Hello Sue! ~  Gotta love those taxes! Fortunately we don't pay as much as a lot of other countries do. I spoke with a lady who was sitting at my table yesterday and her son (who lives overseas) pay's over 50% of what he makes in taxes!! The event was interesting but there wasn't much that I didn't already know. I was pretty far advanced over most in the room. I need some deeper help with resume writing, etc. I was hoping for more information on that.

I have been at this weight loss for over 8 months! The health issues I experienced last year with the migraines and then the separation of my employment through me into a depression and I ate a lot towards the end of the year and just didn't care. I was up to my highest weight and was miserable (and depressed). I decided that 2019 was going to be a happier and better year for me. I have several goals and have managed to conquer 2 of the major goals - I have been migraine free since April, not even needing any abortive medication. I'm not sure if I told you my backstory or not. I wrote to Sheryl (aka DogLover in the game) about this last month since she has headaches/migraines in her avatar a lot. If I didn't tell you about it, you could go over to her wall and read it there. The second goal was to lose weight. I went on Nutrisystem because my Dad had sucess with it. I've lost all of what I gained last year and am back to the weight when I went back to work in 2017 (which, wasn't ideal and is why I want to lose more). Another goal was to get my license renewed and I have done that. So the continued weight loss along with finding the right job are two of my other major goals. I would like to have 20-30 more pounds off before March of next year. Ultimately I would like to lose about 100 pounds and I would be at a comfortable weight range and within my BMI. It seems to be getting more difficult and I need to think of way to change things up. Mom and I went out yesterday and had a good balanced dinner, but we had too much ice cream. She wanted another scoop and I told her we didn't need the extra scoop (I feel like I've turned into the Mom now days - lol). They also catered in Chick-Fil-A yesterday and I had some of that as well. I don't think I was out of line, I just think eating lunch and dinner out in the same day didn't help. I got on the scale and I'm up another pound - that puts me up a total of 3 pounds. So, I'm afraid this month will be a net zero for me. I told Mom this afternoon that with the exception of our weekend coming up on the 20th, I need to toe the line very closely if I'm to feel happier about this month. She agrees and wants to lose 10 pounds as well. Why is it that some people can eat anything and not gain a pound and other people just look at food and it sticks right to their body?

A kitten might be a good thing for your daughter given the loss of some of her chickens. My niece got a kitten earlier this summer. It is gray and white and she named it Jasper. Will it be an indoor or oudoor cat? How do you think Daisy will like it? She might want to be a little Mama to it or else she will be jealous. One of the two or even both. We have had dogs and cats together before and it works out just fine. They seem to find a common ground. I'm headed into the game and would like to get this event finished tonight. I still need a few more passes and will obtain those when I get my 20 black pearls. See you in Darkwood! ~  Llyssa
