SIZZLIN' SATURDAY

Post by DeeClutter »

Are you 'sizzlin' today or maybe the weather is just that. Here it's cool and I even turned the heater on in our room for a short time.

DD has a webinar this morning -an extension of the classes she's taken the last two Fridays. She had a choice -she could write End of Course questions to submit to the county which some have said took them over 20 hours OR sit through a 3-hour webinar submitting questions as they go. And she gets paid for the 3 hours. Hmmm.....which to do, which to do? :? :)

I plan to work on our church's annual meeting minutes while she does that and then they will be done for the 2015 report next January.

We had planned to go to Ikea this morning, before this webinar came up. She and her co-teacher both had to take this class.

Slept pretty well last night. Was up a few times, but was able to walk around and then get right back to sleep. Have to figure out how to do that when I'm back home with dh -don't want to disturb him.

Doctor's office sent him a letter requesting to see him so he has an appointment on Monday. Mainly to update his present condition and update any medications. They don't like to prescribe meds, even if they are the same thing, until they actually see him and make sure it's the best they can do.

Good Morning!

I have been up for hours and busy. Loving not having to be out the door before 8am.

An overnight guest left this morning.
neighbours mower is in for free service. I wait for mowing to happen.
3 hours of tai chi set review, followed by bring and share luncheon. I sat out for a while in that 3rd hour. I was beyond copying any longer.
library - I had 15 min to grab books before lib shut. It will be interesting to see if a rush and grab gains better or worse choices.
stores. health food for carob and sunflower seeds. grocery for goat yoghurt and the luxury of rice crackers.
Recognised a woman - receptionist from over year ago PT. We talked quite a while.

Waving to all
Just begin.

Seems like I've spent forever trying to type up the minutes from our church's annual meeting (from January 25th). While dd worked on her webinar I was determined to finish those minutes. I really had to meld my minutes with those taken by another person and then corrections her husband made on yet another report. That was a difficult process. Think I have it now. Going to put it aside and revisit it in a day or so. But at least it's done -oh about 9 months earlier than usual. :lol: Yesterday I did the minutes from our budget meeting (earlier this month) for missions. So that's two reports done and my clerk's report is up-to-date so far for this year. Now if I can just keep that up all those reports will be done.

DD has been done for a while and I think we're going to Ikea. Want to go the back way from here and avoid I-4 if dd is agreeable.

It's quite cool for here (about 57 this morning). So I'm back to jeans and a long sleeved shirt. Have a sizzlin' day!

Is the board slow for anybody else, or is it just me? I seem to be ok other places on the net.

We had some kind of weird cold front come through. Windows are still open and fan still going. I had to put on sweatshirt because it got down to 70° inside. Yesterday we had quite a bit of rain. I should look at the weather on tv.

I did LOL and hung up. Also did a pretty big stack of work at my desk. Kitchen next.

Good morning! What an apropos title for me. We're safely in Sedona, AZ. Temps here are apparently a little above normal? I think it was 90* in Phoenix when we landed yesterday. We'd need RR to confirm all that. It's supposed to get up to 84* here today.

It is beautiful here! I was amazed at just how sunny it was yesterday as we traveled to Sedona!! Wow! I hope people here appreciate that. And the buttes and mesas are amazing, not to mention the towering saguaros. We're not in Michigan anymore! LOL! Our plane yesterday transported us from snow flurries and gray skies to amazing sunshine and clear blue skies.

Our dinner last night: In-n-Out Burgers. LOL! Dh saw it on a highway sign and got very excited, so we pulled off the freeway and had a burger for dinner. Dh is very fond of in-n-out burgers. I had a burger and a few fries - and still managed to stay within WW points yesterday.

Dh has gone for a run. I've been toodling around on this machine but am about to s2s and get ready for bfast. I've been following the news a little bit about the German flight. So sad. And it makes me wonder about mental health care in general and privacy laws. I mean, I understand and am definitely for privacy in terms of medical info. That's not really anybody else's business. But what if the medical info. reveals that someone could be potentially adversely affecting others in their job, even endangering life, depending on the job? I guess the system relies on honesty in self-reporting, but not everyone will be honest.

We don't have specific plans for today but do have some places we'd like to go, including a couple parks. I think hiking is definitely on docket for today. We forgot to bring hats, so we'll have to buy some. Also didn't pack sunscreen since our tubes were all too big. We do only carry-on.

Harmony, the board speed seems fine to me but I'm on a slow satellite link so it might be hard for me to tell!

Interesting day in Maputo. Not sure I saw much of Mozambique or even the city but what I saw was a study in contrasts. Dirt, lineups, derelict buildings. New building, opulance, energy of the youth, abundance at the market. Not sure the abundance is spread widely enough. The people were wonderful. No begging but aggressive hawkers. I'm pretty good at ignoring them. They were hawking beautiful items though and it was really tempting. Especially the textiles.

We bought one souvenir keychain and, get this, a vegetable peeler. That was at the market and the man was wandering around with a cabbage, demonstrating how great the peeler was. I bargained him down from 11 to 7. My tour mates couldn't understand why I'd buy it but I explained it was an item I'll use frequently and every time I'll use it, I'll think of my day in Maputo. Before the bus left, two more were sold (and there were only 10 of us on the bus!)

Ken's system still hasn't recovered, if anything he's back sliding although his appetite is good. My appetite is still iffy. As well, my system still smells of sea water/fish processing plant. Not sure what that means. Others are just surfacing now after 5 days so it some people really hard, including receiving shots from the doctor.

Off to bed now. Early Palm Sunday service, then an immigration interview with the South African authorities and finally a safai tour. Will see white rhino and possibly other more exciting animals.
