The stuffed peppers sound great.

I've caught up reading and nodding my head, but my brain to finger capability seems diminished today so I am going to read more and type less. Tired! 5K this morning was fun, but the humidity was 90%! It was only 75F, but the air was thick. So I napped when I got home.

I spent an hour or so weeding, sat down for a minute to rest, and now I am catted.

This is why I don't plan to run outdoors when I'm in Florida. Ew. It was 45 yesterday for our long run.

Indeed, meara. When you are here leisurely strolls along the windy beach is as much hoofing as you can expect to do, outside.

Wow! That's more wading than running. That would be exhausting.

Since my last post I vacuumed the furniture, swiffered the floors, cleaned the litter box, washed the bedroom windows, sprayed cleanser all over the bathroom (still need to wipe it down), and did dishes while my food was in the oven. When I'm done eating I will wipe down the bathroom then call my mom. I think that will have earned me another Sens8 ep or two.

I hung one of those temporary screen doors in my balcony doorway (split mesh screen on a spring loaded bar that you hang between the door jambs) so I can have the door open for air and keep the bugs out. Of course, it's going to be cold and rainy and snow in the mountains this week, but it's ready for summer to start in a few weeks.

That's a well-earned nap, Laura! And well earned TV, aurelia!

Yay bug screen!

Not quite finished weeding. Gotta make hay while the sun shines.

So last night I made a rare batch, for may, of cookies, as it was cool & I knew today was the last shift of Kyla, as she's finishing her freshman year and going home for the summer & isn't sure if she'll return to the y in the fall. She'd lamented no more cookies.

Anyway, I get there tonight & she's not there! She'd last minute swapped shifts to attend a Mother's Day cookout with her aunt. But I gave the cookies to Thomas, a young, goofy guard (who always gives me a huge wave every time I arrive )& told him to enjoy.

While I was swimming, Thomas, unprompted, texted her to tell her I'd made cookies wth her in mind & to come get them. And she did! She made sure he'd taken some and told me if she comes back in the fall, it'll be the cookies that decide it :) I adore both those kidsyoung adults today for the sweetness they demonstrated.

Aw, that's lovely.

Mulched beds are pretty much weeded, lawn is 1/2-2/3 mowed (mown? Cut), yard waste bin is full. Need to take out the garbage and recycling and put all the bins on the street but I am tired.

And I have my intro session at the gym down the street tomorrow at 6:15 pm and dance class at 7, so doing anything after work is pretty unlikely. Oh well.

We met with the realtors and our house sold for over 700k!!!!1!!!! We're both flabbergasted. It's a nice house, but it only has one bathroom. J is off to Michigan on Thursday to look at houses and probably put down an offer.

Today we took our Labradoodle to his third go-round of obedience school. He has twice gone to AKC training which relies on verbal praise and use of a choke chain (It doesn't hurt--it's designed to startle the dog so he stops the behavior). Our guy is choke chain be damned when he sees a squirrel or the dogs down the street who are His Sworn Enemies For Life and he lunges for them. He is over 100lbs and can pull me off my feet, so J has to do almost all the walking.

We are now trying to train him using only reinforcement. He will now get all his food from our hands and has to work for it (like sitting, or looking in our face when we ask). Wish us luck.
