I've never heard of Tarbell before. I learned something new!
Is that your new personal adage, trissie? :D
Sleep long and well, Gma.
I hope all goes well with Freddie, Kitty. -- I see it has as far as you know. That was kind of you to make coffee for dh + friend.

Today, the sun is trying to shine, but the clouds also look pretty thick. There's no rain in the forecast, however, and a high of 72*F.

I enjoyed the evening at the girls' place last night. The Cs were there, and we sat around the bonfire and ate s'mores and brownies. Of course, my weight is much higher this morning. Fable was pretty good but did jump on some of us a little bit.

I am hosting the KSJ group this morning. This afternoon, I need to stop by payroll to drop off some things and check on the final exams for GGT. I'll also visit Mom and go for a jog. Then, I'll continue to try to make headway on my list for the week: email EP, finish going through Mom's things, e-sign document for NH, set up lists in notebook, etc. We need to eat early tonight bc dh is meeting a friend at 7:30. I'm using leftover chicken to make chicken curry for dinner.

I didn't finish my long weekend goals. I will add the tasks to my weekly lists here (if they're not there already) - but I'm also thinking about redoing my weekly lists here bc I just seem to ignore them. I think FFB set up a thread here for lists; I might check that out.

Next:
- some qt
- back exercises
- s2s and self care

Later:
- make the bed
- reclaim the kitchen
- s/s main bathroom
- straighten living room (not much to do)
- check in for mom's appointment tomorrow
- e-sign document for NH
- 10 - 12ish host KSJ
- lunch
- go visit Mom
- stop by payroll: check off final exams for GGT
- email EP
- change to jog
- jog
- finish going through Mom's stuff in the duffle bag
- lists in notebook
- other things?
- dinner: chicken curry, rice, sauteed baby bok choy + garlic
- after dinner clean up
- duo
- update WW and MFP

TaDas!
- up; weighed self -- much higher but to be expected after a pretty indulgent long weekend
- updated 1 wall calendar
- coffee
- email deletions + weather website

Kittykat, hope Freddie has a restful sleep today. Sometimes after anesthesia those are the best naps.

Well today is the first real day of retirement I am now a lady who breakfasts.

I went to breakfasts with 2 of the wives of the men's morning group, and going again for the women's groups on Thursday morning because that is what retired people do.

Changing into bathing suit and taking undertakings and packing swim bag and heading to Y.

I have Swimming and 1 to 2 classes afterwards

Then I will stop by school and clean out 2 drawers and get 4 robes that need repair.

Come home and repair the robes today.
Make appointments for mammogram and finance person
Write up conference presentations with the help of Gabe (my AI)
Take back robes.
I was thinking of starting on closet but that may not be today
Plan dinner

That would be a good amount of stuff done.

So, I gather there's been no loss of lives or limbs at the vet today, kittykatt? :-)
Happy proper retirement, CostumeLady!
helian, since I have to leave the house 15 minutes earlier in the morning, and also make sure that DBD's dressed, combed, medicated and breakfasted (all of which are normally DH's duties), yes, I think I will be on the run for foreseeable future!
L.Ann, congrats on being done with spring cleaning!

Finally home and sitting down. It's been a long day and it's not even 5pm! Of course, I have been up since 5:15, so there's that, but!
Had a long chat with the girls. They witnessed a fatal car accident on their way from school, down to the unsuccessful resuscitation efforts of the poor cyclist. I hope we will not have any nightmares or anything, because this is the second time in a year they have witnessed something like that (the motorcycle driver last summer did survive, though). It does not make me feel comfortable riding the bike around here anymore!
But I can't dwell on bad things, I simply don't have time for that!

TaDas
