I think I'm okay. That's what I tell myself, anyway.

Still working a ton of hours. Doing cemetery work on all my off weekends/days. Garden looks good and the tomatoes just started coming in, corn will be soon. Quilting in the summer takes a back seat to cemetery work, but I still do it a bit and am a pattern tester for someone now. Ripley still farts, drools and snores. Turkey has been perpetually broody this summer and my already thin patience for her is about run out. She's spent quite a few nights in the goat house after violating my skin integrity with her nasty bites. I ran my first 5k today after work (on an elliptical so don't get too excited) and I didn't want to die at all. I can do handstands and pull ups, now. I am at 42 lbs lost.

How is everyone here? Anything major happening?

Congrats on the weight loss! It's not easy, I know.

@CapricornFarm and @getaclue, are you going to be impacted by that tropical storm/hurricane coming in?

Well, it's a bit early to say for sure. But as forecast right now, it is possible.

Wow, that's impressive. 42 pounds is a lot. Congratulations!

It's a group hallucination, Diva. You're fine.

Ron, that chicken jambalaya bake sounds great! I will have to try it. Thanks for sharing

Speaking as only a true Southern girl can.. I say: get your grub on and you will never be the same - love some good jambalaya. Enjoy a taste but be prepared to feast.

I still have those moments, too, and I quit 02.13.2002. I have no actual desire to smoke, just a hankering to do something with my hands, or mouth. I chew a lot of gum, still. Funny how I still remember that date like it was yesterday but I have to think about when I got married, or divorced, or even BF's birthday.

Same internet filters at my work. Had to get an "exception" to be able to view a website on treatments for various types of cancer (oh the horror - breast cancer, anal cancer, testicular cancer...).

I also made the (completely innocent, really) mistake of googling "how to clean your hood" and was shocked at what came up that wasn't blocked. What I was trying to do was put together a power point presentation for my new technicians on how to clean an IV room's laminar flow hood and I needed pictures, but not those pictures.

As a fellow nurse, I can relate completely.
