Stars glad your afternoon will be quiet

Dianah that is nice that you'll be doing the music for their wedding

Tweety that is shocking that there has been so little progress on his condo in 8 months

NJ22 I understand wanting to avoid certain offices, I used to work for a local medical group, was not a good experience and I avoid their providers if possible

Ado hope the conference is good

Work ended up being busier than expected, bunch of faxes and emails at the end of the day made getting out of work early a bit tricky. The hour long meeting didn't help either

After work decided to skip the library board meeting, figured having 2 meetings in 1 night was too much.  Did attend the Zoom meeting, one of my groups wants to start using a texting program.  Presentation was typical IT, too much information too fast, and I was too tired to take most of it in.  Rest of the evening just exercised and took it easy

Wonder if I'm doing too much at once and starting to burn out.  Will have to keep an eye on that

Today hopefully will be easier at work, not much on the schedule and no meetings and no need to leave early.  After that nothing except a haircut

Should be a nice day, in the low 70s with no rain expected

The effects of the Prednisone on my joints was MAHvelous, but they have started twinging again 🙁. Nothing severe, but I again have a hitch in my git-along.

 I am still QUITE itchy on my neck, shoulders, and EARS! I wrote doc a message and asked if I needed more Prednisone or something else. There is nothing to see, which is why I didn't just make an appointment. There is just redness where I have been scratching. 

I had my alarm set for 8 AM but I must've reached up and turned it off at some point, Next thing I knew it was 11 AM and BiL had left me a message to come let him in so he can turn on the washer and make sure there will be no leaking. They already had the 3" pipe buried, and then BiL later told me I was good to go, and do as many loads of laundry as I want. Well, I DON'T 'want', but may have some to do regardless of my 'desire' to just let it all  go, instead.

Nannie has slept through all of the bull-dozing work outside the back door of her room. NICE! I will have to go get her up soon. It would be so nice if Chatty CG would arrive ON TIME instead of the perpetual 20 minutes late.

Not sure yet what I will be doing today, except stay upstairs, out of sight and out of mind of Nannie. Right now I am contemplating getting dressed and making a 2nd cup of coffee.

Nannie is so happy with the clothes I put on her, that she keeps showing me how the colors of her jerseys coordinate. 🙄 .....As if I didn't know. I just keep responding each time, "Yes, it's pretty." 

I started a laundry....Nannie's bedding has been soaked through, because she made her bed and then sat back down on top of it, with her still wet pj's. The urine spots on all sheets and blankets are bigger than a 20" pizza, so it'll all have to be laundered. *sigh*

Aside from laundry, there's more dishes to wash, and since it is Thursday, I have to get the trash and bring the bin out to the end of the driveway. Whoever labeled this as an afternoon off.....?.....because there ain't nuthin' like ANY  free time to lollygag, just more chores. 

Haven't heard yet from older brother re his liver biopsy. 

SIX HOURS LATER:

Chatty CG was 20 minutes late, but at the end of her shift she stayed over 1/2 hr, so I guess it all comes out in the wash. Speaking of which I remembered to put the wet load in the dryer and start another load when I got home. Hopefully it will all be dry so I can make Nannie's bed up before she goes to bed.

I had gone to Harris-Teeter and picked up MORE yogurt and some other stuff. When I got home I looked online and there was a message that my doc had called-in another round of Prednisone, and told me to try Allegra for the itchiness, as it would not make me tired. So I went back out to the Walmart Pharmacy to get the meds. So much for a quiet afternoon off. MAYBE things will work out better tomorrow. SiL is going to come over and get Nannie bathed and dressed and take her to daycare. I do want to get up early enough so I can putter and dawdle and get some more sorting/donating/and pitching things out. 

I'm pretty tired, so I'ma quit yakking and git along now.

Hello!

We returned the RV to storage today, then ate lunch at the Greek restaurant.  Then when we got home, I drove over to the dentist's, to pay my small portion of the bill.  Heh.  They are CLOSED through June 2.  Oh well.  When I got home, I took a nap (as I'd had 3.5 hr sleep during the night), and after I got up, I made the "beef" stroganoff (using plant-based protein) -- the recipe calls for shredded cabbage instead of noodles, so is low-carb! -- and a pumpkin bread, to use up the can of pumpkin left-over from the fall cooking/baking.  I ALWAYS like pumpkin bread!  So, soon dh and I will eat the stroganoff and have pumpkin loaf/bread for dessert.  🙂

We were invited to a house jam next weekend - a campout (or you can just go for the day).  Jamming will be outside (It's a ranch property, about an hour away).  BUT, forecast is for it to be 87 degrees.  The ppl state they have "plenty of shade," and we are invited to float in the pool if we want...  Now, if we were at a festival, we would forego jamming during the heat of the day, and pick it up (play on words, there, LOL!) as the day cooled off.  But to drive out and be available to pick in the heat of the day, isn't what I think we will want to do, unfortunately.  It is SO nice of ppl to open their homes to jammers, and we like to support that!  But maybe another time...

We have not yet practiced music for the wedding (other than two songs last night).  Most of the songs on the list we could probably easily do, we just feel better brushing up on 'em.

Have a good evening!

Made it to Tulsa last night without much trouble. Today's events at the convention were interesting. Walked to a café for lunch with our pastor and her husband. Unfortunately I wore flip-flops and had a couple of stumbles that left me with a bloody big toe. Anyway, first day down.

I can't believe that since one of the main reasons I went out to Harris-Teeter was because Nannie was down to 2-3 cups of yogurt left, and,,,, so naturally what did I completely forget to get? Yup I failed to get more yogurts,

We watched the show on  HGTV, last night "Castle Impossible' or something like that. I REALLY enjoy that show!
