Good luck, Stacie, I'm thinking good thoughts for you, I hope you feel better soon.

I'm on my way out to clean the pool, Makayla is spending the night with me tomorrow and I KNOW she'll want to bake something. We'll probably have waffles for breakfast on Sunday and I don't have one darned other thing planned, just a weekend with The Princess. Some movies, a trip to the playground, some time in the pool, some baking.

I don't usually post here, but always read this thread. Just wanted to say, take care of yourself Stacie, and hope you feel better soon.

Annie your weekend sounds fun, and I know you will have a great time!

Funny how the last couple of Friday's, there hasn't been too much posting on this thread. I guess the heat and summer has everyone pre-occupied.

Nothing much happening here this weekend. It is supposed to be cool for a few days, so I want to get some bread baked, some muffins baked, and another of Ann's raspberry tarts made,(made one last weekend for company and they were fighting over the leftovers the next day. Has anyone used blueberries to make it?). Would also like to make a few batches of ice cream (as the heat wave is supposed to come back next week). Then I would like to get some painting done, as it has been months since I have.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I wondered the same thing about blueberries. Has anyone tried it with Ann's raspberry tart recipe? Not that it doesn't look fabulous with raspberry's but I have an almost 3 year old who LOVES blueberries. I don't personally like sweets, but my DH and daughter do, so they are my inspiration :) Christy

Hope you feel better soon Stacy.

For the first time in a month I'm aware that it is Friday... well very early Sat morning now. My lay-off has come to an end for now and I go back to work on Monday. I didn't know how bad I needed an extended break. I'm alive and living again!

A rather strange day. New bartender and I struck up a friendship. Alas she is less then half my age so it will be just friends. She had guessed I was "not older then 33" which puts her off by 11 years. Still it was so good for my ego to have an interested gal being friendly.

Just took a walk down my drive as Dolly had been barking at something. Nothing out there to be found but it is one beautiful night out there. Out here in the Thumb we don't get much light pollution so the stars are very clear. The Milky Way makes a neat white stripe across the sky. Some lightning flashing out over Saginaw Bay which is 30 miles north of me. Probably rain by morning but clear and cool right now. Not in the mood for alcohol or I'd take a bottle and go have a sit in the moonlight.

My outdoor cat Tippy got into a bad fight and came home all bloody. Thought he might lose an eye this morning. Patched him up and put some boric acid eye drops on his wounded eye. Must have felt good because he didn't seem to mind my putting stuff in his eye. Happy to report the swelling is way down and he looks better tonight.

Going to buy a storm door in the morning. Only one in stock a couple weeks ago and I need to get another. The garage didn't really need one but both doors are on the front of the house and it looks funny to only have one storm door. Dad said I should close off the porch but I don't know if I have that much energy. Grew potted tomatoes and peppers instead of flowers the last couple years and don't know if I want to lose the porch space now.

So it goes. I need to take some cyclobenzaprine so I can get back to sleep. Doc gave it to me for my back problems but it makes a pretty decent sleeping pill. Way better then ambien but not as good as some opioids. I'll feel buzzed all day tomorrow from it so I only take it when sleeping is otherwise impossible.
