Just work. Altho we're starting User Acceptance Testing of a new system module which I will be primary support for my department ... I don't have a 'warm fuzzy' yet, because I don't trust the group that serves as liaison between us (the users) and the IT development team. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised by how the module turned out.

Laundry, and going to lunch in Valley (my old hometown).

another day inside...laundry is caught up, dishes done, and dinner is on (crock potting boneless pork, with sweet sourkraut)

i've been on a rereading kick of fern michels 90's books...a couple i didn't remember reading the first time, lol...

I'm working today. After supper, I will just hang out with the dogs, in the back yard. I might do some laundry tonight, so that my whole weekend won't be taken up with it though.

This is Nita.

We are going to just relax today since Bobby and I are flying out tonight at 9:30. will head out for Mn/St Paul around 4. We will get into Tucson at 1:15AM and then have a long drive home. Probably won't get home until 4am.

DH and I are getting out to run errands today and look at some houses in town that we've had our eye on. Oh, and clean the tile floors before we go.

I'll do some deadheading in the flower beds and then take a marathon bubble bath. I'm gonna take my Sweetie Pie shopping for her BD. Gonna do some business w/ the stock broker, do a little Wal-Mart shopping, and going to dinner w/ some friends. Throw in a load of laundry and some phone visits w/ buddies, oh! and a trip to the hosp. to visit an old friend. That should do. If I have any extra time, I've got a great new library book, and there's always the 'puter. Geez Louise, ain't retirement grand?

Already had my morning walk, am eating breakfast now. No other plans, maybe go for another walk this afternoon and do some geocaches.

I got up bright and early to go to an eye appointment. Why did I make a 8 am appt?!!! I'm tired but not going back to bed, as much as I want to. I was going to drive to Lexington to take some tuition cancellation paperwork to work but may do that tomorrow if I get up early enough.

Going to listen to yesterday's radio program of Dave Ramsey right now and then later this afternoon I have to take Alex for his follow up appointment for his oral surgery.

It's raining here so I probably won't be doing any yard work like I thought I might today. So, maybe just sit out in the sunroom and read.

gonna tackle the junk room today and see if I can't start some ebaying again...i got up early to go garage saling and changed my mind after my gf called and said not to bother...so i guess i'll work on trying to get the basement organized! One more week at home from my little 6 month hiatus...

I'm going to Houston to see my daughter. Don't plan to stay long, and get home early enough to get my evening chores finished before dark....which almost never happens here when I am home by myself.

Hubby and I went to breakfast this morning. I have to take him to a dr. appointment at 11:00. When I get home, I want to clean the bathroom. The rest of my day is up for grabs. Vique

This is my off day...I did get the house in order and DH is leaving soon to help with the elderly bingo and then I'm off and running...Not sure where, but there are a couple of cosignment shops I want to hit...I love Thursdays.....

I'll finish the monthly city newsletter, then take DGS to McDonalds's for lunch. We're supposed to get some rain today, which will be great...no rain here since mid-June! The lake is a foot low, which is bad since we still have August to go through. :(

I gave a potential client a quote on removing a dead basswood tree from his yard.
My next stop was to stake a small maple tree and then do some soil sampling for the local Farmers Coop.
But, as I was coming into town to stake the tree the sirens started to blow and the radio announced that there was a Severe Thunderstorm/Tornado Warning for my county. Probably not the best time to be out in someones yard with a metal stake in my hands. ;-0 The worst has blown through but its just raining now.
Maybe by this afternoon.

Continuing on my deep cleaning binge. My right arm is killing me from all the scrubbing. Those Dirty Windows are calling, but I don't think I can handle that today.

Washing Bedding, Dog Blankets, Dog Rugs and weeding out my closet even more. My Niece is coming in on Sunday and I am trying to get some hand-me-downs for her. She has been in Rehab in Florida for 3 months. She wants to stay in a Motel instead of my house. Hmmm! I'm suspicious of that.

Just finished my 3 mile walk with my dog and am sitting in front of the fan and computer cooling off. Then I have to fix breakfast for the grandson and change shoes and mow lawns today. Later I'll set up the umbrella in the garden and turn compost and start a fresh bin. It's not bad out if you have shade and the umbrella was a GREAT investment! When the trees finally shade the garden, I'll go out with my stool and bucket and weed. The weeds go to the chickens who think they have died and gone to heaven. Saves on feed bills too.

Enjoyed a fine visit with niece and husband, plus two teen "children" - who've developed a great deal since my visit three years ago. Oldest son away to univ., so didn't see him.

Had another visit to Stone Moountain ... and to a gold mine (state heritage site). A bit concerned aout a certain aspect of southern stories ...see another thread.

Computer *extremely* slow, shut it down and now it's more normal.

Getting ready to travel back to Ontario.

No potential meetings en route home, it appears.Should take a little over a day on the road.

I'm feeling a bit conscience (not "stricken" or "smitten" ... just "touched", I guess,) over using all of that precious petroleum ... and adding some more to the warming and pollution of our environment.

I'm not anticipating any trouble with the vehicle - the driver may be the weakest link ... and, as you know, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Wish me a safe journey, if you please.

God speed, Ed. Hope your trip home is pleasant. How many miles do you travel a day, anyway? If you're in Gainesville, GA and going to Ontario, it seems to me to be at least a two day trip.

I've been a cleaning fool today. We're getting ready to leave for the mountains on Saturday and will be gone two months. All I have left to clean is the laminate floor in the Florida room. Tomorrow is gather, pack and pack the car. I can't wait to be there. The weather is so cool at nights. In fact, we've used our air maybe twice since we've owned the camper.

I got an adapter thingie for my laptop so hopefully I can get WiFi up there. If not, I'll have to use my BIL's computer 'cause I gotta have my KT fix.

Liz--can't believe it's been six months since your surgery. Are you all better?
