Wow, this board was on fire (the good kind) yesterday -- there's even the little fire icon on the ...index? not sure what to call it. I guess it's the board, and this is the thread, but you know what I mean.
Yet another day discombobulated. I must redo my sleep/wake times for the school year. I could not get up when DH left -- fortunately, he wakes up on his own, because for the second day in a row, the smart speaker did not turn on to wake him. We had had it set for 7 am for the summer; now he needs it at 6. So I changed it, and it didn't go off. I tried it again at a different time, and it worked just fine. So I set it back to 6 and made sure I saved it, but again, no radio. We switched to the smart speaker from the clock radio because our NPR station was involved in a frequency swap; it merged with another nearby NPR station, and now it's available multiple places on the dial, none of which come in really well here. Anyhow, I fell back asleep, like yesterday, and today, I needed to get DC up early.
DC has gone to the amusement park with a friend. It's a 1-1/2 to 2 hour drive, hence DC getting up early. We were up late last night because after DC got home from practice (about 10:30), we went to the drugstore to get them a prepaid credit card. The amusement park is cashless, and they can't find their card. It's probably somewhere here; they checked online, and there's been no activity, so thank goodness for that. Getting in touch with the bank is on the agenda for tomorrow. I think they can create a new card for them on the spot and close the old one.
I normally keep track of how long it takes me to get things done, and when I redo my cards, I take the average; well, today, I have the timer going in the other direction to try to get things done in the allotted time. So forgive me if I end a bit abruptly.
I am afraid to click Twins' link for fear of losing this post -- I will have to check it out when I'm done posting. Way to go, Twins and Nancy for knocking so many things off the list!
How's that raspberry jam going, Lauralind? Yum!
Grocery order is on my list today, too, Harriet. I really must finish it. I'll need to run out to pick up something for dinner. I can't ask DH; he already called needing a break from a doozy of a day. He forgot to click a particular check box, so 150 schedules need to be reprinted and distributed.
Sorry it wasn't better news from the doctor, LadyM, but I suppose that could not have been expected. Glad your sciatica is better.
Wow, Cathy, that was efficient!
Hey, look at that! My timer hasn't gone off yet. I guess I can type quickly when I try. Have a great day, everybody!
Yikes! Waving to lucylee!
