Back…had my (carefully calculated) lunch, and am quite pleasantly full, thank you very much!
Sooooo….sounds like a nice plan for the BBQ,
Rosey. I quite agree that these sorts of things need to happen while our elders are still with us and able to enjoy themselves, as well as our having the chance to learn whatever we can from them while they are still able to share information about family history and such.
Freda, sorry that you’re working this weekend, but then, I was sorry to be working all week. Just can’t win, can we? Sounds like you’re in the same weather pattern as we are here in Massachusetts. We had a humdinger of a thunder and lightning fest last night too. Or so dh says. Me? I slept right through it, and would’ve slept through the alarm clock this morning, as well, if dh hadn’t given me a shake to see if I was still breathing. Gave him something of a scare, apparently. Well, when I sleep poorly on and off for a while, the moment of reckoning always comes sooner or later, and I have to catch up somehow. I guess last night I did some catching up. I got 8 solid hours of sleep, which is highly unusual for me. If I get six, I count it as a good night’s sleep.
K31 – Yup. That was my cloud over your pool. I sent it away with instructions to give you a holler. I figured you were already wet….
Just you watch out, though, okay? The way you’re living in that pool of yours these days, I fear that you’re going to emerge all withered up. Try to pace yourself….
PT…omigawd. TOO much activity! Once I am retired, I swear I’m going to spend a couple of months only getting out of bed to grab a shower and change the sheets. Uh. No….I guess what I
really want to do is spend the first couple of months at the beach. I think that’s going to be plan # 1. My fingers, toes, and eyes are all crossed for you about the job – they’d be awfully stupid not to hire you. Sounds like they’d save some serious money just on benefits, plus have someone in there who knew what they were about, rather than some lil’ ole gal who’s just getting her feet wet, so to speak.
Bobbi, don’t you just HATE it when the publishers do that???? Bring out an old book with a new cover and trick you into buying it all over again? That makes me SO.
MAD. Would’ve ruined my day, too! I used to read a lot of Jonathan Kellerman’s books and then started getting away from them. Have you ever read anything by John Lescroart??? I’ve read all of his, and have even read a couple twice when I didn’t have a new book handy. I love his books.
Gayle, does your hospital ever ask for any employee input? I mean, maybe you should suggest your preferences and make an argument for your plan being the more efficient one. You never know – they might very well pay attention to something that they thought would increase efficiency.
Marie, I wouldn’t want to do all that exercising, even if it meant I could have an iced mocha every day. I’m wayyyyy too lazy. I’d rather go without the mocha than exercise so that I could have it. BUT – look at the difference between your picture and mine; I guess that pretty much demonstrates whose plan works the best, eh?
I still do hold out the hope that my laziness may go away of its own accord, and
without too much effort on my part…ooops, see? It (the laziness) just creeps right back in, no matter how hard I try to ignore it…
Nancy…it’s not so much “summer” per se that I have difficulty with – in fact, I love summer, and the sun, and the ocean and all – what I cannot tolerate is humidity. And I’m with you on the inability to much care what I’m wearing if I’m all hot and miserable anyway. I’m really, really glad that you’re feeling better, though…glad to see your post.
Wow,
Lyn….you’re really getting that exercise in, aren’t you? Oh, the swimming every day sounds heavenly! I’d love, love LOVE to be as near as you are to the ocean! I swear, I’d live in a little old shack if it was on the ocean!
Lynn, I certainly am hoping that all’s well on the health front – or if there is a problem, it’s one that can easily be resolved. Keep us informed, please!
Rie/Val…it IS quite a balancing act sometimes, to keep adult children from driving you crazy with their opinions about each other – and each other’s offspring. I always remind myself that when you put two of THEM in the same room, the critiquing invariably must turn to what I’M doing that irritates them. I try my best to see the humor in it because otherwise, I’d probably be in the middle of arguments with all of them most of the time.
K3, hope today was another good day!
I’m getting ready to wrap things up here for the day and head home. I’m looking forward to the next few days off, and then the WEEK off starting Monday, Aug. 8th, because
my new dgd will be here.
Have a great evening, everybody –
