Today is supposed to be another heavy rain day. I am not ready for winter commuting, dark rainy mornings. This morning I did something I didn't think I would ever do, or at least not until I was much older, and ordered groceries online for pickup at the store after work. I am so tired and some of the everyday living tasks are just too overwhelming at the moment.

Good Morning Kids! I approve of getting groceries online when life is busy, Sharon. Hopefully things will settle down for you soon. On Sunday, when coming home from church, we got caught in a downpour while driving on the highway. Frankly, I was surprised how slick the roads were. I'm guessing, when the roads were put in, they don't do anything to the surface to make it less slippery, like ridges, like they do back in the Midwest. A firetruck even rolled, which made the news here.

Good Afternoon Kids! It's been a full day, but there's still more on the calendar here to do. One thing that amazes me about this part of the country: it can take a long time to get an initial appointment at a doctor's office, but once you get in, if you want to schedule some sort of procedure, they get you on the schedule quickly.

Greetings my weekend peeps! Been busy today - stopped after my regular chores to pick up some new jeans. First thing the clerk said to me when I walked in was to helpfully point out which types of jeans were located on which tables (it's a Western-wear store, so there were a lot of them). Second thing he says: we can shorten any pair in store, free of charge. He had me sized up, all right. Turns out nothing has changed: I am still a 29 inseam.

We could always put you on a rack and stretch you like they did in the medieval days!! Heck, now that I mention it I may be off to find me one of those racks

It's raining again and supposed to be fairly steady rain all day. DSIL has said they are having trouble getting the last of the combining done due to it being so wet. Yesterday was a nice day and DD and kids came up for the day. We even took the kids over to the pool for a little bit. The water was on the cooler side and the little guy was getting cold. DGD calls all liquids milk. As we were leaving the pool she kept saying bye-bye milk. Today will be spent getting some of the chores done around the house that I normally do on Saturday but didn't get done yesterday.

Just taken my inaugural shower in my remodeled bathroom. I am very pleased with my decision to get rid of those claustrophobic sliding doors over the tub and replacing them with a curved curtain bar. The rest of the bathroom turned out very nice as well, but it is those little things...

Did a bike ride early; a very windy day, but got it done. Fixed pancakes for breakfast and tried that coffee we bought last week. It drinks much mellower than it brews, I must say. I am finishing up laundry, including washing the jeans I bought yesterday. I need to finish mowing the lawn later this afternoon. Weather looks good for it.
Dinner is both meatloaf and chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I don't have enough meat for a big meatloaf, so DH can have it tonight, along with the leftovers, as he loves a cold meatloaf sandwich. I am fine with eating chicken pretty much every day.

Good Afternoon Kids! The sun is out, but it feels "cool" for this part of the country. But definitely comfortable. Good turnout at church this morning.

Good Morning Kids! The temps are comfortable here once again. DS went to see one of his specialists this morning. His seizures are infrequent, but the doctor is trying to stop them completely, so we're going to try to add one more medication to what he's already taking.

We are into the final countdown for go live on the big project this weekend. They are presenting it to the administration this morning for their blessing and I think it also has to go before another committee also for approval. I know that even after we go live there will be issues that crop up, there always is. There are also some part of the project that we shoved into a phase II of the project that will still need to be done. There are several of us who are also taking vacation the second week of October so it will be waiting for us when we get back.

Good Morning Kids! Again, the temps are more comfortable here. Got a bit of sticker shock on the price of DS's newest medication.

Good morning everyone.
So far in retirement, since 2010, our meds are free or $11. Up until my CHF 7/1 I was only on 2 meds. Now I'm on 5 more. Only problem one is Entrestro for my heart. It will cost me $20 a day. Cardiologist has been sending justifications to the insurance company and giving me samples. But this can't last long.
