So jelly about your good workers. I'm working with a guy here in Missouri who thinks 4 hours 2 days a week is a full time job.

I wish I could hire a crew of Guatemalans who would come over every day after their day job, put in 3 hours for me, and get twice as much done in a week as this guy finishes in a month. Arrrggghhh!

I bet I know that comedian. There are a couple of that ilk on Twitter who are hilarious.

I just sent an question about the instability of OH via the Report Problem function. Should be interesting to hear what they say.

I made CC's Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup (recipe shared on Saturday). It was a huge hit for all 3 of us. Easy to make and so tasty! CC, any idea of the nutritional stats?

I find myself strategizing on how to get posts into OH. Much easier before 7 am. I write my long ones in notes and copy them. I copy comments before I press Submit. Is there someone to contact at OH to find out what the story is?

Today is busy - buy flowers for pots (and plant), bring donations to thrift shop, do miscellaneous fixes/rearranging in house, go to DH's house for cookout with family and friends in late afternoon, return early evening to meet DD and fiancé. Whew!

I need some downtime later this summer.

Have a windthrow Wednesday!

I think you will be down to goal before the max dose stops working. Good news on the architect!

Sounds like the Shark was almost beat again (I do remember that you have done so once in a while).

I know - the dinner planning is the last thing I want to think of these days. I'm okay keeping stuff in the house for breakfast and lunch, but I have to think hard about dinner. Hence lots of dinners out.

Nice job with the weight loss.

I suffered with hot flashes/night sweats for 20 years and in the early years they were really debilitating at night. I still will get very mild ones at night if I am too warm but not much. About 5 years in when they were wreaking havoc with my sleep my doctor told me that some women never got over them, but I had them in the years when they recommended no estrogen if there was a family history of heart disease. Thank goodness they are finally not an issue, but I definitely feel your pain.

Good for you doing the albums. I don't want to move my pictures either but they are going to end up in DH's basement.

The San Diego Zoo was fantastic. We arrived around 10:30 am, and stayed until 8:30pm. We visited some exhibits twice. The animal behaviors can be quite different in the morning/early afternoon and in the evening. Even with such a long day, we didn't see it all.

I'm having a lot of trouble with my eating on this vacation. I'm not sure why I can't find my rhythm. Protein has been very sketchy, so I tried to eat some chicken this evening. I ended up vomiting on the way to the car. Chicken just does not work for me. Lesson learned again. And again.

Tomorrow I think will be a a harbor cruise. In the evening we will meet up with our niece and her husband for dinner.
