A Cool Day Today After 97 Degrees Yesterday!

I had a good day since the heat went away. May is too early for 97 degree weather. I went to the grocery store that has a pharmacy in it only to discover they were closed for lunch. I didn’t need anything but my meds but Jessica did. She was picking up a few items for their camp trip. Plus she has a... Sign in to see full entry.

I Have A Suspicion My New Grand Baby Will Be Spoiled!

There are some reels on Facebook I follow. Tales of American Frontier, cabins built in the wilderness, and Michigan Moments are my favorites. They are always accompanied by ads. Once algorithms see what you view they inundate the reels with ads. I often wonder what Amazon makes on allowing purchases... Sign in to see full entry.

Frustrating To Lose A Potential Post!

I had the most magnificent, well written post, EVER! Lol I decided to proofread my post before I hit save and post. I have no idea what I did but the page started refreshing and then the post was gone! I suppose it wasn't meant to be. It was crying in my beer so to speak because my Pistons seem to...

An Eventful Day For Me. Crazy Misfortune!

I have a dishwasher but living by myself I dont use it very often. It's quicker to hand wash the few dishes I dirty on a daily basis. I still haven't figured out how a small glass broke when it slipped out of my hand, hit the edge of a sturdy plastic bowl and broke. I thought all the pieces fell... Sign in to see full entry.

Busy Saturday, Sports Teams In Action And Prepping For A Sale!

My Tigers continue to struggle. There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. The pitching is in disarray due to injury. The offense is stagnant with few guys producing. Three key players are on the injury list. I have always maintained that a team who isn't producing when starters go down then the... Sign in to see full entry.

Quiet Day In The Treasure Valley.

I had a very quiet day. I should have dusted my house but I just did my exercises, walked 11,095 steps which included 4 15 minute walks and 500 steps per hour as well over an 8 hour period. One of the things I do after I awake and have my first glass of water is to print my puzzles in the eedition... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Great Game For My Pistons! Yahoo!

The Pistons won their 5th straight playoff game after going down 3-1 against Orlando. The Cavaliers are a formidable opponent. This has been a chippy series too. The Pistons are a tenacious defending team. They have won both games by 10 point margins. The series moves to Cleveland with the next game... Sign in to see full entry.

It Figures The Last Medical Appointment For The Year I Get Dreadful News!

All of my medical appointments for the year have been pretty good. I ended up with 2 new low dose medications for cholesterol and bone density. Both of them I can fix by my appointments next year and get off the meds. But today's xrays revealed the only way to make the correction is through surgery.... Sign in to see full entry.

Another Crazy Day In Detroit Sports.

Two time Cy Young recipient Tarik Skubal went down with loose bodies in his pitching elbow. It not a serious surgery but will take 2 to 3 months to recover. He could possibly be back the middle of August. Tonight's pitcher Framber Valdez had a nightmare start. An error in the first inning and then a... Sign in to see full entry.

Somewhat Busy On An 84 Degree Monday!

My son-in-law came by after work to mow my lawn. It happened to be the hottest part of the day. Luckily for him he didn’t have to bag the clippings. I'm always pleased when the clippings get mulched back into the yard because it's free food for the lawn. I'm supposed to get my first treatment for... Sign in to see full entry.
