We didn't notice any issues with the drainage while getting out in the downpour the other night, or on getting home. There is some water that flows along the sidewalk at our driveway and then into the road, but it channels along the curb to a drain vent.
But to be honest, I am not sure if we could have seen how the drainage really looked through that driving rain!
I am sure Jack will be glad to get home. I know I was.0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Getting colder again tonight. I need to take Lilo in for follow up bloodwork. Also, laundry is calling.

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! A bit chilly here, with no chance of precipitation. They may call with the results of Lilo's lab work today. She is in my lap now, rubbing against my wrist and trying to interfere with my typing.
I was a bit busier than expected yesterday.
I realized I needed to pick up a prescription, and some kibble for Lilo.
So after dropping her back at home (and, of course, giving her some treats since we went to the vet) I headed out to PetSmart, where I discovered my prescription for her special food had expired. So I trudged to the back of the store, to the built in vet, where things were running a tad slow and I was standing, waiting, longer than was really comfortable. But, when I finally got to the desk, the nice young lady there quickly issued a new prescription and gave me a $15 off coupon to use on the food. I guess that made it worth the wait.
Walgreen's was the next stop, and I picked up my prescription with no wait. On the way back to the door I grabbed some frozen Mozzarella sticks for J's lunch, and a frozen pizza for dinner, bought those, came home and warmed up some beef and veggie soup for my own lunch.
By the time I got the laundry all done, folded, and put away, I was ready for a nap!

There is an Arby's very conveniently close to us. I don't eat it daily, or even often. I doubt this video will change that at all.

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying (and possibly soggy) Saturday! 80% chance of precipitation in the post meridian hours but not too bad as far as temperature goes. I don't think I need to go anywhere today, though one never knows for sure.
Lilo's bloodwork looked good, according to the call from the vet. I am to keep on with the fluid treatments, of course, as that will continue for the rest of her life. She takes it pretty well, though she does get a bit grumpy. Next week I need to bring Orion back in so they can re-check his ears to see if the drops cleared up the little bit of infection in there. It wasn't much anyway, so it should be fine now.
J has been thoroughly occupied with some work project, and has been up all night in fact, still working on it. Last night I asked, "What do you want for dinner?" and got the response, "Okay."
Me, trying to figure out how to make Okay...
I decided on a hash brown, onion, egg, and cheese concoction and apparently it was Okay. So here is what Okay looks like, if anyone needs to make it.

Hey Ed!
I'm happy to know exactly what 'Okay' looks like when plated! LOL! It did look good. Not quite my food, but I could have most of it, and sub some of it! May make some 'okay' one day!
Got my chores done, except for the hard floors, and it only takes a few minutes to mop them, which I will do when I finish here. Between vacuuming all the carpets, and eating my dinner, I napped, watched a hockey game, (my St. Louis Blues lost
), and have been trying to search for a new toilet. Who would have thought it could be so difficult?
I am looking for a 'tall' potty, one that's 19 inches tall...makes my knees feel much better. Oh, well, will search again another day...too frustrated to look any farther. I have seen one that I want! Its at the Hair Salon that I go to... It's 19 inches, I photographed the mfg, and used that as my starting point after going to Home Depot...They don't have them, nor can/will they order one..
Etc. I'm turning up all sorts of interesting stuff...none that is what I want, or was even part of my search. Some days I just wanna scream.
My tax W2's are beginning to come in. Its that time isn't it?
My Lenten Rose's are almost full bloom. They look so pretty...whites and purples. And the azalea's have not quit blooming since last early spring. Its rather startling to look out and see them in full bloom over the holidays!
I also have a sporadic scattering of daffodils..but not enough to 'crow' about! They'll come, soon. I also need to look for my spring crocus..
Take care, and stay warm on Monday!
Later...

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! Colder today, but no chance of precipitation. I need to get out today or tomorrow to get canned food for Lilo. Probably today, since there is no chance of rain.
Other than that, not a lot on the agenda.

Good Morning Ed!
Still a few clouds around, but I think it may eventually get to be sunny later!!
I didn't get the floors mopped, so that's first up...and then press some tofu and make a scramble later this morning. Also have half a head of cabbage, and cabbage and boiled potatoes sounds good..probably for dinner!
In between, I need to sew a button on more securely on my winter coat! I've only had what?, 10 months or so to do that? 37 outside, and Dark Sky tells me it feels like 28. Well, that sure doesn't make me want to run right out the door! Later today I may stick my head out and go to the gym. Everything else can wait until tomorrow! I ended up doing my 30 minutes of work out yesterday in two sections...did cardio on my recumbent bike during the first hockey break. (they're 18 minutes long), and did weights during the second break! That worked out rather well...
I think I need that second cup of coffee...or maybe green tea?? Probably will opt for the tea..

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! They are doing something just down the street, but not sure if it is more work on the sidewalk project or some kind of utility work. I suspect the former.
Both of us having had the two days of the weekend off, I have given Lilo her Monday fluid treatment, which she took about as graciously as always, grumping about it, and making a few small efforts to leave early, but always settling back down. I pretty much pet her and talk to her throughout the short process. Since starting with the treatments she really seems to feel better, and her appetite has improved. I am glad that, for now anyway, three times a week seems to be working out for her.
I had thought of getting out today for a couple of things I didn't get at the grocery yesterday, but that may depend on how much (and how long) today's work snarls up the traffic on the street. When I looked a bit ago, they had one lane closed off so the road was down to only the one remaining lane, which is always annoying. None of the items are critical so it's not necessary that I get out today.

Well, it turns out it's not utilities OR sidewalk construction out there. They are finally re-paving the segment of road we live on. I am hoping they can get it all done today, while school is out, and I can get out tomorrow without any problems or delays.
New sidewalk...new road...I am going to feel like we moved to a fancier neighborhood!

Hey, it you were able to stay home, indoors, count your blessings! It was COLD out there, even at 1:30 when I went out to the gym...I went to Kroger for my sparkling water...and they didn't have what I wanted.. I still have 2 bottles left, but....no telling when I might find it in stock.
I'm guessing that if not last night, tonite's freezing temps will kill of the blooms of all my azalea's. Going to miss seeing those bushes in full bloom. I need a 'pout meme'!!
Breakfast was a tad weird, but good and tasty..Yesterday I cooked some really old kidney beans, and I also made a tofu scramble. So, this morning I ate my banana and was still quite hungry...I thought 'Burrito' right? Except I discovered I didn't have any tortilla's. Heated a pita, carefully teased it apart so I had a nice pocket...filled it with my good vegan cheddar, the tofu, and beans...delicious, if also odd!
Tonite is going to be my old stand by, boiled cabbage and potatoes. Ted's in the kitchen right now making fried rice with tofu..cauliflower standing in for the rice. He does a good job with that. But my kitchen really doesn't accommodate two cooks...so I told him I'd wait.
I have by far the smallest kitchen I've ever had...and close to 30 years of acquired kitchen 'stuff'...its a single cook kitchen! LOL!!
WOW! New sidewalk, AND new street!! SPLOST money? Or Neighborhood Lottery winnings? LOL!!!
See you tomorrow.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Cold right now, but will be a bit nicer later on. I need to bring Orion to have his ears re-checked today, and for urinalysis as I am pretty sure he left a gift from door #2 on the floor, nowhere near a litter box, yesterday morning. Someone did, and it looked like what he normally does in the box. So he may have been trying to say something.

Good Morning Ed,
Messed up by watching all the video's. Now Ihave noe time to type! Not entirely your fault though!
Off to the gym, and then Publix. Lottery tickets, and vegetables, and some fruit. A 'smart' girl would go to Whole Foods TOMORROW after gym, pick up the vegetables, fruit, and hit the hot bar for fried tofu, and whatever looked good? (Limit of 2 items...or else I get carried away only to pass out at the cost at checkout!) LOL!!"
I'm thinking this after might be a good time to open a base cabinet or maybe even two, and sort them out and give them a good cleaning. ??? Or I could take a nap????
Later...

Disregard my morning post!! Actually just part of it..
I have a morning appointment with Dr.Gibson, my Chiro in Decatur! So, I will be in town, and will make my Whole Foods run there, and 'maybe' Trader Joe's...then I have to drive home, and unload whatever I've purchased, AND then hit the gym....ok, so now I'm tired!! LOL!!

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! Cold as the dickens out there, but should be a bit nicer this afternoon. Other than Lilo's fluid treatment, not a lot on the agenda today. Hopefully a nap this afternoon.

Hi Ed,
Hope you got your nap...missed mine. Heading off very soon to keep my pillow company though!
After seeing chiro, I stopped at Whole Foods for my fried tofu...and you know, you gotta walk thru the entire store (slight exaggeration there) to get to the hot bar...so I also have kale, 3 more Sumo Citrus, and half dozen apples.
Nobody starves around here.
And I did get to the gym too...as in gym or nap...and nap lost!
See you in the morning!

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! A bit nippy out, and not getting too warm today. I have little on the agenda, other than a routine visit with my endocrinologist. I don't expect any surprises there.

Good Morning Ed,
Not pretty, not warm outside. Must be winter. Yuck!
Yesterday's sunshine was wonderful, even though the high temp was only 48 degrees at my house.
Today, gym, gather trash for the curb tonite, and not much more...well, I Could sew that button more securely on my coat...I think that's been on my list for close to a month now....
Watched the extreme $30 for a week, for 6. As she said, extremely short on fresh fruit and veggies. I think a frozen bag of spinach would have come in handy..and, and.... says the lady who has spent a bit over a hundred dollars this week for groceries, and cat food. Enough kibble for 6 weeks. And a splurge here and there, like I love, Black Raspberry Jam, which I found at Whole Foods in the cheese section...but it set me back $8. So it will be a limited treat for my toasts for at least a month. Also I have more than a weeks worth of fresh fruit..apples and those sumo citrus which will keep, and can be eaten out of hand.. and there's a head of broccoli and one of cauliflower, onions, bell peppers, etc...all I can say, is I will eat well for the next 7-10 days!
Well, that was long and boring..sorry Ed!
Time to get my act together and do some morning chores before I head out to the gym. My gym time pays off. Its saving me visits to the chiro and consequently Whole Foods!!! Now, that's a bonus!
Later...0 -
Everything looked good (at the moment, anyway) at the Endocrinologist. We have to wait to see how the blood work looks, and the urinalysis.
Back home and in from the damp, horrid, almost sleet sprinkles, having dropped $84 and change at Aldi on the way home. I didn't even buy the one Aldi specific item I had on the list! LOL! It wasn't critical, so it can wait. I was in there before lunch, always a mistake, but we will eat all the stuff I bought. Some of it may need to be frozen though.

Hey Ed...
On my way to hit the hay, and decided to look in .... Glad I did!
Happy Dance for your trip to the Endo,
$84 at Aldi's should net a nice bunch of groceries!!
Curious about having to wait for your lab work for the Endo...They don't draw that a week ahead? My Primary does that. Mades the office visit go smoothly. My next annual is in Feb, and I love/hate these exams.
I know they have guide lines from Medicare, and that they have to do certain procedures...like weight, check my eye sight..have me remember about 5-6 things they tell me when they ask later in the exam. (aced that one) last year. Etc, and yet the things you would think they'd do, that would make sense...like an EKG, no can't do that with the annual. Have to do that an a different visit sometime throughout the year??? WTH??? Oh,well it is, what it is. Obviously no body asked my opinion!! LOL!!
I'm heading for bed. Tom's fed, box is cleaned, again, dishes are done, etc...I think I will sleep well tonite.

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! Weather looks much the same as yesterday, though a bit on the colder side. It was raining when I arose. Might do a little light house cleaning today. Might not. I do want a nap as I didn't get one yesterday, with all my runnng around.GardenKatGardens wrote: »

I was shopping hungry, always a bad idea, and did get some indulgences...but also some interesting things to try, like some protein wraps (like tortillas, but not) that I want to try for burrito like somethings. Maybe for lunch today. Some canned beans. One can went into J's dinner of chili beans and corn. That is just a drained can of whole corn, mixed with a can of chili beans, and any added seasoning needed to spice it up, along with added bell pepper, jalapeno, and/or onion, if any of that is desired. Several jars of pasta sauce, some pasta, frozen veggies, a can of chili with meat and beans (for me of course), and some shredded cheeses and sliced pepper jack. Indulgences included some very nice specialty cheeses, a roll of braunschweiger, a package of mini naan, two frozen cauliflower crust pizzas (ok, those are not entirely indulgences...they are fairly healthy, though a tad pricy), a large jar of whole cashews with sea salt (also not entirely an indulgence), a can of cocktail peanuts - but darn it, no cocktails to go with them! Of course the peanuts are not entirely an indulgence either as, in moderate amounts, they can be a healthy snack. And some Bada Bean Bada Boom roasted broad bean snacks, another indulgence only because of the price. And I didn't get the box of yellow rice mix I had on the list, though it was really my reason for going to Aldi! Their yellow rice mix is the only one I have found that is vegetarian, as most have chicken in there in some form. Yes, I CAN make my own yellow rice, but that box is so darn convenient. LOL.
My endocrinologist prefers to decide what testing to do AFTER discussing things with me, and reviewing any shared results he might have from the other doctor(s), and in this case, my hospital visit, and, of course, reviewing my glucose and blood pressure statistics for the interval. Then if he has any suggestions or instructions based on the lab work, they get posted, along with all the lab results, to a web portal where I can download them or just peruse them. No paper for the lab results unless I just want to print them.

Morning Ed.
Did a quick read just now...you DID have a great time at Aldi's!
And your doc's method of testing makes sense too. I really only have my primary, and nothing seems to be out of whack, so her way works as well. Only once did I have to go back for a follow up fasting blood something..don't even remember what.
Am racing thru this...excuse the excessive typos, which I am sure are there.
Trying to get to the gym before the rains set in again. I COULD just stay home and do my workout, but...I have more fun at the gym. All my old buddies are there. And there will be weekend plans to share, Super Bowl, Chinese New Year foods, parties, Hockey All Star game, etc....yep, gotta go to the gym!
Later, most likely today!

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! Cool out there and will remain so, but there is supposed to be no chance of precipitation. I don't think there is a lot to do today. Definitely run the dishwasher...

Good morning Ed,
Not tooo bad outside this morning...carpets vacuumed, hard flooring washed...Guess that leaves bathrooms and sewing that button more securely on my navy P coat.
Not feeling particularly 'spry' this morning. My own fault. Woke up and a box of half dozen Krispy Kreme chocolate glazed donuts sitting on top of my lap top. And I ate two of them...and now I feel yucky! Teach me to eat 2.!!
I saw several Emmy video's. Maybe that will help my tummy settle, before lunch.
Ohh, and the donut gift-er, is right now in the kitchen making a pan of Ghirardelli fudgey brownies. I may have to move out of my own house!! LOL!
Two of my orchids are blooming, the rest, save one, have bloom stalks growing. Gonna be a nice window for a couple months!! Its over the sink, so I get to see it a lot!
I'm going to make a bee line into the kitchen while those brownies bake, and roll up a rice and bean burrito with avocado slices, and bell pepper strips, and what ever else is in the refrigerator. Then a nap...and then a trip to the gym. I should go twice today! and tomorrow too I'm afraid.
Yikes...sunshine at my house...well, it was there for a minute. By the time I saw it and got excited...it was gone! LOL!
Hope you have a nice Saturday!

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! It's pretty chilly out there now, but supposed to get up to 53 today. I may pop out to Kroger for a few things.
Appropriately, I made chili yesterday and had that for dinner. And again for breakfast. I have an urge to buy some fat free turkey hot dogs, and low carb, high fiber, whole wheat hot dog buns so I can use some of the remaining leftover chili for chili cheese dogs, a rare pleasure. If I play it right, I can have TWO and still stay within the boundaries for a diabetic meal, barely...no sides, of course. Or I can have one and maybe a small side dish as well.
If I do get out to Kroger today, I will definitely be checking on the availibility of the hot dogs and buns I would need.

Good Morning!
Ted just reminded me it is 11:40, meaning I haven't been to the gym yet, am still in my pj's and robe...etc. I on the other hand view 11:40 on Sunday morning..as a morning well spent! Coffee, banana, reheat coffee, avocado toast, make Jasmine tea, sumo citrus, and finally that one chocolate glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut!
I've gone thru the mailbox, watched some video's, fed cat, and cleaned up after him.
I did slip up and do one of my 'list' items. I checked the furnace filter!! I love those one minute jobs!
The rest of the day will happen after gym and a shower...it will happen no matter what the list says! Its gonna be a laid back day..all day!
How are you and your Fitbit doing? Hope its one of the easy ones to set up...doesn't lessen the shock of learning that for 2 consecutive days your quest for 10,000 steps has been a failure! LOL!! I know I was shocked at how few steps I actually took on an average day at home. I got my first pedometer while I was still employed at the Red Cross...and I logged a whopping 3000+ steps. I thought the little counter thingy was for sure broken...:)
Looks like the rest of the day is going to be overcast...but that's ok. Its not frozen white stuff, so no complaints. (And it was sunny earlier this morning! )
Hope your day goes well...guessing you will be in the kitchen at some point today...Same here!

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! Cool this morning, and will be cool all day, but not too cool for me. I have given Lilo her Monday morning fluid treatment and she has disappeared, but that isn't unusual. Finished off one bag of fluid this morning and prepped the next bag so it will be ready to roll Wednesday afternoon. Despite all the medical things I have to do to her, she still wants my lap and/or to be held by me so it must not be quite as horrible as she makes it out to be while it's happening. I have often wished there were some way to communicate with my cats just enough to let them know why I am doing things. Though I am not sure I'd want to know what they have to say to me all the time!GardenKatGardens wrote: »

I got the Inspire HR and it was pretty easy to set up. I got it so I could always keep an eye on my pulse. It doesn't take much to get mine moving right along! With my knees and right hip, I am basically ignoring what it "wants" me to do, especially as far as steps, and just using it as a bit of a monitor on what I am actually doing. I am in charge here, not the device. LOL. And it's easy to just swing my arm forward and back to trick it into thinking I am taking steps when I am not, so I am, as usual, a bit unimgressed with some of the technoogy. The heart rate monitor is impressive though. If the ones that measured O2 levels weren't so expensive, I wouldn't have minded getting one of those. But my phone can actually do that. It can do my heart rate too, using a finger over the camera for both, but it's not continuous for either one, and a wrist worn device like the FitBit can be.

Hi Ed! (if I said good morning I'm afraid what your fitbit would do!!!) LOL!
I watched Emmy and the boxes of Miami Fruit. That was a hoot..she did have a 'time' with the audio, etc. but she pulled it all together. Next time someone tells me we are on a path of disaster with our banana's...I will have to remember those 2 boxes of very unusual banana's. (though it would take awhile to get another strain or two of banana's up to speed (producing) enough to satisfy the demand....
I need to go clean up the kitchen...tore into a base cabinet, and now instead of having a cabinet of chaos, I have counters from hell!! LOL! Also I made a killer tofu scramble and used it in making a big burrito with canned spicy black beans, cheese, mashed avocado, etc. It was delicious. Wish I had another, but I know I could't eat another whole one...so will have to wait for tomorrow...breakfast maybe????
Also laughed at the guys using the 'Pretentious' ingredients. Would have loved to hear the audio that was cut out...(or maybe not!)
Met all my challenge goals for the day, and that just leaves Tues, Wed, and Thurs and I will have completed the challenge for January! Having Friday left over to not do a darn thing. Except maybe worry about what Feb. will bring! I hate the unknown, so I'm thinking Friday may be marred by fretting about Feb. first, and what it may be!!
As far as 'cheating' the Fitbit by moving your arms and remaining still...hmm. I can do that sorta with the Apple Watch...but the GPS sometimes is sharp enough to know I'm not moving. Ted did the pumping his arm trick while we drove to Hilton Head last year...and the beauty of that was it fooled the GPS, cuz the car was bolting down the interstate!!! I laughed so hard!
See you tomorrow. Earlier than post than today I hope!!

Well, 'scratch' that first 'than' in the last sentence....where the heck is the little box that comes up and lets you edit???? Napping I'll bet. ? ! . 0

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! Looks like it will be a pretty nice day today. I need to get out for some cat food, but that's about all.
Woke up this morning with a carb hangover. That's what I get for taking part in National Chocolate Cake day yesterday. LOL. But it was worth it. The cake was delicious. Now it will be months before I have any of that again.
