Being here is so relaxing for me. I feel like I’m in a different world. I keep very busy but, at the end of the day, if you asked me what I had done, I couldn’t tell you. All I know is the days fly by. I will say that Belle keeps me very busy. She went back to daycare here earlier this week. She was so excited. The minute we turned down the street, she started barking. When she came home, she slept for 2 hours straight.

I spent some time cleaning up the patio. My 2 citrus trees that I planted last year are growing well. No fruit yet, but they’re supposed to bear fruit November – March. So, they still have time. I’m hoping this year I can get an avocado tree. They were sold out last year.

I thought I was having my dental implant but it turns out the appointment was for a CAT scan and consult. I was disappointed! I’m having it done Thursday. According to the dentist, it will take less than an hour. We’ll see!

Belle and I are becoming regulars at Panera Bread. We’ve gone there for breakfast, dinner and just a snack. She is very good. After she has something to eat, she just lays near my chair and watches everything going on. She has definitely calmed down somewhat.

The other night, as Belle was getting in her crate, she stopped and just stared at the floor. At first, I didn’t see anything. Then, I saw what she saw, a lizard. My first thought was to yell and run out of the room. But, I couldn’t leave Belle there. I had a towel draped over her crate to protect her from direct ac. I threw the towel over the lizard and picked it up and flushed the lizard down the toilet in the powder room. I was afraid if I tried to make it to the door, I might drop it.

I’m starting acupuncture on Monday. I think acupuncture wii definitely help my back issues. I’m looking forward to it. I’m thinking of twice a week to start, but I’ll see what they think is best.

I scheduled the flu shot today at Walgreen’s. When I got there, they told me their system had been down all week. I couldn’t get the shot. Believe that? I went to Publix and got it there. I’ve always gone to Publix and don’t know why I decided to go to Walgreen’s. At least, In 2 weeks, I’ll get the Covid booster.

Happy Waffle Day! Last week, I had planned on making pumpkin waffles. Unfortunately, when I went to open the can of pumpkin 🎃, I couldn’t find the can opener. It’s probably packed in a box at Maritime Landing with everything else!😉 I bought another can opener! Tomorrow will be pumpkin waffles for sure!

Love to all, (Auntie) Beverly
