Good morning womble!
I had much better sleep last night, so I have high hopes for today. It's still really cold and damp outside, and inside too. Yesterday I turned the heat up a degree for the daytime hours and will probably do the same today.
I hope everyone has a productive day!
Diane

can't believe it is already Thursday. cold here and light snow.
yesterday I did the usuals - worked, did dishes, cleaned litter. it was also trash and recycling day so I emptied al the trash cans and got it all to the curb last night.
I had to stop at the store last night as I was running low on wet dog food.
took puppy for a walk -- I had to work late, and stop at store, so when I took puppy it was nearing sundown and so wet outside. I had to hold umbrella in one had and leash in the other. I kept the walk a bit shorter and I kep to the paved paths -- puppy could run alongside in the grass -- but my walk was a little shorter and so she was a little wilder. one big lunge that caught me off guard and i felt so battered! can never relax my diligence with puppy! she was so happy, sweet girl loves the rain.
I know I have mentioned a few times, probably too often, a huge project that I am leading that another dept is trying very hard to derail or make as hard as possible. w/out all the boring details -- they insisted on adding something to the project, we tried to get ti removed, we lost. they cut us out of all communicatons on it. now another dept asked for a report on that aspect and derailers said to talk to me as I am project lead. but they never gave me any information or invited me to any meetings on it. gaslighting I guess.
I am working from home today for the first time in awhile, chaos usually schedules at least one "in person" meeting on my WAH days so I go in for that. today I am WAH properly -- in my pajamas
I have a difficult task to do so my goals is to have it done by noon.
I also need to pay one bill this morning too

thanks Diane, I realized that I could appropriately delegate my difficult task! So I just had a quick meeting and sent a flurry of emails and that should move along much more smoothly. I paid my bill. Started a load of laundry. I rec'd a dentist bill that was twice as high as I expected. For the exact same work I had done one year ago. I called and they reduced it...so it pays to call! They had given me a discount one year ago, and now they did this year too. Diane you must be loving your new shower. can you use it now? I need to make a work to do list; so much is going on! I had a somewhat tense meeting with a vendor yesterday (so I am the client and paying!). They want something done that I cannot guarantee the timeline as I am nto the only one, said I would do my best. Young vendor contact said just so you know, I will be pressuring you to get this done. I said no you will not be. Ugh. we are so overloaded at work -- due to low staffing, lack of direction and prioritazion from Chaos, a bad combo. When I ask her for her view of priorities she says it all needs to be done now! ohblondie I will live through you for the joy of retirement!! I saw a remote job that I might apply for. I am very old to be applying for jobs, but I plan to work three more years at minimum.

Everybody is getting so much done!
Last week I spent the night at DD2's so she could take me to an appointment with my spine surgeon in another city. An exhausting day. Then a week of dog sitting with grandpuppy old girl. Cut short due to tragic accident (details on my blog).
Today I still need to pick up some food, flowers and serving things for a funeral tomorrow. Everything is preordered and paid for. I just show up, things will be put in my car and I will deliver to DD2.
Yesterday DD1 and I ran some errands since my vehicles will be on the street for a while. It was too much for my back even being on meds now and I was very, very sore.
Roof work was supposed to begin today; dumpster was dropped off in driveway, materials dropped off in another part of driveway, but due to weather actual work is postponed til tomorrow. I am glad for a bit of a breather. Diane, I don't know how you were able to hang in there for so many days with your handyman. I would have way stressed. But the end result is worth it, your new shower will be so nice!!
ohblondie continue to have so much fun on your trip!! How nice that you were able to avoid snow in your area!

It was really warm today - and back home they got many inches of snow and many in the Adirondack Mountains are without power. I am counting my blessings.
My DD left to fly home today, SHe has a concert with her friends tonight. I checked into the hotel for the conference. Wow, talk about luxurious! I wish I could afford to travel like this all the time! I had to stop at a shipping store and mail a box home. I sent my extra clothes, dirty clothes and souvenirs. I was worried a couple of items purchased at the WWII museum might get stuck at security. I did more walking and got my last two souvenirs/ My feet are ready to give out. I stopped at a deli and grabbed a sandwich. I am going to eat in my room and watch tv. Eventually I will shower and go to bed.... Tomorrow is the aquarium
we walked over five miles day one 6 miles day 2 7 miles day three..... I have no idea how many today but still so much...
