Morning all.
Ceejay – Glad you’re getting caught up on sleep and things around the house. I caught up on 3 months worth of balancing the checkbook last week and it felt good. Sheesh, sorry you’re having plumbing issues at your place – hate the cleanup. A couple inoperable electrical outlets are not as bad, but I hope it all gets resolved soon!
Michelle – Glad you also got out in the yard for some outdoor time. Sorry your HMO is no longer available. I agree w/ Annie – PPO sounds like the better alternative. If I were 10 years younger or more I might do the HSA plan, but once I started adding everything up with the prescriptions, etc., it seemed too iffy. I was comfortable with what my past expenses had been, but last year this time I was having trouble with my foot and so I was feeling pessimistic and anticipating more expenses, and now w/ the BP, and who knows what would come up w/ bf’s health…I just prefer the PPO, in spite of the incentives our company uses to try and lure folks to the HSA. I think it’s best for pretty healthy people who normally don’t have a lot of medical expenses beyond their wellness visits.
Mel – Yeh, I agree – Happy’s hubby needs a fanny pack or one of those traveler’s vests with a lot of pockets, LOL. Of course Bf enjoyed mowing over the one flower bed yesterday, although he mentioned some of the foliage did get hung up in the blade. Oops. But I like that the leaves will be easier to rake or blow from those areas without all the foliage to get caught up in.
Shad – Thanks for posting the pics of the drip rock with it’s very own environment. Nature has such a way of adapting to conditions, doesn’t it?
Hope you’re well-rested after those night shifts!
Happy – Glad you’ve got plenty of house showings, and I hope at least one turns into serious interest, i.e., an OFFER!! Agree w/ everyone else re the cat – bring her with and she’ll adjust. (Do I have the gender correct?) And Shad’s right – you have other buildings where she can get her “outside time” safely.
Annie – By the time you read this your exam may already be over – I’m sure it went well for you. When will you find out your grade? My friend got the grade on her final paper (50% of her grade) and she got an A and so she was able to maintain a decent grade point average for purposes of her college degree.

Nothing much to report.
Yesterday I planned to go to an exercise class after work, but bf had plans and needed the car, so I did a BE workout in the basement. I was sore from the yardwork and I felt old and decrepit. But at least I moved. But I was glad I wasn't feeling old and decrepit in a class in front of other people and those blasted mirrors!!
After that I watched tv and read all evening.
It’s so difficult for me to get myself out of bed now. I think my neighbor is leaving the house later, and so I’ve been waking up (having been woken by his car leaving the garage) about 5 minutes before the alarm. At that point, it’s still dark, so I hit the snooze a couple times and then by the time I finally drag myself out of bed, it’s getting late and I have to scramble. I kind of wish my neighbor was still leaving about 45 min. before my alarm so I could at least pretend I’m getting more sleep, LOL, even though I’m usually not able to get back into a sound sleep.
Tonight is the movies. We’re seeing "50/50" with Joseph Gordon Leavitt, the kid from that tv show w/ John Lithgow, 3rd Rock from the Sun. He was also in a movie called "100 Days of Summer", so he has some sort of numbers thing going on with his movie titles.
Okay, time to post and be productive. Ha, my co-worker was just taken away to "jail". Our fundraising kicked off last week and this is one of the popular events -paying to have someone "arrested", and they have to sit in "jail" (an actual enclosure in our atrium area) for 10 min. or bail themselves out or buy a "get out of jail" card. Maybe I should have the boss arrested.
