Thrive Without Janelle: The Accountability Group

Thanks, the vase survived!  I'm feeling better this afternoon.  I do have a very small scrape on my face.  I've only done one task on my list.  Maybe tomorrow I can get to two or three more.

They've worked pretty much effortlessly.  I don't know what your budget is, but with the laser you won't have to deal with having to frequently buy the pricey color cartridges so figure that in the cost calculation.

Thanks, I need a printer as some items I prefer to be hard copy. It's to the point where my own bank is charging me $2.50 for any bank statement they mail me. I have to pay to receive a receipt of my money (held in their company) but I'm expected to only use online, yet still pay them a "service charge"?

I send an etransfer, which involves no one's help but I have to pay for the pleasure. That should be an arrangement between the bank and owner of etransfer software.  I still have some cheques BUT some companies are refusing paper payments: cheques, money order, etc. 

I've yet to see a bank having a "bad year". If this was ever announced, I'd immediately demand the list of any manager receiving bonuses. If there are bonuses handed out, there's money.

Oops, sorry absolom. I went off course, and printer talk turned into hatred of banks, 😂 😆

Are you in the UK?  I've been hearing stories of UK banks having lost their minds.

Guess I forgot to hit Submit yesterday. Friday's total steps was 12,176.

Yesterday's total steps were:

13,026.

Tried to get more steps in earlier in the day when I am usually doing more things on the computer. I usually just do the minimum 200/hr until around noon, but I want to steps spread out a little better.

So far no pains, I do notice knees will be stiff first couple of steps when I first stand up after siitting if I sit too long. Another reason to spread the steps out more...

Nothing really planned for the day, but I'm sure I'll keep busy!

11,967 steps yesterday.

Slowed down a bit, lap time with Millie cat and even dozed off in the recliner mid day! Knees a touch achey so the rest came well.

The crystal lady messaged me early this morning and wants to make another purchase. So the morning will be spent with her. Other than that, just taking the garbage up the road is all I have planned.

11,730 steps yesterday.

The crystal lady was here for 3 hours so not too much walking during that time. She paid by check this time...finally realized it was the better way to pay. I just asked her to mark them "garage sale items/purchase" which she did. So Monday's are going to be on the hectic side again for a while...

I went out to deposit the check and do a tiny grocery run so got some extra steps there. Nothing on agenda today.

11,650 steps yesterday.

Spending a little more time sitting, Millie cat gets in my lap the minute I sit so I guess I have been neglecting her. Maybe I do need to slow down a bit. I'll see how today goes. Not much planned for today...

Whelp, my TV died! Also my Dish box is so old it needs upgrading. I've been a Dish customer for 16yrs, made me eligible for a free Hopper upgrade. The tech is coming to install new box tomorrow, but I also think the TV itself died, so I will be taking a trip to town and and get new TV so tech can set up all tomorrow.  Yay for new TV???

You may be happy with a TV upgrade in resolution and features.

I got a Samsung 40" 5 series. My first "Smart" TV!! My old one was also a Samsung and lasted a long time. It was only a 33" or somewhere abouts, new one seems soooo much larger!! I can't unbox it alone,  I'm hoping the Dish tech will help me and get it all set up with the new Hopper. I'm going to be playing with my new toys for days I think learning how everything works!!

Meanwhile it is weird not having the TV on in the background. I dug out my old "boom box" the CD and Tape parts are no longer working but the radio part does so at least there is some sounds in the house.

Hoping tomorrow goes smoothly, I hate when there are disruptions like this!!

You'll love it and find things you can do like cast videos you want to watch to the TV so for longer ones you aren't tied to a device.

10,318 steps yesterday. As the day began, I didn't think I'd be getting anywhere near that!

This morning it was hurry up with all the morning chores, only to end up having to wait for Dish tech to arrive. And hope he sets up the TV too...

After that, put things back in their places and try to calm down back to normal activities.

Yesterday morning to add to all the other anxiety, I got rudely awakened by a message on my phone.  (I keep it by my bed, have had it close ever since DD became a Police officer yrs ago in case of emergency) Anyway, the beep beep woke me from a sound sleep 1/2 way through a dream. There was a lament, from the crystal lady, literally 3+" long about how she felt I was being mean to her charging what I did for the last crystals.That I had promised low prices etc.  What did she do to make me turn on her...HUH???  I had told her weeks ago what was left was high end material. Even so she got them for far less than I paid. She went on about how I wasn't being fair to her... OMG!! she agreed to every price I charged her!  It was just a rough start to what turned out to be a worse day all around!!  I'm not forcing her to buy from me, if she is unhappy, just try to buy similar items for what I am charging elsewhere, please do!!! ARRGGGHHH And to text all this at 6:15 AM ..... I felt bad that she felt this way, but I also felt I was more that fair with her. I have yet to reply to her. It put me in a very depressed place for most of the morning. A place I have been before, that never ends well.........  /rant. Sorry just needed to get it out!

10,987 steps yesterday.

A little over 2 hours was spent with the Dish tech getting new TV set up and the new Hopper box installed and then learning how the controller works. Nice to have it all set up now. Now my challenge is remembering how everything works and getting in the habit of using all the new features!

Rest of the day was just the regular things. Today my friend is coming over with her old foam mattress topper and we're going to cut it down for a topper for the cat platform and for inside some of the boxes in their "house". So probably not much more walking than yesterday.

I hope you enoy the all new viewing experience.  It will hopefully be super convenient for you.  

Luxury for the kitties. Go for it!
