Just got a reservation to go to Chimney Rock in NC in July. It’s opening up for the first time since the Hurricane. All the trails won’t be open but I’m okay with just seeing the big rock and view.

Lawd. All the curse words. That has been my phrases of choice since 7am this morning.

We are having a Christmas in July party end of July with a Hawaiian theme. Shirt below. I am making Grinch flip flop cookies. You use a nutter butter, frost in Grinch green icing, white straps/thongs and I am picking a candy red heart in the middle part of the thong. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Tried out Head over Heels and it's not striking me as something I need to continue. Definitely in a drama slump, no matter if it's Korean or Chinese.

Up next to read. After Sunrise on the Reaping I need light. #booksky

Reading Sunrise on the Reaping and I’m now in the games. This one is going to hurt a lot.

I don't get much vacation time this year as it was prorated but I just booked four nights in a mountain cabin second week in November. It's only an hour away but has mountain views and easy commute to Asheville. Book reading, sunsets and a couple of days exploring the area and Biltmore at Christmas.

Just did a Zumba class since last Thursday’s was cancelled. Sweating profusely. Now a Therapeutic Assisted Stretch session. It’s extra but we will see if I feel like it helps the hip/back. I might need assistance out the door! 🤣 Then a pedicure! My nail polish was ok but the dry skin. 🤢

What’s the bet gonna be? Will they get to my patio today? It’s 3:52 on a Friday.

Actually started my Summer Friday today at 2:12. Not bad. Picked up holds at library and then got a bird’s action 30 min later I have another one ready. Do I have time to read all these books? Nope. 😂

I wanted to love this book but I did not. I was bored and skimmed the last 30%. This definitely will make me skittish to read another one by her.

My apartment sends an email at 5 today. Oh by the way we are pressure washing all the patios over the next three days, you must remove everything from your patio by tomorrow. Uh. No. My patio is like a room and I don't have the space inside. I will remove all I can and you can move furniture.

Lips not liquor! Finished #SecondShotofLove. Overall quite enjoyable but had a couple of questionable things. Didn't like the last plot twist and why did he have a fridge of alcohol and took a drink that one time?

When you get a package notification from Amazon and you don’t recall what you ordered. But then you remember that it’s swimsuits and you want to just eat all the ice cream because you know this is not gonna be a fun experience trying them on.

Update on my sister's 3rd opinion. They do feel like it is Stage 4 but the metastased spots are so small they feel like 1-2 "zaps" of radiation will take care of them. These doctors are a bit more aggressive in treatment and she now just has to decide which one to go with. She did say this doctor

So I get a message this morning to schedule my appointment with the Breast Cancer Prevention Center and this part annoys me so much. Non-urgent. Most folks wouldn’t be coming to see you if it wasn’t urgent for them. Waitlist I can see but the language needs to worked on in their scripts.

Wait...what the heck is this plot twist. Does this even make sense? I thought she died? #SecondShotatLove

I was just informed the a/c is out at my Zumba class. They are working on it and have extra big fans coming in. I will still go but I likely am going to regret it. 😆

Good news! My sister does not have the BCRA gene for breast cancer which means it’s unlikely I will have it as well as well as her girls. Still likely will be getting an MRI for baseline but maybe will not need genetics testing anymore.

The gasp I just made when I got the email that Leslie Odum Jr Christmas show is coming to GVL. I feel like this will sell out fast.

I hate when I do stupid stuff. Missed the start of my musical today. I forgot Sunday matinees start at 1:00. Last one I went to was on Saturday which started at 2:00. I walked up and was like where is the line?? Dummy. Now I’m taking a long walk downtown and sweating 🥵.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I slept in really late today after I stayed way too late doing financial things. Got a grocery pickup and a couple more books with some credits. Tomorrow I go see "Some Like it Hot" musical and then I have a pickleball game with a couple of friends.

My Summer Friday was to see a CPA. He was not impressive. If you don't understand how the W-4 worksheet works then how can I? He told me how much I might owe. I think it's too high because he didn't take into effect my pre-tax deductions. I likely won't let him file my taxes.

So I was going to switch to a high deductible health insurance starting July 1. I had two more days to decide. Tonight, I decided at least for the rest of this year to stick with the co-pay system. Cause I know with the high deductible I was probably about to have to pay $2000-3000 in July.

Back from my doctors appt. Her exam showed no areas of concern but I will be getting an MRI and genetic testing likely in July and depending on genetics results the next steps could go a couple of ways. Now I’m home an hour early and going to use that gift time to read.

I really am liking #SecondShotatLove except for the revenge angle. It's misplaced and feels like a tack on.

America is hell right now. I admit I don't watch or read the news much anymore but one thing is constant, it always gets worse.

For my appointment with the high risk specialist moved up to tomorrow. I just expect a lot of discussion and setting up appointments for future.

Rushing to Zumba class and have two different socks on. Monday.

Finished #TheHauntedPalace. If I was in a better headspace I might have enjoyed it more but it was just okay for me. The last few episodes were hard for me to get through. The FL was a bit boring. Why was the blind shaman allowed to live SO MANY TIMES?? Onward.

Whew. Just had the first video chat with the parents since my sisters diagnosis. That was hard.

Damn...that truck of doom shared the beejeezus out of me and I knew it was coming! Not sure I will ever get used to those. #OurUnwrittenSeoul
