Good Morning!
Dampish, but still quite comfortable outside with my buddy Tom E. Tom E's hind quarters and tail were/are more wet than damp. Sometime thru the night I was blessed with 0.48 inches of rain, and Dark Sky promises another 2tenths sometime today. That would be ever so sweet! Oh, and don't fret about Tom E. being wet...there is a whole screened in porch, the swing, which has his towel, and his sleep mat on it (And Mr. Snuffles who he still manages to ignore). So its not like he has nowhere else to go, ya know!!
Today is off to the gym, and then Walmart to stock up on cat food. I looked at my 'list', and I can actually get the onion, saltine crackers, and a big jug of good old chlorine bleach. Sweet...no running hither and yon collecting various items.
Yesterday's potato soup was pretty good, but today's version will be even better with some broth sautéed celery! I swear last week when I made Colcannon I only ate it twice, maybe three times if I also used it in another dish...but this batch seems to have a lock on procreation!! I'm sure today will be the last batch!!!
I'm guessing Ed, that you are wise to just plan to stay home and enjoy your nap. I didn't sleep very well either last night. So I need to work a nap in and be awake at 4p to spend time with Jack via phone. Did I tell you I found him an edger for his lawn? His old one died, and I spotted what I thought was an edger on my way home from the gym! Took it to him Sunday. We talked about went wrong with the one he had.........
Fingers crossed this used one lasts a long time!
Ok, Gotta go before the mid morning rain comes..
Later...

Howdy. It's wonderful Wednesday! Heating up some today, with no chance of precipitation. I don't think I HAVE to get out anywhere today, so hopefully can do as little as possible.

Good Morning Ed!
Watched several of the video's. Name of the game today is Keto!!!
Slow starter today has morphed into Turtle gear based on the automobiles standard transmission shifter! I am so into Slow Turtle this morning.
Started on the wrong foot. Last night Apple updated its Watch, and all went well. I checked this morning to be sure the update was complete. Didn't take very long at all to see that my watch was not behaving correctly....
It would only record the times I stood and 'moved' for a minute. No calories were being burned, no steps counted, and of course no exercise was happening. Finally had to call Ted. (he loves it...ha?) Got it worked out. I just couldn't for the life of me remember how to restart the Watch. So, he told me, and of course teased me a good bit!
Yesterday's trip out was not what I'd expected or planned exactly! Gym went well, and headed for Walmart (2ish miles). Got the cat's food, gallon of bleach, one onion, and one sweet potato...stood in checkout line. Ah Ha, my turn...half way thru ringing up my piddly little items...EVERYBODY was told to exit the store Stat! So, no panic etc. everybody just normally walked to the exit door..where they were encouraging us to move it along...no our cars were to close to the store so we couldn't sit in them...walked out of the parking lot, by then I'd picked up a 'buddy', she and I were discussing why???? We heard fire, gas leak, etc. as we were being herded out...then it was several other things people were guessing. Fire trucks, rescue trucks, cops of every ilk...and the rain started. I walked back, got my car and drove it back to where my new friend was, and we sat there talking about pets, and racoons and possums, and how her 6 month old Dobbie brought a tiny kitten home...'look mom what followed me home' kinda thing. Anyway we passed about 45 minutes, and we were told we could return...luckily my cashier got to where we were ringing up my purchases...and other than having to rescan everything, all was well. Turned out there was an electrical issue, and everyone was being. And then on the news a Walmart north of ATL had a guy threatening to blow the whole store up...It was a bad day for Walmart I guess...
So, today I am going to the gym, stopping at Publix to get a lottery ticket. Hopefully that is ALL i need to do while out.
Enjoy your day...and if it stays overcast as it is, it will probably be a good nap day!

Howdy. It's thrilling Thursday! And it's going to be another hot one, with no chance of rain. We'll be heading to downtown Atlanta tonight to get started with this year's DragonCon. My "attendance" here may be spotty, through Monday, or may just be a quick, daily wave. I always get plenty of walking exercise during the convention, but the odd angles of some of the sidewalks and the hilly streets are really hard on knees and hips. I will be bringing a cane. Maybe the one that has a fold out seat.
By the way, I have been continuing Roger's funny pictures in his separately started thread at:

And...all checked in at DragonCon, in our hotel room, and we had dinner at a big diner here in downtown. Cooling down now, and will likely go to bed in a bit.0

Howdy from beautiful downtown Burbank...er, I mean Atlanta! It's fantastic Friday! Expecting a hot, clear day.0

Good Morning Ed...hope Dragon Con is shaping up to be a really fun weekend event!
Not much happening here today...gym...and I think I'll reverse the process, and go to Whole Foods, (heirloom tomatoes on sale, and Honeydew on sale as well. Of course, you know I have to get at least 2 meals worth of chicken Fried Tofu while I'm there. ! Then I'll drop off my groceries and hit the gym! Let you know how this works!
Have watched walnuts become beef...(I've done this before, but walnuts and mushrooms/or walnuts with lentils. Both work)...and the cookie dough now, that was a hoot! I think I'll pass on that one!
Thanks for the link to the cartoon NS page. Very, very nice of you to pick up that thread for everyone.
2 weeks since Ted's mowed, and rain! He'll be here sometime over the weekend. Said he'd let me know when. I suspect I'll hear from him sometime today.

I'm sitting here watching news footage of the 33rd Dragon Con! Looks like great fun! You and Jason have a great time!

Howdy. It's satisfactory Saturday! Another hot one looming, with no chance of rain. I am definitely getting the walking in this weekend.

Hi Ed!
Yesterday turned out to be a 'different' day...in that it was not what I'd planned.
Went to Whole Foods, came home and by then it was 2p. and I was hungry, so I fixed a lunch, then I was sleepy...ok, nap, then gym. Woke to the strangest noise. Sounded like Tom E was having a block party on my roof!!!
Peeked out side, quickly..recognized the truck in my driveway...it was Antonio! He was here to replace the gutters after I'd sent him the video of the last daytime rain we had with water pouring over, and under, etc my gutters. I sent the video to Antonio with a message saying I've put this off too long....fix it for me? So he came by, measured guttering, and he said he'd get me a price the next day...my response? Just surprise me! I mean, what was the point. Had to be done........
So, Poor Tom E was frantic. Strangers, in the yard, on HIS roof, etc. I rescued him, and spent the next several hours holding a freaked out cat!
Never did get to the gym! Guess I'd best be going there today, right? Can't let you get all the exercise for the weekend! LOL!!
Have another great day at Dragon Con, and I'll see you,

Good Morning you ole Dragon! (better to be a dragon than a 'con'!)
Today looks like a pretty good day. Upper 80's late day, but starting in the 60's is always good!
Ted on his way out to cut the grass, and ???? I never know what little 'project' he may also have in mind! LOL! I'm just grateful for the help. Actually I could do it...I just can't start the lawn mower. It has an electric starter, and the battery is apparently dead, and I can't even come close to pulling the cord. Must have one of the stiffest compression of any mower I've ever owned. (not that I'm not getting older, and not nearly as strong as I was even 10 years ago......
Hope you enjoy your day. Is this the last day of Dragon Con? No it is not! I looked it up! LOL!
Enjoy!

Happy September Sunday! Still at the con. Not much to say about that today but that the downtown mall food court is pandemonium!

Back home from DragonCon. I will post a few pictures later. I think I'll take a nap.

I just finished eating my lunch, and also think that a nap is a great idea!
See you after a few zzzzzz's. I know the pix will be fantastic!0 -
Good morning!
Looks to be a nice day, although quite warm, still. In another couple weeks we should be clear of the 90's!
I woke about 5:30 and sleep didn't seem to be an available option, so.... I'm about to finish my coffee, have eaten my breakfast, so it on with this day!!!
Not much on my 'list'..I did laundry yesterday, cooked myself a rather blah dinner, listenend to several pod casts and a docuseries or 2. Got roped into one that irritated me. Brain Health, started well, and about 20 minutes into the hour turned into a infomercial for a vitamin supplement. I was not happy. If you're selling something I'm not your kid! Tell me science, now what you manufacture and sell under the guise of health.
Off to fb, hope to see some DC pix?!!!?

Howdy. It's terrific Tuesday! Need to give Lilo her Tuesday shot (and the subsequent REQUIRED treats) and need to feed the cats. I also need to get more 1 ml syringes with needles as I will be using the last one on her today, so a trip to the vet is in order before next Tuesday. And I need to feed the brats...er CATS. We have out of town company (old friends) who fly back home tonight. They were at DragonCon but didn't need to stay downtown for last night, so stayed with us and we will be dropping them at the Marta station tonight so they can fly back to their waiting cats.
I will eventually get to posting the few con pics I took.

Howdy. It's wonderful Wednesday! Another hot one, and no chance of rain. I didn't take many pictures at DragonCon, as it was just too peopley for my social anxiety (part of general anxiety disorder in my case) and, while I did have my tranquilizers with me I prefer to only use them for more...real?...situations, and depend more on just my daily "let's not go bats*** crazy today" pill, as the tranquilizers can be addictive, and are not really intended, in my case anyway, for several times a day, general use. I can go for weeks without needing any, and then might need to take one or two in a day, in very stressful situations. Sometimes if it's not too bad, just knowing that I have them available can get me through slightly less major situations, without actually having to take one.
So... DragonCon. I DID see Elvis!

Howdy. It's thrilling Thursday! Another hot one here with no chance of rain. I need to get out for some blood drawing and lab work, so it's off to the vampires just before lunch. I might pick up a grocery item or two, and maybe lunch, while out.

Hey Ed!
I want a NAP. But it will have to wait. First I need to get to the gym.
Spent the morning in Costco, Thought of Roger a few times. He'd have pulled his hair out! There was 2 groups of people with a 'person' giving them shopping tips...at least one of those groups was a local school small group...they had workbooks. AND that wasn't enough, right. A whole caravaan of SUV's picking up enough food to feed Cox's Army! I don't know what the event was going to be, and I didn't stop and stare, but there was a huge pallet of raw Broccoli in cartons. So just getting into the store was a bit of a hassle! Roger would have HATED it.
So, home, most everything put away... and I've eaten some lunch. So, all excuses aside, I now HAVE TO go that one mile to the gym. (I tried using the exercise part of my Apple Watch to record my shopping as 'exercise'.) That didn't work. It did count my steps, but it would have done that without me messing with the exercise part.. Well, I tried, right?
See you tomorrow for coffee...lunch if you'd like.
Later...

I love Emmy! She really had a good time with the Pasta maker!!! That girl is a nut...a wonderful nut at that!
See you in the morning!

Howdy. It's fabulous Friday! I don't have a lot on the agenda, but may pick up a few grocery items I didn't stop for yesterday. Conveniently, I can combine that with coffee/lunch(?) since I will be out anyway! I put your card in the van so I CAN NOT forget it.

Good Plan Ed.
I've got the cooler in the kitchen waiting for the lemons and the frozen dodads to keep them cool...Still have to pick the basil.
Oh, and get dressed. I went to the gym this morning. Those clothes and the other dark stuff in the washer.

Howdy. It's sweltering Saturday! I might need to get out for a bit on this hot morning, but not for much.

Howdy. It's sumptuous Sunday! Another hot one here, with no chance of precipitation. Fortunately, I DID get out yesterday and made multiple stops.
I hit PetSmart for cat food and litter, the vet for 1 ml syringes, with attached needles, for Lilo's Tuesday torture...er I mean tiny little shot (but you wouldn't think it from her), Kroger, for a few grocery items, and Taco Bell for a light, late, vegetarian lunch for J. I had already eaten. As I was bringing in groceries, the mail arrived. I couldn't have timed it better if I tried!
Of course the ever changing grocery list has grown a couple of items since I got home, but nothing that will force me to go out for it today.
