Good Morning Kids! After I bang my head on the desk a few times, I'll be fine, honest... I got to the SS office today, & dropped off paperwork to try & help DS. The biggest problem I have with them, is they never tell you what to do in many situations, but if I press them enough, they'll tell me what NOT to do, which is a very confusing head game, but I hope I'm making decisions that'll help DS instead of penalizing him. Glad I took an Advil before I left the house this morning. Now I need a drink, but I'll wait until later.

I have a doctor appt today. I feel like I'm just jumping through hoops. No real need to go, but I'll ask.

Peeps, it's 110 out there. I think I am sticking to myself at this point. I did get the front lawn mowed and edged before the batteries quit. I am good with that for today. I did also vacuum the rugs this morning and do the grocery shopping. I am drinking a mix of club soda and grape Gatorade. Sparkly Gatorade, I guess. It's actually good. I recently heard about people mixing wine and Gatorade, calling it Gatorwine. Oh. Hell. No.

I have some things to do tonight after dinner, and then I am going to reward myself for hard work. I have those gift cards to use (the ones I got at the race) so I may go shop online a bit.

I have a doctor appt today. I feel like I'm just jumping through hoops. No real need to go, but I'll ask. Went to dr appt. Discussed tests that have been suggested I get. Decided they aren't necessarily needed, so I'll pass, for now. All is good. Yay!

Brr... I feel like winter is just around the corner. I'm not ready!
This will be the first winter in years, I won't be driving to DD2's (an hour each way), to watch my grands.
I miss them already.

Good Evening Kids! I did take a walk this evening, but I wore a mask, as you can still see & smell the smoke in the air. My next door neighbor happened to be outside (she's a runner), and she told me she thought the mask was a good idea.

It'll probably be nice to be able to stay home & take it easy when it's snowing outside. Not a bad gig if you can get it.

It will be nice, to not have to drive all that way, in the snow. And I don't miss having to get up so early in the morning, at all.

Good Morning Kids! NancysSummerSip, how is the weather treating your area? They've got flooding in my former neighborhood, and you can't even blame a hurricane for it. That swampland just can't hold much water, and they've been tearing up the forested areas to put in more houses, so that doesn't help.

PT done, finishing lunch and bunch of stuff to address online. One guy helping out said to me, "you'll be back on the field in no time". What?
Maybe he read someone else's file? IDK. There was a young girl probably a HS athlete that came in after me.

While yesterday only climbed into the mid to upper 60's, for the high temperature, today should get into the mid 70's. Which is much more acceptable.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
I didn't sleep last night, so I'm feeling tired and crabby today. I keep trying to go to sleep for a bit today, but haven't been successful yet. I will keep trying.

It's 81 degrees here right now, which is warmer than average. I did my grocery shopping early this morning, right after DS caught his ride to work. Now I'm trying to catch up on housework that got ignored while I was dealing with other problems.

I could smell the smoke this morning and thought I saw it but it was fog.

Good to see you ken a.k.a OMK ! Maybe you've got both smoke and fog. I walked about 2 city blocks to an estate sale to see if I could find anything interesting before I had to start waiting for DS's van to bring him home. Lots of nice stuff, but even though it's 84 degrees, the humidity has jumped up, and I was literally sticking to my shirt by the time I made it back home. So much for a "normal" Fall. And yes, I bought a few things, but I spent less than $10, and even got a free gift bag to carry it all home in.

Waiting for the cool down around 6PM or so. Not sure what I am making for dinner, but I need to make a list for all the things to complete by Sunday. Did some filing, have much more to go along with scheduling and updating calendars.

That swampland just can't hold much water, and they've been tearing up the forested areas to put in more houses, so that doesn't help. It's hot. Miserable hot. Hideous humid. Like, heat advisory every day kind of hot. We are finally getting regular rain, at least. And we are having more issues with flooding, thanks to more housing. It's insane. Not enough drainage or roads to handle the houses, so everyone is SHOCKED, I tell you, when roads and driveways and lawns somehow flood.

We got our flu and COVID shots today, in advance of our trip. Got some coupons to use for shopping, so we will use those for trip stuff. I will do some filing and air out the suitcases and will shop one more time for a dress for the wedding.

A lot of that new housing is built at street level too, so it floods easily. I feel badly for anyone dealing with this. The "old-timers" in my former neighborhood said this never used to happen, and it used to rain every single afternoon in the old days, and roads didn't flood. Nothing like greed & global warming to mess things up. And don't get me started on the lack of infrastructure in FL. They don't think ahead at all. Ask the parents of school-age kids about class sizes.

Well, I need to add something to the to-do list tomorrow. A stop at the specialty light bulb store. The odd bulb in my office lamp burned out. We inherited the lamp from my mother over a decade ago. First time it's needed a bulb. Never seen one like it before. Hopefully, the odd bulb guys have.

I was so tired yesterday, I slept through the day, and the night. Only waking long enough to relieve myself and get something to eat, or drink.
When I woke up this morning, I thought it was Tuesday. I'm trying to wrap my head around it being Saturday.
It's weird.

Glad you slept well TMR. I made my trip out for my soda and I'm finally cooled down from that walk. Not that hot yet, maybe 80, but most of my walk was in the sun.
Going to water some plants soon. My knee was not up to multiple trips up and down the stairs last night. PT wore me out.

Well, peeps -- no bulb. Amazon, it is. It's such an oddball, the store no longer carries it. I did find a chocolate banana bread mix on sale while I was out, and I added some past due bananas to it. Turned out to be delicious. My reward for getting the yard mowed and going to swim practice today.

Coming back from the Spanish market a tiny ladybug decided to land on me when I was almost home. Ran up and down two of my fingers and decided to take off. Working on dinner and need to do more filing, sorting plus PT exercises.

I got a few things done today. Of course, there's always more to do. But at least some things got done.
FYI- It's still not Tuesday! 🤣
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Good Evening Kids! DD & her DH came over for dinner tonight, so we had an enjoyable evening just catching up. I am tired. I think I'll probably sleep well tonight, at least I hope so.
