Kitty - Poirot. . .You're reminding me that I have found the "better" Miss Marple series. I have not watched any yet. My mother loved Poirot. Is L the handyman working on your corner kitchen cupboard?
See you soon, Doggedly! Sleep well.
It is currently 10*F, so not bad for recent temps here. Looks like we'll be up in the 20s again starting Sunday. Perhaps the polar vortex will have moved itself back to its proper position by then. No sunshine in the forecast until Thursday.
Today: I need to be otd in 55 minutes to meet B at the mall where we're going to walk and talk. Currently, I'm working on a cup of coffee. At 1 pm, I have a payroll zoom meeting with AC and CM to discuss new admin responsibilities I'll take on for the school - not like a secretary but more like an assistant to the new academic director (AC). I'll probably do things like help manage curricula and interface with teachers on that topic. Other things to do include the list of things I didn't get to this weekend, like the postal place and clean sheets on the bed. Perhaps getting some groceries will happen. Progress on payroll exam prep, NY cards, and writing would be good as well.

Good morning!
. No chance of that on his clock. 
Unfortunately, the days of one multi skilled person who did everything, seem to be over. 
(though I absolutely love the freedom of a proper black slope, when it's just me, the skis, and absolute concentration and control. After more than 15 years, I was able to actually ski a black slope again and I realized I really missed it! Of course, it's gonna be training blue ones again this year with the kids. Not much thrill there, but you gotta start somewhere!
