Hazy morning greetings from our house to yours! Mr x has been running his mouth for 4 hours. Im mentally exhausted. What he sees in the paper, all the movie plots he's seen since i last saw him. What he thinks of all my relatives. He just went to look at his tomato plants. My energy is sapped and today's a slog day.

I have to regroup. Focus. Listen to my music. Going to wear this gel cap for my blistered toe. I used to have toe prob from running. Id lose the nail. So i bought gel caps.

Yesterday was patio day. Did 20 min with the skates. It went ok. Tried the new skateboard. I sat on it and rolled down the alley. Both ends tilt up. I sat too far back and it tipped me on my bum. That was the moment mr x chose to watch me. He said i tipped backwards in slo mo.

I went to grab the last Tupperware of my cake in the big freezer. My mouth dropped. Mr x has now commandered All four shelves with his stuff. Wow. I have one more container of washed brown rice. Where am i supposed to store my rice when i get more?

Sometimes i don't know how i ever make it out to exercise. I could so return to bed. Mr x didn't bike today to let off some of that energy. Corona beer nabe commented how social mr x is. How he seems to know everyone. True, that. He loves talking to folks. Please, talk with him! Otherwise he talks to me! He's sucked all the oxygen out of the room. I smell smoke. I hope nabes aren't using fireplace. It's cooler today.

Unusually early greetings emanating from a pinprick You Are Here! representing my small town in North America. Im having an ensure. Also had maple oatmeal packet and half an avocado.

I decided to patio. Will skate, skateboard, and twist board. Im not up to balance board yet. Got out helmet and purple cane. I use the cane while I'm trying to stay upright with the skates.

Still kind of tired from the heat yesterday. And i have a blister on a toe. How did that happen? I wear double max Sox and put a spongy insert in shoe. And my right shoulder is barking a lil. So i don't want to scooter where ill have to use arms.

Much cooler today. Much appreciated.

Warm, westerly greetings from my pink bejeweled cottage resting at the dock of the bay! We have two fans going and Mr x opened the front door. It's that hot.

I knew it was going to climb, but it exceeded my expectations. When i went out to slog, it was 83• Surely nothing to scoff about... and don't call me shirley! I only lasted 20 min then had to rest. Later, returned to finish off the 25 min. I had to keep going down the alley for shade. Oh, it was 93• when i went in!

Because it was Friday mr x made his yummy pizza omelet. Im going to save half next time. It was too much. I had that and an ensure. Still experimenting the best food choices before a slog.

Outfit today was a purple crop and violet shorts. Later, as i lay sacked out on the lounge, Jake from state farm's gardener came and plied his trade. It was like being on an airport take off field. I could not hear my radio.

What else? I reposted a blog on hs site that had disappeared. It turned out better than the original.

Tomorrow is supposed to be 10• cooler. What to do? What to do? I haven't done the skates yet. I did rinse off the furniture. Im going to have to keep track of that now.

Got to answer some em now. Oh, they're starting to gear up selling houses again. And that house across the street that is being remodeled has been stalled these past months. Let the hammering begin!

Today was quite hot, as predicted. I stayed in and fed Wally. Hi Izzy! Good to hear from you! Well, i guess it's my turn to write now. I remember when you used to write a lot. I always tuned in to hear about your adventures!

I have shoved an old towel under Wally. It seemed a bit damp, but no floods. Wild west was on. I really like Jim west. And the lone ranger. Like him, too. But that mask isn't much of a disguise.

I made my necklace holder today. Random mail flyer folded over on a hanger. I punched holes and inserted S hooks. It's exactly what i wanted. Ill try to post a pic.

I did a post on hs site and it disappeared. Grr... no energy to redo.

Guess what?! I found my earring! I have these tiny, girl lever back earrings. I lost one of them. I searched everywhere. It bothered me. What am i supposed to do with one earring? I was going thru my earring shadow boxes where i have earrings inserted in mesh backing. I was looking for any silver ones that needed polishing. Sometimes an earring or two will fall down. I looked down and guess what i saw? The earring that's been missing for months! Score!

I did miss slogging today. Opened back door for the fresh air and i could see the lovely dirt lawn. It's perfect to slog on. Not pretty, granted. But it's like a dirt trail. It's perfect in its own way.

I em that girl. Member the one who read my hs posts and sent me a msg, are you on drugs or something, gf?! What, are we friends now? She lives in Florida. I answered her but then she wrote me two more msgs. Im back where i started.

Boy, I'm getting sleepy. Usually after wash day i take a nap, but today i didn't. I also made mash taters. Mr x went to store again. He was pleasantly surprised i was staying in to feed our voracious friend, Wally. Slogging is very fine, but it doesn't add to the household maintenance.

Night!

Hey, Dazzy!
I have been enjoying reading about your daily goings-on!
The way you write and word things makes it easy and interesting to read.
I have been somewhat blanketed by depression and anxiety lately...so, your posts are a welcomed distraction for me.
I hope that feeding Wally went well and that he didn't piddle on the floor!
Stay safe and well!

Hello, Hello! Can you hear me? Can you hear me now?

It was very hot today. Felt 83• slog wasn't so good. I forgot my purple comb. I told you i have flyaway hair that sticks to my spf back and drives me crazy? I use the comb to scratch the hair off. And it feels so good.

Well, i brought comb in to wash. And didn't return it to its upright position. So, i had a very fraught slog. I was a mass of tics wiggling and trying to reach the hair. But i put up with it. It was my penance for being sloppy. It will not happen again. Im putting 2 combs in my portable tote.

Mr x made bean with bacon soup and i had an ensure. When i got in, my ch was very low. Which is good. I replenished with a slim fast shake.

Im kind of fried tho. I shouldn't still be tired. I think it's the heat. So im planning to stay in tomorrow. Maybe feed Wally. Got tons to do. Plus it's going to be even hotter.

I now weigh 112# That was a surprise. And i was able to wear my authentic hussy midriff bearing crop top. I haven't been able to wear it for 16 years. You actually hung onto a bag of too tight tops for 16 years? You betcha!

I wore the first one i bought. A champion navy one. Paired it with green shorts. I can wear all my shorts too. I have all lengths from modest to a few 2" inseam ones. That will be my trek outfit. The crop and really short shorts. I wear short shorts! Who wears short shorts? As soon as i come in i put on a float top. Slogging/running is the only time i wear tight clothes.

Wrote gf her em. Her bday coming up. I have to find a card. Ill write another reply i owe today. Maybe i can do at least one a day.

Geez, it's stuffy hot in this room even with fan. Got to bring out the big guns fan tomorrow. Hart to hart on. I like that show.

Late evening greetings. I'm kind of hungry, strangely enough. In the past when I was eating my own way, at night I'd be craving this n that. I was doing triscuits. I was making stacks of pbj. I miss those. Oh well, fluctuations of meals.

I found my planner!! It was where it was supposed to be. On my desk which I haven't been lately. I went thru some folders on the floor. Yeah, stacked up against the table leg. I forget what's what.

Mr x has calmed down and is watching Jack Nicholson in hell's angels. Some old movie. He said he's starting to be interested in old movies. That's great.

Someone found a tortoise in a local park. The one I used to hike with gf. They brought it home and advertised on next door that they found it. Supposedly was left there. Mr x agreed. He knows about nature stuff. I know nothing of that stuff.

Maybe I can have a yummy chocolate ensure.

Mr x had a sulking fit... for like 5 min. I thought i was going to have a quiet evening you tubing with carpenter's.

It was over food. Mr x has been making quite yummy din lately. Which was working out well. But then i started slogging. I prefer not to eat much before. An ensure with soup or clif bar. If i have food, i get sleepy and can't function.

Mr x has been filling my plate with lumberjack amounts. Im trying to slim down to wear my bare midriff crop tops. This is not going to turn out well. I would, invariably, have leftovers. Then leftovers the following day. He said, you want a deli Sam? Sure. But i can only eat half. What happens? Leftovers. I have to ask him to skip a day so i can catch up.

Anyway i had his leftover half deli plus more small leftover. How am i supposed to eat din? Usually i liked 7 p.m. long story, short. Sorry, too late. He gets put out saying it's not fair he has to wait so late to eat. Quite fair, I said, but I'm slogging now. Im on a different schedule.

So he goes and prepares his din. Normally he comes in LR to eat. He went in the back room and closed the door! Ooh, he's irked.

Well, i can't help it. Im not stuffing myself so he can feel happy feeding me. Ive had food issues in the past. I had bulimia, starved myself, tried many dumb diets in the past. Im trying to eat healthier these days and manage the ch. Im not stepping into these food wars.

He just gave me a tangerine. Got to go eat it.

Hearty spring greetings from my slowly awakening Q Town in the small bayside district in U.S.A. Thus begins the 8th week of Q Town.

I have not found my planner. I haven't looked. Ima bum. I can't do everything. I owe 5 folks msgs. It weighs on my mind.

But right now my focus is on getting this exercise underway. Ive waited some months to get outside.

So, oops, forgot yesterday. I did do the patio schtick. Did skateboard and 30 min of scooter. I really like to scooter. I am very good on my right foot. Not so much on my left. I ran into the patio post and had another near miss.

It's a very small patio. With 2 lounge chairs, round table, and 4 chairs. I washed all those. I just had a 5 min interruption. Heard calliope music and ran to the window. It sounded like the ice cream truck. But nothing appeared. I thought i was going mad or mr x had some show on loud in the back room. Saw a wild, hugely long, white convertible with top down swish by. Like 60s perhaps.

Disappointed, i returned to couch. Then i heard the music again and turned quickly to see a huge, square, white truck hurry by. It Was the good humor man. I like to hear the music. But i wouldn't buy anything. I can't afford a $16 cone.

We have stuff hanging on patio. 4 small bird whirligigs, clear hanging thing, balloon whirly, hornet catcher, and hummingbird feeder. I have to dodge that balloon and clear thing. Plus dodge the posts. There're 2 seam cracks i go over as i make a round.

Mr x said he watches me slog sometimes. He said once i was really bopping to the music. Must've been cyndi Lauper. I said did you watch me scooter? He said, i heard you hit those bumps. For 30 min. Wow. He said it didn't bother him. Jake from state farm was having another work convo.

I think next time ill cut scooter to 20 min and do something else for 10. I was getting a lil stir crazy going around n around. And i don't relish being a nabe disturbance.

Today was slog day where im supposed to add 5 min. I initially forgot because, I DON'T HAVE MY PLANNER. But i remembered and added it on. I can do 45 min now and i finally have my rhythm back.

When i started, it was like i didn't know how to slog. I was jerky, awkward. My calf muscles were tight and it felt like dragging bowling balls around. It was not fun. Now it's where it should be. And im going a lil faster. I crave being out there now. Im enjoying every step.

But my inside work is taking a hit. Im toast after the slog. I don't do anything productive. Just Twitter and you tube.

Got to push myself. I will try to find that planner right now.

Is it Monday? I just asked Mr x. Ive lost track of the days. Sunday led me on a merry chase yesterday. Finally found it hiding under the sofa. The cherry gave it away. Just had deli Sam and ensure. Kind of chilly inside but weather report say will be low 70s.

Today i plan my assault on the patio. I have to sweep it first. Spring's maiden voyage of skateboard and scooter. Will start off slow. I like to sit on skateboard and roll across patio. It's a very short run. But i keep getting up and repeating. Then 30 min of scooter. At least 20. Then ill wash furniture. If i have any energy left, ill do 30 min on bike, but that's pushing it.

It's a low cardio day. Plus im eating. If i don't, Mr x may start harping im getting too thin. Yesterday i looked thru my short crop tops. I have 10. Maybe in a few months i can wear them.

Ill use lower spf today. I am on patio but there're places the sun shines. Maybe ill use 15. The lower numbers are more comfy to wear. Yesterday mr x put 60 on my back and said i looked like a white ghost from the zinc oxide. I said, rub it in more! Later, on the patio lounge, i could feel my back just sliding on it with the grease. What you gonna do? Spf is a necessary evil.

Oh, today's Joe was copper moon Sumatra. Very cool name. Vg. An A-

I have really got to find my daily planner. Where is that sucker?
