good morning
Ed, have fun at DragonCon. Sounds like a blast.
Jo, I have a recipe for gluten free chocolate chip cookies made with almond flour. They're really good. ( I made a few without the chocolate chips for Will, he doesn't like chocolate!) Thanks for the birthday wishes for Lilly. 3 already! Chicken cutlets in marinara sounds delicious. Pete tends to cook in big batches too!
Irene, hope all is well.
It's currently 70F, 21C. Cloudy skies early, then partly cloudy this afternoon. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 84F, 29C. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
We're doing some cleaning and rearranging in the basement. That'll keep me busy! Also want to get a microwave for down there.
Wishing all a happy long weekend! ☁️🌂🍪🍷🕊️

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 26 (C) sunny degrees with an expected cloudy high of 33 and 44% chance of precipitation after 2:00.
We have been going to DragonCon every year for many years now. I don't remember exactly which year was the first year we went. It was cancelled in 2020 because of the COVID lockdown, and was iffy in 2021 but did end up happening.
I try to buy a souvenir every year. I have several walking sticks I bought there, and often buy a sword cane to add to my collection, though some of them are more of a dagger cane, with a fairly short blade. They are strictly decorative. And one year I bougt a katana with a green bamboo looking sheath and handle, so an actual sword is not out of the question either, as long as it is safely sheathed.
I'll be heading downtown shortly to visit the vendor hall at DragonCon and will have lunch downtown. It's not unlikely that lunch could be from a food truck, though I may see how the prospects look in the food court at Peachtree center. There are food options in the vendor hall, and food trucks just outside of it.
Late dinner last night was from the Noodle Cafe in the food court, as we went dowtown last night to get our badges for the con, and to look around. We also met briefly with A and her husband C. Of course it wasn't as though we hadn't seen A in a while since I just drove her to the Marta train Thursday afternoon, but we hadn't seen C this trip until last night. After we got home, I fed Remus, drank a glass of electrolyte repleneshing fluid, and went to bed.

I made it down to DragonCon today. Jason did not.
I actually am an ordained minister, so in lieu of a costume, I just wore my black shirt with Roman collar.
My Cosplay was supposed to be Fr. Ignatius from the series Evil, except he doesn't have a beard, so maybe a nameless priest from The Entity in that same show. I brought back this year's official dragon for Jason. Pics of my new souvenir sword cane later, once I get the rubber tip for it and assemble it.

Good morning
Ed, so many sides to you! An ordained minister. Hmmm. Have fun at DragonCon.
Hi Jo and Irene.
It's currently 68F,20C. Rain showers this morning with overcast skies during the afternoon hours. High 84F, 29C. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.
We got a small microwave for the shelf that was built in to the cabinets in the basement, and I'm working on trying to do some cleaning and clearing out down there. I'm going slow. I seem to get tired, bored, frustrated and give up after a little while! Oh well, so it will take a bit longer.
Wishing all a peaceful Sunday. ☁️🌧️☂️🌻🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
We have 22 (C) sunny degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 32 and 86% chance of precipitation that could include thundershowers.
We had some thunder and rain last night, but it was after about 9:30 and didn't ever get scary. I think it was raining when I went to bed.
I may take a rest day today. And I may be getting Jason's cold, but that's not a certainty yet. I am tired and achy from all the walking yesterday. But I do have some laundry (not the same laundry) to fold.

Good morning;
Currently 73F with a high of 81F and cloudy. The humidity is 92%, yuck!
Nothing planned for today, will see what the day brings.
We did go to Walmart for a few things this morning.
Have a good day!

good morning all
Ed, do you not have Labor Day off? It's good to take a day off every so often, and sounds like you could use some R&R. Laundry is so easy for me, with it on the main floor, it doesn't even really seem like a chore.
Jo, I hope you had a fun day, despite the humidity.
Irene, it's funny, I stay busy with exercising and every day stuff too. Don't know how I ever had time for work. 😂
I'm going to bake a small cake for Lilly's birthday today for a little celebration with just us. It should be fun.
Got rid of some old papers and things yesterday. Lots more cleaning out to do. I think that's a never-ending process.
It's currently 65F, 18C. Partly cloudy skies. High 76F, 24C. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph. Looks like temps in the 70sF, low to mid 20sC this week. That's good. I'm tired of the really hot weather.
Wishing all a bright shiny new week. 🌤️🌟🌻🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
Happy Labor Day! I have the day off, which is good since I have definitely acquired Jason's cold. He's feeling much better, and will be off to Kentucky probably today, though he still has some coughing and congestion.
I do have some fresh laundry to fold. I washed it last night, and started it in the dryer.
I may (doubtful) get out for a few groceries today but none are critical so probably not.
Sipping tea now, and will feed the cats in a few minutes.

Happy Birthday Lilly
Hi Ed ,Jo and Vix0 -
Good morning;
Currently 68F with a high of 77F, sunny and no humidity.
I am doing laundry and puttering around the house.
Vix-cleaning out is a never ending process. I have cleaned out a lot but still have a lot more to do. As I get older, I want less stuff,
not more. Hubby is just the opposite. He hates to throw anything out. He may need it.
Hi Irene-Have you been getting any pool time?
Ed-I am sorry that you got Jason's cold. I hope you feel better soon.
Have a great day! 0 -
As promised, this year's souvenir dual bladed vulture head sword cane, purchased in the DragonCon vending hall.

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have 23 (C) cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 28 and 2% chance of precipitation, though I could swear I heard a raindrop earlier.
I was supposed to be at my periodontist this morning, but had to reschedule because of this cold. That's actually OK with me as I probably should not have made the appointment for right after the busy Labor Day weekend.
We'll see how long I make it at work today. I could really go back to bed right now and snooze some more. J has made it safely back to Kentucky and will be working from there for a week or two.
Dinner yesterday was just some butter and herb noodles. Breakfast today was a waffle, sausage, cheese sandwich.

good morning
Thanks, Irene.
Jo, I'm the one who always thinks I'll need something, so it's really hard for me to clean things out, but I don't want to have so many things I don't use anymore. Definitely a lot of it needs to go.
Ed, nice sword and walking stick. I hope you feel better soon.
It's currently 54F, 12C. Sunny. High 74F,23C. Winds light and variable. Feels nice to have some cooler weather.
Craft day today.
Wishing all a fine Tuesday. 🌞👩🏻🎨🕊️

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 18 (C) sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 28 and 1% chance of precipitation.
Sounds like a lovely day. I could use a few grocery items but not sure if I want to get out. Maybe I'll order grocery delivery, contactless, as I am probably less than halfway through this cold.
Anyway, work beckons shortly.

Ed, take it easy and I hope you feel better soon.
It's currently 55F, 13C. Sun and clouds mixed. High 76F,24C. Winds light and variable.
I have a massage appt this morning, and then I have to stop at the auto repair place. One of the pieces they fixed is loose.

Good afternoon;
Currently 79F and sunny. I sat out on the deck and read.
Ed-Nice cane and sword. I hope you feel better soon.
Vix-enjoy your massage.
Hi Irene.
Have a good afternoon.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 21 (C) clear (moony?) degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 28 and 2% chance of precipitation.
Dinner was an Omaha Steaks burger with cheese, potato crisps on the side. Breakfast was steel cut oats with brown sugar and cinnamon, sausage patties on the side.
We'll see what the work day brings, and whether I can make it through. Yesterday I had to lie down for an hour or so, shortly after lunch but I made up the time at the end of the day.

good morning
Hi Irene.
Jo, glad you got some time to relax and read. What are you reading now?
Ed, I hope you're feeling better. Nice that you are working from home and can take a break and lie down when/if you need to.
Turns out they didn't have the right clip for my car at the repair shop, so they're ordering it and will let me know when it's in. I'm glad I didn't make a special trip to get there.
I need to exercise today. I took a few days off, and it doesn't seem to be helping my achiness. Maybe the moving will help.
It's currently 55F,13C. Sunny. High 77F,25C. Winds light and variable. Beautiful weather, will be sure to get outside and enjoy it!
Wishing all a fine Thursday. 🌞🌻☕🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!
We have 20 (C) partly cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 26 and 17% chance of precipitation.
Hopefully I'll get over this cold soon. Jason's lasted a week and a half or so and he thinks he had a bit of a relapse after driving to Kentucky. I don't have much of an appetite, but I make food anyway. Food tastes fine when I eat it and I am eating enough. Trying to avoid any greasy foods as they don't sit well.
Work beckons!

good morning
Ed, greasy foods never sit well with me, best to avoid them especially when not feeling well. I hope you start feeling better today.
Hi Jo and Irene.
I exercised and mowed one side and the back of our house yesterday. (Took an NSAID in the a.m., so I'm not quite as achy today.)
Pete had to retake his EKG because they didn't do the test right, so that wasted a couple of hours getting him over there and waiting. His hernia surgery is scheduled for Monday morning. It's good that they were able to get him in so quickly.
It's currently 60F, 16C. Mostly cloudy early, then sunshine for the afternoon. High near 80F, 27F. Winds light and variable.
It's foggy this morning. I need to run a few errands today and do a little cleaning, nothing exciting on the agenda.
Wishing all an easy Friday, weekend train is pulling in! 🚂🌫️🌞🌻🍷🕊️0 -
good morning
It's currently 63F, 17C. Rain showers this morning with some sunshine during the afternoon hours. High 72F, 22C. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.
Will's playing football this morning, off to go to that in a few minutes. Our son and family will also be visiting today. I'm planning to make an apple crisp when I get home.
Wishing all a fun weekend. 🏈🌥️🌂☕🌻🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 21 (C) sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 30 and 15% chance of precipitation.
The cats politely let me sleep in until 8:45 and I still haven't eaten yet, but the cats have. I will prepare some food for myself right after I finish this post.
I think grocery shopping will wait until tomorrow, if at all, and today will be a completely lazy day. It was a long work week, and this cold is still with me.

Good morning;
Vix-Thanks for the anniversary wishes. Good luck to Pete for his surgery and a speedy recovery. I am currently reading Miranda James
mysteries. Light and entertaining reading.
Ed-Feel better soon. Get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids.
Hi Irene.
The weather has been exceptional the last few days. I have been enjoying it very much.
I got a summons for jury duty. It is the day before I go on vacation. I am going to try and postpone to a later date.
Today we are going to Ikea for some new bath towels. After that we are moving a Bow flex machine to one of my daughter's
friends, who is a personnel trainer. It has been sitting in our basement collecting dust for a number of years. I think she
will be able to put it to good use.
Have a relaxing Sunday! 0 -
good morning,
Happy Anniversary Jo and Charlie.
I have been following the diet on my fitness pal and my nutritionist and lost 8 pounds feeling really good co
me to find out I wasn't getting enough protein so started to add more and I have so much energy.
Hi Ed Jo and Vix0 -
good morning all
Ed, hope you're feeling better.
Jo, thanks. We'll be getting up early to go to the outpatient center tomorrow morning. Miranda James sounds familiar. I'm still exploring authors I've never read, in between old favorite authors. Good luck getting your jury duty date changed.
Irene, congrats on your weight loss, that's great!
It's currently 51F, 11C. Plentiful sunshine. High 72F, 22C. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. Another beautiful day.
Wishing all a peaceful Sunday. 🌞☕🌻🕊️

Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
We have 19 (C) fair (mostly sunny) degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 27 and 1% chance of precipitation. The cats let me sleep in until 8:00 this morning. Might get a few groceries later. My head felt a bit clearer this morning, or at least I'd like to think so, but that may just be optimism.
Biscuits and sausage shortly for breakfast. Tea is ready. Coffee later.
Belated happy anniversary, Jo! Hope all goes well with the surgery Vix.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
We have 18 (C) partly cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 29 and 2% chance of precipitation.
Dinner last night was a very cheesy twice-baked potato with a little Spam for a side meat. Not the greatest meal, but it was food. I DID get out to Kroger for a few groceries.
Breakfast this morning was a fried jumbo frank from Omaha Steaks, with couple of biscuits with a dab of butter and small bit of apricot preserves in each biscuit.
Still feeling icky, but Jason's cold lasted nearly two weeks so not unexpected.
Back to work this morning.
We'll see what's hot.
