Happy Day Warriors!
Wishing each of you a totally spectacular Sunday in every.single.way possible!
Stay WARRIOR STRONG!
WOW all the Warriors posted in here yesterday, except for me!
I had time to post my "PPWs" in my journal and Imma sorry I didn't come in here but I was über busy working on school stuff (still got more to do, it's an endless process all school-year long!) and then it was time to do the yard work before it got to stinkin' HOT out, ya know the usual weeding and mowing... Good Times ~ NOT!
Finished another knitted baby afghan last Monday and had time yesterday to photograph it! The yarn is Red Heart brand color "Light Blue".
Pattern: "6x10 Cable" Knitted Afghan (42x42 inches)
So that's the 7th afghan I've completed since I started replenishing my collection of "afghan gifts" this summer!
I started another knitted baby afghan the same day I finished the one above, in “Aran” ~ it’s a creamy white color. This one will be in a combo of 4x10 and 6x10 cable stitches.
I truly
the creative part of designing the stitching pattern! That's a huge part of why I love to knit or do any of the many different crafty things I do!
On another note:
Staying 100% OP has NOT been difficult at all... lately I've been eating the same things day-in and day-out.
Not complaining one iota since it means I don't have to think about food or what Imma gonna eat PERIOD! Which is one of my many food related issues!
Food really is a none-issue since it doesn't hold the same "entertainment" value it used to have when I was "Fat Jo". I really only eat to nourish my body...
Tomorrow will mark 3 years, 6 months, 2 weeks and counting in Maintenance!
Imma really proud about that since I've never EVER stayed in maintenance for any significant amount of time! Okay, seriously, I NEVER did maintenance before which would explain my years and years of yo-yo dieting!
Honestly, it's truly easier to stay 100% OP every.single day then to have to battle "FAT Jo" and her carb addiction!
Imma gonna stay 100% OP today and let tomorrow take care of itself!

They must have gotten ANOTHER raise this year too b/c my principal said his paycheck didn't go down with the increase in medical/health insurance, that his went UP!
You'd think he wouldn't say something like that to us since all of us went home with a smaller paycheck on Friday...but he's a blooming idiot!
It wasn't as BAD as I had thought. I think the admin email about increasing medical/health was misleading in the sense that the % she quoted was the TOTAL amount they were gonna take out, NOT an added increase... hope that made sense!
The difference in my paycheck was $2.50 less or $65 out-of-pocket for the entire year. Like I said, not too bad... but still, every single stinkin' year they INCREASE it! Pfffffffffffffffft!

You said it about middle class being the backbone and we support this country......and they are taking that away. We are over taxed and a dying middle class......soon it will be have and have nots and that won't be pretty when we get there! Nothing good is coming at all I can see. but all we can do is live thru it best we can right now I guess oh gosh don't get me started here......
|
Yeppers!
Not really sure middle class will be completely eliminated since we are the ones being squeezed for our hard-earned $$$$$$! See what I mean?

chatted with Barb. She wants to mountain hike with me so when the days and days of rain go by we will finally start changing over to fall stuff like hiking. Probably go back into the darn high 90s but once my mind flips to the next season it better damn well get here HAHA

That's cool that you and Barb are going be hikin' buddies!

CHILLY outside, wow....I think covering the pool will be soon now. Might as well get it done and over and move onto the next season I guess

Kinda luck I have, if I covered my pool (if I had one), we'd probably get a HEAT WAVE, KWIM???? Murphy's Law and all that!
You too, girlie!
