Making lunch after having achieved a lazy breakfast. Wondering if I should try to get me and the rollator to the Spanish market for a couple things or drug store. The rollator definitely has its issues, but the under-seat storage makes a nice shopping basket. What is rollator, post a pic A type of walker, I think.

What is rollator, post a pic A type of walker, I think. I was thinking a type of electric vehicle to get around in an urban environment such as I am experiencing everyday currently in Beijing. Makes accessibility to all local shops very convenient with charging stations available at the high rise building close to the entrance.

I'm glad you're having a good time, on your trip!

They are like a walker except they usually have a seat and underneath the seat is a small amount of storage for stuff.

We're at the Rainforest Cafe and it's AWESOME. This was a bucket list since I saw it on the Travel Channel. So hokey but it makes me think of the game show Legend of the Temple on Nickelodeon. DH never wants to go to a mall again. My parents took us to the Rainforest Cafe in Galveston area years ago, and I agree, a very cool place! Went to the one in the Menlo Park mall in NJ at least a couple times. Kind of fun and this one had a nice huge fish tank to watch as well. Menlo Park Mall also had a great theatre set up for movies. Have no idea what it is like there now. I haven't been there for more than a decade.

There are some very interesting ebikes in use in my area plus even the electronic wheels which seem totally useless for carrying much more than its rider.

Good morning. We are back to Sunday again! I just barely stopped myself from putting a spoonful of cat food in my coffee cup instead of the cat dish. I hope that is not an omen for the rest of the day.

Good morning, invincible invisipeeps, making the world spin. Welcome to Sunday. I hope your day is richly satisfying in every way that matters and includes a Sunday sundae of course. THis is another drive-by. I'm going to take Franklin the Dog to the beach and then we're going to need to go to the show. Yesterday went okay, not great. Hoping for better today when people will already be settled in for their vacations. I took this picture over a year ago. I call it Exuberant Sky:

happy Sunday. I went to bed early last night, on fresh clean sheets with a nice breeze coming in through the open windows. I slept very well. my parents are apparently coming down this am, Dad wants to fix something on my front stoop that bothers him every time he is here. I don't use the front door, so I don't even see it. 🤷♀️ I'll get up and moving once it starts getting lighter out. and by that, I don't mean all the lights next door that are on bc the crazy lady is home alone and afraid of the woods. 🙄

I've been to the Rainforest Cafe at Disney Springs. My SIL made that reservation. Wouldn't have been my pick but I could see kids would like it.
Headed back home to pack and go to the airport. I did finally get into my work laptop Friday afternoon but too late for me to do the work I wanted to.

Melatonin insured I slept well albeit with very weird dreams. I fixed breakfast and am on the 2nd load of laundry. Feeders are filled and I have one more room to mop, then it's shower time. This afternoon I'll put out roach baits to round out my exciting weekend

I just got up about 10:#0. Smokie was all cuddled into the curve of my body. He and I were being tormented by a fly. I would cover with a sheet and him too, but then it was after our faces. He had his paw on his me finally tried the sheet. I think maybe Tigger caught it, heard a crash, he knocked stuff down and we went back to sleep. My baby stayed there till I got up.
I have lots of loose ends to pull together today and DD had issues last night so more laundry. I think its all this fast food we are eating instead of cooking, but not much I can do about it right now. I may fix us spaghetti the night before we fly so we can avoid that stuff.
But I slept good so that helps. Ok, at it again.

The food was meh as to be expected in a chain but I was highly entertained and had an excellent strawberry mojito.
I told DH it doesn't take a lot. Let me met an M&M and take me to a restaurant with animatronic animals and I'm yours.🤣

In a short recovery mode after a trail run. Laundry, cleaning the cats' room (new pet sitter coming tomorrow) and cleaned out the A/C drain line. Made quiche for breakfast.

Decided on tuna. Trip to get rid of garbage was long as some guy was smoking where I usually return up the stairs. My lungs did not need that, so I took the scenic route. Need to hydrate up along with having lunch.

fuck fuck FUCK! I definitely just set myself back with my foot. 🤬 I'm sitting outside for a bit, and was catching up reading on here. I felt a bug on my knee, my left foot was crossed over onto my right knee. well, I was still half looking at the screen and saw a huge bug out of the corner of my eye on my left knee ans reacted. I flinched and smashed my ankle on one of the table legs amd am already feeling it. I pulled the designated bag of frozen peas from the freezer and it's thawing a little in the sun before I ice the ankle.
the bug in question? a gentle dragonfly. I hate myself for that.

Sorry about that. It might partially be the day. Wealthy retired sister just texted me about my dad's estate who she is not the executor on. Miss D could not even notice that when I swore on a mobile call maybe three weeks ago, it was at myself. Literally Dammit Opti, because I had just screwed something up. Anyway yes it feels like it turned into dragon fly season over night. Which comes with really large spiderwebs by me. Hopefully its not too bad, I know I am not doing my knee too many favors as this oppressive sun and heat makes me want to run away. Hope the frozen peas icing helps enough that you haven't set yourself too far back.

I finally got my guest closet rod up today! It took several cuts, but it's done. I am really thankful for the electric saw I kept (along with several other tools) from Dad.
