66 degrees this morning. Almost feel like winter is coming, except it does warm up during the day.
Expect some information to confirm about employment situation in the near future!
Other than that, summer is rapidly ending, at least the summer as measured by swimming pools being open, school vacation, baseball etc.
Speaking of baseball, somehow, the St. Louis Cardinals have probably become “our” team, although the Chicago Cubs are still “our” team also. We watched the Memphis Redbirds and saw so many players promoted from the Memphis Redbirds to the St. Louis Cardinals, the players became “our” players and then morphed into the St. Louis Cardinals being “our” team with players we had literally watched come up from the beginning. It was fun and we will miss the Memphis Redbirds very much. We hope to go to one more Redbirds game at Autozone. (If you need any tickets, let me know, we have a bunch we can’t use!)
There is an AAA minor league team where we live, but it just isn’t the same. We can’t really develop any feeling of loyalty to a new team right now, especially one that plays our beloved Memphis Redbirds. Maybe next year, maybe never. Sometimes you just have to move on, sometimes you never move on and you just remember the good memories. (Maybe we will attend the games when the Memphis Redbirds play and cheer them on as “visitors”.)
We are lucky that where we are at now, almost every St. Louis Cardinals game is televised for some reason we aren’t sure of. We just hope it continues. They are televised more than the team that has the logical local support.
Although we aren’t pro basketball fans, the Memphis Grizzles will always hold a special place because the team, both as a team and the individual players, were so good to and for the Memphis community and they kind of grew up with us. The Memphis Grizzles were just starting when we came to Memphis, so we kind of grew up with the excitement.
Of course, we will also always follow and support the University of Memphis Basketball, football and baseball teams (actually all sports, but especially the basketball). Except when they play OU, if ever!
I was pleased to get some reinforcement feedback that it shows I am losing weight since we moved. Maybe the exercise if paying off! Now, I need to start controlling my eating, especially peanut butter. For a while I actually quit eating peanut butter when I realized how many calories (especially fat calories) it had. However, I soon made an exception for peanut butter, just as I do for Oatmeal for carbs! I still eat too much and I hope to start limiting myself. It is especially difficult when I eat out, especially when I am traveling.
Next week, we will begin the process of associating ourselves with new Doctors etc. You always feel a little tentative when starting with a new medical professional (Doctor, Dentist, specialists etc.) and are relieved if they appear to be ok. I have decided if I feel the slightest discomfort about whether the Doctor/Dentist etc. is “right” for me, I may am going to go to another one. Life is too short to see a medical professional I don’t feel comfortable with. My comfort level is actually fairly high. As long as they take the time to listen etc., I will probably be all right.
Happened to go to a Starbucks with the new “Google Internet”. That internet is FAST. Since then, I stopped by a Starbucks with regular internet and really noticed the difference. The Google Internet literally flew on the page!
Enjoy McDonalds coffee occasionally (it’s the only cup I can drink while I drive). I miss the “breakfast parfait”. It is a real bargain for just $1.00! However, I really don’t have any reason to go by since I now have internet at home.
