Tweety I hadn't realized it was Nurses Week.  I have a tendency to be a loner too

Stars I'm glad you can keep some perspective on things, here's hoping a spot for her opens soon

Dianah hope your recovery continues and that you're OK for the festival

NJ22 glad you found an counselor and have had some weight loss success

Got a new case yesterday, but other than that work wasn't too bad.  The big news for us was that our manager has been promoted, so she'll be moving up and being replaced, likely by someone from our team.  Glad for her but a disappointment for us

Rest of the day was pretty good, exercised and spent some time reviewing some new Meetup groups I had identified, decided I will try 2 new ones

Today will likely be a little quieter at work unless we have a meeting or something.  Should be quiet after work too, going to look at trying some new dating apps and sites, and reflect on the process to make sure my commitment matches my motivation

Warmer day here in the mid 70s, with thunderstorms expected both this morning and afternoon

Hello all!

Joe, workplace changes can be challenging.  I hope this one is not, and goes smoothly for you and your team.  What two groups from Meetup are you considering?

Carry on with the weight loss, nurseje22!  I usually don't lose much the first two weeks, but then it (reluctantly, it seems!) starts coming off, slowly.  I hope you and your counselor are compatible and the sessions are profitable for you. 

My cold IS better, thank you all for your support.  I slept last night without head being elevated.  Today is prep day for the festival, so I will be out to the grocery store, then home packing and getting foodstuffs ready.  I need to drop off a birthday gift for my walking partner, too.

It should be in the mid 80's at the festival, and in the 50's at night.  Dh has everything ready to go in the RV.  Looking forward to seeing friends and jamming and camping.  I hope to continue weight loss while I'm there, too.  I have probably dropped 5-7 lb, need another 10-20 to GO. 

Have a good day!

Hey~

SiL came and took Nannie for the day. I was still in bed and was surprised to wake up and find out it was 2 PM! GADS!

Then I had to go through my bills, pay a few, and plan somehow to figure out a budget by seeing what I have to pay out every month. I am bummed out about how lousy I am handling this new LOW income (only my SS check and $400/mo from BiL and SiL for Nannie care.) I am going to have to be very, VERY stringent with $ and stick to it. I am contemplating talking about my $$ woes w/ BiL and SiL. Maybe get some suggestions; I wouldn't say no to an offer for an add'l $100/mo , but I am not certain about asking for that! 

So, all I got done today was fretting about money/income, then a few errands. They will be bringing Nannie home pretty soon, and I hope something for me for supper.

Not feeling too chatty, just bummed out.
