Good morning!

Hope you have a good day Joe.

J22, it does seem like you spend a lot of time with this gardening club.  Do you garden much at home this time of year?  Of course here in Florida people can garden all year long.  I might try and learn some when I retire.

Ado, you deserve a do-nothing day.

As I expected the time change threw me off.  After feeding Waffles at 6AM (which my body thought was 5AM), I took my meds and went to sleep again and didn't wake up in time to go to yoga at 9:00.  This time change seems to throw me off more than the other.

It's the height of our "season" and apparently the beaches are crowded this weekend with Spring breakers and other tourists, snowbirds and locals so I'll pass on my plans to go as parking is hard to come by.  We are not a big Spring break destination like other spots in Florida but we do get some.  Will stay in and watch a movie instead and maybe go to the beach during the week.  Those at the beach will enjoy some very nice warm weather.

Since I've been sick I've been monitoring my weight loss almost daily and I gained three pounds since yesterday.  LOL.  Now I'm hoping the steroids don't make me gain weight.  My weight has been stable the last month after steady losing weight without trying.  

Yep, it is Sunday and the only clock not reset is in the kitchen. I am going up to set it to the correct time and then I am going to MAKE myself start in making the beef stew. <RIGHT NOW.> I REALLY MEAN IT!! ?

The sun out but the wind keeps it from feeling warm. I have the luxury of ignoring the clock most of the time, and that is fine with me. For much of my hospital career it seemed liked time was always the driving factor, and I am glad I am out of that. I go out in a bit to do some clean up. Because we don't get much snow, there is something to do in the garden year round. This time of the year is mostly cleaning up debris from the trees, and pruning before the leaves emerge. dd asked for help to build some garden beds, but I don't know when and dh is hinting that he needs to do a zoom meeting this afternoon for the gardening ED team. I finally told him I think he needs to set some boundaries and take a day off from it. I don't know if he heard me or not. 

Oh lawsie! The squirrels have ganged up and are TORTURING poor little Tinker by going back and forth outside the back door. I can't let her out, because they would lead her into the great beyond. She already tries to climb trees after them. She has such a shrill bark, and in between the shrieking, she growls fiercely. The squirrels are NOT impressed and seem to know she is no threat to them. Maybe all the barking and growling will wear her out and she'll sleep. Of not....
