Write that damn letter! Retirement is da bomb.
I still chuckle when I recall how worried I was 10 years ago thinking that retirement would be the end of "me" (the lifelong hard-working girl). Two years later when I retired I rapidly and happily realized that to every time there is a season.

What a lovely description of small-town Americana. Corn queens!
And on the corn front, we've had sweet corn on the cob the last two nights. It's incredibly delicious!

The discussion about kayaking and corn yesterday reminded me that I need both in my life. So little time this summer. The kayaks are still at my house so I just have to wheel them down to the pond. Need to plan that!
Last night we had a good meal at a restaurant we hadn't tried previously in Saratoga Springs. I ate half of an appetizer as my meal and DH ate half of his main meal because we both ate a lot of a delicious shared salad. We took the leftovers because we have a refrigerator and a microwave in our room but when are we going to eat them???
We will leave for the horse track in a couple of hours. We like to get there right at the opening so we can find decent parking and good hangout spot within the grounds. We don't get dressed up and sit in the fancy areas. We just bring our folding chairs and cooler and sit under the trees. It is easier to get up from there to watch the horses and riders walk to the track before each race (my favorite part), then we walk over to the side of the track to watch them run.
My next shipment of tirzepatide arrives today (wouldn't you know). SIL is going over to the house to put it in the refrigerator for me. I'm glad I got this shipment as it looks like there is a serious risk that the FDA is going to shut down allowing compounding of the meds at some point. When I read BB's comments on FB about the raging hunger coming back when she stopped I got scared. I looked up the expiration for the patents and for Zepbound it is in 2039! So unless Medicare requirements related to weight loss drugs changes or Lilly reduces the price I am going to lose access to the medication at a fair price.
Time to get cleaned up for the day. Have a winning Wednesday!

I guess that's the beauty of warmer climates and boats - the docks can stay out all the time. Probably the only risk to them in the south is hurricanes.

If you don't want to do it, don't!

You are doing great! I felt like the tiredness subsided after a while (unless I got used to it?). I had a lot of energy when we were getting the house ready to sell - at that point I had been on the tirzepatide for just over 2 months.

I haven't had any fresh corn this summer! Need to put that on the to-do list!

We bought 2 dozen the other week, cooked it then cut off the cob to freeze for the winter! Tastes summer good all year!

Greetings
Its full on sun here today which is nice except it might actually get to warm. Scrabble this morning. Won one, lost two including The Shark. The man is a walking dictionary plus one has to play very defensively and not leave any good options. Results in a really ugly board.
Yay Liz for Saratoga. My horse betting strategies are: pick the horse with the biggest ass, pick the horse with the cutest colors, or pick the horse that acts naughty during the parade around part at the start. Enjoy the trip but you might want to arrange some down time.
Ocean Diane, I thought to myself " who is this Debbie"? then realized what it was. Glad you are unscathed even if muddy. And congrats on closing the case. What a fabulous way to serve your community.
Corn DD! Sounds grand. or was it Paula going to the corn festival. A good time. Now I want corn. And yeah Paula, Mexican is the crave thing. There is a new mexican food truck here in town that I want to try. One burrito is about 4 meals for us.
Hey DD glad you captured the escaped kayak. Never thought about putting docks in and out but it makes sense.
I am heading for a nap. Scrabble day comes early for me plus I did a quick grocery trip on the way back. I got som halibut to fix for dinner since we do cow/chicken/cow/chicken way too much. There is halibut fishing here but I don't think this is local.
Congrats Peps on turning in the big letter. You are a short timer now! Hopefully you won't get abuse - smart to get your assignments first. Yay. DD you are next.
