  1. Happy Monday everyone. Thanks for the Daily and Fleet report. It will be a coolish day today. Going for a massage and then will be attending to my classes and grading assignments for the rest of the day. I will take several breaks with Fancy taking her for walks today. I will have the cranberry mojito as I eat my delicious garlic butter lobster tail. So many to remember on Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. My cats, Squeaky, Misha, Tommy, Basil, Pepper, Tabitha, Frisky, Stripes, and Bradley. Most recently my beloved dog Abby. What wonderful pets they all were. I will be thinking of all on today's care list and celebrating with all who are celebrating. Have a safe and healthy day.
  2. Good Sunday morning everyone. Thank you for the daily and fleet reports. It should be a nice day today. I will be listening to church online, throwing dinner in the crockpot (macaroni and cheese with cauliflower), then a Zoom call with my family. I am also working on rearranging and organizing my home office. Thank you @dfish for the recipes. I want to try some of those, they all look good. Thinking of everyone on the care list.

  3. Happy Saturday everyone. Thank you for the Daily and Fleet reports. It is a muggy and mostly sunny today. Working indoors as I have a toe causing me some pain.

  4. Hello everyone. We made it to Friday! Thank you for the daily and Fleet reports. It is a cloudy and humid day today and we are expecting thunderstorms. Fancy and the cats have the right idea, they are sleeping in. I will be working from home on a variety of work-related activities. Lasagna roll ups sound good. Watching cruise videos. Because of travel commitments in 2024, I was unable to schedule a cruise until 2025. I have a trip coming up in October 2023 to Colorado for a conference. I do miss traveling though. Thinking of all on the care list and @Haljo1935, praying that surgery goes well so you can get on those cruises. Celebrating with all who are celebrating. Have a safe and healthy day.
  5. Good morning and happy Thursday. Thanks for the Daily and Fleet reports. Looks to be a cloudy and possibly rainy day here. We do need the rain. I will be in the office today working and having Internet connected. Have been using a hotspot for years and for the last several weeks, the Internet was so unreliable, I could not get work done. So much for trying to save a few bucks. I love tostados. I love foods where you have so many options for variety. Thinking of all on the care list. Celebrating with all who are celebrating.

  6. Good morning, everyone and happy Wednesday. Thank you for the Daily and Fleet reports. It will be a cool and sunny day here. I am working on grading assignments today at home so I may just take the laptop outside along with Fancy. I will report that with the change in medication, a more concerted effort at eating better and a wonderful Fancy to go for walks with, I can report that my fasting blood sugars are now 50 points lower. I will continue to work on it. Happ birthday to @Vict0riann Bon Voyage @HAL4NOW Thinking of all on the care list. Celebrating with all who are celebrating, Have a safe and healthy day.
  7. Good morning. It is a beautiful cool morning today. Thank you for the Daily and Fleet reports. Yes, to the shrimp taco salad. I will be in the office today, but it will not be a long day.

  8. Thank you for the great review. I will be sailing on Eurodam from Seattle to Alaska in 2025. I sailed this year on her sister ship Nieuw Amsterdam and loved every minute of it. Hoping they get the kinks out of the service issues by then. I always drank from the tap water in the state room. I would fill a bottle and take that with me. The water was good. The great thing about cruising is that there is something for everyone.
  9. Hello everyone. Yes, it's Monday. Thank you for the Daily and Fleet reports. It is another hot one today here. I love making meals in sheet pans. They are so easy to use. Thank you all for the well wishes. I have successfully defended my dissertation proposal! The nerves were real, and I was able to get through it. Thank goodness it was virtual. My proposal has been approved and now I am waiting for approval from the Institutional Review Board so I can begin data collection. An amusing moment was when the doorbell rand and Fancy started barking. I just ignored that and forged ahead. This is a huge relief and just one more step closer to finishing. Thinking of all on the care list especially those in the path of Hurricane Hillary and those still recovering in Maui. Celebrating with all who are celebrating. Everyone, have a safe and healthy day.

Continuing to work on lowering my blood sugar. Making progress here. Having Fancy is so helpful as she is very active. She loves to run in the yard and make me chase her. She keeps in on my toes.

  16. Happy Monday. Thank you for the Daily and Fleet reports. It is supposed to be stormy today. I will be celebrating friendship, both in persons and online. Fancy had her first bath yesterday.

  18. Happy Friday everyone. Thank you for the Daily and Fleet reports. Feeling a bit under the weather today. Today will be a day of rest for me. I have four classes of assignments today so I will work on that. I have my oral presentation scheduled for 8/21/2023 so that I will need to work on my PowerPoint slides for that. If all goes well, I should complete my doctorate by the end of this year with commencement scheduled for next year. It has been a long and hard journey working on my doctorate. Balancing work and classes as well as losing two family members made it a challenge. Finally, the end is in sight. I earned this. Fancy will get a bath this weekend. She is a little odiferous. I caught one of the cats playing with Fancy's favorite bone. Chase wants to be a dog. I must say, Fancy has livened up the place. I celebrate Chocolate Chip Cookie Day every time I get my hands on one. Congratulations on your retirement @Mr. Boston. Thinking of all on the care list today.

  20. Happy Sunday everyone. Thank you for the Daily and Fleet report. Weather is lovely today. The heat and humidity have taken a break. I will gladly have the meal and drink of the day. I love cheesecake. Fancy had her visit with the vet yesterday. She is a very good dog who travels well in the car. She got a clean bill of health and some shots. She does have a luxating patella, much like me, which explains why she will occasionally run on three legs. Fancy has adapted well to our home. She is such a sweet dog who seems really happy. We did go for a walk after the vet appointment. She loves being outdoors. For me, I am getting more exercise which is helping my blood sugar go down. Thinking of everyone on the care list.

I make a version with turkey sausage. I also have made baked spaghetti. Fancy continues to amaze me. She is so energetic. She loves being outdoors and is just so happy to run around as fast as she can. She continues to adjust quite well. She has her first vet appointment tomorrow. At one time she apparently was treated for Lyme disease. I suspect her joints still act up every once in a while. She certainly doesn't let the bother her. Thinking of everyone on the care list. Celebrating with all who are celebrating. Have a safe and healthy day.
  22. Good morning and welcome to Wednesday. Thank you for the Daily and Fleet reports. It will be getting really hot here over the next few days. The area is under heat advisories.

I lost Internet right in the middle of a video I was making for one of my classes. Will have to begin a new tomorrow. Fancy is adapting very nicely. She has shown she can be mischievous when bored. She stole one of the cats' toys and tore it to shreds. She loves racing around the back yard. She is a wonderful dog. I may begin training her to be a therapy dog as she has a very nice disposition. Thinking of all on the care list. Celebrating with all who are celebrating. Have a safe and healthy day!
  24. The cats, especially my Chase who thinks he is a dog anyway, walk up to her and are okay with her. I think it has to do with her size. She is much smaller than my previous dog, Abby, and my cats, well let's just say they are a little larger than average.
