So far walking the dog.


Its cool outside & he wants out again.

I hope to bake some cookies,,not happy with 'store bought' cookies.
Tidy up the house & try to stay cool ,,if it gets into the 80 - 90s again.

We like Summer ,,just not temps above 75*.

Hubby has more dental work today,,hope his mouth isn't as sore as its been.
 

As of midnight Carl (my 15-year-old puppy) and I have been up with all the thunderstorms... He gets so upset... and it's just something new... But a quick fix for that if anyone is interested, on your google or Alexa, you can ask them to play relaxing puppy music... When we turn that on for Carl, he usually settles right down from any type of anxiety and falls asleep... Sure wish I was aware of it before Lennie, Carl's littermate passed away...

Other than that, gotta get my ... in gear and go get some blood tests done for tomorrow's appointments, which I think I am already late for, but will still give it a try... Or they can get it after I've been...

For the rest of the day, I am not sure, may come home and try and get my workshop in order... Funny when I smoke, it was in pretty good shape, but haven't had a smoke now for 33 days...

Anyhow... I hope YOU all have the most wonderful Thursday you've had for quite some time now...

Cheers~
 
The birdies woke me up at 5,went back to sleep until 6
It was quite warm when I went on early walk already 80 with a breeze{thank God} I walked 2 times around our apt complex after I watered the plants in our community garden
I don't have any plans,I'm sure I can find something to do. If its not too humid, I may take mid morning walk,rain supposedly coming this afternoon

About the cookies...I feel like you now.
Cannot buy a decent pack of good thick munchie cookies anymore in the grocery stores
They are all so thin and usually cracked or broken when opened.
Fortunately I have a couple of good bake shops near me who do make good cookies but my they are expensive.
I also have nice neighbour who makes the best chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies ever and she treats me now and again.🤪
 
@ Mizmo , I use a confectioner sugar cookie recipe from an old Betty Crocker's cookie book.
I micro wave some pecans,, chop them & add to recipe.

The nice part is cookie dough should be refrigerated couple hours or over night.
Roll the dough up in 2 separate rolls.

Rather than make cookie cutter cookies,, I slice them off the roll & bake them.

I end up with a tin full of cookies that usually last a few weeks.

Explaining 'tin' from above,, Christmas ice cream container, repurposed.
 
Guess I will save my cookie baking till tomorrow. Just too darn hot to turn the oven on.

If anyone knows a recipe for no bake cookies for a day like today????

In the meantime I will do a job I have been putting off.....cleaning a closet that is an absolute jumble. I might find something I need in there.

Only glitch so far on this trip was extended layover time going to Colorado Spgs. People have been patient and respectful. Makes for a pleasant experience

In the UK.. glitches are still happening.. and even in Spain. Talking to a friend today she said she was told to get to the airport 3 hours early... and the plane was 2 hours late taking off.. so that was 5 hour airport time, plus 2.5 hours flying time.. then and hour and a half baggage time in Malaga ,, so basically all day travel for a 2.5 hour flight...

On the return journey again they were told to get to Malaga 3 hours early.. they were given their gate number and they stood at the gate.. and then just by sheer chance discovered it had changed from 32 to 17.. a long walk.. in their case run... panicked in case the gate closed, only to find when they got there it had changed again to 32... and they had to dash back...

This is why I can't fly at the moment..I can't be stressed like that

That's beyond crazy. I've been trying to learn about any glitches between US and Canada because I've got a Toronto visit scheduled fairly soon.

I learned from my sister that Toronto's Covid numbers are way down - as are Los Angeles'. That's a great relief because my BIL has serious health issues and I wouldn't want to risk bringing this virus to him.
 
Still too hot to breathe here. Air you can wear. Temp is 98, but with the humidity, the "feels like" temp is 109. It's supposed to "cool down" on Sunday with a high temp of a mere 90.

I've complained long and loud about how cold it is working in the bakery. It is. But it feels darned good. When I leave and walk outside, the heat hits me in the face and about knocks me over. Feast or famine.

Thinking about asking to work full time...40 hrs/week because the work just doesn't get done. Right now I work five six-hour days. Five eight-hour days? What the heck, it's not like there's anything else to do anyway.

93 here today and with high humidity, gonna be hotter tomorrow... bet you would hate it here even more.. no AC😓
 
As it is morning for me in my crazy sleep schedule I am just getting started. Showered, dressed, went to the store for asparagus, squash and a couple of ears of corn. Got birthday cards for a couple of family. Last stop, the drugstore again, using up free money rewards. Feel like I need another shower!
 
@hollydolly Again your hair looks pretty and really healthy.

A walk to the store for milk and made it home just before a wild storm. Another short walk this evening to check out how high the creek is. There’s still snow melt to come down and more rain to hasten it. We had floods a few years ago so they beefed up some of the river and creek banks so it shouldn’t be as bad as then, even so some areas are flooding.
