How's Your Day? May 2018

I had a chance to use the new hose & reel. I’ve never used that type of setup before & wasn’t sure how well it would work. I’m pleased to say it worked quite well.
Later, I thought about getting a haircut. But then, I decided to splurge and get them all cut. What was left on the floor could carpet 3 or 4 bald guys.

 

The googly eyes were a nice touch tho.

 

Actually, the laser surgery corrected that.

 

Holy Hoppin' Hares o' Fire!

 

It’s a beautiful day to be outside. I just got back from some outdoor shooting. And (this is the best part) I came back with all of my arrows.

 

I think they’re in hiding, along with my waistline.

 

Is that rabbit real or stuffed?

 

No idea.

 

Went to get an oil change&lubrication for my car..they also rotated the tires. Just found an important letter I'd misplaced(Clutter is my middle name). Will go for 2-maybe 3-lengths around the complex driveway later.

 

Didn't do any lengths-it was too humid.

 

Yesterday, in anticipation of high winds, I moved my outdoor Bonsai, to a safer spot. This morning, I went out to put them back & got some good news. My 2 Dawn Redwoods, recently repotted, had been looking rather sickly. Now, I am seeing fresh growth and leaves that feel firm. That tells me that the roots are alive and absorbing water and nutrients.

 

Hey @Sara-s, why does an elevtor always lead to contradictory emotions?(answer below, but knowing your pun-skill, you already know):


Because it can be either UPLIFTING or BRING YOU DOWN

 

Let's see...

Got up at 0200 to take DD to the airport for an 0530 flight (Newark to Boston, Boston to Pittsburgh) to go visit friends. As we get to the airport, we get a text from Orbitz that the connector has been cancelled. JetBlue puts her on an earlier connector (tight connection). I drive home.

On the drive home, I get a call from DD... it's boarding time and the pilot has not gotten there yet so it's likely she'll miss the connection. Gate agent says the next Boston-to-Pittsburgh is not until 22:30 and wants to put her on that. Fortunately, she reminds them that the ticketing agent said that both of her flights are on the same equipment. Delays and all, she arrived safely but really can't understand how the pilot could be late to the airport.

I get home, grab a couple of hours nap, and get ready for work. Two block from the house, my car throws an error code and goes into "limp home" mode. I ended up taking DD's car to work and DW is waiting for AAA to come and tow it to the dealer.

And it's not even lunch time yet...

 

I'll be experiencing that feeling of getting up way early to begin my Colorado "adventure" next month. Early flight out, but I still want to shower, shave, and have breakfast before my airport cab picks me up, by which time it may STILL be dark outside.

 

Last night, I attended Shavuot services at my temple. It was a lovely and meaningful service. In Reform Judaism, on Shavuot, we also celebrate Confirmation of students who continue their education beyond a Bar/Bat Mitzvah. Typically, this is for older teens, but this year, we had an adult Confirmaton group, including the Rabbi’s wife, who is also my childhood friend. (Adult Bar/Bat Mitvahs and Confirmatons ore sometimes done by people who did not have the opportunity as kids.). The whole group did themselves proud.

 

I’m OK, but my husband hurt his back at work. It apppears to be a severe muscle pull, which is not the worst thing that could happen to his back. But it still hurts him quite a bit.
