Hello my soggy Saturday peeps! Raining for the last six hours or so, very steadily. I did run in it this morning (pool is closed this weekend and next for HS state meets -- those poor kids will be miserable in this weather). It's a cold rain (well, cold for here) and we're getting some street flooding at this point. I ran my errands and I am in for the day. Lots of paperwork I can do, plus freelance and laundry. I planned to mow the lawn and wash the car. Car could be doable later today if it clears up. Lawn will have to be tomorrow when the sun comes out. Plenty to do in the six-month countdown to retirement. I have my lists and my dedicated notebook, with room for papers and other things I need to keep together. Lunch is BLTs (with turkey bacon...yes, I know. It is not the real thing. Does save some fat and calories, though). Dinner is ground turkey tacos with black beans.

We're digging out the sweatshirts & light jackets here. You'd think after weeks of heat indexes in the 90's and 100's that it'd feel good, but with the stiff breeze, it just plain feels cold. But, at least the sun is out.

Well, I got the car washed, though not waxed. No lawn mowed, either. Weather should be better tomorrow for both. Supposed to go into the 60*s next weekend. That would be good -- I have a race next weekend.

I got the leaves raked but didn't do too much else out in the yard it was chilly today. It was overcast and about 50 degrees and I got chilled. Tonight for dinner I roasted an assortment of veggies (parsnips, radishes, brussels sprouts, carrots, beets, cauliflower) and prepared a cube steak. It was a good filling meal and something different than what I have been eating lately.

Good Morning Kids! It was only in the 40's when I woke up this morning. Brrrrrrr! I'm layering up for church, as it's often cold in the building.

I got out early for a long bike ride, then waxed the car. Fixed French toast for breakfast, then threw in a last load of laundry. Lawn mowing will have to be later, once the lawn dries out.
I've got the docs done for the attorney meeting Tuesday, with a stop at a new grocery store planned for after that. We went there last week and were very pleased with the place and the prices. The produce was particularly spectacular. I want to make an Ina Garten recipe next week for corn and lobster cakes (I may substitute shrimp) and there's no local corn yet. I am hoping this store may carry some good corn.

Forgot to check in this morning. Wanted to get out the door early so I could stop and fill up my car with gas this morning. Rain changing to snow today. Oh joy.

Good Morning Kids! It's going to be another cool-ish day here. The high is "only" in the mid-70's, but around here, that's jacket weather.

Yesterday was another gorgeous day. I had a hard time driving to work because the sunrise was so beautiful, what do you mean stay in my lane I'm looking at the pretty purple and red clouds. The weather nerds are telling us this is coming to an abrupt end on Sunday and that we could see 6 weeks of rain, guess I better go find Noah and help him finish his boat.

Good Morning Kids! I'm still sleeping better with the cooler temps. And the best part is, we're saving on air conditioning and heat. Didn't need either yesterday, but I did run the A/C a bit last night while dinner was in the oven (too much heat can be a seizure trigger for DS).
The nasty weather has already begun back in the Midwest. DD says she's already had wind chill below zero. That's really early for that part of the country!

Good morning everyone. It was 59* at 0500 and has dropped to 41* in 6 hours. Slow rain. Have an echo-cardiogram today. Hoping my heart is pumping better. Rehab has been great exercise. Lost 61#. Thank you Lasix. I have been overweight for at least 8 years but going from 244# to 183# feels great.

What a day, peeps. Just here to see if I can sneak in some freelance. And make sure Ken does not slip away from us. Getting so thin, he can hide behind the window blinds and just listen in on everything we say.

Once I get through today the rest of the week should be better. Today is the last day for the drama queen that sits next to me. I will be so glad when she is gone, work should be so much quieter.

I went to Bed Bath and Beyond tonight after work and picked up a couple of blankets for the trailer. Between the coupons, a couple of partially used gift cards, and a credit on one of my credit cards there was no out of pocket expense to me.

Morning all. Cold today. The high today is our usual low for the day. Guess we are paying for all the above normal temperatures in October. Oh and some of the white stuff fell overnight.

Hiya peeps! The TV weather wonks are in a lather and a fury about the "falling" temps here -- should be in the 50s this weekend, after a rather soggy start today and possibly more rain tomorrow. Hang on....let my find my Ugg boots. I am racing Sunday, pool is closed tomorrow for the second half of the kids' state meet. So I may wind up riding my indoor bike and doing yardwork as my workout tomorrow.

And good morning my perfect weather peeps. Pool was closed for the HS meet, so I rode 30 minute interval training on my road bike, which is mounted to my OPS trainer indoors. Then, sweatshirt on, I went out for 45 mins of yardwork while running a load of laundry. Really fine weather, even if the TV weather weirdos are going batshit bonkers over the fall temperatures. Tomorrow's 6K race should be perfect weather-wise. And the distance is odd, I know. But the distance is around a local lake, beginning and ending at town hall. That's the distance around the lake, so that's the race. Kinda different.

Lots to do today so need to keep at it. I did get some bills paid this morning and then ran them, and Mom's mail, to the post office. After that I went and got a couple pictures of the grands printed out. Tomorrow is the funeral for the owner of where I worked for so long. I will be seeing a lot of long time work friends and I fully expect that we will end up going out for dinner someplace afterwards. I need pictures to show off the kids. A lot of these people I have known since before I had DD.
