Paycheck finally hit the account at 4:28pm. JFC.
I work tomorrow at my part time job and was supposed to work Sunday but H is taking the shift. I have my grandma's birthday. I wanted to pay for a photographer for the day to get family pics, she's turning 90, but my family shot it down. š

DD had an allergic reaction to peanut butter yesterday. Sheās had it before but the doctor said that the reactions can get worse with subsequent exposures.
She was fine. Never had any breathing problems, just broke out in hives all over her poor little face. We were at my parents house and thereās a pediatric urgent care 3 minutes away so I ran her down there. By the time we pulled into the parking lot, she was already clearing up but my god. I was wiped out by the end of the day. I feel like I made 400 decisions in the 20 minutes she was having the reaction.
We have an order for allergy testing now though, so I need to schedule that. š
I was on YouTube searching some work related videos this morning and randomly saw the group BTS came out with their 3rd English song today. I keep re-watching it. It's like I'm 11? 15? 22? again. I secretly love this boy band and hope I can take my DD to one of their concerts someday.
Itās technically Saturday, but I havenāt gone to sleep yet, so itās Friday. DH is OOT. DS was sleeping in our bed. A little after midnight a severe thunderstorm came through town and we rushed to the basement. Power was out for 2 hours. Sounds like weāre lucky as nearly 200,000 people lost power. I just walked around the house and looked outside and it looks like we lost both of our trees in the backyard š³. Itās nearly 3 am now. I donāt know how Iām going to sleep.
We have 25 lbs of peaches (hopefully) ripening on the island counter. They take up a lot of space, but I am sure it will be worth the minor inconvenience now when we are feasting on peach empanadas.
DH was expecting them to be ripe when he picked them up, but I am kind of glad that we'll have some extra time to figure out what we're going to do with all of them.
I really need to decide on paint colors for the exterior of the house, and I am having a hard time making decisions. I can't decide if we should stick with the current grayish color that kind of looks white unless you see it next to white, if we should paint everything that color (or whatever color we settle on) or if we should use another color/shade of gray for the porch or something, and if we do that, which part should we accent? And what color do we paint the new stucco board part of the courtyard side of the porch? Too many ideas!
It would be easier to choose colors if the courtyard pavers were installed, or if we at least had samples here to look at with the paint chips, but there are no samples, and the painter is supposed to be ready before the paver guys.
Our new neighbors behind us keep burning yard waste, and it's giving me a headache...again. Ugh.
We picked up our 25 lbs of peaches yesterday too. This is our 2nd year getting them, but the pick up location this year was different, and it was at a bowling alley off a main road, and it tied up traffic for hours insanely. It took us 45 min. to get from somewhere that usually takes us 5 min. max, and others were posting that they had been sitting for over an hour. It was awful. And I'm almost embarrassed to admit that my 2 kids and I ate almost all 25 lbs of peaches just regularly last year. We'd each eat 1 a day, so by the time it was like they needed to be eating or frozen or something or they would go bad, we only had a handful left that we gave away!

Donāt feel bad. Iām in my late 40ās and their song Dynamite became my vacation jam this week š¤£

It would be a lot easier for us to eat them all if we had a kid or two around. I probably ate that much on my own when I was a kid. My sister and I were just talking about eating peaches and peach empanadas all day, any time we wanted, and how it seemed like there was a never ending supply of both in the years the tree in the backyard was productive. I just don't eat as much as I used to, (no one I know eats that much, I was a teeny tiny bottomless pit-lol) even if it is one of my favorite fruits.
I have been working out and eating better for 20 weeks now. I do feel better but I donāt seem to lose weight very easily. Itās very hard to stay motivated since I need to lose 50 lbs. But this morning I sent a text to a friend to wish her happy birthday and she replied, thanks, itās going to be a good year-Iām down 36 lbs. I said Great! Tell me how so I can do it! Sheās been walking a mile a day and cut beer consumption in 1/2. Sigh. I wanted to cry.
Losing weight can be a bit of a mind f*uck! Are you using methods other than the scale to see progress? The scale sucks and it will fluctuate daily, but as long as the overall trend is going down, you're on the right path. If not, it's time evaluate and re-adjust calories.
Hang in there and don't give up - the only way not to succeed is to quit! Also, you don't have to do it the way your friend did it, and even if you did, it might not work. Our bodies are all very different! I definitely have alcohol while losing weight - I'm happy to chat if you need to vent/have questions/etc.
jennybee1018, my pants and such definitely fit better but it is a mind f*ck because it seems like others just change the slightest thing and lose weight. H is doing the same workouts with me (and doesnāt really put 100% in) and hasnāt really changed his diet and heās lost 28lbs. I thought it would be easier to lose when you have a lot to lose vs just trying to lose 10lbs.
I have my cat's (plural) ashes sitting in decorative containers on a bookshelf in our bedroom.Ā I like having them around, but I don't think it makes me weird.Ā Or we can be weird together.
Same. Ā I have both decorative wooden boxes on my nightstand. Ā Since it's all I have left of their physical presence, I like to keep their remains near.Ā
I have ashes of both my dogs in my home and my childhood dog at my parents house. I can't let them go.

Men always lose weight faster - itās so unfair!!! They donāt have the extra hormones to deal with like women. So donāt compare your loss to his. It typically easier to lose if you have more to lose. Have you done your TDEE & figured out your calorie deficit? Do you weigh your food?
Trust me, Iām petite so itās a struggle but it can be done. If you havenāt already, definitely start taking measurements & progress photos. Typically those changes help me stay encouraged to keep going!

Yeah heās in there with my cat ā¤ļø who passed in 2018. Theyāre in the same exact type of box. Iāll have 10 in there before itās all over lol.
Our cats, Sam and Sophia, who David doesn't remember, are on top of the bookshelf. It's in front of the stair case, so he sees them every time he goes up or down. The other day, he asked if our current cats, Lambo and Dylan, were going to be up there some day as well. Which made us realize we should probably do...something?... with them.

My girls' ashes are in the living room above the fireplace. Their urns are beautiful, and they're kind of tucked in behind some pictures and flowers so it really doesn't feel morbid. Every now and then I think about letting them go, but they were always inside cats. I can't handle thinking about them being outside. I felt awful when they were in the closet for a while after we moved because they loved being close to us. Before we moved they stayed on my work desk which was a favorite hangout place for them when they were alive. ...I don't know. Maybe I need therapy to process all the emotions I have about it, but I don't think it's weird to hold onto them. And I don't care what anyone thinks about it anyway. They were my girls. They will always be my girls. And now I'm crying š¢ Losing pets is so hard šŖ

Oh yeah, I didnāt mean get rid of them! I meant a more fitting tribute than our ācollectionā, which is the word my son used š.
