Travel
I took a stack of books back to the library this morning and got another stack to take home. They are all paperback mysteries, not the scary kind but with themes, such as cooking, B&B, quilters, etc. Usually they amount to a fun read and I can easily read one in a day if I don't do much else.
I made a quick trip to the grocery after I got my books - I was out of milk, half & half, and bananas - I picked up a package of frozen corn dogs (16 in the pkg) and had 2 for lunch. They were actually pretty good. I stood by the ice cream freezer for a while but walked away from the Klondike bars empty-handed. I've felt virtuous ever since, but now and then I wish a box had just fallen into my cart.
I made arrangements with the roofer I liked (both him and his quote). He told me he is booked the rest of the week but would get to it on Saturday or Sunday depending on how his current jobs are going. We talked briefly about the work he will do, and I feel like he does a good job of explaining it. It will be good to have it done before I leave for NY, and I really hope it will rain after the work is done and before I take off.
I feel pretty good about life in general today, although the trip to the gym yesterday no doubt has something to do with my good mood. After my tasty lunch I'm not really hungry for supper even though it's almost 6:30. Since I want to hold on to my 126# I'll have to eat, but it will be a late supper.
- I'm Still Around
I worked out at the gym last night with Jeannie, and noticed they had made available some recipes for St. Patrick's Day milkshakes. Since it contains delicious things that I like, including ice cream, milk, and whipped cream, as well as the...
- Check-in; Updated
I thought I'd better let everyone know I'm alive and well. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and I ate a bit of everything on the table. Didn't feel very well during the night but figured it was that I'm not used to all the...
- Rain, And More Rain
I don't remember how many straight days of rain we've had, but it looks like it will continue for at least the next 10 days! I can't complain, though, as the rain should greatly ease the worst of the drought conditions. The best...

Yesterday I went over to stay with grandson Liam while Meg went to the doctor. I drove through some heavy rain getting to their house, but only a mist coming back. As always I'm happy to be with my grandchildren, and worn out when I get...
- Get A Move On!
That's what I keep telling myself. I plan to leave in about 10-12 days from now, and will just get there the easiest way possible, hopefully not over I-80. I had vowed I would never again drive through Bakersfield or Barstow, but I may...
