Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! It's a nice day outside. I meant to post earlier but got busy with work. I started early because I had to pop out for a bit to get some blood drawn.
Nothing else on the critical agenda today!

Good afternoon;
My shoulder is feeling better, but I have a note to stay out of work until Monday. I have a chiro appt. tomorrow and one on Friday. Friday he will re-evaluate me and hopefully start me on an exercise program to strengthen my shoulder muscles.
Have a good evening. 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! It's currently 19 (67 F) clear degrees out there. We are expecting a high of ## (79 F) under cloudy skies with a 57% chance of rain. I expect the lawn guys this morning.

Good morning.
Jo, glad your shoulder is feeling better, that you have some exercises to keep it well, and you're off til Monday.
Ed, sounds like you're enjoying working again.
Hi to Irene, Jan, and Val.
I'm going to relax a bit after yesterday, a day of trying to right some wrongs. We had a credit card stolen last week and luckily the bank contacted us immediately and we stopped the card, but it's going to take them a while to fix everything. They sent us a new card, and we called yesterday, but I think we'll hold off on activating it, until the problems with the old one are resolved. We had ordered some furniture on the old card and it's supposed to be delivered Saturday, so we were trying to contact the store to change it, but the way it's set up, they will probably have it declined and then contact us. Stupid. Also the contractor came by to see the glass shower door was installed a bit off, so they'll have to come back and fix that.
It's a new day. Hopefullly no mess to deal with today.
It's currently 68F, a mix of clouds and sun. High 88F. Probably some rain this evening. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.
The weeks are going by so quickly. Wednesday already! Have a good one.

good morning, wow vix sorry you are going threw this do you know who stole your credit card? hopefully they get it straighten out soon. Jo hope your shoulder is doing better. Hi Ed has any one heard from Jan lately?0

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! Right now we have 19 degrees (66 F) and light rain under cloudy skies. We expect a high of only 22 (72 F) with cloudy skies prevailing and a 65% chance of rain all day and into the night.
I woke up early, so will likely start work early. The employers aren't terribly picky about the EXACT hours we work, as long as the work gets done and I put in the hours. Since I (and J) have a tendency to keep working if we have something unfinished, that is definitely not a problem.
Nothing critical on the home front. I put some stew beef in a mushroom and onion gravy in a Crock Pot that should be ready by lunchtime. That should suffice for lunch and dinner, and perhaps one more meal. We will see.
So far I have kept the weight off that I lost during that nearly two week bout of gastroenteritis. I wasn't eating much during that period and have been keeping my meals smaller, for the most part. I feel like I am getting enough to eat, so I will keep on keeping on with this. This weekend's final pool party of the season may be a challenge for my will on keeping the food intake light, but, as it IS the last one for this year, I should be OK even if I do indulge just a bit more than I should. But I will try to stay strong!
Breakfast was two pork sausage links and a cup of oatmeal with blueberries.

Good morning.
Thanks, Irene. I think the credit card thing is just part of life at this point, bound to happen. We didn't physically lose the card, the numbers were just stolen somewhere. Thank goodness the banks keep on top of it, and the fraud claim was filed quickly.
Ed, the stew sounds yummy. Good for you for keeping the weight off.
The part came in to fix our AC, so they're supposed to be here this morning.
It's currently 66F, cloudy skies this morning followed by scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon. High near 80F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.
I'll probably stop by the library to exchange books when it opens this morning.
It's Thursday! Getting closer to weekend!
Stay healthy, everyone. Hugs.0 -
good morning, Vix thank goodness your bank caught it . well getting ready to go food shopping take care0

Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! We have 21 (70 F) under cloudy skies right now with an expected high of 27 (80 F) and 19% chance of rain.
Nothing critical on today's agenda at home.

Good morning.
Our A/C got new coils yesterday, so it should be good for several more years.
I picked up a couple of books at the library.
Lots of t-storms last night. It's currently 69F, cloudy this morning with showers during the afternoon. High 79F. Winds light and variable.
Will see what today brings.
It's Friday. Happy Weekend, everyone.0 -

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We currently have 21(71 F) cloudy degrees with an expected high of 28 (82 F), also under cloudy skies. We have a 36% chance of rain and one weather thingy says that could include thunderstorms, but the weather service page does not indicate thunder, just possible rain.
Today is supposed to be the last pool party of the season for our group. I have not started the baked beans as yet, but need to get them in the oven shortly.
I have some laundry to fold and put away on the home front.

Good morning,
Enjoy the party, Ed.
Good job on getting your flu shots, Irene.
They fixed the shower door yesterday, except for one piece of plastic stopper that needed to be shaved down a little to fit right, supposed to be back today with that.
Our new sectional sofa is arriving this morning.
And we have toddler soccer to watch!
Hopefully the timing will work out to do all that.
It's currently 69F, sun and clouds mixed. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High near 85F. Winds light and variable.
Happy Saturday, everyone.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! It's currently 21 (70 F) cloudy degrees. We have an expected high of 26 (79 F), with cloudy skies and a 76% chance of rain. The highest rain chance is in the middle to late afternoon, but there will still be a pretty good chance of rain throughout the night.
Our nephew (my sister in law's son) got married yesterday, but J was up there for a couple of weeks. J caught a cold about a week before the wedding (tested negative for Covid - twice) but was feeling a lot better by the wedding date. I did not go. I could have, but...
It was a very small wedding, as a lot of the bride's family really doesn't get along. They decided just three guests for the bride and three for the groom. For the groom then, it was J, my sister in law and the groom's father. For the bride it was, a bit surprising to me, the groom's grandmother (on his father's side) and a couple of close friends. Apparently the bride's family was shut out entirely! They must REALLY not get along.
I need to get J's laundry started.

Good morning.
Ed, cute cat pic. Sometimes families don't get along. It's sad. Congratulations to your nephew.
Irene, my arm was sore for a few days after the flu shot, but totally worth the protection. Important to take care of ourselves. I had to set up an appt for a skin check. I didn't realize there's such a long wait for a dermatologist.
Our new couch is set up, our bathroom shower door is all fixed, so the house is set for a while. Yay!
Toddler soccer was fun yesterday, as always.
It's currently 67F, plentiful sunshine. High near 80F. Winds light and variable.
Have a good Sunday, everyone.

Good morning;
Ed-If you weather was anything like ours it was a great day for a pool party.
Irene-Good that you got your flu shot, we will be getting ours soon.
Vix-Lots of new stuff for you, enjoy. I can just picture toddler soccer, how fun.
We went apple picking yesterday, picked 1/2 bushel, just over 21 lbs. It was a beautiful day and we found a new restaurant for lunch, with outdoor seating in a beautiful garden setting.
I am off to the Chiro this morning and then the dentist. Chiro said I could go back to work on light duty, I am just waiting to hear from my work if they will approve it. If not,I will probably be out another week. I almost have full range of motion in my shoulder. I still have pain if I try to reach behind my back, but it is slowly getting better day by day.
Have a great week! 0 -
Good morning.
Jo, what a fun day, apple picking and finding a new restaurant. I'm glad your shoulder is getting better, enjoy your time off if you get it! Good luck with the chiro and dentist.
The weather was beautiful again yesterday, and spent some time reading on the deck. Also spent some time arranging and reorganizing some things around the house, there's plenty of that to do.
It's currently 59F, sun and clouds mixed. High 77F. Winds ESE at 5 to 10 mph.
Another new week, heading into Autumn! Time is flying by!0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! I was up by about your posting time Joanne, but was still prowling around slowly in the kitchen, getting my breakfast ready. We currently have 22 (## F) degrees and rain. We're expecting a high of only 24 today with scattered rain showers pretty much all day, with mostly cloudy skies.
Breakfast this morning was a two 100% whole grain Kodiak brand waffles, toasted up nicely, and then made into a sausage, egg, cheese sandwich. A nice, filling breakfast that really satisfied me. This was my first time trying their waffles, though I have been eating the pancakes, at least once a week and sometimes twice, for several months now. I definitely approve of the waffles!
In "olden" days I would probably have eaten a nice serving of some kind of fried potatoes with the breakfast sandwich, but the waffles provided plenty of carbohydrate calories to my meal.
I still need to fold the laundry from yesterday and put it away.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! We currently have 21 (70 F) cloudy degrees out there with an expected high of 25 (76 F) under mostly cloudy skied with 36% chance of rain that could possibly include some thundershowers.
Not a lot on the home agenda today, but the dishwasher is running now, and I have some new sheets that just may fall into the washing machine at some point soon. I bought several sets from different companies. One is made of one of the new bamboo blends. I was interested in how those would feel as compared to flannel or linen. As far as just touching them with my fingers, they don't really feel much different, at all, from linen. But the real test will be using them to sleep.
Anyway, time to get ready for work.
Oh, breakfast this morning was:

Good morning.
Your breakfast looks delicious, Ed. I've been wondering about those bamboo sheets, let me know how they are when you use them. I mostly go with cotton, but I have 1 set in microfiber.
It's my daughter's birthday today, so I'll stop by later.
My house cleaner is coming today, nice.
It's currently 71F, showers and thunderstorms today. High 74F. Winds SSE at 10 to 20 mph.

Good morning.
It's been pouring rain all night, we're under a flood warning, but our street looks ok.
I visited with my daughter and granddaughter yesterday. It was so nice, and I got to hold the baby for a while. She's so tiny and perfect.
I also gave away some of my larger house plants. They started to take up too much room in the house. Neighbors stopped by and picked them up.
It's currently 60F and still raining. A mix of sun and clouds is expected by afternoon. High around 70F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
Wishing everyone a good day.0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It's quite cool out there now, under clear skies, and we are expecting a lovely, sunny Autumn day.
I got all the new sheets out of the dryer and folded this morning. The bamboo blend sheets feel very soft and should be lovely to sleep on. They say they are a bamboo blend. I understand they make rayon from bamboo, and I believe it said the blend was 60 percent bamboo rayon, and the rest polyester, but I could be mistaken. If that's right, I believe it is the softest blend I have ever felt that had polyester in it.
I would love to try some 100% bamboo sheets, but they are very pricy so that will have to wait until some wealthy relative endows me, or I win a lottery I didn't enter. LOL.

Good morning;
Ed-I like cotton sheets. There is nothing like getting into bed with crisp cool sheets on it.
Vix-Happy birthday to your daughter. How does your grandson like his new sister?
I have been to the dentist this morning and had 2 old fillings replaced. I have to go back next month for a deep cleaning. I went back to work yesterday on light duty. I can't lift anything over 3 lbs. My shoulder is slowly getting better. I now have almost full range of motion.
Even when I am off light duty, I plan to take it easy and not lift anything too heavy.
Have a good day! 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! We currently have 10 (50 F) sunny degrees with an expected high of 24 (75 F) under still sunny skies, and only a 2% chance of rain.
Nothing critical on the home front today. Maybe we'll get pizza tonight to celebrate making it through another work week.

Good morning.
Thanks, Jo. My grandson is adjusting well. I think he likes being a big brother.
It's good to get old fillings replaced, especially the silver ones (they have mercury in them). I did that several years back. It's good that work has put you on light duty, and it's important to be careful with your shoulder, glad it is getting back to normal.
Ed, about the same weather here.
Currently 55F, partly cloudy skies. High 71F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
I need to pick up a few things, and bake an angel food cake tonight (new recipe for me). We're going to celebrate my daughter's birthday with the family tomorrow.
Happy Friday, everyone.0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sensational Saturday! It's currently 11 clear degrees out there with an expected high of 25 under mostly sunny skies, with a 4% chance of rain.
Nothing critical on the home front today.
I did put a set of bamboo blend sheets on our bed last night. They have a soft, luxurious feel. I like the feel, but have not yet heard J's opinion. J tends to prefer flannel, and that is nice. Especially in winter when you really want a warm fuzzy feeling. In the non-winter months I think I prefer something with a cooler feel.
My tea mug is empty so I guess I am done here.
