I drove up to the big city today after work and ran some errands. I was fairly successful except at Joann's, let's just say I can see why they declared bankruptcy. I wanted some rotary cutter replacement blades and there weren't any out on the racks. Two clerks decided that they probably did have them but that they were in a box somewhere in the back storeroom, who knows where. There solution was for me to order them online for in store pick up, then they would have time to find the ones they have. I told them I would not be driving 45 min each way for that and it would be nice if they would put their stock out so people could buy it. Dinner tonight was Arby's because the one in the big city is the closest one to where I live.

Good Afternoon Kids! It's been a busy day here so far. It was raining when DS caught his ride to work, but fortunately the rain quit before my appointment to get Speedy's nails done. Then, after I dropped the dog off back home, I headed out again & got both some New Guinea impatiens & some Double impatiens. Since Covid it just seems like there are fewer options than I used to be able to find, but these will do nicely. I'm putting my effort into the area in front of my house, because with the wedding & everything going on, we just might not have the time to get our vegetable garden in as we usually do. We'll see...

Good afternoon/evening peeps! It's been a long but very good day. Started with kickboxing, then home to make DH breakfast and fix him lunch to get out of the fridge, and then I vacuumed the house. Got a manicure and went right to PT. Then texted the grad dad and daughter from yesterday to see if they could do lunch (yes!) and after that, they went to play miniature golf and I had to grocery shop. I am glad I got to see them, as they will be heading out of the country for a few weeks.
I must have hit the grocery store at a good time, because it was not as bad as I expected. I fixed DH dinner (I skipped, since I ate late) and made cookie dough for baking tomorrow. I am also making cole slaw tomorrow, both after swim practice. Totally avoiding Walmart due to the holiday, but will pick up fish when that store opens.

11 a.m. and it is 90. Dang hot. Murder weather. I will head outside later to do yard work. Dinner is seafood -- DH enjoys his crab cake and I get spaghetti with clam sauce, butter and wine.

I have been wanting a good crab cake for SO long! All I can find is imitation crab cakes. Yuck. (I tried them and they were terrible!) Jealous!

Good Afternoon Kids! I just put a pie into the oven. Holiday weekend, yanno... I'm honestly not sure if we'll be using the grill this weekend or not. We're forecast for "hit or miss" rain showers, and I don't wanna deal with grilling AND ducking raindrops. We'll see. In good news, I tried on my MOB dress last night, and it still fits, but I am a bit worried about the hemline, as I might have to "kick out" the hem as I walk, because it's dragging a bit. We've already adjusted it once, but with all the sequins, etc. sewn into it, I fear the fabric is stretching again, and even if we altered the hemline one more time, I could still have the same problem on wedding day.

I slept in this morning which was needed. It's time to get off the computer and get dressed so I can get something done. I would like to work in the yard but we are having 30mph winds today. It's not like I don't have plenty to do inside anyway. My house love a little TLC.

It has stopped for now, I believe. But I woke up to rain, this morning. The kind that makes good sleeping weather.
I'm cooking a burger for lunch.

<cough><cough> The wind is blowing dust from freshly ploughed fields and pollen from the trees that have been blooming. I need to dust but can't see the point when the house smells like dirt. Instead I took an allergy pill and some cough syrup.<br>

I hate when that happens, Sharon. When you've got asthma or allergies, winds like that make it all worse. Hope you feel better soon. I got my flowers planted up by the house, but wow, is the humidity ratcheting up. The weather may be interesting here this weekend. Yes, I've lived in FL, but that doesn't mean I'm in love with humidity.

Tomorrow we are to get more rain. Not sure if it's storms or only rain.

Ugh. I disconnected my TV antenna because I had a booster connected, between the TV and the antenna. I read that boosters often interfere with your signal, so I decided to try it without the booster. Now I can't get the antenna reconnected.
Sometimes getting old really sucks! I get overwhelmed and frustrated so easily, these days.
The rain has temporarily stopped again, so that's good, I guess. But now its getting dark, so it really doesn't matter.
I'm pretty much over everything right now. I'm out of 'F's, for the time being.
Maybe I'll open my wine. I wish I didn't hate the taste of alcohol so much. (I'd probably be an alcoholic!) 😁
Have a good night!

Good Morning Kids! I got some sleep last night, but already feel like I could use a nap.
It's gloomy out this morning. The weatherman claims we won't get rain, but I'm not convinced.

Brunch is a party today! A lot of small food, since there will be barbecues later, I am sure.

I ran trails this morning, almost three miles, with no issues. Made blueberry French toast and the dishwasher is doing its thing right now. Burgers and the coleslaw for dinner tonight.

I did not sleep well last night at all. I was still wide awake at 4 AM, when I moved from the bed to the recliner. I did fall asleep for a few hours.
We have had several storms go through already this morning.

As I suspected, the weatherman lied. We got rain as I was driving to church, but at least it didn't last long. It's still gloomy out.

Thanks for brunch!
It seems odd to me, not wrong, just odd. That I haven't been invited anywhere, or to do anything, this weekend, at all. DD1 is out of town, camping. And DD2 is busy being Maid of Honor for her sister in law.
I get it. It doesn't upset me. It's just REALLY quiet. And that's noticable to me.
I think I'll make egg salad today. And do laundry. Perhaps change my sheets. But that's not likely. I don't think.
I tried to find out what is required to used the 2 built-in BBQs they have available, near the pool, but the only answer I got to my questions is, "I'm not sure.", which wasn't helpful. But I probably won't use them anyway. They're quite a ways away from my apt. And since it's just me, I'll do something else.
ENJOY!

I'll take a nap, if I get a chance, for sure.

Hello peeps, and a solemn and good Memorial Day to those in the U.S. . DH is a veteran who came home. So many did not. A light breakfast with some red, white, and blue to remember and reflect and thank those who served and still serve. We could not do this without them.

Happy Monday/Memorial day!
I'm SO glad I went to the cemetery on Friday, so I'm not fighting the crowds today!
Although the weather is nice today, it sure doesn't feel like summer.
The weather is weird now days.
