Feeling like *kitten*
I haven't tracked for a week;
Working too many hours;
Need to take a morale day to just decompress....
Supposed to hit mid/upper 70's on Sunday. I'm thinking a test of the convertible top is in my future!
Hope all are surviving well.....

Mornin' BBB.
Dad is improving. He is out of ICU. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.
We are now struggling with communicating with his medical staff. Oy.
Congrats on the sale, Mary.
Sorry to hear that things are miserable, Kelly.
Definitely looking forward to my day off. Hope you get to decompress some today, Skip.

Good morning, folks.
Yesterday was my first full day of sheltering in place, so if course, the AC started leaking again. Different spot though... Going to be 90-ish again today.
The guy told me were going to need a new system that'll run $5,500 because it's custom manufactured to fit the small space in the ceiling.
I got in a nice walk yesterday after I logged off. It's so surreal with everything on lock down. But, somehow, Goodwill is still open even though they don't sell groceries or have a pharmacy. I smell shenanigans on that one.

Good morning BBB crew.
Not a very social person, so lack of contact isn't hard on me. Rita has a tougher time. She's the sort who strikes up convcersations with strangers everywhere she goes.
It is pretty much shutdown, here in Washington, all the parks, and forests, too, so no hiking. The governor's order has the authority of law, too. Violations can be classed as a Class 1 misdemeanor - though police say charging someone will be a last option.
But, hey, Showtime has authorised free streaming of Homeland, so we can veg out catching up on the last three seasons. Every dark cloud ...0 -
Good morning BBB Friends.
- Survived another day of house arrest. Actually a group of neighbors had an informal block party last night in the middle of the street. Everyone brought lawn chairs out and placed then 10' a part and commiserated.
- It was good to see Lisa in action yesterday. She had the pleasure of seeing me too. I finally figured out the technology. I need to use the same technology for another meeting tonight.
- Glad to hear things are improving in JAX Lee.
- Miss Raine, you out there? I hope things are well in So FL.
- Stay safe gang. Things are bound to get better, or worse, soon.

Morning BBB.
Highlight of the day...the only red cow in the herd just outside of dads house had her calf yesterday. They plan to move them to an new pasture soon. We will still be able to see them but it is a bit further away.
Going to make some cards today. I have away most of my craft supplies so I will have to be creative. And continue the glean out flower beds. I just have one left plus the single plants near the mailbox and flagpole. Hopefully today is the last day....not my favorite chore.0 -
Good Morning,
DW informed me this morning that HOA has shutdown our gym over clubhouse, in 3.5 yrs never seen more than 4 at time in there and very easy to stay more than 10' apart. Bet it was some do-gooder who has never set foot in gym.
Saw Raine last night on her Zoom, tried to get into Lisa's 5:30 meeting but don't know if blocked or just don't know how. Saturday did virtual WW without issues, though they have told us not to log into others meetings because we disrupt; I may make funny faces but could keep mouth shut.
On agenda today is to try and move tree out of bedroom to front porch, think me and DW can do it. It's a ming tree thats over 8' and gotten too heavy for me to pick up.
Good news from Jacksonville!!!
I've found a wood project I'll like to do, issue is I'll have go to Atlanta to find wood; not going there now.
Yesterday sat in driveway talking to folks as they walked by, may do same for a while today.
Folks are criticizing governor saying he has not done enough, reckon telling folks to stay home, not go out and shutting down many businesses is not enough. If those complaining were to follow what is imposed they would not know what others are doing and they would be safe.0 -
WITW is Raine?
I think she and HJ are enjoying the pool and have shut the world out

Sam, did you tap the link on our Holland Connect group? It should have worked, if you did ...
Skip, was hoping to see you again today.
Dennis, it was AWESOME getting to see and talk to you a bit yesterday! You made my day!0 -
I just realized today was supposed to be the Braves opening day. Now I'm sad.

Well, I'm done for the week ... my first full week of Virtual Workshops. It went well, I think! We'll get it all figured out. And it will be interesting to see what happens once this is over. I think a lot of people really like these ... we might need to keep at least some of them.
Now I'm going to work on painting again. And the garage, which I've gotten about 2/3 done. And then Bible study Zoom. Lots of good stuff! I'm certainly not bored.
That's great that your dad is looking up, Lee! Yay!
That's some expensive cooling, Lou. I'll bet it's pretty important down there, too.
Enjoy your Showtime, David.
Your block party sounds GREAT, Dennis! Very fun! And I love your quote.
How inspiring to see that new life, Steph! And to be working with the flowers ... so much hope and beauty!
Sam, my TM hasn't said a word about us not visiting other groups. And the message to members is that it's okay to visit as many as you'd like. Since I'm a member, I'm visiting. I was in NC this morning, then OH, then my own. Who knows where I'll go tomorrow?

Good evening from sunny, cloudy, then rainy Indiana. Still in misery but this too shall pass.
So, talk about BLESSED: several people I work for are eldery and want me to get their groceries in lieu of cleaning. Full pay. Others still have me clean while many have said,” don’t clean and we’re paying you!” I am so overwhelmed by their kindness.
Then, I had to order a new dishwasher. Ha ha.
Steph, growing up in the farm I saw many animals being birthed. So awesome.
Lee, great news on your dad!!
Sam, they did the same thing in the neighborhood gated community that I work in all the time. Same thing. No one hardly ever uses the gym. Then, the HOA president told everyone to open their garage doors from 4-6 and either sit out or go for a walk to see your neighbors.
Lisa, glad your first week went well.
Dennis, that’s a good idea for our cul de sac. I think we would all enjoy wine and conversations. I think it might be warm enough this weekend.
Dave, DH needs a shirt that says,” social distancing is what I’ve always practiced!”
Lou, that’s a lot of money for an apartment air conditioner. Is it so pricey because it’s in the ceiling? You gotta have it.
I have a huge list. I’ll be working like a dog all day tomorrow. I need to decompress too.
Take care.0 -
Hello All
Rainy chilly here, But warmer dry air coming next week. More rain first.
Brewers opener would have been today.
Got the fountain installed and on in our HOA pond today. Lots of walkers out, with the safer at home orders, so this will be a welcome sight and sign of spring in the hood.
Trying to adjust to these home office hours, etc. Its working so far.
Good of your customers Kelly....
Be safe BBB .
