FriYAY + Happy Daughter's Day

 

Today was a workday for me...

My Absolute Greatest achievement in life!!  

She may not look totally like me, but we do have the same shape legs...

*****

Sooo, I made this social media post yesterday late afternoon. I had talked over a few things with Mr, and bounced ideas off of the G'Kid, making a decision for my upcoming 2027 birthday.

I looked at my calendar and thought 'next week I'll look at race opportunities '...

... BUT ...

While at work today I get a message from Knoxville Track Club member Melissa 

You can see what my response was... 

This is HUGE not only to me, but For Me and exactly what I needed to get my Arse in gear!

I finished my shift early, [we were Slow] I went came home to put a wet load in dryer, make dinner for Mr, finish charging camera batteries for race tonight, taking G'Kid to work soon...

Until tomorrow Be Safe, Be Blessed.

Thankful Thursday

 

I'm Thankful to have started my Christmas shopping... 

Thankful for friends as well as business connections...

Ever so Thankful to be able to afford the rising cost of food...

Thankful for the gift of a 1st edition not even released yet book...

Thankful for all my Many, Many Blessings...

Wednesday Works + W.O.W Revival

 

Had some ''touch-up'' painting to get done at the rental back porch...

I really like how it turned out...

*****

Came home to eat a bite of lunch then got started on clearing out the raised garden bed.

It...was...LONG...overdo!!

I did leave 1 sweet cherry tomato plant and the pepper plants. We'll wait and see how the weather is over the next few weeks.

⮟ Look at what I salvaged from the garden ⮟

Oh My YUM!!

*****

Finished up with outside stuff, showered, and waited for Mr to get off work. 

Tonight was W.O.W. Revival at church...

Isn't he handsome!!

Though the Revival series starts a bit later, so it ends later in the evening it's been so worth it! I've been MIA from Sunday services this month due to either running in a race or I'm working a race...1 last race to work yet this month and 2 in October.

It's time to eat some dessert, watch a bit of TV, and wind down for bed. 

Until later...be Safe, Be Blessed.

Tuesday Tidbits

 

Thanks goodness you've arrived!

[sigh] That's all there is to say...

Shhhh, don't tell the kid, it's a Christmas Gift...

Sylvia is doing so Well! Just look at her.

Happy Homemaker Monday 9-21-26

 

Tomorrow!!! We've almost survived the grueling summer temps...

Hopefully & Prayerfully today is the last of 90+°.

Linking up with Sandra for Happy Homemaker Monday...

** The Weather **

** As I look outside my window **

It's late afternoon 85° and 🌞Sunny🌞

 ** Right now I am **

I've been Busy as a 

 

as G'kid taxi, and getting things done around the house.

** OOTD **

Loungey shorts and over-size tShirt

** Thinking and pondering [how I'm feeling] **

Accomplished & proud of myself for everything I do.

 

** What I'm reading **

Devotions-Spiritual & Pathways for Women's Bible Study..[even if I miss a Sunday for whatever reason I'm still reading my Pathways]

*

The Hollow Farm Chronicles..D.Clayton is a local author [we have many], D. Clayton will be releasing his 3rd book with a book signing event on Oct 3rd, yes I'm going, and of course I'll get the book. I added You Me Her by Sue Watson to the Mix...

** TV Shows this week **

Some regular programs have started on local channels, we're DVR'ing them for now.

** Menu Plan **

Cooking a Pork Loin for tonight, leftover tomorrow then the rest will go in the freezer for future meal[s] 

** Meals at Home **

Mr and I both ate out 1 evening then I had my race'cation & Mr went to his Class Birthday Bash so 19/31

** No unNecessarySpend Challenge Update **

 September Challenge 25/30 so far 19/30

** Action Items**

This list is always ongoing...Walk/Run Training moves to a higher priority daily, I plan on getting more of the landscape mulch thrown and move rocks, Laundry has been going off and, on all day, still need to work on bank stuff, office needs more organization, over the weekend I mentally started a Fall/Winter clean/purge plan [bring on cooler temps], 

** Today's Motivation **

** Something fun to share **

I invested in myself and bought a new 100 Envelope Savings Challenge binder. The G'Kid got the old one. I've mentally committed to putting 1/4--1/3 of my Waffle Stop pay in this challenge and the rest will go into SF envelopes. Once I get Christmas stuff finished, I'll be going back to budgeting $$ monthly for SF as well. Tightening the Belt is not new to me...😉.

** Next Up **

I'll be ''working'' several races coming up--this is so I can ask for free entries on a few other events, as in this years Frosty Feet Winter Challenge starting mid-December.

**  Calendar/Schedule this week **

** From the camera **

Rescued & Jobless...outdoor PurrKids Leon & Jr

** Reflection(s) **

No re-Set Sunday but Different Activities

My Good Morning from Plainfield!

Regardless of where I'm at, this is The Most AMAZING sight!

Going to try a get a Blue ribbon to present to my local DPD Chief next City Counsil meeting. 

Something fun for the kiddo's while they wait on mom or dad...

Crossing the bridge...it looks like a huge swing in the middle,

They're ready for Trick'or'Treat,

Not sure what this planter is made of, but I want one 🤣 or Two!

Just say Yes to 'old' fashion Hop Scotch!

Walk/Running for the Blue this year...

PR Bell because it's been my best time this year...[not for the race though🤔]

*****

After the race and once I finished talking to some folks I went back to the hotel to freshen up, eat 👎 hotel 👎 breakfast, I text the Mr to let him know I was heading home sweet home!

Traffic was Horrible!

Miles and Miles of Road construction in both Indiana & Kentucky hindered my travel time getting home. I did stop to stretch and use the restroom...

My favorite rest stop had this hanging up,

❓ 😲❓ Who knew?? I didn't until today...

Home Sweet Kentucky Home [state that is]...

Loved this mural painted on the Visitor Center wall.

*****

It took about 3-40 minutes longer to get home [stupid road construction] but finally, Home Sweet Home to my Mr, and all the PurrKids. Unloaded to car, Kissed the Mr, changed clothes and relaxed.

After standing working the BYB expo, then walk/running this morning, I did use my foot massager a few cycles...felt like Heaven! A small bite for dinner, and little TV with Mr and relax more!

*****

All of a sudden...POOF! the entire house went DARK...

Mr then received this message on his phone...We didn't hear anything outside happening but once we were, this is what we seen...

Apparently the transformer was shot and finally went KaPut!

We were the only ones on our block affected 😒...

Shew!! What an Adventurous day...re-set clocks, re-boot TV's, then went to bed.

Another busy week coming up and of course Happy Homemaker Monday tomorrow. 

Sometimes Saturday

 

Sometimes the best Hydration comes from your Mr & friends at Ky Souvenirs...

My ''runner'' kid signed up for the Half - Marathon

Sometimes you get Free Fuel Food at a race expo...

Sometimes it's surreal knowing you're getting ready to cross the same finish line for the 3rd year in a row as an Ambassador !

Flat Ruby for tomorrow's race because Sometimes you need to brag & promote yourself!
