I’m only laughing at the last part.

I know.


You're frightfully consistent.

I gained 3 lbs this week. Ate like a big... tomorrow is restart....

That was me last week.


I'ma check again here in a bit.

My little girl would love for me to get her a cat!

If you do, I recommend two.


For solitary predators, they like one another . . .


most of the time . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

You must have needed the sleep.

Sources indicate that such was the case.


This damned heat may have had something to do with it, too.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Is she getting it biopsied?

CT scan first. Maybe she'll do what they tell her for step two.


With her, who knows. They're largely on their own to deduce what's going on.

Another early finishing day! My day was so very non-productive. I did get some cherries that I froze into a freezer bag and down to the freezer. I had some in the fridge that got cleaned, sorted, stems pulled, and onto the cookie sheet to be frozen. I also pulled a bag of frozen cherries to make syrup. I think I'll use the leftover pulp in either cookies or cheesecake bars.

I went to my friend's house for dinner the other day. We were watching a group of young bald eagles flying and hunting. Here's a picture of one in a tree.

Didn't occur to me that once I lost mom I would start losing all her close friends. Was recently reminded.

Something similar happened with my late wife’s friends and family. I have rediscovered old friends and discovered new friends from my group of widows and widowers. I’m glad I am close to my children and grandchildren.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

What did you make with them?

A coffee cake.

Yep. It makes me sleepy too.

Good morning Wat. I am sorry to read about your mom. Mine was overjoyed to tell me everything until it was serious. It scared me. Now I’m older and issues developing I try to balance what to share with the kids. For example I waited until the prostate biopsy was done and had a discussion with my doctor. I was fortunate as it was the lowest grade which meant I would die of something else before cancer.

Remember she is scared. Vent here.

It is an amazing place! So many inlets, twists, and turns. The natural architecture is awesome! Unfortunately, now the lake is way low due to not enough water from the rivers.

I recall seeing pictures of how low it is. I wonder what will happen in the future.

Thank you. The good little doctor has always been an odd duck, and she has a family history of information control and of seeing us kids as too fragile to handle Life's Tough Shit. All of this is, of course, a load of crap. But she still thinks that's she's the smartest person in the room, so there's that. Anyway, it is what it is, and more importantly, it ain't what it ain't. Just another chapter . . . .

Are you weighing yourself daily? If so, stop it! Your weight will fluctuate depending on weather, water, and when/what you eat. You'll see a smoother decline if you weigh weekly.

I try weekly but sometimes more frequent... it is a sickness

I love the sound of falling water. We have a dry pond with a water rock in the front near the door.

Very relaxing!!

Common sense is not so common. Quoting an old friend of mine.

Right, it ain’t

 

[Missk_2022]

That is substantial!!

Seriously, hope people and property are all OK

One street over flooded basement and there was standing water and outside of the village it was high.... and running... people were warned to not drive through.... I stayed home and prayed... we just did work on our storm sewers and the flooding is better in the flooding parts of tge village but that much water that fast is tough.... we are also surrounded by a creek that regularly runs over the banks

Turn around, don't drown is something I hear on the stations down here. I am on the hairy edge of a flood zone but am not required to have flood insurance. I think I may bet some but homeowners insurance down here in FL cost so much!

R you headed to work tonight or tomorrow

I put it in the microwave if too frozen....
