This excellent website certainly has all of the information I needed concerning this subject and didn’t know who to ask.
Rosie
Nice day out today. Just finished making spaghetti and sauce with peppers, it came out good. And used whole wheat pasta. Hopefully a quiet night, watching Dorian, have relatives that will probably have to evacuate.
Rosie
Got the cutest light blue tiny canning jars. I wanted to make kiwi preserves, but the store didn’t have any of the kiwis on sale – so next time. Nice day out today, just right!
Rosie
Getting ready to get picked up by the ride service. Getting shots and groceries. Nice day out today, have to enjoy this nice weather!
Rosie
Day is going good. The tropical storm Erin is passing by shortly, so we are getting ready for downpours into the late night. Getting the flashlights, etc ready, and need to make dinner asap in case we lose power!
Rosie
Went to town and got back a little while ago. Have a lavender candle going, and now need to get down to chores. It is really starting to seem like fall, and I can’t but help I’ve been having pumpkin spice coffee every morning! Nice!
Nancy
We had a good day. The weather is getting a bit cooler. We had gumbo for dinner and it was great.
Rosie
I love The Non tee – Bad Influence, ?!! I’m cracking up!! I’m feeling better today, enough to get some chores done before it got out of hand. Nice day out today, starting to feel those tingles of fall in the air. Kids back to school in this area, today, too.
Rosie
Finally starting to feel a little better! It felt good just to be able to get up and move around. Not doing too much yet, as I didn’t sleep hardly at all last night, but I’m just thrilled to be better, when you get older, you never know if it is the start of something serious. So, yeah!
Nancy
We had a good day. The temperature outside is cooler. and we love it. We got some rain. There was a touch of a cooler autumn in the air today.
Rosie
I got sick last night and am still very nauseated, etc. I can’t concentrate, so just doing one or two, of course, I need my daily peanutbutterandwhine fix!
Dana Rodriguez
It is so hot and dry here I am doing a rain dance. I love the tees you made! LOL!
Rosie
Day is going good. Getting ready for the ride service to pick me up. 15% chance of rain, so I will shut the windows, just in case…. !!
Rosie
Day is going good. Alice is adorable in these new pictures!!! Wow, a severe t-storm just ended, and the downpour was unreal, flooding everywhere, damage, power outages. I’m OK here, whew! Made a strata today, with a ton of eggs and lots of good ingredients, first time I tried making it.
Rosie
Day is going good. Just finished up trying to help a relative with health insurance stuff. Walked to town today to do errands. Sunny but hot, but tomorrow is more thunderstorms (!), so got the errands done today!!
Ken Ohl
so far so good hot here
Megan Wilson
Going good, we are excited to be closing on our new home in the next few weeks!
Sarah L
Hey Connie,
I wish to complain about the Instagram contest you put up. Instagram hates me and kicked me off and will not tell me what I did wrong. So, no instagram entries for me. sigh.
shelly peterson
It was an ok day. My typical Wednesday, dialysis and a nap.
Crystal K
Took a High Intensity Interval Training group fitness class today and now I am BEAT!
Tamra Phelps
Well, it’s been an all around bad day. My roommate here passed away early this morning. I got a phone call from the surgeon who did my back saying he needs to see me about the CT scan—the doctors here can’t rule out osteomyelitis (infection in bone), so they want him to look. Great. Well, hopefully he says he doesn’t see it.
Kate Sarsfield
Aw hell, that’s a tough one, Tamra. I’ll be thinking of you.
Sarah L
Good swim with friends. How come I keep having to go to the grocery store?
Susan Smith
My days going good. It’s actually pretty cool here so I turned off the air conditioning and opened up the windows.
Carolyn D
My day is going okay. I did not sleep very well so I got an early start on cleaning and entering sweeps.
Veronica Vasquez
My allergies or something are making me feel pretty crummy but other than that I’m alright
Linda
The day is starting out great. The weather is nice and cool.
Becca
My day is going fine so far. I haven’t done anything except get ready for my day. I willbe going to yoga, the library, then the dog park.
Kate Sarsfield
Ughhhh! I caught a cold and am feeling sorry for myself. I’d love to go back to bed but the mother and cat need feeding!
Michele Soyer
Ending the month with a New Moon in Leo… Cast your wishes out to the universe and bathe in the sunny happy Leo energy…….
shelly peterson
I didnt do too much today. I spent the day relaxing.
Crystal K
A great day playing in the creek with my kiddos and then trying a new recipe for dinner!
Sandra Preti
My day started out stressful, but things turned around after I got home from work. Now having a relaxing night!
Sarah L
Staying home out of the heat. It is cooler than Europe right now.
Michele Soyer
Hunting slugs is enough to do in a day Kate! Had a wonderful time out in the garden today.. transplanted flowers and ginger plants.. picked some fresh produce and fruit and even managed to kill a snake.. which prompted me to move all the work tables away from the walls and chlorine then malathion…..not on my to-do list but………
Kate Sarsfield
I have done absolutely nothing today other than hunting slugs. I got about a pound in weight then chucked them over the hedge into the next field.
Veronica Vasquez
My allergies are kicking my butt today – feeling really crummy. Other than that just doing the SAHM thing
Sharon Rooney
It’s the first thing in the morning so my day is going great so far. I have my first cup of coffee and the animals are fed and it’s a bright sunny day.
Crystal K
A hot hot day for yard work but we did it anyway!
shelly peterson
I went to dialysis and came home and took a nap.
Sarah L
Sensory garden tour and activity this morning. Then a good swim with friends.
Tamra Phelps
Finished physical therapy for today and now I’m planning to just watch TV and relax. Or Netflix and chill, lol.
Andrea Darst
My day is not going fantastic, but it is Monday. Hoping the rest of the week is better! The weather should be better – less humid and nice!
Veronica Vasquez
It’s Monday. I don’t like Mondays. Not to sure what else to say about it because so far it’s uneventful, but is it sad I’m already waiting on next weekend? 🙂
Kate Sarsfield
For a moment there I thought I was going doolally then realised it’s another Kate S. who commented above. I don’t like Mondays and don’t have a daughter!
Back into the garden for me, I’m hoping to clear debris from the cattle grid now the water level’s dropped.
Michele Soyer
Had a wonderful afternoon yesterday feel relaxed and ready to go.. out into the garden after breakfast….
Kate S.
My day is going great! I’m one of those rare people who happen to like Mondays… and it’s Monday, so I’m looking forward to the day. I’ll be doing some fun things with my daughter and making one of our favorite meals for dinner… might even get some “me time” in because it’s a day off from work for me… yay!
shelly peterson
Its late and need to get to bed. I spent Sunday being lazy.
Christina Sparks
Today is a beautiful day. Had a nice three day weekend.
monique s
My day is going ok. I am mostly doing housework and running errands
Sarah L
I am reading an excellent book today: Strong Voices: The Story of the Women’s Chorus Movement Paperback – June 12, 2018 by Rita M. Kissen (Author).
The author will be speaking at the Sage Singer’s first rehearsal next month.
Gwendolyn Jordan
My day is going great so far but that could change.
Piroska
I’m staying indoors today, as we’re having a few days of a heat wave, and I just don’t do well in the heat!
Maureen
Supposed to be a warm one today so hopefully will have a good one with the A/C on.
Kate Sarsfield
There’s a huge match on today involving this county, Wexford, against Tipperary. Honestly, even the farmers have taken the afternoon off. There’s not a sound of civilization out there! Oh, and it’s the national sport of hurling, in case you want to Google it. Very fast & furious!
Veronica Vasquez
Very very tired today – I was up entirely too late binge watching on Netflix lol. Coffee is my friend and am very happy it’s a lazy Sunday
Michele Soyer
Bake 6 dozen cookies this morning.. roast is done with pots and carrots…string beans done..brown rice and a pasta dish whew.. tomorrow they announced there will be no current so there is food enough to handle that….Thought about 12 noon mass but decided to stay quiet and relax…
Kim Avery
Today is my husband’s birthday! We will be celebrating by making him all of his favorite foods. I’m surprising him with having all the kids & grand kids coming over for cake & ice cream this afternoon!
shelly peterson
Today was a good day. I relaxed a lot and then had a family bbq.
Veronica Vasquez
Aside from an issue with my phone this morning, my day hasn’t been too bad. Glad it’s the weekend. Went out and went shopping a bit, pizza for dinner, and tomorrow just laying around the house with the family
Becca
My day is going great! I went to step class and the dog park. Tonight I am going for Mexican food with friends 🙂
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. Reading a good book.
Tamra Phelps
Biscuits and gravy for supper tonight. Yep, I’m in KY, lol. You can’t beat biscuits and gravy, though.
Kate, Michele is right. Your Mum is incredibly wise and more forgiving than I would be!
Kate Sarsfield
It’s one less thing to dust … perhaps I should encourage him 😉
Maureen
I just got some results for some health tests. I wish they were better because now I have to have some biopsies. I hope that all comes back benign.
Kate Sarsfield
Keeping everything crossed for you Maureen and hope all goes well x
Michele Soyer
Mum has a great attitude Kate.. can’t say I would be that easy going.. my husband always said that if he broke anything he might as well jump out the window…..Up already from chores have a spinach quiche in the oven and 3 sets of cooky dough in the refrig to bake tomorrow….have a glorious weekend all!
Kate Sarsfield
Idris the cat smashed a piece of Mum’s Waterford crystal last night trying to get out a window so clearing that up is the first job of the day. Mum was very philosophical about it: “Kate, it’s a thing. It doesn’t have feelings. People and animals are far more important”.
shelly peterson
Today was a really hot day. I am happy its Friday.
Tamra Phelps
Friday is here. Weekends can be chaotic here, with staff not coming in and residents angry that what they want/need isn’t happening quickly. Bring it on, lol.
Sarah L
Fun volunteer appreciation luncheon for the Library. Then almost 2 hours at the DMV getting my driver’s licence renewed. Then a good swim with friends.
Kate Sarsfield
Mum decided she wasn’t able to get up today (she hit her ankle bone last night & it’s a bit swollen) so I spent the day cutting back brambles and nettles. I’m tired out but in a good way.
Veronica Vasquez
Looking forward to this weekend and binge watching the final season of Orange Is The New Black – going to be sad to see it end
Michele Soyer
Looking out at the morning and it appears gray and rainy….have some flowers to transplant and then I plan on taking the rest of the day off….
shelly peterson
Today was good. I didnt really do anything.
Sarah L
Fun Sensory Garden tour and activity. We did flower arranging and they all came out beautifully.
Becca
I feel like I write the same thing every day LOL. My day started off at the dog park for an hour! Now Im going to step class soon 🙂
Michele Soyer
Tammie so sorry about mum…Memories flood back….. All went well at the lawyer yesterday yeh….even reached back home before noon… today was an outside working day pooped by now….
Tamra Phelps
So, I had a CT scan today. They want to be sure the MRSA is gone from the spine this time. Today is the second anniversary of Mom’s death. So, that’s in the back of’ my mind today.
Kim Pincombe-Cole
Having a great day! Got my lashes done, met my son for lunch and getting ready to take the pups for a walk because the weather is gorgeous!
Veronica Vasquez
My day isn’t really the best of days. I don’t feel well. Feel like I’ve been hit by a train. Glad it’s almost the weekend.
Kate Sarsfield
I was using the stepladder outside yesterday & left it out because the forecast was for a warm, still night. At 2.30 the wind picked up, carrying the ladder down the garden so up I got in case it blew into the car. I stood on a snail … in my bare feet …
Tamra Phelps
Ewwww, is all I can say, lol. Just ewww!!!
shelly peterson
Today was a typical Wednesday. I went to dialysis, took a nap and made dinner.
Sarah L
Good swim class. Stop off at the store.
Becca
My day has been great. I did yoga and went to the dog park and then napped.
Tamra Phelps
Tomorrow will be two years since Mom died. Not a day goes by that I don’t think I wish she was here, or I wish I could tell her something. But you do get better at coping as time goes by.
Kate Sarsfield
Oh, Tammie, it is horrible, isn’t it? All that’s left is the love and the memories that surround you everyday. I talk to Dad all the time – it’s the physical presence I miss most. But yes, it does get a bit easier. As Mum says, life is for the living, so make the most of it.
Veronica Vasquez
Today is going ok so far. Still not blazing hot here at the moment since it stormed this weekend, thankfully.
Kate Sarsfield
I have to go into town but I’m leaving it till it cools down a bit. Gardening till then. (anything to avoid housework!).
Michele Soyer
Getting ready to head out.. all I can hope for is that this doesn’t take all day long….
shelly peterson
Today was a complete lazy day. I di a whole lot of nothing.
Sarah L
Had a good infusion today. The noise cancelling headphones worked very well and I got a nap in.
Tamra Phelps
Not much happening here. I’m half watching Jeremy Wade on one of his hunts for big man-eating fish and half doing this.
Courtnie
Today has been kind of slow, but I am going to church with my boyfriend tonight. I’m excited for that.
Maureen
The heat broke and the weather is nice and we have the air breezing thru the house. Nice day to take a walk.
Veronica Vasquez
Today seems like it’s going to be a very tiring trying day.. Not a good sign when you wake up with a headache. Little one doesn’t seem to want to listen today either. It’s 10:37am here and I already want a nap
Kate Sarsfield
Mum’s exhausted after her trip to the Doc.’s yesterday so I’m tip-toeing around the house doing quiet chores. I’m not very good at being quiet!
Michele Soyer
Kate fingers crossed for mum.. Tamra good girl! Knew you could get on well with the PT.. as for me kinda blah today.. have to go to the lawyer tomorrow and then on to Inland Revenue..there goes the day tomorrow….
shelly peterson
Today was a good day. I just went to dialysis as usual.
Sarah L
Alice is growing up so fast! Did she like the shirts you made her? I had a good swim today and a trip to the library.
Tamra Phelps
The heat has finally broken here. This week we’re having Fall-like temps, which is good by me. My p.t. is going really well, so we’re going to go ahead and increase the time I spend there every day. Also, good by me.
Kate Sarsfield
And so say all of us xxx
Kate Sarsfield
It’s stormy and humid and not very nice when you have to sit in a Dr.’s waiting room being coughed on! Mum’s back on antibiotics so fingers crossed!
Maureen
I did not get a good night sleep. I hope that it is a good day. The heat and humidity have seemed to have lessened.
Veronica Vasquez
My day is going relatively slow for Monday. Stormed here last night so cooled the temperature off some which is nice
Michele Soyer
My niece will be coming for a visit next week so very excited about seeing her…haven’t seen her for a few years..much to catch upon….
shelly peterson
Today was a hot day. I didnt do too much today.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home after the busy day at the Lavender Festival.
shelly peterson
I stayed up late last night and slept in today. So I haven’t done much today so far.
Veronica Vasquez
Nice, calm, relaxing Sunday – just wish the hours weren’t flying by so quick! Not looking forward to Monday
Michele Soyer
Pleasant Sunday.. gorgeous weather and a cool breeze…Sunday lunch made so resting and erlaxing for the balance of the day.. Let the music play!
Kim Avery
I think today after being cooped up because of the unbearable heat the past couple days I will be venturing out to do some shopping!
Kate Sarsfield
Big day tomorrow: Mum’s getting her meds reviewed. Stands to reason (to me) that if half her insides are missing then she shouldn’t be on the full dosage, especially blood thinner and BP drugs. Thankfully her Dr. agrees. We’ll spend the day getting ready!
Becca
My day is going great! I went to hot yoga and the dog park, then took a nap 🙂
Sarah L
Had a good time at the Lavender Festival. Did teacher’s assistant for a DIY lavender facial class. Ate a corn dog. Bought some lavender body butter and some earrings. At least it was 10 degrees cooler than yesterday.
Michele Soyer
Lawn man arrived at 6am.. great job going on he should be done by half 9.. then raking and planting.. a glorious sunny Saturday….
Kate Sarsfield
I used a peeling mask on my feet last week and woke this morning to find bits of me everywhere! A forensic scientist’s paradise! Time to get the vacuum out!
shelly peterson
Today was a usual Friday. I went to dialysis and will be heading to the casino tonight with my daughter. Wish me luck. 🙂
Sarah L
Currently 102 degrees. Entirely TOO HOT. Did go out and get a massage and then a quick trip to the pool. The water felt cool after being outside.
Tamra Phelps
I’ve calmed down, Michele, lol. Turned out it was a September appointment with the gastroenterologist (spelling????), whic?h she has rescheduled for January 2020. Wow. She is fully booked until then. But I’m on a waiting list in case someone cancels. Good thing I’m not dying! Geeze.
Courtnie
I am feeling kind of sick today, but I am going to a baseball game after work so I’m excited for that.
Maureen
It is hotter than blazes here and only going to be hotter tomorrow. Hope that the a/c can hold up.
Veronica Vasquez
What to say about today…? I’m just glad it’s Friday. It’s been a rough week for me – in more ways than one. I’m just really grateful the weekend is almost here.
Kate Sarsfield
We’re in for some horrible rainy, windy weather this weekend so I’m getting a load of laundry on the washing line while I can. Planning a homemade quiche for this evening, trying to use up the glut of fresh spinach & peppers from the garden.
stephanie jones
my day is going good. just got home from shopping and its hot!!
Michele Soyer
Sounds like you had a good day Kate! As for me a wonderful day yesterday shopping…. went into all the shoppes.. bought some things I needed and some I didn’t…feel like I can be home for at least a week now….
shelly peterson
Today was a good day. I spent the day relaxing and then went an seen Lion King with my family
Sarah L
97 yesterday, will break a record today at 100. Bleh. 100 tomorrow. Might cool off a few degrees by Saturday when I go to the lavender festival.
Becca
My day is going great. So far, my dog and I walked 3 miles at the dog park!
Kate Sarsfield
I got a lot of running around done today: an early doctor’s appointment, the weekly shopping, Mum’s meds from the chemist, a visit to a book shop for crosswords for her, I managed to find her a fancy new shower cap and was home before she woke up at noon. All that walking’s made my wonky knee play up so I’ll slap on some tiger balm and take it easy for the rest of the day.
Veronica Vasquez
So far, so good today. Very grateful that it’s almost the weekend! Still wishing it wasn’t so hot outside though, looking forward to Fall
stephanie
my day is going good so far!! just so hot outside!!
Michele Soyer
Once again I would tell you to try and be calm Tamra…Mercury is Rx communications are mixed up.. there are delays and cancellations August will be better….
Getting ready to go out today…looking forward to hitting the shoppes….
shelly peterson
A day of dialysis so as usual I am super tired.
Sarah L
Steve sitting again today. His daughter and her husband went to the Museum to see the DaVinci exhibit.
Tamra Phelps
Well, doctor’s appointments are driving me bonkers today. I got an email from University of Kentucky Hospital telling me one of my appointments had been canceled. Okay. Do you want to tell me which one??? I have an appointment tomorrow…or do I?? I don’t want to go all the way down there only to find out it’s canceled. GRRRRR!!!
Becca
My day is going great so far. I went to a wonderful hot yoga class!
Antoinette M
I’m packing for my upcoming trip…exciting!
Veronica Vasquez
My day is going ok so far. Coffee and I have been pretty good friends this morning. Wishing it wasn’t so extremely hot outside
Michele Soyer
Oh Kate the night sky has been lit up with all the planets and stars! Wondrous sites….well today is a bleh day rainy and cool.. I am sure I can get into something up here…
Kate Sarsfield
I was up early to get my sister’s car to the mechanic again. The AC’s been playing up apparently. Why she can’t just open a window is beyond me, I mean it’s not like we live in Texas, but there’s no charge as it’s still under warranty. I was full of good intentions for doing outside chores then the heavens opened. Ah, well, guess I’ll just have a mug of tea instead!
shelly peterson
Today was a good day. Its cooled down some and rained a little bit.
Tamra
Standing is going much better in p.t. I’m hoping that next week we can start walking again. I really want this to go much quicker than the first time around, lol.
Kate Sarsfield
Oh, sweetheart, if wishes could move mountains, well, I’m damn sure you’d have been up & dancing by now. Listen to your body, when it’s ready, you’ll know xxx
Sarah L
My excitement for today was getting the new noise cancelling headphones I bought on Amazon Prime day. Got them up and working and connected to my phone.
Kate Sarsfield
Today’s the day for clearing out the gutters! I do love messy jobs 🙂
Courtnie
My day is going okay. I am going to a basketball game tonight, so I’m excited for that!
Veronica Vasquez
It’s going to be a very long, excruciatingly hectic day today and I am not looking forward to it. I want to curl up in bed and just hibernate
Michele Soyer
Lovely sunny day.. planning on do some paint touch ups in the garden and pond….hosing out the aviary then who knows what on this lunar eclipse day!!
Kate Sarsfield
Did you happen to see Jupiter & Saturn the other night? Quite something! I could even see one of Jupiter’s moons!
shelly peterson
Today was an ok day. I didnt want to get up this morning though lol
Courtnie
Today was a pretty good day for a Monday. Even though I had to go back to work, I got to spend time with my boyfriend and his son after work.
Tamra Phelps
I’m back in the physical therapy grind, which makes me happy, lol. Hey, every day is a step closer to home.
Sarah L
Good swim. A bit cooler than yesterday here.
Antoinette M
I’m having a great day! Very hot and humid today.
Kate Sarsfield
I did a bit of gardening till it got too hot for me and then cleaned the inside windows. Other than that, not a lot happening here.
Veronica Vasquez
My day is going ok- still early so time will tell. No big plans today or anything
Michele Soyer
Early morning sheep first-aid….fixed him up now into the garden….
shelly peterson
I spent Sunday with my family bbq’n and playing games. It was a lot of fun and got home kind of late.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home before a busy week. A tad cooler than yesterday.
Antoinette M
I’m having a very relaxing Sunday!
Sue E
I am sad, because Friday, I was telling my brother happy birthday, and that’s when he informed me that he and his family are moving out of state, because of this state’s fricking taxes!! He told me that he pays $800 a month in real estate taxes on his home!! The government is still ruining my life and I’m paying for it!! I’m sure their families don’t have to move, because of them!! I wonder why?? Sorry for venting on your page ? TY
Veronica Vasquez
My day is completely hectic. It’s supposed to be a nice relaxing Sunday but my mother-in-law sure has a wonderful way of making it turn sour… So fun.. Hopefully the rest of the day will go better
Kate Sarsfield
It’s too hot for me to go out so I’m giving all my houseplants a dusting and then popping them in the shower! Happy Bastille Day!
Michele Soyer
another day just like yesterday.. Mass then putting the roast in the oven and relaxing….I do have one chore making my to-do list for the week….
shelly peterson
Today was a nice day. I relaxed at home in the a/c and then went to dinner with my son.
Sarah Lehan
Quiet day at home. Too hot to go out.
Are you with Alice?
Thomas Gibson
My day is quiet and peaceful and I am quite content.
MAUREEN
OMG it is broiling out. It is 98 and high humidity. Despite that we went to a sidewalk sale and had some cool drinks.
Kate Sarsfield
It’s hot! Well, to me it is, anyhow. I’m too pale to enjoy much sunshine. No chores today, just watching Serena and Halep in the women’s final at Wimbledon.
Michele Soyer
Perfect day to start my relax and reflect weekend.. Dark and rainy outside.. cozy comfy in here.. getting ready to read and listen to old school jazz.. Wes Montgomery…Gabor Szabo and Sam the Man Taylor….great weekend to all….
shelly peterson
I went to dialysis today and came home and took a nap. I later ran to Krispy Kreme with my daughter.
Antoinette M
Today was a good day! I marked a lot of things off my to-do list!
Sarah L
Too darn hot. But at least no hurricanes (or tornadoes for that matter).
Dana Rodriguez
This has been a horrible week honestly. The tranny went out in our vehicle, woke up Monday night/Tuesday to a huge clap and pop that rocked the whole house from the typical storms in the summer here.. fried 2 cable boxes, the wide screen tv in the LR, surround sound.. been an expensive and frustrating week. Therefore we drink tonight lol. Have a nice weekend Connie.
Michele Soyer
Another long day but tomorrow and Sunday I am taking off… having total “me” days….Can admit I am a wee bit tired….
Veronica Vasquez
Today, thus far, has been AWFUL!! I woke up to two irritating text messages. One was from my mother-in-law “reminding me” of something she never informed me of in the first place. So TONS of fun. Second, was that we had an internet outage in our area, when I had things that needed to be done first thing online. Internet is finally back. I have no need to converse with my mother-in-law any further today. So I am completely determined to make the rest of this day go as well as possible or lose my mind trying. SOOOO happy it’s Friday.
Kate Sarsfield
Well, we finally went out & bought a new kettle! Mum’s been wanting one for ages and she’s very happy now. It’s shiny red, lightweight, and small – perfect for her to manage from her wheelchair.
shelly peterson
My grandson was over today so that was nice. But I did do too much today.
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. Too hot to go out.
Kim Pincombe-Cole
My 1st grandson was born this week, so I’m still basking in the joy!!!
Antoinette M
My day is going great! It is going to be a hot and humid day!
Becca
My day is going well so far, but I also havent done much. I am currently eating breakfast lol
Veronica Vasquez
My day is going pretty well so far today but it is still early. I’m going to try and get started reading a new book this afternoon
Kim Avery
Getting ready to hunker down for some severe thunderstorm today. Had plans to run errands but they can wait.
Kate Sarsfield
The heavens opened 2 hours ago and it has been bucketing down ever since. Vertical torrents and there go our plans to go out to buy a new kettle! It’s about time someone invented a wheelchair with self-drying tyres!
Michele Soyer
Tamra good for you…. sitting here figuring out what to do today.. paint upstairs or paint outside….just touch-ups but nothing brightens things up like a fresh coat of paint.. my daughter says everything is bright and shiny but I disagree!!
shelly peterson
I had dialysis today and came home and took a nap.
Becca
My day is going great! I got my eyebrows done, went to yoga, and took a long nap 🙂
Sarah L
Today I got shot! Oh, ok, it was just my rheumatologist injecting my knee. Wasn’t too painful and I could still go swimming after.
Tamra Phelps
I got to start physical therapy again! So, it went pretty well. Hopefully things will go more quickly this time around.
Kate Sarsfield
Oh, that’s terrific news, Tamra! I can uncross my fingers now!
Veronica Vasquez
So far so good. Trying to stay off my ankle as much as possible. I hurt it recently and then my dog accidentally wrapped his lead around it last night and made it worse. Also, my toddler has found her way onto my ankle 8 times in two days. So ow..
Kate Sarsfield
I’m putting off watering the veggies etc. because there’s this HUGE black cloud that’s very slowly heading this way. In the meantime I’m doing little fix-it jobs around the house.
Michele Soyer
As usual garden work today ….. it appears to be a lovely bright day so it will be a joy to be out in the sunshine…..
shelly peterson
My grandson was over for a while today. Then I went grocery shopping.
Sarah L
I hate it when my hair gets too long and starts sticking out in strange places. So, I got a haircut today.
Tamra Phelps
I’ve just been hopping around online and half-way watching TV today. I agree with Kate the teenage tennis player, Gauff, that took out Venus Williams, etc., is amazing.
Kate Sarsfield
Nothing much happening today apart from Wimbledon. Isn’t that 15 year-old from Florida a major star in the making?
Veronica Vasquez
My day is going alright, glad to be past the Monday slump. Hoping the rest of this week turns out to be a good one
Michele Soyer
Moving early this morning.. sky looks dark and rainy but I have flowers to transplant and start seedlings….then upstairs and who knows what…..
shelly peterson
Today definitely felt like a Monday. I didnt want to wake up.
Tamra Phelps
It’s Monday. Has there ever been a really good Monday, lol?? Well, what can I say except, another day down…maybe it brings us all a little closer to what we want.
Sarah L
Good swim then a quick stop at the vampires to give a bit of blood.
Michele Soyer
Kate.. Happy Birthday to mum… all 7’s…..Tamra I know that to say it will get better makes you sick and tired of hearing it but it really shall….all my prayers are with you..
this is late for me to be finishing up today but I decided this morning to take all the china and crystal out of the buffet and breakfront and wash them all and put them back…. then I decided to touch up the paint on the kitchen cupboards and again take everything out all the dinnerware etc…..could not stop there so went on to the cooking/baking cupboards and now I am done since half 6 this morning.. it is half 6 this evening and I still feel energized .. but tomorrow is another day….
Kate Sarsfield
It’s really quiet here today. Maybe the farmers are on strike! Swallows have built a nest over the front door! It’ll be a bit muddy but how amazing to see them hatch & fledge up close!
Veronica Vasquez
Today’s one of those days where it seems everything that can go wrong is going wrong. I despise Mondays..
shelly peterson
Today was a good day. I went to lunch with my sons and then to the movies.
Tamra Phelps
I’ve been kind of down today. I feel like I’m not moving forward and that just eats at me. I know I can’t pick up physical therapy until the back heals, and then I will move forward, but right now it eats at me.
Kate Sarsfield
Oh Tamra, I feel so sorry for you but remember, it was a slow weekend, you had too much time on your hands so … I know you’re probably sick to the back teeth of us saying ‘hang on in there’ etc. but you will make it, I just know it!
Debbi Wellenstein
My day is going great! I listened to a podcast I’ve been looking forward to all week, and later I will be Netflixing!
Sarah L
Last quiet day at home before a busy week. Possible thunderstorms today.
Kim Avery
Today was grocery shopping day! It was crazy out there! Guess everyone traveling home from the holiday! Now relaxing and enjoying the cooler weather today!
kimrk56
My day is going fine. I went to church this morning and now I’m watching a movie.
Kate Sarsfield
Mum is 86 today. She was born at 7 minutes past 7 on the 7th day of the 7th month 1933.
Tamra Phelps
Happy Birthday to Mum, Kate!! I hope she had an amazing day!?
Maureen
For a few days at least the humidity seems to have decreased. So happy about that . It is hopefully going to be a good day. Relax and enjoy.
Veronica Vasquez
Day pretty much just started. Going ok so far. Gonna be a slow day, hopefully stress-free
Cynthia C
My day is fairly quiet so far. I plan on doing a little shopping and maybe do some yard work if the rain stays away.
Suzanne K
I’m playing catch-up with yard work. I broke my ankle last fall and spent 4 months not being able to do much of anything. Talk about deferred maintenance! But, I’m slowly getting there.
Michelle H.
I have been having a fairly relaxing day.
shelly peterson
Today was pretty hot out. I spent the day pretty much doing nothing. lol
Tamra Phelps
Today has been one of those days where you just want to nap. So, I did, lol.
Veronica Vasquez
My day has been rather decent – tired though – probably go to bed early and catch up on some sleep
Sarah L
Quiet day at home. My knee is being flakey. Meeting with rheumatologist next Wednesday.
Ann Fantom
My day is going pretty well. I’m dealing with the hot and humid day…
Michele Soyer
Knew you could fix it Kate….always have faith in you….as for me.. cleaned the aviary today ( chlorine and black detergent ) so it sparkles…chlorined all the drains and the bridges that go onto the land….I do love granular chlorine!!! pooped so now I plan on watching some of Victoria ….
Kate Sarsfield
Yay me! I fixed the washing line (thank you Dad!). I’ve ticked off quite a few little jobs of the ‘to-do’ list & now I’m going to settle down with the cat & a book. Tonight, after she’s gone to bed, I’m going to make a lemon meringue pie for Mum’s 86th Birthday tomorrow.
Kim Avery
I’m spending a very relaxing day doing nothing! Just waiting for the storms to roll in!
sheila ressel
Got hubby off to work and having some coffee now. Planning my grocery list for later.
shelly peterson
I am super tired today. I plan to relax over the weekend.
Sarah L
Good swim. No errands. Home.
Kim Avery
Oh gosh! I spent most of today reminding myself it WASN’T Monday!!! Crazy day!!!
Tamra
Hope no one is in the areas of California hit by that earthquake. It’s been a slow day here. Really, not much to report, lol.
Veronica Vasquez
My day is going ok, glad that it’s Friday! Probably going to be a lazy weekend binge watching Stranger Things
sheila ressel
It’s Friday so that is always good! Plan on doing some yard work today and finishing the laundry.
Kate Sarsfield
… and talking of laundry, our washing line collapsed so I’ll have to see if I can do a ‘Dad’ on it.
Michele Soyer
Well laundry is staring me in the face.. better get moving and there are cookies to bake….raining so no yard today except to sit in the gallery and enjoy the flowers…..
shelly peterson
I had a great day at the lake, a long day but it was a lot of fun.
Tamra Phelps
Well, my back is doing better. I really think I will be able to start therapy again very soon.
Kate Sarsfield
Oh, thank heavens! I’m soooo pleased 🙂
Sarah L
Happy 4th of July! Watched fireworks last night. BBQ today.
Susan Smith

Happy 4th of July! Today’s going alright for us, hope it’s going good for you
Kim Avery
Happy Fourth of July! I’m getting ready to finish food prep for this afternoons cookout!

Kate Sarsfield
Enjoy your Independence Day, all you Americans in Peanut Land!!!
Shelly Peterson
Happy 4th of July! For some reason I can’t get the giveaway form to load on my home computer or phone but I can on my tablet.
Sarah L
Good swim. Then shopping. Then library. Then 1 1/2 hr massage.
Veronica Vasquez
Didn’t get much sleep last night, so pretty tired today. Other than that today is just another day
Kim Avery
It’s going to be a crazy busy day today. I will be starting the salads and other preps for tomorrow ! Got to make sure I have everything so there’s no last minute surprises!
Michele Soyer
Cleaned out the palm tree at the end of the drive.. fertilized and composted it.. raked away the dead debris and leaves…am feeling it today….working on hydroponics today and taking it a bit easy….not as young as I used to be.. lol….
Sheila Ressel
I work up at 4:00 a.m. and couldn’t go back to sleep, ugh! Hopefully I will be able to sneak in a nap later in the day.
Kate Sarsfield
I was in bed & asleep by midnight last night! The only drawback? I woke at 4.30, had all the housework done & breakfast eaten by 6.30. Now what do I do?
Sarah L
Had the first Tuesday SPARK group at the gardens today. We toured the annuals and then they planted vincas to take home.
Nancy Chipriano
I slept way too much today. I feel so guilty! (It was nice though ?)
Tamra Phelps
Here’s my comment on the home post. Connie, I hope you’re not encountering too many ghosts on your haunted road trip!
Tamra Phelps
I’m feeling a little icky today. I think it’s the antibiotic I’m on, making me feel blech.
Veronica Vasquez
My day is going relatively ok so far for the most part. Still early, so time will tell!
sheila ressel
So far, so good. It’s early though so the day could go either way!
Michele Soyer
Always love a day after heavy rain.. the air smells fresh and flowery and the sun is shining brightly…outside I go…..
Kate Sarsfield
Up early to leave my sister’s car at the mechanics then home for breakfast. Mammogram later – ugh!
shelly peterson
I have not gone to bed yet even though I am tired. Its too hot.
Nancy Chipriano
We went to the pool as a family. Aubrey was super proud of herself bc she can do somersaults underwater now, lol.
Sarah L
It was boob smush day. Then swimming and lots of errands.
Kate Sarsfield
Mine’s today 🙁
sheila ressel
My day was okay. I did some cleaning, cooking and weeding. Time to relax.
Kim Pincombe-Cole
It is HOTTTT! Such an abrupt change from a cold, rainy June. But summer is here. And I’m ready for it!
Nancy
I am having a nice day. I ran some errands. It is very hot here.
Kristen
My day’s going good. We’ve just had an abrupt change of plans, so who knows what we might get into?
Tamra Phelps
Geeze, I’m coughing today thanks to allergies, and it is not helping the back. How is it July already???
Tamra Phelps
I feel you are about to spend 9 days being that bad influence, lol. Have fun!
Janice Dean
My day is going great! I have my 2 grandsons and we just came back from the pool!
Veronica Vasquez
My day is turning out to be a crazy stressful Monday and not a very good way to start the new month. Hopefully things will even out by day’s end and July will turn out to be a good one
Kate Sarsfield
Here’s to July! Why is my every member of my family a Cancerian apart from me? Anyway, Wimbledon starts today – yay!
Michele Soyer
So glad to hear your daughter is on the way….You will have a fabulous time…Pouring rain here so I have to take the day off.. When the ITCZ Intertropical convergence zone is activated there are no windows to run out and do anything….so oh my a day to do nothing!!!!
laurie nykaza
We were doing spring cleaning which is not the funnest thing to do but were getting it done.
