The Old Folks Home

It rained for about an hour last night. Just a regular shower, not a torrential rain. Today, it's cloudy, and threatening to rain again. YAY! We need rain so bad, and that little hour long shower wasn't nearly enough. There are dead patches of grass in the yard, (not unusual when there's no rain), and everyone is complaining about their gardens not making. It's suppose to rain for the next few days, so hopefully that will save the gardens. Of course, it will revive the grass, (as long as you leave it alone, the root system stays healthy, and when the rain hits, it all springs back to life with gusto), so we'll have to mow OFTEN.

No rain? In Florida? When we lived there it rained often. Fernandina Beach.

Cynthia, Shocking, but yes, Florida gets drought years now. I think they call them La nina years. El nino years are excessive rain years. You are correct, that it didn't use to be this way. We always got plenty of rain.

I wrote a lengthy post, because I needed to vent, but I didn't post it. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that has written something to post, thought better of it, and not posted it.

Battle Royale over the pool. At this point, I think I will shut up, stay out of it, and let him, and Pinch a Penny deal with it. The only problem with that is, it will take time for him to see that he's being ripped off, and it will cost him more money that it should. Once again, the fight is about stabilizer. I get things going right, then he runs up there, and they suggest this, and that. The fool buys it, and sneaks it into the pool. It throws things out of whack, and he blames ME?

Sometimes with posting on the threads, less is more.

This reminds me about something I read about hot tubs:

The second best day of your life is getting a hot tub. The best day of you life is getting rid of the hot tub!

I can relate to the work it takes to keep the chemistry balanced.

Hi Cynthia!

Having my annual echocardiogram this afternoon.

Just routine, or are they monitoring something?

I had coffee and steel cut oats this morning.

That's what I have Tuesday and Thursday mornings. M,W,F, it's oatmeal. I sometimes have steel cut for dinner on Saturday night to even the score.

I do not have that much oatmeal, but I do like it.

I love oatmeal the way I fix it. It's not too expensive, it's filling, it's good, and good for you.

Good day at the cardiologist. No further deterioration of my aortic valve. I asked him if I could start running again. His reply, "Get a good pair of shoes and use common sense." Will I, or won't I ? The Princess says, "No way."
