Rain, Rain Go Away

Happy Monday Everyone! ugh it's another rainy day. The whole weekend was a bust with rain pretty much putting a damper (literally) on any outside plans. My next door neighbor had an outside party planned on Saturday and wound up having to rent a tent for the party goers. I could see inside the tent from my kitchen window and everyone was basically huddled together. He let us know they were getting the tent (just to be courteous) and then added "feel free to come by". It was a nice gesture but no way I was going to go. My day is off to a slow start. I've been lollygagging since I got up and just finished my breakfast and second cup of coffee. I just finished breakfast and my daughter will be taking her lunch break in an hour. I won't be ready for lunch until later on. Even the dog is having a tired day. She hasn't budged from the sofa all morning. She's all cuddled up with her blanket and snoring. Usually when someone is in the kitchen she is under-foot hoping for a snack but today she didn't even move a muscle. I started reading a book I thought I had read years ago. (The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah). It wasn't until I charged my old Kindle to see what books I had that I saw that I never read that book and here I was agreeing that it was an awesome book. So, since my Kindle was all charged up I figured I'd read it. I'm not that far into it yet but it's already grabbed my attention. Looks like a fairly quiet day ahead. How's life in your little corner of the myLot world?

The typhoon has left. In fact, it didn't hit Hong Kong directly. Today's weather is pretty good. I had dim sum lunch with friends.

We're getting rain here, too. Which is fine by me.

Hmmm, your day started a bit later and mine just ended a bit earlier. They were having technical difficulties (again) with our remote working, so I took the afternoon off. It seemed easier then dealing with the stress. I hope that you start to enjoy sunny and dry weather. That is what we are having. Today the humidity should start to affect us, which isn't great, but was inevitable. After I finish my afternoon coffee, I plan on going out shopping for some little sundresses for the girls. They passed their swimming lesson session yesterday and I'd like to give them something for that achievement.

I ate something at 5 am when I took my morning meds but was hungry when Pretty was cooking pasta, chicken and cheese in the oven... I tried a bite of that and the spices were too much for me so I made a breakfast sandwich... Then thought I'd move the car and am waiting for someone to come jumpstart it now. I slept three hours this morning and am getting tired again but can't go back to sleep yet.

I am having pain in my root canal tooth; and I have to figure out a way to get to Urgent Care. I have a mammogram scheduled for tomorrow; and I don''t know if cousin #3 would want to do both.

It is very hot here, it has been a while since it rained. Last year I read Women by Kristin Hannah, it is a very good one.

Hello again Marilyn Got to ask before I forget What is Lollygagging? No rain here today, typically stops after the weekend. What breed of dog do you have? I like dogs that like snacks as it gives me an excuse to go to the kitchen. I do this when we dog sit our neighbours dog
