walked MIL's dog then walked with my friend this evening(after working in the garden)- at almost 15,000 steps today- will have that before going to bed, even if I have to run to the corner and back or jog in place for a bit.
Tomorrow I should get about the same- walking MIL's dog and then zumba tomorrow night.
It really cooled down compared to yesterday. Asthma is trying to kick in so will grab a hot steamy shower and will feel better.
Need to get to bed early so I can be over at MIL's early in the morning. Need to walk the dog while dh has a video call with her doctor then he and I are going to go buy a new recliner. The one he was going to sleep in(to be in the room with her) broke last night. Tonight he is in the other one that has no electrical outlet so no CPAP plus has to leave the hall light on so she doesn't trip again. Not sure why the light is bugging him tonight- he falls to sleep here with the light on every night.

We live beside the Columbia River. Water levels are high. So far we are okay. Keeping my fingers crossed that water levels remain moderate. 🙏🏻

I am catching up after a couple of days of not taking notes. I spent Friday evening with Rodger and yesterday I went to visit a 2nd cousin of mine and didn’t get home until 10pm.
Unexpected Guests - I would not be surprised at all to have my brother show up at my door some day. He keeps telling me that he’s going to. I don’t worry about surprise visitors though and wish that people stopped in unexpectedly more often. I miss the days of unplanned things.
Rebecca - that sounds like a wonderful day.
Barbie - Hugs to you and Jake. Pets are our family.
Michele - I put $50 in my car and it only gave me a half tank. My cousin texted me the other night that it cost $150 for her husbands half ton.
The prices really need to come down.
Allie - I like your new picture.
Heather - I need to do my roots too. I should go get the dye for that and maybe a burger on my way home.
Lisa - I’m glad the visit turned out well.
Katie - You’re dealing with a lot right now, sorry about the cat.
Carla - congratulations to your daughters team.
Ginny - that is a long walk. My back would be killing me.
Carol - I don’t know how people are going to eat. This is getting pricy.
Kylia - I wouldn’t be taking my vehicles there either.
I did a deep clean of my house today, it was the first time in a looooong time. I am sure I’ll be feeling it some tomorrow. I talked to me exercise therapist on Friday, when I told her that walking at the fair last weekend hurt for 2-3 days she told me that it’s a good sign. I’m healing, it’s not setting me back, I just have more to go before I’m pain free. It’s been a journey. Kaitlyn will be married three years on July 6th and that was the day I got injured.
I’m watching a special I had recorded on PBS called Clint Black the hits and the Mrs. His wife is Lisa Hartman, from Knots Landing days. She still looks ok.
Their daughter is singing too and she has a beautiful voice.
Im mentally preparing myself for the week ahead. It’s supposed to rain everyday from today until next Wednesday. I hope the forecast is wrong.
Tomorrow Rodger and I will be married 35 years. It sure doesn’t seem it in some ways, in others it seems like 80.

Happy anniversary Tracey~~ I totally understand what you mean. Dh and I will be having our 30yr anniversary in Sept- sometimes it doesn't seem that long but oh, other times, at least 80!~3 -

Happy Anniversary Tracey!
I always have to stop and think how long my husband and I have been married because we got married in Canada where I was living, and 10 days later he returned to Australia. We didn't live together until 9 months into our marriage. So usually, I feel like we haven't been married as long as we have been.

Tracey in Edmonton, Happy Anniversary!

I received a jury duty notice a few weeks ago, but I don't have to report (according to the website and juror status phone line). Last time I was called, I had to report, but wasn't chosen, so spent all day sitting in a courtroom while the attorneys made their decisions. This time I didn't have to report at all. Yay!

Happy anniversary Tracey!

Tracey Happy Anniversary! Great picture!
Unexpected guests- I miss those days when folks would just stop by. My thought is I am stopping to see the person, not their house. I quit stressing about overnight guests. Wipe down bathroom and fresh sheets on guest bed and I am good to go.
Dh and I are approaching our 13th wedding anniversary, but have been together for 28 years. WOW!
Time to get ready for work. Have a great day!
Stay cool in the hot places and warm where cold (Machka)

Good morning ladies!
Tracey Happy anniversary!
Katla I'm sure you are keeping a sharp eye on that river. Do you have a basement? Can you move valuables off the ground floor? Do you have an evacuation plan? The whole thing is worrisome.
I'm another one with guest anxiety. But my cousin went back to California, and looking back it was a great visit. Except that I ate the cookies and muffins. Oh well time to start over again.
My uncle is doing very well. Yay! Thanks for your concern.
Have a great day!

Hoping to hear from my corrector soon. taxes are due tomorrow. Some other material stuff to tend to. Took care of sending accounts to dentist. there was a glitch and they said they were unable to access their accounts (!!!???) so I had finally tended to that this morning. I have some big stuff to take care of in addition to the writing, and some people who say one thing then another.
WorkThe employeurs I work for are very reputable schools but regularly trying to pull one over on the employees and reduce working conditions. One has to have a lot of effort to even keep the status quo, which is very modest pay. Now they and other schools around the country are ceasing contracts and just hiring sorts of adjuncts (but worse I think) with no legal rights (no vacation, unemployment, representation) nor anything.
Sorry that your work situation isn't very good. Are there other schools which are better?
How is the thesis for your doctorate going? Are you able to tell us generally what area it is in - like Literature, Science, etc.

Good morning ladies!
Tracey - Happy Anniversary!
Rebecca - Happy Birthday!
Barbie - Happy that Sasha will be closer to home when her time comes. I too broke down when I called to let the groomer know Sophie wouldn't be making her appointment. She had already passed a couple days before. I've taking our dogs to the same groomer for over a decade.
Katiebug and Beth - my thoughts are with you every day as you care for your aging parents and their challenges.
Karen - I always thought it would be neat to sit on a jury. But now that I get squirmy when I sit too long and have the opportunity to visit the bathroom whenever I feel the urge, it doesn't sound so enticing.
Kylia - your mechanic woes gave me the shivers. Our town had a great little automotive repair shop, they took great care of my Subaru. Within the past year they sold out to another, larger regional shop - which I hope does the same great service, but a person never knows. Other than oil changes and obvious problems, I tend not to do much routine maintenance on my car, especially since I only put a couple thousand miles on it a year.
Machka - loved that "first step" meme. Do what we can today, tomorrow will fall into place.
Carol - I'll pay attention to the price of onions next time I'm at the store. I'm trying really hard to keep the grocery bill down by fixing old family favorites: meals I grew up on before processed and convenience foods were available. I planted yellow storage onions in a large container/tub a month ago - they did fine last year and I had nice medium sized onions well into this spring. Not sure what I'll get this year with the cool wet weather.
Yesterday I had a neat chat with my neighbor across the street, Roger. He and DH were well acquainted, but I didn't know him that well other to say Hi. He's ready to help me with ditch cleaning, weed burning, etc. And he had all kinds of good ideas and advice on many topics.
FACT: Most people love it when you ask their advice about something.
I feel like I'm now in the enviable position of having the best of the husbands in my neighborhood without having to cook and clean for them and do their laundry, lol.
COFFEE: I'm thinking of retiring the Keurig and going back to Mr. Coffee and just buying ground coffee again. The Keurig was given to us as a gift several years ago. The pods were more expensive, but the convenience was good. I'll pull the Mr. Coffee off the shelf in the garage, dig out the filters and give it a whirl again. We had a trick with drip coffee - as soon as it was done, we'd pour some into our mugs and the rest immediately went into a thermos. That way, it never had the "cooked taste" from sitting on the warmer.
OK better close. Hugs to all! Make it a great day!

Chilly SW WA State where it's 48 degrees out, expected high today 58, the furnace is on, thermostat set to 66. Living room is 63 degrees and I'll put on more layers. If I could box this weather up and send it to those of you in the cooker like Rita and Okie, I surely would!
