We're already getting severe weather warnings etc. I'm confused though how we would get tornados because it is neither hot nor humid. Mostly I hate big storms because the parking lot at school is vast, flat, tree less and on a hill, perfect for a lightning strike. That parking lot has threatened death, or at least broken bones so many times with it's thick covering of ice or making my umbrella into a potential lightning rod. Time to retire :)

124.6, still down. I actually ate over my calories yesterday, coming in at 1,399.

We had a very nice date night last night with a sushi dinner, lemon drop martini at a fun bar and then the Foreigner Tribute band. As DH says, there were a lot of grey hairs there! They joked that they would have an intermission halfway through so we could all take our evening meds!

Speaking of meds, I took my shot today even though my weight is a bit under goal. Will continue to try and up the calories a bit. Tonight's shrimp with cheesy grits should help!

Cloudy, gloomy day. It might hit 60 today. More clouds tomorrow with a chance of rain. The Midwest has a high chance for some pretty bad storms tomorrow including hail and tornadoes. The bad stuff is supposed to miss us. Hope it misses my Mom and my brother and Diane in the Twin Cities!

Church this morning and then kind of a lazy day since then. Took a little nap since last night we were up past our normal bedtime.

Think I might work on the dreaded Etsy site this afternoon!

You two are marvelous hosts! Sounds like you've planned a great visit. And nice touch planning nap time.

After our coffee yesterday, DH said let's stop at Costco and get the laptop you wanted. So I did it, I bought an Apple Airbook. I love it! Its like I got a new window into the world. At home, I do my surfing on a kindle or my phone, both are woefully underpowered for serious searches like travel planning.

The sun was out in full force again, so I turned my porch chair directly into it's path, and lifted my face up into the rays. Oh, it feels so good.

I talked to my Aussie sister for about an hour last night, so good to catch up. She has her naturalization ceremony in a couple of weeks. I hope citizenship gives her more protection coming through customs. She's the one who got detained once and sent back to Australia. Because of that, she usually gets more aggressive questioning and inspection when she comes back from visiting her grandchildren.

Today's tasks include reading the paper and sipping tea. Maybe one load of laundry. Theater tonight, and school tomorrow.

Dexter being calming seems a bit contradictory but I get it!

I am settled in DH's Cape House and 2 rooms have my furniture but it just doesn't feel like my place. And truthfully if it was mine there are a lot of tweaks that I would be working on that I can't because it isn't. But I will be comfortable there. The only thing I really want to change soon is figuring out some sort of bedside table on my side of the bed. The room is so small that with one bedside table on the other side, the door opens all the way to the side of the bed so it needs to be very narrow and fit behind that door when it is open. I tried using a thing that hangs from the frame to keep my book and glasses in but it is way too far down so my stuff misses it and ends up on the floor half the time when I try to put it there just before I fall asleep.

I am not athletic at all either. I never played sports in school and the most athletic things I have done are easy classes or doing my own thing. Nothing remotely like golf.
