Friday the 13th! So far so good. My chai tea is as delicious as always, the day promises to be perfect weather, sunny, 80 degrees, low humidity.
Again, no firm plans. Tentative plans to go to the movies this evening. I might go shopping/browsing today. Birthday gift certificates to spend.
Last night we watched Summer of Soul on Hulu. In 1969 there was a music festival in Harlem. It was filmed, but then nothing was done with the film until now. Worth watching just to see a young Marilyn McCoo and Gladys Knight. Spellbinding.
DH has 4 days off in a row starting Sunday. We toyed with the idea of a quick trip to Orlando to just hang at a pool and go to House of Blues for music. Delta variant and a developing tropical storm have persuaded us to stay home. Staycation it is!
I'm doing reasonably well with eating during the day, but going off the rails in the evening. Same old song. The fight continues.
I'm safely in NYC, waiting to see my baby ! Will check in tomorrow. Made it up in two days..mostly drove and slept.

A staycation sounds great to me!!!!!
The contractor broke my house yesterday!!!! Well, the electricity anyhow.... Luckily, only the guest room power is out. Oh, and then the power to the master bath is out because they were messing around in there thinking they could fix the guest room issue. Sigh....
The contractor and his small crew did not leave until after dark last night. I ate dinner at 9:45 and fell asleep in my chair by 10:15! The constant pace I have been keeping has caught up with me.
I am bagging the dog show this weekend. Instead I will stay home and relax. I need to recharge.
I also started back training yesterday after a significant break. My last training session was July 15! I did not seem to lose much strength while off, but I am already sore for the workout. I plan to workout tomorrow afternoon to get the lactic acid flowing OUT of my muscles and ease the soreness.
Weight was naturally up this morning from the work out. That's okay by me. Still lower than it was almost all spring.
Glad Diane O. is in NYC getting to see her daughter and other family. Liz, hope you are okay. Not like you to miss a day.
End of the first week of school will be celebrated with a visit to the endodontist for a possible root canal. Oh joy!
