DH & I took the golf cart to the nature trail yesterday morning to walk. Lovely breeze for it. When we got back I got busy cleaning the bathrooms, ugh. But they look good, so yay for that. I had couch time and we got a Philly sub from the food truck to split. Also some tater tots. After dinner I watched a Netflix movie and stitched on Santa #4. I finished a book while taking a bath, started a new one in bed. Lights were out by 12:30, I fell asleep easily and feel like I slept more than the 6.5 hours that Fitbit is telling me.

I had ordered some patio chairs from Amazon that arrived around noon yesterday. Some (lots) assembly required. DH did it mostly on his own, but I helped some. They are for the porch where DD hangs out, the old ones were worn to the point of your butt being in danger of falling through. Today is her birthday, we put them out this morning, it will be a nice surprise for her.

It's partly cloudy and it rained some early this morning. There is a chance of rain all day, hoping we can go to the farmer's market this morning. We're going out to a new Mexican restaurant this evening for DD' birthday. Need to get DD a birthday cake from Publix. When I was lying in bed this morning and turned on my back I realized my right heel was hurting in the Achilles area. It hurts a bit to walk on it, hopefully it goes away as the day goes along.


Jan- WTG steps 11/11, PU, stretches, tracking, AF, lots checked off your list. Glad you can see better with your new glasses. I am familiar with Herschnerr's and have ordered from them several times, didn't realize they had a physical store. Your teacher dreams sound like my nurse dreams, mine usually involve being late handing out medication.

Cindy- It's very cool that the mourning dove has nested in your pot, I have no advice to give. So sorry about the difficult time your friend is going through with her DH, glad you could have lunch with her. Also sorry about DS's fall and his broken bird friend. Sounds like he is better off without the girl. Glad you enjoying Shogun. I go back and forth about taking my laptop on the trip. If I do, I can start the board while we travel. Since I'll be 5 or more hours ahead, it will be like when you used to start the board around midnight, LOL.

Carole- Sorry the jig is up with Alexis' cat. Hopefully Jeff settles himself down and it all works out. Yay for being able to count the days left to work.

Hi girls! I went to Red Lobster after Jack’s game, looked at all my choices, and even had enough points for a cheddar biscuit and rolled over 3 points! I told DH, looking back I realize how much I was not paying attention since my birthday and always going for the sweets. Tonight we’re eating at a sports bar and after looking at their menu, I think I will be having a grilled chicken salad instead of a big chicken sandwich with fries, which is what I would usually get. Tomorrow we are having pizza and salad for lunch, and will be stopping for the frozen custard or sherbert, which is nonnegotiable! I’ll be leaving here soon to do something shopping before going to DD’s. It’s going to be a GREAT weekend! 😁

Amy: People always talk about shaving their legs. My few hairs are very light and I don’t usually even notice them until they get long! 😂 Happy Birthday to DD! Enjoy!

Jan: A new do with a massage! I told my girl that’s the only thing I miss about going into the shop, was them washing my hair! But not enough to schedule an appointment! It’s so much more convenient having her come to my house! Enjoy the time with DSis!

Cindy: Yay for having the mourning doves! I love watching the birds out the window! So sorry about DS’s fall! He was looking for wolf spiders or actually saw one?

Carole: I forgot how long baseball games could be! 😂 Jack’s team was ahead by 12 and then the other team woke up. We still won, but it was a looooong game! 😂

I’m off! See you on the flip side!
