I had the Cheesecake
It was totally worth it
Got a couple minutes to check in. My sister arrived from Massachusetts on Saturday and well, it’s been busy.
Here’s my family in a nutshell: ‘Yeah, I’m watching my sugar intake for various weight, health, cancer reasons.’ Sister shows up with a Wright Dairy Farm Cheesecake (only the best cheesecake ever), Cinnabons, a chocolate cake, cookies, and turnovers. So I’ve be fighting the urge to sugar binge all week.
I’m still feeling like a cheesecake breakfast but I think I’ll go take my morning walk instead.
My kids are, of course, enjoying the sweets. I am down 28 pounds this morning, thank you very much.
I still want cheesecake!
Lifted from a friend’s FB page
Thought I’d snag some pictures of my roses before the next round of storms comes through in a bit.
Got my walk in too. It was still wicked hot but at least with the overcast skies I didn’t bake myself at the same time. I forgot to run to the store to pick up some more tanks after my dr appt, tank tops that aren’t black. I got great new bike shorts though … they have a pocket for my phone! No more shoving it between the ta-tas. The phone that is ;)
Had my port flushed yesterday, caught up with my lovely chemo nurses, made some of the other patients laugh. (That’s always fun!) But man, did I have a headache after that! Like migraine strength. Then got nauseous afterwards and didn’t feel well the rest of the day. Could be psychosomatic, just being back in the chemo center, or maybe it was stopping for a burger afterwards (cheat day). Lord knows I don’t do that anymore. So many changes this past year, I sometimes don’t know how the body will react.
Husband leaves for SC today around noon. He’ll be back late tomorrow if everything goes well. Helping a shipmate with his HVAC. I married a good one.
Still have four kittens to find homes for. Facebook posting is not helping. So a lawn sign is going out this weekend. I so don’t want to have to bring them to the shelter, but I can’t have 8 cats! Lol
I smell like Off!
Happy Friday!
have you ever used Tumblr live before?
yes, I regularly use Tumblr live
I use it sometimes, but not regularly
Used to, but not anymore
Have never used it
For the record, accidentally tapping on Tumblr live when it randomly appears every week does not count as using Tumblr live for the sake of this poll. This is only referring to purposeful use of the feature.
I’d appreciate it if people could share this for a larger sample size!
Slept like a rock … err, brick.
Wait. Can you hear that? What’s … oh, a choir of angels singing!
Getting a little sun while there’s little humidity.
Don’t worry, radiated skin is in the shade.
It’s National Kitten Day! My porch is covered in them.
It’s not been a great week
I did not walk today. First, it was hot as hell at 8:30 in the morning already. Second, there was a 300 lb bear in my neighbors back yard last night (which buts up to our back yard) and we’ve no idea where it went. Guess I’m walking with my baseball bat tomorrow!
There was a murder just up the street the other night. Guy shot and killed his stepfather. Shot his mother too, but she’s going to live. I’ve been here 18 years. This is the first murder I know of. I think someone was murdered a couple years before we moved here but the body was never found so no one really knows what happened.
Our neighbors across the street lost their 8 year old daughter last week. They were visiting family in NJ when she had a bad asthma attack. Her lung(s) collapsed and she passed. Her funeral etc was this weekend. It’s been very somber around here. There’s just no words.
They’ve obviously had a bunch of people down all week and their A/C went out. So they asked James for help. He got it up and running and heard a round of cheers go up from inside the house. A brief moment of levity. David asked what he owed him and James was all “don’t you worry about it” and told him if they need anything to just let us know. Poor little punkin’.
The mini split never arrived on Friday - they didn’t have a driver, so we’ve been working on the smokehouse in the heat. Now it’s supposed to arrive tomorrow. I’ve got to have my port flushed on Thursday. James goes to SC on Friday. And my older sister arrives for a visit on Saturday. Here’s hoping things improve, including this crazy weather!
Well this was cheery.
