September Sunday Hello
Be right back. Have to go get Utley.
Albert Schweitzer
Utley was out back, and I wanted to get him in so he wouldn't get too hot. It's warming up out there. Of course, he has to come back wanting to play fetch. Argh! Type a few words, throw the ball. Type, throw.
Well, today, I woke up early again. But, I want to just close my eyes right here and doze again. Hoping I stay awake in order to get to church. I love our worship services, and have missed the past couple weeks, either because of the foot, or the back.
Today is a super sports day for Philadelphia. Eagles open their season. Then, because of a rain storm that would not give up, I have two Phillies games to watch. Thank God for the DVR
Hope everyone has a blessed day.
Hugs,
Trish

Morning Trish and OFF family to show up later on!
My turn to get up and open the clubhouse and laundry rooms today...had Bandit with me for his morning walk little brat would NOT poop so that means another walk later on...lol I NEED to walk more as my jeans are getting tight on me!!!!!! YES I said TIGHT!!! Seems the pounds are coming back again and I am ignoring them...yikes!!!!!!!!!! Sooooooooo payday comes friday and all I am going to buy is good food for me!!! No more junk foods at all anymore go into MY mouth!!!!!! Why did I do that to myself???????? I was down to 170 pounds for goodness sake and here I am way up again!!!! STRESS!!!!!!!! I love my job here but then the loss of not having my best friend anymore and then the threat from a tenant getting a gun and shooting us started more stress...my pap test worry more stress...my family more stress...seems just one thing after another for me to stress over!!! Maybe I need those I don't give a F*** pills...that would be to easy now wouldn't it? I have ALWAYS been a stress eater and I said I was a foodaholic (not sure if I spelled that right) And ever since I found out I could eat ANYTHING I just started eating it! Well I do not eat chinese any more because I do get very sick and throw that up with a vengence!!! STRESS STRESS STRESS!!!!! But I DO promise that I WILL get back on track and get this weight off again!!!!!!!!!! AMEN!!
Went to the car show here yesterday and it was awesome!! They lined up on the street so we could see them all and then after a certain time they started them up and drove them all up and down the street so we could hear them roar!!!!!!!! Now THAT was cool!!!!!! Even had one there that I used to have only in a different color....1970 plymouth GTX...back in the day I was at a light and this cool looking guy was next to me in his car...he looked at me reved his engine...light turned green we took off...I beat the pants off him!!!!! LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Got home only to find out I blew the engine...my husband at the time asked what the hell happened. I told him this guy wanted to race...he asked who won. I said I did!! He said ok and fixed the car again...He said if I had lost there would have been hell to pay!!! Yeah don't I know that! He used to beat the hell out of me!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!! But anyhow it was great seeing those cars and trucks in action instead of just parked all the time!! Then we went to the VFW for Bar BINGO. Can we say BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah!!!!!!!! The guy called so slow it felt like we were there for 10 hours instead of just under 3!!!!!!!!! And no we didn't win...came home to watch NASCAR...rain delay...so we got to see the start of that...got into it and another rain delay! I gave up I was tired!! Guess they did finish after all...didn't win that eiher from the board we were on. I give up. Waste of money. Just not lucky at all anymore!!! Sighs.......
Today so far it is 53* here and chance of rain again. Good makes me feel like working on the afghan again...broke out in hives from it the other night big time!!! Not sure why it happens once in awhile but it does. Almost 1/2 way now and it is looking really cool!!! Rick is drooling over it so bad....LMAOOOOO
Well better get going here looks like Bandit is ready to go back out again!
Thoughts and Prayers for ALL that need them!!!

I hear you about the stress eating. I've been there.
One of the best things I've done, which I thought was crazy at the time, was to attend and participate in Overeaters Anonymous. It is the perfect place for stress eaters, like you and me. I learned a slew of coping skills, and learned to apply the 12 Steps of Overeaters Anonymous to my life. The steps are identical to my AA 12 Steps.
I know what you are going through is hard right now. That is why I am suggesting you try attending a few OA meetings to see if you think it will help you. The beauty part of the OA program is that the only requirement for membership is the desire to stop overeating.
Here is the website to do some reading about the program. Once you get there, you should find a link for finding local OA meetings in your area. They are usually held in church's, where the OA group rents the room for the weekly meeting.

Trish--hope your Sunday is blessed and pleasant for you today!
Judy--I know what you mean about stress eating. I do it, too. When I get upset, I want a cookie!
So, I appear to be doing okay so far today. No backache, no stomach pains--at least none for real. I'm still imagining them after I eat, but I'm feeling okay. Last night I had some cottage cheese, a couple of saltines, 1/2 a peach and then closer to bedtime, a small banana. This morning I had oatmeal. So I'm planning to make roasted chicken for our dinner tonight. Maybe with some mashed potatoes. Nothing spicy or difficult to digest. I'm wondering if maybe I've developed an ulcer. I've been under such stress these past several months. Just not sure what my "attack" on Friday was all about, but I plan to find a doctor and get it checked out next week.
Butch was such a sweetheart all day yesterday. He kept Benny occupied for me the whole day so I could rest. Let me tell you all, he was WORE out last night! LOL! It's not easy running after a 2 year old all day. I just smiled and said, "so when I tell you that I'm exhausted and nearing the end of my rope, do you believe me now?" He said, "YES!"
It's a lovely day here today. It was actually COOL here this morning with a touch of fall in the air. Today we are working on our guest room, sort of. It's taking Butch a while to get started. LOL! He's having a few too many beer breaks!
Hope you all have a lovely Fall Sunday. Love you all!
Vickie
Watching the Bears beat the Colts so far. Will take a shower at halftime. It's a beautiful fall day here and have the sliding door open, which Juliette loves. She likes to smell the air and listen to the birds and see the bugs and flying leaves.
I think I might have figured out what Juliette is allergic to: plastic. I've been using stainless steel bowls for her food and water, and she's not been getting the sores on her neck. Between that and the flea treatment, she's much better.
Judy, I know all about stress eating. That's how I put on my weight. And not exercising because of my knees and back.
Vickie, glad you're feeling better. I would still call a doc if I were you, especially while Butch is still in town.
Anyway, not much else is going on. Have a good day.
Eileen,
My older cat that is allergic to fleas is also allergic to one of the cat litter mixes that has a perfume in it. She will itch so bad and make sores all over her neck. My cats' vet said that usually those cats that have flea allergies will also have other various allergies. We are all the time watching her for signs that she has other allergies.
