Pest control is scheduled to come to my apt today between 9-5. I just woke up and don't want to be awake. I need to get up and get things done. Ugh. I hope your day goes well. While there is always more that can to be done, I have completed enough that I won't be concerned when Pest control shows up, if they do. I need to dress, I'm doing laundry today and possibly changing my bedding. I got a new mattress cover, I have washed and need to put on. Pest control showed up and sprayed. I imagine I will be spraying more, as he did not spray thoroughly (IMO), or in every room. My fear is great. I don't want to see, or deal with any.

Hello Friday peeps! Got a short run in this afternoon, to prepare for Sunday's race. Dinner is in the oven (pork loin and sweet potato) and I will add some peas to that also. I am feeling a little nervous about Sunday, since I have not raced since February. But I am looking forward to returning to my normal, too. I will meet up with a friend afterwards for breakfast, so it will be a good day no matter how I finish.

I'm nowhere near running (walking, for me) competitively and worrying about the time. When I sign up for the race I want to know when they close the course. If it's an hour or a little more, I'm good.
I just want to finish.
So, kudos to you!

Up again in the middle of the night. Now that I am doing PT exercises daily I am getting unhappy twinges in my legs waking me up to go fix it. So ate a couple clementines for the potassium and doing less well on the hydrating part. Not as bad as the other day so I am not using my Emergen-C packet for a quick enough potassium hit. Bad thing is now I am awake and the kick from the magnesium in the pistachios that helped me go to sleep close to on time, seems to be over.
Making Breathe Easy tea now instead of Sleepy time as I know part of my issues are very unhappy sinuses. Not enough hydration, not enough mucus flow, and then painful sinus headaches which are never a good idea. Weather is changing yet again; we are back to a warmer cycle and perhaps more humidity. I want to run my dishwasher but will wait a few hours since I know it will disturb my downstairs neighbor who will be up soon enough. I hope the tea allows me to go back to sleep before she and her not quiet son are up and about.
Have a lot to work on since I did not do my file download and upload. Friend's car is running again, however he has a deep concern over the state of his brakes so no urgency on the files. And I realized as nice as it would be to cram in my bloodwork this morning, the results would be the same as me doing it on Monday. Hopefully I can schedule county medical transport as the lab is pretty close to me or find someone from church with sometime in the morning. Foggy enough at the moment that I do not trust myself to do it correctly now.

Hope to return to sleep in less than a half hour. Washed a few dishes and contemplating today's plans.

Hope to return to sleep in less than a half hour. Washed a few dishes and contemplating today's plans. Good luck, opti. Did not work as well as I hoped, but something prompted me to get up and clean out my desk drawer in case I had misplaced some stamps. So luckily I found some and I am also tossing out somethings and putting some stuff in the shred bin. Today I need to figure out bloodwork that has to be done and see if I can get there Monday somehow. So time to wake fully up and do some downloading and uploading of files. The nearby lab is open for about three hours this morning so I will try to give them a call in a couple hours. No one ever told me it would be so much work to be older. That there would be so much paperwork to do as well. I am making progress on my files, so I can file more stuff. Recycle some, shred some, and then file more because now there is more room in the file cabinet. <- Wish I had a weekend at the shore lined up in the next three weeks ... I could really use a change of scenery and those nice negative ions from the ocean rolling in

Morning my Saturday super peeps! I got a call last night to see if I could do my gun safety class this afternoon at my friend's house, where we did the practice shooting. A friend of his who can give the class and certificate is coming into town from Orlando to see his daughter for lunch and can give me the class one on one. So I think I will get that out of the way. I have my stuff ready for tomorrow, and DH's breakfast sandwich is done for tomorrow; I just need to fill the French press with ground coffee and he can do the rest. Dinner will be leftover pork loin from last night, black beans and rice and steamed broccoli. He can finish the pork and I will be fine with the beans, rice and broccoli as a pre-race meal. I never do each much the night before. I am getting my water today and I froze a few bottles to take tomorrow.

Crap, forgot about my phone carrier payment. I want to reduce costs, but I probably need to go in person somewhere. Thia ia the third month of the extra $5/mo which I think I am paying because they rolled out their own prepaid plan. Or was asked by the FCC to takeover some prepaid plan. Frustrating. This needs to be fixed before next month. I don't think county transport takes you to phone carriers, but I might ask on Monday. Crap. Being without a car requires lots of planning to get anything done. Still, I am thankful I live somewhere where it is an option. Oh well, off to a small trip walking and rollating before it gets too warm. There's an interesting car show on the Shore at season end and there used to be a Wildlife Art show as well in Sept. I don't like crowds so shoulder season works for me even if there is less sun and some things are closed already.

I don't plan on doing anything today. Although some days, that means more actually gets done.
I cancelled my debt card, so need to get cash from the bank, for groceries.
Perhaps I will boil some eggs. Egg salad sounds good.

I need to get busy. I want to get a few things done around the house before the big party tonight. DGD1 told me we are having pizza tonight with cheese and pepperini's, she can't say pepperoni.

did my rollate b4 a coupon expired. Spent a little more than planned but at least I've secured some more of my stevia sweetened ginger ale. Ate part of my lunch but need to make my salmon cakes or something else soon. Given the time I think I'll just finish off the last of the jasmine rice with black eyed peas and have some salad in a bit. Need to do my exercises although now I want to nap after my long walk.
Probably should water the plants outside. I knew the heat was getting to them, but for some reason did not think to water most of them except for my on sale mini rose. Basement drain may have been fixed, so maybe tomorrow I will bring up a few more of my pots.

I passed the gun safety course, so yay me. I also shot several other weapons, including a .357 Magnum. Nope. No thank you. That could knock a person into next week. I will be out at a race tomorrow, but will let y'all know how it goes when I get back.

Are you taking up shooting as a sport?

Problems sleeping again, I really need to focus more on hydration and ignoring the massive stress and fear. Will check my FSA balance and see if liquid Mucinex is in the budget. The one I have left that is almost gone, is a little too industrial for my stomach this month.
Emptying the dishwasher and doing minor stuff until the Mucinex and other stuff kick in. Hope it is not me using not so good old flour in my pot pie that is causing my body distress. Really should have used the last of the rice flour or whatever I have for thickening instead. Time to toss stuff that has needed to go for a while.

Good Morning Kids! It was a rough morning at church today, as a single mom died unexpectedly, leaving behind a teenage son. It looks like his grandparents are hoping to finish raising him, but it definitely reminds you that life is short. It is hot & humid here today, and we're likely to hit the nasty heat index numbers either today or tomorrow. Oh well, at least the sun is shining. I've got paperwork & projects to work on indoors.

Oh wow. I hope the grandparents are kind and generous. Big shock for the son and challenging with the school year beginning. Not sure on the weather here except continuing the warming trend into mid 80s. Not sure about heat index right now, I think Wednesday is projected to be in the 90s again. Really enjoyed our couple of days where the high was in the 70s.

Hiya peeps! It was a great race! No podium (I was fourth , in a 10-year age grouping) but I am OK with that for not having raced since February. It was hot, but there was a lot of shade in the park. Had a very nice breakfast (salami and eggs, yum!) and got home about two hours ago. No pain in the knees or back. Laundry is running and shower is done. Too wet here for yardwork, but will mow tomorrow. Tonight is fried shrimp. DH will have pasta and peas with his and I will finish the black beans, rice and broccoli with mine.

I've been on call all week and got my first weekend call, at 1:30am. It took me about 1 1/2 hours to resolve the issue. I'm tired. My neighbor stopped by while I was at the store this morning and dropped a bunch more corn and the largest cantaloupe I have ever seen. Yesterday I picked 4 large bowls of grapes out of the yard so need to get busy turning them into grape juice. I have plenty of grape jelly left from last year. My main goal is to finish vacuuming and mopping the house but not sure all that will get done.

Feels like temp of 88, which makes sense. I am tired and sweating. The person ahead of me took the dryer for over an hour so luckily the closer laundry room's dryers were available. And I have a little indigestion from starting this right after eating the rest of last night's pot pie. Took longer to warm up in the oven than I expected.

I have a cantaloupe in the fridge to cut up; thanks for the reminder.

I weighed the cantaloupe on the bathroom scale 12.6 lbs. I think I've bought watermelon that weigh less than that.

Sigh, why does everything need a website and a login. Just created my account for PT and it looks like I supposed to login everyday or more to note I've done my exercises? I am getting close to overwhelmed with all these bloody websites I have to learn and manage. I'm not done configuring the disability insurer one, I haven't mastered my health conglomerate one, and now I have this. Is it wrong I miss the old days when someone would have just handed me a few xeroxes of exercises I needed to do and that would be it? Crap
