Susan in TN Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Good morning! I turned off my alarm and slept an extra half hour. I can hardly believe I slept that long! It's been a difficult morning - I had a dream that we were in our old house in The Big City and dh was in it - it's the first time I remember dreaming about him. My college roommate responded to my month-old messenger message and so that brought up all kinds of feelings, and a friend is coming by today with all the stuff they cleaned out of dh's office so it feels like today is just starting out very hard. Good thing there is Coffee! COFFEE!!☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ And this is the best Booya/h in the whole world because it is a COFFEE Booya/h!! (Imagine, if you will, yours truly planting a flag that says "Booya/h" in big, bold letters and a cup of COFFEE under it! on the Rocky summit of.... The tall craggy mountain in the middle of the ITT Island, where we have our lodge. This lodge is in the middle of a forest with hardwood floors and throw rugs and huge stone fireplaces and wrap around porches with comfy Adirondack chairs. This is what I'm talking about.) (I think my imagination is getting the better of me).

Susan in TN Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) We are doing this piece in the orchestra concert next week. Just beautiful. I love Elgar. The last 2 minutes of the piece are a couple of the most thrilling minutes of music I've ever played. It was written in the aftermath of WW1, and was his last notable work.

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Worked for another full hour on one of the big hydrangea bushes. It’s now 2/3 done instead of 1/3 but Susan had better not heckle it for being lopsided. It’s doing it’s best and it started to rain so I came inside. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servant4Christ Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 R&S called me back today. Not only did the nice man tell me where to look for the little note in my TM that this type of problem will now be popping up (only if divisible by 25) and explain to me precisely which steps Oldest should take to solve it... He then went the extra mile and actually had an answer to a side question I didn't really expect an answer for! He literally found/asked one of his coworkers who taught 5th grade math for 10+ years and was able to answer. That is just AMAZING customer service! 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Good morning! I took the pup out for his morning constitutional in the drizzle and since then have been trying to identify a bird that was chirping early this morning. I got a video of the sound but can't ID it so far. It wasn't in the Cornell Labs youtube. It sounds like tweet tweet-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi-chi Coffee! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!~D I slept till 8:30. I was pretty wiped out. I probably worked 13 hours a day every day last week getting all this testing nonsense done. But, I think I’ve gotten done what I need to do, so next week may be better. Today, grocery store. DD1’s birthday present was a set of nails, so I gotta take her to the nail place and Baby needs a pair of tennis shoes, so I will go to he shoe store. DH is dealing with my “garden”. I planted lettuce and never ate it because I realized I hate that kind of lettuce. But my carrots are growing great. So, we’re leaving the carrots and he’s prepping to plant the tomatoes and cucumbers that I bought last weekend. And basil. I bought a beautiful basil plant. It smells so good. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Well, I ordered a new phone. Thursday, my phone died. I was waiting for the girls at piano lessons and had used it. And then….it died. No reason at all. I lost everything on it. Fortunately, my contacts and such are all on Google, so all that stuff was saved, but everything else, and a lot of work related stuff was on that phone, I hadn’t had a chance to get it off and into Drive…. all gone. I was so upset. So, I got a new phone. Didn’t have it in me (or my wallet) to get what I really wanted, which was a nice Samsung Galaxy. I got a Motorola G Power. I’ve only had Motorolas and they are fine. DH and DD both have iPhones, but I prefer the Androids. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) I also snuck a John Grisham novel into the order.😜 Easter Vacation is coming and I want something to enjoy. Right now I am slogging through a biography of Robert E. Lee, but I also picked up Andrew Breitbart’s “Righteous Indignation “, which is entertaining and I’m also reading “Empire Falls” by Richard Russo. A friend recommended “Hillbilly Elegy” by J.D Vance, so that is waiting for me. I am not starting that one until I finish something else. Also, we had a big conversation about Stalin today at breakfast, and I remembered I had Massie’s “Nicholas and Alexandra” that I never read, so I got that and put it on the “to-be-read” pile.

Susan in TN Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 It's been a cold and cranky day. Obviously I need some chocolate, but I'm trying to eat well after yesterday's feasting. Oh wait - I still have some sugar free hot chocolate mix. I'll go with that. I need to send someone a WhatsApp message and am in major avoidance mode. I found a family-run company that will custom-size and upholster a loveseat for a fairly reasonable price. Major down side is that they are in CA, so shipping will probably add quite a bit to the cost. When were those gas prices supposed to go down? What's good on TV tonight? I have Prime, Netflix, Peacock, and Disney+. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 We went out to dinner last night for my brother's birthday. We were supposed to be going somewhere half-way between mom's place and ours but we ended up going to somewhere much closer to moms. I told dh that it was closer to her, but he didn't believe me until we were making the drive out there. Not a huge deal except we got torrential rain that I had to drive home in the dark. Which I HATE. I have trouble distinguishing taillights from street lights in torrential rain in the dark, which can lead to obvious problems. We made it home okay though. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really seems like spring today. Sunny and mid-60s. I really can't get outside for much, unfortunately, because there are Things. Gotta get lunch, then drive the Three Youngers to a Scout project, then People are coming to drop off boxes, then Book Club with The Ladies of Grief, then pick up Kids from project, then home hopefully for the night.

Critterfixer Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Afternoon. I've been grilling most of the day, so I smell like smoke--applewood and mesquite to be precise. Working on some writing now and staring at two art pieces that I need to work on this week, and one to finish if I can. It's a lovely sunny day, and many of my tomatoes have sprouted. I'm considering trying to do some of the cherry tomatoes in hanging buckets this year for fun since they nearly all sprouted and I'll have extra to work with. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
