Soil Thermometer Thursday

[kitkat]

LAnn - Yes, I did. I'll make a note of that book:) I like his writing.
Glad to hear DD is feeling OK. Hope they find a solution for that abscess.

Home again- another load in:) while I'm warming my back and drinking coffee...

[Bama]

Kitkat, is your new machine acting right? What brand did you get? I try to do something for my face to keep these pores and skin under control so added a face mask to my monthly regimen, I love the kind you peel off and see all the ick lol.

LAnn, I’m watching a show where the bad guy is called the ferryman so your comment made me think there are a lot of famous ferrymen. Hope they come up with a fix for dd’s abscess. If they can put a man on the moon (and now sling people around it) then modern medicine needs to do its thing.

Trissie, hope you’re winding down now and things are calm in your home tonight. I remember getting my ears pierced and being so excited. It must be cool to share that experience with a twin.

Dogged, cheers for your fun s&b. Costco fish must be something special.

Welp, dh got me again. Yesterday he said he’d get off at 1pm today for the meeting and he’s not here. Called and he said he told me 2:30. Um sure, they sound so much alike… 1:00, 2:30, they practically rhyme.
The good news is I’m all ready, got a walk with the dogs, left Thumper off leash as I was just going to do a quick around the house 1x and he did run off toward moms house but when I used my stern voice he ran right back. And who can be mad at a thick body with tiny legs and ears flopping running toward them.
We are sitting on the porch now enjoying a nice breeze. I have a deep wind chime that goes off occasionally like a church bell, Beau is chomping on his ball, Thumper is laying on his rug looking out and I’m in grandmas rocking chair.
I got peppermint lotion in my eye that’s burning so I hope I don’t look like I have pink eye at the meet lol.
I totally forgot lunch so gonna grab something to eat.

I'm just back from my walk with friend B. I think we walked for 1.5 hours. I'm sweaty now. It's actually warm outside - and sunny! I'm cooling off with a cold diet soda.

I've done a lot of payroll but there's still more to do, including: AR Exam draft and lots of grading for my class.

My new passport arrived today, good for another 10 years. I need to sign it and put it away.

I'll ci over dinner and post more accomplishments.

I hope you enjoy the class with dh, Bama.
I'm going to join you in the laundry room, kitkat.
L Ann, I need to refill our bird feeder too. That's an early start.
That's a long day, trissie. Are you wfh tomorrow?
Costco must be selling fish in large quantities, Doggedly.
That's as far back as I can go.

That’s a lot of steps, helia. Speaking of soda, do you like poppi? It’s flavored sparkling water. I tried the Shirley Temple and it was pretty good.

LAnn, is little bit planning a trip?

We are at the event a little early so waiting for it to start. We did make it to pick up our book club books “The Old Federal Road in Alabama” so I’m excited to read that.

[L.Ann]

Cruise ships like to tell you they want passports, Bama, even though technically we don’t need them for the Hawaiian cruise.

Oh, my, the tenant in mother's house, who said she would be there for a few years has an inflamed tendon in her foot and has to find a ne w place to live where she doesn't have to do stairs. So I get to work on finding a new tenant (since I have nothing else to do !!!)

[Doggedly]

I got my errands done, and as a special bonus the very threatening skies and wind did not deliver torrents of rain. Instead they went "Psych!" and brightened up to blue and sun.

Actually, Bama, the sale was on in a grocery store in the same area, so I went there instead. Costco cheese will have to wait.
You are right. Those stumpy-legged dogs get away with everything because they're so cute and they know it.

I haven't worked up the courage to check for fish at Costco, helia. I buy 1 kg at a time if I can. A good price is $10. The regular price is now about $19. Metro had it on sale for $7.00 for base, so I bought two bags and crammed them in the freezer.


Thursday
