Not much to report on, kind of a slow week. Highlight was meeting my parents and lil sis for breakfast yesterday, which is always a great way to start a morning. Tomorrow is Mother's Day, so I'll be visiting my parents. After I post this, I'll be working on wrapping up my gifts.

I did finish the final book in the Imposters series this morning so ( Read more... )

What a great Saturday! Got together with my sweet friend. We visited a mutual friend who is convalescing and undergoing PT to build up his strength, followed by dinner and celebrating with friends on the union victory.

Highlight though was pranking our friend. He had been teasing me that my friend needed to keep an eye on me to make sure I didn't ( Read more... )

... and 80s by the weekend. Welcome to spring in Northeast Ohio!

It's a wonder we aren't all coughing and sneezing, between the vacillating temperatures and the higher pollen counts. Once again, we play the Pollen or Plague game.

COVID-19 is still around, and some areas are seeing an increase in cases again. Also, recently, a judge struck down CDC' ( Read more... )

It's been a whirlwind weekend, one of my busiest in a while. Weird, three years ago this type of weekend schedule would have been fairly typical. With COVID-19 (HOPEFULLY) ramping down, hopefully it will be normal again. It's just so good to see people.

I took Friday off for my birthday. Started the day with breakfast with my parents and lil sis, ( Read more... )

You just never know.

My plans for tomorrow included going to see a friend of mine perform with his newish band. They usually perform in venues that were too remote but this one was nearby. Was so looking forward to it.

Unfortunately, it was around this time last Friday I first saw Mark's wife Lynn - also a good friend - post that he had had a ( Read more... )

... but we will be getting a brief reprieve.

Today's high was only in the teens. Overnight it got to around -4 F. Eek! Could hit a slightly more balmy zero tonight/overnight but tomorrow is supposed to be warmer. By Tuesday, we should be seeing temps that will hopefully melt off some of this white stuff. Especially since it looks like Wednesday ( Read more... )

Not necessarily for me, but it's Groundhog Day (both Chuck and Phil have called for early spring, and given the weather patterns I've seen, both rodents might actually be correct; also, trying to think the last time they both called for an early spring.) It's also Superbowl Sunday (Chiefs and 49ers); I really don't watch much football but this year ( Read more... )

So much for trying to update more regularly :P Brace yourself, it's going to be another very long post. Indeed, I may have to break this into two. By the way, not really sure why my reading list got copied like that. Weird.

My friend and co-worker passed away about  week after my last post. My co-worker and I were able to visit him one last time in ( Read more... )

Start the new position with the company tomorrow. We'll see how things go ( Read more... )

Other than my typical book review, I don't have much ( Read more... )
