Thursday ended up being an incredibly long day. My day started with a 3:30am phone call from the help desk that I had a critical ticket to deal with. I was on call Mon - Thurs. It ended with another critical ticket about 8:30pm that I finished up around 10.
Here is the cute part of that day. DD and family were going to have chili and corn bread for dinner so they brought it over to my house to share with me. DGD saw the Valentine she had given me hanging on the fridge. She wanted it back. She told me that she was just sharing it with me and now it was her turn to have the Valentine. I gave it back to her.
Right now it is in the teens outside but we did have a beautiful sunrise. We are supposed to start warming up tomorrow and into next week which will be nice.

I did kickboxing today (pool closed, coach at a kids' meet), then stopped at the bank and the grocery store; I needed ricotta cheese. I am making a combined lasagna/spaghetti casserole with turkey meatballs I got BOGO this week. I don't have enough lasana noodles, so I will do two spaghetti layers and the top will be lasagna noodles. Planning to run later and bike and mow the front lawn tomorrow.

Good Morning Kids! The sun is out, the temperature is rising, and I'm looking forward to the "big melt".

I made two batches of winter squash bread. It is very yummy but then it had cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger in it, along with some walnuts and chocolate chips. In a bit I'm going to walk a loaf down to the neighbor who gave me the squash. ETA: I took a loaf of the bread down to the neighbor and he gave me 9 eggs, just laid today. He also told me what a couple more of my trees are, there is a peach and an apple in the front. Now to get them lightly pruned and sprayed with some copper.

Looks like today is finally a burn day, so I know what I will be doing. My burn pile is huge, not sure when the last time is that someone actually burned it.

I mean, it has been a morning, let me tell ya. I feel like I've been at work for a day already. I finally get to sit down with y'all for a spell. Dishwasher is running and laundry is next. I scrubbed the shower stall and vacuumed the rugs and tidied the bathrooms. And all that was after a bike ride. I am enjoying my green tea at the moment. Dinner will be mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli and chicken Marsala.

I actually got a last-minute appointment to get Speedy "chipped" today. It's been really hard finding a place to get that done, except the vet. With Covid, some places have temporarily discontinued micro-chipping, so I'm happy to have finally found a place that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

OK..chicken and potatoes prepped for dinner. Laundry done. Dishwasher emptied. I will wash the kitchen floor later on. I mowed the lawn yesterday. I am starting to think about what to take to the bike event next week. I know it is a week away, but this is something I have not done in awhile, so I am trying to think ahead.

Oh my word. Remind me to never take a fur baby to one of those community-type health clinics. There were a lot of people there, and the pets were not taken into rooms to get whatever they needed done. The vet was literally working in an open room where everyone could see what was being done. I did get Speedy micro-chipped, but he got growly with a couple of dogs he shouldn't have while we were waiting. Luck for him the rottweiler and the pit bull were still puppies. I had a harness on him, and was hanging on hard, so he wouldn't get himself into trouble. Why must his breed be so hard-headed?

Good Monday to everyone! /s It's been raining buckets the last day plus so I got to walk through a few streams in the parking lot to get to the car this morning. I have tea and soon to be munching on a bagel. Trying to work but just not feeling it. Everyone take care!

Hi Kids! The great Midwestern melt continues. Lovin' it, except we might get a big snowstorm or rain/ice storm this weekend. So, I'll enjoy the good weather while it lasts.

The part of my driveway that is in the shade all day was very icy when I took the trash out this morning. When I brought the bins back in, it was melting. I hope most of it melts today.
I can't believe my snow plow guy only came once in February.
Hoping he doesn't come a lot in March. He did come a lot in January.

We normally get at least 2 blizzards here in March, TheOtherMe. In fact, it's weird that we're expecting a snow/rain/ice mix this weekend. That doggone global warming!

I need to go wash my car, from the filthy snowstorm we had last week. I can barely see out my windows and it looks and feels gross! Ugh.

Here is you laugh for the day. I got a video from DD yesterday and DGS1 couldn't figure out why Mommy took away the brown egg he found and wouldn't let him keep it in his pocket. He wanted his brown egg in his pocket. They had been over to some people's house that had chickens and he had found an egg. He found it therefore he should be able to keep it in his pocket. I told DD just wait until he breaks it and then wants her to fix it.

I am at work and want to hide already!
I need SOMETHING...I am just not sure if that is caffeine, sugar, carbs or alcohol.

Good Evening Kids! It's been a long day, and a long week, but it's only Wednesday. I got my crown finished today. Then I took DS out & did a bit of shopping.
My car definitely needs a bath, but we're supposed to get a rain/snow mix from Friday into Sunday. So, what's the point?

Driveway is clear. I have to go town today so I will see how long the line is at the car wash. I don't have to go out on Saturday when it is supposed to rain. I want all this stuff from the last snow off the car.
However, it may be snowing by then. If that happens I will not get the car washed.

Today is my Friday. Tomorrow I will drive back to old city and have my 1 year check up from my surgery. My surgeon was wonderful so I don't mind taking a day off and driving 4 hours for a check up. I will have two more 6 months checks and then at the two year mark the check ups go to once a year. My plan is to come back home on Saturday. That doesn't make Mom happy but I have so much to get done around here plus I don't like to do the long drive and then work the next day. Especially since I know Mom won't let me leave as early as I would like so I would end up not getting home until late afternoon or early evening.

There was a fine mist of drizzle/snow falling.

Good Morning Kids! Sorry about the car, TheOtherMe. My car REALLY needs a bath, but with the weather forecast what it is, it'd be a waste of money. I've already been out to pick up some groceries, since maybe I'd prefer to be home the next few days...

All this talk about car washes reminded me to make sure I have my car wash card in my purse for this weekend. I'm headed back to my old city for a doctors appt and of course to see Mom. I'm hoping to only spend one night but that isn't going over very well with Mom.

Hiya peeps! Renewing my computer virus protection tonight (such a fun thing to do on a Friday) but it keeps me from thinking about Sunday's bike event too much. I need to make sure DH's computer is up to snuff when it comes to anti-virus protection, since he is not good about being careful online.
