Tweety hope you get that policy soon

Stars I've generally done shelter cats

Ado hope your phone problems resolve

NJ22 hope your allergies improve

Dianah glad your guitar is done

Yesterday was fairly crazy at work, more new cases in a 24 hour period than I've ever had.  Did manage to get everything done, except the one new case I got near the end of the day.  Hope today is slower, have a coworker who's going to be out another day and we need to help cover for her

Was a quiet end of the day, exercised and listened to music.  So far reducing caffeine hasn't hit me too hard yet.   Might be helping me stay calmer

Today after work the church group is getting together to go out to eat

Think it will be in the 60s today

Good morning!

Joe, hope your day goes better. 

J22, that sucks about the allergies zapping you're energy.  Hope the conference goes well.

Speaking of coffee, I was listening to the science and nutrition podcast "Zoe" and the topic was "Is coffee healthy?" and it turns out it does have antioxidants, polyphenols and other good things that are healthy.  They did say individual response is variable with no two people reacting the same.  I will not be giving up coffee but sometimes I do feel I drink too much and would like to limit it to just two cups a day and not too late.

Didn't sleep well again, but got up at 5:10 and gave up.  Did some laundry and went for an hour walk outside.  It's quite warm and muggy.  Need to do some housework, cooking and will go to hot yoga.  I'm going to the dentist for work the cavity and get a new crown and I'm not looking forward to it.  Last time I bit my lip really good when I was number and was in a lot of pain.  But Tylenol and ibuprofen knocked it out.

Good Early Evening to y'all~

Today I vacuumed the den floor with the horrible vacuum cleaner. Hubby tried to fix it, but after 1/2 hr he threw it out the back door! ( I TOLD him we needed a new vacuum cleaner! ) So, I got the vacuum from upstairs and vac'd the den again. This vacuum works a little bit better, but that's not saying much! I see a new vacuum cleaner in my future! ?

I also have been doing laundry, currently on the third load in the dryer. I'm also washing sheets, but if I don't get them dried tonight, I can finish them tomorrow. 

Did semi-balancing ? of the checkbooks and paid bills. (ugh)

Ballgame is on at 7PM ... I guess, if it's not raining in Atlanta. We lost last night, again. Hubby is 'unkind' verbally, loudly, at the players and umpires and managers ? like it does any good. I'd hate for him to be my coach; all he can do is grouse that they can do better and how this one or that one isn't doing any good anymore, and they "don't care because they won the World Series, so now they think they don't have to try any more." Good Grief! And I say, loudly, "We already know how you feel!" 

Nannie had to interrupt a news story I was trying to listen to..."Is that man is wearing a WIG?!", and "Look at what he's dressed in!" (Way to go Nannie, I kind of wanted to hear that report. -I did not say) GADS!

The computer-guy-neighbor's supervisor is coming to his house tomorrow and will look at the ASUS computer that crapped out, and if he can, he will fix or reboot it or something. If not, it's going back to the manufacturer.

My other laptop with the dead motherboard...I have plans for it, tee-hee! After I erase/powerwash it, I will fold it in a sheet and take a sledge-hammer to it! Wheeee! w00t! Somehow even the idea of smashing something feels GOOD! 

Have to check the dryer to see if it is time to fold clothes. The fun never ends!

Hi. Just got back to my hotel from the conference, with a side trip to the drugstore and then a burger joint. My phone died mid afternoon, shortly after getting a message from youngest ds saying he tested positive. dh is all in a panic because groceries are low and he can't sign onto the Clicklist to order groceries. I just sent them the sign on info. My head feels so much better! Just a little popping in my ears and a voice that sounds like a rusty hinge. Conference is good but the sessions are too long : 2 1/2 hrs ea. My sciatica and bladder just can't handle that. 

I've read many articles about the benefits of coffee, but its definitely user specific. Still, I try to stay at 2 cups a day, little to none after noon.

J22, sorry to hear about your family's covid woes and you continue to feel better.

Stars, doesn't it always seems like something is broken or needs replacing?

Disappointed that on my days off I haven't gotten my homeowners insurance policy.  My current one expires on Friday.  Then I have to try to get reimbursed for the unused portion of my premium that I just paid.

The dentist was typical torture, but the post procedure pain and gum soreness isn't as bad as my other ones were.  I took ibuprofen right away.
