Sitting outside enjoying a late afternoon cocktail....smelling the freshly cut grass.
Started the day watching some of the 9/11 Ceremonies & TV coverage over coffee & breakfast. I took advantage of the lovely cooler temperatures, finishing my coffee on the back deck snuggled in my cold weather robe. Downloaded the rest of my Beach photos to Instagram.
Since the weather was still nice I did yard work & gardening this afternoon....watered plants, blew leaves & stuff off the decks & patio, pulled weeds, cut back the overgrown jasmine on the arbor, swept & raked up the debris & replaced the 2 dead potted marigolds with mums. Then I finally sat down and had a snack/ lunch of sliced honeycrisp apples & popcorn while I read a magazine. All in all a pretty good day.
I went online & ordered Hubby 8 bottles of the bath wash he likes from Bath & Body works. He actually started using it last year after my sister gave me some my BIL had received as a gift & never used ( he had passed away). It was his favorite, too. There was a sale...buy 3 get one free. There was also a promo that if you spend x # of $$ you get free shipping...hence I ordered enough to cover that. Hubby should have enough to last awhile 😁
I took out Angus ground beef to make meatballs for dinner and defrosted a pork tenderloin for tomorrow's dinner. Planning ahead 😊 I would like to be back at pre vacation weight before my Doctor's appointment on Tues. As of this morning I'm less than a lb. to get there. Of course I have to make it thru 3 days of meals before then.
My sister got her first Covid vaccine yesterday morning. She had held off due to some valid concerns but finally decided she wanted to be protected. Now all of my siblings & I have had the vaccine. I asked the nurse yesterday if I could be tested for antibodies when she drew my blood. My doctor wasn't in the office but she drew an extra vial of blood & sent an approval request. She said she was pretty sure he'd approve it. I thought as long as I was getting blood drawn I'd see if my vaccine was still protecting me.
Almost time for our afternoon walk so I'll wrap this up.
