Yay for healed housekeepers and clean houses! Great suggestions to Liz about bean alternatives for her chili!

Greetings all

Sun today. Our housekeeper returned and cleaned which was needed. As mentioned she broke her leg walking dogs and has been laid up. Seems to be well now. So after that I did the gym. The bloodmobile was at the shopping center so I decided to stop and donate but it was 2;58 and they close at 3 so no dice. Another time I guess. They have been begging for blood on the local tv station but oh well.

Liz those deer are so cute. I assume you are not supposed to feed them. I have been thinking about what you could add to chili to replace beans: 1. more tomatoes and onions, 2. zucchini. 3. corn. 4. chopped up potatoes. And yeah I don't understand why anyone would get up at 4 am but whatever. DH gets up before I do and busies himself with kitchen stuff. By 11 am he is ready for his first nap.

CC enjoy your guests. We know that Kirby is. Our dogs were thrilled to see the housekeeper as she pet sits them too.

Alas the chili is all gone so it will be shrimp tonight. I need to start in on some tax stuff for the gallery but don't feel like fighting with the web site. If someone wants to invent some useful AI product how about making CA government web sites more user friendly.

DD we are loving your travel tales. Great looking beaches and charming scenes. Yep you guys have it all.

119.6 - up .2, so not significant. My body must have decided to hang here for now.

We did end up going to Key West yesterday as the friend with hip pain decided she felt better moving and her husband brought his walker. We only walked a short way with them though. We dropped them off and came back to hit a few spots for music, then got the car and picked them up. They had never been to any of the hot spots in Key West even though they have been coming to the Keys for several years. They would just go to selected restaurants where they could either park nearby (with the handicapped placard) or be dropped off. I think they enjoyed it but the husband was exhausted. On the way back we stopped at a restaurant we had gone to at the end of last week and I had the same meal of a stone crab claw and triple tail fish with coleslaw. It was just as yummy as last week.

Today we are headed the other direction to Marathon to another tiki bar type place for lunch and music. Our routine has been to have one meal out per day (late lunch or early dinner). They like to eat by 4 or 5, then are in bed by 8 and up at 4 am. Seems like a weird schedule for retired people, but it works for them. We have been okay with the early dinners and just flip our usual afternoon snack to an evening one here. Our usual schedule is more like lunch at noon, snack at 3, and dinner at 6:30. Bed at 10, then up at 6.

Not much else to report. Yesterday was just a 2 deer day after the amazing 5 deer one. I think going out earlier to walk means more deer sightings. Have a winsome Wednesday!

Interesting that you can somewhat diagnose what is causing Blitz's hunger. I wonder if low albumin levels do that to humans too. Must google that...

Sweet Molly is feeling the hormones and nesting. Very sweet.

Good luck with the haircut. You could just get it trimmed a little and see what you think.
