I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Belated happy birthdays to all I’ve missed.

Headed out of the house for the first time in 5 days. Covid test negative this morning and I never had a fever. I’ll be grocery shopping like a fiend today, woohoo!

Also going to start a house clean up as I have houseguest coming on Thursday. - roomba downstairs
- vacuum upstairs
- bathroom scrub down
- all winter clothes put away/culled

Which is going to take some doing since I’ve basically been sitting on my ass in a recliner for 5 days. 14.5 movies watched in 5 days y’all and a full season of Dog House Australia and I worked 4 of those days.

Do it in spurts, msbelle, and rest often! Glad you're feeling better. Or, I guess, I hope you're feeling better since you have all this on your agenda.

I had a decent low-key chore accomplishment day yesterday -- four loads of laundry done and put away (I usually do laundry more often, but it got away from me this week), cleaned the kitchen and tidied the dining room.

Also, we did the crossword, played Mario Golf and generally chilled. I watched a lot of Supernatural as I was doing stuff. I'm also working on a jigsaw puzzle! It's been forever since I've done one. Fun.

Our wings are not tired.

I am back in Otter Lake. The day of travel from Ohio was much smoother. Still, my body took issue with the whole trip. This time it was the shoulder and hands that hurt. I'm pacing myself today as I attack the entire house cleaning and organizing thing.

Four weeks on the new diet and I've lost 7 pounds. Some of that may be the difference in location. The scale is always friendlier to me in the mountains as opposed to sea level. I'll see what the difference is when I fly back for a visit next month.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Dicky Lovelady is looking pretty limp in his first appearance for the Mets.

Always Anti-fascist!

maybe it's one of those ironic nicknames...

Good work! My scale is five pounds off from the one at my doctor's office, so I mentally have to adjust.

Personal Ozempic Report: I've lost 27 lbs in 3 months. First month at 0.5mg, then two months at .75. And I upped to 1mg for this month.

Excepting the birthday cake and celebratory pizza I've been eating well.

No Pilates next week as the studio is closed for summer break and equipment maintenance. I'll have to do some running while it's down.

I've been enjoying having my niece out this week, but that has been accompanied with lots of going out to dinner, so I'll probably be austere for a week after she's gone to get back in the groove.

My birthday was fun and low key. Made both kids and niece watch Local Hero with me and they enjoyed it. I told Emmett (a Star Wars nerd) to pay attention to the cast because one of the main characters was in the first movie. Then I got to tell him that Denis Lawson was no only Gordon in Local Hero, but Wedge Antilles in Star Wars, and that Lawson was also the real life uncle of Ewan McGregor.

I heard he was being sent down for hot prospect Cox Cumpleaser.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Local Hero

Did he recognize the 12th Doctor?

Did he recognize anyone else in the cast?
