Adam Smith Sunday

[helia]

Still sitting here. LOL! I indulged in watching a couple skating races where the Dutch won. For the size of their country, they're doing well in the Olympics -- winning medals only in skating (short track and speed skating).

I'm happy Kazakhstan and Brazil got medals.

I AM going for a walk now, opting for convenience over nature for the sake of time.

Done:
- heard back re: family call; it's on. Yay!
- got a zoom room set up for family zoom call
- watched 2 skating races
- texts with ddilF; baby I is smiling a lot -- and rolling around a lot! I think she's a strong girl. Will be 4 months in a couple weeks - also born 4 weeks early.

helia, paperwork, even digital one, just takes a lot of time!

Hi, all! The headache still here, but I am feeling more myself so will try get some things done. I'm not sure how much is realistic at this point in the day, but at the very least want to put laundry away and set up and run the dw. I might be having a technician come on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday to activate my new internet. I don't think so; the email said that they can activate it remotely, but their way of wording things is open to interpretation. So ideally I would like to get clutter under control, but clutter is not motivated to leave, LOL.

I'll start CUOP from the end and work my way back as I go.

I'll be trailing into the kitchen after you to address my dishes too, L.Ann. I had a good laugh at what spellcheck did to trissie's name.

Kittykatt, thank you for indulging my curiosity. The Voyage Home and ABC Murders sound like an excellent line up.

trissie, that sounds like a very practical dinner in limited kitchen space.

helia, one of the articles that popped up before the Olympics is how strong the Dutch are in speed skating. I'm glad to hear that it has brought them medals.
It's lovely to hear how well your dgrandbaby is doing.
