This morning I got the first coat of paint on the front deck railings. Kind of like putting lipstick on a pig. The railings are in bad shape but this should buy me a couple more years.

Good morning all, I need to do some garden work today. It looks like it will be a hot one although. I will also enter yesterday's receipts in my spending tracking system.
I hope you all have a great Sunday. oakheart

I did my run this morning, but it was a tough one; I finished all my water while I was out there. Fixed breakfast, washed the kitchen floor, did laundry and dinner is cooking: crock pot beef stew with onions, potatoes, carrots and I will add some leftover corn, gravy, meatballs and rice from another meal when the stew is almost done. Should be enough for tonight plus an extra meal. I need to wash the car later.

Good Morning Kids! I've already done church online, and right now I'm listening to a Bible study. It's another cloudy, gloomy day, although the nasty weather has missed us, at least so far... Breakfast looks great, NancysSummerSip! <Busy goes for the fresh fruit and some bacon.>

I put a little Easter in brunch today, trying to make everyone thing of spring and cooler weather. Might not help much though. Temps here supposed to reach 105, which is actually unusual for us. Problem is we're not getting a sea breeze today.

Giving the deck rails a second coat of paint this morning but will grab some fruit and a bagel to snack on while working. I have developed a runny nose and cough starting yesterday late afternoon. Normally I wouldn't even think anything about it since it is so light but now I worry. Obviously I feel fine since I'm painting but took an allergy pill and hope that clears it up. It does seem to be helping.

Sorry about the heat, NancysSummerSip. Normally, a good ocean breeze does help. Do you have any sea turtle nesting sites near you?

Just had a decent rain move through -- perfect for the lawn and garden. That should be it for the day as the rain moves inland. Dinner is making the house smell amazing right now.

We're finally getting a decent amount of rain. I won't need to water the vegetable garden this evening.

Good Afternoon Kids! I didn't sleep well last night. We had quite a lightening show going on here, with a bit of rain. And, a mosquito that was buzzing around that neither DH nor I could spot & slap at when we turned on the light. It must be another 2020 thing. Ninja mosquitoes.

Good afternoon all, I am getting on a little late today. We had a bad storm yesterday late afternoon. No major damage on my property although.
Have a great day all! oakheart

Yesterday was a wild ride. The night before I did a late evening check of work e-mails and saw that I was invited to a re-org discussion meeting. I knew what that meant and where I would be moving and was not happy. I cried most of the night. The meeting was originally scheduled for Wednesday then they changed it to Tuesday. I don't like the lady who is going to be my new director. The only saving grace is this whole thing is my boss was also part of the deal. They broke our group apart and the boss and I are moved over to the new area. He will still continue to be my direct supervisor. I had hoped to be able to stay where I am until retirement, 7-10 years, now I don't know if I can put up with that women that long. ETA: If there is a silver lining to all this my nemesis is staying with the old group. She wanted my title, and more so my pay, without the knowledge or doing the actual work. I even had started a journal about all the crap she was pulling at work because I had heard she like to run to HR with complaints about people. She was supposed to be my semi-backup, know just enough to cover a couple main job functions, and she couldn't handle even that. Of course every time she messed something up it was because I hadn't trained her. She flat out refused to read a manual.

Good Morning Kids! I need to bring my car in for service this morning, & there are thunderstorms heading our way during the time I'll be there. I'm so sorry Sharon. I know you like your boss, but maybe it's time to dust off your resume? 7-10 years could seem like an eternity if you don't like your job. The longest I stayed at a job I absolutely hated was 3 years, and I wasn't sure I'd hang in there until I found another job.

Morning all. Off the rest of the week. Slept in a bit this morning. Went and got my blood work and took myself out to my favorite breakfast place. The place was always crowded on the weekend cannot imagine how crowded it is now with reduced capacity.

Grrr. Not one of my better days. The dealership couldn't find the leak in my tire. And, I can't get my computer screen to wake up, so right now I'm posting on DD's computer. If you don't see me much today, at least you know why. Stupid technology!

Sorry Sharon I also would start looking for a different job. 7 to 10 years is a very long time, especially if you are not happy.

Whew! What a day. Fortunately, DH had day shift today, so we went shopping together tonight for my computer. I am now the proud owner of a new, bigger HP computer monitor. Hopefully it'll work. For a long, long time.

Good Morning all, I hope your day turns out to be a good one. I have to get my EFTPS payment on its way today. What can you do? Uncle Sam wants his cut.

Good Morning Kids! We got our first offer on our former house, and I'm crunching numbers to see if the offer will work. I don't know about your part of the country, but real estate is moving slowly in our former state. Stupid COVID-19!
