Good Afternoon Kids! We're packing up to head back home. The plan is to leave in the middle of the night, to miss the morning rush hour. So, if I don't post tomorrow morning, just assume I'm on the road.

Good Evening Kids! Big change in temperature from where I left this morning. Glad I had DS wear shorts, because it's in the 90's where we've stopped for the night. DS is crabby, so I hope getting some sleep tonight will help, not to mention a hot breakfast at the hotel tomorrow morning.

Hi Kids! We're back. But, looking at the pile of mail waiting for me, I know what I'll be working on tomorrow, besides laundry...

Hello peeps and happy Friday. Doing laundry and some weeding before the rainy weekend sets in. Miserable week at the office; I am definitely polishing up the resume and getting it ready to go. I plan to send out job inquiries just before we leave for our trip next month, so I will give prospective employers time to look at my work. I'd like to be out of my present situation by the end of the year. It has simply become impossible to stay. Too many crybabies and slackers and favored children. I am sorry; I come in to work, not to expect favoritism or an easy day. No pools open tomorrow; I am planning a long run and a bike ride Sunday.

All the long hours and stress got to me, I now have a cold. Cuddling grandbabies who go to daycare also played a part in that. Tomorrow is supposed to be decent weather wise so I want to get a little yard work done and get some housework done. Sunday is supposed to be rainy and breezy and I plan on doing nothing, nada, zip, zilch. There are two more weeks until the official go live date for this project, we shall see if we make it. I found more issues today. On another note I picked up Mom tonight and we went for taco salads. She has finally started using a cane. I have been trying to get her to use it for some time.

Good morning everyone. Sharon I hope you feel better. Thinking about getting my flu shot soon. gs's are back at school and bringing germs home. Usually strep first. Another Fall day here. Still losing weight. Low salt, no beer and Lasix diet. 7/1 I was 244. Today I'm 196. Cardiac rehab 3 times a week really is helping. Walking 40 minutes a day when before had trouble with 2 minutes.

I got the car serviced this morning. Late yesterday evening when checking my e-mail there was one from the car dealership thanking me for letting them know I was canceling my appt and when I was ready to reschedule call blah, blah, blah. Only thing was I hadn't cancelled the appt. At first I was really angry that there stupid computer system had cancelled me. Then I decided to just pretend that I hadn't seen the e-mail and showed up at my appointed time. I figured since the appt was supposedly cancelled late yesterday afternoon that the slot was probably still open. The guy seemed confused when I wasn't listed on his tablet but went and checked the computer and then came back and checked me in without a comment. When I did ask about why he was now taking pictures of the car he mentioned that they had a new system put into place this last week. I wonder if the new system decided to cancel me out and if this hadn't happened to other people also. The car is serviced and has new wiper blades for winter.

Next thing ya know, Ken is just gonna slide under the coffee shop door, and we'll never know it. Been busy today peeps. Ran four bridge run and did my appointments also made a stop for fresh coffee beans from a local roaster. And these were fresh! Still warm and that smell is just awesome! I got a dark roast with chocolate notes from Peru. Cannot wait to try it tomorrow with French toast. Also (temporarily) fixed my dryer. Need to get a new vent hose tomorrow. We also need mulch anyway; the rain last week removed some of what we had.
Dinner is spaghetti and meatballs; Publix had the Aidell's meatballs on sale and aside from my own, I like this product a lot.

Good Morning Kids! We went to early church this morning, as there is road work going on nearby, and getting 2 lanes of traffic cut down to one could've made DH late to work.
We found a green frog that'd crawled up & hidden on the outside corner of our front door. DH caught him, & set him down near our bushes.

We are having a very winter like day, other than the temps, it is pouring rain and earlier this morning it was quite windy. The temps are in the upper 50's which is too warm for a true winter rainy day.
My plan of doing nothing today isn't working out real great. I ended up spending a good portion of yesterday cleaning out gutters so I didn't get all the weekend chores done that need to be done every week. We are supposed to have rain on and off for the next several days so at least it can now actually reach the gutter.

This morning is all about perspective. When I got up I kept thinking about how cold the house was and checked the temp on the thermostat. It showed 67 degrees which is what I heat the house to in the mornings in the winter. It is funny how that 67 feels nice and toasty in December but cold in September.

You must have warmer blood than I do, Sharon. When I lived in the Midwest, I kept the thermostat around 72 or 73 in the Winter. Good Morning Kids! Try & have a good Monday.

Holy first-sprinkles-of-the-fall batman. Traffic this morning was horrendous due to about 2.5 sprinkles of rain. I believe everyone wanted to commute before this "rain" was supposed to hit and my commute added an additional 30 minutes (on 12.5 miles) due to that.
Fortunately there were no accidents but really people, just have an additional cup of coffee and don't get in my way on the road before I reach work at 7:30am
