Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 19 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 23 and 0% chance of precipitation.
Our pool party group is opening the season today, and I had intended to attend and bring my baked beans, but woke up with a bad cramp in one leg (mostly better now) and just decided not to go. My social anxiety (part of my general anxiety disorder) is cheering me on for that decision, but I would have liked to see my friends. I'll probably see them next time, so it's OK. I keep up with some of them on social media anyway.
The cats let me sleep in until 9:30! As that is their usual breakfast time, enough was enough and I had to get up. They got their breakfast about 10:00. I'm still working on my tea and haven't gotten to my coffee yet.
White turkey hot dogs for breakfast, on expensive keto buns, with a small serving of chips. A banana for breakfast dessert.
As J is off on his short holiday ride (I do not ride a motorcycle) I will need to water all of my plants and all of his today, as well as the container garden, so I have PLENTY to do even without the pool party.

good morning
I water my plants on Saturday too. Did the cleaning I neglected from the day before. Had a pretty quiet day.
It's currently 50F, 10C. Cloudy. Slight chance of a rain shower. High near 75F, 24C. Winds light and variable.
No special plans for today. Enjoy your long holiday weekend. 🌞0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! We have 19 fair degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 26 and 1% chance of precipitation.
It's a good thing I didn't make the baked beans and head to the pool party because I had forgotten that the party is on Monday, the actual holiday. Most of our parties are on Saturday, but as this was a Monday holiday weekend they scheduled it for the Monday. I may or may not go tomorrow. We'll see how I feel in the morning.
I plan a pretty lazy Sunday here. I may go out for Sunday dinner, but probably not. Haven't looked at my work computer all weekend and plan to keep that up until Tuesday morning.

We'll be going to our daughter's house later, she is having her in-laws over. I'm bringing a cheesecake.
Wishing all a good holiday.

Good morning;
I lost my post from yesterday.
Today it will get up to 67F. I have nothing planned for today.
Yesterday hubby and I went for 3.46 mile walk in the park. It was around 5:30 am, so it was nice and quiet. We then went out to breakfast. For lunch we grilled steaks and had those with asparagus and rice pilaf and chocolate mousse for dessert.
Vix-enjoy your time with the in-laws. I hope the rain holds off.
Ed-enjoy your pool party, if you decide to go.
Hi Irene-when will you open the pool?
Have a relaxing day!

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! And it's a day to remember those who gave it all for our freedom.
We have 17 sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 28 and 2% chance of precipitation. Sounds like a lovely day for a pool party, but I have, again, decided not to go. It's a 45 minute or so drive to the venue and, of course, the same to come back home, and I am not feeling like making that drive. I would probably eat too many cookies and snacks anyway, and my glucose has been floating a bit high (not dangerously so) anyway. If J were here, and going, then we could go together and save me the long drive, and I might have more moral support to strengthen my resistance to goodies.
I did have biscuits and gravy for breakfast, to make up for missed cookies. LOL.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have 16 (Celsius) fair degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 27 and 10% chance of precipitation.
Back to work today. I need to start learning how to (temporarily) run the planning meetings and maintain the timelines as our person doing that is moving on to another job. I will try to do that as well as my testing, until we can hire a replacement.
Leftover honey and bourbon barbecue sauced shredded chicken (thighs) sandwich for breakfast. I made that for Sunday dinner and am still working on the leftovers.

good morning
Irene, I guess you've set your pool up. Looks like it will be a good week for it.
Jo, that sounds like a nice walk, and a good day. I like days with nothing planned sometimes. It gives me a chance to catch up with things I've put off, to simply relax, or allows for surprise activities.
Ed, good to get time to relax, and get your glucose down. Best wishes running the planning meetings and maintaining the timelines. That's an important piece.
The party with the in-laws was fun.
Clay crafters today. That gets me up and out.
It's currently 56F, 13C. Mostly sunny, with a high near 77F, 25C. East wind around 10 mph. It looks overcast at the moment. Rained last night.
Wishing all a fine new week.0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 19 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with a cloudy high of 26 expected and 63% chance of precipitation.
I was able to get several testing tickets closed yesterday, but have several more that I need to discuss with the programmer. Things are looking pretty good for the application involved.
Breakfast was scrambled eggs with ham and Cheddar.

Good morning,
Everyone seems to be really busy. We still haven't opened our pool yet waiting for the weather to get a little warmer.
take care0 -
I'm sorry to report that Mike Torre has passed on. I suspect he had been moved to a nursing home or something all this time, and no longer had access to his email.

Good to have a slow day sometimes, Ed.
Hi Irene and Jo.
We went walking in the county park yesterday before it got too hot, about 2-3 miles. That's about my limit for now.
Our housecleaner is coming today. And I think I will get out to Walmart later. I want to get some packable rain ponchos for our trip. Looks like a lot of rain there next week.
Another hot one today. It's currently 56F, 13C. Sunny. High 94F,34C. Winds light and variable.
Wishing all an easy Friday, and a great weekend.0 -
Good morning;
Sorry to hear about Mike's passing.
Currently 68F with a high of 90.
Went to the eye Dr. yesterday for a routine eye exam. My vision can't be corrected any more, so it is time to get Cataract surgery.
Vix-Have a wonderful trip.
Ed-slow days are good sometimes.
Hi Irene.
Grocery shopping and a few other errands today.
Have a great day! 0 -
Good morning,
Ed thank you for letting us know about Mike may he rest in peace .
Vix enjoy your vacation.
Jo good luck with the surgery but I hear its not real hard on your body.
Today Sammie goes to the vet to get her nails trimmed
have a great day0 -
Well, it's Friday evening. I didn't get the slow day I had hoped for, but hopefully we finally found a tricky bug in a program that a client has been using. It would have helped if they had given us ALL the details when they first reported it, but we finally got them today and think we have worked it out. We'll give them a new build Monday (never install updated or new software on a Friday) and see if it recurs.
I have a cottage pie in the oven for tonight's dinner.0 -
good morning
Jo, wishing you a smooth and easy cataract surgery. Is it scheduled soon?
Irene, Sammie keeps you busy. I forgot, what breed of dog is she?
Ed, it's good that you can wait. Sometimes clients don't report all the issues, but rather give them to you in dribs and drabs. It can be frustrating. Glad you have all the details now.
It's currently 69F, 21C. Partly cloudy early followed by scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. High 83F,28C. Winds ENE at 5 to 10 mph. I'm glad it's a bit cooler than yesterday!
Wishing all a great weekend.0 -
Good morning,
Our weather yesterday was 90 it sure was warm but today it is in the 60s.We haven't opened our pool in till it stays warm.
When we were at the vet yesterday she gave us new meds for Sammie 's anxiety hope it works we also ordered a thunder shirt we hate to see her shake hoping some of this stuff works what is nice is the new meds will work fast the meds takes hours to kick in.
Vix she is a short hair Germain pointer0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 24 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 31 (HOT) and no chance of precipitation.
Some friends are having a garden party tonight in midtown, so I may go. If I do I'm only expected to bring an adult beverage. We'll see how the pollen count is. Lately I step outside for just a moment, to get the mail or water the container garden, and have a sneezing fit shortly thereafter.
The cottage pie was tasty, and I had more of it for breakfast.

Good morning'
It is currently 49F with a high of 53. We had rain off and on all day yesterday. Today it is cloudy and windy.
Irene-I hope the thunder shirt and new meds help Sammie.
Ed-Did you go to the garden party?
Vix-I will probably have the cataract surgery in the fall.
I have a few plants to put in the ground today and will probably just putter around the rest of the day.
Have a relaxing Sunday.

good morning
Irene, that's a nice looking dog. I'm sorry she has anxiety problems, but hope the new meds work better for her.
Ed, cottage pie sounds like a nice one dish meal. I hope the pollen count allows you to attend the party.
Jo, I hope you're enjoying the weekend.
It's currently 59F, 15C. Mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 74F, 23C. North wind 5 to 10 mph. I'm glad it's still a bit cooler. Not really ready for the 90sF/30sC!
Looks like a good outdoors day here.
Wishing all a pleasant Sunday.

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
We have 22 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected high of 27 and 55% chance of afternoon/evening thundershowers.
I did not go to the garden party, and felt good about not going, despite it meaning not seeing some old friends and missing out on JJ's delicious chocolate chip cookies that are ALWAYS present at their parties.
I may just do some laundry today. Or I may not. But I probably will. I'm sure Dinah will be glad to help.

We have 17 (Celsius) fair degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 29 and 24% chance of precipitation.
I got the laundry washed and dried but it's still waiting in the dryer to be folded. Dinah helped with loading the washer, but she was disappointed because she thought I was already at the FUN part, folding warm clothes. Maybe today.
Back to work first.
