Sunshiny Saturday at the MSC

[SMLCHNG]

Good morning!

We both got up around 6:00, but after falling asleep on the couch at 9:00 pm, we got a good amount of sleep.

Yesterday's work was hell - worst day ever. Trying to fill in some of the dietician duties is killing me. Just too much on my plate.

We have already been to the grocery store. Have a Zoom meeting with an insurance consultant that we had a seminar with a few weeks ago. Still more Medicare stuff to learn.

Afterwards we'll hit the liquor store, then an early dinner.

Have a great Saturday!!

Another record breaking day (and night) here in the Upper LH Corner. I broke down and cut a hole in the plastic covering one of our bedroom windows so that I could vent the portable AC through it and get the room down to sleeping temperatures last night, so it wasn't too bad.

The condos in the development we stay in when we go to Hawaii have their AC controls programmed to go no lower than 72° (due to high electric costs) . I was talking with one of the maintenance guys and said that we just couldn't sleep when it was that hot and he started laughing and said that he has to put an extra blanket on his bed to be able to sleep when it gets that cold....

Hey folks!

Late start here at Carolina Cabana. But we finished washing down the rat or the outside wall that doesn’t get much sun. It was looking rather dingy with moss growing in some spots. What a different a Little water and a scrub brush make.

It’s been dripping here off and on (from the sky -mot the hose we were using:)).

Today will not bw a beach or pool day but since it’s not hot that’s ok.

We need a lot of rain to get the pond back to its normal depth. Since it was drained about 4’ feet that’s going to take a lot of rain that we’re just not getting. At least with the breezes the algae has moved out.

Aloha, peeps.

No sun, grey here and even a bit chilly. Rain is holding off until overnight, so we should be able to watch some fireworks for a wedding thing up the road tonight.

We’ve been re-watching The Sopranos all week and that got us in the mood for Italian food. So we’re having lasagna with meatballs and sausage, and Mr. Lime is working on a gorgeous charcuterie board. That will last us through football tomorrow, too.

Have a lovely day, BN!

I was up at the normal time since I had to work today It's a clear, crisp sunshiny day here. I came home and started laundry , then I turned on the Texas game just in time to see them score just before halftime! I normally don't root for the Longhorns but since they're playing you know who, I'm rooting for them today...like Matthew McConaugHEY!
I'm going to put a beef roast in the insta pot and shred it up for Beef Taco Salad with green chili gravy for dinner tonight.
Tomorrow morning Bryan is getting a couple of tires put on the new car and then we're going to take his Mom to lunch.
I'm also going to start on the list for packing. We're leaving this Friday for our first vacation in a long time. Friday is also the second grandson's bday. He'll be 14. And the 15th will be our 46th Anniversary! So excited to celebrate in Maine!
Go Bucks!

Good afternoon. I just got my email about this month's Beer Of The Month club shipment and I have until 8:00pm Tuesday to make changes, and there will be at least one change made. One is a beer I've had before and I'm not paying shipping so I can have it again.

Hi everyone!

Cool sunny day in Michigan. Inside chores are mostly done. Napped through some of the Michigan game and now listening to my Spartys play Maryland. I don’t have cable and won’t pay a streaming service, although I might decide to do that for football season. Love watching college ball!

Debating cutting the grass. Adopted a dog for the night, so I may take advantage of the fact they they are currently relatively calm, and attempt it.

Or I might just nap on the couch

Hi there! We were going to a craft at the county fair grounds, but it drizzled rain, so up to Erie for Mexican. I got some craft wood to paint and the fun was done. Once home, I spent 2 hours under the house.

Evening all. Had our meeting with the Medicare specialist. She's just awesome! She also checked all of the doctors I see (including Dentist and Eye doc) and they are all on Medicare's list. YAY!!

Per her instructions I opened an account with Social Security. However, it just spun and spun and spun, while it was "verifying my information".

Afterwards I tended to some laundry, then we went to the liquor store, then Hooters for dinner. Thought of you and Garry, Larry.

CU Buffs are playing Nebraska... so far it's not going CU's way.. So we're watching St. Louis Cardinals baseball. BUT - E is happy that OSU beat Arkansas today 39-31.

Gonna start calling you Bill, the Hermit.

Hope the couch won!

Especially if it's one you didn't like!

We've been watching it off and on again, too!

Whew! Glad it was a little better for you!!

I can't believe you waited a day to do that! I would have cut that hole on night ONE!

I guess it is what you get used to... BUT I'm right there with you! 72° is not comfy - at ALL In the summer we have the upstairs A/C set at 68°and the downstairs at 70°
In winter our heat downstairs is set to the same 70° (and yes I wear T-shirts all year) while the upstairs is 63° if I can get away with it! But I often have to bump it up to 65° though. In the cold weather, I will actually use the blankets that I shove off of my side during the summer!

Unless it's some kind of Medicare Supplement plan, I don't think Dentist and Medicare go in the same sentence. It does pay for eye care (eye health), but not glasses.
I find it ironic that three things that Medicare doesn't cover are teeth, glasses, and hearing aids. Those seem to be the three things that most of us retirees need most. It's good that it does cover new knees and hips though....

Thanks Ken! It's been a very long time since we've been able to go and we're looking forward to it
Sorry that you're not happy with your teams outcome today. Yours is not the only upset today. ND got knocked off by Northern Illinois and Iowa State took down Iowa! I love football
