Happy Memorial day, dugh!   Warm day here, but it's comfortable.   Don't overdo it today. 

The pup and took an abbreviated walk early this morning and then I did a few chores. First I took mum's car to the carwash, it's cleaned and shined inside and out. I bought her a new set of floormats. Went to the recycle center so that mum will not need to do that for a bit after she comes home. Then to the pet superstore for the additive for Thistle's water. It's an extract of green tea and other natural stuff that helps prevent tartar build up and keeps his breath nice. Next a stop a Target for a couple of things before heading back to the house where I trimmed and sized the floormats to fit mum's car and wiped down the interior surfaces with protectant to prevent sun damage. Mum drive's a 1999 Saturn sedan. It's in very good condition and well maintained, she's got a great mechanic. Now I'm being lazy for a bit before I get cleaned up for a picnic with some of the neighbors late this afternoon. Mum baked brownies to go with ice cream for dessert. I have a large crockpot of baked beans that's been simmering all night and I'm going to make a tossed salad too. The picnic should be fun.

But Gary told you not to overdo it. For your own good I'm sacrificing myself to make him exercises

I'm the Physical Therapist Asst, so I'll handle the exercises, thanks.

This is like some episode from a soap opera. Think I'll just make myself a cup of tea and sit back in the armchair and watch all the shenanigans.

Hey, Marty.     I worked a full five hours today, despite the fact that today is a holiday here in the U.S. That's what I get for choosing a career in food service.    We're having BBQ ribs, Bavarian potato salad, and roasted green beans for dinner tonight. Watermelon-mint Granita for dessert.

Hey, Page!  

The day dried up slightly, so I managed to get out for a while in the evening and pot some small strawberry plants that I'd propagated from runners last year into larger pots. They were getting a little pot bound in their original pots. Made spag bol for dinner, followed by live blackcurrant yoghurt as dessert.

Hi yourself, Gary!

Not sure if I should ask who belongs in each of the above three categories...
