Good morning!

Joe, hope you have a nice ordinary Saturday.

I mean to say Happy Nurses Week! I missed any festivities at work. I think "Hospital Week" is next week.

I slept late and still feel a bit washed out from that drive yesterday. One of the popular consignment thrift stores that's only open once a month is having a pop up today and I might go. I've never been but it's where best friend bought a lot of used furniture and odds and ends to furnish his post-hurricane condo. I'm looking for stuff that I might use in the now-empty room I just remodeled. I mostly need books shelfs and will make a reading room out of it. It's on odd room because it's long. The color scheme is modern and finishing cheap stuff might be a challenge. It's not a room I use much so don't want to spend anymore money as the reno was expensive. I mainly remodeled because it was in bad shape with some water damage at the doors and the cheap floors came up, and this makes it more marketable when I go to sell it down the road.

Anyway, I need to get back to the gym today and re-commit myself to that and a good diet. I had a really bad, mostly fast food and restaurant food diet this past week but I had a good day GI wise yesterday for the first time in a while. Go figure. Most likely today when I add in more healthy foods my GI system will object. LOL

My two main goals this week are to mow the yard, which because of the drought isn't that bad and paint an area in the back of the house where I had my contractor remove some lights that the hurricane messed up and they've been just hanging there.

Have a great day!
