130.3. Still not there!

Tax appointment went well. Getting money back for once!

Not much going on today. Did my interval treadmill workout again. DC1 here. DH wiling for a coworker tonight so he was home during the day today.

We are going out for wood grilled pizza tonight. Calories will be in proper range but sodium is always high with pizza so I'm not expecting a drop tomorrow either and wouldn't be surprised if there is a little uptick.

Liz, I'm glad DD is going ahead with the biopsy in the OR. Sorry that it like you will be out of the country then. Continued prayers that whatever they discover will be an easy fix!

My mom's friend was a 4th grade teacher and each year had her students write out the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner. Some of the misunderstandings of the words were wonderful. "Donzerly light" was a frequent occurrence.

119.2 - official weight for the week

I spoke with DD again last night. She does want to go the OR route but the scheduling might mean that I cannot go. She said I didn't have to but then asked if I would be available by phone in case something came up and her husband wasn't sure what to do. I will be in BVI from 3/13-3/24 and on a boat most of that time. I believe we will be on or near islands most days so hopefully I will be able to receive phone calls.

A friend called in panic yesterday looking for a recommendation because she had to fire the person painting the interior of the new home. They plan to move into it in a couple of weeks, and this was the last step of the interior renovations they have had done. Apparently when they went to the house on Monday it was obvious that the painter had been smoking pot in their home. They told her that was not accceptable and that they would have to let her go if it happened again. So yesterday when they stopped by the house was all stinky again! This painter must not be the brightest because they live just around the corner so stop by frequently. Our painter/handyman is completely trustworthy and has a bit of OCD about making sure his work is perfect so I was happy to recommend him.

Today looks like it will be another beautiful day. I have yoga after we walk Justice. DH has a cardiology appointment, then I will go to the practice range with my friend (we rescheduled from yesterday). Not sure about dinner/evening plans.

Have a friendly Friday!

Anything accomplished on a post-retirement day makes it a productive day LOL!

I guess kids definitely say the darndest things. There must be sites with similar quotes. We used to trade people's comments on insurance accident reports around. Messing up grammar sometimes led to very funny descriptions.

I look forward to what both you and Ann say everyday. In fact I look forward to all the musings from all the tribe. Sometimes we talk of deeply profound things, sometimes just the day's minutia. I love both, but I find the minutia to be like comfort food, satisfying and heartwarming.

I like to write down some of the best ones. One of my favorites, 14 years old, on the spectrum:

Me: George this project is due in a few days. Where are you at? I'm getting worried.

George: You should be. ( Died laughing after I walked away.)

Or another ASD student walks into the classroom. I'm wearing a sleeveless dress. The student with total sincerity: Oh Mrs. DD, you look so pretty. I've never seen your arms before. (Its true, I usually wear a cardigan with sleeveless dresses because I'm always cold)

Those kiddos crack me up. In the beginning of my career I would get flustered by questions like that. Now, I'd say something smart ass right back like, "No, what does it taste like?" or "Of course, tastes just like chicken!" or "EARWAX? You don't ask a gentleman about his earwax! It's like asking a lady her age!" Then move things right along.

P. S. The Duke Farms eagle camera is a good one and there are two newly hatched chicks plus a third egg. Enjoy.
