One thumbs up is that it's National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips all around, chocolate chips for everyone!
What receives your Thumbs Up today? Is it a workout? A new learning experience? An appointment for a health check? Or spending time with family?
This is a place to share and discuss your own thumbs up or thumbs down events of the day.

Hi!
I have taken the large compost bin out to the end of the driveway.
It's overcast here today.
We are having leftover spaghetti and meat sauce for supper.

I like how you think!
I got a good sleep last night and feel full of energy. Morning focuses have been done well. Personal care, family members and pet care accomplished, Kitchen things happened, garden & fish care is in progress.
Today is a special day. It is our LAST day of homeschool for this year. DS16 is now officially a Senior!

Cathy, it's overcast here too but supposed to go to mid eighties today. Ugh.
I gotta get myself moving, I went down an enjoyable genealogy rabbit hole, lol.
Need to be at temple at noon, need to s2s before. After the lunch at temple it's to plant nursery, then on to my workout. We'll eat out this evening. First time in a while. We like Monday and Thursday specials at the favorite restaurant so it's a good evening to go there.

Good morning
Peeking in from fun and games. I do love chocolate. I also have some chocolate chip cookie dough in the fridge so that may make it to tonight’s menu. We don’t usually do dessert but I’ll make an exception. Have a wonderful day. Thank you all for being here.

Good morning! It is gloomy here -- warm, but lots of rain.
I have put in an hour on payroll today and finished the documents I was sent yesterday. Now the only thing I'll have for a while is the side project I've been working on; the big project has been somewhat back-burnered, so I will only have half the deadlines I was expecting. In the meantime, there's only so much I can do on the side project with the information I have. The best I can do is to thoroughly figure out what information I need from the graphic designer. Once that's done, I have to figure out when I can get what I need from him -- the big project I've been working on has been back-burnered due to another project that must be rushed, so he's up to his eyeballs.
I need to hit the laundry in earnest today. I especially need to get DH's shirts done. I don't remember if he was wearing a long-sleeved shirt or a short-sleeved one this morning, but I think he should need more short-sleeved ones. I have Hoarders recorded on the DVR, and I put it on my phone while I'm doing wash. The DVR is getting pretty full, so I've been deleting episodes as I watch them. I can't remember if I'm on season 2 or season 3.
Goodness! It's noon already -- DD is making her lunch. I should go up and wish DC a good "mornternoon." Not sure what I will have for lunch; probably a sandwich and salad. I want to bake some cookies in honor of Chocolate Chip day -- I actually picked up the dough on the latest shopping run because I had a taste for some. I also got some sugar cookie dough with DD in mind -- she's not a chocolate fan. I will likely roll them in cinnamon sugar to make ersatz snickerdoodles. (Real snickerdoodles have different dough -- but DD is a big cinnamon sugar fan.)
Welcome, Bama!
So, which order shall I do things in? That's a darn good question. Probably lunch first -- I will have a glass of Coke with it and hope the caffeine does something to wake me up.

Back from a mini adventure. I went to pick up a couple shirts ordered (fundraiser). While at DFriends home she invited me to tour her garden. I was instantly in my happy place as I walked through it. She is also a master gardener but is more advanced than I am. I enjoyed every moment and came home with more ideas to try.
DS16 homeschool assignments are finished, and he just left for work. His boss returned home last night from what was supposed to be a week vacation in Barbados. However, boss landed at 6:30pm in Barbados and by 9pm he was in surgery for appendectomy. He is recovering well but this unexpected surgery obviously messed with the vacation mode.

I have cooked and ate my lunch ~
Sub Way protein bowl yum!
Meat balls cheese olives & tomatoes just in case you were wondering.
I got it yesterday for today, they put the chopped tomatoes in a cup so
I did not have to heat them up.
I added cooked zucchini as an extra side.
Kitchen is way less clean if it's in use! LOL!
Cleaned up after making lunch.
Oh on the butterfly it was traced and I'm using it for a spot to write my bujo list in
as a design element. I may cut the shape on a half page I think it's called barn door effect.
Just for fun. Would be great to have as a section or month divider page.
Guess what my summer theme is?
Mopped yea!

Went to the doctors yesterday and found out that my nodules in my nasal cavity are infected and I’m being sent to see a specialist. Most likely that will mean I have to have surgery to remove them. I go to the specialist next week.
In the meantime, we’ve had a leak in my kitchen on my outside wall. We’ve had a couple people come look at it, and seem to think that the foundation is leaking into the house. So they’ve already started digging a trench and will seal the foundation.
My insurance company sent a company called American leak protection to see if there’s a leak in my wall. The fella just left but told me before he left that most likely we have a leak in our kitchen on the outer wall maybe crossed by the window leaking through the wall. I don’t know, but so far we’ve discovered that my whole kitchen outside kitchen wall is wet. That means all of my sheet rock will have to be removed and it’s above my countertop so that means my cabinets have to come out. We also don’t know how far along the side of the house the water has run. It could affect my pantry. This is gonna be a big mess. Good news is I wanted to do the backsplash on my kitchen a different color. If all this damage is what I think it’s going to be. I’m going to get that, but I don’t know.
Today is Thursday so you know what else I’m doing laundry I’ve had people in and out of my house for the last three days. It’s been an adventure here.
