Good Morning..
Late morning!!
I've been busy making nice with a cat...trying to track down the correct filters for my under the sink water filter, yadda yadda..
Oh, those brownies!! I have all the ingredients. But first 'breakfast'!!! LOL! I'm also behind on my Emmy Videos.
I think I may just surprise myself and go to the gym today.?!!? (usually I just stay home on Saturday and do my recumbent bike, and a video of the exercise ilk!
Nice little rain yesterday evening...0.41 inches. And if Dark Sky weather app is correct I can expect a bit more, maybe. 30-33% chance after dark tonite. Sometimes those rains never happen.
I have a chore list for today.. I cannot find it, pity!!! LOL!

Howdy. It's sumptuous Sunday! Significantly cooler today, with 30% chance of AM showers. I can definitely go with that forecast! I think I will get out to the store today.

Good Sunday Morning!
It really IS nice outside this morning! I don't think we will break the 80 degree mark today!! Wooza. Tomorrow, and then Monday is back to the 'oven' we go! Makes this all the sweeter!
I found an edger yesterday at a garage sale in my neighborhood, on my way home from the gym! Bought it for Jack, as his died. So hopefully he'll come pick it up, although I was/am fully prepared (except for stopping for gasoline) to drive to Sugar Hill GA and deliver said edger!
Also trying to catch up on a docuseries about the Brain-Gut connection. It's interesting. One of the speakers last night went so far as to not only explain how brain and gut communicate, but to also name some foods that could be helpful. The speakers are short, like about 30 minutes, (as opposed to the one I signed up for , with 2 hour lectures! Skip that one). LOL!
I just may go out and do a bit of yard work later today...sorta have my hopes set on something that resembles a nap.
Now, to go watch you're video selection for the day........

Howdy. It's marvelous Monday! Still cooler here (relatively speaking anyway) with 40% chance of rain. I got some of the groceries yesterday, including some hard to find vegetarian "oyster" sauce at an international market. I had been putting off going to that market because it is always WAY too peoply and I did get a headache while in there. There was one other item I never did find but I gave up, bought what I had in the cart, and puttered on to the Aldi near our home, where I picked up most of the rest of what was needed. If I go today, it will be either a short trip to the nearby Publix or, perhaps, a somewhat longer one to Ingles, or the even longer trek to Kroger. Or I may just stay home and wait until tomorrow.
I have already had to clear a clog in the air conditioner drain this morning. I believe they deliberately put extra sideways bends in the route from the AC to the main drain, just to make it difficult for the home owner to work on that without the $180 service call. I always pay close attention to what any repair people do in our home.
And the poor, STARVING, cats need to be fed soon. LOL.
But first, another mug of tea.

Slow starter this morning!
HI Ed!!
Whoops, Watch says I need to stand up and move for 1 minute. Is OK since I need to get some more water...
Back in 60ish seconds.
Time to hit the shower, (can you believe..11a.m. and I've still not done that??) Some minor cooking for lunch...Salad is made, but I have this big beautiful plantain that I intend to bake...In the toaster oven. (Enjoyed that video!), and I am going to 'wing' making a weird soup...I have about 2 cups of left over from Saturday Colcannon...I ate some Fri. and Sat just as a main dish...so, I think I'll grab my box of unsweetened Almond Milk and make a thick creamy potato soup, with bits of cabbage in it?? It will taste good, even if it is a bit ?odd? LOL!!
Then off to the gym, and home to get a little work done, and a peek at fb. Though I should keep fb to entertain me while I watch the news tonite at 6.
Hope your day goes exactly as you'd like it to go. How's that for an open ended invite to do nothing?!!!

Howdy. It's terrific Tuesday! Still a bit on the cooler side but creeping upwards again. I think I can stay home today and, hopefully, get a nice nap. Woke up around 2:00 with an awful headache and feeling all sweaty. Might have had a bit of a sugar crash. At any rate, I took two extra strength acetaminophen caplets and managed to get back to sleep, after noticing and cleaning up a small CATastrophe in the bathroom, by virtue of seeing Kiara as she attempted to bury it. Not really a big deal, as Lilo, the oldest (at 16 1/2) does have occasional accidents, but rather annoying at that hour of the morning. Kudos to Kiara I guess since she helpfully alerted me to it, though I would have noticed it eventually this morning anyway.

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
