I used to say the same thing. Once you set your mind to it and are determined to do so for you and your health, it becomes somewhat easier, but if it was real easy, everybody would be slim and trim.

Grilled some chicken this evening. My wife made some coleslaw and roasted sweet potato fries to go with it.

Here is what a $450 squirrel looks like.
It ate a hole at the very tip top eve and there are two or three living in there.
Got several quotes to remove it and fix the hole.
One said $600 without even coming out to look.
Another did not show up.
The one who is supposed to trap the squirrels and fix the hole at least came out and looked it over.
$450 to trap and remove the animals and repair the hole. It is way too high for me to try it, and
Besides, I don’t have any traps.
Told him I did not want to kill them and he said they have to be removed and he could take them
a minimum of seven miles away (why seven miles, I don't know) and let them loose in a state forest.
Not sure if that is what he will actually do but it eases my mind a little bit over just exterminating them.

The white azaleas are at peak and just starting to fade.

OK, enough rambling from me.

EEK! The seven miles is probably because of natural homing abilities. I know mice can find their way back within a few miles, so if you catch mice, you have to take them at least 5 miles away or they will just come back. I'm guessing squirrels must have the same sort of thing.
What he said and welcome to our little family.
Good morning! So far today I've got my steps in, yogurt is in the IP, I have chopped the salad for today, have leftover veggie curry for dinner and am sipping on spice ginger, turmeric tea. I'm so going to crash on my socially distanced deck later listening to Disney sound tracks!

Animals can create some pretty pricey repairs. I feel your pain on that one! We thought we had squirrels in our attic last fall. It was baby squirrel season and a lot of people in our town reported scenes like you pictured. I had all of these ideas of our pest guy rescuing all of these squirrels...but ours turned out to be roof rats.
I forget how far he said they have to take animals so they don't come back, but we weren't playing that game with rats. Nope. Ultimately, he just sealed off every point that he could see that might be vulnerable and left traps and poison in our attic, since there was no sign of them inside the house when he did his work.

So, I was pretty good with the working out this weekend. On Saturday, I was up on the earlier side (as far as weekend time goes) and decided I really wanted to get out for a run. Nothing too major in the distance...about 3.5 miles. Unfortunately, I encountered some teen idiots about halfway through that ruined it for me. If those idiot spring breakers interviewed by the media could be runners...these were them. In their approach, I saw them run up on an older gentleman and his dog...nearly mowing him down. When they approached me, they were running 3 abreast and refused to yield in any way. I had already jumped off the trail, but absolutely no attempt to distance. I yelled at them, and they mocked me, essentially calling all of it funny. It basically ruined the pacing of the rest of my run and made my mood swings during these times a lot worse. Beyond that, I hit the gym afterwards...biked almost 10 miles, did some arms legs and abs and felt like I was pretty good on physical activity for the day. Yesterday, I was still too bothered about the run, so I got up and walked a little over 5 miles along the roads and just enjoyed one of my playlists.
Rather than hit the gym after my walk. I got the kids out and I did a lot of bending and squatting while we chalked the driveway. It wasn't as much as doing the flower beds, but I do still feel it a bit in the backs of my legs.
The base of the driveway was supposed to be a rainbow, since I'm in one of those groups that's trying to share rainbows to spread hope right now. It's rainbowesque, but evolved into something more. I added the teddy bear, since lots of people are doing teddy bear hunts and zoos for families to look at while out for their walks. That prompted my husband to put plushies in our front windows. He took more of a Disney route and wanted it to be more of a hunt...like which of these plushies is a bear. So, we have one of our Duffy bears, Stitch, Goofy and Pooh up in the front windows. Maybe I'll get around to pictures. LOL
Oh yea, and of course I had to add in some mouse ears and a virtual MK fireworks finale

Love the artwork. Very creative.
And, some people are simply going to be inconsiderate idiots no matter the situation. Hard to understand that kind of thinking.
I hope you carry pepper spray or something with you during your runs.

I have a pepper gel spray and a small stun gun. I 'should' be carrying them all the time, but I don't. I have them for aggressive dogs, but I'm always afraid I'm going to end up hurting me if I have to use them in a panic.

I am a sushi chef, but even with health meals. . . I have to fight my craving for sweets. So. Hard.

Man, sushi sounds REALLY good right now! I used to be good with sweets cravings, but lately, not so much. I think me giving up other things in my diet has made me more prone to sugar cravings.

I'm not a sushi fan. I'd have to live on sweets if it was a choice between sushi and sweets. Or I'd just starve.

You could always have sushi candy!
I thought one of the Disney restaurants offered some kind of sushi dessert using gummis, but this is all I'm finding...
