  • TGIF!

    I need sleep. Although we all know I’ll be awake at 6 a.m. tomorrow because that’s how my body works.

    Anyway…hi. How are you? Happy Friday.

    I need coffee then I will be better equipped to recap my day. Be back soon!

  • That is so inspirational. It’s very easy to wallow in grief and self pity.  Good for her.  And thanks for sharing her story!

    I finally finished removing the wallpaper in my dining room. My sister-in-law is coming for a visit tomorrow, so it pushed me to finish, since it’s the first time she’ll see my home.

    Had a phone conversation with a therapist today, and she’s hooking me up with some people who will help me with my anxiety issues.  Very timely since my anxiet…[Read more]

  • Working on it. I got up early today and was showered and dressed before hubby was up. Left the house right after he did. Now I’m trying to finish up sorting all those books. And laundry. I wish the temperatures would at least get out of the mid to upper 90’s. The amount of laundry I’d have to do would drop significantly. Supposedly mid week next…[Read more]

  • Sounds like a good plan!

  • Robin Miller replied to the topic October 5 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 1 month ago

    Yup, sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and ask for help. Not a thing wrong with that and something I should do more.

    Still working on the house. Sometimes I think that I will be working on cleaning out the house forever!

    Breakfast was a Quest bar

    Lunch will be turkey and veggie tots

    Dinner will be leftovers.

  • Mid-week sweep!

    I see today you meet with the nutritionist. I want to hear how that goes, please.

    Have you been making more time for yourself this week? I know you made time for ME by looking at that e-book. I’m very thankful.

  • Mid-week sweep! How are things going?

    I hope the stress is manageable my friend. 🙂

  • I have a confession to make. My daughter’s 16th birthday is STRESSING ME OUT!

    And it’s my own fault.

    All she asked for was a party where she could invite all her family and some of her friends. She has a big family (her dad’s side) so this requires a hall and once my mind heard “hall” it became this huge thing. And that has brought me near a…[Read more]

    Ok here’s how the day shook out. Not great but it is what it is!

    • Sausage Egg McMuffin for breakfast
    • Indian butter chicken w/ salad for lunch
    • Power Crunch Bar for snack
    • A chalupa from Taco Bell for dinner

    Mostly because I just really was in an “I don’t care” kind of mood. I thought this morning about why that was and have determined it’s…[Read more]

    <p style=”text-align: left;”>I woke up very tired this morning. I’m on day 4 of a major headache (we had to front come thru) that I just can’t seem to shake. However, I am getting some things done. I bought a 4 pound tub of peanut butter and on Monday and by mid afternoon (I’m taking a lunch break) the entire tub will have been made into protein…[Read more]

    This is relatively minor. Three years ago when OAC Convention was in Orlando the hotel ATM machine apparently had a card skimming device affixed to it and someone made off with $5,000 of my money! After fighting with the bank (who thought I spent it and was trying to recoup…because, like, I would do that, #1. And #2 by the money was withdrawn…[Read more]

  • Today’s big goal: Call the IRS. (Don’t ask.)

    But first…I’ve had some bank account fraud! I get alerts if my bank account balance is low or goes to zero and I did today and checked it and someone has been using my card to take Lyfts all over San Francisco. Here’s the thing that irritates me. If I, Nikki Massie, go out of town and forget to tell…[Read more]

    Did my Zumba! Felt good.

  • Robin Miller replied to the topic October 3 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 1 month ago

    I woke up this morning, as my husband said, totally frazzled. I can’t seem to maintain a thought in my head. However, I did get my “monthly maintenance” things done. (ran dishwasher cleaner through the dishwasher, disposal cleaner through the disposal, washing machine cleaner thru the washer and cleaned the filters on the washer and dryer…[Read more]

    Ok so your mother-in-law is going in my prayers ASAP.

    My boyfriend has both Type II diabetes and stage 4 kidney disease (he has both kidneys but is on peritoneal dialysis) so I know how those things can complicate other stuff.

    While I think your husband is right, I think you are right too. You’re a worrier. That’s part of who you are! So I think…[Read more]

  • I’m wondering if we’ll see another heyday of daily check-ins. That would be a great thing for this somber Tuesday!

    RIP Tom Petty. Your music got me through a lot.

    Ok so…I’m determined to get past this mental funk I’ve been in. I think just all the general negativity in the world has been weighing on me. I have a few items I need to take action…[Read more]

    I had this long post typed out and then my computer quit.

    My heart is sad for the Las Vegas victims and their families. I feel like we are reaching a critical mass of crises in the world. I feel anxious about it. I wonder if you all are feeling the same way?

    Just know that we can talk about it here! I know you guys well enough to know you’d show…[Read more]

  • Happy Monday! (if there can be such a thing)

    Today I’m catching up on all the things I didn’t do this past weekend and should’ve.

    My grocery shopping is done. Found out that the the entire chain of stores is out of the only coffee my husband drinks. And it’s their store brand! My store has been sending frantic emails to corporate but corporate…[Read more]

  • Thank you much!

    Those are the types of things I am incapable of seeing the 1,245,678th time I’ve looked at it. 😉
