Random thoughts- I was trying to figure out how i got 2 identical bruises on each forearm, about 4 inches above the wrist. One is fading but the other is really purple. I've figured out the location is exactly where a door knob or handle would be if I hit it. I vaguely remember hitting my arm on something and thinking "that's what must have happened before". I think I was half asleep and probably got up to go to the bathroom. I hate when bruises just appear.
Every day seems exactly like the day before. The only thing that is different is Monday I have to make sure the garbage cans are out. I get up between 5 and 6, drink one or 2 mugs of coffee, feed Bobby and the cats at 6 when Marco gets his insulin shot. Then I spend about an hour cleaning the house so it is ready if someone wants to see it. Then I spend 30 minutes to an hour outside pulling weeds or raking before it gets too hot to do anything. I get maybe 1-3 people a week looking at my house. Yesterday, I was hopeful because they were in my house for about 40 minutes. But so far, no offer or request to look at the house again. Around 10 or 11am I am tired. Don't do much the rest of the day unless someone is coming to look at the house. Then I get Bobby in the car and figure out where to go for about an hour. I realized my morning routine wasn't good for Bobby because I wasn't taking him for a walk. So I've started taking him for a walk around 6:30 for 30-40 minutes, I think it's about 2 miles. Then I do the house and yard work.
I am happy more people are looking at the house but am getting somewhat discouraged about it selling. I had even been thinking about taking it off the market until early next year. Then there was a fire 2 days ago, really, really too close to my house. Around 2pm I looked out the front window and it looked hazy out. So I went on to the front porch and could smell smoke and saw ash f!oating down in front of me. All my neighbors were outside trying to figure out where the fire was. I got ready to leave, got the cat and Bobby in the car (cats were meowing their heads off), then one of my neighbors said the fire was under control, no one was being evacuated. It was a brush fire and only 2 acres burned,but the response was amazing, over 80 personnel and water drops being made. So it reminded me of why I wanted to move. And it's only June! I think this summer is going to be crazy with the heat and fires.
And my knee is aching more now that the cortisone shot has worn off.

Hot, hot weather! Nearly 100 today. Just thinking about my original plan with the new house in Oregon would have had me move in April before the hot weather arrived here. But that fell apart when the new home development put everything on hold. And then my knee issues started and I didn't think about moving until I knew what to do about that. Now I'm living in a house with hardly any furniture waiting for someone to buy my house. I did buy a new dining table so I have somewhere to use my laptop beside the kitchen counter. No one had come by to see my house for well over a week and then today there were 2 showings. Bobby and I went to the park twice to kill time while the house was being shown. Way too hot for me, but Bobby is okay as long as he gets to go with me. My eating is bad again, but I'll get back on track at some point.

This morning I asked Bobby if he wanted to go for a walk when I was at the front door. I heard a really loud thud as he jumped off the bed straight to the hard floor instead of using the ottoman there for him. He limped to me. So I just dropped him and my cat Marco off at the vet and they will call me once they've been checked out. Marco is bleeding from his gums. Not a good day so far.
I stopped at the ATM to get cash to pay the young man who is taking care of nearly a half acre of weeds and the ATM went dead but finally gave me my card back. Called the bank and they show a $200 cash withdrawal so I'll have to file a dispute. Lousy day so far so I bought a bag of tater tots at the grocery store! Also bought a cooked chicken breast and a small bag of pistachios. Almost bought ice cream because it was on sale for $3.99 but talked myself out of it!
I walked without Bobby for over 5000 steps and my knee started hurting just a little. But last night I didn't even need to take Ibuprofen.
My realtor came over yesterday and I agreed to lower the price on my house because no one is looking at it and I really want to move. Between my homeowner's insurance and HOA dues I have nearly $9000 due at the end of June! One reason it's hard to sell the house is insurance is nearly impossible to get and the California Fair Plan is about all that's available for new policies and it's crazy expensive.

It's better than it looks and also worse than it looks. I hadn't posted my weight for over 60 days. Unlike post people on this site, I don't like to post my weight when it increases. I had set a new 15 pound goal somewhere around the first of the year. By January 21st I was down, maybe 4 or 5 pounds. Then stuff happened - being told by an orthopedist he recommended total knee replacement, finding out the new house that was going to be built in Oregon wasn't going to happens. Plenty of excuses. I started to gain. I can gain a lot of weight pretty fast. I posted some of the gain but never as much as it actually was. Then I just stopped stepping the scale and did not post my weight. When my house was listed for sale, 5 weeks ago I stopped cooking and got meals to go. Chicken strips at least 4 times, a Subway meatball sandwich, tacos I'm sure. I finally weighed myself in the morning about 10 days ago and was 185. So I started trying to eat less carbs than protein and lost over 6 pounds. So today's weight is correct. Still need to lose 5 pounds to get to January's weight.
So far, no one has looked at my house this weekend. I had asked someone who posted on Nextdoor to weed wack my property after giving up my yard care service. He texted me yesterday to make sure I still wanted him to work today. He asked what time and said he should come over. I told him I preferred the morning. Then he texted and asked if he could come right over. I said yes, but why? He just wanted to see my yard. I knew he a teenager, probably in high school. A few minutes later hecame over with his dad. They introduced themselves and we walked all over the lot, nearly 1/2 acre. His dad was pointing out things he should do. Really nice and polite young man. He said he'd be over at 8am and should finish it all by 11. I looked outside at 8am and he was working! I went out at 11 to pay him. He got about half the property done, mostly out front and it looks so much better than what the lawn service does. He's only 16 and wants work for the summer. He said he could come by during the week to finish. Anyway, I hope he is able to keep on working for me. He also said he'd clean the pond on my bank.
Still eating okay today but have lunch coming up next week with a friend at Red Robin.
