205.3 Holding steady.... Time soon for a drop me thinks.
Oh, my legs are gonna be sore by the end of today. I guess I hit the legs harder than I realized. But I had a WONDERFUL leg appreciation day yesterday. I think you know my mom and aunt were always hyper critical of my thick and short legs. My mom a little less so, but my aunt was ruthless going so far as to tell me I should not wear shorts ever because my legs were that unsightly. Slowly over the past few years I have gained a real appreciation for the strength and musculature of my legs - especially my calves. Yesterday I asked a trainer at the gym to snap a few photos of my calves. DANG! I think my legs rock! Short, bowed, but they still FINE! LOL! I can't post it here, so I'll put a pic on TT.
Ophthalmology department called today to schedule my cataract surgery. It's next Thursday. LOL! Another day off school before I go. LOL! Oh, well.... Either next Thursday or wait until August, Sept, or October.
Too much on my plate today after school.... Visit with dad, check his PO Box, I have a phone appointment with a bronze artist for the national dog club at 3, a client at 3:30, have to bathe and trim Buster and hit the gym....Not much else today...
Just another Thursday....

He had a very tall ladder and just straddled it like it was nothing! I told him I really struggle to climb a ladder over the third rung.
They are flower shaped shortbread cookies with either pink or white frosting with sprinkles. Sort of like grown up animal cookies.

The dinner last night was fun. I met some women and enjoyed talking with them. We sat at a table with the new president of my golf association and she was talking about changing the format of a lot of it to make it more welcoming and fun. Right now it is run like the guy's association. She was involved in a a golf association where she used to live where they did some of these things to encourage new women golfers to join and to make it enjoyable to play even when you are in early stages and not very good. Most of the 9-hole golfers are either at the beginning or end of their golf playing years.
I also got all the house cleaning done yesterday except for the floors which are DH's job to get done today.
I have golf this morning, then I am attending a meeting with the new association president in lieu of one of her other board members. Nothing planned for the rest of the day other than possibly a run to the store to get some stuff in advance of DSD's arrival tomorrow. Leftovers for dinner tonight.
Have a thriving Thursday!

My mind thought you were asking about a repair guy who is blind at first and had a moment wondering what they would be good at repairing...
I had blinds installed on my skylights. They had really tall ladders.

Good idea to not have to rush out for an appointment right away. I also skipped the big retirement get-together at work. I just went out to dinner with my immediate co-workers in my last week.

You are busy enough on your weekends now that I also bet you will make your schedule fairly full after retirement. But you can spread things out more which is one big plus!

Greetings all
A great spring day here. The house was cleaned today to the delight of the dogs who love the cleaner. So much for their artwork in the shower. I did some gallery banking and then went to the studio. Nice weather = sparse parking lot there. Our rainy season is pretty much over so time to let the lawn get brown. Did more glazing.
CC glad you have thwarted the trespassing bird. No fun to deal with bird poo. Especially with a melting hose!! Geez I had no idea that could happen. Hope the new furniture is as you hoped. Curious how the blind repair guy accesses that tall window. I have some skylights that need the shades replaced and i have no clue how anyone would get up there.
DD good for you for skipping the lunchroom retirement event. Nice that they offer but no thanks. My mother spent her first retirement day in pajamas playing video games. So good that you rescheduled the clinic apt.
Enjoy the wine social Liz. Best part of golf.
I burnt hamburgers last night so gotta come up with something else.
Peps do you get a retirement event? How soon is the cruise?

CC, we are at the opposite ends of the extreme weather spectrum. Here we have to worry about the impact of extreme cold on our houses, cars, outdoor stuff etc.
A wine social dinner sounds delightful.
Yesterday after working out, DH and I celebrated a 70 degree day by getting the cushions from the basement, and sitting on the porch. The trees haven't leaves out yet, so one end of the porch was sunny. I was so content in the sun, I almost purred. The downside is I was VERY reluctant to go to work today.
There is a retiree recognition event for the district. It used to be at a country club, and you could invite co workers from your department, and your family. Now it's just your family, and it's held in the lunchroom of my high school with a program in the auditorium. I wasn't too interested, but DH wanted to attend, so I was filling out the RSVP. Among the usual stuff, it said I needed to submit a picture, and had some questions to answer such as your favorite memory etc. and how to pronounce your name. I suspect its like graduation and you have to walk across the stage so they can give you your retirement gift, while showing your picture and info. I don't want to do that, or have to watch a bunch of people from other schools I don't know do it. Sorry DH, but no. Haha, this is the first thing about retirement that has given me anxiety. Well one other thing did: I looked at my calendar and I had an appointment with my WLS clinic at 9am the first Monday of retirement. Why did I schedule that? I rescheduled :) There will be appointments and obligations, but not the very first Monday of freedom.
Peps, when do you go on your cruise?

Busy enough day with laundry, dishes, workout and working on Etsy site.
Weather was rainy earlier but now sunny and 67 degrees! Have not made it outside yet but I know a little white dog that would love to go for a walk and a little black dog that will tolerate one if Mom goes!
Teriyaki salmon for dinner with carrots and snow pea pods. Maybe some microwave rice if DH wants it!
