We got lots of rain yesterday and lightening too but I had already been in the pool so it was okay.  I did not get to see the duck, he fell Saturday night and had a slight concussion and a sprained wrist and didn't feel like going anywhere naturally.  Poor thing.  I was glad I decided to swim before going shopping because I would not have been able to if I hadn't.  Then I got lazy and didn't go shopping anyway.  I'll go soon, it's not that important.

So this is the last of June already.  I wish time went slower but it doesn't so I'll just take what I can get of it.  (Like I have a choice!)

Oh and the duck found his wallet.  In his own pocket.  All credit cards are cancelled.  Goofball.  I told him I was blogging that.  They were cargo shorts and it was in one of the leg pockets.  

So I guess on that note I'll end this for today.  Have a great Monday y'all.  I know I will too...

So yesterday I did win three bucks at canasta but I would much rather have been in the pool.  I had to go back to the dentist too so he could see the gum he trimmed yesterday.  He said to brush it.  I said it was sore but he said to please do it anyway and so I came home and did it and it didn't really hurt.  He said it will heal better and faster if I do it and he's right, as usual.

Then I came home and had several messages from the duck.  His wallet is gone (lost? stolen?) and one of his credit cards is mine (I put one in his name so he can pay for things I need him to pay for me) so I had to cancel it and they are sending me a new card that will be here on Monday.  There were no charges on it and none on any of his cards so I strongly suspect he will end up finding the wallet but you have to do what you have to do.

Then last night I planned on finishing this post to go at midnight as always, got tired and forgot and went to bed at 8:30.  Sorry, but here it is now... Have a great day!

It's Saturday!  It's summer.  We're alive and well.  How great is that?  Stop and look at the flowers and watch the breeze blow through the branches of a tree and be calm and just love life.

The pool has been so amazing I simply cannot tell you.  Today I shall be in the card room though instead because I am filling in for someone that's on a cruise.  Instead of me, huh? Ha ha.  Anyway that's where I'll be, what about you?  Any plans?  Anything wonderful happening in your world?

I am sorry to say my mouth is still not finished.  It turns out I needed a bit more surgery in there so I had that done and now I am waiting for that to heal.  It's sore but not too bad, nothing I can't handle.  He said the gum wasn't even, it was curvy sort of and it would be better overall if it was smooth, it was just the way it healed.  I trust him completely so it is what it is.  No stitches this time though.

I need to clean out my freezer.  I looked in there for something and couldn't find it.  There is way too much "stuff" and some of it should be tossed and the rest needs to be organized so that is my next project.  Shouldn't take too long, not like that closet of mine that is, once again, totally out of control.  How does that happen?  I get it nice and neat and everything all lined up, colors sorted, everything hanging the same way then bam!  It's explodes again.  And honey pie, that is a big project.

Guess that's about it from me today.  Hope your Saturday is tits, mine will be, you can count on that!

First off I have to tell you that yesterday Andre' said I did fabulous at my workout.  He never said anything like that before so I was most happy.  Then I worked in the pool but only for about half an hour because I was pretty whipped by then but it sure felt good.

Someone said yesterday that I was "single".  I don't ever remember being single as an adult and it sort of took be back a bit.  I mean I am single but I thought of myself as widowed.  I know it's only a title and means nothing but I sort of liked it actually.  I have to think on it a spell. It's really hard to go from being "we" to being "I".

Wish me luck at getting done at the dentist this time.  Hopefully I'll be all done and it will all be worthwhile.  I still won't be able to bite into an apple without cutting it up but that's about the only thing so that's not too bad.  And very honestly I have always cut up my apples anyway so when you think about it, well, it's great.

So it's Friday and that makes y'all happy.  Me?  I could care less.  Retired is lovely.  Perfectly lovely.  Have a wonderful day.  You know I will...

The pool was amazing yesterday and my hour went by so fast, I could have stayed much longer but I was getting hungry and I had to get out of the sun too.

Today was to find me back in the dentist's chair at 8:15 for another three or so hours but now it will be Friday instead.  It doesn't hurt and I am almost finished so I don't mind but I want to have it done.  And I already changed my canasta game and now I have to change Andre' but hopefully he will be able to have me come in today instead of Friday.  Anyway it will all work out in the end and you just have to roll with the punches when things happen.

Are you watching Big Brother?  I love that show.  And I love that it's on three times a week in the summer.  Pure trash.

I am doing pretty good on the new improved bee bandwagon, I am down four pounds and will soon be back at my low weight hopefully and then on to better and lower yet.  Dr. Wacks said he'd give me Qsymia which is a weight loss pill but my insurance won't cover it and it's $260.00 a month and I don't want to spend that on it so I'll just keep plugging along.  I did get a sample of 15 pills and will see about taking them, not sure yet if I will or not.

And I guess that's all I have in my brain for today.  Oh, one more thing!  Last night I went out to dinner with the (self appointed) mayor (of the pool) and his lovely wife, it was so nice of them to include me and I had a great low calorie dinner.

Have a great Thursday y'all.  I will too, for sure...

I was up early yesterday so I got to see this.  It is not foggy, that is Saharan dust.

Then I went and spent three hours in the dental chair and I have to go again probably on Thursday but they'll call and tell me when.

And then I went to poker where I won a hundred and seventy five dollars!  An all time record for me I think, no, wait, once I won over two hundred but still, it was a great night for me.  

Today I have no games so I will be at the pool.  I am back on the bee bandwagon hardcore again.  I am determined to move that scale.

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday y'all.  I will too, for sure!

Today will find me at the dentist's office.  I was originally supposed to go at 1:00 so I was planning on swimming first but I got a call telling me to be there at 8:15 (in the morning!) so I got everything ready, clothes laid out, alarm set, all that stuff so I can go somewhere that early.  Plus that means I will be in the workers traffic so it will take longer to get there.  I am not totally thrilled by this turn of events but I am nothing if not flexible.  I am not 100% clear on this but I think my implants will be finished today.  Wouldn't that be lovely?  I sure am ready.

I was pretty worn out yesterday from all the sports on Sunday, that can really take it out of you.  I was, however, able to do my hour of water jogging and that felt wonderful.

Tonight is poker and I have to go to the bank because somewhere along the way I seem to have spent my money and they are just so good about giving me more when I ask nicely.  They even gave me a card to put in the machine and get money out of that any time I want.  Isn't that nice?  I hope your bank is that nice to you.  (jk)

And that, my friends, is all I have in my brain today.  I hope your Tuesday is lovely.  Mine will be, um, interesting?  But great anyway!

So I am going to tell you all about going to sports!

This is the bus I chartered for the day, that

was my donation.

And this is the duck next to some of the boxed

lunches we had.

As soon as we got on the bus (10:30)

we all ate our lunches like starving little kids.

When you pay for the bus you get row 1 seat 1!

So here is Old Chuckie Duck at sports with me.

Then we had some cuban coffee shots.

It tasted like nyquil but I drank it and

pretended it wasn't too bad.  

But it was.

And it makes you zoom!

This is the field at sports.

It is indoors and air conditioned

and actually quite civilized.

If you have to go to sports that is.

This is the somewhat creepy thing

that I thought was a bird but

guess what?  It's a fish.

A marlin.

Go figure.

So our team was the Marlins (I have a team now, aren't you impressed?) and they were playing baseball against the New York Mets whom I have never seen before.  Well I had never seen the Marlins either but anyway...  The Marlins did extremely badly and lost by a whole lot, something like 179 to 1 or something ridiculous like that.  We stayed for the entire thing.  

Then since it was family day the kids all got to go out on the field and run the bases which was very cute and they had lots of fun.

On the bus ride home it stormed really badly and I95 had three of the four lanes closed from an accident so we had to get off and go to the turnpike to get home which took a long time but we made it safe and sound.

There were a lot of cheerleaders, both girls and boys (teens) and they were good, they tried so hard to make us happy when our team was losing so badly.  I had fun watching them.

Once a ball was hit right by us and the duck tried to catch it but it went over his head but one guy in our group got it and he got to keep it.  I think for getting it and not getting knocked out or anything.

So there you go, now I know all about sports.  Have a great Monday.  I am going to the pool...

Oboy is this delicious!

My latest Costco find.

There are eight containers of 1/2 cup each

in there for ten bucks.  And it's delicious!

I hope they keep stocking it because I am so happy to have found it.  I also got a set of sheets for the new couch in case I ever get it and a bathing suit and some flip flops and some shrimp and a full tank of gas (at $3.51.9 a gallon).  Very productive I'd say. 

Then I was so hot I changed and went straight to the pool, it felt soooo good.  I love having Saturdays off from cards!  But the next two Saturdays I am filling in for someone but still.

So yesterday was the longest day of the year.  I love it when it is light out later at night, I don't feel like going to bed so early.  

I got a comment recently from my cousin Jackie in Jacksonville (hi Jackie!) but I don't know how to contact him.  If he reads this I hope he will email me so I can contact him.  And yes Jackie, that redhead knows how to comment but usually doesn't! Ha ha.  And Pete and Mike were my parakeets when I was little, don't you remember them? One was green and one was blue.

Don't forget I will be at sports today rooting on the home team whichever one it is.  I hope they have cake there.  Do you think they will?  It's in Miami.  I am a sports jock now (or joke).

Hope your Sunday is totally tits.  Mine will be for sure.  You can count on it!

Roche' was playing dress up yesterday and thought he looked pretty good.  I think he does too.  He sure keeps me company.  

I had a turkey breast in the freezer so I cooked it yesterday when I got back from Andre' and the pool.  Gosh it's good.  I have a lot left too.  I made some of my own tv dinners with it.

Today I have to go the the grocery store because I am going to the Marlin's game with the duck on Sunday.  That's sports in case you don't know.  It's either baseball or football, anyway it's a ballgame.  And I think they have hotdogs.  Anyway it's a fundraiser for the Fern House.

Yesterday I had my best workout ever.  I mean really a good one and I did it all.  At the end Andre' said okay now fifty sit ups and I did fifty-five just to show him.  (Of course then I wanted to lay there until I died but still...)

Then after my shower I did a pedicure so if I go on a cruise I'll be ready.  I don't think I'm going though but you never know.  I'd have to go by myself.  Still don't know.

And that's it from me today y'all.  Have a great Saturday and I will too!
