Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Another warm one predicted, with 60% chance of PM thunderstorms. I may be able to squeeze a walk in. We will see...
Otherwise nothing major on the agenda. I don't think that turkey will be thawed enough tonight. If it is, I might cook it tonight but it is more likely to make it to the table Wednesday night.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! It's a lot cooler here today, with no chance of precipitaiton. I walked first thing, to enjoy the brisk air and avoid some of the sunlight. My fingers were a little stiff when I got back, but I started my tea right away and made breakfast and they warmed back up pretty quickly.
No big agenda today. Maybe a little light housework. And Eduardo is going to do something with that turkey breast roast today.

Eduardo cooked the turkey breast today, smothered in onion soup mix. It came out very tender and moist, just the way I like it! I couldn't find the green peas that I think I have in the freezer, but they may be buried deeply in there. So I settled on just turkey and taters, with gravy.
Here's how it looked when I started it in a Crock Pot. The onions got tender and very darkly caramelized when it was done.
And here was my dinner plate. Yes, I like a lot of pepper on my food.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! I am going to try to hit senior hour at Kroget this morning for a few things.

So how was Kroger today? I gave it some thought when I woke at 6...but couldn't muster enough energy to roll out of bed!! Needless to say nothing 'critical' on my list!
I was really glad I went to Kroger. It wasn't very busy at all, and I was the first customer in the door, though followed shortly thereafter by severan others. I found everything I wanted, and grabbed a couple of things I hadn't put on the list, though I did want them. I got reminded when seeing them. At least you can get beans and rice now, though the rice shelf didn't have a lot on it. I was out of Kroger and driving home at 7:26.
Later, on my walk, I took a mask in my jacket pocket, and went through Publix for just a few things. Particularly a dozen jumbo eggs, since I had really wanted to get two dozen at Kroger, but they had a limit of one. So at Publix I got eggs, and some shredded mild Cheddar, frozen peas, since I did a thorough search of the deep freeze after Kroger and still didn't find the package I thought I had in there. I may remember eating it ... maybe when I made that meatloaf last month.
And J was looking for chocolate last night so I also grabbed a family size bag of miniature Reese's cups, and a small bag of Hershey Miniatures, featuring Special Dark as part of the mix. If J is lucky, he MAY get to eat a Special Dark or two... LOL. At least with bite size, portion control is easier. We can get just a little taste of chocolate without opening a big bar and then eating the whole thing.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! It is supposed to rain later, so I need to get on out there for my walk, as soon as I finish this mug of tea. I will want the rest when I get back, as it's a bit chilly out there!

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! It's a good thing I have my computer and phone to remind me what day it is because they are all running together lately.
It's cold and sunny out, and should remain cool today. It was 41 when I got up (a bit later than usual) and is 43 now. I think I'll let it get a tad warmer before I walk. And I will enjoy my hot tea in the interval.
Maybe a little house work and laundry today.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! And it's *KITTEN* cold out there! I think a day off from walking would be a splendid idea. I have a bit of sunburn anyway from the accumulated walks and yesterday's somewhat late walk, with the sun coming down from nearer to straight above with less atmosphere to filter the UV.
But I DID find a new route that bypasses some construction constriction where they were tearing up the sidewalks. There is a breakdown lane I can walk in there but I am not really crazy about that idea, and it is going to turn into a turning lane eventually for the gas station they are building. So finding a way to bypass that and actually find a decent amount of shade along the way was good.
Not a lot on the agenda today. Maybe some light housework.

Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! It's quite chilly right now, but the sun should warm things up quickly, and it should reach about 66 today. I will take a walk shortly. Right now I need to finish this mug of tea. Breakfast was leftover legume based rotini and meat sauce. I made a good bit for last night's dinner and baked some of it, layered with Mozzarella, for a hearty dinner. The one on the right had meat sauce and the one on the left had no meat, but a bit of extra cheese, for J's protein.
Almost finished with my tea, so I'll be heading out.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! I have already walked and am typing with somewhat frigid fingers. Orion is keeping my lap warm.
I gave Lilo her shot while she was licking the paper plate I had my steak and eggs on, and she barely noticed.
Not a lot on the agenda today. I need to warm up my fingers enough to feed the cats. Maybe wrapping them around this mug of hot tea will help.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! A bit chilly now, but it should get nicely warm later. I will walk when I finisd this mug of tea, and have the rest on my return.
The next time I get to the grocery, maybe I will look for some ham...for sandwiches.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! I just got back from my walk and still warming up. Not a lot on the agenda today. We had fried rice for supper so that will be lunch too.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! I may walk later, may not. We'll see. Just got back from sitting in the Vet's parking lot while they checked Lilo for a UTI and gave her a shot. After I feed the cats, I may take a walk but it might be about time for a day off anyway. I'll decide in a while.
I will need to get to the grocery soon, probably this weekend, by Monday at the latest. Nothing has gone critically low yet but you know how things creep in that direction!

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! Pretty warm today and I would even venture to say a bit hot this afternoon, according to the forecast. My "walk" today was through Kroger and then back and forth to bring groceries in and put them away. I have alread lost track of how many times I washed my hands this morning.
I pretty much blew the grocery budget for the rest of the month. I have about 20 to 21 dollars left in that account. But on the plus side, I did actually find everything I needed and could have even picked up paper towels and/or toilet paper if needed, as they actually had some available. Not a lot, and not necessarily the brand I usually buy, but who can be picky nowadays? But since I didn't need any, I left those to more needy customers. The $20 or so still in the account probably would have covered those, with maybe a few cents to spare. LOL.
Not a lot on the agenda for today, other than, if I remember to do it, putting some washer fluid in my car. I remember, when I start it and it dings at me, and then think to mysely that I should do that when I get home, but then there are groceries to put away, hands to be washed, cats to be fed, prior day's cat bowls to wash...so I tend to forget.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! It's pretty nice out for the moment, so a walk is in order shortly. I had a couple of beef brats, boiled eggs, and whole wheat, high fiber, low carb, buttered bread for breakfast. Just need to finish this mug of tea and I'll be off.
One of J's aunts passed away suddenly (they think heart attack) Friday and the family is in an uproar. J wants to help calm my father in law, and could do that better in person, but we both fear the danger of going up there to Kentucky right now. I am sure we will talk more about that later today but I am standing firm that it would be a bad idea to go. In any case, I would not be going, as one of us has to stay here with the pets.
The sugar gliders are doing well and seem happy together for the most part. We would not have them if J hadn't insisted on rescuing Bonnid and Clyde several years ago, and when Bonnie died suddenly we felt Clyde would do better with another companion. Luckily, Remus was in a kind of bad situation and feels like another rescue too. I think that sugar gliders should never have been made into pets, but we will take care of these. They would not survive returned to the wild.
Out to walk!

Well, my walk this morning was very nice. I took a couple of side paths and saw some geese and ducks in a pond, and found another shady path or two. I ended up going a bit over 4 miles. On FaceBook you can see bloomers AND wildlife from this walk, on separate posts.
For dinner I made some barbecue sauced chicken thighs, yellow rice, peas and carrots, and chili beans.
I gave J most of the yellow rice and all of the chili beans, for a tasty vegetarian dinner. I split the rest of the food into two meal plates, each having one large chicken thigh, a nice serving of peas and carrots, and a small serving of yellow rice, as it was the bad carb.
Here is the dinner plate I ate.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous moist Monday! I just got back from my walk, as it is supposed to get rainy later in the day, but with the chances for rain starting to get a let greater late this morning, and then on into the afternoon. So I gave Lilo her Monday morning fluid treatment, inhaled breakfast (ham, boiled eggs, toast) with a mug of tea and headed on out. It's pretty humid out there from overnight rain.
Maybe some light housework today. I will probably eat my other chicken thigh for lunch, though I may change my mind and save it for supper.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! I did my walk first thing, in the cool, damp air. Today I walked the length of the nearby lake (it's not a big lake) just to see where that walkway ended. I had to pass a family of Canadian geese (stealing jobs from local geese? - LOL) twice, as they were on the walkway past the lake.
I don't know what else I will do today, but a nap would be nice. They were doing some noisy construction or destruction up the hill yesterday and a nap would have been impossible. Kiara was all oun of sorts over it, and the thunderstorms later in the evening didn't help her get sorted!

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful wet Wednesday! Cool and damp right now, and I heard a raindrop hit while I was eating my breakfast. I will take a (probably needed anyway) day off from walking.
Perhaps a bit of light housework today instead.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! I've had my walk, and then got distracted by a FaceBook glitch and trying to fix it. I really suspect it is a problem with their new format, which I am trying. I may have to go back to classic format and see if the glitch still happens.
Not a lot on the agenda today.

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! It's cool and rainy now, but I did get my walk in before the rain, so it's all good.
I came home and saw that they have started working to increase the drainage under the road at the creek, which should mean that, once that bit is done, they should be able to finally fill in that blasted ditch across the front of our yard and install proper conduit for drainage through our yard. I am SO glad I complained to the mayor when they installed that ditch.
One of the sidewalk work monitoring people claimed that they would have had to fix it anyway because of similar complaints along a nearby road, but I know that the squeaky wheel gets grease and have my doubts about that. I rather suspect that if I and my next door neighbor hadn't started making noise about it the enormous eyesore of a ditch, full of sharp rocks, would have been a permament part of our front yards.
Not a lot on the agenda today. Depending on the noise level from the construction, a nap may not be possible unless I can find my earplugs.
No big plans for Memorial Day here. Maybe slow cook a couple of chicken thighs and make a small amount of pulled chicken for barbecue.

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfactory Saturday! It was very nice out, while I did my walk past the lake this morning. There were even a few men fishing, and I saw a young man exercising on a dock across the lake. His physique looked, shall we say, SLIGHTLY better than mine...at least. I saw 3 families of Canadian geese at the lake, and two more families a mile or so away from the lake, near home.
Not a lot an the agenda today. I got back from the lake right at 8:00 and they had alread resumed construction work out front.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! I think instead of a walk, I think I am going to try to hit Kroger at 8:00, with the hope that everyone else is either still asleep or getting ready for church at that early hour.
Housework on the agenda today.

Howdy y'all. It's magnificent Monday! We have a 50% chance of PM thunderstorms, with a high of 84. Not a lot on the agenda today, and I am taking another day off from walking. Breafast was scrambled eggs with cheese, and low carb, high fiber toast.
