Crone Cronies - I Try Not to Limit My Madness to March. March 7

Laura S. · 03-07-21, 07:55 AM

The Cronies is a place for women who are mature in age or attitude. The group is highly diverse in that we have ages ranging from 30s to 60s, some are moms, some are single, some are teachers/professors, and some have jobs and work outside the home and some don’t. We do our own thing and are happy when life doesn’t get in the way too often. Some are training for a marathon, some don’t even do vids, you get the picture.

Life and exercise are what we report. A thread is started every Sunday. Some report every day, others whenever they can.

Bottom line: we are a diverse group and very supportive of each other’s goals. Oh, and we’re funny as heck. If you’d like to join us, just come on down.

DH and I both thought the time change was this weekend, but it's next weekend. I'm not sure we were were so sure.

I will pick up an order at Publix this afternoon. Then, early this evening, two kids from the neighborhood will come over and get the futon from my office upstairs. We need to go upstairs and see what else we want them to do before they come. I'll probably work on my craft room some more.

Paula - It's good you had a pleasant day flying. Hopefully, you can get in soon with the hair dresser.

Good morning!

Thanks for getting us started, Laura! Next Sunday is the time change - it's always hard for me with time changes in either direction, but I gotta admit I've been sleepy at about 8 pm now, which will be my 9:00 sleep time in a week. I'm glad Gus isn't an early riser at first sunshine.

Today planning on getting together with a friend to walk Gus. I may also meet with some orchid friends and give them some divisions - taking advantage of a very warm spring day! As the thawing is proceeding I still have some garden beds to de-poop - I've got the lawn cleared. I might make a grocery run also.

Laura, are you removing the futon or having it moved upstairs? I still have one downstairs that I use on a couch - still works and can be a sleeping place in an emergency, but I'll get rid of it in the next move. Is your label maker for the phone using the weird label image that it can read, but you can't? We've got a Nextdoor group, but I haven't heard of the Task Rabbit here. Sounds like your craft room is almost done!

Paula, the VFW fish fry is only on Fridays - maybe next week. I was out of WRC too early to stop by them Friday and too lazy to drive back to them. Other than unpacking your boat of your stuff, I take it you don't have a list of repairs to do on it before sale.

Waves to all (from >6 feet apart)!

Good evening. Workout this morning was a Yin Yoga Super Spine with Travis Eliot followed by a neighborhood walk with DH.

Laura, thank you for getting us started. I try not to limit my madness to March either. Hope all went well with your craft room set up and the kids came for the futon. I am ready for the time change too.

Anita, I'm with you, the time change is always hard on me. I wish CA would choose one and stick with it. But I would like more daylight, so in an odd way I'm looking forward to daylight savings time. De-pooping your yard must take awhile as your winter is so long. We didn't think anything on the boat needed repair - in fact we thought it was in tip top shape. Then DH went to the boat today to clean it and make it look pretty for the buyer today - he started up the engine and of course had engine problems. So it looks as though we may have to do some troubleshooting and repair before we can conclude the sale - darn. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

Good morning!

I need to make a grocery run today - no milk type fluids here, so I'm baking some croissants instead

. Having chocolate croissants makes motivation less urgent!

Otherwise, I will be walking Gus and doing one more area of poop pickup out back. The weather outside has just been fantastic!

I'm looking forward to getting my back porch back from under the melting snow! Yes, I know snows can still come back in March, April, and even May here, but one can still hope to sit out back on the porch! I've got a spades game with friends tonight also.

Paula, I'm hoping the time change is easier in my car - that one is the most frustrating change to come. Sorry you got some boat repairs ahead - hopefully the repairs are minor and won't shut down the proposed sale at this point.

Waves to all (from >6 feet apart)!

Good evening. Workout this morning was Pahla B Body Shaping Day 22 - Strength followed by Tamilee Webb Floor Stretch.

Not much to say about today - putzed around the house. I did get out and get a haircut, thank goodness, I really needed one. DH spent much of the day at the marina with the potential buyers and the broker and said all went well, so making progress there.

Anita, I hope heavy snow is over for you. Summertime dreams of sipping tea on the porch must help get through the winter. At least if the yard melts in stages you don't have to do the poop pick up all at once.

Wonder where Laura is today?
