Good morning!
Sounds good @KateNkognito I feel cleaning and organizing is also good for the mind! Hope your Tuesday is good and productive too! Or, lazy if you want because that is fine too. LOL
Sooo cool about the bird baths! They say it is very important for the animals to be able to drink water. Bet that is fun to watch!
Not too much going on here. Just have some nitpicky things to get done today around the office, otherwise quiet here. I find it amusing that when the boss takes vacation, more people suddenly need to work from home!!?? Funny how that works.
Hope you have a great day! See you soon. Hot here!

LOL @Meghan509! When the cat's away, the mice will play!
Just a chill day here. Except the weather. Definitely not chill.
Currently boiling some eggs for tuna salad. For some reason I love tuna salad when it is hot out.
Tomorrow we go school supply shoppy. My kids are old enough that we don't need much, but it is a fun tradition and we get to eat out.
Have a lovely rest of the week!0 -
Good morning!!
Another quiet(ish) day in the office! Today I had to drop BF off at the train station on the way in to work, so I got on the highway an exit earlier and honestly it was so much easier than dealing with all the traffic and the silly merge at what would have been the next exit. New route for me! Very exciting!
@KateNkognito I love eggs in tuna salad! Yummy! Enjoy. I like to make tuna salad sandwiches for my BF and I especially if it is towards the end of a week when we run out of turkey and other stuff. LOL And tuna it is! Never fails.
Good luck with the school shopping! I always liked doing the shopping for school but not school itself. LOL Back in my day I would ask my Mom for a Trapper Keeper and she'd be like "you didn't use the one we bought last year"! Whoops!
Hoping to have a quiet day here. Heat and humidity are on the rise! Currently 75 degrees F and sunny here. Last night we got a lot of rain and storms right before the commute home. Sigh... At least I got home safe!
Have a good day and see you soon.0 -
Good morning!
Thursday is here. Not a bad commute at all. Got in in less than 30 minutes and was pretty much moving in some form the whole time.
HOT here and supposed to get to 100 degrees F today and tomorrow!
Looking forward to just relaxing this weekend. Our get together with friends at our house is a no go until next month. Which honestly is better because nobody wants to be hanging out all afternoon on a patio if it is 100 degrees F and humid!
Hope you have a good day! See you soon.

Woo hoo! A new route for the win, @Meghan509! Glad you are having such a nice week at work after all the busy.
We went shopping yesterday and got everything except I didn't find any clothes that I liked. But it was a nice time. When I am retired and the kids are out of school, I will still go school supply shopping and donate to a local school. I love doing it.
Today my husband and I took a romantic trip to the bank and then out to eat. I have been feeling like I have a summer cold coming on and it has definitely shown up in full force today. At least I can go outside and enjoy the heat. The forecast for the next week just says HOT every day.
Enjoy your Friday!0 -
Good morning!
Thanks @KateNkognito it has been working well! Yes, nice and easy work week so far. No complaints! That sounds so nice about donating to kids in need.
Around here they have a back pack drive, but unfortunately we didn't have a heads up so we couldn't buy anything in time to contribute. Next year I will pay closer attention. In my last job (large corporation) we had an elementary school that we worked closely with that was a lot of lower income kiddos. One year we donated new back packs filled with supplies to the whole school! So fun. The kids went bananas!
Have you tried Land's End for clothing? They have a lot of sales this time of year and always have some kind of discount if you sign up for emails. I like their pants that are knit and the line is called "Star Fish". Also have petite lengths if you need.
Yes HOT here too and HUMID. My hair is not feeling it. LOL Supposed to be sunny all day here today but we may get some showers during the day tomorrow. No biggie. Hope it cools things off a little. Sunday should be sunny. Looking forward to doing some grilling!
Hope you have a nice day and a good weekend! See you soon.0 -
We had a lovely day. Went and did stuff with my husband and my youngest. Then hung out at home and made a fantastic salad for dinner.
Checked the forecast again and all it says for the next week is HOT. THIS IS NOT OK!
Have a lovely weekend! I will be frantically cleaning all the things I should have cleaned this summer (or not).0 -
Good morning!
Happy Monday. Last day of July!? Where did the month go?! Hope you had a great weekend @KateNkognito!
Yes, we finally got a break here from the heat and humidity (for now) and we are *gasp* only sitting at 73 degrees F at the moment with hardly any humidity! We were supposed to get showers on Saturday from noon on. Well, those showers didn't come until like 7:30pm or 8:00pm! Which meant nice day outside for us! Sunday was GORGEOUS! The rain shooed the humidity and heat away (for now) and we have had the air conditioning mostly off for the past day or so! Woo hoo!
Can't believe that July is rolling to a close! How time flies. Today I have my yearly appointment with the "female" doctor and this Friday is my Mammogram. On Friday afternoon I will get these silly stitches out of my leg (from the mole I had removed)! Figures that the hottest days of the summer has me thinking about swimming but I can't because of the stitches. Less than five more days!
This weekend we have been invited to our friend's house on Saturday for a BBQ. They were up in New Hampshire and bought fresh Italian sausages from a farm. So nice of them to want to share with us.
Hoping for a slower day here as August is almost upon us. Gets very quiet this time of year, with all our international colleagues taking their vacations.
That's about it here. Hope you have a great day and see you soon!0
