We are home now from blood tests, breakfast at The Dari, a quick stop at Harps for groceries, and a stop to pick up our mail.

We were impressed with the new Greenwood clinic – all bright and shiny, large, and spacious. There are TWO check-in places now, more doctors, more staff, more space. Of course, we parked the farthest from where we needed to go, but that’s just the way things go for us. :0)

I got the best blood test stick I’ve ever had. I praised the lady profusely, telling her AFTERWARD that I used to have nightmares before a blood test and that people had trouble taking my blood because of rolling veins, not being able to find a good vein, etc. The BAND she tied around my arm hurt more than the stick! Amazing. We were in and out quickly.

We had a delicious, though expensive, breakfast at The Dari afterward. I love being able to eat out AND stay on my low carb eating plan. My husband enjoys being able to have hashbrowns as a part of his breakfast, so both of us were sitting there and grinning throughout.

We’re home for the day now. The doors are open, letting in a nice breeze. It’s 75 now and we’re due for a high of 84. The humidity isn’t bad, so we MAY be able to get through the afternoon without a/c. NICE! My husband is taking a nap in his recliner and I’m catching up on computer stuff.

I hope you’ve started a peaceful, enjoyable day.

Labor Day 2024

Holy Spirit Church

I just read about strikes by hotel workers at vacation destinations around the country for Labor Day. After reading several articles, the issue seems to be a complicated one, and I’m certainly not in a position to judge.

My husband wants to go to our local grocery store this morning, so we’ll do that, hoping it’s open. We have no plans otherwise.

I hope to finish adding pics to my Etsy site today and then will experiment with whether I can make other changes. I think I’m almost to the finishing point on my ‘cat’ wood burned sign, too. I’ll post a pic when it’s done.

Our weather is cooler and less humid today – an extremely welcome change. I might actually spend some time outside today!

I hope that you are enjoying a wonderful family and friend time today filled with fun things and lots and lots of love.

Hump Day 3-13-2024

Pinterest – sorry, the artist was not listed.

Yesterday I got the wood blanks I ordered recently as my birthday present to myself. I’m thrilled, though intimidated, about actually USING the blanks yet. I’ll continue to practice before actually jumping in, but I’m excited. Here they are –

Hopefully today will be a quiet, uneventful day. I’m planning for us to get our mail and grocery shop. We’re forecast for possibly severe weather tomorrow, so I’m waiting to get and plant veggies until next week.

I’ll make another pass through all the paperwork from Password Safe, but I think I’ll be finished. It will be nice to have everything secure and much easier to use than the notebook I’ve been using and entering everything manually.

Have a wonderful hump day.

Sunny Sunday 3-3-2024

sam – @Briton65Sam on X

I’m on a definite roller coaster with my weight this past week. I’m still weighing daily as my accountability to myself, but I’m trying to think of it only as a ‘monitor’ – a starting point for the day. It would just be nice if the scales lost their smirk a bit. Yesterday I made keto chili. Suzanne Ryan’s recipes in Simply Keto are really good. I also had a Mission Zero little bitty tortilla, (zero NET carbs due to 7 grams of fiber) and that was good, taking the place of the dinner roll I had been eating before I started watching my carbs again.

I’m earning a sparkly star for my desk calendar daily, continuing since Feb. 18th. Not a ‘habit’ yet, but I’m a tough nut on building those, and will continue my efforts.

I’m doing laundry and we’ll go shopping for groceries later, and that’s the ‘excitement’ for our day, other than the “Sausage, Egg & Cheese Bake” from Simply Keto for our dinner tonight.

I hope your Sunday is fabulous.

Rainy Friday 7-21-2023

It’s dark and stormy-looking right now. Some of the forecasts say the rain will stop before we’re supposed to leave to join our friends at Lunch Bunch. We’ll probably go anyway, but we won’t go grocery shopping if it’s pouring. It’s nice not to wake up to fry-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk temperatures this morning. It’s only 80 right now.

My husband got the belt back on the mower and finished the yard yesterday, so HIS part is finished. I was going to weed whack today. Maybe I’ll still be able to do that later today.

I spent yesterday afternoon trying to find out why our American Express card charge wouldn’t go through for the meds I was trying to buy for my husband. The phone tree thingy said the card was fine, but the chat lady said the card had been canceled due to inactivity. We reapplied, were accepted and should get new cards in the next week or so. Then the NEXT time we order the meds, we can use the new card.

No time spent in my art room yesterday, but maybe things will smile on me this afternoon, no new crises will have erupted, and I can spend awhile playing. There’s always a CHANCE! :0)

Meanwhile, I wish you a happy Friday and a wonderful weekend.
