We have FINALLY had some fall weather today. Yesterday it
was 92; today it was 64. Woot! I mowed, and sat around the house later with
long sleeves on. Happy sigh. Although it won’t be long until I’m complaining
about having to sit around the house in long sleeves. My comfort zone is rather
narrow.

It is, oh, two steps from my fridge to the counter, but I
still have to carry everything in “one trip.”

Our coleus is out of control. Plus, random volunteer morning
glories. Are morning glories ever not volunteer? Well, yes, I guess they are since
ours came from my dad’s house.

I was trying to cut a raw sweet potato. As you can see, it
was not going well. I really need to work out more!

Dr. M took his dad to the Ford
dealership get some recall work done on his truck, and they had pink balloons in
the showroom – for breast cancer awareness month. It’s good that Dr. M can
ferry his dad to appointments, but he is still very much in back surgery
recovery mode. All the driving wears him out. He is impatiently waiting for the
day when he has his full strength & stamina back!

We’re a little superstitious
about our baseball around here. We always have my ancient Samuel Spaniel watch
the game with us. My brother gave him to me when I was in college, so he’s an
antique now. Ha!

I FINALLY ate an apple that had been sitting on my desk for
almost 2 weeks & had to document the fact for Dr. M. It was really good!

New crochet project (yes, I have three other WIPs but I got
this new yarn & it was taunting me, so…). I think it looks a little bit
like candy corn, so it’s very appropriate for this time of year! Although someone on Facebook just said it looks like pizza & now I can't unsee that. Ha!
Well, the Braves are 1 and 1 here in the post season. The
first game was SO ANNOYING, and the second game was SO SATISFYING. I’m going to
be glad when baseball is over – I don’t think I can handle all these extremes
for much longer. Ha!
I texted Baseball Steve the other night "I hope the Dodgers and the Yankees get into the World Series, and then they both lose!"

ReplyDeleteI know that feeling! After I was released from MUSC last December that first week home I remember laying on the couch wondering if I would ever feeling normal again.
or else you need a sharper knife. and yeah, candy corn, but oh yeah, pizza!
ReplyDeleteI don't see pizza but yes to the candy corn. Cool weather - nice. Hopefully we'll see some soon ourselves
ReplyDeleteI have an apple that's been on my desk for so long, if I touch it, it may turn to mush.
ReplyDeletei've had that same sweet potato issue. You need some serious arm muscles to get through some of those babies
Yes, pizza! I saw it before you said it, so pizza it is.
ReplyDeleteFall has finally arrived here, too, after a string of tropical weather. I am more than ready--so sick of heat and humidity and being a hostage of air conditioning. Feels so good to sleep in a truly chilly room with fresh air and snuggled down into a comforter.
Give my best to The Professor.
OK, I wouldn't have seen pizza in that crocheting, but like you, now that's ALL I see! I love your bug wallpaper, BTW.
ReplyDeleteWell, dang. I didn't get emails for your last two posts, so I'm behind again. My great dream is that all your blogger people would come over to Wordpress. This Google blog system seems crazy to me -- but some people think I'm crazy, so there you are.
ReplyDeleteYou can put me in the candy corn column, although now that I've heard "pizza" that's all I can think of. I can't have pizza for a while, since I had dental surgery yesterday and have been given lists of instructions and some very nice pain meds. Actually, I was supposed to take the pain meds every four hours, but I'm taking them every six now, and that's doing fine. In another day or so I may be able to go every eight, and then just cease and desist.
I'm still trying to figure out why you tried to cut a raw sweet potato. I finally remembered I do have one recipe where I have to do that, but I don't make it very often. Better to bake, then cut, sez me. I like easy!
I eat apple cores, do you? Not the seeds or stem, of course.
ReplyDeleteNo apple would ever last for two weeks on my desk - I eat one every single day.
