Just touching base


I'm still here and doing well.  Haven't been anywhere except to the gym the past two days, because I spent most of my money earlier in the month.  No sense in walking into any kind of a store.  With two of my kids plus a granddaughter having birthdays in November, I need to hold off on my spending for now!

Joe plans to put a coat of sealant on my roof tomorrow or the next day, plus put the cover back on the swamp cooler.  I may wish I waited a bit longer, but so far the temperatures haven't really required running it and I'd rather be prepared for rain.   Wishful thinking maybe?

No news on the puppy front, and I'm tired of stressing about it.

Did anyone else see the two very bright objects in the southeast sky in the early morning?  As far as I can tell the brightest one is Sirius, but I'm open to correction on that.  I saw them about 3 or 4 am.

So unless something comes along for me to write about, I just can't think of another thing.

Some years ago my 3 kids in Sacramento began to take turns once a month in hosting a dinner for the others.  It is usually elaborate and very tasty, and often follows a theme.  They haven't done it for a while because of the holidays, birthdays,...

Before beginning the arduous task of reading blogs that I've neglected during the past week(I haven't been on the computer nearly as much as usual), I thought I'd write a few paragraphs. I am a little edgy today probably because of my upcoming...

- Another Doctor Visit
I need to get to bed earlier tonight than I have been lately, as I have to be downtown to see my doctor for a follow-up at 9:30 am tomorrow.  I've become used to staying up later and staying in bed longer in the morning.  I think my mattress...
