Stay cool, Gma. That's hot.
Doggedly, hoping the chair is really special.
That sounds like a really sweet dessert, L Ann. I wonder if DD33 will like it?
I'm glad you're seeing a therapist, trissie, to help process family "stuff". Glad you survived the family lunch.
I'm sorry your dkids didn't have warm relationships with extended family, kitkat. I'm glad your dgkids do, though!! It was the same for my kids. My family wasn't particularly warm; I don't think my mom even liked my kids (or any kids). And dh's family IS very warm and caring - but they all live across the Atlantic, so we didn't (and don't) see them very often. BTW, I don't know how to cook with tofu. I tried a couple recipes years ago, but dh didn't really fancy it.
I'm back from work. Did the US Census Bureau phone call. Had my yogurt and fruit. I think I'll start a lol and go for a walk next.
Next:
- start a lol

Later:
- some qt
- update lists
- lights w d f pa
- strip guest bed
- sheets w d f pa
- menu plan and groc. list

- dinner: chicken curry stew from freezer, marinated veggies, rice (most likely)
- after dinner clean up
- duolingo
- update health apps
- update goodreads
- find another fiction book to read
- other things?
TaDas!
- up; weighed self
- upgraded hotel room
- emails to school re: appointments for dniece and friend who are staying with us for 8 weeks in the fall (they live in Germany; dniece's mom is one of dh's younger sisters)
- coffee
- running dw
- email deletions + weather website
- made a lunch
- back exercises
- s2s and self care
- squeegeed and wiped down shower
- unloaded dw
- gathered everything; otd late
- payroll: pulled textbooks for teachers
- 11:30 - 12:30 meeting with lawyer and new trustee
- lunch
- 1-2 payroll: Prof Dev meeting
- 2-2:20 payroll: meet with CM re: combined classes
