    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!

    We have 24C partly cloudy degrees. The forecast for the day calls for a mix of clouds and sun with a slight chance of thunderstorms this afternoon. High 32C. Winds W at 10 to 15 km/h. Chance of rain 30%. Scattered thunderstorms during the evening, with mainly clear skies after midnight. Low 23C. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 40%.

    Lunch yesterday was at a nearby Vietnamese restaurant. I made the mistake of trying a bite of Jason's lunch and I am pretty sure it was wheat tofu, so I'm paying for that. Breakfast this morning was cold cereal and a Spam Single, slightly warmed in the microwave. Pineapple was the juice of the day.

    Lunch will be the leftover grilled pork and steamed rice from yesterday's lunch.

    The scale was very friendly this morning, with a number lower than I've seen since colonoscopy prep time.

    I think the Mounjaro and bit of additional exercise is doing well for me for now.

    good morning

    Ed, wishing you continuing success with the Mounjaro. Yay you! Also, most soy sauce has wheat in it, so it could've been that. Irene, it's been sweltering here too. Hooray for your pool, and hooray for A/C! Jo, hope all is well, probably wicked hot there too.

    It's 79F, 26C. A mix of clouds and sun this morning then strong thunderstorms this afternoon. High 87F, 31C. Finally down from the 90s! whew! Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70%. Localized flooding is possible. We went for a short walk in the park yesterday morning (found out the park doesn't open until 8 a.m.). Exercised at home. Went to the Farmer's Market in town with a friend. She bought some of the Lions Mane mushrooms that I was a little hesitant to try, so I'll have her opinion once she cooks them. 😊 Wishing all a pleasant Thursday. πŸŒžπŸŒ»πŸŒ‚πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ˜Ž Stay cool.

    good morning

    Irene, I hope you didn't have any damage from the storm. We had a big storm last night too, with flood warnings, but no floods in our area. All is well. Hi Ed and Jo.

    It's 63F, 17C. Cloudy skies. Slight chance of a rain shower. High near 75F, 24C. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. A day's reprieve from the heat! 😊 Yesterday, we went for a walk in the morning. I took a drive and emptied the kiln in the afternoon, picked up mine, and a friend's pieces. Maybe will meet up with her today and bring them. I have a cardiologist appt this afternoon. It's totally overcast at the moment, will see what else the day brings. Wishing all an easy Friday. β˜οΈπŸŒ‚πŸŒ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

    Howdy al y'all. It's fabulous Friday!

    We have 23C partly cloudy degrees, expecting partly cloudy early followed by scattered thunderstorms this afternoon. High 33C. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 km/h. Chance of rain 50%. For the evening and overnight, scattered thunderstorms early, then cloudy skies after midnight. Low 22C. Winds N at 10 to 15 km/h. Chance of rain 60%.

    My very light supper was a slice of Spam and a large roll with a little butter. A deconstructed sandwich if you will.

    Breakfast was a bowl of cereal and some bacon, orange juice to drink.

    Today Ruby is officially 1 year old and to some that means no longer a kitten. But she's still a kitten by her activity. It was a rocky first year but we came through it and she seems fine.

    Work beckons.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sensational Saturday!

    We have 23C Cloudy degrees with a forecast calling for cloudy with occasional showers this afternoon. Cooler. High near 25C. Winds E at 10 to 15 km/h. Chance of rain 40%. An isolated thunderstorm possible this evening, then occasional showers overnight. Low around 20C. Winds ENE at 10 to 15 km/h. Chance of rain 50%.

    I slipped out to bring some things to the bins and there is a light mist in the air, barely noticeable.

    We welcome the slightly cooler weather! More rain would be nice too. We did get a little this week.

    I'm glad the weekend is here!

    Supper last night was from Pizza Hut. So was my breakfast this morning, gluten free crust with chicken sausage and bacon. Orange juice to drink.

    My mug of tea beckons.

    good morning

    Ed, happy birthday to Ruby, time flies, seems like she just arrived recently. Nice to get to the weekend and no work. Irene, today is cooler here too, so nice! Hi Jo, hope all is well.

    It's 73F,23C. It was 66F, 19C when I got up this morning. 😊 Sunshine and clouds mixed. High 78F, 26C. Winds light and variable. Yesterday I had an appt with the cardiologist and all is well, don't have to go back for a year. Then I met a friend from clay class for a late light lunch (salad), and brought her finished clay pieces for her. It was fun. We've been for a walk, and will see what else the day brings.

    It has finally cooled off. The current temp is 55F with a high of 83F. Yesterday was a beautiful day. I weeded one of my flower beds and then sat outside to read for a while. Ed-happy birthday to Ruby. I am glad she is doing better. Vix-It is good that you don't have to go back to the cardiologist for a year. Irene- I hope you didn't get any damage from the storms. Not sure what we are doing today, but I am sure we will have fun. Enjoy your day!πŸ˜€

    It's 56F, 13C, so nice! Sunshine to start, then a few afternoon clouds. High 82F, 28C. Winds light and variable.

    We have 19C cloudy, rainy degrees. The forecast says rain early...then remaining cloudy with showers in the afternoon. High 22C. Winds E at 15 to 25 km/h. Chance of rain 90%. Rainfall around 6mm. Then for the evening and overnight, overcast. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. Low 18C. Winds E at 10 to 15 km/h. Chance of rain 24%.

    My supper last night was some gluten free meatballs drizzled with tomato basil spaghetti sauce, and a large gluten free roll.

    Breakfast was some granola with milk and a couple of sausage patties.

    Despite the rain, I need to get to the grocery this morning. We are planning a spa outing this afternoon as well.

    Best get to drinking this tea, eh?

    Good morning;

    It is currently 58F with a high of 87F. Yesterday we spent most of the day sitting on the deck. My daughter brought over 2 large eggplant and Charlie made eggplant parmesan for dinner. It was yummy.Ed-I hope you had an enjoyable spa day. Vix-I am sure you had fun at the fair. Irene-did you get any pool time over the weekend. Today I have already dusted, vacuumed and washed the kitchen floor. I am a morning person and am most productive in the early hours. Later today I may go to Kohl's to pick up a few things. Have a good day!πŸ˜€

    Ed, sounds like you're getting some cooler weather. Jo, glad you got some time to relax, Eggplant parmesan, yum! You do get a lot done in the mornings. Have fun at Kohl's. Irene, hope all is well.

    It's currently 61F, 16C. Mostly sunny, high near 85F, 29C. Winds light and variable. I have a rheumatologist appt this morning, then we're going away for a couple of days. I'll get everything ready when I get back. Wishing all a bright shiny new week. πŸŒžπŸŒ»β›°οΈπŸ•ŠοΈ

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!

    We have 18C (feels like 17) cloudy degrees. The forecast for the day calls for showers this morning, becoming a steady rain during the afternoon hours. Heavy and torrential downpours at times. High 19C. Winds ENE at 10 to 15 km/h. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall around 6mm. Evening and overnight, rain. Heavy and torrential downpours at times. Low 17C. Winds ENE at 10 to 15 km/h. Chance of rain 80%. Rainfall around 12mm.

    Sounds like a good day to stay inside.

    We went to a different Korean spa yesterday. It was lovely, but most of the dry saunas, aside from the ice room, had no benches and nothing to assist in getting down on to the mats or up from them. Some assistance rails would have been nice.

    We had lunch at the spa. Jason had a tofu and veggie stir fry dish that came with steamed rice. I had roasted eggs (3) and French fries since I didn't feel I could trust any of the stir fry dishes not to have wheat. I think next time, assuming we ever eat there again, I'll have the roasted eggs again but with steamed rice. I had hoped for an area with at least some light workout equipment, but could not find anything like that.

    Supper last night was a couple of gluten free corn dogs with mustard. Breakfast this morning was a meat lovers breakfast bowl, orange juice to drink.

    My tea beckons.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!

    We have 19C cloudy degrees with showers in the vicinity. The forecast calls for a steady rain this morning. Showers continuing this afternoon. High 22C. Winds ENE at 10 to 15 km/h. Chance of rain 100%. Rainfall possibly over 25mm. Cloudy this evening with showers after midnight. Low 18C. Winds ENE at 10 to 15 km/h. Chance of rain 50%.

    My joints can definitely feel the rain in the vicinity!

    It's going well so far with week two on the Mounjaro. I've done my few additional exercises this morning.

    Supper last night was long grain and wild rice with chicken. Lunch will be the same. Breakfast was maple brown sugar oatmeal with link sausages on the side, pineapple juice to drink.

    My tea, and work beckon.

    I need to get to my exercises before I forget.

    Supper last night was my meatless taco salad. Breakfast this morning was some hominy grits with cheese and a couple of boiled eggs. Orange was the juice of the day.

    Work has already started so back to it.

    It is currently 76F and sunny. It was such a nice day yesterday that I turned off the AC and opened the windows. Ed-good for you getting you exercise done. I have been using lb. weights to try and strengthen by arms and shoulders. I am glad the Mounjaro is agreeing with you. Vix-I hope you are enjoying your time away. Hi Irene. I am going to get a new inspection sticker for my car today. The current one is good until the end of the month, but I might forget if I wait. Enjoy your day.πŸ˜€

    hello,

    Ed, nice that you go for spa days. 😊Glad the Mounjaro is working for you. Jo, it was a nice little get-away with our daughter and her children to Deep Creek Lake. It was great weather high 60s to 70. I needed the cool! Our daughter rented a pontoon boat one day and we went riding around the lake, which was fun. She and the kids jumped in a couple of times, but it was a little chilly getting out! The kids tried fishing at a state park, and we went to the nature center. It's good to be back home.

    It's 77F and cloudy here. Looks like 80s for the rest of this week and into the 90s next week. πŸ₯΅ I need to get an x-ray tomorrow, but otherwise have a free day. Wishing all a good evening. πŸŒ»πŸ•ŠοΈ

    I'm wanting a lazy day today but really could stand to do some housecleaning.

    But hey, housecleaning is exercise, right?

    Ruby was helping me compute this morning. She eventually fell asleep with her head on my keyboard. I turned the wireless keyboard off so she couldn't accidentally type anything.

    My mug of tea is beckoning. No cats are on the desk at the moment, though Dinah did wander by my feet a few minutes ago.

    I need to do my bit of exercise too.
