Super Saturday 2/25 Everyone Welcome!

Here it is mid-day and I’m surprised the rain they predicted has not appeared. There are some clouds in the distance, but they don’t seem threatening. I was under the impression a storm was going to hit last night and last through Sunday. But I’m glad for some more sunshine, especially since my friend—mother of my friend across the street) is in town and they headed to S.F. to Fisherman’s Wharf today.

I slept better than I have in a few weeks, so I as up early (about 5 AM). After getting through the morning news shows and breakfast, I headed to the fitness center at the Senior Center and got a half hour of light exercise to help bring the blood sugar down. Then I stopped at the Farmer’s Market that is in that neighborhood and picked up a loaf of sliced sourdough (small slices) and some oranges; the sample of the oranges was sweet as sugar, and I hope the ones I bought are just as sweet!

I got home from those chores with a little time to spare before I needed to leave to take the cat (Missy) to the vet. Her claws on one paw had grown in so thick and gotten so long that they were curled under and into her toes. The vet had to tranqualize here because nobody hates doctors like Missy! I had her tested for Diabetes and that’s a negative; other blood test results will be in on Monday.

Poor Missy is now wandering (stumbling) around her bedroom behind a closed door until the drugs wear off enough so she’ll stable on her feet and can be trusted not to injure herself.

It remains to be seen just how made she is with me when she recovers! But at least she won’t be able to scratch me! And she will be way more comfortable walking for which I’m grateful.

I’m sitting here typing on my new Apple laptop, about 2 months old, which has the worst flat keyboard Apple has ever designed; and on top of that, the “w” key is working only sporadically. Guess I’ll be taking it into the shop soon.

Kathy (ksbruns), I’m glad you’re home safe and glad to be there. It sounds like the trip was a success and that you enjoyed it. But, to quote Dorothy, “There’s no place like home."

thyme2 I didn't like my spiralizer either but now my local grocery store is carrying veggies already prepped for me. This week they had sweet potatoes, zucchini and butternut squash. I know it's more expensive but I like the size of their noodles better. I'm sure they have an industrial size one that I don't want to purchase.

linda72, It was hotter in Dallas than Lubbock, and that's where the wind was messing with me! It was a good trip, I did have a little Tex-Mex, but I haven't liked BBQ in a long time...see, I can never move back, LOL! and thyme2 I think my Inspiralizer does a great job on sweet potatoes...however, I am so durn lazy, that I'll still pick them up in the store sometimes...😐

zazzles What kind of laptop do you have? I have had a MacBook for about two years and finally got used to the keyboard, but in making the laptop so thin I think it has keyboard issues...I have had *several* keyboard trips about it and they replaced it once. No, pbnj I would never think to eat at my computer!!! (I always think of my dad's when he died which looked as if it had never been cleaned since it was new, so make sure to dispose of the evidence regularly.

borntexan My leg has been so much better the past few days, of course, I wasn't getting a lot of exercise, ugh. I think I have to accept that I just can't keep pounding away. Feel better!

zazzles I have heard good things about that taskbar! I love the MacBook because I really didn't like typing on an iPad and this is really just as convenient for travel.
