Well that was a nice summer we had... now back to the 60s each morning... NOT liking that - or this 18+ hours of RAIN we've had! I know we need the rain - but MAN... THIS MUCH?? Mother Nature sure does like her "extremes" doesn't she?? The good news is - it hasn't been a terrible stormy night... every time I was awake it was just "rain"... no thunder - no lightening - no winds - Just.Plain.Rain.!
Speaking of being awake... UGH... could NOT fall asleep last night - was still tossing and turning at midnight! Then awake too many times to count! Going to be a very LONG day today! Still need to hit the farm stand after work - for produce. Hoping NOT to have to hit the grocery store too!
So TRACKIN' TUESDAY... I have tracked 5 out of 7 days this past week, nothing to show for it - but will do it again today - if I can! Need to grab something out of the freezer for dinner too - think it's just Ken and I - so gotta figure that out! My water wasn't great (again) over the weekend - but was better yesterday - today can be even better! Oh and I got closer to my 5k steps yesterday than I have on a work day on I don't even know how long!! SO there ya' have it - some habits are still with me - some I need to "retrain the brain", so to speak!!
Let me refill my coffee and try to catch up before Ken comes down! ♥

Oohh, and I almost forgot - today is my 1st Shingles vaccine! I may just not go back to work after that - we'll see how long it takes for the appointment!
Sue: How on earth did you manage to pull a salad together - after being gone all week??? Oh did Jason harvest some lettuce and produce? Glad you are enjoying the cooler temps - we got the rains about the same tie as you this time... hit work around 11 AM when I was sitting outside at break! Hasn't let up since! I will need to close some windows today - to keep the cold out! LOL We don't usually have trouble with rain but it is chilly in here this morning!
Lisa: Oh No - I am so sorry {{{hugs}}} Did this cousin have heart issues?? 57... oh dear.. so young! Condolences to you and Greg ♥
Please don't fixate on the "threes"...
OH nice... getting the 6 of you together for a dinner ♥
Sue: Oh dear - yes, coming back from the time off is difficult - but so worth it, right?? Sorry you had a headache... hoping you nipped it in the bud, and it didn't take a turn for a migraine on you {{{hugs}}} Yes Sue - I agree... well worth having this darned shot today - hoping for the best - but will deal with what comes! Just thinking I am already so tired and feeling "run down"... I may get the brunt of the side effects? Like I said - I am hoping NOT... but planning to come home and go to bed early tonight - to ward off anything that may want to come my way! Hoping that will do the trick!
Have to say - that CHESS was the game of the week for you all - was a surprise! I have never "mastered" the game - actually don't like board games much at all - or cards... never was a card player...
Glad everyone had a good time and the "spats" were kept to a minimum.
LOL Yes "mentally tired" is a far worse feeling that "physically tired"... and I swear work will do that to ya' Each.And.Every.Time.!

Good Morning ~ our internet is down so I grabbed DH's iPhone and am using his 'hotspot' for internet connection. For some odd reason MY iPhone just won't connect as quickly and easily as Gary's - so I borrow his lol
Normal, typical, average Summer day here and I LOVE IT! Low humidity too (60% compared to 90%) add lots of SUN today...it will be a good day to take a mid-day walk around the new campus...
Need to pay some bills so won't stay long...
Feel like today I FINALLY turned the corner on healing. FINALLY. Not much drainage into my eye which is a huge relief. My right eye lid continues to be puffy but I do have an appt with the Eye Specialist. I'll ask about that...otherwise I am doing really well (I think).
Yesterday evening was rough with the tight dry skin on forehead and scalp. Very uncomfortable until I remembered my Vitamin E OIL! I used it on my scar after TKR and still had some - it's working! Just a dab on the healed wounds avoiding the scabs and other areas of broken skin...
Hoping everyone has a Good Week ~ stepped on the scale today since 3 weeks ago - not too bad of a gain - only 2 lbs which I'm sure is the bloat from meds and lack of walking/exercising. But it will turn around as I get better.
YES everyone, listen to our Sue...hunt down that Vaccine! I am making all my in-laws and DH do the same. It's ridiculous we can't get the vaccine in this part of PA...my DBIL was sharing the same story - if you are under 60 you get bumped down the wait list! This is insane!

OK Trackin' Tuesday...
B: Omelet, coffee S: Celery w/ cream cheese & olives, tea L: Veggie pasta with extra veggies, water S: Almonds D: TBD
Gabrielle: Will you be hitting the track today? I saw on FB you were off yesterday?? Early morning/all day? deliveries with Ed??? Good for you! I am guessing while riding along in the delivery truck you are NOT doing work-work on the road?
Think I will pack my lunch bag before I hit the shower - since when I come down I may be sharing the kitchen with Tracy! She is headed to Matt's to await the delivery of the washer and dryer for them!
♥hugs♥

Mornin' Christine: OH Thank Goodness you are feeling better! Hoping now that you have turned the corner - you will feel so much better sooner!! Today is my first shot... I am very nervous - but know I do NOT want to deal with what you have dealt with - I am a big baby, and no - no way - would I be able to go to work like that! Which right now, I can't "afford" to be out of work - I'd either have to use vacation time and/or unpaid time - so yeah - vaccine time for me! No putting it off any longer! Like I said I am hoping for the best - but bracing for a "bug" this week! UGH!
I never think of using my phone as a hot spot when my internet goes down... Matt did show me HOW to do it - at Relay - but here at home I never think about it!
YAY - Listen to you being so positive about the 2# gain... and knowing you can and WILL turn it around when you feel better...
OK Really gotta get moving here... laters babes ♥hugs♥

Good morning! Not feeling very energetic but better snap out of that! I'm wanting to wrap up this assignment and will have a short morning tomorrow with my hair appointment.
Carole-I didn't sleep good either but part of it was my own fault-I had a large iced coffee late afternoon yesterday. Tracking 5 out of 7 days is good in my view.
Christine-it's wonderful to see that you are seeing an improvement with the shingles! Our wi-fi is usually reliable, but just sometimes not strong signal in the front part of the house.
So went suit shopping yesterday. Greg was thinking a 3 piece, but at Men's warehouse that was going to run about $600-700, so we tried Macy's and no luck, but managed to "piece together" a suit at Penney's, but if you looked close the blacks didn't match even though they were the same brand, and was going to run about $400, so Greg didn't like that either. I tried to tell him that you get what you pay for, so I don't if he is going to settle for just a jacket and pants that are cheaper or what...he just can't believe that they are that expensive I guess.
So I think peach yogurt for breakfast will be enough...I'm not that hungry right now. Off to dry the hair and try and tame it...can't wait for cut and color tomorrow! I think that I have some chicken in the freezer that I am going to thaw out for dinner.
Waving...will try to BBL!
