Good morning... Wow - here we are into a new month already...Is this year going fast or am I just going slow? It doesn't seem like it should be July already.
There hasn't been a lot going on in my world this past week. We worked on a landscaping project that I've wanted to get done...It involved digging out some plants, hauling river rock and spreading it out over a large area, moving stepping stones and resetting them, etc. It was quite a job, but I think the hardest part was getting started. It's one I've been wanting to get done for quite some time but every time I mentioned it, my husband had a thousand other things he thought were more important to do... you know how those things go. I finally just started it on my own and he came to help...
Anyway, it was pretty hard work to be doing in our Florida heat (well into the 90's) and we had to pace ourselves, but it's pretty much done, though I think we're going to need one more small load of rocks - did you know that 1" river rocks are heavy?? LOL One project begets another so as long as we were at it, we put a load of lime rock in the driveway, so that's a job well done, also. :-)
Anyway, once that was done, it was time to "play" a little so we went for a drive around our fair state. One day we ended up at a place called Weeki Wachee Springs - anyone ever heard of the mermaid shows they have there? We'd actually thought those had been shut down, but nope, they're still going strong. Of course, it did get shut down that day because, of course, they take place in the water and a thunderstorm rumbled through, so it had to be shut down for safety reasons. I guess we could have stayed for the next show to see the rest of it, but we had a 2-hr drive home, so we left.
Last week, I was fighting bloat and swelling and that hasn't changed... all the riding we did didn't help that, either as sitting in one place isn't good... I'm still having trouble with swelling in my feet and ankles. I'm not sure what that's all about but because of it, my weight has stayed in the same neighborhood it was in last week. I'm actually up 0.4 lbs from last week but by the time we get into the day, I might be down a few tenths or I could be up by a couple pounds, depending on whether I can eliminate some swelling or I take on more...
So - that's me - what's your story? I think the whole country (or most of it) has been socked in heat...
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful week~~
