Nobody is Promised Tomorrow. . .
Just say no to the FitBit – today. I’ll get back with the program tomorrow. I have to. Because I got two fine new pair of jeans. Jeans that fit like a gloves. No room for expansion. The new jeans and they were new, came from the Goodwill. Our Goodwill gets shopworn, but new merchandise from The Gap, Ann Taylor and Banana Republic on a regular basis.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla.
I would say that I was a couch potato this afternoon. But, we don’t have a couch. I lounged on the shaded balcony.
Carlton who is “fine”, decided to register his car for another two years.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: I have an abundance of bread products. And an underwhelming amount of stuff to put with the bread. So, we’ll have fried egg sandwiches for dinner. With tomatoes.
Knew it was going to be an interesting day when I walked into the office and found that our system wouldn’t load. Like every good hack, I immediately started with “well, it was fine when I left yesterday”, “I didn’t make any changes that would cause it to not load”, “the trouble is at the distant end”… fired off some emails, made a phone call… drank coffee, ate leftover cake… AND, someone somewhererestarted a server or two and everything was good.
It was drippy at walk time today – so no new photos. My new camera is “weatherproof”, but my old lenses aren’t.
Mr C seems to have survived his encounter with the parking lot gate. He is “fine”.
Enjoy every sandwich: Chicken quesadilla.
I headed out with my cheap-ass old macro lens – planning on sneaking up on a bee or butterfly… but people are more interesting. Nevermind that I was using my macro lens.
Carlton did an extra shift volunteering at hospital this afternoon. When he was walking back from the bus stop, he managed to get hit by a parking lot gate. Fortunately it whacked his shoulder and missed his head. No, he can not sue anyone – since technically – he was trespassing by taking a short cut thru the parking lot.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: I had cheese and tomato for lunch and will be serving turkey and cheese for dinner.
We have had a run of sweet weather. I can take this kind of climate change! But, I am sure the muggies will be back soon.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: Plain old tuna on whole wheat.
I plan to have made a deposit on “suitable” old lady lodging by Labor Day. No rush. The lease on this place lasts until April 2016.
What’s with that grave yard. It is about a mile from our apartment. So, it makes a nice 2 mile round trip walk for me. And, Mr C likes it because he can talk story with the grave diggers.
Still windy. But 10 delightful degrees below normal. And in July below normal is a good thing.
Mr C had his pre-radiation CT-scan today. According to Carlton, Dr Bobby was less positive than he was one week ago. Well, I had a nice Merkel Creature free week. The less than positive vibes from Dr Bobby was not a surprise. To me at least. Carlton is in a lovely “fine” state of mind.
Why don’t white folks ride buses? Seriously. I was out on walkabout this afternoon and decided I had made FitBit happy and I was tired, so I hopped on a homeward bound bus. Including me and the driver there were 18 people on the bus. There were black people, brown people and beige people on the bus. But only one white people – me. Attention white people: Your Metro Pass works on the bus and the bus is always cheaper. And sometimes faster.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: My favorite – turkey, swiss and coleslaw.
Too windy for flying creatures today. So, I went out in search of what the Brits call “car mascots”. I only found two and they were actually “truck mascots”.
Today’s Enjoy Every Sandwich – Grilled Ham and Cheese.
Today, I was trying to get flying things using my old Leica 14/150 lens. Bumble bees aren’t too hard.
No success with flying dragonflies. Had to settle for this little resting Eastern Amberwing.
We had a nice old fashioned Sunday dinner – chicken, mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy and overcooked green beans. (Mr C likes his green beans overcooked.) And today’s
Enjoy Every Sandwich: Think we’ll have chicken quesadillas. Maybe, I should make fish tacos. Gotta have guacamole and beer. So, the Mexican theme.
Not a very good Bug-In-Flight image. But, it is the best one from today.
Lazy day today. My FitBit keeps trying to get me to go out and walk another 2,000 steps. Not happening. I did do yoga. But, the FitBit doesn’t give much credit for yoga.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: We’ll be having cheese burgers for dinner.
There used to be a bank and a dance studio across the street. Now all that is left is the bank vault. Who knew that banks really had vaults.
New photo project, flying insects. You have been warned. There will be more.
After I finished the bee project, I noticed people eating ice cream in the next block. I wander over, hoping to snag some photos. I snagged a BIG bowl of lemon sorbet instead. I am not sure why there was free ice cream behind this office building. And, yes, I ate the whole bowl. Enjoyed every bite. Every calorie.
Death watch for Mr C is on hold for the indefinite future. But, that doesn’t mean we have stopped –
Enjoying Every Sandwich: Grilled cheese and tomato is on tap for this evening.
SQL coding project is on track. It is better than working Suduko puzzles. Nevertheless, I left the stove on after lunch today. Mr C has been eying me suspiciously. I didn’t tell him that I left the stove on when I was in my 30s.
Trucks are verboten in Arlington. Exceptions are made for the important deliveries.
Nice day today. Cool and cloudy – sort of like a “bad” day in Kona in winter.
Enjoy Every Sandwich: One of my favorites today – turkey, swiss and coleslaw. Feeling a little lazy tonight – I might deploy sandwiches for the evening meal as well.
It is hot today. But, it is July. So, what do we expect?
Mr C is getting set to start another 6 weeks of radiation to his head. Maybe in a couple of weeks. I fear that he will start glowing in the dark.
I am back to writing SQL reports at the volunteer job. After 50+ years, I am still slinging code. Who would have guessed?
No reason to stop:
Enjoying every sandwich: Mr C’s fav – tuna melt. I am going to make chicken and rice for dinner.
I wonder if they make underwater housings for my new camera. I wonder – would I take an expensive camera underwater… Who am I kidding – no way. LOVE the new camera.
