Taste Like Chicken Toasty Tuesday 5/28

Linda, how odd about that drug causing itching after you quit taking it. That may explain what happened with you, unless it's just a weird coincidence, especially since Micki has it too. Maybe his is sympathy itching. Fortunately, Allegra is helping, whatever it is.

How goes the calls to the doctor's office, Becky? Sorry about your friend, but even sorrier your knees were so uncomfortable while you were at the visitation. Just for grins, I was looking at home prices in Port Aransas, and Harvey has driven prices way up! Like double what I had expected, and nothing really special. I guess it's probably that way along the coast and will be for some time. Good thing we aren't planning to relocate there like we were before we built here.

Kathy, I remembered Linda saying they were heating up and she's been the surprising holdout. I saw 89 on the car thermometer coming home and it was only about 11 am. The Don Lee burger was good but, sadly, we couldn't get the Thaan charcoal brick to stay lit, so it ended up being nuked, so it could have been better. They weren't on sale, so I would wait to see if they BOGO them at some point. I had it on a thin bun with a smear of Vegenaise, a slice of CSA tomato and a leaf of CSA kale (I prefer kale to lettuce on a sandwich). Did you have a family get together for the holiday? Has DN made a grad school decision? The Longhorn in me hopes he goes that direction, but I know it would be nice for the family to have him closer. Austin is an amazing place to live, especially for someone of his generation. There's lots to do there, almost too much. When we lived there, we were into something just about every weekend. Sometimes we wish we would have stayed there. Had we bought the house we put a bid in on, we probably would have.

I heard from Chele a little while ago and they still have power but nothing else. They seem to be unscathed except for a few veggie plants and one of "her" robins. From the mess I saw on CNN while working out, and what a mess! I don't know how anyone can deny the existence of climate change seeing just the weather events we've expeirienced in this country in less than 6 months of 2019.

I did a full 33 minutes on the AMT at AF today and actually sweated, which typically doesn't happen there because they have the AC cranked pretty good. I was definitely in my cardio zone according to the HR registered on the machine. All errands are run and got home before Noon. Plants are watered and Arya is napping. Maybe I will too.

Liz, I'm wishing you sanity at St. Crazy, or is that even a possibility?

Karen, forgot to mention that the car thermometer said 97 on the way home from the store. It's really hazy outside too and definitely not good for allergies. I hope this heat breaks next week as they're predicting. How hot did it get where you are?

WOW, Linda! Looks like Liz could be in for a rough night, along with your NE family and friends. More snow in Flagstaff? Those poor people. But if you live there, you probably love snow anyway. I'm sorry to say that our president is one of those politicians who believes his oil company buddies more than scientists and has rolled back most of the climate protections and pulled us out of the Paris Accord. So we will continue to be heavy polluters like his friends in China. I was never a fan of rhubarb growing up, even when it was sweetened with strawberries. Definitely a good source of fiber, however.

Kathy, I'm glad DN made his decision based on what he felt was the best program for him. I think it may have hit 90 here today, so you had us beat. Sorry DM has been under the weather, but good that she's feeling back to herself, even if she's froggy.

Enjoy your low 90s, Becky. I'm happy that you got some clarification from Humana so you know what you're looking at. I know what you mean about real estate in TX. The house we almost bought has tripled in value and the neighborhood has exploded, so lots of expensive houses.
