Bananas – I thought it was the J&J vaccine that had the issues with the blood clots. BREATHE
Michele NC
Both J&Js and AstraZeneca have clotting issues.
Because of my genetic predisposition toward clotting, I was concerned. Our government just had the AstraZeneca vaccine. However, because of the clotting issues with AstraZeneca, they got Pfizer for people under 50 very recently. I am over 50, but now that Pfizer is available, I'll ask for it.
Our vaccines may start late in May.

Barbie-I am not happy about the 5 lbs. for you-but the Cheetos and Red Wine made me smile. Sounds like that could do it. I don’t drink, but I have been known to eat Cheetos to excess.
Julie-Going last week in June, first week in July. Resort we will stay at for two nights is north of Scottsdale. Will spend most of my time there just being with family. We will make a few shopping trips. I get grandkids clothes for school. Go to park. Maybe a hike in mountains. We usually just play it by ear. Just hang out be grandma! Here is the resort link:

In terms of your aggressive colleague-the only thing you can control is your reaction, not their behavior.
Debbie-awful news about Covid in your church. Don’t blame you for returning home. Good of your pastor to be honest with people.
Rebecca-great story about your sisters!
Kylia-glad you only got a warning! Sometimes the officers are not so friendly.
Heather-glad you had good visit. No figuring out what kids will eat when.
Got grant reviews finished before on-line church. The ironing that mystifies some of you is done. Started sorting through clothes with summer work stuff. Have many more than I need or wear. This will take several sessions. I set aside for Goodwill things that I just don’t like the fit on me anymore. Plan on doing same with every closet and every drawer.
Went for walk at local reservoir with friend for about an hour. Was so nice to be outside with the sun shining. Lunch packed for work tomorrow. Off to pack up workout clothes and surface to take into work with me-then off to watch some tv.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio

Did Crunch Yoga Body Sculpt DVD then went for a walk around the block. Didn’t do the recumbent bike since I’ll save that for days when it’s raining out and I can’t go for a walk. Work tomorrow so no formal exercise but when I get home I do plan to walk at least around the block.
Tracey – sounds like you had a heavenly day
kylia – I admit that I’m probably one of the people you don’t like. I told them at Food Lion that I only wanted to work 4-4and a half-5 hours. I did tell them that I’m open to just about anything. At this point in my life, I feel that I have a good work ethic. I would be the one outside offering carts to people, talking to them, making sure there were carts in the store, going out into the parking lot to get them. Then after I’d get off work, the next person usually just stood there. No getting the carts, no making sure they were in the store, nothing. But I really don’t want to work more than 5 hours. I did tell them that 2 – 3 days/week worked for me. I’m not pickey about the days. I’ll adjust my exercise. But I don’t want to work more than 3 or possibly 4 days/week (prefer 3). It’s so sad to see so many places looking for work. At the soup kitchen they were talking about some restaurants that are closing one day/week because they can’t find help.
Lisa – we leave our spa open all year. Of course, it isn’t vinyl. Do you have to close yours? We only close ours for the winter. Is your cover a solar cover?
Barbara – we were planning to put the pool at the bottom of the stairs from the house in the back. But we weren’t able to since we are on a septic and that is the repair area. So we wound up having to put it behind the detached garage. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise because the pool is in the sunshine from about 9am to 7pm. If it was where we were going to put it, it would be in the shade much sooner.

Working on a jigsaw puzzle for down at the condo. I find that if I work for an hour, that’s about it, then I need to take a break, and go back to it in a bit. I’ll probably go back to it for an hour or so in a few
Took two walks around the block
Rebecca – I can just see you running around the house!
Worked on the puzzle for a few hours and will probably work tonight on it some more. It’s coming along.

Here is a picture of my new coat that will arrive on Tuesday0 -

So much moving furniture and vacuuming all weekend!!
We had locks installed on our windows this morning to comply with insurance and to make the place more secure, but in order to do that, we had to move furniture away from the windows ... and of course, if I'm going to move furniture, I'm going to vacuum underneath.
Why would we have furniture against the windows? Our house is almost all windows. We've got huge windows that are almost floor to ceiling and almost full wall width in just about every room. In order to fit our furniture in, some of it has had to go against the windows. So there was a half-height bookshelf that covered about half the window in the office, a couple low dressers in the dressing room, and so on.
Not only do we have locks on all the windows now, we've also got fresher air ... less dust!
In other news, I am going from full-time (5 days/week) to a 9 day fortnight. 5 days one week, 4 days with Friday off the next. I've been waiting for various ducks to line up so I could do that and they finally have.
What working a 9 day fortnight might give me is:
- less time commuting - one less day on the bus each fortnight.
- more time with with my husband. His severe traumatic brain injury has plateaued and specialists have predicted that he will likely start deteriorating in the next few years.
- more time to exercise
- more time if I need to do work with regard to my husband's legal situation
- more time to accomplish things on my list
- more time to rest.
Yes, I can see that extra day filling up quite quickly, but rest and exercise are two priorities. And exercise includes my husband ... we can cycle or walk or whatever together. Exercise is something we've always done together - it's how we met!

Rebecca, I love the flower dolls. A friend and I used to make them when we were in grade school. It is a delight to see the ones you posted.🌺0

I just had a nasty surprise. My computer was changed without my permission. Right now, it seems to be okay. Has anyone else had this happen? It seems to have been from Microsoft. I guess I’ll have to play with it for a while. I do not like surprises.
Advice welcome.

Last year I had trouble with microsoft. They wanted me to pay them another fee for their software on my computer. I don't use accounting programs but I do use Microsoft Word. It appears that I have had another visit from them. I shut down and reopened my computer and it seems to be working now. My second problem has to do with checking out electronic books through our library and amazon. I check out many books online via Library to Go. I may need to renew my library card. I will contact our library in the morning to see whether I need to update it.2

The estimate lady has been round to look at our hall and toilet. They have a gap tomorrow for the 10% April discount. She will send the estimate by email and we just have to pay the deposit and we are on for tomorrow.
We will have to take sandwiches and water upstairs for the duration (a bit less than a day) because we will need a toilet. Won't be able to get out of the house, but that's fine. Last time they were amazing and created absolutely no dust! Bit noisy, but that's fine.
It will be great to have it done!

Allie - Hopefully, they will be a lovely, pale sheen next time I post a photo!
The painter can't come until July, because he is booked up, but we are making progress.
I've also ordered two, new coir mats for the inside and outside. The outside one is a disgrace. It was there when we moved in. The inside one we bought, but it's grubby now and will look dirty on our lovely new floors. The outside one is large and has a tree on it and the inside one has a star.
Excited now! I've paid the deposit.

Michèle, like Machkas said, J & J and Astra Zeneca are similar. I believe Astra Zeneca is not authorized in the USA.0 -
Ginny, it looks awesome.

here is where we stayed a decade or so ago. we were upgraded to a little villa, since Arizona resorts are pretty empty in steaming august.
I remember the bed being really comfortable and the little area being handy, hanging out at the pool a bit in the shade, and getting some amazing guacamole.1 -

Machka, awesome for the 9 day fortnight!
It's a bit like that in France for many (not me as i'm a teacher). They have had 35 hour weeks for well over a decade, 7h a day, but in fact many people work 8h days and accumulate a half day every week, and save them up , more often to have long weekends, extra long vacations, or more vacations and so on. It seems to work well.1 -
