    I'm having some ice Joe. I hope it doesn't keep me up. Din was clam linguine, mahi mahi, mix veg, orange, and 2 choc kisses. I still want this small protein bar. It has low carbs and somehow I get a good ch number from it in the morning.

    Tho I'm rationing my strips. I don't think I want to see the doc this year. Give the virus time to dissipate.

    I sorted the basket of Sox into winter ones, old ones, thick ones, reg ones, and ped ones.

    I read some of my book till it got too heavy, which isn't long. Basically I was kind of a bum. I took a rest. Can't sleep cause of the banging of course. Listened to an Irish accent on church radio. They said the God is running the universe. I wondered what God does nowadays. How does that work? Making a star, a planet. Does he wave a wand? Wiggle his nose? They were saying when man gets all obsessed with nature's doings, it takes away from honouring god. That was interesting. Folks talk about nature like it's real. Don't fool mother nature. You can believe in mother nature but not God?

    I read it's Ramadan. A fasting holiday for Muslims. That sounds interesting too. I think the study of different religions would be interesting. How they're tied into holidays. The food!

    I also reset a small clock. That's been on my list for a long time. I'm expecting to hear from back nabe. The initial fence time table was for this Monday. I have to write the check. And Mr x has to deliver it.

    I'm tired today. Looked up side effects on melatonin and one is dizziness. Hmm. I was using up Mr xs bottle. They don't work for him. Even then I split the pill in half. Now I'll let some days pass then retry a quarter.

    I'm not getting any desky done. Guess I should be glad I'm not dizzy. I don't know about tomorrow's slog. If I'm still feeling off, I can do a skate session. I have actually never worn my new turquoise helmet. I didn't do much skating last year.

    I did throw the basket of my Sox on the bed. Have to sort them. All winter ones away. Only the thin ped ones I'll keep out.

    Today is going to be low production. Maybe I'll read some mags. Gfs two new boxes of them still await. I still have piles before that. And I could read my book. Soup was bean with bacon. And I had a PBJ.

    Yesterday I found I couldn't use spaghetti top as slog top. It's too thin. There's a reason sports tops are chosen. It has stretchy, compression material. I don't have that many. I do not want more. I'll just rewear what I have.

    It was unpleasant weather slogging today. It was 57• with 17 wind. I take a break after each 20 min and it was very short as it was cold. I didn't stay out and read.

    My ch was pretty low after the slog and I had a slim fast shake. Couple hours later Mr x made din. A huge salmon piece, polenta, mix veg, orange. Plus 2 Hershey kisses. I even considered a low carb protein bar. But I felt a lil dizzy. Which was strange. Then I definitely was. Well, I didn't want to fall down so I told Mr x I'd go rest a couple hours. I listened to church radio.

    I was listening to a southern pastor, I believe. He pronounced window as win duh. It interested me because I had taken an English class once where we diagrammed sentences. I was thinking regional differences would have to be taken into consideration.

    I saw this Twitter vid of a woman in Louisiana, I think. I was surprised she sounded like me. There's also this Indiana gal and she moved to Tennessee and she said she couldn't understand them.

    Anyway, after the nap I tested ch again. Was it too high cause of the polenta? Was that why I got dizzy? But it was normal. So I don't know what that was about. Maybe the weather was too cold for me. And I'm up to an hour now. Sometimes I don't realize the wherefores until later.

    I sewed that last green Sox this morning. It was a tiny hole. My game is to try to eyeball the exact length of thread needed so there's no waste. And I got it right. I also like to do this on wrapping presents. Just the right amount to cover. You know Mr xs wrapping. It's twice as much.

    I saw the back nabe in his yard, because the fence is down. I hope he goes back in before I have to slog. I'm dilly dallying for the temp to ramp up more. It's about 58•

    I also was messing with my clothes. Putting away winter pants, bringing out shorts. I brought out my spaghetti strap tops. Going to wear a purple one with reg white Terry shorts. Usually I wear sports fabrics but it's cool out. And you should never, ever wear a gray t-shirt in any strenuous activity. It'll look really bad.

    I'm on a Cafe break. I don't usually have a 2nd cup o Joe. The political nabe dropped by and they talked for one hour. I was mending. I did 6 items. Had one more Sox but needed my pbj and by then the sun had gone over the yardarm. I even sewed this long bag. A sling bag. But I'm short so it was down to my knee. I cut a piece out then used strong thread. So it was a good session. But I can't put the stuff away cause of that one Sox. This is on the way to clearing underneath the table. So I can get that treadmill out. The scrap haulers just are not coming around so I'll have to research.

    Heard Brenda song and maccauley Culkin had a kid. That was a surprise. We didn't even know they were a couple. He's Paris Jackson's godfather, I think.

    No Am package yet. I want a nap.

    I got up around 8:30 a.m. wow, melatonin really works. Dang bangers are back. Mr x hit Costco again. Brought back list of what protein bars they have. Didn't look good.

    I have a fake mirror. Yesterday I was in my slog outfit. A striped halter swim top and red shorts. I looked pretty svelte in the mirror. So I asked Mr x to take a pic. Wow. Now I looked chunky around my middle. They always say the camera adds pounds.

    I was thinking, too, that my knee clicking is from past injury perhaps. If I needed more water for joints, my other knee would be clicking too.

    So, it's an Inn day. I'm kind of tired but must work. I will do some mending first. Sun is still bright in here.

    So got to do my hair and git er done, son!

    After din greetings! It was some pasta with broccoli in red sauce, green beans, and orange. I'll prob get a decafe soon. I wish Mr x could make it for me. Making a small pot for us. But Mr x doesn't drink Joe. He likes beer. I hate beer.

    I'm pooped. Did my slog. Washed the patio furniture. Used Mr X's new hose nozzle. Very smooth. It was delightful to have no clang banging for two days.

    Soup was clam chowder this morning. I put in an Amazon order. Some loofahs. A gorgeous fuchsia/blue one. And it's 60g. We're using 75g size but it's too big for me. Then couple more protein bar boxes.

    And that about empties out my capital one debit card. I'll close out the account and my life will become simpler.

    Tomorrow's an Inn day. My knee has begun clicking. I used the knee strap. I'd rather not do two slogs in a row but I have to. Because of the odd days of the week. Why couldn't it have been eight? So I was googling clicking knees. It suggested drinking more water, stretching exercises.

    Oh, I had the melatonin and was up an hour earlier. I'll continue.

    I'm done in tonight. Kind of a headache and my face feels hot. It wasn't super hot white slogging. I wanted to wear a long crop top and it didn't fit! So I wore this purple with white trim swim top. I got them as running tops when I used to run in the rain.

    Later Mr x made a yummy din. Soup this morning was tomato basil. I'm not going to have a snack tonight cause there were potatoes and two fig Newton's included in din. Plus I took the melatonin and getting sleepy. Last night after a sermon or two that annoying counselor segment came on and a guy who wrote some counseling book was there. I turned it off. I couldn't tell you what the sermon was about. What was it? He was quoting different passages. Oh, I know. He was talking how God knows everything you think, will think. This total omniscient being. I don't see why he doesn't help more. Must we go thru these trials? It feels like we're his experiment.

    I don't like how they say sin was because of adam n Eve disobeying. To damn future generations forever for their mistake. Weren't they just made? They didn't even have a childhood. Aren't they basically children then? This seems the weakest link in the story. I always hated when a church person would talk to me and want me to say the I have sinned part. For my unreligious self that's strange to say.

    So I view this church radio as my education. I've dabbled in religious books before. In fact I have a bunch unread.

    I finished this mystery book and it was quite a ride. A woman was killed. Who did it? It fooled me and I've read tons of books. That's the sign of a well crafted mystery. Having all these suspects but hard to pick the guilty one. You have to look for the motivation. And that's tricky sometimes.

    I am too beat to em gf. She was telling me of this boy in grade school who was a creep to her. He threw lemons at her and slammed her fingers in a locker. I found him ol. He still looks mean. Gf and my bro were in the same class in maybe 7th grade. I wouldn't know her till maybe junior year in HS. What a long relationship.

    Happy sunny Saturday! The clang bangers aren't here. Is it my bday or was it the dandelion I blew on? Nonetheless, I'll take it. Just had my cookie dough protein bar. Good, but so small. Then I remembered I didn't have my soup yet. So Mr x tromped out to heat it.

    I did write to my pal. I have no outstanding ems to return! My cuz did write, but we put a lil space between responses. I have to do some research. She lives in Berkeley. I saw an article about neighborhood stairs in Berkeley and Oakland. Some do a pilgrimage and try to walk all of them. Also, in SF they have extra long streets, but there's a staircase midway to access the st below. It's very cool. On one, some artists painted the stairs. It became a destination. Tourists would arrive, walk the beautiful stairs, then return to find their car window smashed in and plundered.

    I shall savor today's quiet slog.

    I sorted thru two box files. No statement. So I found it ol, but was not able to print it. So I took a screenshot of it that I'll use.

    I think it's perhaps my redmi phone. It's glitching cause it's running out of space.

    I looked thru my copy paper. I have a huge box gf gave me. It was her office's discontinued logo paper. I can use the back or front if it's some personal copy. She also gave me some new printer paper. She was tossing everything when she moved. She's back working now after having the virus.

    Think I'll return a pals em. He last wrote in Feb. His hobby is baking n movies. I don't find many guys that like to bake.

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.

Congrats on passing the eye test!

I'm happy that you and your bro have reconciled and hang out together on occaision!

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!

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.
