Life is good!

Typical start to my day.  After breakfast I started working.  Laundry started, bed stripped, did the dishes.  If you recall Sonsearae dropped her car off at the Honda dealership for diagnostic and repair.  Friday we drove her there to pick it up.  We left around 1100 and though there wasn't any sun there wasn't any rain either!  Once she got the paperwork done she was on her way to work and we headed out for lunch.

We stopped in at Tijuana Flats, restaurant we've been to several times.  I guess you could call it fast food.  You order at the counter from a set menu and they bring it to your table. They do serve draft beer!  I always get the Noritto bowl. Have you ever had a burrito?  Rice, beans, guacamole, lettuce, pico de gallo, cheese and a sour cream drizzle without the wrap!  Any way I like it because I can get it without meat.  Jim also ordered one.  It's a lot of food and we both brought some home, about a third of it.

Next stop was Best Buy where I was going to save a stamp and pay on our account.  Well after a short wait at the customer service counter I was told maybe I could pay at the checkout register. Since both lines were busy and that would mean more waiting I left.  I'll just mail it off and contribute to Sonsearae's retirement fund.  She works for the Post Office!

Still hadn't rained, but taking no chances, we headed to the Treasure Coast Mall to do a wee bit of walking.  My goodness that place was crowded for a Friday.  Jim managed two loops to my one.  He likes to walk fast to get his heartbeat up.  I can no longer keep up that pace because of my hip.  It's funny, when we decided to hit the road I thought it would be wonderful to go on hikes and see nature.  But Jim had trouble with his feet so that was out.  Now it's my hip that slows us down.  He still has a foot problem but he does therapy for it and it helps him walk further.

We had one more stop at Walgreen's to pick up some benedryl for Boo.  I use the children's and we use it to help us all sleep.  He's had it the last two nights and no excessive scratching I'm happy to report.  The hot spot had I nice scab on it yesterday and I applied some topical medicine last evening.  

Back home Jim napped while I continued to work. Folded clothes and continued washing and drying sheets.  I did check my eyelids for light leaks for about 45 minutes after reading a magazine.  Beer at lunch just makes you want to snooze the afternoon away.

Car shows, Star Trek for TV viewing.  We finished our bowls for dinner.

All is right in our world

Fun Afternoon

Yesterday started out sunny and bright.  We had a leisurely morning that included chores and breakfast.  Around 1100 we departed for the Honda service department.  Sonsearae needed to drop her car off for some diagnostic and repairs.

Our next stop was lunch at Spoto's Oyster Bar in Stuart.  Do you sign up for loyalty cards at restaurants?  I do, mostly for the freebies!  Since my birthday is just a few days off the offers have been rolling in, most give you an appetizer or dessert.  Spoto's gave me a free lunch or dinner option.  This restaurant overlooks the St Lucie River so it's ideal for lunch.  Sonsearae ordered fish and chips, I had shrimp scampi and Jim ordered a hamburger.  I had a delicious bloody Mary while Jim had a beer and Sonsearae drank water.  My scampi was delicious and I brought home some of the pasta.

Three of the employees brought out my slice of birthday cake and sang for me.  Then the waitress took our picture!  My first thought was they have a board somewhere where they'll post it but before we left they presented me with said picture to remember the moment.

It had been our intention to walk the boardwalk but when we went outside it was spitting rain.  So once again we didn't get to walk and we all could have used the exercise to help work off lunch.  Next we dropped Sonsearae off for her hair appointment.  While she was being dolled up Jim and I went to Barnes and Nobles.  He found some magazines to read and I strolled around trying my best to find something to buy.  Happy to say nothing appealed to me.  While inside it rained.  I was reading my book when Sonsearae let me know she was ready to be picked up.

Our next stop was the Humane Society Thrift Store.  We dropped off a large box of goodies then went inside so our pretty red head could play with the kittens.  Again I strolled around this store but didn't find anything I couldn't live without.

After this we headed to Publix to take advantage of a sale and while driving there we encountered our first rain storm.  It was pretty much over when we got to the store.  Jim dropped us off at the door (I think so he could get more steps than us!).  

Shopping done here and the cooler loaded up with the frozen food we headed over to Target.  We wanted to see if they had the vegan ice cream from Amy's.  They did not.  Sonsearae found a couple items and while she was checking out Jim and I stopped in Starbucks and got some beverages to take on our drive home.

On the drive home more rain!  We had to take our purchases in through some sprinkles but none of us melted so all was OK.

Boo was glad to see us, it was past his dinner time and almost dark.  Only a bit after 1700 but with the cloud cover it seemed later.

I finished off my pasta for dinner and Jim had some apple pie.  Spent the evening watching TV
