I started running again today, after 8 weeks of rehab - it was a slow jog, more or less. But hey, running shoes on at least! No pain felt, so I am happy with this. Made a sausage, egg and cheese quiche and biscuits (well, Dolly Parton made the biscuits), and we got out to Costco.
Laundry is now running and I have emptied the house trash baskets.

Aw, busymom, thanks! That is certainly too fabulous to eat! Just leaving the awful job jail was enough of a birthday gift.

Wait 'til you don't have to wake up for work, NancysSummerSip. All week long. That'll be the real gift. It is sunny today, which usually amps up my energy. And, warm enough out to open some windows & air out the house. I've got laundry to do, and paperwork to purge, so that should keep me occupied.

We've had heavy rain here, all morning. I fell back asleep until 11AM. I then woke up and ate my leftovers from last night. I'm almost ready for a nap.
I'm blaming it on the rain, overcast skies and sleeping weather. Not on my lazy, unmotivated attitude.
Thanks for brunch, Nancy.
I need to go get groceries, or I'm going to start losing weight and not by choice.
Enjoy your day!

Sunny day here. Nice to not be worrying about the roof.

I still plan to get up early for workouts; I prefer to get those done early. I do have a schedule all ready to go. Tomorrow's day is revamping the resume, calling for a gyno appt and calling a local grocery store HR to find out why I cannot submit an application online and applying with the school system for a non-classroom position.

7PM and it's STILL raining. No break in the rain, at all today. Although it may be slightly lighter now. I'm not sure.
The amount of miserable it creates is unchanged.
I'm glad your roof isn't leaking @theotherme. That must be such a relief.

I thought it was raining all day here. But NO, it snowed, SO much! My DGDs built a snowman in their back yard. Their dad just mowed the grass yesterday!
Yeah. Global warming is fake.🙄

Climate change is definitely happening here. We already had our bump into 80s early, in April instead of beginning of May. Today's high is low 70s and then 80s for Tues and Wed.
Where are you TMR that it is that cold? I think its low 50s right now in my area.

And it's STILL raining! I am so tired of the rain.

Temp before (prev post about temp), was at about 3AM. The temp at 5:15AM is 35° and feels like 28°!

At least I think it's raining. It sounds like rain. But I thought it was raining all day yesterday when it was snowing.
It should be summer!

And it's STILL raining! I am so tired of the rain. It rained most of the day yesterday which made doing laundry tough. I thought I had waited log enough, but of course it started raining again when I went to pack up my dry laundry. Was signing my lease, but now they want us to sign all these individual pieces. I stopped when I hit the dog policy as I do not have a dog. I initialed the emotional support animal one, but the dog one seemed too much given i don't have a dog, don't plan to get one and Moon Shadow is dead. The only critters I have had generally did not like being outside of their cages, Moon Shadow included.

It poured all day yesterday and we got double our average May rainfall in one day. I pretty much spent yesterday sleeping and I needed it. Now I seem to be fighting another bug, hopefully it will be short lived with all the sleep I've gotten.

Today will be interesting. I need a nap.

I know I have been so tired lately and I think my body has finally said enough, stop, you need some rest.

Good Morning Kids! It is sunny & pleasant here today, so I'd better get something done, because tomorrow the rain is supposed to return.

I made good coffee again today! I'm glad I kept my Keurig now. I can always get rid of it at a later date. It's odd that I don't (never have) felt any effects from the caffeine. I oftentimes wish I did.

How are your knees doing @nancy? How's your well doing, Sharon ? Doing well! I have eight more sessions with the PT. Did some slow running Sunday and it went well.
Did a lot of yardwork this afternoon. I trimmed along the back fence and raked up all the dead leaves. Have not spent that much time raking since I lived up north.

I'm taking my car, to get a new battery. I was planning to wait and see if I have more trouble with it, first. But DSonIL arranged for me to get one, at cost from the garage/shop near their house. So I will. Then I don't have to worry about it. He said he will pay for it. But I always pay him back.
I need to get going.

Just ordered a new fan. I keep my thermostate for my a/c on 73. It's currently 74 outside. It's 70 inside. I got out my fan. I remember last fall I had decided it needs replacement. While it is working, it is making all kinds of strange noises.
Then I get to figure out how to get rid of it because everything has to fit in the trash bin with the lid closed and this won't do that.

Can you take the front of the cage off and remove the blades, to make it fit?

Maybe post it for free on Buy Nothing or FreeCycle, say it's a little noisy but works... porch pickup.

My battery light hasn't come back on, since Saturday, when it reset. I'm at a different shop now, getting it checked again. I'm not replacing it, if I don't need to.
When I got here, the place was fairly empty. Now there are a lot of people here. 10 customers in the waiting area, that I can see.
I plan on buying some utility shelves from someone on FB later today. I hope they are what I'm expecting.
The shelves I had in my storage closet and my garage, were discarded when they moved me. I need some for my current storage closet, so everything isn't piled on top of each other. Then I can find stuff and get to it. That is my hope.
I'm kind if looking forward to straightening out my storage closet. It will be nice to know what I have and where.
When I wrapped DGD's birthday present, I had to use packing tape, because I couldn't find where my wrapping tape had been put. 😳
