Yay for summer dolcrums

We actually got a few, blessed inches of rain this past weekend, so it hasn't been as hot as it could be. Not enough to increase the water levels on nearby reservoir lakes, but enough to take us out of drought conditions and decrease the wildfire risk somewhat.
I've managed to lose a whopping *3* pounds in the last 6 months, and while I am pleased the scale is going in the right direction, I wish it would go FASTER. All I had to do was start exercising consistently again, and switch from Gatorade in the mornings to water, and stop eating those little free corn muffins they offer at Jason's Deli.Great lifestyle changes, but not enough to drop the weight my doctor and I agree should not be there. Time to STOP binging on the stupid corn chips, increase the intensity of my workout again, and temporarily eat less. Damned corn chips - there is a reason farmers feed them to cattle right before the animal is sold. It's gets the animal up to 'market weight' FAST. I don't WANT to go up to 'market weight'! UGH.
The rose died. This is the 3rd rose we've managed to kill pretty quickly. Gonna need to do some research to find out what we're doing wrong, because they DO grow here - quite well.
The catnip is doing well, but neither cat is overly impressed. Livia doesn't car one little bit about catnip and would rather nibble on the other plants, thank you, and Hairy will eat a leaf if you pinch it off and offer it to him. But not a second one. Stupid cats. On to trying cat grass...
