I'm also making pasta tonight, definitely comfort food. chicken broccoli alfredo, with farfalle. I'm going to roast a broccoli crown, and there's chicken marinating in the last packet of my favorite Weber marinade. end of an era right there, it's been discontinued. We save the ingredients list on stuff like that and try to replicate. It has led to some very tasty concoctions. I've tried to duplicate it, no luck. there's a solid list of stuff, and then just "spices" in the list. not much help. oh well.... I tend to make my own marinades these days, from fresh spices w/o the preservatives. this is just a nostalgic piece of comfort that is going to land well this week.

This is why I still trust no one and wear an N95 mask whenever I go indoors. People no longer care about other people. The CDC does still recommend a 5 day isolation period. Consider how you and he would feel if he gave it to someone at work who gives it to someone to someone with an immune disorder or is elderly and they died. That's on him. He needs to go to the doctor and get the doctor's note for the 5 day isolation. I agree with the 5 days isolation until symptoms are gone, but why go to the doctor? Covid is when I really loosened my sick day rules because any symptom and the kids had to stay home until the test came back negative even when they were 100% not sick. Ds missed 20 days of school the first half of 6th grade not because he was ever very ill and I allowed screen time on those days but he mostly did school work from home anyway. The doctor note would cover the unexcused days set by the employer.

We constantly get solicitations for various Medicare plans, many fliers and postcards. DH excitedly waved a postcard about (I think) a Cigna plan and said he was going to "take it to read". Again, finally, I've just elected to walk away while strongly encouraging him to do all the research and find something he's happy with

I assume you mean that your employer doesn't pay for the isolation days anymore because the CDC still recommends quarantine time. That's pretty shitty of the employer. It still doesn't change the fact that he's contagious and someone could die from exposure to him. It's the decent thing to do to quarantine in an effort to limit the exposure to others. I'm saying it's unexcused as well as not paid and he's worked here all of 3.5 weeks...
This is what the CDC says. It has been 5 days since symptoms began and I don't think he has had a fever at all (although AFAIK he only temped himself on Saturday and Sunday). He didn't test until Sunday morning but he was getting a sore throat/cough Thursday night before we left. He was also packed like sardines in a shuttle/plane/van with up to 13 family members all day Friday and nobody else got sick and would wear a mask to work.
Did it change again? I thought it was 5 days quarantine after positive test then 5 days masked.

Speaking of critters. BIG ASS snake on my walking trail last night when I was mowing! I've only seen 2 snakes (besides grass snakes) since moving here 24 years ago and this one was so big. I was going along mowing my trail and saw what I thought was a baby deer or a human arm or leg (seriously thought it was a body for a split second), until I realized it was part of a snake draped over the trail. It brought it's head around for a bit and I'm PRETTY sure it was a bull snake and not a rattler, but I didn't have enough time to process. I was afraid to move in case it was a rattler so just sat still and waited for it to leave on it's own. I know they can strike the length of their body distance away and my leg was maybe 2 feet away from what had to be a 6 foot long snake.
I'm not afraid of snakes, but stumbling basically on top of one that I'm not sure is venomous or not was unpleasant.
Eek!

Back to the grind. Piano and tennis tonight and Carrot needs to give a speech tomorrow night that his dad was supposed to help him with the past 4 days he was at his house. He doesn't even have a topic yet. 😡
I don't know why I bother asking him to help with stuff like that.

As we are talking Covid anyway: I just bought a pack of 75 surgical masks for $2.99 at Costco. Not that I needed them but I just couldn't resist. A quick search in my Amazon history shows that in May 2020 I bought a box of 50 masks for $43.59!!! And I was glad to have them at the time Now there is something that has not suffered from inflation like just about everything else has

y'all, I went back for seconds of the pasta, and I want to curl up in a ball on the couch. I forgot to move my sheets and stuff from the washer to the dryer before I left this am (LD came in with muddy paws at 2am ) and so I'd need to at least re-rinse and spin first. did I think to do that when I first got home? no. oh, and I just stumbled onto Ocean's Eleven - the Clooney/Pitt remake, right as they are starting the actual heist. so we all know I'm not leaving the couch until at least 845 when it's over lol... I may just sleep down here tonight.

alright, I surprised myself. during a commercial break, I went up and packed up the leftover pasta. I came down and started a rinse/spin cycle as well. I'll finish loading the dishwasher when this is over. Yan is currently landing explosives in the vault. ironically, it's airing on TNT if anyone's interested. lol...

Round two of internet fun at work today. Tech from last night kept grumbling, but replaced a wire outside, replaced our modem (singular) with 2 new pieces of equipment, and we had internet but not wifi, and there was some comment that we didn't have a static IP address, and another tech would be out in the morning (he was calling in sick - mental health day). No one showed all morning, and there was an email that the ticket was closed out because we had internet (apparently the first tech mentioned he was closing out the ticket so HE would get the credit for the fix, not the next guy). Boss called AGAIN, new tech came out, replaced one of the pieces replaced last night, called a bunch of other guys asking questions like "it doesn't matter which spot I plug connections in, right?", and at least 2 different people told him we had active service (from their POV) while we were waiting for *something* to change. Tried to call J, the network guy at Central, hoping he could explain our wifi setup to tech, but got voicemail. Eventually internet came on again (still no wifi) but apparently back on our normal IP addr (so linked services worked again) and he left. J called back, and spent nearly an hour remotely trying to fix things. Now we had wifi, but no internet to the networked PCs. He called Spectrum, got denied access w/o the magic 4 digit code (he had the 6 digit code, same as we had). That person was just WRONG. Eventually found one useful employee and got us fixed! J also gave us the contact info for the person who handles our special hybrid library accounts (not residential, not business, but national-apparently). And of course whatever changes were made will change our billing, but Central reimburses us eventually, something, something,... Naturally, things were crazy busy while internet/wifi were out. Once restored, everyone had left. At least then I could catch up on everything ignored/impossible earlier.

Got three different message threads going with different neighbors. Some of these folks are going to go way later than I can, so I'll have to silence my phone at bedtime. I need to figure out how to set different text tones for different people.

Only because he needs a doctor's excuse for anything over 3 days.

One success story today. A woman from out of town had called Saturday asking for help finding the address of someone (MC) living in the village in 1910. Monday I started researching on Ancestry and LOC Sanborn maps, until we lost internet. Coincidentally, another woman donated a book she'd made - a diary of someone in 1901 in the village. The historian indexed all the hundreds of named people in that one year's diary. Unfortunately MC was not included. We sent the historian over to our village historian K to talk local history. Today, our village historian K came in to see the book - she apparently had a photo of a group associated with the diary, including a young AW who had written several local histories in our collection. I asked K if she could help with the search for MC's address. I'd narrowed the location down to a portion across from the current HS, based on street names mentioned on the 1910 census (looking at pages before and after his record). K called me up excited - MC lived in HER house! The name seemed familiar, she looked at her original deed - yep, MC bought the house in 1905 for $1500. K called the woman looking for the info - turns out she's the sister of the wife of a local restaurant owner/caterer who's helping research his mother's family (hopefully I got all the connections right). No idea why she's doing it from afar when they are right here, but Talk about a small world.

We had a very brief power outage, just long enough to have to reset the microwave and stuff. Still texting with one group.

We had a very brief power outage, just long enough to have to reset the microwave and stuff. I haaaate when that happens! We have one clock that is difficult to set (so difficult my DH actually can’t figure it out) that he got me for our very first Christmas together. It’s not even valuable, just a digital clock that has my alma maters mascot on it. Anyway, because it’s so old, we don’t have the instruction manual (and it’s not online) so when the power goes off, if I’m out of town, he just lives with it until I get home. Lol. Not only does the time reset to 12pm, but the date also resets to August 18, 2001. Maybe that’s the date the clock was made? I didn’t even know DH then. Anyway, it’s annoying and hilarious every time it happens. I hope you all are staying cool!

I’ve never thought that was done I’m doing genealogy and think theotherme also. I use ancestry.com mostly. Does your library have this? Can patrons use it?

I’ve never thought that was done I’m doing genealogy and think theotherme also. I use ancestry.com mostly. Does your library have this? Can patrons use it? We do have a subscription to ancestry.com, you have to use it IN the library, either on a public PC or using our wifi. That was one of the glitches this morning - swapping our IP addr disconnected us from ancestry so it was inaccessible until J fixed stuff. It's a pretty expensive subscription, so we WANT patrons to use it to get value out of it. I poke around when there's a reference question, to stay at least somewhat conversant with the interface. It seems to change frequently. I'm also curious. I was just poking around in the Library of Congress map collection, comparing successive years to see how the village changed over time. I'm always trying to track the library building itself - it was a dwelling donated in 1945 as a memorial for those who served in WWII. I'm not sure when it was built, there's always a tiny structure on all the maps I can find, with varying extensions to the back. In the 1980s a major addition was done, adding the children's section and a second floor meeting room above it. But judging by changes in the foundation, there were earlier extensions, too. The original footprint is quite small, maybe 20' x 20', but it has a lovely cobblestone facade to the original foundation, hinting it might date to the 1840s. We don't have a local historian on staff any more, she retired. As my current director says, that staffer was more of a scrapbooker than a true historian. But answering reference questions is a basic library service, as best we can.

We made it to Olympia. The flight was close to an hour late leaving, made up some of the time going up. About half an hour late though.
Son had to work tomorrow and he is like his dad goes to bed about 9 as he gets up really early. So this is late for him.
Then realized the keys to the house and my car was at his house, so had to run by there to get them. But I'm home, DD is in bed, the place warmed up, I'm showered sitting and about ready to go to bed. Taking pills and eating maybe a can of tuna, I'm nibbling on it. Eating food with the sulfa drug is better otherwise messes with my stomach a bit.
The outside of the mobile looks great, even in the dark I can see it. I'm sure it will be very pretty tomorrow in the daylight. We need motion detector outside lights so you can see to unlock the door.
The house smells stored, so going to have to use something to help alleviate that odor.
Hubs brought up some wool area rugs we no longer use and put them down, they look great in here.
Looks like a rent increase in October already, $45 a month, so not too bad, but also says they can raise if taxes and such go up during the year. Don't remember reading that anywhere. Well here's hoping.
Just glad to be here, going to see what an upgrade to 1st class cost for next time. I think it would be a lot more comfortable, but likely prohibitive.

Good morning, thoughtful and thorough invisipeeps, tending your families and work. Welcome to Wednesday, all day. I hope yours is an easy and productive day resulting in all things to be done completed well. Speaking of Covid, I'm pretty much over it except for once or twice a day when I have a deep coughintg fit. I hope those end very soon. I wake with them. It is so nice to have back my sense of taste. Speaking of taste, I ordered a few pountds of short ribs from the local farmer. I found what is clearly a fabulous recipe for them braised, in the NY Times. I or DH will make them to bring with us to Maine for a meal with family up there this holiday. Another meal will be lobster. We had scattered but severe thunderstorms yesterday. I found the following from last week taken down by the pickleball courts:

I need to order an ironing board.
Our air quality is really bad here too. I didn't realize the fires are still burning. We talked about how it looked like smoke, guess it is.

I messed up scheduling ds appointments. He had one for next Monday on the 3rd, which seemed inconvenient, I thought she could reschedule for 7/21, but it was 8/21 which is after school starts. I called 10 minutes later to change it back and they had already put someone else in that appointment for the 3rd. I don't do well when I can't see it, and feel rushed. I enter everything in my phone calendar while I am making the appointment and set up reminders at the same time. DD has my beautician do her hair about once a year if that. She is going to Saltlake City for a hiring event in about a week, then to Michigan for a few days for a birthday party for her boyfriend’s Dad, then to Europe for a mini vacay. She stopped in to request T cut her hair, T not there but the lady that made the appointment said you are D right? I will put you in on Xday at 6:30 you are right in front of your Mother. DD and I are just so impressed. We were laughing, I said maybe T talks about us so much everyone knows who we are. Giramomma: glad you had positive feedback even though you did not get the job. Praying you get something soon. I was reading on my petite reddit site and a lady had a couple cute dresses from Amazon, so I checked it out. I ended up with 2 in my cart, one for $15.99 and the other about 34.99. I decided to just buy the $34.99 one. It looks pretty good. DD said maybe a size smaller. Idk, I have big hips, so not sure if a smaller size is better than just adjusting a few seams. I need to get back on diet/exercise regimen. We have pretty bad smoke here from Canadian Wildfires. The dogs and I did our usual 2 walks around block, and my eyes were burning & have a sore throat. I am thinking it us the smoke rather than some virus. Our Pergala came this am. It is in 6 boxes rn. DH has some work ahead of him.

I ended up falling asleep downstairs, which is fine. when my alarm went off, I woke up to hearing what I figured was a major thunderstorm upstairs overhead. I confirmed that by turning on the news, and it looks like it's going to be t-storms over my house all morning. LD is comatose on the other end of the couch, which wouldn't have been the case upstairs.
need to get moving, though. I'm driving a friend to work, around the corner from the doggy daycare, so I can't let the time slip today. maybe I can take a quick nap when I get home, before I log in to work.

Apparently while there are fewer fires, and not by much, some new ones started from lighting strikes. I am concerned that smoke will be headed our way and I am struggling enough without adding walking through wildfire smoke to my days.

Once a month they have members of a group - can’t think of name at this moment - but they come to genealogy department to help people in their search. You can bring all the papers you have to help. All the census books and such are at this branch only. But we can access the full on ancestry.com at all library branches in the county and from home. There is a time limit placed on research using ancestry.com. I think it is two hours per “visit”. Should say genealogy department is open just like regular library. just group that helps is once a month. But employee in that department is very knowledgeable! I starting using it back in the days when old newspapers had to be viewed on microfilm Or at least I think that is what it is. Back in 82.

Finally submitted expense report for trip I took in May. OOPS. New boss wants to travel together, but not, to visit at least the 6 largest facilities this year. Many are spread out though. 3 are within driving distance for me, 2 in Kansas, and 1 near Boston. So I am trying to coordinate those around my own much needed vacations.

I have never used Ancestry at the library, but I remember the days of going through microfiche. I remember sitting in the basement of the Iowa State Historical building looking for an aunt and uncle's marriage record. We never found it. Last year, their daughter tells me they got married in Omaha. In fairness, she did not know that until her dad died and she was going through his file of what to do when I die.

Super tired. Helped Carrot with his speech until about 10 before starting my normal wind-down for the night so it was well after midnight before I got to bed. Then I had to go beat down the other kid yelling in the basement. I know it's going to be one of those days when I say F it and break out my lunch when I sit down at my desk in the morning. Normally I skip breakfast, but today I need the extra boost.
