And still more ramblings

 Hosting dinner means you shop and cook, and you clean the house before everyone arrives.  Then you clean the house after everyone leaves.  But spending time with my kids is so worth it. House is back to normal … for now. And I’ve got leftovers, so I won’t have to cook …

On September 13 the Mets hosted an old timers game, Team Shea Stadium vs Team Citi Field. We weren’t home that day, so we DVR’d the game and watched it yesterday.  Such memories!  Piazza, Franco, Granderson, Leiter, Santana, Dickey, Agbayani…Bobby Valentine doing his shtick …and a moment of silence for Davey Johnson …

Current team is still hanging in for the wild card.  Last night’s game … ugh .  

The season ends in just a few days, on the 28th.  We will see what happens …

Looks like the Yankees clinched a playoff spot.

I was in the cat food aisle at the supermarket and had an interesting conversation.  The guy is two years older than me, celebrated his 11th birthday the day the Mets won the 1969 World Series.  We talked about the Mets and music and other memories. 

Hurricanes Umberto? It’s a possibility. But it sounds like the storm won’t hit the US mainland. But we will  see rain today.   We need the rain, but … yuck.  I really want cool, crisp fall days.  Can’t wait to wear my new fall clothes.

Buying clothes is such a different experience than it was.  I’ve lost 15 pounds since October 2024,  a total of 125 pounds since I started medication in April 2022. I like what I see in the mirror now … I’m still not at my ideal weight, but what I weigh now … I have not seen this number on my scale since college.

I’ve been walking and doing chair yoga, but my sister thinks I should go back to Planet Fitness and do strength training.  I haven’t been to the gym since Covid.  Maybe she’s right.
