Mondays. 🐶

David Coverdale has a smooth voice

🌱 Enjoy. The glitz and the glory of the late-season hydrangea…

Penguins made up for Pitt’s failure today.

Been on gluten free, dairy free, low fermentation regimen for over 2 weeks now. My body has been no less disruptive with the change of diet. Very frustrating. Maybe my bacterial overgrowth test coming up this week will yield some answers. (My regular cancer scans return in mid-November.)

Removed St. John’s wort along this front walk, and put back in some boxwoods. 🌱

Had a horrible health Friday. I hope Saturday turns out differently.

The Penguins needed that win last night. Hopefully a building block to better things.

A lot of glorious weather mornings this week in the Keystone State. 🌱🍁

🌱. Trying to make it smaller without the ‘butchered’ look.

The lyrics to FFDP’s ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ hit just right a lot of days. 🎶

Today was tiring.

Happy Monday.

Go Steelers.

Go Pitt.

Caffeine makes EVERYTHING better.

Everyone loves walkies 🐶

I knew the Brewers were good. Didn’t know they were ‘sweep the Dodgers’ good.

Looking forward to next month’s weekend in the big city: 1) Jack White 2) Pitt/ Florida State 3) Penguins/Senators Will be blowing a lot of money on concert/sports swag.

Great tune.

Got 2 more hours of sleep than usual, and am more exhausted than usual. Can’t win some days. 😐

Big anniversary today. 2 decades now, and she is still sticking around. ❤️

🌱 Dug out some beautiful St John’s wort clumps along a sidewalk. Customer didn’t like how ‘leggy’ they were. Going to install boxwoods next.

It’s hard to beat a couple good clumps of sedum in October. 🌱

Ok, Stafford and Allen. Entertain me with good football tonight. 🏈

Getting an ultrasound for my liver today. This should be a big nothing burger, but it’s hard to blasé and nonchalant about these things.

Got the ocean done.

Physically, I’m pretty pissed off about how this whole year has gone for me. And this extra stress of the fascists making America weaker every single day doesn’t help my headspace either.

🌱 I went with Lenten roses and coral bells to finish it off.

🌱 Made a bed around a paperbark maple. Will add perennials this weekend.

On the advice of my gastroenterologist, I’m making changes to attempt to make my life easier. Going totally gluten free and swearing off all dairy. Low fermentation diet as well. Just doing a low residue diet for the past decade has not been working.

Drizzly damp Sunday walkies. 🐶🐶

2 games. 2 wins. Good start to the season.

Did Pitt deserve that win? Unsure, but I’ll take it.

🎶

Gonna ignore all the postgame analysis today. Not in the mood.

Football loss. Boo.

From the #LetsGoPens netherworld, new victory helmet just dropped (w/ rare appearance by 87).

Some AM commute tunes: Dinosaur Pile-Up - It’s Tricky Hollywood Undead - From the Ground Kiss - Lick It Up Discrepancies- Can You Feel It? Corey Taylor - Home Eva Under Fire - A Violent End

Flyers. #LetsGoPens

This is a win. 🐧🐧🐧🐧

It’s nice to score first. 🐧

🌱. Late-season hydrangea.

Maybe more tattoos would fix me.
