September Of 2019 Is Almost Gone.

Heading to COEUR D ALENE tomrorow and I doubt I will have time to post anything. The first part I will try to do my September report.
Haven't got my bullet journal done for the up coming month.

Like to weigh in at home on Sunday, stayed the smar 202.25. Then on Tuesday with my weight lost group.

Murphy and I wrap some fencing around one tree, deer can be hard on them. I went and open the extension office for the group only one other person showed up. So counting my self there were only one person.
We're not a big group but most our wheel of year celebration does a little better. I know one need to be caution in this area who  not of main stream Christan faith.
Statement time...I am little sadden by the number that came. People says they want to meet twice a month. I wonder how serious they are. I understand there no perfect time for all us.
It been talk about 2nd and 4th Saturday or Sunday of the month would be good. I won't be around the 2nd weekend in October. So hopeful someone else will handle it.
I watch two video from Marzipan one is one WATER COLOR and APPLIQUE

I know I been promising a video of town down area. This is our main street a little two blocks long. Our main street runs North and South. The business your looking at is on the west side.

Coffee is on

Editor Note...Looks like I should do our main street again. 

Going to Make It.

12 items are on my table ready to go to the thrift store, and I am positive I will find 2 more to go. Then I have meant my goal of 80 items

I am sure there will be more to go to the thrift store. But now it time to do some focus on organizing fabrics and paints.

Today I sanded my PVC piping with sand paper. Well next thing I will do is wash it and glue it together. If memory serves me right. This set looks like I will be able to hold 32...2 oz bottle of paint.

I tried a new recipe PUMPKIN CHILLI I will be taking it to our pagan gathering or more less our discussion group.

I hope this catches on. That when we meet at the extension office that someone will bring a soup, that we can break bread together.

I had small sample and it taste pretty good...I do say.

Start to cut 1.50 (3.8cm) strips found a good box to put them in. This size I use for my locker hook rugs and project. I bought a bunch of medical staff tops, I believe they all came from thrift stores.

The only complaint I have is cutting does make my upper back, shoulder, and neck sore. There even a few shirt Murphy surrender to me. Plus I even came up with some other creative things to go with the strips.

But once I get these cut it will make room on bed and clear out anther box.

It sure been windy majority of day. Some people said they had up to 2 inches of snow in there yard. For me it just stayed in mountains.

Murphy and went to town. I got my car and they had to order a part for the defroster. Not sure when it will be in. Monday I have doctor appointment to see the plastic surgery. Although I am not having plastic surgery. I am looking at reconstructive surgery.

So we will end driving the pick up down.

Just need to take my camera so I can film video of what our main street looks like. I just hope the weather isn't just plain awful, like a drenching weather. 

Just quick look on fit day...Ok I will do my happy chart with for month of September, and sure there day I missed...Very Happy 1 day....Happy 9 days....Neutral 1 day....Unhappy 2 days...Very Unhappy 1 day.

Not bad I say.

It more then

Loosing weight isn't necessary the physical part of it. Eating and exercising. There dealing with the emotional part of it.

A life style change and thinking differently. It doesn't happen with flick of switch.

As I been loosing weight slowly I been looking at my out look on life. Sure I haven't complete got it down yet.

One thing I notice I feel better since I been decluttering.

The five things I learn on way of changing habits

1. Don't take on two much
2. Make room for those so called “naughts” being to strict your going to crash and burn. Yes I have those cookies. The day I have my sweet is on Tuesday and Wednesday but I still stay in my calorie count.
3. Good common sense bounds. Telling your self your going to get up and run a mile a day and you can't walk around the block. Start with walking around your yard. My eating ends at 7PM and don't start up til 7AM
4. Change your environment does help. Right now I am decluttering and organizing
5. Recognizing those road block or baggage we carry though out life. Learning to deal with them and change them. One is giving my self credit.

Yesterday in blog post I showed my two messy beds. There many reason why this was done. Knowing that I need to take care of other things before I move on to cleaning off the beds.

First I need to make my PVC paint holders and continue organizing the shelf that the PVC paint holders go on.

Two boxes of art and craft supplies is now setting on the bottom shelf. This need to be going though and taken care of.

I figure I could find 14 more pieces to donate to the thrift store. And clean up the ruff edge on PVC pipe that was cut.

I won't be able to connect the piece together til next week. There no PVC primer or glue here. Hubby and I are heading to Courd Alene on Monday, will get some down there.

Strange thing happen this morning. I woke up around 4:30 to real strong smell of onion. And I got up and check out in the kitchen, to see if anything was left on. Check it all out nothing was on.

So I came to conclusion that there were possible a new spirit was moving about. It a little early for the veil to be thinning. It happen more closer to SAMHAIN OR HALLOWEEN or spiritual realm. See I believe there all sort of things around us from not so good ones to angles.

I don't communicate with them. But I am aware of them.

So those spirit who wish to be in my present. It quite simple they need to behave and be civil, or they can leave.

We all have the free will and power to move spirits around.

So I doze back to sleep woke up around 6:30 and ask Murphy he was smelling some order. He thought it smell like cleaning fluid.

Wonder if it could be possible gas leak and to call the gas company. I told him they put rotten egg smell though the line.

So he went down stair to pantry and all of onion went bad.

So that was our spirit.

Well went to work and when got home. Murphy was telling me that the neighbor cat didn't enter worship circle and walk around the entire thing.

And no there just two extra bed, we have a king size we sleep on. And I won't be giving you excuses why there clutter...Excuses should challenge you to make changes.

Did Spill A Bit.

I thought yesterday I could of kept my calories in check. I try to keep my calories between 2,060 and 2,310. I had 2.656 calories.

I try to get 7,500 steps which I haven't been doing. It seam my steps been right around 5.000 give or take.

Not sure when I will ne totally back on trac. I got on back my health trac. But there other things I need to get back on track. Since I hosted Mabon party I been out of sorts.

But I guess one could say I am slowly coming around.

As one can see my bed has been a catch all. I hope to be on these beds in near future. But there is a few things I need to do before tackling the beds.One things I need to do is have a place to put the things I want to keep and I know there will be items that need to leave. It doesn't serve a purpose. Or one can say it ran it course.

I've gotten rid of 60 items and I will be taken 6 items out of here. My goal was to get rid of 80 items. And 14 more to go hopeful I can complete this before the end of the month.

1. Tupperware veggie server
2. Recipes cards, 3 or 4 of them
3. CD or DVD
4. Gardenig card(s) 1 or 2 of them
5. doily
6. Cookbook, which ages ago local Mormon church put out and Liz son follows this faith and I am giving it to him. Although I had to wrap it. Reason is...it in shambles.

I got the my sewing area ready to go. But still need to get my fabrics, threads, patterns, and such. Also organize.

It More Then But I Should Do Ok

Didn't sleep all that well, and so far I been on track. Dinner I know I have ruffly just under 500 calories to go.

Will let you know tomorrow or following day if I stayed in my calorie count.

Been just walking around the place. I just don't want to go to bed this early. Afraid I would wake up like 2 in the morning.

Took Regis to Sandpoint for him to have his nerve stimultor adjusted. Which went good. Then our next adventure was the library there.

Well he forgot the movies and I ask him to get a small extension and I was planning to go back down on first or the second of October.

But we went also to dollar store, and picked up a few items. I got one of those Turkey solar dancing things. To put in our kitchen window. And also a head band that say “Boo !” and I might to part of my up coming Halloween costume.

So over to Wal mart in hope to found some PVC glue no luck. Did get some can fish. But my main reason look though a few work on my Halloween costume. I know I want to keep it under $21.60. I even look though the garage/shop and barn/shop.

But I check on chair mats. But I want to get one and let the grandchildren use it as a creative mat. Buy a set of dry erase pens . They can draw there own play ground or what ever.

But as I was in Walmart I saw some chalkboard and oil clothe and wonder if they could be use as a creative mat.

Like I said I didn't sleep well.

It Will Come Out All Good In Due Time.

Saw on twitter some where and which I don't do all that often. Plus I haven't got hang of like our current President has.

Was asking to see Sunset. The sun was actual behind and down below the Selkirk mountains. Notice around dinner now sun is complete down, one would call this dusk. 

It was all over the world. 

Weigh in happen at T.O.P.S and as a group we were up just under four pounds. I was up .75 pounds. I thought I did stay with in my personal bounds.

I figure how much I would eat at our pagan celebration. And I did ok when I ordered out when we went out with my son family.

I could of done slightly better at my sister in law.

But for some reason I had a small eating binge Monday. Like I couldn't stop. It was some where between bored and anxiety. See I don't deal with my emotions with alcohol, nicotine, or recreational drugs. Confession time...I dealed with my inter life with stuffing food in my mouth.

Was total back on track. Could of gotten more movement in. Calorie count in range and felt my life went emotional smooth.

Haven't had chance to take anything to local thrift store. But I real want to get my paint holders going. So I can free up some of my paint totes under the bed.

I am off to Sandpoint but most of the things I will only be checking the price on. There a few things I need to be getting.

Two tape measure the cloth type. Now there plastic. Our weight lost group is doing a competition with tape measure.

We're dividing off in two team. Each team and as we loose we cut the tape measure. So if our team loose 8.25 pounds we get to cut off 8.25 inches.

So which ever team cut off the most inches by end of November will be winning team.

For prizes we are making it WHITE ELEPHANT items.

Then possible I need to get some PVC glue and maybe a can spray paint for my paint storage I will be making out of PVC piping.

Then the next items I need to price out some vinyl floor mat. I know Staples handle these all though I will check in Walmart. I also need to check on set of dry eraser pens. Which Walmart carries.

Tuesday and Wednesday is what I call my naughty or maybe fun day would be much better term to use.

Meant my friend Qunella at Under the Sun and had a half cup of ice cream, actual they serve gelto. I took my dairy pill and to keep the bod system at bay.

Plus I bought a Seattle choc bar and ate half of it.

The flower though out this post someone brought as house warming gift for Mabon.

It Happen and It Was Good.

This weekend we celebrated our Mabon event Saturday after noon at our place. Then Sunday Morning we headed to Spokane to visit with Bart Family.

At Mabon or those who aren't know what Mabon celebration is “Fall Equinox” There were 12 of us. All though some came and left at different times.

First we had our feast of Turkey dinner and all the trimmings. Pagans have three harvest celebration. And afterward we had circle and to raise positive energy and give thanks for harvest and change of season.

Then the rest of we visit and such.

The following morning I went into what was our circle and there were plenty of warmth energy there.

Sunday Morning we headed Spokane and visit with Bart Family. Grand daughter Claudia was all excited Grandpa and Grandma came.

Of course we had to go and do all cool fun things with Grand kids. Like play with Lincoln logs, and all fun cool things.

Then Bart and Molly took us to PANEREA BREAD don't recall what everyone had. I had some veggie soup with half of a sandwich. Type of sandwich I had was BLT with turkey and avocado.

Then Bart and I went to LOWES and got some PVC pipe and it came in 10 ft length.

So once he got back we cut it into 3.5 pieces. But after it was all cut. My math was off and I thought 7ft of PVC would of covered it all of my paints. I was wrong.

Hopeful I get chance to get start putting my paint storage unit together.

On the way back we stop and seen Murphy sister Faith in POST FALLS and she gave us there old office chair. Which I am sitting on now.

Well a few thoughts and ideal and for the future. Might be 3 minutes to infinity. Like I said work on my paint holder.

But not sure if I need PVC glue, heading to Sandpoint for Regis to have his nerve simulator adjusted, which will be Wednesday. When we are in Sandpoint we will stop in to Library. Then two other place I need to stop is at STAPLES and see about vinyl floor mats. Not sure price or size I will need. Plus don't know if I need one or two of them.

Anyhow a few bills needs to be taken care of. Plus it looks like I need possible PVC primer and glue.

I like to finish the cover for next page of my sketchbook project.

Hope the Dimension is Correct.

Sat up the circle for our pagan ritual for Mabon. I've had host a pagan get together we just pot luck and BS.

This will be first time we will be having a circle done. In pagan faith a circle is were we have a ceremony of our faith. Our group try to hit all the days of wheel of year, and there 8 of them. About every 40 days.

After Mabon is Samhaim or better know as Halloween. But some may call it all Hallow Eve, All Saint Day, All Soul Day and Day of the Dead.

So we cleanse and ask all naughty deities to leave. And ask positive deities and spirits to say. Walk around smudging the circle with mixture of herbs.

We are using Murphy grand parents rock cut stands, for our altar.His Grandfather Clifford was a welder.

So it was all smudge and bless with moon water. So after we eat we will have our circle.

Then Sunday morning we will be going to Spokane to see my youngest and his family. I keep looking at my shelf were I can put my paints. And now I am seeing a few more different possible way of doing my paints.

But once I start opening and real looking at my paints. I will get a better ideal of the count.

Coffee is on

Duct Three and Two Third Nose.

Well I never thought I have gotten any place on de-cluttering. But I do have bottom shelf ready for paints.

And it should be complete before the fifth of October. If my math is correct I should be able to hold about 85 paints. Confession time...I am wishing for more room to hold more paints, but we will see.

And this way it will free up some of my tote that I can put fabrics in and I need for other craft supplies.

My goal is to have in sight and access to my craft supplies.

I still want to take 20 more items to the thrift store. I don't see any going til after Wednesday.

This Saturday I will be hosting a Mabon celebration in pagan community. It one of our wheel of year or celebration. It to give thanks for harvest season. And we can't forget the balance of the changing season.

Then Sunday Murphy and I are planning to and see our youngest son and his family.

He said he would chop my pvc pipe in length.

I know I haven't done and you tube video for a while, and I have two ideal of a video. Which I would like to do before end of month.

And even one for October.

Mange to get a walk in this morning and was wondering if I was under my calorie count for day. I was and that what counts.

Well I am sort of thinking KONMARI If it bring you joy...you should keep it. Well life bring me joy. But I have modify ideal on this.

It Not Here But It In The Making.

Found 5 more items to take the thrift store. And one I won't count. The one I'm not counting is some type of cd or dvd.

Let see I am hauling off is

1. Purse or some place call it a handbag.
2. Very large envelope maker
3. Stocking cap
4. Stocking cap
5. Sport bag.

Had to look back in my blog post to see what was my last count, of hauling items to thrift store.

Just learn I taken 55 items to the thrift store, so that would leave me 25. Now 5 leaving. So that easy math and now 20 items will need to go.

Can't say I've notice any great movement toward less clutter. But I notice some organization is coming together.

Well I got a desk and we got up to Liz place. It in her one extra room. I hope her and I can do some crafts back there.

I know she mention about making quilts. Anyhow I think it would be beneficial if Liz had something to occupy her mind then her own mind.

Confession time...I am person who can't just set and be so much into my own thoughts, and be trap in my own mind.

Not saying I don't enjoy my own company or love my self. But I sure couldn't have a study diet of my self.

I've known a few people just set for hours and day, over thinking and analogizing every deal of what of might have been or could have been.

I just got the very bottom of my shelf clean out, so I can get moving and working on my pvc pipe paint holders.

Well the shelf above I didn't clean. If I get a chance I will and it shouldn't be all that difficult to do.

In all honest I am not sure how well making a pvc piping paint holders will work.

At this moment I don't see any trouble with this project. But nothing is perfect or fool proof.

If the first shelf goes good. And need more room I do have the option.

Tuesday and Wednesday is my day for sweets. Today I had coffee with Qunella and I had a pumpkin muffin and taffy like sweet.

Coffee is on.

It Not All About Every Thing.

I guess it was maybe a month ago I went to see my primary caregiver and thought I would discuss and ideal weight goal for my self. Well she got her computer I went to BODY MASS INDEX and I understand they need some guide lines.

It was started in 1830. And I hope our knowledge of the human body and all it bells and whistle we have learn the in and out of it.

Right now I stand about 5.5 inches. But when graduated out of high school I stood 5.6 and ¼ inch. As you can see I shrunk 1.25 inches.

I weigh in at about 130 then. Is reasonable or feasible to be my high school weight. My short answer would be “No”

I would classify my bone MED LARGE TO LARGE SMALLI would say my ideal weight would be in 140 range.

She thought 150 would be more ideal.

I know with T.O.P.S I can go back and talk to my doctor and reset a new goal weight.

I was down a pound, by the T.O.P.S scale I weight in at 201.0

By Thanksgiving and Christmas I'm working to get my weight between 195 to 198 and just keep it there.

There a lot of I learn on the way with weight lost. Main thing I learn you need to do it for your self. Class reunions, weddings, summer and winter season comes and goes.

My life isn't going to suddenly become perfect, when I get down to my healthy weight. But sure I will have some basic body and personality flaws

Sure there will be some advantage HEALTHY WEIGHT

I attended a get together and one lady said I was pretty and years ago I would say “Are you blind” this time I said “Thank you”.

I haven't real look for things to take to the thrift store in last few days. But I haven't bought any fabrics either. Or organize any either. I did get ruff estimate of how many feet of PVC piping I will need per shelf to hold my 2oz paint bottle. So for one shelf I will need 7 feet of PVC pipe.

And I estimate I have 300 colors. But let get into the real world for less five minutes.

I would guess 10 to 25% of my paints isn't usable. So they would end up being tossed.

Then how many paints will each of my shelf will hold. Well the answer is 155 bottles per shelf and there two shelves. So if you add 155 and 155 you come up with 310 bottles.

So I will start with one shelf only and see how it goes.

Thought of It.

A few things been on my mind, although not life shattering.

I thought of reducing my calorie intake down by 100. But I thought I need more work on burning calories, more movement.

Last two month my average calorie intake is 1,797

But I do need to be more on the ball when it comes to walking. This is an area I procrastinate.

I did get out this morning and went for walk. I like to get into the habit of walking 3 to 5 times a week.

Got up the nerve to do my measurement. It seem my right side is a little bigger about half inch.

Not sure how often I will be doing my measurements. I believe I should do it before the end of the year again 

Did find an small desk at thrift store. I ask Liz about me bringing a small desk like so I can set up my sewing machine.

Found used one local thrift store. Paid $10 for it.

Hopeful her and I can do some sewing together.

See she just set and thinks. Just setting would drive me up the wall.

Haven't got any fabrics for couple of weeks now. But I do look. It never hurts to look, does it.

Organizing my fabrics the Marie Kona style sure helps you see what you have. Got a long ways to go.

After work I help hubby organize wood in basement. We still need to purchase a cord of firewood. We like larch and or red fir.

Our main heat source is natural gas. But when it super cold a small fire in basement wood stove adds nice touch of comfort.

Sunday Murphy and I are planning to go to Spokane, to see Bart and Molly. Plus the grand daughters.

I want have Bart chop me some pvc piping so I can make some acrylics paint holders.

I would have to do it by hand saw and Bart has a chop saw which would go a lot faster.

I know mention my paints are under the bed in containers. I have a shelf space arrange for the paints.

The containers which hold paints. One will be come a ribbon holder and between fabric and other things. Sure they will be put to go use.

Send in our quarterly tax. The company I work for uses a K1

Oh What Cause It.

Done a little bit of this and that around the place. One thing I haven't done was go and film a little bit of Bonners Ferry, highly doubt I will change

But I have want to put the sunrise Murphy taken

For some reason the washer machine didn't quite worked out right. Murphy thought and said I didn't load the washing machine correct, just toss clothes in.

So I said “Bull shit and I know I loaded the machine correctly” Don't worry I use stronger words then bullshit.

The other day I did my dad zodiac chart, by using CAFE ASTROLOGY. I know were my dad was born, and date, No ideal of time.

But he has very little EARTH SIGN. His moon sign just creeps into Virgo.

As I am no therapist or psychiatrist. But I honestly believe my dad was a functioning alcoholic with bi polar tendencies.

Murphy mowed the lawn, and I weed wack. Did a little bit of organizing of fabrics.

See ironing bothers my upper back, then also my shoulders and neck. The 29^th of this month I see a reconstruction surgery for mammaplasty

There is DIFFERENCE between reconstruction and plastic surgery.

Like I said my bone structure don't fit my boobs.

So I figure I will have to fight with my health insurance. My guess they will call it plastic or cosmetic. But it does have effect on my every day life.

Well we're having salad and I need to help...Just hair over 2,000 calories and plus I will be taken half dozen small items to the thrift store...so now I have 19 more items to go and then I will have taken 80 items to thrift store.

Coffee is on

Was It Just Anther Saturday.

Last night which was Friday. I help Murphy load the trash cans and sometime today he dump them. And put new blade on our lawn mower.

I went down to Courd' Alene to a T.O.P.S fall rally. There usual pretty inspirational. But this one was sort of slow and dull.

I guess weight lost isn't anything all that exciting. Confession time...But when scales come down it a little more exciting.

But they had a excellent singer. Sang song from the 40's, 50's 60's and 70's

What I notice most T.O.P.S members are 55 plus. And there a few who are well into there 90's

Last little bit I want to shout out about T.O.P.S...There were few members who been K.O.P.S for 50 years. Which means they stayed with in there goal lead way. This how K.O.P.S work once you and medical profession usual your primary caregiver will set a goal weight.

If you health weight 140 pounds (example) you can go up 3 pounds and down 7 pounds.

Not sure what I will be doing tomorrow well three things I want to accomplish. Walk down one side of our down town main street and do a you tube video.

Work on my binding on my quilt and continue organizing my blue fabric.

Well they could be more.

In Between When and What

It one of those days about project around the place. When as in time and will it get finished or how much of it.

Then What projects.

I guess this post might be about a general report. I doubt it will be any thing official or even classified.

We are quite happy how the side steps came out. Had a little trouble deciding how to finish off the east side of the steps.

We didn't want anything looking funky or wasn't excepting something that would bring on attack of OCD.

Confession time...At first when hubby told me of this current ideal of using slates. I just couldn't picture it.

I had no better way of doing it.

Statement time...It bothers me when some, mostly candidates bad mouth someone ideal and can't come with a solution.

Plus I had bigger fish to fry. We still need to put a railing on the front porch and hubby want to put it center.

I want it on the left or right side and if he does put it in middle, there will be a fight on scale of 4.8.

Over the years I learn to pick my battles and how much energy and damage I need to cause.

As many of my beauties. Know I went back to doing FITDAY and part of fitday they have “mood” rating. There 7 moods they ask about, or one could call them feelings or emotions.

One of them they ask about hunger. Here are selection one may choose from very hunger, hunger, neutral, satisfied, and very satisfied.

I have none under very hunger and most of time I would say when it comes to hunger I'm satisfied. But this can change in no time at all.

This my average mood above.

Start on putting my blue fabric on boards. Not sure how it will go. I got plenty of blues. Blue is color that speaks to me.

Question time...How or what do you relate blue to? For my self I relate blue to freedom. But also blue can fall under...Blue: Healing, happiness, guidance, truth & religious inspiration.

I know someone who related blue to “coldness”

As I been putting my shorter pieces on the boards, which are the primary colors. And I came up with ideal for quilt. But I want to finish up the binding on the current one. And finish up the trim on apron.

I believe my next quilt will be my oldest grand daughter. The fabric I got a couple of years ago.

During the democrats debate I will work on my binding. And tomorrow I will tell you my three favs from the debate.

And share the photo of sunrise, dear hubby taken. 

Tried some new setting and programs on my camera. I tried to pick the morning dew. Plus been watching the leaves on the tree turn colors.

Now Will I Forget

First before I forget I want to tell you about a fairly good size flock of MOUNTAIN BLUEBIRDS on the way to work, and that first thing I want my reader of my reader to know.

Question time...Have you felt like you forgot something and can't put your finger on it.

My calorie count for the day is at 1,813 and I don't eat after 7pm and I feel like I am starving. Maybe better way to think about this is I am not satisfy. I thought the stuff green peppers which we had for dinner. Thought it would be filling.

I keep mention my addiction to fabrics. Well Regis and I before I went to his appointment. We stop at one local thrift stores.

First thing I do is straight to fabric and they recently got some new ones in. Sort thought them and had small pile line up.

I thought to my self. I got some much fabric at my home, which isn't even organized. And leaving it all there not buying anything.

Regis want to mail his Grandson his birthday card. And I need stamps. So after the post office he went and looked though SELKIRK NORTHERN TREASURES , as I stop in at UNDER THE SUN and I got a  candy bar. Don't worry I put it on my list of foods I eat.

Tuesday and Wednesday is my devilish side when come to eating.

Dozen Vs Baker Dozen

Hubby pulled every thing off top of the hall way closet. We didn't want stuff it falling on the plumber. So it was convenience for me to go though.

Well not going to list the items but I am taking a dozen items to local thrift store. So I had 37 items and now the account is now 25.

Been sewing on binding around my quilt and this is done by hand. I am trying to figure a way to do it by machine. I am doing a lap quilt and would hate to figure the time it would take to do a large quilt.

I also finding threading a needle is becoming more difficult with age. So I am considering purchasing a needle threader and the top one I seen older ladies using. But they now have some pretty fancy ones on market.

Hand binding is sure time consuming. I sure would hate to see how long it would take to finish off binding on king size quilt.

I'm getting my self a BINDING FOOT for my quilt. Although one thing I want to make sure it can handle batting and all.

Weight in at T.O.P.S I lost the most for a week. Down one pound, also won fruit and veggie pack. Calorie count has been good. But so so so on the walking and water take.

Now about the BAKERS DOZEN

Let Me Run It By You

I been declutter by 80 items. Over the weekend I did drop off a pair of slippers that was to small. So my actual count I've gotten rid of 47 items. So the plumber is coming today and yes they can be expensive and so can leaky hot water valve.

So Murphy and I finish cleaning out closet. I have gone though it just recently. But found a few items that went to trash can. I won't count that as my 80 items.

1. A desk stool and that what I will call it
2. coloring book and most page are not colored
3. sack of those spiral bulbs so let me count them as four items
4. sack of dogie balls and let just give them a count of two
5. postal scales.
6. Letter writing box

Nine items are heading out of here. Like I said I was down to 47 items and now we are down to 37 items to go.

Made decision to go back to fitday. For few reason is I know the neighborhood, like the lay out when it come to nutrition, and there is part for mood.

Although I don't consider my self as a moody person and I do have my moods. I know I eat though different emotion like boredom, and FAST COMPANY say there five type of boredom.

Let see I would other emotional I eat under is anxiety, depression and this one I usual like a little chocolate.

Sunday getting my fitbit up going I did 3,449 steps..1.40 miles. I won't say not bad. I did get it going.

One part of fit day and I notice fitness pal has place for your measurement. I know to get your correct measurements it better letting someone else do it.

But this bothers me. To have someone measure me. My husband already know what I look like after 30 plus year of marriage.

Maybe It Two Clock Some Where.

Keep busy all day. Got my car unloaded and I diffidently don't need any more items to wrap fabric with. I know I'm good for a very long time.

So I got all my boards out and decided to finish cleaning it out. I can stop at one of those place that has a vacuum for your car.

I been also watch you tubers, SAFIYA and she did haul and wore FASHION NOVA first of all I never even heard of this company before.

Briefly looking I just don't see my self in any of these clothes.

Confession time...I am little queasy of ordering things of the Internet, mostly clothing.

I did get my fitbit working. Hopeful and hopeful isn't a word I should be using. To motive my self for better health. It for me to do, not someone or something to happen and all this fat will magical dissipate in this air.

I have the challenge when it come to loosing weight...My highest weight let just around up to 225 and doctor gave me goal weight of 150.

So that weight lost of 75 pounds. There been how much weight a person should loose is no more then one pound a week.

As long as I been in T.O.P.S and if I lost half pound a week I should of lost my weight a long time ago. I might sound like I am being hard on my self.

I thought of asking permission on if it offend anyone if I post about my weight lost journey. My thought why am I even asking.

See I don't weigh the 230 pounds anymore. But I been at 202 for sometime now. Since I been in T.O.P.S I haven gotten down to 187.

I was ask what a pagan...well in general terms it someone who isn't one the main stream faith. But to me it someone who worships the earth and can feel it's heart beat and such.

I think this would be neat saying to be place in a home or on t shirt........................

Time At What Rate

Notice a few trees turn to there lovely fall colors, main the maples. It not quite fall season. So I decided to try the “dreamy” phase on my camera.

The other day the farmer was cutting the second cutting a hay behind our place. Most of farmers already been well done with there second cutting.

But at beginning of hay season early summer, he had equipment troubles and put him behind. Hopeful next year it will be better for him.

My stomach for some reason start to give me trouble. I know or I'm 97% sure I didn't have no dairy. So for few days I am going to be a little more on ball of what put in my mouth.

Start to organize my fabrics. Got the smaller reds and yellows done, yard or less. Next one will be the smaller blues.

But before that I need to cut more boards to wrap the fabric on.

Late afternoon our pagan group meant at one of the local drink establishment. Our little group haven't gotten together.

My husband and I will be hosting Mabon anther word fall equinox celebration. Pagan have three harvest celebrations. Mabon is our middle one and Samhain (Halloween) is our last one when we put the earth to rest.

Murphy and I will be doing a turkey and everyone will fill in.

I been during the news putting on the binding on my lap quilt.

Who Laughing At Who.

It been a while since I shared a dream....Stop in where 2 female lived. Although not sure of there relationship. But there political ideals were opposite of each other, one was conservative and the other liberal.

The conservative larger frame had short blond hair with her hair comb back. The liberal had brunette hair although short and with bangs, average built.

The home was of average size, only room I was in were the front (living room) Not much furniture. A beige couch with strips and it had legs on it. One other chair in the living room. The floor was of tile.

The brunette ask me if I heard that Fenway (Boston Red Sock ball park) they were holding circle and ritual. I said “No”

She point it out that United States were 2 years behind lot of Europe.

The blond made statement...She wish those foreign California would go back home” I said like those from Alabama, Arizona, California, Kentucky, and Illinois....There not foreigners there part of the United States.

The Burnett had slight snicker and the blond was getting angry at my statement.

Decide it was time for me to leave. As I got in to yellowish gold pick up and notice there were pile of dog food on tailgate.

As I was getting into the driver seat notice a garage with three white rigs.

The blond was yelling at me and shaking her fist. The Burnett was laughing so hard that she was ground double up.

As I backed out on the driver side (left) was fence with 2 inch squares and passenger side (right) there were fir trees. The road had slight bend to it.

Woke up feeling slightly anxious.

It Could Happen But Not Now

Well I did get my battery for my camera. Suggest I use rechargeable and maybe there better. But in past I would get maybe five photo and less three minutes of video. And there were no use to mouth to mouth with batteries. They were dead.

Today we took a trip to Spokane with hubby, Regis and my self. Well might as well talk about the two place that I give thumbs up.

I took some photo with my smart phone and post one to instagram.

Our first stop was SPIRIT HALLOWEEN it was amazing. Most year we don't get any trick or treaters. But I usual buy a few of the larger bars just in case a little one pop in. Or if I forget usual we have dollar bill around.

I notice lot of people taking photo of the display.

I never bought any thing. A little pricey and I am trying to declutter. And bringing home Halloween items would just add to clutter.

But there time I still dream about making a costumes. Question time what would you like to be for Halloween...Well two things I would like to be is a

Editor Note...If you want to see what I call the creepy doll go to my INSTAGRAM account.

gas pump one of those old ones

Stop light.

Sure not very scary.

Then we went into BOO RADLEYS and once again I got nothing. I was fascinated by there sock collection. Couldn't tell you the price on them.

Regis bought the robot that was on Lost and Space.

Going to Spokane wore me out. And hopeful I can get some photos or load those up I already taken.

I been taking a morning walk between 6:30 and 7:00 in morning. I feel like I am sort of taking over. Last time before restarting I was up to the 5^th power line pole. I decided to start again although not from beginning. I walk to the 3^rd power line pole.

But this morning I only went to the end of road.

Now We Have September

It second day in month, LABOR DAY. I remember when I grew up most families belong to a union. I grew up what I called a solid middle class family.

My dad work for the railroad on the fright train, and was a member of TEAMESTER union.

I have never been a member of union, and when I graduated from high school in 1978 and two year Reagan became president and union start to dissolved.

Idaho is a RIGHT TO WORK

For those who needs to know which is BEST AND WORST state to work in...My home state of Idaho over all score was 45 so there 5 worst state for labor condition . I could think of many ways of improve person care that would benefit the workers and clients both.

1. Finished, well finished wouldn't be the popular term. Let say I got my monthly calendar. Placed in my bullet journal. Haven't put in my new moon goal and total clueless when the new moon is for September.

But I do have my weather part set up for September bullet journal. And my weekly goals first thing is my health goals. I remember when people older then me would say. “If you don't have your health you have nothing”

Not saying I am in bad health.” But I know the over weightiness can complicated things down the road.

So my key ports to focus on is....

1. Is less then 2,100 calories
2. 40 oz of water

3. 7,500 steps
4. No eating after 7 in the evening.

Well my last thing bullet journal I have is Mindful.

Sure there other things in there. But even if I don't do anything or very little my book. I can mark off mindful.

Yesterday, mostly worked on my dresser and lot of little trash item. That got toss. But I did mange find three items to go off to the thrift store.

1. Cloth bag
2. A pair of socks
3. Top

So last count I had 51 pieces to go and minus three leave 48. Well forgot to mention the bag of potpourri. So actual I have 50 pieces to find that can go to the thrift store.

Had every intention to show some photo of my home project. We got the side painted and I'm folding my fabric the KONI MARIE WAY only got small about done. But this way I can see what I have.

Our tub is dripping and it hot water. So part of the day we will be turning off our water. Plumber can't come until next week.

My hubby and I lived with out running water before. But this time we can turn on the water for few hours and take care of items that need water such as laundry, showering, dishes, and basic hygiene.

Put a pitcher of water in fridge. I just trying not to have big electrical bill.

So I believe next time I am down at walmart I will pick up some good batteries these last for quite a while. But in mean time I will get some cheaper ones.

Last little bit I weigh my self and I was at 202.25 and how I seem not to gain or real loose. After my first cup of coffee this morning I went for a walk.
