I love that Iowa State football game tradition!

You make me feel like I should make some chili next week. Both DH and I love the stuff and it will be too hot back in Florida.

I can't use anything with straps to hold up the girls because the dress is off one shoulder. I don't want to use a traditional strapless because I will have bra lines in the back. But maybe one of the tube tops I used after my shoulder surgery will work!

So sorry you and your Dad went through that. My MIL had several of those trips in her last couple of years after falling into dementia. So hard when they can't really explain what is going on.

But no excuse for the hospital staff not properly communicating with you - they should know better.

I may try lowering the dose this next week depending on how the rest of the week goes. I actually did okay with dinner tonight, lunch was difficult which was just a Fairlife shake.

Boobs and age. Boobs and weight loss. Sigh. I remember when they were not so troublesome, and could be stored in cute little lacy things, without the level of hydraulics currently required. Yes, gravity is the law.

Peps, what a long and frustrating day while you waited and worried. Of course they needed to keep you closely informed. Where they expecting your father to understand the test results? I hope your Dad is having a more comfortable day today. And yeah on moving forward with the RV.

CC, yuck to the not Fair life protein shake. Can you buy just plain fair life milk? 2 cups is 26 grams of protein. I would rather drink that. Or doctor up the other shake by blending it up with ice and some fruit.

Diane sounds like you celebrated DH well, and all is good at your house except for the lack of Saltines. I too enjoy their basic nature (not everything has to be improved), but find it frustrating how fast they go stale once the package is opened, especially in humid weather.

The jazz club concert was pleasing, and the trio performing played many of the songs we've come to expect from them. We've attended probably 9 or 10 of their shows, so I guess we are fans.

This morning we went to the St. Paul farmer's market and bought all the fixings for Ratatouille. The chopping will commence shortly. We also made a swing through the Pagan Fall Festival. Lots of stands to buy crystals, get a tarot card reading. Some interesting crafts. One woman had a shop selling long sweaters she pieced together using recycled sweaters. Kind of quilt like. They were gorgeous and expensive, but justifiably so. It must involve hours and hours of work. Not curious enough about tarot readings to pay $40. I chatted with a hypnotherapist for a bit. That's the first time anybody had ever piqued my interest in trying hypnosis. I took her card, but to be honest, I'll probably not pursue it.

The weather here is lovely, although unseasonably cool. It was 59 degrees when we left the house this morning. By the time we returned, it was sunny and 71. The sun still has a lot of power. It's cold in the shade and warm in the sun.

Some friends invited us to go with them to a winery tomorrow where they have a membership. Should be similar weather, so I think it will be a lovely Sunday afternoon.

The wind has finally stopped, but it's in the 50s. Feels like fall! I ran to the store for dinner fixin's and walked the dog.

I can't get the Fairlife shakes around here without a 3 hour round trip drive or ordering from Costco and they would arrive not long before I leave. So Premier it is until I go home. Blech.

Liz, Sedona has packrats that destroy car wiring with alarming frequency. Knock on wood, I've not seen them around my house thankfully.

It's a low news day here. Hope you all are well!
