We had Collin this morning so Sara, Pete and Ronan could go to the movies. It was a long morning! It also means I didn't get to walk. I'm going to walk tomorrow morning. I have to get out there early before it gets too hot.
Now I'm doing nothing but reading.

Aug 31Definitely, weight loss due to illness. I haven’t been able to eat much at all. Or exercise. Just enough to take these pain pills and muscle relaxers. I’m sure there will be a bounce. Appointment with the orthopedic doctor is Monday.

Kathy, I hope your appt tomorrow goes well. I can't imagine that much pain. Sending you love and hugs.
I did 5.0 miles in 120 mins this morning. My feet were crying, so I worked on their insoles, take out the old, put in some new and hope that works for my next walk … whenever that may be. Grandsons! School starts Wednesday for Ronan.
I ordered salsa for my soup the other day. I've use the same salsa for years and years. I received a different strange salsa. They gave me a refund. I ordered from a different vendor…same strange salsa came…it appears my salsa is no longer made…ugh! but no notice, I just can't find it anywhere! I tried the new salsa in this soup batch. Can't taste any difference, really. I so dis-like when stuff I've used for years is discontinued or changed. ugh!
I am finishing my coffee and I'm going to read now.
Later, my friends.

We had Colin this morning then I had my trainer for a 60 min workout. Ronan was here when I got home from my workout. He and Grandpa played video games until it was time to take him home.
I don't know if I told you guys, but it looks like my trainer is going to move to Tennessee to be near her son, DIL and Granddaughter this December. They are getting ready to sell their house here. I am so bummed! I've been seeing her for 12 years this year! She said she would show Pat how to help me. 😪
Oh, well…

We had Collin this morning. Ronan and SIL are here right now for the kid-trade.
Pat and I have appts to get our Covid shots and I have to get a blood draw today…so much fun!
Right now I'm drinking coffee and reading.

We had Collin this morning. Ronan is here now.
I had my trainer for a 60 min workout this afternoon. She is getting her house ready to sell…ugh!
Covid shots went great and so did the blood draw. I came back normal on all of the tests!! I did find out that I could make an appt for the blood draw!! I never knew that…the nurse that did my covid shot made one for me. I am so glad because the blood draw waiting room was packed. And they took Pat in right after me for his covid shot instead of 40 mins later when his appt was scheduled. They were so good to us!
The salsa I put in my soup has been discontinued. I am sad. The replacement isn't the same. No notice…ordered it with the picture of the jar…the replacement came and I told them they sent the wrong stuff. They refunded it. I reordered from another vendor and got the same replacement. I investigated and found out the company that made the salsa closed down. I am bummed.
That's it, my friends.

Kathy I hope the doctor finds something to help you. I am so bummed for you.
Chris you did tell us she was moving. I know it must be hard on you. And on her. To move and leave everything and everyone behind will be tough on her also. This is so sad.
I have been so busy. Working on the mountain cabin. Will tell you more later.

Shelley, yeah, I can't even think about what I'm going to do when she leaves. 😫
We had Collin this morning. I had my trainer for a 60 min workout this afternoon. Ronan is here now but about to leave with his folks for a fun weekend trip.
I just want to sleep in tomorrow morning. Weather is posted at 99 degrees for Saturday and 98 degrees for Sunday. I might do tomorrow but my phone has Sunday morning as cooler…ugh! I'll just have to wait and see.
Later my friends.

Chris it has been hot here also. I hate working in the heat. Here is a little of what we have been doing. There are exactly 100 boards.
The top board is so pretty. Wish more were like it. I think if I remember correctly we have run them through 6 times so far. Cuts 1/8 inch off at a time.

Shelley, it's so amazing what you guys do! So cool! My Grandsons would love to play in all the saw dust!
Today is Total Rest Day! I got to sleep until 9:20!! No walking for me…it is 94 degrees with no wind…pretty darn hot! I ordered groceries…will make soup this afternoon. Watched silly shorts and drank coffee. I did things so out of order that I forgot to take my morning meds until really late!! 😮
The kids are at a cabin with their friends a bit north of us on the coast. Pictures show they are having fun!
Well, I need to get to my book and some more coffee! Bye, for now!

Chris I bet they are having fun. And you were able to sleep in. Bonus! Playing in sawdust sounds more fun than it is. That stuff gets in everything. Your ears and eyes are the worst.
Little cooler today. HOA meeting. Then Rocky moved 6 dump trucks worth og gravel around with a skidster. Got some work on our tank done also.

I'm impresses with Rocky and his 6 dump trucks worth of og gravel! Even tho I don't know what og gravel is…that's a lot of gravel!
I got 5.39 miles done in 110 mins to the post office and back early this morning before it got hot. Out the door at 7:30! There were a ton of people out walking, too. Lots of pretty puppies too! The breeze was perfect.
I need to wrap birthday gifts for my trainer, Sara and Ronan. Their b'days are the 19th, 20th and 21st…ugh. Easy to get the gifts…Amazon is wonderful…sigh…lots to do this week. BUT right now I'm drinking coffee and going to try and finish the book I'm reading.
Bye for now.
