Hi, all. I am happy to have a new day. Yesterday just felt like everything I touched broke, but today is a sunny new day to start over.

Have a good time at church, Kittykatt. I hope that your appointment goes well.

Thanks, L.Ann. It took another three tries, but then Germane settled in for her deep sleep and has been contented since then.

That sounds like an epic Quest For Groceries, kitkat. But you were triumphant.
Woo hoo on the decent night's sleep.

I wonder where helia is? She's usually on long before me.

Thursday
15:
Cleaned up after Germane
Washed floor

Waving to Dogged, L.Ann and kittykatt!

I'm here Doggedly! It's just been another of those days that got away from me at the beginning. I now have a moment to pop in here while I eat lunch. Hoping nothing breaks today.
Sounds like the typical afternoon busyness for you, trissie. Are you WFH tomorrow?
Homemade biscuits and egg salad - yum, kitkat!
Happy travels later today, L Ann. Are you getting a lot of birds at your feeder? We'll start up ours again in a couple months.
Hoping errands and church were both good this morning, Kitty. Did you have lunch with friends?

Last night, dh had his bi-weekly phone call with ds, which I jumped on. Ds was driving home from work. He has like a 40-ish minute commute. Once he was home, dsilF and baby I joined via video!

F says that they'd like to come here for Christmas. Yay!!

I think they mean after Christmas as they've done in the past. It was good to catch up with them a bit.

This morning, I stayed in bed until 7:30 and then got up and ready to be otd 20 minutes later - WW meeting. Home from that, and I got a payroll message that a class was switching textbooks --> I created a new course overview + vocab study guide for the class. I also created and posted morning announcements and tried to help LH find another S (name written in Korean this time) for her Telegram class group. An admin got to it right before I did. Then, I had a quick phone call with dh; weather looks great for a trip up north next weekend - a week from tomorrow. Then, I texted AS re: my ischial bursitis and my work out this afternoon, ordered coffee + Swedish dish cloths, and filled in infor for a return. I then had a video call with dsil + dbil, the parents of niece SP. (Dsil is dh's sister.) I'm now finishing lunch - and it is almost 1 pm.

I am safely at dsis2, 2 days ago. We had a wonderful supper out at a famous seafood restaurant for her birthday yesterday, and did a few of her errands together.
Today? I don't konw what she has planned, but I have some things from mother's house to show her, if she ever gets done with the crossword puzzle she's working on. That seems to be her highest priority fo the day.... I'm glad I brougth my copmuter with, as I had an email about dfBS funeral, and couldn't open the attachemtn with my phone. And it looks like my fingers are dyslexic today

Meanwhile, maybe I"ll go for a walk, and I have been playing with her dog.

Oh no - your sink, Doggedly. Will someone come fix it for you?
So glad you get a lower key day tomorrow, trissie.
