Good Morning Kids! The angry bear wouldn't let me visit here for awhile. And, within the past hour, it was so dark outside that it looked like night instead of day. It must be Monday. Haven't gotten the "angry bear" for awhile now. Instead, from Saturday afternoon until this morning, my virus protection would NOT let me open the board at all. Kept telling me it had "successfully aborted the connection due to the site being infected with Malware." Tried one last time this morning before calling my IT person and lo and behold, got access again
My refreshing spring air has been short lived. 85 and very humid out, so "canned air" is now on and windows are closed.

That happened to me over the weekend too with my AVG virus protection. I had to go into settings and select this URL was safe.

Good Evening Kids! It's been a long day.
DS had a seizure today. I'm blaming the weather, as we've gone from snow flurries a few weeks ago, up to possible 90 degree temps tomorrow. It's a very extreme change for this part of the country. Remember when I said we're going straight from Winter to Summer?

Good Evening Kids! It's been another full day. Yes, it's been humid here, so I've been making sure that DS is staying hydrated. And, not only do we have a tornado watch here, but the man made famous by the show "Storm Chasers", Reed Timmer, is currently following a storm in our state, so it could be an interesting evening.

My main concern is, we got a LOT of rain. Tomorrow's forecast is almost identical to today's, only it'll be hotter. If we get another line of strong winds, with the wet ground, more trees could be coming down. (And yes, we did end up getting a tornado warning, but we're just fine. And, so is DD's place.)

Yesterday was a long day. I lost internet around 7:30am which isn't good when you work from home. Finally around noon I went over to DD's and hooked up to her internet and was able to do some work. I hung around DD's for a little bit and then did the after school pick up with her and surprised DGD that Grandma came to pick her up from school. By the time I got home from all that it was too late to start working in the yard. I know that I will regret not getting my fruit trees sprayed yesterday. ETA: I got internet back around 4:30pm so a very long outage

It's supposed to be 93 today. I have lived long enough that with so much humidity, that clean lead to storms.

Good Morning Kids! The winds from yesterday's storm was worse than I'd thought. My next door neighbor has a privacy fence around her patio, and she lost a panel. My neighbor across the street got damage to her tool shed. And, I've got a grocery bag firmly wedged into one of my lilac bushes, but that's nothing serious. Our next round of storms is supposed to arrive after dark tonight. I don't want anything to come of that, since I need to be at the hospital tomorrow morning with my relative for his surgery. Plus, DD has begun to date a nice young man, and I'm hoping to get to meet him tomorrow night.

Ugh. That would make me crazy. Is your service with Comcast?

Good Morning Kids! I'm off to go to the hospital to be with my relative as his surgery is today. You all behave while I'm gone, ok? I will be gone most of the day, into the evening, so don't worry if I don't check in.

We have set records for high temperatures the last two days. I hope today isn't a 3rd record day. It's too hot for this early in the season.
If this is summer, I missed spring while I was gone.

Happy Friday the 13th Muffins!!!
We are hovering in the 70s and 80s for the next week with no moisture at all in the forecast. We need rain!
For those in the path of any severe storms stay safe!
Have a Fantastic Weekend!!!

Hiya peeps! It is storming out right now. I finished work, tossed the red potatoes and pork loin in the oven and headed outside to mow the back lawn -- fastest I ever did it, I think. I could hear thunder in the distance, so that is what we call incentive here.
We really need the rain; the back lawn was downright crunchy.
This weekend: finally order the coffee machine, fill in more of the race schedule starting in September, decide on what to register for in the big October swim meet, pay for the upcoming swim banquet (I achieved a top ten ranking for the 400 IM), go to WalMart, the bank and get some fish for dinner.

Good Evening Kids! I spent a long day at the hospital, and am now home trying to unwind. The temp is a comfortable 72 degrees. Glad we made it to the weekend!

Is your relative going to be ok? Unfortunately while in surgery they found another problem. He's going to need one more surgery. But, the surgeon is confident the problem can be fixed, so there's that anyway...

Did today's surgery go well, at least? Yes. They were running late, as hospitals often do, but they took good care of him, which is most important. I'll sit in the waiting room for hours, as long as the patient I'm waiting for receives the very best care.

DD was supposed to come over today and we were going to have one of our all day work in my yard sessions. Mother Nature has other ideas as it's raining. The rain is supposed to taper off this morning so DD and I are going to go to a local Spring Bazaar and see what they have. Hopefully the rain stops in the next hour or two like the weather nerds are predicting.

And a good Saturday to my assorted peeps! Long swim and got my runaround chores done. Got a new breakfast cookie recipe baking in the oven (rolled oats, almond flour, maple syrup for sweetening, lots of seeds, a little peanut butter, dark chocolate, dried cherries, coconut and would you believe, a bit of olive oil) and it does make the house smell awesome.

I'm tired, the kids ended up being here all day. DD and I went and did a quick once around the craft show, didn't see anything that really interested us. DSIL came along today as he got off work early due to the rain this morning. This afternoon was gorgeous. DSIL did a ton of work around the place and I didn't do much of anything other than watch the kids some.
DD and DSIL put together my new chicken coop and hauled it out to where it will be. DD says the chickens will be ready to come over in a couple of weeks. Not really crazy about the idea of having chickens but I do love the farm fresh eggs and the price of eggs is outrageous right now. DSIL also put a new regulator on my gas grill. I think with the move that something got knocked around and I would smell gas whenever I would turn on the grill. Then he ran home and picked up a bunch of the herbicide they use on the farm and sprayed my pastures for weeds. We hope to have the pastures ready for cows, maybe by fall. We could probably put a couple of cows out there now but we really want everything to be in good order before we get the animals. We had major drama this afternoon. DGD has this red rubber worm thing that the preschool teacher gave her because she had good manners. She lost it at my place when they spent the weekend here a few weeks ago. Today she found it and was so happy and had been playing with it all afternoon. I don't know if it was on purpose or not but in the hands of DGS1 the worm ended up under the deck. Not sure if he dropped it and it fell between the boards of the deck or if he just stuffed it down there. After they left Grandma came to the rescue. I got out a flashlight and a pair of kabob sticks and located the worm. It took a few tries but was able to get the worm draped over one of the kabob sticks and lift it up.

I went to DGD1s dance recital today. Preschoolers are so fun to watch in things like this. They were darling.
Afterward, DD1, her friend and I went out to lunch. They bought mine, to thank me for dog sitting. It was really good and I enjoy their company. Plus I had a LOT of leftovers, I brought home, which will be good.
DD2 has applied false lashes for me a few times now. The attach to (under) your natural lashes and look quite good. Since my essential tremors have gotten too bad for me to apply mascara, it's nice to have lashes again.
I had a good day! 🙂

Did a bridge run this morning to prep for my next two races (both with elevation changes), came home and made French toast. Got the last load of laundry in and tidied the bathrooms. Also baked off the cookie dough in the fridge. Need to make frozen yogurt and wash the car later.
