Janet, north Jersey had some terrible flooding last night! Cars in water over their hoods! We got a little rain, but that was all.

I started PT today for the weakness in my legs. The right is definitely weaker than the left. I have exercises to do at home, and I go back on Tuesdays and Fridays. From there we went to First Watch for lunch, then to a store that sells fresh and frozen pasta. Now we’re in for the day. It’s 85 with a humidity of about a thousand percent. 

Trish, not upset at all; in fact, I have thought the same thing. If she lives another year, I would be surprised. I did give her a little of my scrambled egg this morning, but she didn't want it.

Janet, the vet did mention something about IV fluids but somehow that got dropped when we were discussing her prescription. I have to go by there tomorrow to pick up another prescription, so will ask about that.

I don't know what I would do without Greg. He works in IT and does all of that for me. He set up my new TV, ordered the Apple TV box, set up the sound speakers and the sound bar and told me a lot about the apps.

Judy, I do find the CRV is easier to get in than my Highlander.

I ordered a really nice Husky tool box with wheels for the garage. I looked on Amazon for 2 days and there were so many bad reviews. I wanted to get a good one I can leave for Carter, so I ordered it from Home Depot. Will pick it up Thursday. Logan will get my Husky sewing table that also was expensive (not really a "sewing table", but that's my usage of it, lol). He just bought a nice tool box.

It's 93 right now, so I'm staying in. I haven't been anywhere since Saturday. I was headed to Walmart, but haven't made it yet, lol. 
 

Good Morning to everyone!!  Don't know why my car is out of the garage!  Don't know much of anything this morning!!  It is a lovely car with very few miles on it.  It has been in the garage for a long time.  Just one of those things I know nothing about!

Well, I know nothing this morning, so will sign off and go watch TV for awhile.   Hope you all have a wonderful day, BJ.

I started this twice, once the loss was my fault, the second time, it flashed and poof!  Howard is off to lunch with the ROMEOS and to the credit union to try to get our pin numbers for our new debit cards in place.  Ever since he tried by phone, yesterday, he gets a busy signal, only.  I guess we jinx everything, somehow???   This time, I won't be wasting the alone time. I've done a bit too much of that!

Hmmm?  Your car, BJ.  I doubt it was the dog who moved it...maybe Frank, most likely, one of your girls?     Glad you're enjoying your beautiful Washington State summer.

Howard just called--mission accomplished, but not without some rigamarole, of course.  But he had someone at the credit union to help him.  

QB, good luck with Bingo, tonight.  Maybe you'll win the jackpot if there is one.  Glad you're feeling better.  I have those wonky days, too.  Can't figure out why. Just wake up that way.  
LIke you, I take it easy and if I WAS going somewhere, I stay home.  

Shena, next door, brought over a bag of summer squash last evening.  She's overrun with it.  We love all squash so glad to get it.  Had a nice catch-up with her.  Their youngest son graduated and his open house is July 26.  I offered to help her prepare the food, chopping for the potato salad, etc. but she said she was good.  After she left, Howard said, You can't keep up here, and not to offer like that. (He's right.)   Well, I helped her for the first one and wanted to again if she needed it.  Her mother just got out of the hospital with CHF  and she always makes the p. salad. 
Rambling, so going to go.  Have a good day.  
Indy

I got 8 hours sleep last night, but think I need to crawl back in bed and start over.

First, I had my stamp books in the cart. I went and got my wallet, but got sidetracked by a TV show and never did pay for them. 

Today I went and picked up Molly's prescription at the clinic. Chewy.com is $32 and the clinic wants $62. It sucks I have to mail the prescription in, but that's what my clinic requires. I had to add some anti itch shampoo to get free shipping, but $49 is better than $62.

I went to Walmart and did my leisurely shopping, mostly went there to walk. When headed to the checkout, I did not have my wallet! I had left it on the coffee table. I had to put everything back up, but thank goodness it wasn't a lot. I will try again tomorrow.

Went to grocery store at 7am. Lol

OH, Devonne, sounds like something I would do.  Keeping all the balls in the air can be challenging, can't  it?   

It's 71 degrees here this morning--our one day of cooler weather before the heat returns.  Overcast, too.  We've got everything open.  

Linda, that's me, too.  I stop to rest and then it's hard to get going again.  It's not like it used to be when I could keep at something all day if necessary. 

Janet, you must have gotten all the bargains of the day.   From a few days ago...I also can't believe your grandson is that age.  Interesting...his choice of where to go for his birthday? 

We all received an invitation to the Gabriel Home summer picnic on Saturday.  It's where Mom spent her last two years.  They will always be special to us and we'll always be family to them.
And...even Howard is willing to go without complaint.  You can bring something or not, no pressure. (ML is bringing something.  I'm not.)  And besides good old American picnic food, their relatives, friends and neighbors make a variety of  Filipino foods that are more than delicious.   

Well, I'm off.  Ended up wasting the day again, yesterday and that's NOT going to happen today.  Have a good day, whatever you do.

Afternoon y'all! 

Mom is at her new digs!  Had to do memory care.  Can't remember if I told you but the furniture did not arrive when it was supposed to.  The delivery guy said it was denied!  Facility said they never came!  Another Hospice company volunteered furniture until hers arrived then we had a pissing match with the original company that then fired mom as a client, and refused to transport her.  I called the facility, they called the other hospice and got her transported.  Then the battle over who would take care of her.  The 2nd company stated she is not hospice eligible.  So when the assessment day comes, original company is still taking care of her, I need to be able to get my hands on a wheelchair and hospital bed asap!  Will this never end!?!

I am only going every other day to see mom.  It is draining to go every day!  I have things I need to get done!  Tuesday I made a ton of phone calls, all but one on mom's behalf!  

Today is folding her laundry that I picked up yesterday.  Some still has not dried!  In this heat you would think it would take seconds to dry!  Nope! 

Simba is doing great! He is getting quite the deluge of tennis balls from the park!  He loves chasing them and is finally figuring out that if he brings it back we will throw it again!  He drops it for me, but the rest of the family has to remove it from his mouth!  Funny dog! 

Kids are all doing great!  I think Sara's machine issue is fixed!  Alex is still making the condo his own.  Luke is being given additional work days because his boss is leaving and he is doing his bosses job.  It will be over time one week and comp time the next!  If it works for him then all is good! 

Saturday Todd, Alex and myself went to Gaffney to get peaches, yes I live in the peach state and go to South Carolina for my peaches.  They are better tasting!  Then to Ninety-Six, yes it's a place/town.  It's where the first Revolutionary battle happened in the south!  From there hubby found us a place to go to Mass, and after that we went to a Braves affiliate minor league baseball game!  Had a blast!  It was nice to have fun!  

Hubby and I have started a list of what we need to get done/purchase before he retires!  We frequently talk about what we need to do but don't put it down on paper!  Now we have, at least started it!   Probably won't get it all done, but we can at least prioritize things! 

Making a peach pie recipe I found online for tonight.  Supper will be grilled cheese with tomato in it!  Our tomato plants are doing well this year!!

Not much else happening.  Later my Friends! 

GOOD MORNING!

HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL.

SAME WEATHER. HOT, HUMID AND STORMS.

HIP DIDES SEEM TO BE TAKING TURNS HURTING. ONE DAY ONE SIDE, NEXT DAY OTHER SIDE.

WISHING EVERYONE TO BE WELL.

THINKING OF EVERYONE. PRAYERS............

TWO-HEADED HEADLINE.....
BLIND WOMAN GET NEW KIDNEY FROM DAD SHE HASN'T SEEN IN YEARS.

ITS SUNNY AND BRITE AFTER OUR T-STORMS AND MAY HIT 80 TODAY.

MY THOUGHTS ON NEW DOG......IF YOU GET A YOUNG ONE IT MAY OUTLAST YOU AND WHO WOULD TAKE ON ITS CARE.  IF YOU GET AN OLDER ONE YOU TAKE ON THE NEW AGING AND MEDICAL COSTS THAT COME ALONG WITH IT AND THE HEARTBREAK OF LOSING ANOTHER OLDER PET.  THEY WEREN'T WORTH THE HEARTACHE TO ME AFTER I LOST MY CORGI PENNY.

TODAY I HAVE NO SPECIAL PLANS.  I MADE THE NEW BEEF AND ELBOW CASSY YESTERDAY AND FOUND IT WANTING.  IT WAS A BIT TOO DRY.  I THINK THE EGG MIXTURE COULD USE A BIT OF MILK ADDED TO IT WHICH WAS NOT IN THE UTUBE RECIPE.  I SHALL MAKE IT AGAIN WITH MILK ADDED.  THO MY 2 NEIGHBORS BOTH CLAIMED THEY ENJOYED IT WITH ONE SAYING IT ONLY NEEDED MORE SALT.

PLANS ARE ABOUT THE SAME FOR ME LADIES.  A BIT OF THIS, A BIT OF THAT.  I HAVE CHICKEN BREAST DEFROSTING.  I MADE UP A PITCHER OF LEMONADE TO ENJOY.  SLOW AND EASY ARE MOST OF MY DAYS.
HUGS TO YOU ALL.  QB S
