on monday i decided to go extreme on these dang lambs quarters. even cut, they’re really pointy so no fun to walk on. rather than trying an herbicide, im just going to deprive them of light 🤬

sunday was a nice day so it was time for some serious yard work that was sadly late in coming. i’d either mistaken some plants for flowering bushes or just wasn’t paying attention. this resulted in some trees taking root, more than i could dig up. 😮😝 so got my little chainsaw & started hacking.
saturday was kinda weird. we got a break in the weather with so rain showers and when it was wasn’t raining, there was often a mist falling. gave the place a weird vibe.
on friday, i made it to the public library for early voting! yay, me!
at first i wasn’t sure why i was so tired thursday until i realized i hadn’t taken my meds. but got it together and got the recycling out because #fridayisalwaystrashday feat. an empty dogfood bag with a huge collection of old magazines that had been piling up for-freaking-EVER, so that was good.
on wednesday, i finally finished the laundry and it was a nice day so the kids and i hung out on the front porch while i folded the whites. boxers or briefs?? the answer is YES!
quarterly checkup tuesday. most of my labs were ok but my A1C is creeping up which was a bit concerning. doc said i need to eat smarter. i had to agree ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
with temps pushing 100F on monday, nobody wanted to play. i was interested what was catching Huck’s eye over in the grizzly habitat. turns out it was one of the keepers up on the cliffs overlooking the habitat throwing some treats down to them. 🤪
on saturday morning, it was nice to see the morning glory blooms, but those vines are pretty invasive 🤬. and zooming out, i look like a scrawny old man. granted, most of it is light and shadow, but still… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i made sure to get the recycling bins out on thursday evening since the neighbors and i (we share bins) had a lot to dispose of. was able to bring them back in when i got home from work friday because #fridayisalwaystrashday
sometimes our animal friends just amaze us. on thursday, this #KingPenguin decided to just camp out and observe us silly humans. of course, i have to agree; us humans act a lot sillier than penguins ever do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
walked up the block on wednesday to tell a new neighbor about the city’s yard waste policy. basically, yard waste pick up is the day after trash pickup so you can put your yard waste in the freshly emptied bin. they will NOT, however, pick up yard bags. thems the rules.
busy but good day on tuesday. early appt @ the doc’s for the #peeandbleed labs before next week’s quarterly checkup. splurged on a yummy belgian waffle @Chris_Pancakes_STL.bsky.social before being early to my appt @ Francis Park Dentistry to finally get that last (impacted) #wisdomtooth pulled.
monday was stupid hot (again) but managed to get out back and mow down my crop of weeds and picked up some sticks (some pretty big ones too!) that fell from my ancient maple tree ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
stopped by the prairie dogs on sunday when a sudden cloudburst had everyone ducking for cover. the chimpanzees were already inside chilling out. after the rain everyone was back out though it was still muggy.
started friday back by those #leafcutterants i was talking about on wednesday. my little buddies, the #prairiedogs, were out sunning and being adorable and the #grizzlies were just kinda hanging out.
on thursday, i took my sister up by the Confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers to (hopefully) see lots and lots of sunflowers. i guess we were too early in the season since there were a lot less than id see in other years.
on tuesday i made sure to get the yard waste out for midweek pickup before heading off to grab that bag of dog food i’d been meaning to. #FredAndEthyl may be old and decrepit (like me) but they still want their DEEEEnner!!!
sorry for not keeping current with my posting. monday’s big accomplishment was pulling up most of those crazy sorghum plants that kinda look like corn stalks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
sunday was a bit weird, but i met a keeper at the prairie dog habitat and learned a few things. one was that this little guy is named Pete! the keeper said that the black spots on his cheeks was how he can tell Howdy, Mister Pete! 👋🏼😍
‘Verify your age’ yes, i saw the Beatles play live on the Ed Sullivan Show in Feb 1964. i was 4-years old. 🤔🤪

saturday morning, finally found out how much water my dehumidifier holds. started using it when i was having AC issues last year, noticed the #smartthermostat saying “overcooling to dehumidify”. 🤔 remembered getting this for husband’s (failed) attempt growing “herbs” in basement. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
on friday, i took a stab at pulling up some of the #LambsQuarter that’s been taking over the backyard but its a losing battle. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
thursday was kinda muggy but not as intolerable as the week before. plus, figured out my portable fan fits nicely in a notch in the wall at the entrance to Penguin-Puffin Cove where we give a briefing to guests. later, i remembered to put out the recycling bin because #fridayisalwaystrashday 🤪

on wednesday, i got out back to attack some more weeds, but it started raining so figured i’d pop down to the drugstore to pick up a refill. they were closed for lunch so i took a chance and stopped by my regular dentist office to see if they were finally in-network. SURPRISE!! they finally are!
so….on tuesday i wound up down at the clinic where i usually see my #sleepapnea doc. though I’m not due for my annual checkup until DEC, they were testing a new smartwatch health app and needed someone with a history of diabetes. so i agreed to help and so went thru a series of exercises…
