What's on your Tuesday Menu?

Happy Anniversary!!

Happy Anniversary! Celebrate when you feel better.

I will make sure you get included.

30 years what a great accomplishment. Look at the wonderful family you guys have. Congratulation on all the good you have going on.

QOTD- I discovered All Classical Portland, it used to be a commercial station but is now listener funded and has no news or commercials. I stream it on my phone when I work. I used to have an Ipod docking station that had a built in tuner but it bit the dust so now it's my little speakers and my old phone. In the car I still sometimes listen to NPR, just to hear the latest outrage. But the current regime have normalized all this craziness, hate and discontent. Can't wait until the election.

What a joy to be able to breathe in outdoor air without the smoke. Today is supposed to be the last rain free day for the next week. I don't mind the rain right now because it helps keep the air clear and helps the fires. I did get my lawn mowed yesterday so I'm good for the rain.

I went off the deep end on Saturday and had way too much wine to drink. I haven't done that in a long time. Let's just say I don't want a repeat of that. I know it is just the stress of the situation and the news and all of this is overwhelming. But there are much better ways to deal with it.

On a positive note I have lost 8 of the 10lbs of the Covid regain. So I'm doing better on that front. I also have had a sore throat and have attributed it to all of the smoke. It almost feels like a cold coming on, but it's not getting any worse so hopefully I'll be good.

Have a great day everyone!

Julia, did you watch Justin Herbert play against the Chiefs on Sunday. He looked really good for his first game

No I didn't I wish I had, he's one of my favorite players to come out of Oregon. I think he's going to do great in the NFL.

congrats on the weight loss!!! That is great!!

G'morning everybody!

10:00 am CA time and I'm late again. Boy you guys are a bunch of early risers, on top of being on the east coast or Midwest.

JB - the zoo light pics are out of this world. Just BEAUTIFUL!

I'm licking my virtual wounds today. Told DS I'd like to go down and visit him for a day and bring him his docs. Very politely he said no thanks, wait till we see each other for thanksgiving. I visibly gulped. DH was on the call too, but he was at work. He texted me afterwards and said I saw your face change and you were trying hard not to react. This kid of mine wants space from me at every cost. And the more he wants space the more I wanna hug him! Sigh!

QOTD: not much of a music person. I have an old list of songs on my phone that sometimes I listen to, but I prefer audiobooks. Whether I'm jogging, or walking Luna I'm listening to audiobooks. Just finished a good book, very much like Pa*****o, about Vietnam. It's called The Mountains Sing. Next book is the Woodward one. I'm bracing for me gritting my teeth the whole time at the stupidity and arrogance of you-know-who.

My menu is let's-not-talk-about-it, same as exercise. :(

Happy taco Tue, everybody.

Inside your son is still your baby, but he is fighting to be independent. The good thing about kids is that if you are successful in how you raise them, they don't need you anymore. And that is also the sad thing about raising them successfully.
