We have had absolutely gorgeous weather this weekend and I didn't hardly get any yardwork done. Yesterday I babysat DGD most of the day. We did get a good walk in though. I put her in the stroller and we walked over to my Mom's for a while. Mom was thrilled to death to get to see her and watch her scoot around on the floor etc. This morning I had just finished changing the clocks that don't change themselves when the power went out. I got to do those clocks twice.

I think we got all of clocks changed.
Breezy today and getting cloudier. High today is 78. Supposedly we have possible rain for the next 5 days.
Looks like I will be helping to staff our Petco adoption Center on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday ~ not sure yet about Thursday.
I did get a bunch of filing done yesterday ~ it had piled up.
LUNCH: Turkey sandwich, kale/chard/spinach/collard greens, cucumber/tomatoes/red pepper/carrots/hearts of palm. (9 veggies)
Going to dinner at a friend's house on Friday night. Going out to dinner on Saturday night with other friends, for my birthday.

I've been tearing my hair out trying to check a friend's tax return. He doesn't want it done correctly so he can figure it out himself.

His tax return is done as far as I am concerned. Since I am not a paid preparer, I sign nothing. I emailed it to him as it should be. What he does with it is no longer my problem.
He refuses to file electronically and puts all the entries down to the penny which software doesn't do either.
Probably won't do this for him again because I won't be buying tax software with the new law. I will be able to use a free file site.

It's beautiful here today and so sunny. However, it is cold. Still like the sun better than clouds.

LUNCH: cottage cheese, toast, radishes, tomatoes, cucumbers, hearts of palm, pea pods and broccoli. (6 veggies)
Rainy-looking here. Not currently raining, but grey out there. 70 degrees. Supposed to rain Wednesday and Friday this week, too. Rained a bit last night and earlier this morning.
Paid a few bills this morning. Will pay more after Thursday (payday for my wonderful DH).
Looks like I will be working at the Petco Adoption Center tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. Thursday still up in the air.

Has the employee who quit been replaced?
I had to make one last change to that tax return. Now it is in his court to do whatever he decides to do.
Made arrangements to meet a friend on Thursday when I go to the town where I was born for my uncle's funeral. She will be free about the time I hope to get to town.

Our beautiful spring weather gave way to a rainy day today. That's okay since I was still tired and sore from yard work yesterday it was nice to have an excuse to stay inside this evening.

We've replaced half of her.... we're planning on two part-timers. Part Timer 1 has been hired. Still looking for Part Timer 2. It was fairly quiet today at the adoption center. It rained today, too. LUNCH: turkey sandwich, chopped salad (9 veggies) and an apple. DINNER: corned beef, carrots, red potatoes, broccoli, kale, chard, spinach, toast. (5 veggies)

My wonderful DH HAD taken today off and we were planning on seeing a movie, but work happened and we can't go. He had an unexpected conference call, and is now scrambling to get paperwork/reservations in order to go out of town next week starting on Monday. Oh well.
I filled feeders and got some sunshine this morning.
LUNCH: roast beef sandwich, half an apple, and veggies: collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, pea pods, tomatoes and hearts of palm. ( 6 veggies and 1 fruit)

I have a stinky cold and feel like crap. My dinner was highly nutritious Peanut butter on crackers, a small glass of milk followed by several handfuls of chocolate chips.

Let's just say that Friday and Saturday (yesterday and today) included vegetables among the cupcakes, cake, flan and what not. Blame it on my birthday!
My wonderful DH surprised me with gerbera daisies, garden decor, and three new tops ~ yay! Had 5 adoptions today at the Adoption Center, we got a new computer installed (set up still in progress), and went out to dinner with friends. Balloons, cards, cupcakes.

We have had a couple days of very nice Spring weather. The rain returns tomorrow. It gives me hope that we will once again have sunshine. Tonight I even grilled a small steak for dinner.

Rain tomorrow. My wonderful DH is still out of town. Adoption Center yesterday. Adoption Center tomorrow. Adoption Center Friday. Scoop litterboxes. Feed cats. Take out trash. Do laundry. Yep, living the exciting life over here

My life has been equally exciting. I spent yesterday cleaning up after the leaking new washing machine. That was fixed yesterday and I've now done 5 loads of laundry (about to wash towels), changed the living room furniture and mopped the floor.
Lucy can't figure out what happened.
It's supposed to snow over the weekend--a lot of wet, heavy snow. I won't be home. I extended my out of town hotel another night because of the forecast.

Did the Amazon package arrive?
I got one yesterday. Town is so small it is delivered by USPS. They never knock on the door. Drives me crazy. Knew it was coming and brought it in.

Had an appointment today for what I thought was to replace my iPhone battery. I get there and the store has signs that they have no batteries and you have to pay for it and they will call you when it comes in. Tested my battery (and everyone's battery in front of me) and it needs replaced. ETA: 4 to 6 weeks. That means another hour to the store, 45 minutes to an hour for them to change the battery and another hour back home.

Theo, that sounds like a frustrating process.
LUNCH: Turkey sandwich, apple, Progresso Lite Chicken Vegetable Soup.
DINNER: Grilled sole on a bed of wilted greens (chard, kale and spinach), steamed broccoli + pea pods, roasted beets, grilled asparagus, baby potatoes and some toast.
I am so excited that I do NOT have to go back to the adoption center until NEXT Friday! (I need a break)

I played today. Took DD out to lunch, then we went to a really nice nursery that is down in her area and I bought potato starts. After that we checked out some property I was interested in. Now we know why it has been on the market for so long. We just pulled off the road, sat in the car and looked at the house. It was build in 1910 and I don't think it has been maintained since then. Minor things like a deck that was off the side of the house that looked like it needed to be mowed. There was stuff growing on the deck. You could tell that the window frames were rotting out and this one area of the roof had a very noticeable sway to it.

I've sort of taken a break this week from grownup stuff. Well, not veggies. But with anything non-mandatory, ya know? But I'm still trying to get some sunshine each day, still working online for the cat rescue, still watching my blood sugars.
We ordered chinese for dinner tonight: egg fu young (no sauce), chicken salad, and mu shu pork (no wraps, no plum sauce). It was just nice to have something DIFFERENT, ya know?
Our birdies are plowing through our bird seed like a pit bull on a pot roast.
My wonderful DH bought me a new yard twirly since the winds last week wrecked one he bought for my birthday. This one is sturdier. He said it's part of my 15th wedding aniversary present (early).

Have no idea if my phone needs the new battery I paid for last weekend. I just downloaded the latest version of ios and it says my battery is at 90%. That is not what I was told at the store. I was led to believe my battery might last until the new battery arrives in 4 to 6 weeks.
I am confused.
