Good morning 
I am in the final two weeks of a program. From here on out every workout begins with 25 burpees.
Boo. It's only 2 weeks. But today was a workout with gliding discs, my pull up bar and jump rope.
We haven't seen Callie in 11 days. This is the longest she's been gone. My husband has been getting up at 5 to see if she's waiting at the door for food. I hope she comes back soon, failing that, I hope she's somewhere else with another family who is looking after her, because I don't want to entertain the alternative. If nothing else, we made a lot of good memories with her and I have loads of photos of her. A couple of weeks ago, my husband took a video of Callie and me together, so I have these things to remember her JIC we never see her again. She can still come back, but it's so unusual for her to be gone so long. She knows food is a sure thing here and I think she comes back to make sure no other cats are using her stuff. She always sniffs at her things when she returns from one of her little excursions.

Wow, I can't believe they investigated YOU for a job for HIM. That's kind of ridiculous. It doesn't even really sound like an investigation, but an interrogation! Like you were suspected of committing murder!
Hope Callie comes back soon.
I didn't get out for a walk today. It was rainy and the kids just finished their exams and E is not feeling the greatest, so she wasn't up to going out anyway. But I've been getting exercise by biking to work, walking a lot on my days off, doing yard work, etc.

@HouCuseChickie, are you OK? They mentioned that millions of people in Texas are without power after storms and tornadoes. Hope you are not in the affected area!

It's so stupid, because my husband's job does not require any sort of security clearance.
Is E completely done with her exams for the year? I don't blame her for wanting to chill out for a bit.

I asked a week or so ago, too. I don't know if she's not posting because of the weather or because she's crazy busy with the girls' softball. K is a senior, so I don't know if she's been busy with prom and graduation? I hope she is busy with good stuff, not weather stuff.
Justice was served yesterday so perhaps your husband should be able to be employed post November if no changes ?

Happy Friday 
Yesterday's and today's workouts were very similar. I have one week left in this program. I am surprised I have stuck with it so long, I usually bail after 2 weeks.
Still no Callie.
My husband was talking about adopting a bonded pair of cats, but he also wants to wait a bit longer JIC Callie does come back. I need to see if I can handle cats with my allergies. I was thinking of going to a cat cafe after taking Zyrtec for a few days and seeing if I get any itchy eyes, runny nose, face rashes, etc. Also, Purina makes a cat food that reduces allergens. I do hope she comes back, though. She is such a gentle cutie.

Happy Saturday. 
I did a YouTube video this AM. I was going to do another workout, but I saw it had a bunch of handstands. I really don't like them. I am always afraid of falling and snapping my neck. It's not worth the risk to me.
When I went downstairs to workout, a little cat on her hind legs and front paws on the glass was waiting for me. I was so relieved to see her. I have seen so many foxes here lately, so I was worried she got in a tangle with one of them. But she came in, ate, and came over for pets. She is very thin and studded with ticks. Then she came up onto our balcony, ate again, walked down stairs and took a nap on her little bed in the kitchen. My husband and son were trying to cook breakfast and she kept giving them dirty looks because of the noise, so she left. Now she's just been relaxing on the deck. But she is back (for now) and safe.

Hello-
Checking in with yesterday's workout and today's workout. They've just been really brief, intense workouts.
I got a series of refunds from American for a trip an upcoming trip. My husband always upgrades to Main Cabin Extra because he is 6'4'' and it's gotten too uncomfortable for him to sit in a regular seat. It's almost 5 hours to Phoenix. I also noticed our flight time changed. I was worried they refunded me because there were no more extra leg room seats on the new flight. We still had the same seats, but I was wondering why I got these refunds. I called them and the agent said they refunded the upgrades because they changed our flights. She assured me that we still had the extra legroom. So, it was like a free upgrade. I am still suspicious though. I just don't trust these airlines, anymore.
Nothing much going on here, just enjoying the summer. My husband is up north, so I've been having my mini "Golden Girls" marathons at night.

Hello-
I did a workout today with a Bosu and a kettlebell. It was very sweaty, but I felt really good afterwards.
I decided to walk to my hair appointment today. Big mistake. Even though it was in the low 70s when I went out this AM, it was so muggy. I was so sweaty for my appointment and even my hair was sweaty at the roots. I was very embarrassed. lol
My husband is going to Europe for work on Saturday, so I am looking for recipes that are easy to cook, with many servings, because I want to cook as little as possible next week.

Good luck with your weekend recipe search, but maybe you could also order in a tasty dinner from some local restaurant, for a treat?

Oh, yeah, there is going to be some delivery orders next week, for sure.
I used to really enjoy cooking, but since the pandemic, I really dislike it and I have no idea why, either.

Good morning
I did a 15 minute workout with weights and gliding discs, it was pretty sweaty. lol
Callie came back after 2 weeks away last Saturday. She has been here since then, but she wasn't here when I woke up yesterday. She did come back around dinner time. She is not well and this is the worst I have seen her. She is not eating and drinking. She is dry heaving. I have been letting her come in to get some AC. She just sits there with her eyes closed and I think she is in pain. I don't know what to do. The vets here won't see feral cats, unless it's for euthanasia. There are clinics for feral cats, but it's only for trap, neuter and return. She was in her house this AM, which is unusual because she never goes in there in the summer. It's insulated for cold weather. I was worried, so I opened the patio door. She did come out and I felt badly for waking her up. She just sat there, she eventually came inside. She didn't eat the treats I put down for her or her breakfast. She just sat there. I tried to get close to her to see if I could see what was wrong with her. I don't know if it was the light I was in, but it seemed like her left pupil might be blown out. I can't tell. Again, It might be the light I was in. It just worries me with the dry heaving and not eating and drinking, maybe it's a head injury. I don't know. My husband is leaving tomorrow, so I am worried about having to get her put down or something while he's gone. I don't have a trap. I hope she is just sick from eating something off and she can shake it off.

Sorry...I haven't been logged in for a while. Things have been quite crazy. The weather here has certainly been awful.
While we managed to avoid flood damage from the early May storms, we had some pretty serious damage from the storm on May 16th. A massive limb fell from our neighbor's oaks (the limb was the size of a full-grown tree). It totaled David's truck, caused a little over $7000 of damage to my vehicle, and damaged the garage (estimate $2000). We had several nasty storms after it that may have caused some additional damage on the house. The guy who we plan to hire for the garage thought it might be our A/C, but there's a water stain on the ceiling right near where there's some fascia board damage and it only seems to get worse with rain.
I'll try to share some pics in a little bit. I'll be honest...it's just been a lot for me. I think I've got some PTSD from it. Just before the limb came down, we were watching the weather on the news and someone asked, "Is that the wind?" I said, "I think so," then I heard sort of sizzling sound, a loud crack, and then a huge bang. I was facing the area where it came down, so I saw it. It was in the gust front on the leading edge of the storm, so it happened before it even started raining. I got the insurance claim in on our vehicles before the power went out. We were only without for about 20 hours, but there were people just a few blocks away that were out for nearly 5 days. Kendall and I were standing in that part of the driveway something like 5-7 minutes before it happened. We had just gotten home from CVS and were trying to get in an errand before the weather moved in. Considering it sent thick branches through the truck and garage like missiles...I consider us really lucky.
We ended up pulling my vehicle out from under the tree since it didn't get it as bad. It had hood, roof and windshield damage, but it looked more like it had been in a hailstorm and the windshield cracks were all over the passenger side. So, that was our main transportation for a bit. We didn't see how bad David's truck was until the tree company came by the next morning and took away the big limb. I guess at least they saved the fence and didn't cause any extra damage to the garage. We had David's truck towed to a collision center and found out by Wednesday the following week (took a while to get an insurance adjustor) that it was totaled. It took about another week for everything to be worked out with his claim check. We got him into a new truck last Friday. To add insult to injury...the check engine light came on, but that should be handled by next week. We got him a new toll road tag on Tuesday this week and now have my vehicle in to the collision center. It's supposed to take several weeks. There's a chance we may be able to get started on the garage/roof issues next week as well. At least things are tarped for now.
On a positive note...Kendall graduated a couple of weeks ago

Sad to hear about the awful storm damage. I'm hoping things will be looking up for you and the family very soon. At least Kendall graduated a couple of weeks ago, and that's happy news.Sorry...I haven't been logged in for a while. Things have been quite crazy. The weather here has certainly been awful.

In case anyone is interested these are some of the pictures. Obviously...it could have been worse. It could have been a full sized tree going through the house. It could have totaled both of our vehicles. It could have been a few minutes earlier when K and I were in the driveway. We could have been without power for days. So, still trying to count our blessings but this all comes with a lot of costs and headaches. Oh...and that chunky branch in David's windshield, it penetrated the cabin. It was literally coming out an air conditioning vent and the dashboard. We didn't even see the hole in the garage roof until they removed the tree. It was like a wooden missile plugging up the spot.

Thank you! It's been pretty miserable. It could have been so much worse, but this is not fun. We feel like Mother Nature has been picking on us and now it's hurricane season. Praying for zero drama (well, the bad kind) for quite a while.

On a positive note, this is the graduation montage video I put together. We were not allowed camera gear (or flowers, or stuffed animals, etc.), so this was the best thing I could do.

I like their green graduation caps and gowns. (Think I've only seen black or white ones before, but I haven't been to any graduations in quite a few years though.)
