Good morning to you all! I hope your day has started out well.
Not much going on in my world. I went swimming yesterday and I guess there area, which is almost 11 miles from us must have gotten hit with the storm we never did get. Their patio table had little puddles of water and there was a lot of debris in the pool like leaves and and stuff. Took me about 15 minutes to skim most of it out. Of course, once you start swimming it churns up what fell to the bottom so I cleaned up a bit more before I left.
Jean: I miss playing adult cards as we have no one to play with anymore, even in Indiana. I do have fun playing games with Thomas, though I hate playing Monopoly because Jack is a shark at that game. A couple years ago, I bought him the same card game, Skipbo, that I had the year or two before so I keep one here at the house. Like I said, the Racko game is still in its packaging so we can learn to play that. Thomas is old enough to understand it now. We used to play Rook a lot when we were kids and I might find out if he has that and if not, buy it and keep it here when he comes and spends the night or such.
I got an newsletter/email from a yarn company with a free pattern on knitting totes out of plastic shopping bags. It takes a huge amount of bags though, so I might just saved them up and give it a try somewhere down the road just to see what they are like. They are supposed to be pretty strong. You find all kinds of weird stuff people knit. I know of several people who save their pet's hair and then knit with it. Grosses me out, but I have seen sweaters made out of them.
I can't believe we are almost halfway through August already. Summer is whizzing by and fall is trying to jump right in. Won't be long until it will be long pants and sweater time again.
I am struggling a bit this week with female stuff again and hope it doesn't last three weeks like last time. I have a dr appt the 25th and I am going no matter what is going on with me. I am doing ok with the hunger and probably making up for anything over pts with my extra and my activity points, but I do not like using them unless I am really hungry. I guess it will all work out in the end, though the scale shows I am up a couple lbs.
Everyone have a great hump day. I am going to start on upstairs bathrooms today I guess.
