The small house next door is finally listed for sale, so I was being nosy and watching a couple come to look at it--they always have trouble with the combination lock on the front door, so they were standing out there for a while. Now I'm being nosy, waiting for them to come out, to see if they look like they liked it or not.
I'm eating lunch now too, in between spying on the house hunters...

Good Morning Womble, OhBlondie, Diane and Cando! Happy Humpday!! I have been out of touch through my work days. I returned to work Saturday after a 2 week break. It was nice to be away. My return was a mixed bag of good and blah days. Sunday I got hit with a lot of grumpy people and yesterday was so-so. Monday we should have been closed! I had 9 calls and my coworker had 10 in the 4.5 hours we were available to answer.
Well today started off heated! It is only my son's 2nd day of school since last week was postponed for him with the Covid test and even after his negative results, the nurse couldn't give me a yes or no if he could come Friday. Well his first day yesterday and it was rough afternoon. 45 minutes on the bus home. We hit these problems a few years back and I know they often work themselves out and the transportation dept realizes they have to make some adjustments. Okay I did say I never got this mad at a driver, but there was an English lady who drove my son for a short time and she hit some buttons with me too. But she did some stupid things like walking my son up to the door when I wasn't out right when they came here and leaving OTHER KIDS ALONE! Anyway ... this driver this morning messed up the entire morning. My son was agitated after that long ride yesterday and he kept saying "I don't want to ride that bus ever again!" I explained to him the driver is still learning his route (knowing they might shift kids around on busses) and it will get better. Well with Autism you don't have a filter. So he said to the driver when he got on, "Oh no, not you again." The guy had a defensive answer and told him he didn't have to ride the bus. Okay ... thanks for giving him the GREEN LIGHT! I have to juggle all his emotions and anxiety (as well as mine) every morning! And he was ON. All he needed to do was say NOTHING or something like "get your seatbelt on." Needless to say I lost it! I have not truly yelled at a driver ever. But I did. I am so beyond angry and I let the office know. But unless things change with the routes and a different driver comes on, this will not be a good fit. Everyone will have extra anxiety in the morning -- even the afternoons because he can throw a fit about not wanting to ride the bus home. We had rough patches last year with the short days and a so-so driver. He really wasn't good but you accept it because of Covid and all the changes in staffing. They took what they could get last year. Well it looks like that is the case this year. I yelled at the guy he shouldn't be driving special needs kids and of course he said he's been doing it for years. My husband and I will just juggle things around and drive him now. It's kind of annoying to add another task into the day, but thankfully with my husband switching work days, we can share the responsibility. He will have 2 mornings and I will have 3, but of course need our special needs daughter up and dressed early.
Well now that I have unloaded my baggage here at the door, I am going to make a TO DO list.
Ta Da Get son all ready for school - but he's home today now Get K up and bath routine K's bed changed K's bedding in washer Dishwasher unloaded Fed everyone breakfast (even hubby and I. I made a huge blender of smoothies for all of us except son. He says yuck!) Enter receipts in checkbook and balance
To Do Sign up for evening webinar (I missed the 10 am with all the drama here) Put together hostess packets Fold and put away towels Fold and put away load darks Gather dirty laundry and sort Fold and put away load bedding

I'm eating lunch now too, in between spying on the house hunters... It's great to add the occasional live theater to the usual TV shows and reading! Hope your eventual neighbors will be good ones. MamaAngieI hope that they do get a new driver to drive that route so that you eventually can give it a try, if that's what you want and need.

MamaAngie...I hope the driver situation gets settled. We have such a shortage of bus drivers where I am that I am concerned about who they are hiring. I have two loads of laundry done, consumed leftovers for lunch, still need to start boxing up things. I have an idea in my head of what can go. Work has been so busy - everyone has had problems today! At least I have been able to help them.

I'll admit that only weeds got decluttered the last couple of days. But as the parents will want to see the allotment when they visit I'm classing it as an essential task, took one bag of random trash off the plot to bin it, and the various support posts are now neatly stashed.. I'm relieved to have got a load done before the showery weather comes along in the next few days.. Today's harvest is cooking in my version of a hotpot.. Need to get sandwiches sorted for tomorrow, hopefully it's just a morning shift Thursday, and I'll be able to tackle the latest installment of washing up, and get more progress done in the kitchen....It will be a thrill to actually have a completed room!!

Hi everypony!
had another convo w/ the DPs re: the RV, and we are going to pull the trigger!
I have been doing research on flying to IA, need to coordinate with family to figure out which airport to fly into. So I am waiting for a call back.
I have let everything else go (except the usual checking the accounts) as I am so nervous/excited (or nervoucited as Pinkie Pie says) that I am having extra trouble focusing. I will focus on the dishes/duds/dinner.

Well boxercise class kicked my butt last night - but it felt so good! And I am amazingly spry today! Minor sore muscles. It felt great to really let go with those punches last night! I think I will continue with classes (1x weekly) through the fall.
We had quite a storm last night - thunder and lightening and all. Several communities without power.
Started obsessing over all that needs to get done and be disposed of - so I had to shut off my mind and go to sleep. I am tired today though....
Off to return about a zillion phone calls.
Happy thursday everyone!!
