WE ALL SCREAM FOR!!! Couldn't help myself. Those springy-summery couple of days forced my hand on ice cream. I have been very circumspect about no sugar, booze and snacking and then 77 degrees hits. Ummm. Hot dogs on the grill and a couple of scoops (small ones) of coconut almond ice cream. Argghh. One day of fun food means a two-pound shift on the old scale. Back to regimented diet before doctor appointment this week. However, all my blood tests showed improvements, so I guess eating right is actually a thing, darn.
Anyone else rather confused with vendors, mostly restaurants, pushing the use of credit cards over cash and then make you pay more for using a credit card? Which goes along with the higher prices as well. Please pick one. Also "tapping" your card means you shouldn't have to put in a code-isn't that the point?
Picked out cabinet color and countertop last week so things are moving. Though in getting the other bathroom ready for back-up duty, I find the darn vanity falling apart. So only $300 over allowance at this point, why not another new vanity. We will be taking showers in the sink and shaving over the toilet before this project gets done. Also hired the landscaper who can't start until June. Dilemma: do I harvest my rather substantial crop of weeds before the new work begins? Only downside I guess is looking like a bum who doesn't take care of my flower beds-Boo Hoo.
Can't wait for my nurse eval this week where you memorize 3 words and then spit them back. At the moment I am juggling two projects with multiple vendors at the house, coordinating two podcasts and trying to clean out (evaluating trash or treasure) the cupboards that are going by-by for the bathroom remodel and sorting clothes for donation as it is my closet, of course, that will need to be cleaned out for the floor removal/replacement. Not to mention coordinating multiple dr appts and procedures for both of us. Yep, I'm diddly all right if I can't remember the three words.
ON THE POLITICAL FRONT The first correspondent's dinner attended by marmie as president, in the middle of a couple of wars and we're supposed to believe a "lone" gunman gets through presidential level security and guns are fired outside of the room? At least an innocent person did not get killed in the latest distraction. Especially galling is the quick news conference touting the new ballroom that would have prevented this. Just saying...when poll numbers are down or magots are getting restless, "something" always happens.
On the other hand, apparently attending sporting events is adequately secure for the orange one and his entourage. Not that I'm an expert, but why is our Sec of State going to wrestling matches instead of negotiating peace talks with Iran? Apparently, we are buying Iran as marmie sent two real estate skates - no experts in diplomacy, no nuclear experts, no military, just two bozos he is related to and golfs with. Makes sense...the impasse will go on. Wasn't the Strait of Hormoz open before we started firing Ferraris at Frisbees (million-dollar missiles at thousand-dollar drones)? Sooo, we are renegotiating what we already had in the original agreement, just spit balling here, but who's winning?
HOME FRONT OH and I just spent the last hour putting together our latest toy-a rolling gardening cart. Easy right? Fortunately, our roles are pre-determined. I read the instructions, he looks at the pictures and somehow, we make it through without yelling, throwing things and generally f--ng it up. I keep opinions to myself unless asked (I know right?) and yield to his logic and use of tools where I would just jam things together with a kitchen knife. Instructions always seem to be deliberately vague, and a lot of guesswork ensues. However, every bolt was used so I call that a win.
JP turns 14 this week so we are invited to his bowling party. I have been feeling I could maybe try to bowl despite all the extra internal hardware. Course I never could before so what makes me think I'd be any better now that I can't bend over. Actually, maybe that would be an advantage. JP can tell me what I'm doing wrong for a change... Peace Out/Stay Strong/Love Your Neighbor/Eat More Cake💚💙💛
