Hi Ed,
I'm hoping to get outside this afternoon before the rain. I also need to peruse a couple of the rubber maid tubs to find some short pants! (that fit). I may not have any...talk about incentive to make friends with my fork and scale!
Right now though I'm heading for the kitchen and a nice tomato sandwich. Very lite on the mayo, with a really nice thick slab of tomato. Let summer begin!

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! The work out in front is still going on, but I'm OK with that. I'd rather they take their time and do it right than have to come back and tear it all up yet again.
I have walked, and I have given Lilo her shot. Breakfast for the cats shortly.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful wet Wednesday! I did walk, about 4 miles, and was hoping to beat the rain but some sprinkles and then light rain caught me at about the midpoint, so I got a little damp. It didn't last long, but I was still damp when I got home.
The weather channel page had said 10% chance at my start time of 6:45 and projected 15% at 8:00 when I expected to (and did) get home. It also said "Rain possible at 10:45am."
I hate to bust their bubble but rain was definitely possible before that time and it is wet out there now, as rain has occurred in the interval since I got home too. And it's only about 9:00. LOL.
The construction continues. Over half the ditch is now filled in and I expect we will have a mud strip in a few days, where the ditch is/was. I hope they put sod down. The sidewalk project just put straw down and the seeds from that do NOT grow the same as grass.
Not a lot on the agenda today.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!! A bit too wet out there to take a walk, so I will have a day off. I could probably use one.
I guess we'll hear the sounds of construction all day again.
Lunch will be chicken fried rice, heavy on the chicken, somewhat light on the rice. Leftover from last night.Fried by a real chicken?
Not a lot on the agenda today.

Hey Ed!
Yep, it looks to be another 'drippy' kinda day. This is when I really value my gym membership!
Had a nice visit and great adjustment yesterday at my Chiro. She said she'd see me in a month. Fine by me!
I've gotten thru most of my emails, so thought I'd say Hello before I make my oatmeal, etc. And then off to the gym, and later I need to clear off, or at least toss a few more things in my closet, as tonite is 'Herbie to the Curb'. Don't know why I put this off til Thursdays...like I've know ALL WEEK that Thursday was coming! LOL.
I stopped by Whole Foods in Midtown yesterday after Chiro, basically to pick up some radishes that had green tops..and not the ones in poly bags. Well, surprise, and a very pleasant one, the have 'sorta' on a limited basis, converted the Hot and cold bars into a cafeteria like area. You go thru the line and tell the ladies what you want. And they had CHICKEN FRIED TOFU!!! I was no doubt the happiest person in WF. Got a double order of them! Ate half of them while I drove home, and the other half of my double order for dinner last night. Made my day!!
And in today's edition of the Free Online AJC I learned the Cuban Sandwich Shop is open on Buford Highway Chamblee/Buckhead area. That was Jack's fav. place to pick up a sandwich, etc. He worked not far from there, and when I moved to ATL it was on my way to work at ARC...then sadly it burned. Anyway, after being OTP for awhile, its back. Not much I can eat there...Cuban's eat a LOT of meat! But, I hope to be able to take Jack there for Father's Day, (or the Sat. before, as its not open on Sundays)...and I 'might' give up veganism for one meal to have the plate that includes rice and beans, and to have at least a bite of flan. I'll have to wrestle with to eat, or not to eat the tamale on that plate!
Did I tell you about my trip to Publix Tuesday, and the kid with the mask? (employee no less).
Ok, gotta run...breakfast is calling. Joints need to me moved, and hopefully a quick convo with an old friend or two. ( so far most of them have not returned to the gym yet.)
Chubs here has lost a pound. Lotta work to lose one measly pound...but...the alternative is not clothes to wear. OMG!

There is a bit more work to finish where the creek enters the drain, and there is definitely some clean up to do, but for the most part we have our lawn back.
As Elton John might sing:
DITCH, DITCH. THE DITCH IS GONE.
Or perhaps munchkins singing:
DING DONG, THE DITCH IS GONE!

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday! I have done my walk, and came home to find that my little devils...er I mean my beloved cats had pulled down the window shelf in the kitchen, scattering plants and dirt.
Since J maintains that, and is the only one who could be sure of getting it put back together in the desired manner, I just passed word on (waking J up for it) and waited to do the final cleanup of dirt and leaf debris, off the counters, in the sinks, and on the floor, after it was all put back in place.
So I have walked AND done some houswork already today. They are busy working outside on whatever is left to do on the drainage. I am not sure how much longer they wll be working, but they will have to repair the road and repair/replace some sidewalks before it's all over.
Not a lot on the agenda for the rest of the day. I think I hear breakfast calling.

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! I had my walk, and a light breakfast. It's about time to feed the cats. A little light housework and laundry today on the agenda. And a nap if I can manage that.

Hey Ed
Laundry, cleaning, and napping has happened here too!..I sat outside for about an hour to get some vitamin D action going. And Ted and I watched the launch of the spaceship on its way to the Space Station. Nasa will broadcast apparently all night and it should dock tomorrow morning at 10 something. Don't remember just 10 what. Guess I'll need to look that up. It should coincide nicely with my breakfast.
I have a little more to do exercise wise, and it will be my 5th day for calories, movement, and of course the easy one...standing up 12 times during the day. I'll be happy with 5 of 7 days.
Is the shelf arranging cat out of jail yet?? LOL! They can be destructive little furry things! Tom E sat outside with me for awhile this afternoon. He didn't want to be held...just near by. He's funny. Spending most of his time outdoors now. Either on the roof, or, lately he's picked several places in the back yard to nap. Glad to see him come off that roof even if just part time.
Guess I need to be looking around in the refrigerator for something that resembles dinner. I have a couple vegetables that need to be steamed, I think I'll add a veg. burger and call it a day. Had a very big vegetable sandwich for lunch. It was delicious. I'm finding those make a nice lunch and I end up with about 2 cups of cold raw veggies..not to shabby eh?
Your yard fix is going to be great once its all seeded, and the new sidewalk repaired. SO, are you going to get a skate board and put the sidewalk to good use??? LOL!!
Have a great evening..
Later...

Good Morning Ed!
Poked my head in early, and I think you may still be out walking! It is lovely outside this morning, so I hope you're enjoying you walk!
Ted has run to Publix...i dunno why, he said something about needing a couple small things he forgot? It better not look like a box of donuts!
Not sure what I'll get into today. I have choices! LOL!
My little tomatoes are looking good. I just have to hope the squirrels don't find them. Jack and Jenn have pretty much given up on having tomatoes. I'm guessing if Ted keeps feeding the fluffy tailed rats, and I will not have tomatoes either!
Hope you have a good day!

Oh, PS, its cupcakes. Chocolate chocolate chip. I don't have a chance...0

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! It's a lovely morning. I walked about 4 miles, and included the lake in my walk because it's serene and quiet on Sunday mornings. The other days, the construction on a building near the path takes away from some of the serenity.
Not a lot on the agenda today but I really should sweep a few floors at least.
Cupcakes are small, sometimes...

Glad you had a good walk. Cupcakes were very very BIG. And yes I ate a whole one...but have no intention of eating another. Love darn little Ted!!! LOL!!!
TIme to fix some dinner...looks like spinach, sweet potato, spiced lentils...and an apple for dessert. (quick to fix!)0 -
Howdy all y'all. I wanted to walk this morning, as it is a beautiful day, but I may decide that my $200+ trip to Kroger, and the susequent traipsing back and forth to bring in the groceries and put them away, is enough exercise for today. Some of the groceries were reasonably heavy.
I got everything I needed for at least a couple of weeks, and a month or more on some items, so I guess I earned my "hazardous pay" today. Everyone I saw at the store was wearing a mask. Maybe people are starting to be more responsible about the health of those around them.
Not a lot else on the agenda today.

Good Morning Ed
Looks like you got your month off to a good start!! You know, there are checkers and baggers, groceries can be delivered to your door. BUT that's where the buck stops. I'd (on some days) pay a goodly amount of cash for somebody to put the damn things away!!!!!) That's where the real work comes in!
I'm seeing my fat little body heading for the gym shortly, and expecting a miracle, i.e. walking out trim and thin. I mean its the beginning of a new month, and beginning of the second half of the year...surely there's a lonely old miracle hanging out somewhere????
I'm going to finish the laundry I began, and I've started running the wine glasses, hi ball glasses, etc...(barware)thru the dishwasher, so that needs to be continued. Ted looked at me like I was nuts when I started carrying barware glasses into the kitchen. I 'splained to him that it was a bi-annual job, and that for various reasons, it didn't happen at all last year...we are talking dusty bar ware!
Ummm, what other irons do I have in the fire today....??
Oh, I think I finally located the big storage tub that has summer clothes, summer clothes that fit even! So there's that....
Gotta change direction in my thinking or I'll just go back to bed, pull the covers over my head and say censored words. LOL!!!
Have a great day my friend,
Later...0
