Date Day

Double workout yesterday -- run in morning, hike in evening. My shoulder is no worse for wear -- not feeling great, but improving. I'm going to keep the acupuncture and chiropractic appointment on Tuesday regardless of pain level. My neck is off and I'm getting quick bursts of virago occasionally -- he should be able to fix it.

Lunch with my casual friend was fine. She's nice, but we don't seem to flourish in a friendship or conversation. 

Today is a date day with hubby. Lots of errands together while we drop dogs at groomers and then home for a lunch date. We're trying a new local restaurant each week or so. 

I made the viral recipe for "lettuce." Have you seen it? Iceberg, lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper. Mix in one bowl. It's surprisingly good and flavorful. Perfect as a base for protein mixed in or serve along side a steak.

Finished 2 Stephen King books and that completes my summer Stephen King book flight. I reread most of "The Stand" -- it was too depressing and I stopped about 3/4 of the way (it was 1200 pages).

Good, but too much King
ick in the story. If you know,
you know.

Best of the 3 -- really
enjoyed it. Clever story,
no ick.

I have a bunch of options for a next read. I'm happy to be finished with Stephen King. I don't expect to read him again anytime soon unless he writes more fantasy books. He was a favorite author growing up, but it's not holding up for me now.

Hope you have a good day. Later gators.
