I find it hard to believe that my little granddaughter is 9 today. It doesn't seem possible. Then I'm having a hard time that my baby boy is 37 1/2. LOL It was so weird to see her with her friends. Sitting there with her friends laughing and giggling.
Off to run errands -
a return at Kohl's and look at thanksgiving towels
mail stuff at post office
return at walmart and look at day planners
return at lane bryant
return at dicks
Then I need to decorate some for halloween.

No news
It's been a week since I wrote. Never was very good at keeping a diary. But then I don't have much to write about.
Last week was fun, went to the doctors last Tuesday (10/8) and only lost another pound. But my A1C went down to 5.9 and she was very happy with that. Need to buckle down on my weight lost effort. I'm good during the day, but dinner is a challenge.
Then on the way home from the doctors I was rear ended. Luckily I hit someone from Young's Auto body - she was very nice and didn't deny it was all her fault. Couldn't open the back hatch, so I got a rent a car right away. A 2017 ford escape. It's nice. Received the estimate this morning a forwarded it to Rick at Pennington's, I'm pretty sure he is not going to be happy with it.
Then on Thursday, I discovered my capital one card had been hacked. They were very nice and reversed the charges and issued me a new card. Hoefully it'll how up today or tomorrow.
I have quilting this afternoon and I'm going to bring my new machine, Since Deby has a bernina, I figured she can help me out with it.

rainy day
It's a rainy day here. Don't know if I'll go out. I have to check the weather, I had hoped to take the girls to Highland orchard tomorrow to get pumpkins...but if it's going to be rainy, we won't be going. I do have some returns to make and we can run to a couple of stores. Just to get out of the house. Just looked at the weather map - rain tomorrow. It'll be a long day. But we'll be fine.
When I looked at the map it said it should starting raining here at 367 Bristol Circle in 24 minutes. LOL
Going up to take my shower, then do some cleaning and organizing. I really don't know what I did when I worked. I'm not working and find a million things to do and never quit get the all done. Had wanted to have my basement organized by now but that's not done. I always find other things to do. But I'm on a mission to get it done and organized.
Also have a ton of finishing to do. Got to get started,

New sewing machine
Well, I took my sewing machine up to Hinkletown to get serviced. That's where Deby said I should take my machine. She has a problem with Hayes - don't know why. They have always been nice to me.
We went up on Tuesday and of course I say lets look at the refurbished ones. But they were all over $1,000. So as I'm at the counter giving my name to the guy for my machine, she sees on and says - this is a good deal. It was a Bernina - which I have wanted especially since I've been sewing on Deby's. It was a B330 - originally costing $1399 on sale for $699. She said it was a good deal and right away the guy is over there putting fabric on it and telling me to try it. It was so nice. But I'm thinking - I'm not working should I really be spending 700 on a sewing machine...but I really want it. I asked Deby what she thought and she said it was a good deal. I decided to buy it. If I really have buyers remorse, I have up to 3 months to return it. I didn't take the trade in, it was only $70 - but I regretted trading in my Kenmore when I got the elna - so I kept it. This way, I can take my old machine to Judy's. Told Kay we could do some finishing. And they offer 3-1 hour classes to learn your machine. My first class is Wednesday. I need to unbox my machine. I'm kinda scared but I have to do it. Maybe this afternoon.
And the funny thing is Ann brought the same machine, last week too. I haven't talk to her as much. Use to call her on my way to work or on my way home. I miss that. Going to have to make a better effort. But then, she's not calling me either.
I also brought the fabric to make Sarah's sorority t-shirt quilt. Decided to go with blue and then use a orange for the binding. I know her sorority colors are red & green, but thought I'd tie in to Syracuse with the blue/orange. I hope she likes it.
Decided I'm just giving the kids - Jimmy/Mary & Sarah money for Xmas. Going to do like Daddy did for them. Not as much, but I know they'll miss getting that money. It was always like a nice bonus. I'll still get the girls presents. Have to think about it.

Wednesday
Going for that creative title.
Well, I did get up and go to the gym. I've said before since I've not been working that I was going to go more than 1 day in a row and always talk myself out of it. But I it today. Main reason is I'm getting weighed next week. I go for blood work on Friday. November 28 is a year on this journey of change.
Saw Deb and Kim at NHA yesterday. I stopped in because Deby and I were on the way to the fabric store. We went to drop my sewing machine to get serviced and I ended up buying a new machine...oh no. I keep thinking I should return it - it was $700 but then I think I want this machine. I've wanted a bernina for years. And Deby said this was a great deal. The full price would have been $1400. I think I'll unpack it today.
I started stitching on my piece for Cape May. and I want to start November. I have to finish and put out the October one. Maybe this afternoon.

It's October
I can't believe it's October 2 - and I've been not working for 4 1/2 months and Daddy's been gone 4 months. As much as I'd rather have him with me (us), it's because he is gone that I don't have to worry about going back to work. I really don't want to go back to work, at least not in an office. I can't stand the thought of that. Being in an office. I'm really thinking of going to Wegmans. Ran into an old cheerleading Mom and she's worked there almost 2 years and she doesn't work evenings or weekends. Which is what I'd want. I'm waiting until my unemployment runs out. I've paid into it all these years - I should at least collect it.
It is cool out today and I think I'm going to have to put on a pair of jeans. I'm not worried because I weigh less than I did in May when was the last time I wore jeans. It's so much harder - I've been cheating or eating wrong things. Sometimes I have no will power. I just keep thinking of Daddy and how proud he was of me. Get weighed next Tuesday. I'm going to go to the gym Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday and then again on Saturday/Sunday/Monday. I get blood work on Friday. I hate always watching what I eat but since I let myself get this way I have no one to blame. I'm hoping I'm in the 100's.
