Random greetings. I'm too tired to do everyone.
Thank you Bama. Yes, now it's the real grief -- but I can already see that it's going to be a busy time so that is going to keep my mind busy.
Thank you so much Twins.
Oh L Ann, is there a Downton Abbey movie playing now? I used to like watching the TV show -- then I kind of got off it. But that could be a nice movie to watch.
WTG getting your lists ready for tomorrow, Kitty.

It was a social day from 3:30 onward: CG2 3:30 - 6 Sunday dinner - 8 of us + 2 puppies who chased each other and wrestled under the table nonstop for 2 hours. 6:15 - 8:30 zoom call with ds + F 8:30 pm - 9 pm. It was good to be with family. Cs are essentially family too.

It's only 9:30 but I'm really tired and I'm heading to bed. I only got my class partially prepped bc I didn't have my textbook with me in the coffee shop. In fact, I don't know where it is. I do have an ebook version, but I like IRL books.

I hope you find your book helian. And I hope the get some rest.

I had a decent day. Church and breakfast was good. We had eaten enough I didn't make lunch. Early supper instead. I decided on a whim that my big Brandywine tomato plant was in need of a bigger pot. We transplanted him by getting a bucket of soil from the bare back spots in the yard and didn't disturb the roots. My plants are all in the house now and actually growing and making new flowers. I think that guy is going to get big.

Ds decided to go for a run with Casper. And then I just got home from a new thing. I just joined a community band. Interesting. It's new this year and I think I might like it. I have not played for a while. The leader seems extremely talented. Some are completely beginner and some are like me that can play but haven't a while. Some are actually music teachers who are trying a new instrument. It's just at a bit of an awkward time 6 pm Sunday. We'll see if I go every week.

So in all a want to day.
