Pearl Witherington Wednesday @ TDD - C&C

[trissie]

((((gma))) thinking of you!
Bama, the other day I was surprised that Umberto Eco, the author of The Name of the Rose, published a set of essays on all things including mobile phone etiquette! He only died 9 years ago, for me he's older than Methuzalem or something
yikes bout the glass, kittykatt, but at least you were around to take care of it right away!

Home from work. Another day when I left an hour late. Ugh! I was really hoping on leaving on time, as tomorrow I will be doing planned overtime (I am meeting my friends in the city at 6pm, so even with a 90 minute massage I can stay at work till 3:45, which is almost 2 hours overtime). Oh well... life's tough and then you die, and this is what I get for working part time in full time organization!

TaDas
- morning madness
- day at work
- pick up DBD
- morning routine
- load of darks sorted and running

ToDos
- ready DBD for her scout session (another mom is doing the driving today)
- midday routine
- clean kitchen

[trissie]

I would say getting Dad's business out of the way in the morning would work better, lauralind - not only will you have a free afternon, but also, there's a definite time slot that you have available for work and then you really have to leave!
Thinking of you at the appointment today, L.Ann!
helia, safe travels to your DH! I like your dinner plan, very healthy and low prep I actually had Indian food today - my "work gang" (the finance director and chief risk officer) felt like having something Asian and I didn't really have any preference so it was the nearby Tibet/Indian restaurant. We talked some fun and some shop - it's always helpful to get others' perspective on things!

Trissie I have had second thoughts. I'm moving now at my house. And I'm completely more productive in the morning. If I go now I will stop my progress and knowing him he's going to bring me back lunch.. then all my home day is gone... going later means I gotta get supper started and ...

Kitchen is pretty good. I'm going to put the coffee on and go out and collect the kale. Then my warm coffee is ready and it's in here and I make myself do something with it ASAP. It is fighting frost now since we're at -4 to 8 c.

Coffee and breakfast
Get kale in
Swep everywhere
Vacuum everywhere

Shower
S&s both baths and reboot laundry
Tidy laundry room and master bedroom some

Empty and reload dw
Finish tidying kitchen all the way
General straighten main living space
School run

That sounds yummy trissie. The best dinners for me are the ones I don't have to cook! I love leftovers. -- I had no idea Umberto Eco had written on a topic as modern as mobile phone etiquette! The Name of the Rose is one of my favorite novels.
I hope you can get a quick surgery date, L Ann.
Hi Peaches.
So, are you going over to your parents' place, Lauralind?

I've had lunch and it's time to s2s next. I didn't get in my jog so I'll have to do that after class. I'm pondering bringing my stuff and changing at work and going straight to the park to job -- but then my purse and backpack would have to sit in the locked car while I'm off jogging, and I'm not comfortable with that. I'd rather remove all temptation from everyone.

Next:
- back exercises
- s2s and self care
- squeegee and wipe down shower

Later:
- back exercises
- dress to jog
- jog
- make the bed
- s2s and self care
- squeegee and wipe down the shower
- gather everything and otd @ 1:15
- 1:40 - 3:30 payroll: teach AIAS D1
- load 1 mom's stuff w d f
- clear cedar chest
- call window washing company
- dinner: chicken curry, rice, salad
- after dinner clean up
- email ML
- text reply to KY
- reach out to JK - coffee date?
- reach out to LO - coffee date?
- duolingo -- can I get it to load consistently on my phone?
- update health apps
- read
- knitting progress - more than halfway but the baby will be here next week!

TaDas!
- up; weighed self
- coffee

Hello, all. Thank you for another interesting start, trissie. Tibetan/Indian food sounds enticing. Is it different from food from other parts of India?

(((Gma and dfamily))) I'm glad that your dfamily has come together at this difficult time.

I'm glad that you enjoyed Hudson And Rex, Bama. Often I pass over shows because I don't know anything about them, but they have plot lines or themes that I would really enjoy if I knew. I'm glad that we seem to have gotten over the fashion of soap-opera-with-zombies that seemed so popular a little time ago. That didn't interest me at all.

Kittykatt, I would love to have that kind of presence that your veterinary receptionist has. One word from me and... I don't get to the end of the word because people are talking over me. One of the reasons that I enjoy the peace of my own company so much.
Good on Freddie for expressing his displeasure over that breach of etiquette.
That is so discouraging, getting the pictures hung and for them all to fall down again. I am sure that you will find a solution that works. You are very resourceful.

I'm with you on hesitating to leave your purse and knapsack in the car while you jog, helia. Our dog park used to get a lot of breakins in the parking lot, for exactly that reason. It was the kind of place where people would leave their wallet in the car.

L.Ann, I hope that your appointment brings good news.

It's a trade off, Lauralind, but if you're not sure that your dfather will let you go home when you are ready to, then you are probably better off going later so that you don't have to butt heads with him.

Hi, Peaches.

Wednesday
Put away clean dishes
Cleaned up after dog
Spiffed self
Checked status of deliveries

[Bama]

Howdy howdy.
I put on a Brenda Gantt video (she films recipes) and it put me back to sleep after a bit. She is very calming so it’s hard to finish the whole recipe.

Trissie, I was telling dh about someone who was still alive in the early 2000s that I thought was long dead, can’t remember who it was now so I messaged dh and he’s just giving me current politicians, no help at all.
Enjoy your visit and massage!

Kittykatt, I’m so sorry your picture fell and broke, sounds like you got safer option now. I found a piece of glass on the floor the other day, no idea where it came from, but the cats must have found and played with it.

Helia, a short work day sounds good, hope you catch up on some smaller to dos. Both dds are sharing a house now, dd1 just moved in a couple weeks ago from a different state and is looking for employment so had a free schedule, and came home to visit for a few days. Of course the day she drove down she got an email hiring her. Fortunately they are moving slowly so she doesn’t have to rush back.

(((LAnn))), hope you’re having a relaxing day after your procedure.

Laura, hope you and your parents work out a mutually beneficial meetup.
