I bought one of those kids inflatable pools at the beginning of the season (I do not have kids or grandchildren) and just may blow it up later, fill it and just sit in it. I'm sure the neighbors will love that. We live in a 55+ community and the rules are pretty strict about what you can put outside in the common area, but my little patio should be okay. I am sure it will make for some good gossip for the neighbors. The lady sitting out in a little kids pool. It looks like a watermelon, so even more fun. We will see.
Rar, Boondock, Someday, Countrystix, Jewel, Venus, Dee and anyone else on here that I am forgetting - all have a great Sunday.

I have a friend in Melbourne OZ who did just that.... a guy....and he had SO much fun in that little pool through the very hot summer..
So.....trying to keep things straight in my head....Rar played golf, you did not.
And there are a ton of birthdays this weekend and I cannot remember whose.
SO for today's birthday people:

Here for you honey.... 
s ❤️
I am on a road back to health and fitness after truly not looking after myself for the past year.
Plus I went through stuff that caused a lot of weight gain, pretty sure you know what I mean, and now it is new health one day at a time.
So onward together. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm doing pretty good today. Keeping busy outside in the garden and building shelters for my critters.
Regarding SMART meetings, can I just start attending them or would you recommend going through their materials online first? Do you do video or just audio? Are people OK with no video? I'm not sure I want to do that just yet...
Thanks.

I just looked at their website then clicked on the link about 5 mins before start of meeting. the audio and computer are automatically off and you can choose to switch on if you like. I do not use them and stay anonymous. Most people are no video so nothing to worry about
I sometimes type something but for my first few meetings I just listened. I do have the handbook now too but you don't need it to start. Hope you find them helpful. Enjoy your time in the garden today too

I woke up this morning full of dread, shame, horror, fear, guilt, regret. Not to mention feeling physically awful. Sure you've all been there. I'm just writing it down to remind me in future weeks if a drink seems like a good idea.
Day 1 coming to a close. Feel slightly better. Goodnight to you all or have a good day, wherever you are in the world
