Good morning!

It's a gorgeous morning here. The air is filled with cottonwood fluff, the mock orange are in bloom, and the birds are chattering. I discovered there are four big sparrows' nests under our deck - it's like a sparrow condo complex under there.

• office work - bills & banking
• tidy up main floor
• work with horses
• someone from US Cellular will be here installing an antenna this afternoon - we're trying to fix our lousy internet speed & cell reception
• water inside & outside plants
• do a quick inventory of the freezer & pantry
• dinner: pasta/zoodles with roasted broccoli, peas, and cashew alfredo sauce

Anyone heard from Jen? I haven't seen her on here for a few days. Hope all is well.

Keeping an eye on the weather - sounds like we're going to get walloped with rain tomorrow and Wednesday

[Jean in Newcastle]

Did my PT exercises.  I'm doing all of them instead of just "this week's" exercises so it takes quite a bit of time.

washed, dried and put away dishes, knives and pans

wiped down counters, stove and microwave

brought up a load to fold and put away later.

load #1 for today is in the washing machine

[TheReader]

Grabbing a snack and then will send the "don't forget, early registration ends this month" email and start scheduling 2nd grade science. 

[Selkie]

Did horse chores. It's another 90 degree day, ugh.

Antenna is installed. It worked out well - the guy did not have to be in the house at all.

Ordered some spray bottles.

I changed my mind on dinner. It's too hot for pasta, so we're going to grill veggie burgers with baby potatoes and corn on the cob.

[Jean in Newcastle]

folded and put away one load of laundry

Load #1 is in the dryer

Load #2 is in the washing machine

filled the bird feeder for the pigs with wings.

did some bunny cleaning

Howdie, happy Monday.

Did not really sleep last night other than an hour or two here and there.  Trying to catch up on work, still getting distracted, but making some progress.

Been at my computer all day so far, working and checking what's going on in the world.  Still have several things I want to send out today.

I have a TKD class and belt test this evening, followed by more work.

I have been completely ignoring my kids, who are content to quietly play on their electronics and watch TV.  This is why I really need them to be in summer camps through June.  It is such a busy work season that I can't fool around doing kid stuff.

Hoping to do my walking this evening, though my boss is getting on my case about being behind on some items ....

 

[Selkie]

Made a pitcher of tea

Got dinner things out of the freezer

Ordered a huge amount of blueberries (to be delivered in July)

Finally got around to splitting the big bottle of arthritis pills for dog

Saw pictures of the bear that was roaming around on the boys' college campus today

Going out to feed horses now

[Jean in Newcastle]

The LL Bean return is ready to take to UPS.  Probably tomorrow.  I don't want to go out just to go there.

Called the Chairman of the board and had a good talk.  Had to light a fire under his butt.  😉  I guess that's my job as director. . .    Hopefully he meets the deadline I set for him!

Now for a snack. 

[TheReader]

...had the snack (triscuits & cheese)
...scheduled out the 2nd grade science; it's a good year, I'm excited for their stuff!
...wrote the "don't forget early registration" email for current parents; cannot locate where I hid the list of interested parties, so will send the parent email in the morning, and the interested parties email the next day (I want to reach out to current parents first), but both emails are written ready to add addresses & click send
...dh is finishing up dishes
....going to walk down and check the mail, as email says a package was delivered

[ScoutTN]

Failed to get a pool reservation for Wed, but we're on the wait list. I set an alarm to remind me about signing up tomorrow for Thursday. 

Arranged transportation for something later in the week. 

Talked with my mom

 

Next up:

Log my tutoring session.

Take a walk with dd and the dog. ✅ 

Double check the calendar for the next few days. Busy!! ✅

Venting.

Spent my walk thinking about an email I received today. Earlier this week, I expressed a concern. The reply was polite, but patronizing and dismissive. The person in leadership does not have certain insights and knowledge that I do, but am not free to share. I resent being lectured to and I know way more about the issue at hand than he thinks I do. But I have concluded that pursuing the issue will not help. So I will continue to try to address the problem obliquely and send a polite "Thank you for your reply." which doesn't address the tone or substance of the email I received. Argh! 

All done. Thanks for listening.
