Nov. 17: A beautiful week in C.C.

The wi-fi was down last night so I didn't get to put in my weekly blog until this morning. Good thing to do while I'm waiting 30 minutes for my thyroid pill to digest.

Our temperatures here have been in the lower 80's all week. A cold front came thru and now the day temp's are in the 60's. People are rushing to local retail stores to buy warmer clothes. Larry and I are still in t-shirts - Larry's still in shorts , I'm in jeans. Suppose to be in the 70's all this week with Thursday being around 81.

We both went into a local temp agency Tuesday and completed the paperwork and tests required. Larry got an assignment Wednesday morning to unload a truck. He and a couple other guys showed up but the truck didn't. He got paid two hours to do nothing. Today he's going to go to O'Reilly auto parts store by us to apply for a delivery job.

This morning I got a call to work 3 weeks for an oil company in Alice (about 50 miles west of here). I took it and it starts Wednesday. I'll have to get up at 6 am (that's in the morning--AAAGGGHHH), eat breakfast and drive west by 8:00. That will be an adjustment. I'll let you know how all that goes in next week's blog.

Saturday was a pot luck dinner at the club house. Not a lot of people but lots of really good food. I took a spaghetti casserole.

Yesterday we took the bikes over to Ocean Dr. to ride the sidewalk along the shore. Larry had to pump up my tire before we left and it was flat again by the time we got there. So we walked for 20 minutes and then sat and watched the kids in the skateboard park (and BMX bikes that weren't suppose to be there). Got up and walked some more.

Because it was my birthday, we went to Niko's Steak House. I had the Margarita Chicken (image that) which was wonderful. Larry had the usual prime rib. We both split a dessert of 1001 choc. chip 3 layer choc. cake. I'm not sure there were that many choc. chips in the icing but we definitely got our share of chocolate. Came with a scoop of ice cream too.

Then instead of exercising like we should have, we vegged out and watched Dallas finally win a game.

Since we're not doing too much new and exciting, I'll probably just wait until Sunday nights to update the blog. If something major happens between Sundays, I'll let you all know.
