Wild Rose Wednesday

[L.Ann]

Little Bit was thrilled to spend the Kohl’s cash, helian. If you want a really good read, I just finished The Correspondent. It is about an older woman in her late 70s who was a lawyer and law clerk to a judge. The whole story is in letters. It is a fast read - short chapters and not too long and it is fascinating to watch a complex story unfold in letters. In most letters there is a short mention of books the writer is currently reading which is a fun aside.

Oh, THAT prep Lauralind. Good on you for taking care of your health.
Doggedly, laundry is a big thing! I'm doing towels today.
L Ann! That is so funny. The Correspondent was one of the books that a friend brought and highly recommended. I think several of them have read it. I'll definitely have to look into that one.

OK - I got some things done and then got lost in a podcast and then games. I'm hoping to have dinner on the table in 1.5 hours so need to get moving.

I changed the jog to a walk bc it was hot and also so I could jog more strenuously tomorrow.

I'll second you on that one, helia! WTG on getting those towels done.

Cleaning out the fridge is a big one too, L.Ann. WTG!

I have had an epiphany. As I was walking Germane, it occurred to me that I don't actually want to drive to the farm stall that is only open when the sun is up to beat down on my non-air-conditioned car. So I didn't. I have spent a good part of my afternoon contemplating my future and I don't think that I can wait for the fall to put in my notice. I won't be doing any kind of effective job search while I'm working in the call centre, as I just feel wrung out all the time and accomplish very little on my off time. I had thought to at least stick it out to my next dental appointment, but I just checked that and it's not next week; it's the end of July. I'm not waiting that long. I have enough savings to tide me over until I get settled, and I can take the summer off.

[L.Ann]

Can you move your dental appointment up, Dogged? Little Bit was not feeling well when she got up from her nap. Hopefully just a quick virus that DD32 and I don’t get.

[Doggedly]

That's a good idea, L.Ann. I'll call them to ask. But it's just a cleaning, so it won't be a big deal if I have to pay out of pocket, and by next year I should qualify for the new gov't dental program.

Doggedly that will be a big change for you. Seems you work a lot. I think it will be good for you to take a break for a bit if you can afford it. Will you retire or look for a different job after a while?

I did have a productive day. And even chatted with dd for a bit. Bible study was good. Shopping . And even rearranged my chair and such again so the living room and tile floors are actually accessible now. Moving a couple things made a big difference.

That greenhouse... I don't know what to do with it. Feels like I am fighting a losing battle with the chickweed. The poor carrots and beets are almost impossible to find. I did some again today.. the weekend is busy we're invited and doing sound for a wedding Saturday with rehearsal Friday night after work. I might have to go in the morning and do a bit more and maybe more on Sunday cause that test is going to put me out of commission for a few days next week
