It's 5:15 and my eyes are sleeeeepy!

I'm so cold, going to crawl in with my furnace-y husband and warm up - hopefully I will fall asleep!

Good morning everyone.

Good morning, everyone!!!

As Avon said, back to some semblance of a routine for the next couple of days. Hubby and our SIL have their club championship this weekend, so a friend and I are thinking about heading off to our trailer for an overnight and lots of chatting, since she'd been away for a few months where her hubby works spring to winter. I'm sure wine will be involved....OMG, this really has to stop, though! Although there's no way on earth to diet when camping season is here, I have to get my butt in gear and take off this weight I put on doing nothing this past year!! I can almost walk like a normal person now if I concentrate on using that muscle above my knee to keep me from waking like a duck, so it's time to start walking Jenny again; I know that makes such a difference when I'm dieting.

Other than that....DD's off to the ACDC concert in Toronto tomorrow...her boss and another colleague are flying her and another over-achiever there just for a little treat, then she's off to Ottawa for a conference, then she and 9 other friends are flying from there to Mexico for a week! She'll be on 7 airplanes in the space of about a week and a half!! Will this Mom worry until her baby is safely back home? You becha!!!!

Today I have an appt with my hairdresser, then I want to stock up on some groceries I see on sale, then....rest of course.

YOU ALL have a fantastic day!!! I hope the humidity has left us....don't mind the heat, but that humidity was stiffling!!

Good morning every1.
Avon & Lynn; welcome back. Wow, you two exhaust me !!
Funny, I've often heard that you're really busy in retirement, don't know when we had time to work. lol
How so very true !!!
Have a great day, with all your cooking, and running around.

^^ I agree hicks, retirement just opens so many doors. It really is a wonder how any of us performed our work duties at one time. Today it was rainy-ish, and it is still yucky muggy out, so no trips out for me, maybe to buy some gas for the vehicle?? We'll see. No sauce making today, need a small rest from yesterday. But oh!! didn't the Blue Jays have us on pins and needles with that game last night?? So glad it all worked in our favour, and who would've thought the Red Sox would get charged with 2 balks?! I still have trouble understanding what they did wrong, even when I've watched the slow motion replay......but a free base for us? Love it!

Hi Walker.
I sure hope tonight's game is a lot less stressful.
I just came back in, wow, has the temp. ever dropped !!!
I've opened all the windows, & turned the a.c. off, & the inside temp's already dropped 2 degrees.
Enjoy the game.

Hello folks!
I was a little tired today. (I know, I know!) I went with dh to get a few groceries and got my hair cut/tinted - all for $27.50 plus a a $5.00 tip. I got the same young woman that I had the last time. She is VERY conscientious. BUT VERY SLOW! and nervous. But a lovely young artistic woman.

The dogs got their hair cut today too. Poor MAX gets his ears plucked! So he spent a lot of time madly shaking his head. We have to keep him less active so that he doesn't hurt his back again. So I gave him a Benedryl and then he settled down and slept. I actually DROVE them to their favourite place to "do their thing" tonight as the secondary favourite place has been sprayed with pesticide. MAX couldn't have handled the walk tonight to 1st favourite place. (Crazy about my pooches??? - I know!)

We have appointments to get estimates on the sidewalk over the next couple of days, DH has to go to the dr. in another town for a shot he gets every 3 months. We also have an appointment to get the basement restoring guys to evaluate what might be mold in our basement.

We had a discussion and agreed on which walls will be painted which colour (finally.) Compromise being the key here.

The neighbour's dog got out and paid us a little visit on our back porch. (Luckily neither of our dogs noticed or there would have been an uproar.) I snuck out the back and went after him as he likes to "check-out" the pond. He went for a little swim on July 1st just before his family was expecting company! Stinky poo! His name is AXE and our dog is MAX - so no one ever knows who's calling whom. He came loping back and his owner took him home. He has promised a few times to fix that hole in his fence. I'm just afraid AXE will end up on the main road which is just at the other side of our street. He thinks I'm his "aunty," I swear, as I'm always "catching" him when he gets out.

Oh how horrible the Blue Jays are playing tonight!

I took advantage of the "Blog" post of "Severe Weather Emergency Kit" from the Source and bought one for each of the people I love for a stocking stuffer. All the weird weather we've been having - you never know when you might need one.

Well, Nat, I may be up with you tonight as I don't feel very tired. I picked up on a book that I had been reading before I went on holiday and it's getting really exciting.

I finally found found the "booter-upper" cable for my phone and tablet and Kindle. All I had left was our lap-top. And dh likes to use that.

Well - going to watch some TV and drug the dog before he goes to sleep so he doesn't wake up in pain or itching.

Good night folks!

[Natalka]

Well, avon, looks like I'm up all by myself, lol!

NOT my choice.



Hope everyone has a fine Thursday!
