Hiya peeps! I got my last trail run in before next week's race. Pretty wet and rutted out there, but that's a good thing. The trail needs to be messy so all possibilities are out there to practice on. I am heading out shortly to shop for the trip.

Good Afternoon Kids! I made it to church, but still haven't recovered from last week, so I see a nap in my future.

I am back and got an outfit, or at least part of one to go with what I have. Found a bright blue blazer (think cerulean blue) and a black and gold shirt. These will be paired with black dress pants and black dress shoes. Oh, and gold jewelry.

We got a severe storm warning this afternoon. Although I've heard it did rain hard in some areas, I didn't see any rain at all, at my place.
I'm okay with that.

TMR, did you get a bad storm or were you lucky?
I think there is rain in the forecast here every day but today. I am not ready for the week. I could use one more day of weekend to get my act together. My knee seems a little better than yesterday. Need to put away laundry, clean stuff in the dishwasher and do the online stuff I should have done yesterday.
Might try for more laundry quarters later today. Would like to do a load of towels. Had to use the dryer with the sparkles. No one ever tried to clean it. The glue gets warm, so I removed a few small ones yesterday. Glad to see none got onto anything I dried.

Nope. No rain, for me.

Good Afternoon Kids! I met a friend from church for coffee/tea this morning. It was nice to relax for a bit. Now, back to reality...

And I thought it was in September. Her (DD2) DH's mom is taking them and one of his sister's family(s), as a gift, for last Christmas. She sent me a picture of her and her girls, on the plane. TBH I'm not real involved in their lives now, since I don't hang out at their house. It's certainly a different family dynamic.

The heat is miserable here right now. You couldn't pay ME to do any outside activities right now, at least not until close to sunset.

Although it's super cloudy here, the temperature is very nice. Some of the weather people are predicting rain again, later today.
I'm going to go buy some fresh garden grown tomatoes, later today, from someone who I met on FB.
I won't buy tomatoes at the grocery store anymore. They have no flavor, IMO. I hope these are good. I think they will be.

Or of Campari. I don't eat many fresh tomatoes.

Wish you lived closer, toomuchreality. Not only do we grow some of our own produce, but there's a woman in our community who owns an empty lot behind her house, and she grows & sells (her husband does most of the gardening) produce, and it is SO good. Organic, and surprisingly even in size (an amateur like me doesn't get all of their tomatoes, etc., to be so similar in size & color).

Now that I looked up the type of tomatoes I was expecting to buy, I don't know what's going to happen. I'm going to go look and see what she has. I don't know if I want to pay $5 per tomato. The smaller ones are only $1. But they're probably not great on BLT's.

Good Morning Kids! DS has another dentist appointment, so I'm up early and praying that the traffic isn't terrible, as we need to do a bit of a drive. Still hot here, but I'm trying to soak it all in before Winter arrives.

Peeps! Got a lot done. Ran this morning, and it was decently cloudy. It stayed that way so I got outside and did a good amount of yard work. Also washed the kitchen floor. Lunch for the week is already made for both of us (sandwiches for DH and turkey meatball, noodle and vegetable soup for me).

The rain has stopped, but I don't know for how long. It's still very dark outside. It is what I would call, a very dreary day. I'm glad it isn't cold.
We got snow, in the mountains. The ski resorts are happy. Me, not so much.

Need to get more done today. Did PT earlier and got one small thing done. Have more to do including making salmon cakes for dinner and planning a grocery shop. Cloudy today, but I'm OK with that.
Need to rewash my casual pants. Turns out I will need to address the dirt stains more thoroughly. Probably time for a short walk.

Good Morning Kids! Please send some prayers & positive thoughts my way, because I need to call SS. Again. They keep doing stuff to DS's account without telling me what's going on, and it's driving me crazy.

Lord have mercy! I got thru, and they're telling me they refigured based on his part-time work, and SS owed him extra money, which they direct deposited into his account. But, he supposedly was overpaid this year, so WHY didn't they just put this against the money he supposedly owes them? So now I need to arrange to send money back to them. I can't even...
