Don, I agree, I don't care for challenges and tend to push back. That said, I have a lot of stuff in boxes already that need to be described and photographed for listing. With the shipping container already chosen it goes pretty quickly.

Ex is retired as of about four minutes ago, and coming over for dinner, and our daughter is coming over after work to join us. It'll be simple, fish, potatoes, salad, veggies.

I've figured out that the surgical glue is what my skin is all red about, and as it gradually peels off the skin will recover. I may try a little rubbing alcohol on one spot to see if that helps remove it (a spot beside the incision, nothing that would be painful for that test).

It's still damned hot out there and getting hotter. And with Independence Day nearly upon us, the blue heeler will be beside herself with all of the racket. She'll be pretty warm if I put the Thunder Shirt on her, but I'll see how it goes. Maybe just let her hide in my bedroom closet for a few days. That's where we slept during the freeze back in February 2021 and all of the dogs are really fond of it now.

What kind of suggestions are you getting from your dietician, Dorothy?
