Daily Oood: Wednesday, July 27

*peeks at the calendar from behind my hands*

Yes, it really is almost the end of July. Eek. It really is going way too fast. It does not help that it is *freezing* this morning, I have goosebumps on my legs.
I have great news-- my mom and I booked a room at a cute B&B in Spring Lake for Sept 12-14!! *happy dances* She feels bad that the only rooms had a queen or king bed and a pull-out sofa bed. I'll live-- I told her if the sofa bed is awful, I will climb into the King bed with her. I am used to squishing in a Queen with Gary and dogs-- all of whom snore. It's about a 10-minute walk to the beach so I can walk over if she is sleeping in. She's very excited and needs something to look fwd to. I could see the difference in her attitude/mood after it was officially done.

I barely saw anyone yesterday- Scott popped him for dinner which was nice. He tries to take his break around 5 pm and if he is local, he comes by to sit and eat with us. Cait and Tom went to look at a wedding venue (*gulps*) and then to a panel discussion at her school on "Life After Roe V Wade." She invited me to go with them, which was sweet. Can't wait to pick her brain about it later on

I am cleaning today and have to figure out what I am going to cook for dinner. Same old. same old

xoxoxo

@LSlycord So sorry that the dentist is on the Naughty List for you. Do you go on abx before cleanings or dental work? Scott had to do that for years when he was little- he was born with a heart defect but it has improved enough to where he doesn't need to do that anymore. Hugs to you, anxiety stinks.
It has to be hard to watch that show with Syd but thank goodness you have such a great relationship with her and that she knows she can talk to you about difficult topics.

@BrightEyes how are you today, did your BP ever come back to where it should be normally? Any less brain foggy?
Wow, that is a *lot* of plums! Do you cook with them or just eat them in hand?

@Cherylndesigns I feel bad for your plants too! I am cheering them all on -- grow, roots, grow!!
Did you get any neat pics of the pool?

@bcgal00 I am still not sure how I would feel about the helicopter ride over the glaciers- but I imagine that it would be amazing, to see the glaciers before they all melt, It has to be so exciting, the anticipation of it all. Talk about a shock to the system- going from the heat wave to cool/cold temps. Good luck with the room upgrades!

@taxed4ever Make sure you bring extra water if you go on the hike today.
yuck-- Sorry that you had a wonderful spa day then came back and had to pay bills-- there went your feeling of Zen... *poof*

@tanteva checking in on you and Marten!

Morning, all. Yes, Chris.... my BP is back where it should be this morning. Still feeling a bit tired so will be taking another day or so away from the computer. Spent about an hour putting the newest DVDs in alphabetically order with the older ones yesterday morning. Ended up doing a double stack (2 rows deep X 4 per shelf) to fit them all in and still leave space to add a lot more. I read (and napped some) in the afternoon. Since the plums are on the small side, I will be eating them... not cooking with them. Most need more time to ripen so have them laid out on cookie sheets on the kitchen island. Good thing that I spent time picking plums yesterday as the wind came up last evening and was whipping the tree branches around. Only had a couple of plums on the ground this morning.

Need to go to the post office to drop off some bills and make a couple of other stops while I am out. Have to buy a new wireless mouse as the one I was using (now on the old computer) has really gone crazy and won't track like it should now!! It is several years old so needs to be replaced. No point in messing with trying to copy stuff off the old computer until I get the new mouse.

It will take some time to get adjusted to working on DH's computer and to get it set up the way I want. Need to clean up the bookmarks and several other things like that. But... not going to tackle that until the brain/body is feeling more normal.

Good morning ladies. It's a scorcher here this week. I sure hope the pub we are going to for dinner (a friend's b-day) has good A/C. It will be over 100 today. We have 2 episodes of Joe vs Carol so will watch that tonight if we are back early enough from dinner. I need to go out for errands this morning so will head out soon. It's Jen's b-day tomorrow so want to get a gluten-free cake for her. It's D's b-day on Sat so will try to find a carrot cake for him. We haven't found any around here so will do a search for bakeries and see if I can find one.

@faerywings Glad to hear you and your mom have a B&B to go to in September. Glad that is lifting your mom's mood.

@BrightEyes Getting a new mouse sounds like a good idea. I was so happy when I got new ones for my laptop and PC. My old ones lagged a tiny bit but I never really paid attention until I got the new ones and realized how fast and responsive they were.

I'm getting one more coffee and then hopping in the shower so I can go run errands before it hits the 90's soon.

Good morning all.

Chris, @faerywings how exciting to have your plans confirmed and I can just feel your mom's looking forward to it .Sounds perfect and so close to the beach. That should be a perfect time to go. It's so funny you asked about the pool. I did get a decent picture of the progress last night. It was getting to be toward evening, but you can tell how close it's getting. The "arrow" I drew is an area that will be shallow and just for waterproof beach chairs - it will be perfect for sunning. You can tell how deep the pool will be. They're just waiting for the gunite to come in and it will be poured.



There will be concrete or pavers (I'm not sure) all the way out to the pool.

Kay @BrightEyes, glad you're feeling better and the bp is normal again. I'm sure messing with all that transferring of computers messed with you. I know it does me.

Better get dressed and ready for my day - I've been up for awhile, but working on other things.

XOXO
