Good morning all. It is going to be another hot one here and supposedly rain is moving in sometime today. I have to go out and run an errand at 11 am so I hope it holds off until after that. I made an appointment so hopefully won't have to wait long.
Dishes are put away and I have started a load of laundry. I swear I am going upstairs this morning and clean those bathrooms. I developed a vicious headache yesterday morning and gave up trying to get up there and do anything. I want to go up about 8 and get them done and get a shower and such to go out later.
Jean: I always do the Apple updates but not the Windows ones. I too am a bit on the slow side when it comes to the computer stuff. I can usually wade through something eventually, but technical stuff goes by me. That's what I have to do today is go to ATT for something. I could do it on the phone, but then I would probably get someone I can't understand and the ATT store is only 3 miles from here so I will go there instead. Hope everyone can meet for the birthday stuff. The kids will be here on Friday with Jay having business meetings with St Judes. I believe Thomas may be babysitting Friday evening. I may text him and find out what they are doing for dinner and if they don't have plans take the boys out for dinner.
I guess I should go and get some breakfast and put the laundry in the dryer. Have a good hump day everyone.
It didn't take long at all, but I took a shower afterwards and slipped on the tub matt because I didn't have it suctioned down after cleaning and whacked my leg pretty good. I have a lump and a bruise and it is sore as the devil this morning. Today is clean the downstairs except for sweeping, vacuuming and mopping. I will do that tomorrow.
and a few rain sprinkles from time to time. I think Mr. Sun must be on an extended vacation from my corner of the world. I went to get my nails filled this morning, then made a quick trip to the grocery store. Four bags and $52 "poorer" I headed home. Both soccer games were postponed for tonight. 
Maddy's vocal concert is at 6 so we will still go to that. 
Sorry about your leg, know that it hurts because I have done it too. Our hospital dinner was short and sweet last night! We had chicken breast, green beans, and cut up potatoes in orange, white, and purple colors. Usually they clear the tables after the main meal then serve dessert. Last night they had red velvet cupcakes already on the tables and didn't clear the tables while the speaker was speaking. She didn't talk long; the fund raiser was for special geriatric beds so she couldn't bring one to show us. They are in a psychiatric ward and she extended an invitation to anyone who would like to learn more about the facility to come and visit. Bob's mom was there to get off narcotic pain pills, so we have been there. We sell mostly birthday and sympathy cards in the gift shop. The company put in a line of 99 cent cards, but I have to buy a dozen, where I can order a half dozen of the more expensive cards. Those are $1.50 and $2.75 which I don't consider expensive compared to some of the Hallmark cards. I like to send cards so enjoy working with them. 
I get them in the laundry tub and delight in sending them down the drain. Have you ever heard of, or seen, a thunder shirt for dogs? I've seen them on pet site ads but don't know if they work. It is supposed to help dogs who get agitated when weather is changing or a storm is happening. 
We have had our IDIOT mail carrier for the last few days. When our regular guy came back after his heart attack, he told me he didn't know how long he would be able to handle working and may have to take early retirement. We could almost set a clock by him, he was so good. The IDIOT is as dependable as the weather, some days he is here around 2:30 and other days 6:00. If I want something to leave town that day, one of us takes it to the post office. I have called and complained but it doesn't do any good. 
Ian will get his driver's permit in November but is taking driver's ed. this summer. They live 9 miles from school so, of course, he wants a car asap. It's a two lane highway but a busy one.
The sun has to come out sooner or later . . . . looks like it will be later. 
I've been doing laundry and vacuumed the fur bunnies. Our vet is retiring after 55 years so we are going to his open house this afternoon. I hope the rain will let up so we can run in and out. 
Usually a guest speaker is short and sweet but not this one. 
! I hope you like your new bed. I have a "ratty" blanket I keep on top of my bed. From time to time Ernie will sleep there and always in the same spot. I had to laugh at Jack not liking decorative pillows. Bob thinks they belong on the floor so I gave up on them. 
Where are you going to cruise to next year? The anticipation in planning a trip, that you both enjoy, is fun. A dry slide sounds like one would get stuck somewhere along the way. That's a long slide!
I went to the breakfast meeting and got home at noon. We had a delicious breakfast casserole, fruit, and fruit turnovers. Bob was mowing and said he wasn't hungry for lunch so I left again to run some errands. I've done a couple loads of laundry and vacuumed the never ending fur.
