good morning,
Well the DR wants me to watch my salt intake so my swelling will be good . I have never had any problems with salt I don't even cook with it. Last night we had Chinese food last night I could feel my foot swelling up I guess I need to stay away from Chinese food for awhile .
take care everyone0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
We have 28 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 33 and 0% chance of precipitation, so I guess I'll have to turn on the hose and make my own rain for the container garden.
We had a late lunch yesterday, as planned, at Shah's, the Middle Eastern halal restaurant. They offer a limited variety of platters, gyro wraps, and salads, but for those not looking for that sort of food, they also offer American style burgers, chicken sandwiches, and Philly cheese steak sandwiches. They seem to be a somewhat widespread franchise chain that we had never heard of.
Jason had a falafel wrap and I had a kofta kabob wrap. We both had fries as well. There was a LOT of food in the order, and it was a very satisfying meal. We will be back for more!
The other restaurant that we didn't really care for is called Pita, and it might be a fairly large chain too. I'm not going to say that Pita is BAD, because they aren't really. They are, at least in our opinions, more than somewhat mediocre. Your mileage could well vary, and it could just be that our local restaurant isn't up to par or something.
Sausage and whole grain protein waffles for breakfast.
Nothing critical on the agenda for today.

Good afternoon

We went to the mall and walked around and then went out to lunch.
Vix-Have a good trip.
Irene-Chinese food has a lot of salt in it, listen to the Dr.
Ed-I love middle eastern food. I usually get a lamb gyro wrap.
Enjoy your afternoon. 0 -

Good morning;
I got my walk in yesterday 3.88 miles. I also went to my old work and visited for a while. It was good to see everyone. They still haven't replaced me. I talked with the store manager and said I would come back and work a few days a week if they would pay me a decent wage. It is being looked into. I enjoy being retired, but I also miss working. I like to keep busy.
Have a great day.

Good morning,
Jo good luck with getting what you want from your old boss. I know a lot of people that go back to work after they retire.
Today I go back to the DR today he may take the stitches out.

I have retired twice but ended up going back to work both times, albeit with different companies, and am working still. Just had my two year anniversary with the company!
Plenty to look at today for work.

Good morning,
It is currently 60F with a high of 79F. It was a beautiful morning for a walk. I did 3.64 miles.
Irene-I hope you got your stitches out yesterday.
Ed-How did Dinah fair at the vet?
Vix-I hope you are having a great time.
I have to go for an ultrasound of my kidney today. I have been having symptoms of a stone.
Have a great day!0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!

Dinah did fine at the vet. They think she could use a tooth cleaning and we will consider that.
We'll see what awaits in the workplace this morning.

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!
We have 24 (Celsius) sunny degrees with an expected high of 36 and 3% chance of precipitation.
I made slow cooker chicken Marsala yesterday, so that, with some mashed potatoes, was my dinner. Jason was out for a physical therapy appointment and picked up his lunch and dinner while out, getting some fried rice at a nearby restaurant.
I have some leftover chicken Marsala for my lunch and, maybe, another meal, depending on whether I make mashed potatoes to go with the rest it or a bunch of noodles and chunk it up with them.
Either way, I'm sure it will be nice.
New thing to play with at work, and I'm sure there will still be more updates to already existing projects.

good morning
Irene, I hope you got your stitches out and are feeling better. If you want an occasional Chinese food, ask them if they can make your meal without the MSG, and don't add soy sauce to anything they bring you. MSG and soy sauce have crazy amounts of salt. I used to get steamed meals and ask them to put the sauce on the side.
Jo, retirement is nice but I can see working part time. I have lots of projects, and I go to my craft groups which keeps me busy. You may also like a book club, they're nice if you find a good group of people.
Ed, sounds like you've been keeping busy and eating some yummy food. It does seem that you like to work.
We had a nice vacation, got back last night. We went for morning walks on the beach, and in the evening spent time on the beach in the shade of the hotel. It was too hot to sit on the beach in the sun.
If you go, Brookgreen Gardens is really nice. Also, your ticket is good for a week, so you can go back to see parts you missed. There's a huge sculpture garden, some exhibit halls, a zoo area which is a habitat for some of the local wildlife, a butterfly pavillion, and a lowlands history area. It used to be a rice plantation.
We went for a sunset cruise at Murrells Inlet, and there was a small boardwalk and several seafood restaurants there.
It was nice to be away from the routine, news, etc.
Today, I watered my plants and am doing a lot of laundry!
It's currently 79F, 26C. Today's forecast is for partly cloudy. Slight chance of a rain shower. High 84F, 29C. Winds light and variable.
Wishing all a pleasant Sunday. 🍨🌷🌻🌼🌞0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!

Wishing all a bright, shiny new week. 🤸🌻🍷

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have 22 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 29 and 75% chance of precipitation that could include thundershowers.
Dinah and I got all the laundry folded. I still have more to wash. One pair of blue jeans had to wait a while before I could put it away, as Dinah decided it was the best place to rest and have a short nap.
I still have more laundry to wash, dry, and fold and I'm sure she will be as helpful as always.

Ed-Glad Dinah had a good vet visit.
Hi Irene.
I just realized that I haven't been on in a few days, lots going on. Thursday I am going to Day Surgery to have a few more kidney stones taken care of. I have also applied to my old job to work a few days a week. And I bought a new car, a NIssan Kicks.
Enjoy our day!

good morning.
Pete and I went out for lunch on Monday to a place called the Mad Chef. It was good. He had some tacos (shrimp and gyro filled), and I had a couscous salad. And we had some guacamole and chips for the appetizer.
Ed, cute picture of Dinah. She's really a pretty cat. Best wishes for a safe and easy procedure today, and have fun at DragonCon. Take pictures!
Jo, how exciting, a new car! I just took a look at the Kicks online, what a cute car! What color did you get? Thanks for the birthday wishes for Pete. And best wishes for a safe and easy procedure tomorrow.
Irene, how are you doing? I hope your foot is feeling much better and you're starting to get back to normal.
It's currently 71F, 22C here. Partly cloudy. High 84F,29C. Winds NW at 10 to 15 mph.
I'm working on a lot of projects at home, but I want to go to Barnes and Noble today and pick up a book or 2 for our grandson. He's currently into wolves! 😂
Wishing all a happy 🐫 day!

Good evening
Ed-Good luck with your procedure and have fun at DragonCon.
Vix-The color I got is Electric Blue. I usually go for more neutral colors, but decided to get out of my comfort zone.
I managed to get out for my walk this morning between rain showers. I also went to the car dealer to pick my registration and get an inspection sticker.
Irene-I hope your foot is getting better each day.
Have a good evening! 0 -
good morning
Jo, I like the electric blue! It'll make it easier to find in a parking lot (I once had a car in a similar color, loved it!)
It's currently 63F, 17C, great walking weather. Abundant sunshine. High 81F, 27C. Winds NNE at 10 to 15 mph.
Wishing everyone a calm and gentle Thursday. 🌞🌷🍷1 -
Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 23 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 29 and 7% chance of precipitation. We had enough over the last couple of days, so I could use a day without rain.
My procedure went well, but I am sore and a bit tired still. I'll likely take a nap after (or maybe even before) lunch. After the procedure yesterday, we stopped at an Egg Harbor Cafe for a late breakfast and then I took a nap right after we got home. That lasted a couple of hours and didn't seem long enough, but between the noise of the lawn crew and the cats checking up on me it was all I was fated to get.
The cats let me sleep in a bit this morning, though Dinah seems to think that I absolutely have to get up by 8:30 as she tends to start poking and meowing shortly before that time, every morning, even though I don't usually feed them until 9:30 or so. Maybe she wants to be sure I'm good and awake by her breakfast time.
Now I'm drinking my tea, and looking forward to coffee after. I had biscuits and hot sausage gravy for breakfast.

Good morning.
Ed-I am glad your procedure went well.
Mine didn't go as well. The stone was imbedded and the area swollen. The Dr. put a stent in hoping that will help to pass the stone.
If not I have to go in for another procedure.
Hi Vix and Irene.
Currently 58F with a high of 7F. It is supposed to be a gorgeous weekend.
Enjoy!

I am feeling a bit less achy this morning, though there is still some slight swelling. Hope your stone passes, Joanne!
We'll probably head downtown sometime this evening to pick up our DragonCon passes.
Scrambled eggs and a biscuit for breakfast.

Oops, my note from yesterday didn't post!
Ed, I'm glad your procedure went well. Hopefully the achiness and swelling will heal quickly, and you'll get your energy back.
Jo, sorry your procedure did not go as well. I hope the stent does it's job and that you're feeling better soon. Take good care of yourself.
Irene, I hope you're up and about and your foot is healing nicely.
It was 55F, 13C when I went for my walk this morning. Forecast is for sunny skies. High 86F, 30C. Winds light and variable.
I am meeting with my co-mom for brunch this morning to catch up and start planning the baby shower.
I need to do some cleaning and work on some projects when I get home.
Wishing all a wonderful weekend. 🌺🌞🍷

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 21 (Celsius) partly cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 28 and 1% chance of precipitation.
We never did get downtown to DragonCon yet. Maybe today. Jason had to work on something rather late into the evening so I just made us some veggie burgers with cheese and egg, and had a martini watching videos.
I do need to get to the grocery sometime this weekend and I need to sweep the bathrooms, clean the bathrooms, and vacuum the carpeted areas in the house.

We have 26 (Celsius) sunny degrees (feels like 27) with an expected sunny high of 30 and 0% chance of precipitation. I nee to water the container garden for sure.
We did get to DragonCon yesterday, and I may get back down there today. I only took a few pictures as we walked to get what we needed done.
A robot dog at the check-in line, some Halloween Town characters, and a few interesting costumes I saw.
Me, sitting behind the banner of one of the DragonCon vendors. I didn't actually see anything I wanted there but was using his chair to rest for a minute. Jason took this picture.
This year's DragonCon souvenir cane. No blade in this one, but I found I needed a utility cane as I had forgotten to bring my usual one. I may go back tomorrow to look for a sword cane.
