Good Morning! Its 50°right now at 4:30 AM. The rain has stopped but we got just over 4″ this weekend. I had my Dr appointment with my new NP……I liked her, she was very nice and very thorough. She is going to slowly change my BP meds and dosage because i have been taking too high of a dosage. I take lisinopril 40mg tabs twice a day. She also told me to stop taking Omeprazole and see how that goes. It is for heartburn. My BP was high and has been my last few visits she noticed. Then I had… Read more »

Great that you have very nice NP.

Pleased that you have got out of jury service. 70 or over here and you do not get called again.😀😘

I bundle up and am okay walking. I still see young people with shorts and tiny tops on ( this is a college town ) running up the road when I go up to the street sidewalk to walk. I haven’t gotten out the knitted hat and gloves and scarves…yet. 😀

Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, nLynn, Pam.
A cool night but managed to make it to 6-00 this morning just as the heat came on.
Breathing not too bad these days the inhalers working better than the last one.
Having a bit of trouble with my hearing aids now not working as they should.
Got an appointment with Spec-Savers at 11-0 on Saturday morning.
Needs retuning I hope.

Good Morning! At 9 AM it’s sunny and 57 going up to 70. Yesterday I didn’t feel well. By Sunday mid afternoon I felt worse. I had to ‘rule my kingdom’ for about 2 hours and then went to bed without eating dinner (no appetite) around 5:45 PM. Craig chose to sleep on our sofa overnight so his snoring wouldn’t disturb me. I was able to get up this morning around 5:20 AM (Craig’s alarm goes off at 5:30 AM) so I had time to get ready and take care of feeding our kitties before he needed to prepare his… Read more »

I posted my comment above from my Android phone but this time it gave me an error when I tried to attach my screenshot. Therefore, I had to save the screenshot to my iPad Pro and post it from there. A few weeks I had no problem attaching and posting screenshots from my phone.

Good morning,
Sunny again today and warmer now at 38 degrees going up to almost 70.
I so much dislike this time change. Dark before 5pm.
I took a late afternoon walk and took pictures of the ducks in the pond here. It is scary how dried up it is now they barely have water. We do need rain desperately, it has been completely dry for so long.
We went for a Sunday drive that was still very nice with the last of the foliage. We stopped for hamburgers and fries at a Five Guys.

I know, it really hit me yesterday how drastically low the pond is now. They were walking not swimming in the water. We do have rain forecasted starting tomorrow. It has been a very long dry spell. Though I love the sunny nice days we do need rain.

I am sorry you had to put up with all the loud noisy fireworks. I don’t like them at all either, they always scare me.
Hope the guy has come and you have your tap fixed for watering.

It rained ALL day yesterday…actually it rained all weekend and is still raining.
I have a 8:00 am appointment with my new NP since Julie was fired…..I am pretty anxious about this.

Good Monday morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
A cool morning just 44F so the boiler has fired up again.
Will get to 53R later which is above the average for the time of year.
Will be just right if the temp can stay in the 59F range.
Will make the Winter weather that much shorter.
We haven no rain or named storms this week.
Hope you all had a restful Sunday.
Sorry you lost your barrel cactus Ardy.😀😘

Hi Jenn.
I love my easy Sundays.
I have always known it from tradition from years ago when the shops shut on a Sunday for a day go rest.
Not too bad today but the wind has swung around to the North now so a bit cooler from now on.
You are starting your day very cool but your day temp is very good.😘

Good morning Ice
We are bummed we lost our last barrel cactus. I see on FB many people lost saguaros and that is tragic too

Mega-bummer!! The saguaro was probably over 200 years old. All this rain and the roots couldn’t hold it any more. ……..clean up is going to be real chore…..
