Naomi Shihab Nye Sunday

[Doggedly]

Hi, all. I won't be CUOP properly, as I am getting ready for my trip. I just want to cheer you all on, and reassure myself that I have actually been working on something, LOL.

helia, when the board takes multiple tries to log in, I have noticed that on the later try it doesn't always fill in the password, and then tells me that my login isn't working. I don't think that it's an actual issue with your ID.

OK - I lost a post. I did get some 503 messages. BUT in general, I got here more easily than before, though my password was initially rejected.

Happy trip prep, Doggedly! And what a strategic thinker Germane is.
Kitty, I'm going to try to channel you and do some work to set up next week after this.

We said good bye to the last dinner guest at 8:09. Not bad. . .And we'd gotten all the after dinner clean up done too. We were just 10 instead of 12 because both dd30 and dd28 aren't feeling well.

RZ and his friend arrived 35 minutes early. Not sure what was up with that. I was helping M at the time, but then I stopped and socialized with them while M continued to work on dinner prep. Then dh arrived and put them to work.

Next:
- duolingo
- payroll: update timesheet
- weekly lists in notebook

Later:
- payroll: start prep for D3
- payroll: update time sheet
- payroll: S7 collection bin
- duolingo
- update MFP
- lists in notebook for the week
- can I make a menu plan for the week?
- can I get to writing baby cards and wrapping baby gifts?

Speaking of strategy, good on your DH putting the early birds to work, helia. I'm glad that your dinner went well.

I wish that Germane were a little less strategic. Every time that I stand up to pack or clean she's right there in my path, after having slept the day away. I may just pack it in early and leave everything for tomorrow.
