Today is a really nice day, I mean it's not hot, it's not muggy, just a really nice fall like day. We had our breakfast on the deck this morning. I love doing that. It's always so peaceful. We watched the hummingbirds dive-bombing the Rose of Sharon bushes, zipping back and forth between the two plants we have on each side of the yard. The mimosa tree is alive with them as well.

Dan's marine job ended Friday. He brought all his tools back home and based on what little he's been seeing there, is very glad it's over. I'm glad because he will be here when I get my shoulder surgery on Sept. 6. I'm sick of having pain all day, every day. If it's not my shoulder than it's my hips, if it's not them it's my back. I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired. Too much stress.

After a couple weeks off, I finally put 11 items on eBay when they had "free list" day. Of these 11 items 8 will sell and have already gotten bids. That is encouraging. I'm hoping to get a few more things ready this afternoon. I need more crap out of my life. Danny's boat dream is looking better and better all the time!

Well it's time for me to go walking. I started last week doing my 4 up and downs in the driveway, which is a little over half mile. The last time I was doing it regular was right before my hip surgery and I've never quite gotten back in the swing of things. I carry 4 little rocks with me, dropping one on the back bumper of the SUV everytime I make a round. When I run out of rocks I know I'm done. This time I'm noticing it makes my right ankle feel like it's falling over. I'm hoping it's just the angle of the drive and not another joint falling apart.

I'd say I gotta run, but I can't so I won't. ~LJ
