Sparky's day sounds a whole lot better than Jesse's. I hope the foot massage does wonders.

Yay for the end being clearly in sight, Sparky1! Enjoy!

My day is pretty good, all things considered.

It's no Wegman's at 6am, but still. (hee)

My first time hosting a phone bank. It is to start in 30 minutes. I have coffee made, breakfast casserole made, cinnamon rolls waiting for frosting, some snack bars, fruit, water and tea.

I have wifi password printed out and on various tables. Sign in sheet out. Beto sign in the front yard. Instruction guide, sample script, and chargers for phones.

Only 3 people are scheduled to come, so I hope they all come and maybe one will bring a friend.

Am nervous. Do not like people I do not know.

I'm very impressed with your doing all this stuff, msbelle!

Good luck msbelle!

Sparky that sounds great! I hope all the final bits and pieces get cleared up soon. And up too early is a way better jet lag than up too late!

My dance weekend is sadly over, but now to the "hanging out with friends" portion. Not excited about the "back to work" part tomorrow but I already have enough emails in my inbox that I don't want to ignore any longer while that number keeps growing!

I hope the phone bank goes well, msbelle!

I have emails in my inbox from the Interim Dean that I am sort of ignoring. I know from the subject lines she is 1) asking me to serve on a committee, and 2) confused as to why/how to approve some expenses on my credit card. Tomorrow is soon enough.

It's supposed to be 90 degrees by this afternoon, so I got off my butt and pulled 2+ weeks of accumulated weeds out of the front yard garden. One of my New Jersey tea plants is doing beautifully and has lovely flowers all over it, another is doing fine but no flowers, and the third is totally dead. Ditto my two lavendar plants - one is thriving and budding and smells heavenly, and the other one planted 4 inches away is a dried out scrawny stump. WTH, front yard soil.

(Also pulled out a shit-ton of horse nettle and am breaking out in little red welts from the spines. Fucking weeds.)

It is supposed to be warm here today so I got out early and poop scooped. Also walked next door and said I would take the elliptical machine in the front yard.

Poor DH. His homecoming has been fraught. He has made progress on the forest green pool and 4' tall weeds in the backyard, but Tropical Storm Gordon will stop progress on that today. Freak accident Saturday has left him with no water for 2 days. He was pulling the boat out from the side of the house to be able to weed eat the area. His truck ran over a coconut that happened to be lying on top of the water meter cover, which cracked, and then broke the pipe below. Fortunately on our side so he didn't take out the whole block. So he is out in the deluging rain trying to fix the pipe. He got a new fitting on last night but wanted to do the pipe repair in daylight.

Timelies all!

I'm so glad nursery school starts up again tomorrow. This weekend has been rough.

I definitely should have done some yard work earlier in the day/weekend, but now it's hot in the sun and I'm in the hammock in the shade.
