    Good morning!
    Girls night was fun. :)
    Very hot here too. We may go for a walk soon, before it gets too hot.
    Happy Saturday. :)

    Good afternoon,
    It is 93 here and I am nice cool in my AC house.
    I worked this morning and will work a few hours tomorrow and Monday. The store is short on help and the manager asked me to work. Nothing else planned for the weekend.
    Have a great day. :)

    Hi
    Despite getting out an hour earlier than normal I am running late today posting and may easily run out of time shortly. If I miss anybody/anything I will finish up tomorrow :)
    Currently at 9500 steps. It was HOT out there this morning, I could really feel the heat of the sun when I was in the sunlight. Then after Breakfast My Brother & I took out a small tree 1.5 to 2 inches that was growing between the back fences. Using a electric Saws-all AKA Reciprocating Saw and a wood blade we broke it down into manageable pieces into a plastic tub to fit into the car cleanly and finished the job with a Recycle Leaf bag and disposed of the dearly departed at the recycle center.

    Have a Great Weekend

    Good evening;
    Roger-I have the black bean polenta enchilada in the microwave right now. :)
    Vix-Enjoy your girls night out. :) Looks like I will be giving my plants some TLC over the weekend.
    I turned on the AC last night. We have it set at 72, so if the house gets any warmer than that it kicks on.
    It was very comfortable sleeping last night.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Hi Joanne
    I will be interested in hearing how You liked that entree. It will be a one per order food item I suspect for variety.
    I left the small bedroom AC unit running from yesterday morning on. It may not get shut off until fall and for cleaning given the temperatures and time of year.

    Have a Good Day

    good morning, it sure got hot here yesterday it was 91 to hot to walk. I took a friend of mine to the grocery store she is 80 years old and doesn't drive she is such a nice person then I spend some time with her . Her husband passed away a year and half ago so I try and spend some time with her, it was really nice.I went for a walk this morning I don't go long very much but I went out with George and Annie this morning and I got 8000 steps in so I feel pretty good about that. I have has the ac on it just gets to hot well take care and have a nice saturday

    Hi Irene
    It was already getting hot at 6:30AM and was even worse when I reached back home at 8AM. I stopped a couple of times as much to cool off in the shade as a reason. I hope to get put slightly earlier tomorrow as I try and beat the heat. Currently my Front Porch is showing the 90s at 7:30PM :( There goes the electric bill.

    Cheers

    It was hot for our walk, but mostly in the forested part of the park, so it wasn't so bad. Was pretty sweaty by the time we finished, but it was good to get out.
    Went to Kohl's. Mostly went through the clearance racks...got 2 sweaters and a sweater dress for next winter, and a nice summer blouse. I had a coupon for $14 and a coupon for $10. I paid $12.82! Talk about frugal! The receipt shows Total Saved: $187.10... :smiley:
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Hi Vix
    Now that is an awesome savings :) I wish I could score clothes like that.

    On the Back roads while walking today I was zigzagging and planning my route to be in the shade as much as possible.

    Today was not my favorite day for walking due to the heat.

    Tomorrow I think I will go outback and fire up the small BBQ and cook up those pork chops from last year. I pulled them from the freezer and put them into the Refrigerator to defrost yesterday. A little Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce and they should be good, even when Microwaved over the next couple of days.

    Enjoy Your Evening

    Good morning;
    It is a little cooler this morning.
    I worked 12am-6am. I am having my coffee and turkey sausage and egg breakfast sandwich.
    Roger-the black bean enchilada was ok. I would order it again.
    Vix-What a great savings! :)
    The only thing I did yesterday was water my flowers and I was very sweaty when I finished.
    I haven't decided on anything to do today, besides taking a nap.
    Have a happy Sunday. :)

    Jo, good you can relax, I would be tired after that shift!
    Irene, good to get the walk in early, sounds like you have a nice day planned. :)
    Roger, enjoy your BBQ chops. :)
    It's hot here too. We have a BBQ at a friends house late afternoon to evening.
    Hubs just installed a new router on our network, upgraded. Our old one kept losing it. It was easy to connect. All I needed was the password. :)
    No plans yet for the rest of the morning and early afternoon. May just putter around.

    Hi
    It was somewhat cooler this morning than Yesterday, a Whopping 2 or 3 degrees, Whee. Today's weather looks like a rerun of the last two days until this afternoon When that Tropical Storm from down South moves in, it is currently forecast to last into tomorrow Afternoon. Thus the Picking up the fruit today. There goes tomorrows holiday for many in this area :(

    I got out the door early 6:30AM and shortened that green strandy weed that covers the lot around the house on my return, 8400 steps total :) On the way back home I stopped and picked up some assorted types of Apples, a head of Lettuce, 2 Green Pears, 3 Greenish Bananas. I would have skipped the Bananas if they had not been fairly green :)

    Have a good Memorial Day

    Hi Joanne
    It was not as hot as I had feared thus my being willing to reorder it in the next order.
    The Turkey Sausage & Egg breakfast sandwich needs a little cheese IMO. I use 1/2 of a slice of Velveeta on it and the other 1/2 on the Hamburger sandwich. Each 1/2 slice is only 20 calories so I can consider it a Limited Extra :) And it does help the sandwich taste a lot for me. It takes the sandwich from Meh to Good. BTW when I do the NS Breakfast sandwich with cheese in it, I pull the cheese before heating it in the Microwave and then put the cheese back on when it is done.

    One of us needs to get out and water the garden later, after planting the plants my Brother picked up Yesterday, He picked up Basil, Dill, and Portulaca, lots of Basil as he love fresh made Pesto :)

    Enjoy the Holiday

    Hi Irene
    At least it was a little better today than Saturday when I went out the door. OTOH the Living Room was up to 79 degrees so On went mister Wall mount AC before I went out to mow.

    I used to work Holidays too, When I was driving for a living. That Gave 9 hours guaranteed pay, 8 hours regular + 1 Hour OT, then Time and a half for all hours worked. Plus I always found that where I went the traffic was lighter than normal. So for the first 8 hours it worked out to double time & a half, Then 1 hour of triple time, then anything past the 9 hour mark was a pay cut back to Time & a half :)

    I did not do good with weight and I was only off walking for 2 days this past week from the Ankle pain. So far so good no re-occurrence, Knock wood. Good Luck getting things fixed

    Enjoy Your Holiday

    Hi Vix
    I did always like night work for the Summer, Much more comfortable :)

    I Plan to enjoy the BBQ Chops today and tomorrow.

    I upgraded our Wireless setup last year to 802.11ac router and a USB device on this computer to get all the Internet speed I am paying for. All the rest of the Desktop computers are hardwired. Sooner or later I plan to hardwire this one too so I can turn off the wireless as a security thing.

    Enjoy Your Day Taking it Easy, Enjoy the Holiday & BBQ

    Hi Irene
    I have no clue what happened, It was fine that morning and up to noon, sometime between noon and 2PM when I got up from the chair it got very painful.

    I did not walk for two days and so far no re-occurrence, Knock Wood :)

    Enjoy the Holiday

    It's another gray day here. No plans for today, our son may stop by later. That'll be nice. :)
    In honor of memorial day, and gratitude to all those who served, I pray we choose our leaders wisely. The world is a precarious place.

    Hi
    Well I did it, I walked today 8200 steps so far. I need to check and see if our towns memorial Day Parade is cancelled, many here in NJ are cancelled for today due to the rain in the forecast. According to the Weather report this morning we have had .8 inches of rain overnight. No rain while walking, I did take the big umbrella along just in case.

    Have a Great Memorial Day

    Hi Irene
    Hmm... The rain here was gone when I looked out the Living Room window at 7:15AM, So far it has not reappeared, It is gloomy looking outside and who knows it may come back. For now things have dried off.

    Enjoy the Holiday

    Hi Vix
    There is nothing wrong with having a lazy relaxed day. It is a little sad that beach goers and BBQ'ers will most likely not have a great day for weather.

    It is not just out leaders we need to worry about it is all of them around the world. There are a couple of troublemakers out there too.

    Have a Good Holiday

    Good afternoon;
    It was quite chilly yesterday. I wore a light track jacket most of the day. It has been raining most of the day today. I went with my daughter yesterday to buy a new car. She got a great price and good trade in on hers. She got a VW Jetta. The sales person was great, no pressure.
    Vix and Roger, I agree to many crazies in politics now.
    Irene-Yay for getting your steps in.
    I work overnight again last night. I came home and slept for a couple of hours, but it wasn't a restful sleep. I don't think I could do this on a daily basis. I will be glad to get back to my routine.
    Roger-I was wondering if they would cancel the parade in my town. It was raining pretty hard around 9 when it was supposed to start.
    Enjoy your day. :)

    Hi Joanne
    Yesterday was not chilly here, it was warm & Humid even early in the day.

    I called the Police number for the Desk Sargent and used the voice menus to get to the announcements that stated the Parade was cancelled FWIW. The rain had ended before I got up and looked a little after 7AM, Why they cancelled I am not sure. There has been no rain since the overnight hours so far.

    Congratulations on a good deal

    Hi
    It is warmer already compared to yesterday and the promised drop in humidity has not happened yet. I was out walking and picked up the cloth AKA Handkerchief I dropped yesterday and said I'm not going that far when I realized it was not in my pocket. Sure enough there it was just sitting there waiting for me to pick it up. I keep it in my pocket to sit on if/when I stop for a minute or two to clear my nose. Most of the routes I walk have places that van be used to sit and relax if needed. They also come in handy as a place to dispose of anything that needs it as some of them have City garbage cans :) IOWs when I see garbage / Litter I have been known to pick it up and dispose of it that way. I carry a plastic grocery bag in my pocket when I remember to replace the last on I used up for that purpose. Some of the City cans scattered around have a recycle can next to them otherwise on recycle pickup day I just chuck recyclables into a handy recycle can.

    For anybody the is working, Have A Great Back To Work Tuesday

    Hi Irene
    Good to hear You were prepared although TBH I would expect that You would be ready :)

    The weird part of the cancel is that things here were drying out at 7AM and there was no more rain yesterday. I can only guess that the parade was canceled the day before based on the weather forecast on Sunday for Monday. Maybe I'll walk past the Police station later this week and see when it has been rescheduled to, if at all.

    Have a Good Week

    Warm and sunny this morning. It was partly cloudy and warm yesterday. Didn't do much, my son stopped by for a couple of hours, that was nice.
    Jo, congrats to your daughter on her new car. :)
    I didn't even check on parades around here. Just sort of hung out and relaxed yesterday.
    Off to clay co-op this morning.

    The sun is shinning and there is a warm breeze.
    We didn't do much yesterday, just a quick trip to BBB to get a shoe rack for hubbies shoes.He has stacks of boxes in the bottom of the closet.
    I slept 9 hours last night. I usually only average 4-5 hours. I guess working overnight wore me out.
    I am now back to my regular schedule.
    We are going tomorrow after work to pick up my daughter's new car.

    Hi
    7200 steps in what is somewhat warm already. It was fine in the shady areas and too warm in the sunny parts of the walk today. A slight breeze helped somewhat. Today is forecast to be a little cooler than yesterday.

    Yesterday we mailed a combined care package to our sister on the west coast. My portion had the DVDs and Thumb drive of the first batch of Videos I captured and worked on for my Sister. DVDs for her and Apple format for her Kids. We used a Post Office Flat Rate Box. My Brother stuffed it with things that we get easily here and not at all out there. Pork Roll, Frozen and Shrink Wrapped and Yes it will be fine as it was insulated too. Some Coconut covered Marshmallows, Home Made Chocolate Balls covered with Powdered Sugar, shelf stable package of Stuffed Cabbage Leafs, since there was room and the price is the same for a Box of feathers or Lead weights :)

    Have a Good Wednesday

    I have found that BBB is a handy place to go for things especially when You use coupons. We tend to use a coupon for each item purchased since they allow it.

    If You slept that long then You did need it :) I am sure it will be better with a regular work schedule.

    Hi Irene
    If You are like everybody else that tried the frozen You should like it. The frozen breakfasts are good, The Hamburger, Grilled Chicken Sandwich and the Melts are good. With the Dinners for me it depends on the heat in them as I do not eat really hot foods. The Frozen Deserts are good too. FWIW with the Hamburger I use a Limited Extra of Velveeta Cheese, A 1/2 slice is 20 calories and a dab of Ketchup. I sometimes use a slice of the ShopRite Precooked bacon on the hamburger or the Chicken Sandwich. With the Chicken I can use Light Mayo, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Onion and have a filling tasty sandwich too, You can also do that with the Hamburger :)

    I was just out back of the house and it has gotten warmer in the Sun already :)
    As soon as I got home from the morning walk I turned on the Wall AC in the living room.

    I have not bothered to put the Windows mount AC in this bedroom yet, It stays cool enough from the Cooler Living room air as long as I leave the door open and I do have a Box Fan running too.

    I did shorter multiple walks when I started walking as that was all I could do. Now with summer here already I want to get out and be done before the heat of day sets in.

    Have a Good Day and enjoy the frozen.

    Hi!
    Body flow is part tai chi, part yoga, and part pilates. I don't like the pilates part. :p
    I made a bird house at clay co-op yesterday...still have to fire it, paint it, and fire it again.
    I've been making small cups and bowls at the pottery wheel class.
    Irene, good that you are getting your walking in, if smaller walks work better, that's great. :)
    Roger, sounds like you've been busy! We have our AC on...it's 86 and sunny today.
    It was really fun going out for lunch. My friend Toni looks very cute. She's really excited as this is her first baby. :)
    Enjoy the rest of the day, everyone. :)

    Good evening;
    Irene-I think you will like the frozen NS. That's great that you can walk shorter distances and your knee doesn't hurt as much.
    Vix-It is fun shopping for baby things. I think pilates is hard.
    Roger-It was a perfect day here, not too hot and not too cold, just right. HAHA I sound like Goldilocks. :p
    We picked up my daughter's new car. She is very happy.
    I have tomorrow off and if the weather permits, I will be working on the weeds in my flower beds. I think it will be an all day project, but will look so much nicer when I am done.
    Have a great evening. :)
