    Sunny greetings! I just had my mint chocolate protein bar. Soup was basil tomato. I get to wear any slog outfit cause the annoying clang bangers are gone. So I'm wearing a fuchsia crop and very short pink shorts. It's cooler but temp always changes. Usually wind ramps up.

    Oh, I did manage to put in Amazon order last night. I picked up random stuff. Nail clippers that are green! I wanted fuchsia. They had black ones. There was a Barbie one but it was black with some printing in pink. I wanted straight out pink.

    Getting more protein bars, a pill splitter, 5 more phone chargers in colours, 2500 black straws. I wanted red like I had but black was the better bargain. I can't member anymore.

    Time to get spf ed.

    Just had din. I'm stuffed. It was meat loaf, mash taters, broccoli, and orange. The clang bangers had a shorter day. Hallelujah! And off tomorrow.

    Did my slog but it was a grind cause of the heat. I had to stop 3 times. I took another vid of Mr X's flowers. I like when the wind blows and moves them.

    Haven't heard from gf yet but she should be back home resting. I'll send her a pretty get well gif soon.

    Tomorrow's another slog day. Think I'll do some ol work now. I'm supposed to do another Amazon order but net was slow.

    Did get some banky done. Had two statements to do and guess what? There was my missing stimulus! They had deposited it to my checking account. I didn't expect that. They had said it'd be coming by debit card or check. Or direct deposit. But I didn't use that on taxes. I paid with a check. But the check has account number. Bingo!

    I heard from gf right before her op. They were going to give her a nuclear injection. I looked that up. Not fun. Anyway, she should be all tucked away in her hotel room. What a nightmare. And she had to go to a hospital so far away from her apt. So no one could help her. She's all alone there. Her cat is alone too. But tomorrow her sis will come.

    I'm still listening to the sermons but I get quite dismayed at some. Just hammering how sinful we are, how despicable. But God sends his son for ultimate sacrifice. But you made us! If we were wrong, destroy us and start over. And there's that sister sermon. I like her voice but she speaks way too fast. She actually brought up topic of the devil. None of the other sermons had. But she did. What about all the other religions? Will they go to hell if they don't believe our God? Will we go to the other religions depiction of hell? And there's this one pastor speaking on child rearing. He actually used the word reprobate in reference to a kid.

    Getting late and I have to slog tomorrow. I feel off track.

    Sunny spring greetings! I'm kind of tired. Don't know why. I certainly get enough rest. Gf op is today. Don't know when. Hope it goes well. She was supposed to be moving to Iowa in the spring. That's now!

    So I did vac that back room. Today's Fri omelet day so I guess I'm Inn again. Maybe I can only handle 3xs a week slog. I wanted 4.

    Well, I shall tote out my desky tray. Mr x said it must be break time. No banging. He said, yes, I can see one opening a wrapper on the roof. I said, they're eating on the roof?! I went to see. Yup, he was. They have been making the roof with beams. I said, hopefully when they put the sides and top up it'll be less noisy. They'll be working inside.

    Here's a gross one. Mr x had stored a small covered grill on patio covered in plastic. The plastic was tearing so he went to remove it. There was this loose black cord underneath so he pulled it out. It was a long dead rat! I really ewwd at that.

    I found a small weight set but I think there's one smaller. Like 1# I want to start with the lightest.

    Guess I better put up hair and start desky. Time waits for no one. Time to git er done, son!

    I aborted my slog today. Rats. And I had even had my special protein bar. But I was lagging. And it's a lot cooler. It just seemed too tiring to go out. So I aborted.

    Plus my foot has a hot spot. I had worn this heavily padded Sox on my last slog. I thought it was great. And my knee didn't even click. But a hot spot can lead to a blister. I have this liquid bandage. It's great. Instead of a bandage that can wrinkle, you paint on this waterproof barrier. Very cool. Then my tum is a bit off. I'd just take a tums for that.

    I em gf. She's driving to Oakland and will have her surgery tomorrow. She had to take a painful virus test. Negative. She'll be staying overnight at a Marriott's.

    As for me, I'm vac. Just did the hall. Next back room. Got to pull something productive out of this day. I used the purple cafe maker. Worked well. Temp was very hot. Only concern is how lightweight, cheap it is. Mr x cleaned out the filter and I told him to be careful opening the lid. It's that fragile. Would I recommend it? So far, maybe. If you can handle it with care. You wouldn't want to present it at an Airbnb. It's not for normal use.

    Greetings! I just took more video of Mr xs flowers. This one plant is gorgeous with magenta, fuchsia, and pink. Unfortunately, it only blooms now. Rest of the year it's dull scrub. I asked him the name and he looked it up. Some Latin thing. Funny how they used to teach Latin. Whatever for? Look up flower names?

    I'm supposed to be delving into a productive desky day. Bhaha! Ain't happening.

    What have I done? I went thru top shelves of hall closet. Pulling down stuff I may toss. I also wanted the plug switch for new Cafe maker. I need to run a cleaning batch thru. Machine is so light. So insubstantial. So cheap.

    I read all the outstanding paper. We don't get the free Sunday paper anymore. But Mr x still picks up the free paper in town. Anyway I found an interesting article.

    It was a baseball player, I think. He's 100 now. I love reading folks histories. He was a dashing pilot in the war. Gave up his sports career for his gf. They're still together. She's 99. I am still in amazement how someone so young becomes so old. I can't fathom it.

    I'm reading this Agatha Christie with this intrepid, young couple. Tommy and Tuppence. She would do a few stories with them. And they were very good. But she aged them. In later story they were old. Yet still doing their investigative ways. But they're old! Limited. But they were young. I just don't get this.

    On Twitter someone posed a query. Why are Adam and Eve sometimes painted with a belly button? That was a great question.

    I guess I do odd tasks today. Plus my eyes are crossed. I've dropped the eye exercises ball. I'm going to start the weights for arm toning. Going to start with the lightest I have. Work it for a week then go up. I do not want visible muscles and nothing like Madonna's gnarly guns. Just toned.

    Now for an ensure. Then mayhaps a nap, perchance to snooze.

    I am so toast. I was slogging in 87• not much wind. I brought in the mattress cover. Next I'll wash the down comforter. Mr x talking to Corona nabe. I didn't recognize his voice. It's on speakerphone.

    I have a slight headache from the heat. Next time I'll bring my ice towel. I bring a container of ice water and dunk towel. I'm using this bottle mister while slogging. I mist my arms, face. Even ears, that's the best.

    Think I'll take cool dip. They're talking baseball players now.

    Sunny greetings! Going to be 80+ yesterday was about 85• I was busy. I washed the mattress cover in the bathtub. Later hung it over the clean chairs outside. I bet it's already dry.

    Then I did some desky. Updated Amazon invoices. Checked my capital one debit charges. Their site wasn't working well. I'm ready to cancel two accounts.

    Mr xs pals have been coming around. He rode with Corona nabe, the political nabe dropped by, bike pal called. Political nabe kind of nit pics. Mentioned the hedge needed trimming. So Mr x did it. He also sanded and polished the wood bannisters. Looks shiny like a piano now.

    Then there's a flower box on porch. Mr x would plant flowers there. But hasn't in years. He put an ugly board with planks on it to keep out cats from pooping. Amazon puts my packages on it. The political nabe mentioned flowers that would do well there.

    Well Mr x went to nursery and got some flowering maples. But for the backyard. I'll check them out today when I slog.

    So I hit 35 GBS on consumer Cellular. They then throttled me. Nothing opens like Twitter pics. I found tho that they then offer more high speed GBS. 10 GBS for $10 that's $1 a gb. Extremely cheap. But their unlimited stops at 35. Humph.

    I lost a blog here yesterday. So I went away in a snit. My consumer Cellular phone froze. And that's the end of that. Don't know why it did that. I'm now on 34 gbs. Have one more day to go.

    I slogged today. Quite warm but pesky wind kicked up. Like 17 mph. Kept heat down but cooler on lounge. I didn't stay out reading. I finally washed patio furniture. Had to scrub off marks from the fence guy. They act like the table is a picnic one where it doesn't matter if you leave marks. But it's white plastic. The black marks remain. It is very satisfying knowing it's clean. And Sunday so no clang bangers. I wore my red crop and red shorts which I prob wouldn't on work day with those Men clang bangers looking on.

    What I wrote yesterday was that I activated the 3 mo mint mobile. It was relatively easy. I get 15 gbs/mo.

    Finished an Agatha Christie mystery. It was so long and I was reading other books simultaneously. It was the person least expected. I started another one. Tuppence and Tommy.

    I missed a day here. Today fed Wally for 6 hrs. Also sorted a couple clothes shelves. Need to pull the heavier long leggings. Had gun smoke and Bonanza on.

    I've used almost 33 GBS and I have 3 days to go. So I have to do an inn day tomorrow. The mint mobile kit came. Need to set it up. Then I saw some ad about att with some 100 gb deal? Have to check that out.

    Yesterday I slogged. Wore my crop top even tho I am still a bit zaftig. I weighed myself. 118# lost a pound.

    Tomorrow is also supposed to be cooler. Yesterday I sat out after for some hours. I'm also going to do experiment with GBS. I won't listen to you tube for a couple weeks. I need to see how much I use just normally. I blew up my you tube by listening for hours. This is like budgeting money. It's ok tho. I was reading Sue Grafton's book.

    Started a new book about a boy and his grandfather. The boy was born in 1944. His family was in the center of the war and his father was a Nazi. It's interesting seeing their side. The grandfather was quite unique guy. He was extremely rich, extremely Wiley. He did not approve of his son being a Nazi. The Kennedy's were mentioned. They were rubbing shoulders with them, too.

    Time for a dip now 🛁

amazing as it sounds, i passed the dmv vision test. i was quite apprehensive in days leading up to it. every nite religiously doing the eye exercises. straining, straining to see, imagine, the dinky little letters. when it came time to test, i didnt even falter! i guess i could see the shapes good enough to recognize. mr x came with me. we had a 2.5 hour wait. he started grumbling part way thru the wait.

other day we were at macs. tried their new ice mocha. yum!

then yesterday hung out with bro for 5.5 hrs. he had these dumb rebate cards to redeem and he didnt need anything. so we went to walgreens, 2 cvs, and a tjs. i caught up on my shopping. we hit a macs and i tried the caramel macchiato. even better than the mocha. we got along very well. we had been estranged a long time. but now i suppose i will eventually move closer to him. he lives in san jose. not a place id like to be. maybe i can move nearby on the coast. would like some fog weather.

so i passed my big hurdle. can relax now and get back to normal. have to hire a drywall guy.

just finished a great read. about uber rich ladies and the scam perpetrated against them. a good frothy read. hey, its fall i believe! got bottle of pumpkin spice latte by starbucks. so curious to taste it.

welcome to fall! time to bring out the sweaters.

finally got back here. we had a plumbing event. on labor day mr x noticed water running off front lawn. a water main had broke. a small 2" gush was gushing out. mr x called water company who turned off water. then i called our go to plumber. a solution was to replace pipe to house. however id been wanting to replace the pipes one day. we had no hot water at bathroom sink and cold faucet was dribbling out. i knew it was a matter of time. then. we didnt have hot or warm water in washer. only cold. thats why my wash would take hours. so i decided to kill all birds with one stone. i replaced all pipes with copper. it took a total of 5 days. we had no water for 3 days. first day we used wipey dypes. 2nd day mr x warmed water jugs in sun and we bathed with a gallon of water. i helped mr x wash his hair on back lawn. i viewed the experience like camping. its doable, but im not keen on it. 3 guys were here. all spoke spanish. so i decided to learn spanish on phone app. itd be nice to be able to converse with them.

im doing eye exercises. plan on taking vision test next week. its better not doing close work, which ive done my whole life. reading way too much. better to look at scenery. i think ill continue the eye exercises.

we had really hot temps, then other day first rain of the year! it began with a thousand lightening strikes. scary, and weird for this area. it started brush fire couple towns over. also monsciour ugly was caught on film sliding his grotesquely ugly body under a residents fence. # the outrage

id been watching lovely old films, then the plumbing debacle. i have to bring in a drywall guy to patch up the holes the plumber left. already found my guy thru yelp.

back to school time, but kids already back. when did that start? and no telethon with jerry lewis. he really wanted to hit 100.

its been super hot here. sf broke record. something like 106. we were 107. i was taking 3 showers a day. would sit outside at nite for air, started watching my dvd player. watched, british intelligence, with boris karloff. such an intimidating man. it was a ww1 flick in blk/wh. got bit by mosquitos. its the gift that keeps on giving. next nite sprayed off on.

got couple more weeks for eye exercises then have to take dmv vision test. strangely enough, the pinhole glasses im using seem to help. before i couldnt see without glasses without closing an eye. now im able to read my phone without glasses. of course, i return to glasses asap.

the smoke from oregon and calif fires drifted down here. could smell it slightly. today its a strange totally overcast day, but warm.

your friendly, pink weather girl.

hi izzy! i know what you mean. its fun to read new blogs. kind of like toothpaste. if nothing to read, ill read the tube. tube tops. i thought those were the dumbest things. then my wing went out once and i couldnt finagle a bra. so had to get the tubes. so easy to put on. i have them in colors, of course. fuchsia, lime, orange.

im writing on lappy, my laptop. too onerous to text on my phone.

its been a long, hot summer. i look forward to fall temps when i can don my beloved denim jackets.

izzy, that was interesting telling of what a nuclear stress test is. what is the nuclear part? the dye? it sounds so high tech. nuclear. do you glow now:)

i need to clean my fans. some arent openable. need some kind of thin bristle brush.

a few cities over madame ugly and her spawn were spotted. search partys are out since they came down where schools are. i noticed their looks didnt improve over the summer.

did i mention mr x found a dead rat on back lawn. thankfully he disposed of it. he said it was 17" with tail. # ick

see you in september!

my newest project is trying to buy glasses ol.

last nights movie was a doris day musical. she can really dance. and tap. that is an odd dance move. the guy was doing it on a staircase. itd be kind of neat to suddenly break into a tap dance.

then i started a cary grant and rosallnd russell movie.

i made up 5 packs of indonesian ramen. made oodles of noodles. heard ramen is hot commodity in prisons. ramen wth an egg on top. # breakfast is served

i should try on my cargo shorts again. itll probably be another year till i can wear them. i sure love the pockets. i used to be a tomboy back in my tomcat days. but i grew out of it. i get more favorable responses when i dress ladylike.

We had to replace the water pipe to our house, years ago, when we had our own house. BF and a friend did the work.
A root from a tree had punctured the pipe...so the tree was felled.
The lawn never recovered from the line that had to be dug into it to access the pipe.

I bet its nice to have working water again!

Plumbing is the most odious of all home repairs. Like eew

OMG, the smoke from the fires drifted into Colorado so thick that it allowed one to look directly at the sun without seeing spots when looking away!
We could barely make out the shapes of the mountains through the heavy smoke.
When the sun had set and the moon had risen, the moon looked much like the sun had looked...only the sky was dark!
There was also a fire near Steamboat Springs, Colorado that grew from 2 acres to 419 acres in just a few hours...that also contributed to our smoky air.
The elderly and people with health issues are being advised to stay indoors with the doors and windows closed.
Its really kinda scary to see that much smoke in the air!

I'm glad to hear that the eye exercises and the pinhole glasses are working for you! ...I should try something like that since my aging eyes are failing fast...but I am lazy lately...maybe at another time.
