Flyby and edit to do list.

Kitkat, would you recommend that book? Added to my list for safe keeping.
I’ve decided to drop out of the book club I’m in, nothing they read appeals to me, and it’s all nonfiction, I find the writings usually boring as a reader, they’re just not my cup of tea. All that to say I’ll be looking for good reads.

Trissie, what a “carpy” coworker.
Bader definitely didn’t let anything get in the way of his success.

Good morning LAnn. Do you make your own bang bang sauce or can you recommend a brand? I love the one in the restaurants but haven’t tried any at home.

Update to list zoom zoom. 🏎️ 💨

It’s a Blue Apron recipe, Bama. It uses 2Tbsp of mayo, 3Tbsp of sweet chili sauce, and 1 Tbsp of sambal oelak. The recipe is for 2 people.

It is great book... I read it fast ( for me :lol: )- could not put it down. A well deserved Pulitzer!

LAnn
I'll copy that recipe:)

trissie

Had to take a break: my back is protesting
It's beautiful outside

Install the TV receiver! It has arrived

Bama, now I am picturing my colleague with a carp head opening and closing his mouth without a sound coming out, and it's all your fault if I will burst out laughing looking at him tomorrow! :-)
L.Ann, never heard of bang bang chicken, went to look up the recipe, accidently typed bang bang song, and now I have Nancy Sinatra softly singing in the background, and a dinner idea as well! :-)
kitkat, I looked it up for you :-) https://www.amazon.com/Reach-Sky-W-N-Mi ... 08YR6RPWX/

My last set and then I am off to read for the rest of the evening!

Dh has made bang bang chicken before! If I remember correctly, it's very tasty, almost like Asian BBQ sauce? I could be thinking of a different recipe too. Enjoy it tonight, L Ann.
ROFLOL @ Bama's comment and trissie's reaction! Bama, I think you're right. We should just enjoy life like our dogs do.
I've heard good things about that book, kitkat, but have not read it. I love how dogs (labs?) just enjoy life and are so un-self conscious in their exuberance. :)
trissie, that's interesting about the leg-less pilot. Ah, now I see the source of Bama's comment. Glad you don't have to see him Thursday and Friday.

That's as far back as I can go, and I need to go s2s and do other things.

The day is once more not going as planned. First, many many work messages over a couple hours re: Q that teacher LH posed in teacher chat. Trying to prevent confusion - but also wanting to improve speaking test administration. I tried to jog during this time and got interrupted several times. I probably didn't have to stop to deal with it -- but I did. Second, the nice big bnb in a convenient location that I booked for the conference we're attending in June in Ohio cancelled on me this morning. Now, I'm back to square one - looking for a bnb for 6-7 people, 5 bedrooms ideally, and not too far from the church where the conference is. :roll: Third, I also ended up letting Fable out of her crate for 30 minutes around noon, right before my interview. Also, my 4:40 EPT interviewee changed their session to tomorrow at 4:40 pm. So, I have a little extra time today.

Next:
- s2s and self care
- squeegee and wipe down shower
- start a lol

Later:
- s2s and self care
- squeegee and wipe down shower
- some qt
- lights: w d f pa
- clean sheets on bed
- go to WF?
- put away all groceries
- refill bird feeder
- run dw; unload
- dinner: chickpea and spinach pasta, roasted squash?, green salad, GF baguette, dessert - what?
- after dinner clean up
- garbage and recycling collected and to the curb
- payroll: start prep for IW D7
- read for fun
- BD card for ds
- order wedding gift for V and J
- duolingo
- update health apps

TaDas!
- up; weighed self - down
- coffee
- Stitch Fix preview -- thinking I need to stop this
- email deletions and filing; weather website
- back exercises
- dress to jog
- jog
- payroll: continual communications re: LH's Q and exam team stuff
- girls' house: let Fable out for 30 minutes
- payroll: set up for interview
- 1 - 1:15ish payroll: interview
- payroll: referral notes; this young woman would like private online lessons -- asap
- lunch
- after lunch clean up
- checked recipe; made Kroger order
- spent too long looking at bnbs in Ohio

Bummer about the cancellation helia. Hope you find something even better.

Lol trissie, laughing is better than wringing his neck which I might be imagining if I were in front of him.
Thanks for the book link.

Thanks for the recommendation kitkat. I added it to my Spotify list.

Thanks for the recipe LAnn. I feel like I’ve asked for it before so if I ask again just remind me that I took a screenshot and go find it myself. ;)

List updated. Most have tos done. Didn’t get to walk bc we got a sudden rain shower, much needed. I think we are experiencing a small drought, nobody is supposed to burn trash or anything right now. Eating lunch then:
Finish bathrooms - clean fans, polish cabinets

Cabinets and fans in bathrooms done. Sitting outside with the dogs mustering up some energy to go for a walk. The warmth and sunshine is making me want to take a nap.
