    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday!

    We have 22 (Celsius) degrees and a thunderstorm, with an expected overcast high of 32 and 100% chance of precipitation that could include more thunderstorms.

    More testing, as always, to do at work.

    good morning
    Ed, glad you had a nice lunch celebration. Hope you're ok through the storms.
    Jo, 4 miles is a nice long walk, and it's nice getting out early before the heat. I'm sticking with my 1 mile for now, my leg joints are a little wonky, maybe I can do more later.
    Irene, hope you're looking forward to getting your foot fixed up.
    We had a nice dinner out with our son and daughter-in-law last night. They are so sweet, it's wonderful spending time with them.
    No special plans for today, may go to Frederick later.
    It's currently 71F,22C. Sun and clouds mixed. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 88F, 31C. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph.
    Wishing all an easy Friday. ๐ŸŒค๏ธ๐ŸŒป

    Good morning;
    Ed-Sorry about Buttons. That was very nice of the owner of the restaurant to give you cake and appetizers on the house.
    Vix-Today I walked a little over 3 miles. My hip has been giving me some problems, so I walk until it starts to hurt.
    Currently 27F, cloudy and a nice breeze.
    I went grocery shopping and to the library this morning, so now I have books to read this weekend.
    Have a good day! :)

    good morning
    Jo, it's good to keep walking. I hope your hip starts to feel better.
    We went to the organic food store yesterday. Bought some coffee, gluten free pasta, popcorn, etc. They have a nice bulk section. Also went and played with the little ones for a while.
    It's currently 66F, 19C, which made for a pleasant walk. Forecast for sunshine and clouds mixed. High near 85F, 29C. Winds light and variable. Looks like a hot week coming up with temps all in the 90sF, 30sC.
    No special plans for today. There are books waiting for me at the library, but I have enough to read for the weekend. Also need to buy a baby gift sometime this week. Will see what the day brings.
    Wishing all a happy, fun weekend. ๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒป

    Good morning;
    Currently 73F with a high of 86F.
    I decided to skip my morning walk. Instead I washed my car and cleaned one of the bird bath fountains.
    Nothing else on the agenda for today, but I am sure I will find something to do. I like to keep busy, it keeps me out of trouble. o:)
    Ed-Enjoy the pool party.
    Vi-I spent most of yesterday sitting on the deck enjoying my yard and reading.
    Hi Irene.
    Have a relaxing day! :)

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!

    We have 28 (Celsius) sunny degrees (feels like 30) with an expected mostly sunny high of 30 and 2% chance of precipitation.

    I did not go to the pool party, but J did and said it was nice.

    Not a lot on the required agenda, but I do have some laundry that needs to be folded and put away.

    The cats let me sleep in until 9:00 this morning.

    good morning
    Jo, you do keep busy! ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm sure your walk alternative was just as much, if not more, exercise. I seem to keep busy too, the days just rush by.
    Ed, nice to sleep in sometimes. I've been getting up early to get out for my walk before it heats up.
    Irene, I guess the pool is keeping you nice and cool!
    It's currently 72F, 22C. Partly cloudy early followed by scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. Gusty winds and small hail are possible. High 84F, 29C. Winds S at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

    Good Monday morning,
    nothing really planned for today I will do a load of wash and the pool later trying to get in as much pool as I can because the DR already told me no walking or pool time . I think i will miss the walking more than anything else.
    hope everyone has a great day.

    Good evening;
    Currently 83F and sunny.
    We had a meeting to set up a trust. It seems pretty easy and straight forward.
    I did housework and ran a few errands and of course read my book.
    Irene-how long will your recovery be after the surgery? I know you will miss your walks.
    Vix-I missed my walk today. I will have to make up for it tomorrow.
    Ed-Do your other cats realize that Buttons is no longer with them?
    Enjoy your evening. :)

    Ed-Do your other cats realize that Buttons is no longer with them?

    I don't think it has fully sunk in yet with them that she's gone, but they are getting there.

    Buttons kind of monopolized J and had pretty much taken over his office as mostly her space. Kiara is glad to got more of J again, as he is HER favorite person, but she didn't try to compete with Buttons, the interloper. Kiara is the biggest cat here, but is not at all assertive with the others.

    Kiara and Buttons did sometimes play, but there was always a wariness about it.

    Buttons and Dinah got along well enough, but Buttons and Orion did not like each other. They were still learning to live relatively peacefully together, and I'm sure that would have all worked out over a bit more time, had she not developed the cancer. Orion is probably the one LEAST sure she's gone, but he'll get back to normal soon.

    None of the other cats were really close with Buttons.

    good morninga
    Irene, glad you are getting your pool time in and are able to use the stationary bike. I'm sure you'll be very happy to get back to walking after recovery.
    Jo, I guess it's good to get things set up. We had a meeting to set up our medical directives last week, and made sure our cars and bank accounts have beneficiaries listed. You sure do a lot of physical activity. That's wonderful for your health. I missed my walk yesterday too.
    Ed, I guess Dinah likes you the best! Always helping with the laundry. :)
    I got a late start yesterday. Stayed up late the night before, so I didn't get up until 7:30, and had to get to my morning stained glass session. I was so tired after spending the whole day working on stained glass and clay, that I didn't get back on my computer last night. We stopped by to see the little ones for a little while, which was wonderful, but I realized just how tired I was!
    Got up early again this a.m. so I could get my little walk in before the heat.
    It's currently 76F, 24C. Plentiful sunshine. Hot. High 93F, 34C. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph.
    I have an acupuncture appt this morning and some errands to run.
    Wishing all a happy ๐Ÿซday.

    Good afternoon,
    Currently 85F with a high of 89F. We are in for a hot spell in the 90's for the next few days.
    I went and got my hair cut and colored this morning, dropped a box off at goodwill and picked up bread.
    Vix-we have an appointment with the estate planner next Friday to set up a trust and update our wills and health care proxies.
    Ed-good luck on your project.

    Jo, it's good you're getting that done early. We kind of dragged our heels on getting those things set up.
    I touched up my hair color last week, am starting to think about letting it go gray. Not quite ready, chose a light ash brown for next time.
    Hi, Ed and Irene.
    It's currently 79F,26C. Partly cloudy early followed by scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. Potential for severe thunderstorms. High 96F, 36C (too hot for me!) Winds SW at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 40%.
    Our housecleaner is coming this morning, and I have plenty to do around the house. Glad I finished my walk early, it was already getting warmer than comfortable.
    Wishing all a pleasant Thursday, stay cool. โ›„โ„๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

    Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!

    We have 23 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 34 and 39% chance of precipitation that could include lightning and thunder.

    J is up in Kentucky (today is his sister's birthday) so I'm home alone with the cats and sugar glider. I hope we do get rain today, but I could live without the lightning and thunder.

    Not sure how much more we'll get done on the project today, but J has planned a group work session online. Other than that, I'll hope for a slow day. The programmers are busy converting over to a new way of authentication so I can't really get any updates to test until they have that all ready.

    We have 25 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected mostly cloudy high of 35 and 15% chance of precipitation. We did get a brief (too brief) bit of rain last night a while after I watered the container garden.

    Work included a lot of online meetings yesterday, so not too strenuous, though the day started with an issue from a client. I was able to quickly verify the issue and wrote up a ticket for the programmers. It will probably be looked into next week.

    I should get out to the grocery at some point on the weekend. Not a lot else on the critical agenda.

    Hi Irene and Jo.
    Ed, work seems to be humming along. Hubby usually does the grocery shopping, but couldn't find mushrooms yesterday. I may go out later to another store to get them (for the hot and sour soup).
    We had a nice time with family yesterday. ๐Ÿฅฐ
    There were more t-storms in the evening, but not as ferocious as the night before. It's good, we need the rain.
    It's currently a comfortable 67F, 19C. Looks like we're getting a break from the 90s this coming week. Mostly sunny. High 86F, 30C. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 mph.
