Good Afternoon, Flowers! It was a typical Monday at school . . . no one seemed to remember what we had done on Friday or that there were assignments due today. The BIGGEST jerk was AWOL today so it was pretty quiet. Tomorrow is a 7:30 am staff meeting and Wed. is a 3:30-5:00 reading meeting that is a waste of time for the high school staff. I hate meetings like that!
I pulled a REAL DUMB! This afternoon I had a message to call the hospital gift shop and when I did, it seems that I had left my checkbook there on Saturday. The nice person who found it locked it up for me and the buyer knew where I worked so called me at school to let me know. I would have missed it sooner or later, but I just didn't need it over the weekend so hadn't realized I didn't have it.
The sun actually shined this afternoon! We are supposed to have 40 degree temperatures all week but we didn't make it today. I won't complain because we were 37 degrees above 0!
We got another new TV today. Bob tried a new bulb and still no picture so the store sent out a new one. Now I have to bring the VCR back downstairs and redo the timer on it. I'm getting pretty good at that!
'Gma' -- Do they use Graceland for anything or just a tourist attraction? We saw an 'Elvis' in Branson several years ago . . . we happened to be driving by when he (and a pretty woman) came out of the theater and got into a Corvette. We followed him and he must have realized it because he whipped into a shopping center, wound his way behind the stores, and left by the service entrance. We lost him in the traffic. He did look like the real Elvis, at least from a distance. So many of them look so fake. Just when you think you are done with your chores, there are always more.
Gloria -- I'm glad your hubby is doing so well after his knee surgery. I had to mark my foot with an 'X' when I had my toe surgery. I guess I'm lucky they got the right toe! Every once in awhile there is a news item about someone having the wrong limb amputated. It was nice that you could help your daughter. I like that kind of job once in awhile. I'm sure her clients appreciate her thoughtfulness. The new TV seems to be working just fine.
Bob is at church for practice and I need to put together the leftovers for supper. Have a terrific Tuesday!
Jean -- from Iowa!
