Good morning, Lana,

A little tip--Lay your ham slices out on paper towels and dry them well before trying to spread the cream cheese. If you buy the really good deli ham (like sliced in front of you) instead of packaged ham (Great Value Brand Black Forest 2 lb pack is what I buy for the Lodge), you can probably skip this step because it is not as wet.

I cut my pickles in half lengthwise so the rolls are tighter for the Lodge. When I make them just for me, I use the good deli ham sliced a little thicker and use the pickle spears as they come out of the jar. If you get your ham sliced on #3 per the chart at the store, two of these rolls makes a meal.

Sorry if that is too much information.

Sunny and warm here today. Calm between the storms. Expecting 1-2 inches of rain for Mother's Day.

Good morning!
I do believe cream cheese with anything makes it yummy
Sorry to hear how hot it is Sara, that is hard weather to take. In winter one can always cuddle up with blankets or wear warm clothing. It is so hard to stay cool in hot muggy weather.

Happy Friday y’all ! So I survived so far since my second shot two weeks ago. But man I’m out of shape. Mowed the front lawn and got palpitations. I definitely need to work out more and eat better. I just don’t get it I could do Zumba before shots now I mow the yard and palpitations. I have a doctors appointment next month going to bring it up. Part of me is regretting getting those shots but who knows maybe it’s just a coincidence. I did get palpitations before but rarely. Seems like I have them once a week now. I think it’s over due to get back on track. I was going to cancel my gym membership because I’m running in a million directions but think I need it to get back into shape. I’m definitely not in my 20’s anymore mid 30s now.

I see my new primary June 1st. I did see a cardiologist in the past. Passed out trying to sprint a 1.5 miles. Not a good idea. I had depleted almost all potassium by drinking too much water. The ct scan they did at the hospital showed I might have an enlarged heart. But after a mri later on that wasn’t the case. Wore a heart monitor for a month too. Heart is good but that was 10 years ago. But I’m definitely out of shape. Thank you!

I’m thinking of adding B12, and Zinc vitamins to my daily intake. Thinking about a fish oil pill. I already take a Vitamin D3 pill. But thinking it might be a better idea to wait for the doctor visit.

Tracked this mornings breakfast and making my grocery list with more fruits and vegetables.

Lana - I’ve been watching documentaries on YouTube lately and watching shows on Discovery Plus mostly Life Below zero, Homestead Rescue, My Fixer upper reruns, etc.

Sara - how did Olive Garden go? Love their food but go once in a blue moon.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

Anyone can add me!

Happy Mother's Day to you and/or your mom. I was back on the wagon this morning--5 lbs up since I left for FL and Spring Break on March 25. Lots of exercise but I ate cake 1-2 times a day for at least a week. And today, my son brought me a piece of cheesecake as a Mother's Day gift. I enjoyed it. I'll just have to wait another week to hit my goal, perhaps around this time next year. I will get there.

My house is almost empty and tomorrow some company I hired will move and dump the big stuff I'm not taking. I've done 4 runs to the dump myself, with a full carload, and have 2 more left. So. Much. CRAP. I won't let that happen again. I'm downsizing and may not have any of my kids living with me, which will make it easier to keep stuff out of my house. I'm a minimalist but they are not I am only taking clothes, photos, personal stuff, and very little else, on my move. Still filled up a UHaul Box/pod. But just one. I will get furniture when I'm there. I'm downsizing, finally.

So I had to take a week off of running after doing my usual run from the distance I had reached in FL, but the hills here wore me out and my legs hurt like they never do anymore. But yesterday's jog to test the waters (half distance) went well. I've gotten a lot of exercise with packing and moving, but not what I love and enjoy--long walks and decent jogs. So I'm glad to be back at it.

After tonight, I will be a nomad--maybe renting some place for the last 4 weeks of the school year, maybe doing an extended stay at a local hotel. Just Skye and me. And clothes for a few weeks, computer, cpap, meds, dogfood, toothbrush/paste/hair brush--not much else. I can travel pretty light.

I skimmed from last week and will try to stay current for now. Hoping you are all doing well.
