~cattleman cafe~ & another 24...

Cowboy, the breakfast yesterday was superb! Thank you. It was so good we decided to make the same breakfast here in my kitchen as well. We slipped a few blueberries into some of the pancakes for the fun of it.

Rava, that's great about the kayaks! It sounds like a lot of fun and good exercise. Watch out for the 'gators though! And also, I was waiting to see if your deep fried tortilla bowls worked out for you. Inquiring minds want to know.

Jude, how very exciting for you to be closing in on your last day at work! I am sure you will not regret your choice.

Slo, I know you will miss those swim meets. New adventures will open up though. Glad you didn't get triggered at the event. It does sound like there was the possibility. You have to feel proud of yourself.

Ginger, it's been a while since you've mentioned your knee. I take that as a good sign. How's it doing?

24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Cross post, Slo. I know what you mean about kids sports squeezing out family time. I think it's much worse lately that it was when my kids were in school. At least then they didn't do events on Sundays. I don't know whose grand idea that was!!!

Glad you are feeling better about your window treatments. The ones in your bedroom sound great!

Thanks for checking on my knee, Dill. I just decided to quit talking about it when it didn't improve. I was taking way too much advil though and had to cut back because of bruising. I looked like I'd been in a fight and lost. Lol I'll see my doc back home on April 8 and hopefully try integrative medicine.

Slo, glad your window treatments are starting to grow on you!

Jude, another count down. Congrats!

Rava, we have a two person inflatable kayak. What a pain in the butt! Im glad you found a better solution. Do you worry about gators?

Hi, ABC and Mul! I'm in for another one!

Sorry to hear that your knee hasn't gotten better, that must be rough. I've basically done the same with my chronic sinusitis (quit talking about it), there's just no point when it drags on so long, and I don't want to be complaining all the time. I'd rather talk about it when/if there's actual longterm improvement (I do finally have an appointment with an ENT specialist coming up next week -after having to wait nearly a year- so maybe there is finally some chance for hope). Speaking of ibuprofen, I very often have a desire to take it (or tylenol) too, but I kinow there are so many longterm negative health consequences to frequent NSAID use (ibuprofen especially) that I really try hard to not take it too often (basically only when I really feel like I need it). I also don't want to form an dependence on it, because like all substances you use regularly your body will adapt to it.

Congrats Jude58 on a lifetime of work complete! I hope you enjoy your retirement to the fullest, in whatever manner suits you!
