Haha rowing machine in the gym!! I went to a Uni where rowing was a big thing. Hated the rowing wankers!! But the machines are awesome. I am absolutely knackered now though. Think I overdid it. The zeal of the reformed!

Hi Lovies.... 116 daze. Felt like giving in this week. The massive urges are gone and the black clouds are turning grey... soon to be blue again I hope. xoxo

There are no rowing machines at my gym, but I want to try one.

Great job joy!!

Hey darling Joy.....116 is awesome to the max!!!!
Were you maybe under more pressure from family stuff this week?
Not that you need to answer that....just know we care. s xx ❤️

I grew up with one and I bloody hated the thing. HATED. Wasn't fond of the exercise bike either. Come to think of it it occurs to me that my parents bought these things because I was very overweight. They used them and I did not. Years later, they got a treadmill (after I moved out, ha ha) and I loved that. I have one now.

But rowing machines....they are torture to me.

Taxes, work, empty nest, full moon~

venuscat

Oh yeah, that moon has a lot to answer for....especially for women....

Huge hugs....I had a feeling it was around pain of having no kids at home. I can't imagine....really....I think you have to give birth to them in order to want an 18 year old around. OK, not funny.

I'm sorry work is so full on and taxes seem to be such a pain in the butt for everyone here. And I thought they were due in April so I am super-confused. Is this the time when everyone gets everything together for the accountant?

Just so much love. I hope the clouds go from grey to blue ASAP. s ❤️

Corporate taxes for business filings are March 15th. Books are a mess. Finally settled on a bookkeeper today which was a huge weight off my shoulders. Yes peaks and valleys with my boy being gone... It went so fast... To all parents, CHERISH EVERY SECOND!

Ohhhh, thank you for explaining. s
And I really am sorry that it is so hard once they fly off to college.
Sending more love s xx

I personally take care of my taxes asap after the first of the year Suze... as soon as I get the paperwork for the prior year from my employer. You get your refund faster that way, plus accountants are super busy if you wait until closer to the April deadline. I submitted everything to my accountant weeks ago.

Home now and going to watch some TV I don't know what the bf is doing tonight, it may actually be the rare spontaneous night where we're both home together without having planned to be. I'm also ok if not though.

venuscat

So appreciate understanding this....I have had some difficulty getting clear answers so far. s

Were you able to get soup of some kind? I know I said Chicken Soup but I am Jewish so what else would I say? I imagine you like Thai soups and they would have the ginger and other wonderful smelly things that kill me but will help you feel better. xx

It's Wednesday, awesome TV night if you like Dick Wolf's Chicago shows....Med, Fire, PD.

(And yes, I am a walking tv guide, but I feel quite at home now with SBTS being our resident movie goer and expert ).

OH.....we didn't talk Oscars. I would love to know what you thought. I LOVED it. xx

soberbythesea

I loved it too Suze I really thought they got most of the major categories right this time.

I'm kind of waiting to figure out dinner until I find out what the bf is doing, but I have lots of places I can get soup from. The blessing/curse of living in NYC is that we can get pretty much any kind of food in the world delivered at all hours. Thai soup is a good idea.
