Anita, we didn't build three decks. The first one was here when we got here, but it rotted pretty quickly. The next one we built using fake wood, but it warped. If you remember, we just had it redone around the beginning of the pandemic. This guy said the problem was the foundation (or base, or whatever you call the bones of a deck), and used some of the salvaged planks and bought some new ones. It's already starting to warp.
I'm concerned if this rash turns out to be poison ivy. I read something on webmd that said not to use antibiotic ointment (which I've been slathering on as it helps with the dryness and cracking). I'd say I'll be in the clinic in the next day or two. It's been three weeks. Whatever it is, it should be gone.
Laura, I assume the rain didn't cause flooding? I'm wondering how Sherry is. I've heard that many in NJ lost power and it's not back on yet. I'm glad you got your tooth fixed and are feeling well today.
Today I did Cathe's Fit Tower Advanced: Legs, Glutes, and Core (minus the squat sections. My knee is much better, but I don't want to push it.) Then I did Qi Gong for Better Balance. I'm happy to report that this one doesn't have an extended version.
I did the long version (to make sure the whole disc is okay) and it was only 36 minutes. I liked this one better than the one I did yesterday.
I went out to fill the bird bath, and there was a purple finch sitting on the edge of it. He didn't fly away. We looked at each other for a minute, and I said hello and told him I wish I had brought my phone so I could get his picture. Since it didn't appear he was going anywhere, I set down the pitcher so I could go get my phone. And then he flew away. A couple of days ago, I had just hung one feeder and was getting ready to hang the other when a nuthatch started fluttering right beside me. He then flew off to a nearby tree. That's not the first time that has happened. It's like they see the feeder but don't notice me until they're right beside me. They're a hoot.
They are breaking ground across the street for a new spec house. This one will block our view of the pond.
Everyone have a good evening.
