Yeah, Yeah, I'm late typing in here this morning. But, I think I will start typing in my work computer as 1) it doesn't interfere with my quiet time (where I keep an eye on the clock and at a certain time I need to 'stop' and write in here), 2) It's much easier to type in here and keep an eye on things. So that's my excuse and in spite of the fact I kept falling asleep this morning (and losing time!) I am at least writing!
Our quail nest has grown to 4 eggs now. I've ordered a camera (I hope the right one!) to install to where we can watch when the eggs hatch! The camera will be here on Friday. I keep watching for the mama, but have only caught her on the nest one time. Yesterday I checked and there was only 3 eggs, but after I went to the gym, I checked again - and there were 4! I'm on 'Quail Watch'! LOL
I got excused from jury duty. After all my stress and worry about it over the weekend, I went online yesterday and did the questionnaire - and at the end if asked if I wanted to be excused and there was a drop down for the 'excuses'. One of them was 75 and older. First time I've ever been excited to be over 75! I clicked that button and immediately got a 'you are excused and do not need to appear' message. So happy it was that easy - and now I don't have to worry about it anymore. I was also able to make that notice 'permanent'. I don't think my age is going to go backwards.
Hubby is going to be busy today - 9am gym; 10am eye doctor; 2pm echo. Then tonight he has the bible study at church at 7pm. I get time for me! Whoo hoo! LOL It's the little moments that count, right?
Ironically, yesterday I was thinking more and more about retirement. The whole ordeal with the timecard on the guy who took maternity leave - I never got a response from anyone until about 2:30pm which was past the deadline for the timecards and I couldn't change anything. Plus they didn't give me any instructions on how to fix it. He's getting a regular paycheck as if he worked. Although I didn't approve his timecard either. UGH. It started during that time as I was so frustrated that I couldn't get the information I needed - and I found out that all the emails had been going to Brett - and he hadn't bothered to forward them. Sigh. Communication with me is not one of his skills. Oh once in awhile he will call me and update me on his accomplishments and dreams - but update me on what I need to be doing? not his specialty, and it annoys me. So yeah, I am thinking retirement again. Still looking at November 20th. And then, I'm thinking that in January I will start looking for a part-time or even full-time job here in my area to where I could even go in to the office part time and work and be with other people - but take off if I need to (think hubby's appointments, days off, etc.). As long as we have enough money to live off of comfortably, we don't need to have a huge income. Right? But then I think about the 'cush' job that I currently have where I work at home, can usually take off for hubby's appointments, can take time off.... is it just the work I don't care for? Doesn't mean it will be any different any other place, does it. Sigh. Oh what to do!
I need to dig out my hummingbird feeders. I had mentioned to my brother that I didn't have any flowers to draw them this year - so he ordered me a pot (smart aleck had to say 'without eggs') and some flower seeds. It's the little things he does for me that I love so much! He always surprises me with things - not always - but occasionally. It's fun to get a surprise gift from him.
Which reminds me. He told me it was 75 in Indiana on Sunday. Yesterday he sent me a video - it was minus 3 wind chill and snowing - sent me a video of the snow coming down and staying on the ground! Good ole' Indiana weather. If you don't like it, just wait a little bit; it will change!
And - I'm drawing a blank as to what to write this morning - need to get re-focused on work stuff. Still have one set of board minutes to create. Oh joy. At least no more meetings until the end of April. So - with that - I'm off here!
Be kind to someone today - you don't know what trials they are going through!
Blessings!
