Hello, all. It seems that my battle with physics is over and I am back for a reboot of my responsibilities. Germane is on the mend so we are hoping for no more surprises.

Thank you for your good wishes, helia: physics restored to normal operational parameters.

kitkat, do you have the air quality warning that we do? I'm afraid that fire season is here.

Thank you for starting us off, Kittykatt. I think of Wagner as opera for the more serious enthusiasts, so I have tended to stick to Mozart, Delibes, etc, as a dilettante. Enjoy church!

Welcome back, trissie! I think that I would be overwhelmed by the in-your-face culture that you met with in Turkiye too. It sounds like you found a gem in Romania that is not so well known as to be overrun yet.
I expect that you will enjoy the quiet of your cottage this coming week.

L.Ann, your DD33 is certainly organized, preparing her birthday list already. :lol: I have a lot of sympathy for people whose birthday is around Christmas, but your DD33 is prepared!

helia, it sounds like you travelled to Turkiye with the right person. The vendors were probably more comfortable accepting a no from a man.

Dogged, we had been vacationing in Bulgaria, not Romania! Though it's probably about as different to non-Europeans as maybe Wisconsin and Michigan (or Alberta and Saskatchewan - and I have to admit I had to look those up on the map, as I wasn't sure whether they had common borders). Bulgaria is known for its beaches and Romania is known for its mountain tracks - and because there are more tourists interested in beaches than mountain tracks, there's more tourists, more money and more "civilization" in Bulgaria. Romania is picking up, though. I did look at some trips in Romania, though, and the Count Dracula tours do sound interesting! :-)
L.Ann, that sounds quite frankly more Turkish and more delicious than the dinners at the all-inclusive resort! :-)

Ah, trissie, keeping track of younger kids in a foreign country makes for a very different experience. We went to Turkey with 5 "kids", our own kids + 2 of dd30 now's friends; all were in university at the time except for current dd28. I've never been to Bulgaria or Romania so both sound interesting to me!! :) Dh has been to Romania (before the iron curtain fell) but I don't know about Bulgaria. WTG on all the laundry!
Glad that the laws of physics are now cooperating, Doggedly. Glad Germane is feeling better too.
It's nice to hear that someone is having a quiet Sunday, L Ann. I think Sundays should be quiet days.

Back from church and having lunch. I hope to go to the gym to master the stair master in a bit. Then, I'll work on payroll stuff before heading out the door again at 3:15. At that point on, my day is scheduled for me until about 9 pm-ish. I need to get a handle on things that need to be done before I head in to payroll tomorrow.

Next:
- after lunch clean up
- gym: stair master
- payroll: prep for tutee (write plans, make journal page)

Later:
- payroll: prep for tutee (write plans, make journal page)
- lunch
- after lunch clean up
- payroll: figure out midterm test for AAS
- payroll: make practice test for AAS
- payroll: prep for AAS D5
- stair master at gym
- 3:30 - 6 CG2
- 6- 8:30ish host Sunday dinner - 7 people
- after dinner clean up
- duolingo
- update MFP
- update WW
- update lists

TaDas!

Oops--sorry about that, trissie. That's a pretty big oversight on my part. I need to pay attention better.

Waving to helia as she whizzes by in her busy day.

I'm glad that you got some pool time in before the rain, L.Ann.

Good afternoon Everyone!
I was here early this morning commenting about my dislike for Wagner... and welcoming trissie back when with one swift move, I wiped out my entire message.
It got worse from there on... Took my pup for a walk. I was not feeling all that great so I cut it short. When we got home, my heart was racing, so I took a break on the couch. A little later, I got moving, went out to the pet store. While carrying large box, I tried to keep the door open as the young lady did not think it was necessary. I was outside when I noticed blood on my arm. Put package away - of course, this was the time, I had nothing to take care of the cut so I walked to the dollar store next door and asked if they had a bandaid, while keeping a hand on the cut ... She walked me to the isle where they had it. I bought it... :roll: took care of it. The lady at the cash caught on and offered a paper towel :lol: . Went home, continued in the basement. When I thought things were on track, I spotted a puddle in the middle of the floor. Tried to figure out where it originated. No luck. Stood on a stool and checked whether the ducts had condensation - nope. Finally, called someone. Waiting for them to let me know when they can have someone on the way, today.
After all the fun, all I could do was to lie down and take a mini nap.

And now, I shall check the status of the puddle,
fold some more laundry
pa earlier piles
take pup out in back.

Will CUOP in a bit...

Oh dear, kitkat. I hope your arm is ok. And that you can figure out where the leak is.
My busy day just included an episode of Miss Scarlet, Doggedly, so I got some fun relaxing time in. This means I'll do less work. . .
Pool time sounds fun, L Ann.

Change of plans. I watched an episode of Miss Scarlet, so now I don't have time to go to the gym and work on payroll before CG2. I decided to work on payroll in the hopes that I can be prepped well enough to get up early tomorrow morning and jog/ go to the gym before I go to payroll.

Next:
- payroll: prep for tutorial
- payroll: figure out midterm test if time
~ 3:15 head over to L and B's place for CG2

More done:
- lunch
- after lunch clean up

Oh, no, kitkat--you are having my yesterday. I was glad that it was gone, but I didn't realize that it could move around like that. I hope that your day improves.

I do enjoy the plots of Miss Scarlet, helia. An hour well wasted. :)
