Tweety I think I've done some chickpea soup recipes before

Ado I'd be reluctant to make that call too

Stars sounds like a productive day

NJ22 I have heard of low copper but don't recall the symptoms

Yesterday overall was pretty quiet, did get busy at times but other times quiet slow.  Had time to help out at the end of the day

Rest of the day was quiet too, just exercised and took it easy.  Worked on plans for my friend B and I

Today will do bird watching.  Instead of meeting dad for lunch I will meet B at a local conservatory, one I have not been to before, and then do lunch afterwards.  Might do the cooking this evening since tomorrow could be busy, will have to see how my schedule looks

Going to be another day in the mid 50s

Was barked awake by Tinker. It was an 'alarm' telling me that the kids next door were outside bouncing on their trampoline. Saved from the danger of giggling children! I am slugging down some coffee because it is time to wake up the Nannie person. We'll see how the day goes before I plan on any task to conquer. It is overcast and in the high 50's right now. Wish I had something delightful and interesting to post, but alas.....

Two hours have passed and Nannie hasn't closed her eyes even once.

I am trying to straighten out something on-line and just getting more frustrated because due to multiple emails, I can't understand which ones apply and which ones  don't. Have I said that I hate computers and computer 'biznezz' and language? Yes, I have. I need a secretary and a manager right here at my elbow walking me through the explanations thought to be helpful and telling me which ones to ignore and/or discard. I need it to be Monday so I can phone the customer's help line system and get this krapp straightened out in my mind. ARGH and GADS! I really hate feeling so stupid.

Thursday's CG and her mom. (who works at the Sr Ctr where Nannie goes) were at a relatives house down the road....someone's b'day party..... and they came by to give nannie some cupcakes and birthday sweets. The CG said she didn't want to go back to the house they were at, and did I mind if she hung out here until her mom came back to pick her up; "I don't expect to be paid, I just find Nannie's company is better than the people over at the other place." I said fine, and I had dishes to wash and laundry to deal with, and then I went upstairs and sat down, reading, So I got about 2 hours to putter with my wifely chores and then relax, which was a nice surprise. Nannie was very animated and chatty, laughing a lot, so she didn't mind me going about my (her) business. 

Nannie's had her supper, and meds and goes to bed in 2 hours; or if, like the other night when she asked at 9 PM if she could go to bed. (I held myself back from saying with a big excited smile, "Hallelujah! You sure can go to bed now!") I think she will doze off before bedtime tonight, but as long as she is not awake and complaining about her 'neck-feet-legs, etc' hurting her. I already gave her Tylenol for her aches and pains, whether they are real or imagined, so I'm fine with waiting to put her to bed until 10 PM. She needs a different recliner , or maybe a body cast. Nah she would probably get the body cast off within an hour, she had a lot of practice and 'history' throughout her life, of taking off casts, since she was a pipsqueak.

G'day!

Stars, that was nice to have some unexpected sitting.  

Work was okay.  Started with a fall, but didn't go too bad after that.
