It was nice and I didn't have to cook anything.Eve brought home half a piece of apple pie. We got desert and split it. The pie was good.
So I read that you're now working once per month?
Must have something to do with your boss retiring, I guess.
How often were you working before?

... oh, I finally did vacuum off that area rug in the corner of the living room.
But better belay heavy-duty work for a few days. It's been 90+ for the past couple of days over here, and predicted to be apox 95 for the next two (three) more, so for you that means 100-105+. Take it easy! Stay hydrated!
I hope this is the last surge of Santa Anas this year ... but I doubt it.

Yeah, I did.
No pasta or cheese!!!!
I probably shouldn't eat cheese either, since it doesn't agree with me anymore, but it's one of the few food sins I still indulge in.
I'm pretty much still gluten free, but I've always made exceptions for when I eat with other people. I just don't "cook" it for myself. The spaghetti, ravioli, mac and cheese and frozen pizzas that I'd make for myself was definitely not real Italian food.
But by not eating something much, you REALLY enjoy it on the rare occasions that you indulge.
I don't get the same level of enjoyment out of the rare soda, but every once in a while if I'm down by my brother's with my Dad I'll have one and it does taste about 10 times better than I remember it tasting when it was a staple of my diet.

Oh, my!

Quote:About 16 per 1,000 women in America had abortions in 2018. It was 29.3 per 1,000 in the 80s. So in any 10 year span, more than 15% of women have abortions.

https://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/risk-fact-sheet
Based on current incidence rates, 12.9% of women born in the United States today will develop breast cancer at some time during their lives.
But the breast cancer rate is only 13%.
First pregnancy abortions were already known to be the highest correlation with breast cancer. Sounds like it still is the case, despite the denials from SJWs.

That's what she said yesterday and it is directly related to her retiring. For a while it was 6 times, so twice a week for a whole month. But that was a good number of years ago. Over the last couple of years it became one day a week, then it went to a day every 2 weeks.
But it could go up again if she decides to get a part time job or volunteer somewhere. She gets bored easily and really has no patience for all the chores that come with managing things around a house.

Back from my walk and meds refilled for another month. Also picked up some hot dogs that were on sale and some ice cream. Hot dogs are supper as I am being lazy this weekend.
No rain today so that was good.

Just a lazy Sunday by me. Might take a look at some publishers today as I have enough retyped to start thinking about that.

Normally I don't see quite so many birds and butterflies, but today was a bonanza!
So of course I saw the neighborhood bird families: the California Towhees, the Scrub Jays, and the Mockingbirds, the House Finches, the House Sparrows, and the LBJs (little brown jobs). I also saw some western goldfinches. In addition I saw a California trasher. At first I thought it was a towhee, because it was well hidden under the trees, and it was about the same uniform brown, size, and shape. But then it came out to work on a fallen cherry, and it had pretty long legs and an extremely long, narrow, down-curved beak. If I've ever seen one before, I don't remember.
And as well as the monarch butterflies that come to visit the passionfruit vine, and the medium-sized white and yellow butterflies, I saw what may have been a painted lady which looks like a smaller, duller, chunkier monarch, and a HUGE - over 3" across - bright yellow butterfly covered about 50% with deep black margins. I'm guessing it's the anise butterfly.

Beautiful Kiki. I saw a Blue jay on either Friday or Saturday on my way home.
