Good morning friends. Slept well and grateful. Today will be a day spent like yesterday...in laid back fashion. Carl is going to run errands if he can get a hair appointment for a cut. If not then I guess he'll just stay put. I have no intentions of venturing out with the exception of walking Benjamin.
Plenty of choices all made up for supper, so I'll let Carl decide. Easy peasy 
Pam so sorry all DH's Rx were not available. That is nice of the pharmacist to email when they do come in. Nice you were able to get your hair trimmed. Mine always needs trimming as it grows in thickness. My appointment isn't until the end of this month so I'll deal with it.
Nice that you had leftovers waiting for you after your busy shopping day.
Waving and wishing all a peaceful and OP day.

Change of plans for Carl. His barber is on vacation. He offered to do the BJ's and 'packie' run. |

Good Morning, WW Friends ~
Happy Hump Day!! We have a dreary 60 dg outside, so it is feeling like Fall. I never got the chance to post yesterday, the day just got away from me.
Ann ~ Glad you're feeling better from tick bite. Love having so many choices in the fridge that we have to actually make a decision!
Judy ~ How nice to have a housekeeper! But I know you'd rather be doing your own.
Pam ~ Good job on doing all the planting!
Yesterday I went to my Fitness Class in the morning and it felt SO GOOD to be moving again (even though I had walked every day previously). Then my shift at school went well. I went right to the dentist's office and had a very thorough cleaning. I had received a text that the jeans I ordered from Kohl's were ready for pick-up, so I went there right from the dentist's office. While I was in that Mall, I went to Five Below and bought the cord my salesman recommended for my phone & Apple Car Play. They had a 2 foot and in black (the color of my interior) so I was very happy! I by far prefer the mapping on Apple Car Play to the Bluetooth feature in my car. The ACP actually puts the map up on my in-dash screen, along with other things (which I am still exploring).
When I got home, I was so excited about my new jeans, and I loved the color! but when I went to try them on they were HUGE! I had been shopping for 10P and bought a 10 Short, only to discover they are about 3" too long and way too big in hips and legs! So they have to go back today after school.
Sounds like we are on somewhat a similar schedule. I have a haircut appointment tomorrow. Today my hair is looking shaggy for the first time. It was funny, when I went in to my class yesterday morning, one of the gals asked if I had just had my hair done?? It didn't look shaggy to anyone but me. And I did my pedicure last weekend. I've been doing that every other weekend and it is working out for me.
I have had my yogurt & blackberries w/F1 for breakfast and made the bed so I'm ready to get ready for school. BBL. Make a great day!!

Hi Ann and friends, It's another beauty of a day. It actually would be a beautiful beach day if I had the day off or inclination! I will dine outside today with my "pack" of friends from work. Ann, Maury's deli is closing after decades! Tomorrow is the last day they are open so we are all doing a farewell takeout lunch of Reubens and Hot Pastramis, etc. Sad to see them go. Victim of the pandemic, I am sure.
Pam, you sure had a frustrating time at the pharmacy at Walmart in and out of the line. What is wrong with clerks not to even check for your scripts? I think places are having very hard times getting help. I am glad the pharmacist was able to assist and will keep you in the loop.
I had a somewhat frustrating day, too. The cleaning lady went home sick and never got to our room. You are probably thinking "boo hoo"- that's not a biggie and it's true that it isn't. My main issue is that I must be there waiting for her since I have to take the dogs out of the hotel and I only have two days a week when that is possible. They told me she'd do our room between 9-11 so the dogs and I went out for two hours. Then, when I came back, they told me she was sick and they lined up the other cleaning lady and told me to wait and she'd be there between 1-3. No show. I went to the desk at 3 and they told me she'd be there next. By 4:30, she was a no show and had clocked out. Ugh. We were out of towels, TP, tissues, etc. They brought all our supplies and will clean on Friday. It was just annoying to wait around when I only have one other day she could come in. I think they are having trouble with staff, too. The poor clerk who I like a lot worked from noon on Saturday until 9 AM Sunday straight through. The overnight person never showed-never called! I felt so badly for her.
DH and I had Panera salads and soup last night. I might just have soup tonight. Even soup and salad is too much. I finished the book I was reading called Verity. It was "ok" - not really my type of book- talk about steamy scenes and the plot didn't do much for me as far as suspense. My coworker loved it. I need a good read now! Any suggestions?
TTFN

Wow, Sue - I would love for size 10 to be too big for me! What color are your pretty new jeans? Hope you find the 8s fit you well. :-) Congrats!
I hope you don't send too much dreary weather our way. We have Parents Weekend this weekend on campus. Today would be nice but we are due for rain we hear.
Yes, we all have haircuts at the same time. I go every 4-5 weeks. Pedicure will be soon.
Pam, I am getting spoiled not cooking and cleaning, but I do look forward to cooking. My kitchen is enticing me.

Back after a short 'potty walk' with Benjamin (and Carl)  He is off on his 'mercy mission' to pick up what we need. It's absolutely beautiful out there. I have windows and screen room open and it feels like a piece of heaven. I don't plan on doing a darn thing today but relax. I made contact with my PCP and have the Lyme test scheduled for November 2 at 11:30. That gives us plenty of time to have breakfast and walk Benjamin. It's nice that it's just down the street from us.....one town over so no heavy duty traveling is involved. Sue sounds like you had a busy day yesterday. I did remember your dental cleaning and figured that you added errands to the mix and that's why you weren't online. Awesome (in a good way) that the jeans are too big. Hopefully they will have what you want in the color you prefer in the smaller size. Yes it's wonderful to have a refrigerator and freezer stocked with easy to prepare food. Carl opted for the chicken rice casserole so that's what's on the menu for this evening. Also sorry for you dreary weather. I'll send some sunshine blue skies to you. Judy I can truly feel your angst over the 'no show' maid to clean the room...especially having to vacate the premises with D&D. Would be NICE if they would compensate you for your upsetting day, but I'm sure nothing will be done. Nice they DID bring you your necessities!!!!! The book I am reading is part 3 of a 4 series. I won't recommend it as I find myself flipping through all the very graphic sex scenes. The only reason why I'm sticking with it as there are a few characters that really tickle my funny bone. Wish I didn't get so involved in it. Good luck in finding a good read. At times they seem so hard to come by. With me, it's more of a 'mood thing'. Waving and now I am going to sit and relax. Just a few more online chores to accomplish and the rest of the day is mine |

Hi Ann - yes I am in one of those moods where no books hit me. I think sometimes it is my focus and concentration. There are times when I can read the dictionary and be enthralled and other times when the best page turner has me restless and unable to stick with it!
So glad no bugs descended on you today. Nasty critters. Our topic at the Maury's farewell lunch on campus today was all about bees. It seems most of us have run over beehives in the ground at one point or another and we had some funny (not so at the time, I am sure) stories. BTW, Maury's was a MOB scene with about 15 people deep getting orders. Parking was across the street. Too bad it is closing. It is for sale. Hoping someone buys it to keep up the tradition. I hear the owners couldn't swallow the latest rent increase. Sad.
Work's busy. I think changes are afoot. Glad I am a "short-timer" at this point!

So happy you enjoyed a nice meal. LOL to the bee stories. I bet that was funny.
I hope you get out of your reading funk and find something interesting. Last time that hit me it took almost a month before I could read again. That's very annoying!

Hi All ~
I'm fading fast, but wanted to write a quick note before I did. I went to Kohl's after school and returned the too-big jeans. No problem. They didn't have any that interested me, so I looked at tops and found a couple of light sweatshirt material pull-overs. I had a 30% off coupon, and one of them priced out at "clearance" so I didn't spend much at all, but brought home two new tops for school.
I stopped at Meijer and bought DH a present. He loves those Caramel Apple Pops and eats one every night at bedtime. We were out of them and I forgot to put them on my list, so I stopped there today they were on sale, so I bought him 4 bags of them. He'll be a happy camper!!
I came home and packed away the rest of my capris and hangers downstairs. Now I have room for some warmer tops. I will bring them up soon as our temps are predicted to plummet this weekend.
We're having Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo for supper. The chicken is already cooked and I'll make the noodles and warm up some leftover broccoli - and voila!! Supper!!
Have a restful evening! Sweet dreams!!

Great deal on the tops for you and treats for DH. Yes he will be a very happy camper lol.
Your supper sounds delicious. Enjoy.
I am also fading fast. Will be an early night for sure.

Good evening!
I had a very busy day and am tired, but wanted to check in. DH and I rode north to our favorite plant store today, but were only able to get cauliflower plants--no broccoli or cabbage plants. When we got home, I made a new row and planted them in the garden, then set about weeding around the pepper plants. I also took out the dead tomato plants and the stakes. I found a couple of bell peppers and some jalapenos for DH. Tomorrow, I will weed some more and fertilize the pepper plants. Hopefully, I can get a good bit done before we need to leave for DH's wound care appointment at 2:30.
After I showered and rested a bit, I tackled the gritty floors in the bathrooms, kitchen, hall and living room. I am so glad to have it done, but was really pooped by the time I finished. By then, DH was whipping up some cheeseburger and potato soup for our dinner and it was delicious. I chatted a bit with DD3 on the phone and texted with Dee. Now, I'm all set to read a bit until bedtime. My book, The Woman Who Heard Color, is very good.
Sweet dreams to all!
