Monday

I did not go swimming this morning but... it's nice and cloudy out so I might just suit up and go after I finish this entry. (The pool has giant windows and faces east so the glare is horrible when the sun is out even when the blinds are down but a cloudy day = lovely swim.)

I have $400 to spend on meals every month - on the 10th, whatever I haven't used disappears and I get a new $400. So, I have a little spreadsheet that keeps a running tally of what I have left and how many days I have to use it up. We've had a run of not very tempting menus lately so I have been cooking up here a good bit. This morning I checked and I'm running behind. There are several easy ways to remedy this. But I need to pay attention before my balance gets out of control. So I'll probably do lunch today with my neighbors and maybe even breakfast tomorrow after volleyball. This week's dinner menu is meh but there are some good sides and I can just order up sides and match them with stuff I have up here. So I'll probably do that. Even when the menus aren't to my liking there is still enough good stuff to keep my ample frame filled.

I dreamed last night that I lost Biggie. Lost as in couldn't find him. I thought he was in the condo so I went back there. It had new owners and they had installed walls and made the loft into rooms and put up wallpaper everywhere. It was wild. I never did find Biggie but his snoring woke me up so it was fine.

We started my birthday puzzle yesterday. Here's Myrna making a snarky comment...



There will be more work done on this today. It's a very very very fun puzzle.

I hope you show the puzzle when it's all together. About how long does it take to do a puzzle when you have a whole crew working on it?

Well, with this crew it takes about the same time as it would without them :) but they are fun company. I'd say 1,000 piecer like this one takes about a week.
