Sunny and 70 degrees here; really it has been very nice.
Enjoyed your photos, J22. And pumpkin ginger cranberry scones sound delicious.
Tweety, I'm glad you're feeling better. It's good...
Made sure I got into the office by 8 for a zoom meeting/training. Turns out it doesn't start until 11. That's OK, glad to be here anyway and as always there is plenty to do. But I had a rough night....
Stars, how nice to have a bit of a break yesterday.
Just realized I should go move laundry around before settling in for the night.
Hope you all had good
Cooler day today (currently 63F). And currently storming. I can hear the thunder and rain out there. I am quite cold in the office, which says it is 72.2F but there is cool air blowing on me and I...
Heh. Gma always used to say "Mammyogram."
Stick to your guns about following doctor's orders after the cataract surgery.
It was suggested that I consider a defensive driving class for Twin...
Tweety, that is a long time to have to deal with those symptoms. I hope that will soon be in the past.
Those trees are pretty, J22. Like Stars, we are still having near-Summer temperatures. I...
I agree - "Yikes" to 3 hours in a dental chair.
At least the pumpkins are explained. I bought one to put by the front door. We might or might not carve it. The hospital staff are having a...
It does indeed feel good to get some things out of the house. I had a terrible dream the other night about being surrounded by piles of stuff and unable to locate anything I needed because we had so...
Very good news for today: stepson's disability was approved. This is a profound relief!
Other than that, I am ready to call it a week and move on.
Happy Friday,
DIL is indeed home. Stepdaughter isn't handling things well emotionally. I'm trying to be a voice of calm, reason, and hopefulness.
A situation at work has me angry and frustrated. I don't...
'Twas a pleasant day here, finally starting to feel more fall-like. The meeting in OKC was long but informative.
Stepdaughter kept texting, freaking out, because she thought DIL was going to be...
Joe, hope your friend gets better quickly.
Tweety, have a fun night of bowling!
Stars, hope all is well with your brother.
I'm still trying to catch up at work. I did take some Nyquil...
Hope you all have had a good weekend.
Tweety, hiring movers is a great idea, especially with that 3rd floor bit. I'm sure it will feel odd at first but it will be good to have your own space....
Ilsa has somewhat swirly/circular markings on her sides like some tabbies do. She just had a good nap and is feeling playful.
Good to have no surprises at the doctor visit. There is a Sprouts in...
Joe, a pina colada sounds good. I had a margarita at the putt-putt bar the other night and savored it. Oh, and something similar to a margarita that included habanero pepper the night before at the...
Home again and glad for it.
Hubs helped our pastor's husband get a kitten out from the inner workings of their car today and decided to bring it home. So we have a new tiny kitten. Binx is not...
Stars, I have similar thoughts about motorcycles. Such high speeds with little to protect one's body. Hubs' nephew died in a motorcycle accident at age 29. My sister's husband was hit by a dump truck...
Not sure what I did there.
So, what a day. Twin A was in an accident while driving to work. He's fine. The car is banged up, has 2 new tires, is driveable.
Tonight daughter-in-law was in a...
The conference started today. Yesterday was "just" an all-day meeting with our group of risk managers. Then dinner. We were invited to dinner tonight by a software vendor but I opted out and I've just...
It shouldn't be so hard to get refills. It shouldn't be so hard to get the refund hou deserve when the circumstances obviously support it.
When Twin A and I were living with my parents that...
Joe, congrats on meeting your weight loss goal.
Stars, sometimes we'll be sitting around in the living room and Gma will say out of nowhere, "I'm peeing." Well, OK, then. Thanks for the update...
Yes, Tweety, I'm sorry you had to cancel your trip but it seems it was the right thing at this time.
I'll join in the praise of ordinary days! My brother and I were just saying how "boring" is...
