Today is the 3rd and the holiday actually starts tomorrow on Friday the 4th.

Yes, but in my mind today was the 4th. I’m a little, probably a lot, off kilter.

Good morning, everyone! It's America's birthday, but here are some Independence Day pancakes for all whether you're in America or a friend from somewhere else on the planet. Dig in!

Good Morning, Kaila & Friends! Happy Fourth of July to all American Friends on here! Though we would celebrate with all our international friends too if given the chance. So enjoy our holiday today and stay safe if you are going out.

Pleased your doctor appointment went okay, @Kaila.

Hope you had a lovely day with granddaughter-in-law and baby @RadishRose.

Just a quick visit really as I've had a few 'off' days but I want to wish you all a Happy 4th July.

Going for a nap now.

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends.

Happy Independence Day!


It's going to be a usual summer day here at 84F/29C with no chance of rain. Not too bad, really. I'll take it.

@Kaila, glad you got through your appointment and shopping yesterday and will getting a well-deserved rest today.

@CallMeKate, those pancakes look delicious!

Hope everyone woke feeling hale and hearty, ready to seize this freaking day.

Hello all,
and thank you for that cuppa coffee today, without any confusing jokes too early in the daytime,
@Medusa


Kate's pancakes look scrumptious today, but probably all gone by the time she clicks on Post Reply.

@Pinky
I'm sure you will enjoy seeing your daughter and Abbi.

It's always nice to see a short note, @Pam
and we always hope for a better day for each and every one.

I didn't sleep well enough last night, but I got up out of bed, this morning anyway.
After the necessities, I determinedly went outdoors, for a short while, for the fresh change of scene, just hereabouts.

I Did a little deadheading to keep some flowers budding, and also a very short walk in the complex. I was able to bounce the therapy ball... and catch it, too.

Dh came outdoors and weeded a little bit too.
It did us both good, to get outside, without overdoing on anything.

The weather was perfect. Not too hot or too cool or too wet or too windy.....well, you get the drift.

 

[Kaila]

I needed to take 2 naps, today.

Well, only about 30 minutes each, but I needed them both.
I'm not energetic now either (it's early evening )

But at least I know i had gotten outdoors this morning.
And very glad I did.

Perhaps i should check in a mirror. I might be turning into a .

I had a nap today also. I think I slept for one hour . My husband and father in law slept for half an hour. They have just gone fishing.

Have a peaceful evening everyone.

Good Morning, Kaila & Friends! Hope you have a relaxing Saturday. Feels like Sunday to me but then again every day feels like Saturday to me now.

 

[CallMeKate]

Good morning, Kaila & Friends! Like @katlupe , it feels like a Sunday to me, too... not sure what tomorrow will feel like! No big plans for today, but I'll be finding plenty that needs to be done, I'm sure. How 'bout the rest of you? Anything interesting going on today?

 

[Medusa]

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends.

Usuals for me today.

Hope everyone woke feeling good this morning.

Hi everyone
A belated Happy Independence Day to you all!

Pam you mentioned that you felt a little down I hope you're not getting sick. How are you now?

Kaila I got tired of having salmon every week so the last two times I got fish I bought cod which I love. I love most all fish. I won't touch tilapia tho'.

It was great going out to lunch with Rachel my granddaughter in law and the baby; we went to a casual healthy food place which was fine I was able to get a real chicken salad sandwich and fries. It was hot but not crazy hot.

Today it's 78 degrees which is fine but tomorrow's going to be 95 I think.

I hope everyone has a beautiful day and I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts.

Parmesan Popovers with Crispy Sage Garlic Butter....you're welcome.

Morning everyone.

Kaila I hope you're feeling better today. Have a wonderful Saturday!

I agree... that it doesn't feel like Saturday;

But it doesn't feel like Sunday to me either.

And definitely not like Monday.

Or Tuesday.

Well, perhaps I'd better go back to trying to make it feel like Saturday.

That's a good idea, Kate.

Let's figure out what tomorrow will feel like, and then we'll know what today is.

I'm not sure how to do that, so please let us know, sometime today , what tomorrow will feel like, Kate!

It was your suggestion in the first place.

Good Morning, Kaila and Friends.

Hope everyone woke feeling good this morning.

Oh gosh, yes, please have those delivered!

I'm glad to hear about your outing yesterday. I was looking forward to your sharing with us about that.

I too like other fish that's white. They have a lot of haddock here. Which we sometimes get to change off from salmon.

I think i used to love the flounder when I went to high school, across the water from you. Is it called the long island sound?

But now, I find the salmon the easiest to chew or shred, so both of us can eat it.
And we never tire of it.

A woman from my old church brought me all sorts of food and drink. I protested because I didn't want to accept charity. She said its for the boys (my renters) so I said thank you. I can't turn down Ghiradelli chocolate.

He is, thank you for asking. You're so thoughtful It's much quicker to get him soaked (as opposed to filling and using the watering can) and he has fun biting at the spray.

Of course you can't! You're only doing what any sane person would.

I got extra sleep, overnight, thankfully!

However I still felt poorly this morning which was disappointing.

I struggled with the physical challenge of the very small and most necessary tasks as well as the steps involved in simple actions such as starting the coffee.

Finally I decided to go outdoors even though I could barely walk.
Whew. It was so pleasant outdoors. Warm but not hot and not humid, with a little summer breeze, moving the air.

I had taken the therapy ball which helps me in various ways, and I was even able to bounce and catch it........ while stepping forward.

It felt like an excellent p.t. type of accomplishment. Which lifted my spirits.

I am exhausted now but at least there's a good reason.

It seems like you are doing all the right things. Getting outdoors is wonderful. Resting when you need it is also important. Your progress is evident. Taking it slow seems to be working. It is nice to follow your successful journey.
