Working out in the early part of the day is so much more doable IMO.

It is hard to find dresses that hide bra straps! It appears that some young people don't care but I don't like them showing either.

Congrats on a clear mammo!

I had my mammogram at 10:15 am, and the results were in MyChart by 12:30 pm. Ain't technology wonderful! All good news on the results, as expected, but still always good to hear.

I went shopping after my appointment. I am on a mission to find a few more summer dresses that are bra friendly. I actually have a nice collection of dresses, but so many of them require futzing with strapless bras or, if they do have wide enough straps for a bra, fashion tape to hold them in place. I'm not looking for party dresses, just everyday dresses that make me look somewhat put together. I went to Macy's, Kohl's, Target and TJMaxx. Nope. I think I'll try the outlet mall next. The search continues.

DH was turning my only sunny flower bed when I got home. The soil looks great. I can't wait to plant something in it. It's not time yet.

We still have some ham and Hawaiian rolls left over from Sunday, so that will be dinner. I had some grilled chicken nuggets from Chick-fil-A when I was out and about, along with a diet lemonade. $10.00!! It's getting expensive for 8 little chunks of chicken and a drink, but they pack a good amount of protein. It's probably my favorite fast food option.

We're going to Planet Fitness in a bit. I just can't seem to get into a solid routine, but I do get there sporadically. I'm so wiped out after work, although I realize that I would probably have more energy if I worked out more regularly, I continue my sluggish after school ways. Well liberation is coming soon, and hopefully the energy to do the things I want to do is coming with it.

126.3, all good.

Morning has been spent preparing for Thursday's Bible study which I'm leading. Still have a companion sermon to listen for that. I also got mail order meds transferred from one pharmacy to another due to insurance changes.

Will hop on the treadmill after lunch and perhaps work on my Etsy site some more. DH is working 12 hour shifts today and tomorrow. Thinking something easy for dinner. I have some frozen fried clam strips that I have been hungry for, so might put that in the oven with a veggie or salad for a side.

Your day was quite busy Liz! Glad today will be a bit more laid back for you.

Gloomy, rainy day today. Not conducive to doing anything fun or productive outside. Looking forward to some sun and nice days, hopefully soon!

120 - Taco Tuesday, but we are having leftover easy lasagna.

Lots done yesterday: teeth cleaned and appointment set up for another crown :(, met with paint/handyman and have a good plan for painting over the sand paint and the ominous mural in the master bath (now I just need to pick the perfect light blue for the walls), pinned up the hems on the 2 long dresses I bought from Poshmark and dropped them off at the alterations place, got DH measured and ordered a navy blue suit for the same 2 weddings (getting ties up next), had the car washed, then cooked dinner. Whew! That's a lot for retired folks!

Today is much less ambitious: Justice walk, finish cleaning second bathroom and start dusting while DH is at gym, go to the beach, eat leftovers for dinner. I think we can manage tokay's schedule.

Have a titillating Tuesday!

I too would want to sneak bites (of course). But good for Ron - maybe he is looking at your success and getting some inner motivation to work on himself. As we all know that self-motivation is the first step.

IMHO people like her will always have to have the last word so best to stop engaging now. I like the idea of burning it...

Thanks for the chuckle :)

That lost pair of glasses is the first of many. Buy them in bulk.

Today is taco Tuesday isn't it? I was going to make them this week but I already cooked something last night that we need to eat the 2 open nights before DSD arrives. Definitely will have to make them for Cinco de Mayo!

I think our children sometimes still think they need to be the center of our attention at most times. It is good for them to realize that now that they are adults that can't always be the case.

So sorry that your Mom does this. She must be very unhappy.

I think attitude through life usually determines how an individual will react to tough cir****tances. My Mom drank after tragedies that were too much for her and was miserable to be around during that period but when she finally became sober she was actually an optimistic, humorous person and rarely complained. I see people my age dealing with lots of past and present issues but pushing through them and enjoying whatever they can. Others take to their couch for any small thing and end up spending all their time there complaining about their lot in life to anyone who will listen.
