The Problems Associated With Amblyopia!

The Tigers lost their arbitration case. The decision was released today. They now have 70 million dollars wrapped up in 2 pitchers. All I can say is INSANE!

I Have Been In Shock Mode For Most Of The Day!

I was putting the finishing touches on the tax information so it could be placed in the accountant's portal. Suddenly, I got a notification on my phone. I read the headline and dismissed it since I had been reading all types of scenarios before the trade deadline. My daughter thought it was a click... Sign in to see full entry.

The Stagnation Has Returned To The Treasure Valley!

The temps are in the the 50's for the week but we have another inversion going on. It's so disappointing to have nice weather but horrible air. I'm hoping the air quality will be low in the morning because I would like to freshen up the house with outside air. I have an air purifier but fresh air... Sign in to see full entry.

The Day Just Slipped Past Me So To Speak!

I started out guns ablazing, getting my chores done and putting things in their place. I got the decor organized so that when my son-in-law comes by it will be a quick chore for him. I have the 6 pictures organized as well. About 1 p.m. mountain time I decided to put a puzzle together. I told myself... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Nice Day In The Treasure Valley.

Today is my daughter's birthday. Since I am susceptible to pneumonia we ordered sandwiches from a deli that was new to us. Aside from being outrageously expensive they were good sandwiches. I had a reuben on rye. I asked for house dressing but you'd think there was a shortage due to the small amount... Sign in to see full entry.

Wonderful Day In The Treasure Valley!

The high today was 50 degrees. There was morning sun today but the rest of the day was overcast. I checked my weather app and the next week will be in the 50's. I feel so guilty having such nice weather while so many other folks are dealing with frigid temps. It's a trade off for the 100 degree days... Sign in to see full entry.

I Am Completely Puzzled! Spirits, Glow In The Dark And More!

I stayed home today. I spent the morning walking and exercising. I moved up another level on my loop bands. I have no desire to get to the highest level. I'm satisfied with getting a decent workout! I worked on putting decor back on the walls. I'm finally done with putting Christmas decorations up.... Sign in to see full entry.

Quiet Day In The Valley.

I went to the salon a little before noon because a color was scheduled. I had a great opportunity to get going on putting the house decorations and pictures up but I got in exercise mode. As hard as I try I can't get the recommended amount protein daily. I make a concerned effort to eat but I just... Sign in to see full entry.
