It is chilly out there but sunny, so that's helpful.
WOW! You are late in here today! Did you sleep long and hard after your day yesterday with Weis? Sounds exactly like you said.....interesting yet boring! Glad your foot didn't hurt after standing for 2 hours!
Not necessarily sleeping much later but feeling lazier not having to roll out of bed and a million things I need to do. I am going to miss that part of my home confinement.
I usually play twice a week. It is addicting. I would play more often if I could. I encourage everyone to try it. You never know until you try.
Where do you play? I'd have to find a game I could play incognito.
I am a klutz, sure, but I also have the worst hand-eye coordination and know I would embarrass myself
You should see me play video games with the family. We play Mario Kart and everyone will be finished for hours. Meanwhile, I am still puttering around the track, crashing into every obstacle while they laugh at me.
Morning everyone and Happy Monday! It is a grey drizzly kind of day here. No outside yard work for me today. That's ok I did so much over the past couple of days that my back and legs could sure use the break! The weeds never stop do they?!
They do not. If it weren't for weeds, I wouldn't have a "lawn." Did you and your Gary find some new boots for him? I hope the weather is good for the hike tomorrow.
It was quite a weekend. Saturday traveling to DC - we drove 2 hours to a western suburb and took the metro into the mall. Lots and lots of people and signs. Then we took the metro a few stops further to meet my nephew and his girlfriend for an early dinner. Back on the metro to the car, then drive home. I had to drive 16 miles on I66 before we get to the state highway that heads to Charlottesville, and I didn't feel like dealing with the traffic so I took the express lanes. I don't drive in DC much so I don't quite comprehend the whole express lane pricing, which changes. Not to mention you get about 1/10 of a second to look at it as you drive at 65 mph past the signs. I looked at my EZ Pass account this morning and my laziness cost me $35. But then, I figured nephew paid for dinner so we're still ahead.
I don't blame you for taking the express lanes, well worth the EZ charge, IMHO. Why is that cost higher? I am thinking how the Garden State Parkway is the same $ whether you take the local or express lanes, so I guess it feels odd that it would cost more.
My daughter (who claims 5' but I'm sure is stretching that last inch) has such a hard time finding cars she can drive. Whenever they need a new one they have to visit so many dealers to get one that will fit the kids plus stuff, and yet she can still reach the pedals.
I feel her pain! I was 4'11 3/4 and I know I am shorter than that now. I drive an old CRV which is perfect. DD has an Equinox, and I love the features in it but I feel like I am sitting way too low. DS has a 4Runner and that thing is a boat! He had me drive it when he lived here, so I would get used to it. Took it out (with him) a couple of times and nope. Toooo big!
I don't know how so many places that are vital to the welfare of a large number of our brothers & sisters are going to manage.
I know
Weis is a non-profit but doesn't get any Federal funding. Which is bad-- and good at the same time. Good that it isn't anything we relied on, bad that it is tough to get donations. Especially right now.
One of the priorities for the upcoming year is community building. That is going to be very important. if you have any suggestions or things that you do with your trail conference, I would love to hear about them.
@tiffany scraps I haven't tricked pickle ball either. From the sounds of it, they may be a rush on the ER if Chris, Trudy and I all try it as we all admit to being klutzes
but we (me for sure) would provide entertainment while trying.
Good thing that we don't live in the same area! The ERs can handle it if we all went in separately, not possible if we played together.
Not much happening here today. Its Monday so I will be doing laundry and cleaning house. Might try a light workout but nothing too strenuous. Its currently raining but suppose to snow later. Off to get more coffee. HAGD
I hope that you did everything you needed to and felt amazing afterward!!
This YEAR goes by quickly. I cannot believe we're in April already. We had our anniversary yesterday (35 years together, married for 31) ... I mean, talking about time rushing by. But, boy do I love my man!
Congrats, you two lovebirds!
I am sorry that everything is yucky. I'm glad that reading is providing an escape = at least for a little while. Whatever you do, do NOT read Station Eleven. I was in the mood for something dark and dystopian and that popped up as a recommendation. It was a very good book but "too soon." The world collapses after a SARS pandemic. So think COVID crossed with The Walking Dead but no zombies. Wait a few years (decades) before you attempt that one.
Morning, all. It felt so different not having DD#1 here. It is amazing how quickly having her here seemed "normal" and not having her here this morning... seemed so different. But she did call me this morning for a quick chat.
All the family members are back to their homes safe and sound... even if they had to deal with traveling in bad weather. DD#2's son stayed on with her for a few more days. So glad he decided to do that. Hopefully things will settle back into a more normal routine for all the family.
Everything must feel so weird. There was so much emotional upheaval in your life. Here's to finding some stability, whatever that means.
Your weather is crazy!
Went out for a brisk walk this morning 37 degrees. Made two laps at the park before I called it and went home to switch out laundry. Monday is laundry day.... has been for as long as I can remember.
37* was pretty much where it landed here, today is going to be chillier. I am so ready for summer.
You all crack me up about Monday being Laundry Day. I do laundry every few days or whenever we run out of clothes, or when the mood hits, or when Cait/Tom or Scott don't need the washer. Very much hit or miss. LOL!
It's for Cheyl's AJ challenge and I can't wait to post it.
Then I will try to get back to scrapping.
