it is my birthday tomorrow and my husband bought me a sweet treat to celebrate.

Losing weight, again

Well, I am trying to lose weight again. My previous doctor had me on some stupid medicine that did help me get down to 190, but as soon as I went off it, I ballooned back up to 200 and then finally to 205. But today I was 203.2. I am trying to pay attention to the food I eat and stuff. I want to get rid of Type II diabetes. Oh, why and how did I lose the 10 pounds before? Well, my doctor at the time decided that I needed to be Ozempic, so I took it for about 2 months. But I was getting to the point where I didn't want to eat at all. Which makes it hard for me to cook supper for hubby. I was starting to read about lawsuits and side effects of Ozempic, so I decided to change physicians and try to lose weight gradually my way. So if it helps anyone, I will post how I am doing on my "diet" and how I am doing the diet. Thanks for listening.

I got a notification on my computer yesterday that I had a hair appt. I jumped up and ran to the car, but thought I should call to say I would be late. She answered and said she doesn't work on Mondays. I was embarrassed, so I apologized and hung up and went back in the trailer. I don't know why that notification popped up on my computer. Maybe it was a note to myself to call and make an appt. If it was, I should be more descriptive in my notes to self.

I have been working hard to organize my sewing/computer/crocheting/knitting/writing/any other thing I want to try my hand at. I think it isn't to bad. Just don't ask to see the closet.

[grandmadeb]

They are both easy, but crochet is less demanding of my attention.

out of curiosity..

not giving a "they are both equal in difficulty" option because reasons

reblog for a bigger sample size (if you want)

Retirement

Retirement - 2 years now....yet I seem busier than I used to be. Sewing, crocheting, crafting... these are the things that I enjoy. Reading or listening to books and watching shows on Prime TV are other activities I do each day. Now I have to incorporate exercise and watching my food intake. So I have signed up with GOLO and I bought their supplement. It should be working if I remember to take them. So today, I need to go to the grocery store to pick up one needed item. Then do some work for the local paper for a couple of hours rewriting police reports so they can be put into the next edition. Then get back to work organizing my sewing room/work area.

Have a great day tumblrs!!

January 2, 2024 - this year I am going to try to post on tumblr. Not sure anyone will follow or be interested, but at least I can look back and see how I am progressing. Husband, Dave, and I are going to lose weight. With that, we will be able to go hiking which is something that we love to do, but we can't now mostly because I am getting to out of shape and old to do it. But it is a goal to have, right? I am at 203 lb right now. I hope to get to 140 if at all possible. I am going to follow GOLO if at all possible also. Well, that is enough for right this minute. See you tomorrow, future Deb.

I laughed too much and couldn't stop coughing. And then watched again.

Is tumblr a pro- Palestinian app? I might have to get more vocal of my support of Israel.
