Good morning! Another nice morning here, but you know what we are expecting later this afternoon. This summer pattern just doesn't want to end. We may not be getting temps in the 90s, but everything else remains summerish.
Kathie - I totally understand not being able to sleep. That happens to me a lot but differently. I have no problem falling asleep, but when I wake up during the night between 3 and 4, I can't go back to sleep. I don't get up and hope I can get back to sleep, but it just doesn't happen. Of course, it helps that Bert snores away and that too keeps me awake.
You had asked about whether Jimmy is still following the diet that went with his surgery. The answer is definitely YES. He has lost around 125 lbs and works out 3 to 5 times a week in the morning before work. Following his diet and with the right meds, Missy has lost 49 lbs! I'm so proud of both of them. Of course, it makes it harder for me to make dinners for them any longer. I might have to buy some of that protein+ pasta made with chickpeas. That's something they can eat.
Dave - How did you manage to get out of the supermarket without any pumpkin anything? That's really hard to do this time of the year. I've got a pumpkin roll in the refrigerator and only eat a small slice. Laurie makes her own and it is so good, but I can't be bothered for just Bert & I. The Publix one is pretty good.
Bill - I hope you and ita made it home without any problems. I bet you're going to be spending a lot of time at home over this weekend with all the rain that's scheduled. The northeast is once again getting it's butt kicked.
Lee - How nice that you were able to get away for a mini vacation and at the right price. You can't beat that. Does this Drury Inn also have the nightly wine tasting? What are you planning to do while in the area?
Our dinner last night was so good. Aside from some peppers & onions that were leftover, everything else was consumed. I had made a few baked potatoes and 2 sweet potatoes. That worked out perfectly. M&J at the sweet potatoes and the rest of us ate the baked potatoes. Jennifer actually at 2 baked potatoes. That little girl has some appetite and she's growing like a weed.
Speaking of Jennifer, she now has a business! She makes beaded bracelets and necklaces. She really does a great job and plans to take a table at the next craft fair in our community. The girl is a natural salesperson and will negotiate on prices. She totally cracks me up.
Not much planned for today. I am so mixed up on what day it is due to the family dinner being on Thursday instead of Friday this week. I keep thinking that I've got a GATOR game to watch at noon today. WRONG!! The game is tomorrow.
Time to do a breathing treatment. It only takes about 5 minutes, but it's still a pain to set it up. May as well get to it before I start to make a western omelet for our breakfast/lunch.
Have a wonderful day, everyone! Don't forget about the super moon this weekend.
