Hello there everyone, I hope that your Friday the 13th is all going on a positive note. Here at Lovejoy JUnction things are going good. The only thing that is out of order is that Lil Keith is hurting from football practice. It just started on Monday and they practiced Monday through Thursday from 6:30 pm til 8 pm most nights. Monday through Thursday it was his legs hurting. They really put the guys through the paces. He has not run that much in his entire life I don't think. On Wednesday and Thursday they started tackling the pads. Today his shoulders and neck are hurting him. I have massaged his neck and given him a warm compress as well as some Ibuprophen. The twins are their jolly selves. After Keith gets home from work I am off to give plasma and stop by the local Aldi on the way home. Aldi is having a great sale on chicken breast at $1.69 a pound. They also have mangos, blueberries, and avocados on sale. I hope to pick up some of each. Avocados are only 49 cents each and that is a huge sale! I might pick up enough to freeze some. I am not sure what we will do this evening. Probably just watch tv and veg out. After giving plasma and grocery shopping I am pretty beat. By the time I get home and unload and put away groceries I will be ready for a shower and bed. How is your Friday the 13th going?

@rebelann Did it cool off for you? It rained last night and dropped the temps and the humidity for us here today.

@rebelann Last night it did nothing but rain here. Started in the late afternoon and rained all night long into the morning. Didn't stop till around 8 am. We were in a flash flood warning for most of the night. Today it is hot and humid outside.

It did for a few days @Shellyann36 but today it's supposed to get up to 99(f) which means it'll be dryer, I can handle that.

I hope he will be okay. I'm sure football practice is harder than anything he's done in his life, and it will take a bit to get used to it. Those are good deals at Aldi. I had a good day. My thoughts were on my older son all day, as it was his birthday.

@just4him I wish I could tell you how to solve your problems with your son. My 26 year old seems to be avoiding me at the moment and I don't know why.

@Shellyann36 I hope he did too, but I'll probably never know. Thank you.

As soon as my daughter gets home from her friends house today I am planning for us to go to Aldi's and Walmart. Yesterday I dropped my daughter and her friend off at a friend's birthday party for a camp out last night and movies today. I went geocaching after and found some amazing spots to hike.

Avocados were on sale also at our local Aldi, I bought 2 pounds for 1.99$, we have eaten the last one for lunch. In a whole it has been a very nice Friday 13th.

@LadyDuck have you ever frozen avocados? I have frozen some of ours and I am not sure how they are going to turn out.

@LadyDuck I looked it up online. Seems pretty straight forward.

@Shellyann36 No, I never tried to freeze avocados, they are available all the year round and they are very cheap at Aldi.

My younger son played football in Jr. High, high school, and college. It is a grueling sport, and I hope Lil Keith recovers quickly. I feel the same from my new gym. It was a beautiful day here without incidence.

@DianneN With the start of this week, he is doing just fine. I think he just had to work out the couch potato legs he had developed over the summer. Glad you are having a good day.

The day was okay for me. Had to go to the DMV to renew my driver's license. Was in and out of there in less than 10 minutes. That was weird for a Friday! Usually it is packed to the rafters and you wait at least an hour!

@ElusiveButterfly I am so glad you didn't have to wait long. Our DMV is always slammed packed full and we have to wait forever.

Nothing eventful on our Friday the 13th, and lucky for us on that since we were in Cozumel, Mexico...and I suppose if something WERE to happen, it'd be there.

@porwest I am glad nothing crazy happened while you were there. Might not have been the best time for Friday the 13th kind of luck to come crashing down.
