    Good morning.
    Just took an herbal soak. Interesting it looked like a giant tea bag.
    Might be on babysitting duty later today, will see how things progress.
    It's currently 62F, partly cloudy. High 78F. Winds light and variable.
    Have a good weekend, everyone.

    Good morning.
    Our granddaughter arrived last night, Lillianna, 8:42 pm, 7lbs, 4oz. Mama and baby are both doing well, as are Dad and big brother. Can't wait to meet her. <3
    Have a great day, everyone.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday! We got the trees staked up yesterday. I will need to go and check how well that is holding up, but I think it will be fine, at least for now.

    I have some house cleaning to do today, as we are expecting guests tomorrow.

    Good morning;
    Vix-congratulations on your new granddaughter. <3
    Ed-I hope you are able to save your trees.
    Irene-glad you are ok after the storm.
    My stairs are all done. I will post a finished picture later.
    I am on vacation this week. I had planned to do early fall cleaning, but am having pain in my right shoulder and arm. I can't lift my arm above my head. I am going to call the Chiro tomorrow and see if I can get an appt. this week. If that doesn't help I will be calling my primary.
    Have a great week. :)

    Good morning.
    Thanks, Jo. Glad your stairs are done, they were looking really good. I hope your shoulder and arm are ok. I'm glad you're on vacation. Maybe your body is telling you to relax and take it easy. Hugs.
    I hope your trees are ok, Ed.
    Glad you weren't in the way of the storm, Irene.
    Hi to Jan and Val. 👋
    We've been having fun with our grandson. Daughter, son-in-law, and baby coming home today. :smiley:
    It's currently 66, sun and clouds mixed today. High 82F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.

    Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday! It's currently 23 (73 F) cloudy degrees out there with an expected high of 28 (82 F) under partly sunny skies, and a 45% chance of rain that could include some thunder and lightning.

    I have some dishes going in the dishwasher and still have a little bathroom cleaning and some vacuuming to do before (or even after) guests arrive this afternoon. They will be leaving early Wednesday morning, headed back to Pittsburgh, PA. We there is a neighborhood in Atlanta called Pittsburgh and it would be great if they lived that close, and it's a nice area from what I can tell. Probably a bit on the expensive side though.

    As it's Labor Day, no work today, and I took tomorrow off as well, to entertain the company. J is really needed at a thing this afternoon, so I get to entertain them for the afternoon and early evening by myself. We will probably have lunch somewhere for part of that time.

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday! It's 22 (72 F) foggy degrees out there with an expected high of 28 (82 F) and 47% chance of rain under mostly cloudy skies. We have already had a couple of brief showers. Rain today could include some thunder and lightning.

    Nothing critical on the agenda today, just visiting with the guests. Maybe a little bit of laundry.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful wet Wednesday! It's 20 (68 F) mostly cloudy degrees out there now with an expected high of 29 (84 F) under mostly cloudy skies and a 58% chance of rain.

    I need to get our friends to the MARTA station this morning so they can head back to Pittsburgh. And I have some laundry to fold and put away.

    Good morning.
    Thanks, Irene. Couldn't be happier! :heart:
    Ha. My arm is still sore from flu shot on Monday. Dr. told me I should get it early this year. Done.
    It's currently 66F, sun and clouds mixed. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. High 86F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. T-storms expected this evening.
    Our housecleaner is coming this morning. And we'll probably go spend some time with the family today. :)
    Have a good day, everyone.

    Irene, the flu's supposed to be worse this year, and it may come earlier. Also, it's important to be vaccinated if you're going to be around babies or young children. (We also got a Tdap booster before my grandson was born 2 years ago.)

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday! It's currently 22 degrees out there under cloudy skies with an expected high of 27 under mostly sunny skies and only a 4% chance of rain.

    I have some more laundry going in the dryer (guest room sheets and guest towels) that will need to be folded and put away later. Right now I need to finish my tea and get ready to work. Nice to be able to work in gym shorts and a tee. If they need a video conference, I can put on a nice shirt for it. LOL.

    Good morning.
    Irene, we usually got it early October or mid-late September. I guess we'll be ready if it comes early this year.
    Ed, I'm doing laundry today too.
    My house is clean, and I got to hold the baby yesterday! Such a sweet little girl. 🥰Our grandson is doing great with her. I think he likes being the big brother.
    We had some crazy lightning last night, the kind that lights up the whole sky.
    It's currently 64F, rain showers this morning with overcast skies during the afternoon hours. High 72F. Winds light and variable.
    Have a good day, everyone.

    Howdy all y'all. It's fantastic Friday! We currently have an astonishing 13 (55 F) degree early morning under clear skies. We're expecting a high of 28 (82 F) with skies remaining clear. Maybe the nights are starting to cool down. Fall is approaching but we are used to Summer hanging around a bit here in Georgia.

    Today I have only my job to do on the critical agenda, though I do have a grocery delivery scheduled for this morning. I think putting the groceries away might be a good idea. And I am supposedly receiving a new 24 inch monitor at some time today, but I don't have to get that set up today. Of course I will get it set up today if I have the time.

    There is a very unhappy person somewhere in the area.

    I had a grocery delivery this morning, and the driver left a bag of someone else's groceries. This bag included some rather expensive items. As the items were all shelf stable, I texted the driver that I had left the bag out on the table, if she wanted to come back and get it.

    I also reported that to Instacart, but don't actually expect any resolution.

    I looked out several times over the next hour plus, and after an hour and 10 minutes I decided it wasn't going to be picked up so I brought it in.

    I have no need for these items, and will be checking on where I can donate the majority of them.

    She had also made a substitution in my groceries that I did not authorize, but that was fairly inconsequential. I had specified no substitutions for that item. The item she picked was a slightly larger package of a somewhat similar item, at the exact same price as what I had ordered. It is something that I can eat, so I reported it but as a comment, not asking for any refund.

    Good morning.
    Our new glass shower door is being installed this morning.
    It's currently 65, abundant sunshine. High near 75F. Winds NNW at 10 to 15 mph. It's been cooling into the 50s and 60s here overnight too, Ed. I like it, easier to sleep.
    Happy Friday, everyone.

    Good morning;
    Vix-thanks for the anniversary wishes. Enjoy your new granddaughter.
    I have been going to the chiropractor this week. My shoulder was so bad that I couldn't even brush my hair. After 2 visits it is feeling a lot better. He also gave me exercises to do.
    I have another appt. on Monday and he will evaluate if I am able to lift at work. If not my vacation my be extended.
    Ed-I believe that once an item leaves the store, it is not resalable. When we have items returned we have to put stickers on them that say not for sale, even if the item hasn't been opened.

    Howdy all y'all. It's, satisfyingly, Saturday!

    It's currently 16 (51 F) partly cloudy degrees out there with an expected high of 29 (84 F), also under partly cloudy skies, and a 2% chance of rain.

    I have nothing on the critical agenda today. I am still deciding, and working on, the layout of computers on my desk, to make it the easiest to be able to use the work computer and my home computer without too much switching around of keyboards. I am also still "personalizing" the work computer to make it function the way I like.

    I don't know whether Kroger puts things back out for sale or not, but I wasn't even thinking about the items going back to the store anyway. I had the thought that, perhaps, she might come back to deliver them to whoever had ordered them. But they may have a similar policy, that once it has left the driver's sight, they can't pick it back up, as they can't be 100% sure that it hasn't been tampered with.

    I decided to keep most of it as I will eventually use most of it, but I will try to find a new home for the children's vitamins. That jar of honey, along with the smaller container I already have going, will likely last me for a year or two.

    Good morning.
    I hope you had a fun anniversary, Jo. Sorry about your shoulder. Good that you're seeing a chiropractor. And enjoy your time off!
    Ed, I didn't have a good experience ordering home delivery of groceries, hopefully we'll be able to continue to go out and shop.
    We're going to toddler soccer this morning, then spending time with family. Totally makes my day. :smiley:<3
    It's currently 59F, sunshine and clouds mixed. High 79F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph. What a nice day!
    Happy Saturday, everyone.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!

    It's currently 18 (64 F) sunny degrees, with an expected sunny high of 30 (86 F) and 2% chance of precipitation. There is nothing on the critical agenda today, but I may pop out to Ingle's for a couple of grocery items.

    Howdy all y'all. It's magnificent Monday! It's currently 17 (63 F) clear degrees out there. We are expecting a high of 31 (878 F) under partly sunny skies with a 3% chance of rain.

    Sounds like a lovely day but I have to work so won't be outside much. I will be sure to at least step outside during breaks and lunch.

    Nothing critical on the home front today.

    Good morning.
    Nothing planned for today here either. There's a zoom webinar I can watch at noon, if I want. I'll do some exercise, get outside for a while, some reading, maybe work on a project or do some organizing/straightening up.
    It's currently 69F, mostly sunny and hot today. High 87F. Winds W at 5 to 10 mph.
    Another new week. Wishing everyone a good one. :)
