Good morning. The countdown is sure looking mighty good Crown, with the 100 days to the start of the season coming; yes, so exciting. It's a raining day and it appears that this could be like this for the rest of the day. I'm just relaxing here, working on my second cup of coffee, thinking about what I'm going to do today. The first thing I'm going to do is repair an homemade electrical malfunction that the previous homeowner did. Sheesh, I had a GFI that wouldn't work, so I started to slowly investigate the problem and I discovered it this morning. the electric wiring was installed wrong. I'll fix it and it will be as good as new.

I had an episode last night that scared my wife, I never told her that in the past, I have had a couple of times to where I have flat out, passed out; like boom, hitting the floor full force passing out. I just didn't think about it because it's been a long while (years) since that has happened to me. We went out shopping all afternoon and into the evening, and I had hardly ate or drank anything all day, except for a bowl of cereal first thing in the morning. It got to be around 6pm and we were at Bed, Bath and Beyond and all of a sudden I started to not feel good (feeling light headed, weak, sweaty, my legs got shaky and I had an overall sick feeling. I recognized the symptoms right away and as we were checking out, I grabbed 2 of the largest candy bars and sat down on a nearby bench and inhaled them. Jill was getting concerned because, that is not something I usually do. after about 10-20 minutes later, I stated to feel better. Oh, trust me, it was getting right at that point to where I was going to collapse, because I was getting soaked with sweat.

I have had episodes in the past of low blood sugar, to the point to where I've passed out, big time.

I told her and she was very concerned that I had never told her this before, because it is medically serious. I just explained to her from the bottom of my heart, that since its been a long while since that has happened to me, I totally forgot all about it. So, for now on, she is going to keep some hard candies in her purse, as a just in case thing and I need to better regulate my eating habits. It's my own fault, I should of had ate something during the course of the day and that would of never had happen. Live and Learn....

View attachment 46456 View attachment 46457 Y'all, The Little Mermaid has been a whopping success! I'm getting ready to go to the last show, a Sunday matinee. Elizabeth was starting to get sad this morning, because the show is ending today. Bu there's still plenty to do. In fact, yesterday she auditioned for the next musical, The Addams Family. That should be a lot of fun, too!

Thanks for sharing the pics and that’s so exciting!!
 
Good afternoon! It’s unusually cold here. It was 62 when I got home this am and it’s raining, supposed to rain for the next 7 days or more. Work tonight as usual! Hope you’re all having a great day!

Quite a scary episode there. It's a good thing that you recognized the symptoms and took action before falling down. I fainted once in my life and it was very troubling. Hope you feel better xmastidings.

Good evening everyone. Hope your night is going well. The rain came in as promised, we got a pretty good soaking. As a matter of fact, its coming down pretty good out there again right at this moment. We stayed home all day and did a lot of work inside the house today, and I mean we got a lot done too with great results. Jill made a batch of cherry scones this evening and oh baby, are they good. I've had 4 of them already!

We are supposed to get a severe thunderstorm around 11:45 so I'm going stay up till it passes. I hope you all have a good night.

I hope the storm isn’t too bad, be safe.
 
Morning MMC! It's the last week of July already! I am working these next 3 days then off for a little 4 day vacation. I've never felt that I needed a break as much as I do this time. Just looks like we have a humid and showery week for the most part. Should clear up though by the end of the week and into the weekend. Have a good Monday!

Hope you stayed safe in the storms, have a great start to your week!
 
Good morning. It’s a great morning for a fresh cup a Java. The big thunderstorm that was a coming for us, just skirted past us and the next town over got thumped instead. We got some thunder, but a lot of rain. It’s raining still this morning.

Sigh, another Monday and a start of the work week. It’s amazing to me, just how quickly the month of July will be over next week and we will then be into August.

I think today I’m going to leave the office a little early, I have a truck bed full of garbage and it’s starting to get to that lovely attractant, that flies within 100 miles away, just cannot get enough of! I got so tied up and busy Saturday, that by the time I remembered to go, it was already too late.

I’m going to head to Lowe’s today after work too and then that’s it for me for today.

Have a nice morning.

Raising my coffee cup! Cheers!
Hope your day goes well, friend.
 
Good morning MMC ~
Merry Monday!
It’s going to be warm and humid with chance of showers and thunderstorms. Very tropical out there, not a good hair day! Just a typical day of errands and chores for me. My middle one is off so she’ll be tagging along. We’re going to grab pizza for lunch. I’m going to grill marinated chicken later tonight for dinner. I think we’ll slice it up and have it over a big tossed salad. I’m also going to make a warm roasted potato salad with bacon. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone has a nice day and a great week ahead!!!
xx
 
Merry Monday...last full week of July how did that happen?
Looks like we are going to have showers and humidity for the week.
My daughter's foot got stepped on in the middle of her soccer game last night. It is so swollen and I think she is definitely going to be bruised. When we got home we iced it and some advil. We'll see how it is today.
I am just having a cup of coffee and going through emails. Hope you all have great day!
 
Good Morning, Friends!

With a new week upon us, thoughts naturally turn afresh toward Christmas and its Season, bringing to mind questions as to its proximity.

We are here to help with that matter and as such, we present today's data:
Days to the Season: 113
Days to Christmas Day: 155

As for our next Milestone marker, well that's now UNDER two weeks up the road.
Of course, we speak of the 100-Day Season Window, and the beginning of a DOUBLE-DIGIT Season count!

Well, a heat rut has now transitioned into a rain rut, with precipitation in the forecast for quite some time to come. In fact, a light rain has just finished falling.
We are currently at 72 degrees, here under overcast skies.

Have a Marvelous Monday, Folks! And a great week as well.
