Some days it seems that time is slowly going by - and yet, when I think about where we are in the year - realizing that today is July 12 seems so unreal. And yet it is. And with July has come the heat. I am not complaining, mind you, but plenty of other people are.
Had a lot of things going on lately. Work has been overwhelmingly busy. So glad this is Friday, although I do need to bring my computer home. My bosses think I'm spoiled. I don't know where they get that. I use two computer monitors at work, so if I'm working at home, don't I still need two computer monitors? I think so. :-) I have the two computer monitors set up - but am still missing the connector - I forget what it's called. It's ordered and as soon as IT brings it to me, I'll take it home and get it set up so that I can use two monitors at home.
For my personal computer I also have two monitors - but I don't have the converter for that either so only use my big 24" screen. Anyone need another screen? I think it is missing one cord. I think it's a 22 inch or something like that - my boss had given it to me but it was missing a cord. I've been able to work from home a few Fridays which has been nice - I'm at the computer working all day - (more than when I'm at the office, really) - but still, I don't work from home that often.
Last Sunday I noticed my left rear tire was low...very low. Went to work late so that we could take it down to the tire place - 15 pounds of pressure.... slow leak. They filled it up with nitrogen and I went on to work. Went back Wednesday and they checked it again - have to get a new tire. Got the windshield wipers replaced caused they weren't doing their job. They ordered the tire so I went back last night to have them replace it. I really like how they take care of me. We had a warranty on the tire so all I had to pay for was the new warranty on the new tire. I think this is the third time we have replaced a tire the past couple years - and they are always under warranty so only have to pay for the new one. Works for me.
We are getting a sprinkler system put in the back yard. It is 95% dirt and I'm just sick of the way it looks. So - I discussed it with my son-in-law and he is putting in the new sprinkler system and then planting grass seed for us. Also realigned the sprinklers in front. I figure I had better start getting the house straightened up (yard-wise) if we ever sell it - well, it would be to our advantage. We are arguing over payment (he won't let me pay for it) but I'll figure out something to make up for it. I appreciate him taking the time to fix the yard for us. I can't depend on anyone else to do it..... enough said.
Our new "puppy" is now 4 months old. Hubby is getting worn out with her, I think. She won't have all her shots for another week so we cannot take her out walking for exercise. And is she ever a handful! She loves coming to jump up in my lap - which isn't bad unless I'm crocheting or knitting and then I have to push her off. Her nails have really grown and are sharp - got my arm the other day - so we already have a grooming appointment for her right after she gets her last shots. I'm just wishing we could get her totally housebroken.
Yeah - that is something I want to do this weekend - shampoo the dining room carpet. She hasn't been allowed much in the back rooms so nothing is on those - but that dining room carpet has had it's share. I don't remember Marley being this hard to train - but then, I was home when we had Marley as a puppy. Hubby doesn't have the patience to watch her.... I think he falls asleep more often than he acknowledges and when he wakes up... anyway....
Well, I have gotten two emails to create 4 meetings so guess I need to get busy. Hope you are having a great summer. I'm looking forward to August when I'm taking a week off. Getting some doctor appointments taken care of - hubby wants to do a day trip or two. We just can't agree on the day trip. Me - I'd go to Tucson. :-)
Blessings!
