    So I was silly. Last Wednesday I bought my sister and I pizza at a great place in Anacortes Wa. It was a large and we each ate 2 pieces. Have more than half left over. I have bundles of 2 pieces stacked in the freezer. It will take me eons to finish. I planned a piece today for dinner. Its pepperoni, sausage, mushroom, tomato and black olives and big slices so 300+ for a slice according to this site. I just used Domino's even though its better than Domino's. They're wrapped in foil. They should last a month or 5 right?

    Ezie will be 9 in Sept. The wetlands starts right across the street from her school. They did a walking field trip there a few weeks ago and she came home telling about the salt marsh field mouse and the pickle weed that they eat. I was impressed that she learned and remembered so much about it. She even asked me if I had seen the pickleweed and if it was still green or if it had turned red yet.

    Stayed home from church and watching it online today.
    DH is at a toy show with his friend(customers, not sellers, though he does have plenty he should start selling so he doesn't take over even more of the house-already took son's room along with his own room). I am taking advantage of the house to myself so getting chores done that I have been putting off.
    Taking a quick tea break before starting the next one. Next is clearing off the kitchen table and going through all the snacks that have piled up. If I am not going to eat them, or dh or ds(I can drop some off for him if I find ones he would like) the rest are getting dumped. DH said there is nothing there he will eat. I need to do better at tossing stuff

    I love the picture. It reminds me so much of where my dad used to always sit when it was a warm day. He had a bench that looks very similar and it was under a big tree next to their little pond. Now, that is where David, the guy that is living at mom's(was in the room mates trailer until she left with the trailer, leaving the guy homeless)spends many hours, talking on his cell phone to his family back in Mexico.
    That is the one spot on the property that I can almost always send a text. Many other areas on the property I cant. I can't send pictures in texts anywhere there(but I can send them on FB)

    Tracey: So sad for Kaitlyn and Bridget. We Mamas never stop caring for our babies.

    I’m going for my booster jab this morning, then I have my Monday Painters Group after lunch. DH is going out with his birdwatching group, so I’ll have a quiet morning.

    Gotta go start my day 😂

    🤗🤗🤗 and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for those who need them.

    A bit disappointed and frustrated with myself today. Despite not being hungry, the last 3 late evenings I’ve found myself snacking on some of the less than ideal foods now in the house since my daughter is home for the summer. Oh, to have the metabolism of an 18yo again! Just too easy to fall back into those old habits that got me to this unhealthy place.

    Hoping for a mental reset today. A nice veggie scramble with eggs and egg whites paired with mixed berries for breakfast, ground turkey thawing for stuffed peppers for dinner, and lots of good options on hand for the time in between to keep myself on track. But those stupid hours between dinner and bedtime continue to be my weakest time.

    Would love to hear how some of you manage those witching hours and stay on track…

    Had a very peaceful day yesterday. DH went to a toy show with his friend- he bought 4 model kits and talked to some vendors about some original Japanese Pokemon cards(before they were actually called Pokemon) that his uncle had sent him. He found the boxes of them when we were cleaning out more of his mom's house. They are very rare so thinking about selling them.
    I spent the day doing chores on my list- A lot of work but felt great when I got done. No, he didn't notice any of it when he got home. Just went straight to his second room(son's room) and laid down and watched a movie until around 2AM I think.

    Stripped the bed completely including the waterproof mattress cover, washed everything. Fixed the memory foam topper that had slipped down and was bugging me.
    Folded and put away a huge pile of my clothes that had piled up for too long.
    Washed,folded and put away 3 loads of laundry,
    Made and filled hummingbird feeders
    Tried to clear off the kitchen table- toooooo many snacks piled up. I did toss quite a bit but still too much. DH did say he didn't realize he had some of the snacks that are now organized and not just piled.
    NO more buying snacks until we go through what we have.

    This morning I need to go pick my raspberries before the Mockingbirds eat them all
    I have been enjoying taking my cup of tea with me to the front and picking,and eating them. Can't get any fresher.
    I also need to dead head my roses and water the front garden. Hoping to give away all the rest of my tomato starts so I will have one less thing to water.

    Not sure what dh has planned for today- he is still sleeping.

    Just realized, I haven't watched tv for about a week now. I really enjoy the quiet. DH is just the opposite. He will have the tv on loud and have a Reels video on his phone at the same time.

    Made a pot of coffee for the first time in the old percolator coffee pot that was MIL's. Smells really good. Dh can have coffee when he gets up. Glad I found the cord to it- it was in a totally different spot than the coffee pot was-in a pile of cords

    Tea is about done and I want to get a few things done before he gets up and my quiet time is over.

    Zumba tonight- Aqua starts next Friday night. Looking forward to it.

    Plan on starting back tracking my food again. Have been terrible about it the past few months.

    Hey kids,

    Back inside, cooling down. Stopped a bit early, as I ripped the tire right off the hub on my trailer. Again. 😂🤔😲 I'm hard on yard equipment, I'm afraid. Need to get Corey to teach me how to weld anyway, maybe this weekend!

    I hauled three big loads of brush, and on the third one, the tire just fell right off halfway to the brushpile (swear!). Oh well. There was still a lot to do, but sometimes the universe tells you to sit down, you know? Paid attention for a change.

    Tomorrow I'll try to figure out a way to get the rest of it to the brushpile or alternatively, burn it where it sits. I'd rather not, but I'll talk to Corey. Unfortunately, our little tractor just isn't really set up to haul loads of brush for long distances. There is always a way.

    Tina - I understand your mister's reluctance to drop back a step on the healing - the thought of a screw loose in an ankle is a bit unnerving, though. I did the same thing, got a battery string trimmer that I could handle. Corey's is massive, and gas-powered, essentially unusable for me.

    Rebecca - So glad your youngest is doing better!

    Lynn - I gave in to the witching hour rather than fighting with it, because I found that I sleep better with a little food in me. I save calories to eat a piece of string cheese or two and five saltines. Satisfies crunch, salt, protein and the carbs that help me sleep. I'm going to eat - I just need to keep it reasonable.

    Please note - a lot of people freak out because a bit of salt will add some water weight, but it always comes off again… and if you can get yourself to look at your weekly average weight instead of what it says each morning, that's a big roller coaster gone from your life.

    Chowing down on my first meal of the day, I've developed an odd craving for ham and swiss lately. It's good protein and tastes amazing.

    Will jump in the shower shortly, and then settle in front of some Midsomer Murders with my current crochet project.

    Love y'all,
