Chickpea sandwich spread wraps. The wrapping is cheese.

Good morning all.
Glad Sammie is doing well, Annie....hope you feel better. Sorry you got side effects, maybe call the Dr if they don't go away soon. A couple of people I knew got shingles, and it was really awful and lasted for months.
Ed, how do you make your chickpea spread? I've made my own hummus before which is pretty good. I'm trying to get more iron now, and beans have a good amount. Haha, I'm always experimenting with my diet, haven't yet found the perfect one to stay on.
The weather is beautiful this a.m., windows open, sun is shining. High of 80 expected today.
I'm thinking a nice relaxing day, maybe some outdoor time to enjoy the weather.
Have a good Sunday, everyone.

Thanks, Ed. I would probably use it like a dip with carrots or celery, similar to hummus.
I found these wildlife pictures online this a.m. and they made me smile, so I thought I'd share.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! It's warm and a bit sticky but will be both warmer and (probably) stickier later, as is normal for a mid-September day here in Peachtree Corners.

I need to get J's car over to the emissions check place. And maybe do some laundry. Dishwasher is running now.

Good morning;
Jan-I hope your daughter is ok.
Irene-I hope you feel better.
Vix-good luck with your sonogram.
Ed-Thanks for the humor.
I am off to the eye doctor. It has been a few years since I was there.
I went into work this morning from4-8. We are having a big visit on Wednesday, so it is all
hands on deck for the next few days.
Have a great day!

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! A bit wet out at the moment but it is supposed to get dryer as the day progresses. We got a few sprinkles yesterday, and woke to a bit more rain. It may end soonish.

Yesterday turned out to be more of a manic Monday than expected, as I had forgotten about an appointment to do the 5,000 mile maintenance on J's motorcycle. So I followed J, we dropped that off and went to a rather late lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, a Thai restaurant owned and operated by a friend.

This was my first time eating out in a restaurant since February (which may well have been at the same restaurant) and I was a bit uneasy about that but we did, of course, have the option to get it to go and eat in my van. But as we were a bit late for lunch, we were the only dine in customers, which eased my anxiety considerably. We had a nice, chat with the owner, from a bit of a distance, and when leaving I could see that she wanted to give us a hugs, but settled for a bow from J and a wave from me.

About 4:20 they called to say the motorcycle was ready and, as they closed at 5:00, we had to scurry to get there to pick it up. In the scurry, I forgot to grab my nice, hunter green, cloth mask that I had left hanging on the deadbolt of the garage door. So much for my hanging it there so I WOULDN'T FORGET IT. But I didn't really need it as I stayed in the van while J picked up the bike. I keep paper masks in the van anyway, in case of need, and I only stopped once on the way home, to get gas at Kroger, so I didn't get near anyone.

After what felt like an especially long Monday I just got into the freezer and invited the Red Baron to dinner and opened a nice bottle of red wine to go with the pizza.

Laundry WILL happen today. I think. It needs to as all of J's masks need washing, though J may not need to go anywhere for a while.

Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday! It's a lot cooler today and is supposed to be very wet. I don't think I need to go anywhere, but do need to take care of the large load in the dryer.

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It's still cooler, and rainy. The rain may taper off this evening. So of course I have a doctor's appointment in Sandy Springs at 9:30. At least they have a (paid) parking garage. That will probably cost me $4 or $5. I will probably get my flu shot while there, and probably the "other" pneumonia shot. I got one of them 6 months ago, but I forget which one, and I seem to remember the doctor promising the other at the next visit. He keeps up with all my booster shots and makes sure I get them all. Even the boosters for what we think of as childhood diseases, that can be rather devastating to adults.

Hello!!
Well, I had over 10 inches of rain from Sally. Rain gauge ran over and I forgot to dump it to get an accurate reading because of the overflow. I also lost a 20 foot, 16 year old tree I grew from a berry from a place I used to walk track. Sentimental value. I still have one as I planted another by it. Could be worse. I have several 60 to 80 foot trees, so am careful neither May or I are under them for a few weeks.

Ed, your pizza looked so good!! Did you get more rain from the system? Glad your test went well, Vix. Hope hubby feels better. You work hard Jo. You sure do get a lot done!!

We are supposed to have some 59 lows Monday and Tuesday!! I cannot wait!! I was cold once or twice when it was 72 with the wind, lol..The South, what can I say!
Stay well...and safe!!!

Good morning.
Sorry about your tree, Jan. At least the damage wasn't worse.
Glad you made it through the rain too, Ed.
Fair with a high of 71 here today. Need to make a quick trip to the bank this a.m. and have a blood test scheduled for this afternoon.
Got the face masks I ordered from Old Navy yesterday. Seem pretty good. Inexpensive and saves me some time.
Have a good day, everyone.

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday! My arms are feeling much better this morning after Thursdays shooting...er I mean injections at the doctor's office. My watch claimed I got NO sleep Thursday and it's not totally wrong.

My left arm started hurting a short time after the the Thursday flu shot in that arm, as usual, but not really as badly as some years. My right arm, which took the pneumonia vaccination, seemed fine for several hours, so I laid on that side for my Thursday nap, and when I woke up my right arm was no longer fine. I suspect that my laying on it may have restricted blood flow and kept everything concentrated in that muscle. By bedtime Thursday night I could barely move my right arm, the pain was really bad, and I was having some chills and hot flashes, with a lot of sweat.

Now the mild chills and hot flashes, with sweat, are not unusual the night after such shots, but along with the really hardened shot site, and the lack of mobility that it caused, I just couldn't get to sleep or get comfortable so got back up and sat up in the living room with an ice pack pressed against it. That helped a little, and I dozed a bit on the couch. Finally, in the wee hours, it did soften a bit and I regained some mobility. I took my serape and curled up in the guest room to toss and turn the rest of the night, so that I wouldn't keep J up all night, as J had to work Friday, albeit only across the hall from the master bedroom, in the home office. It felt to me like I got at least a little sleep but my watch didn't seem to think so.

When I got up yesterday, Friday, I was pretty zombied out but made it through the day fine, got Lilo to the vet, where she got shot herself, antibiotic for the urinary tract infection that I had suspected, and they confirmed, and we had our usual Friday night pizza and a movie or Broadway show. I omitted the usual bottle of wine to go with the Friday night out at home.

Last night, I took an acetaminophen with hydrocodone at bedtime to help ease the remaining pain, and help with sleep. I definitely got more sleep last night, though I feel like I could have stayed in bed a bit longer. LOL.

There is still some residual pain, though not much in the left arm. The right arm is still worse, but definitely getting better. I expect it will take at least a couple more days on the right arm.

Rest in peace, RBG. Sad day for US, we've lost a champion for human rights and justice.

Good morning.
About 48 here at the moment, sunny with a high of 63 expected.
No special plans for today.
I can't wait for this to be over. There's no relief from the bad news. It's just exhausting.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! It's delightfully chilly today, and will stay fairly cool all day. I have nothing critical on the agenda but may do a little house cleaning.

I got both cars out for Sunday morning trips, about half an hour each. When I did my car, that half hour was split as I drove to a somewhat more distant Kroger store than our usual one, bought a few things, and returned home with my groceries.

Good morning;
39 degrees here with an expected high of 68. I got out my insulated vest, as work can get chilly, especially going in and out of the cooler.
Vix-A few of the trees have started to change out in the western part of the state. Mid Oct will probably be the best for leaf peeping. I love the fall, cooler weather, the colors, crisp air and wood fires.
I haven't been reading much. I think I read 2 books over the summer. There was a time when I read 2 or 3 books a week.
Time to get ready for work.
Have a great day!
