Well Thursday was both a fun day and a work day but the temps have really soared to new records for this time of the year. We saw 90 on the truck thermometer when we headed out around 3 for Sam's Club. The humidity has not returned totally yet, but I'm sure that's in the forecast. In the afternoon shade it's rather pleasant outside under the big oak.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric which has helped tremendously with the joints especially now since I'm on the pickle ball court 5 times a week and for two hours at a time. I'm amazed how this simple herb can be so effective and nothing scripted. I sometimes think prescriptions cause more harm than good, oh well. I did my quiet time after posting this ramble then got ready to ride out on my bike to the Rec. for two hours of continuous pickle ball play with a challenge court. That means if you win you split partners and play with new ones for each game and I never sat down for over an hour, yeow I was hoping for a partner at times to lose and get a rest.
I headed home afterwards with a wet shirt and wet head to find Nancy on her way out for shopping for the redo on the bathroom. I set the sprinkler on the garden and got to work on the second coat of paint. I will need to give the area where I painted a test dark blue/gray paint again to day a second coat. I think she likes this light gray color on the walls as she has already purchased shower curtains and towels to accentuate the colors, oh well she watches too much HGTV.
Amy and Eliza came for lunch and stayed until it was time to pick up Ava and Sam from school. Eliza likes to ride her bike on the sidewalk as they have none in their hood. After lunch I managed to read a little and then take a power nap for a few moments while they were all outside. It felt good to relax after a lite lunch of fresh raw veggies and dip. I'm down now 10 + pounds and want to go for another couple as we stay away from the carbs. I'm hoping for between 180-185 which we be 12 pounds down. We have been having a meat/fish with just a veggie for our suppers which I think has made a huge difference and Nancy is down several pounds as well.
We took off for Sam's and I filled up at a 1.32 which is down from last week at 1.69 but up from earlier this year where we saw 1.19 a gallon. I'm not sure why since we are exporting energy and not relying on the Arabs for our oil, oh well. We picked up some fresh Steelhead Salmon and I grilled a nice fillet along with some zucchini, onions and mushrooms in my grill pan, yeow delicious and very few carbs. After the cleanup we settled into the Fox News Cable network and once again the dem's and libs are pushing gun control after this school shooting. There does seem to be some changes that should be made but never take away our second amendment rights. When lawful folks give up that right then only unlawful people will be in control and the libs and dem's can not understand that especially if government gets its way. Trump is doing his best to hear both sides and make recommendations to the congress but at least he is listening and the MSM is constantly blaming him for any and all occurrences which they deem unfit.
The FBI under Obama is to blame for this tragedy because they spent all of their time trying to destroy our duly elected POTUS instead of doing their job which is to keep us safe and apprehend criminals. I'm glad there are others who think the way I do in regard to the complicity of these heads in the FBI, DOJ, CIA and the MSM to undermine and destroy this president and his agenda. It's a sad day when our own political leaders hate our POTUS so much they will let the nation suffer. I hope all of these traitors are exposed and locked up, LATER
