The G'Kid and I are working on our fall trip plans...stopping in Tennessee for a day/night before heading onto Biltmore. We're looking at a couple of 'tourist' attractions in Pigeon Forge and maybe a little shopping.

** Looking forward to this week **

Finishing up #streakingwiththeCOOLKIDS - what a great challenge! Though most days I've only done the required mile, I've at least kept it up. And since I have so many in-person race events coming up I'll be putting a plan together for further walk/run training. 

** From the camera **

Gal Pal Margaret went on a weekend trip, so I helped with my 'buddy' Chester. He was a Good Boy and earned his treats by Sit & Shake command.

** Reflection(s) **

If you want to Succeed in life,

Roll up your sleeves and Do the job in front of you.

Hazy, Lazy Sunday...

 

Not a rest day, but low key for sure....the Mr made a declaration this morning about making his move to my church sooner. He has a board meeting Thursday evening and said he'll be informing/announcing his intentions then. We'll see.

Wordless Wednesday

 

Still Streaking + Artsy sidewalk + Final Vet Follow-up

 

Day 18 in the books for #streakingwiththeCOOLKIDS challenge.

 Chalk Art

Took my PurrBoy JinX for another follow-up appointment of his eye. Vet says it's much better Thank Goodness. He will have a 'white' scar spot on his eye, but it doesn't affect his vision Thank God. We will finish out what antibiotics I have and go from there.  

Happy Homemaker Monday 6-17-24

 

Better late than never. I have so much to get caught up on but first I want to get this HHM post done.

Linking up with Sandra for Happy Homemaker Monday....I've missed all of you! Let's get to the categories.

** The Weather **

As you can see it's going to be ridiculously hot this week...I struggled a bit when I did my streak miles today. 

** As I look outside my window **

It's 5pm & currently 92° 

 ** Right now I am **

Finally sitting down to work on this post.

.

** OOTD **

Started the day in Bolder Athletic skirt, Runner Mom tank, Brooks running shoes,

then after showering I changed into regular tank top and jean shorts.

** Thinking and pondering [how I'm feeling] **

All things considered feeling ok. I have so much to get caught up on after last week's Heritage Hospice Blue Jean Ball which BTW was really nice! I hope to get a couple of 'catch-up' posts done that I've missed doing.🤞

The bend in the road isn't the end of the road unless you miss the curve.

 

I'm going to try and work on daily posts and at the very least a few catch-up posts...my Highest priority will be the daily posts.

Give me some Grace I'll be back.....

 

Not enough time or hours this week....

I just don't have the extra spare time this week.

Give me some Grace,

I'll be back to blogging as soon as I can...

1540 people saw me??? #WOWZERS

Found a Penny on my morning #streakingwiththeCOOLKIDS mile[s]....Needing a LOT more 💰to go towards these purchases,

Did I go overboard?? Maybe. BUT I consider them an investment, and there's a different shoe for every day of the week.

Vroom, Vroom for 2 miles 🤣, not really but Day 4 is complete!

Shady Lawn Stripes in Front...

Sunny Bright Lawn Stripes in Back....Man it got hot quick!!

Inside to shower and get ready for my Ky Human Rights zoom meeting.

Happy Homemaker Monday 6-3-24

 

It's JUNE!!

Time flies when your [ fill in the blank ]. 

I've been kinda in a bit of funk the last couple of days. We had the funeral for my friend's husband Saturday afternoon and now it's a reality he's no longer with us. His Dementia/Alzheimer's over the past year has taken a toll on her.  We've already been on the phone this morning making short/long term plans to get her out of the house, maybe volunteering more, and start to enjoy life again.

On a happier note, let's link up with Sandra for Happy Homemaker Monday.
