Update:

It has been a really pleasant day. I got things done but didn't stress about any of it. Tomorrow I will vacuum and run the floor cleaner after watering plants.
I will pound tenderloins tomorrow and bread some, then will freeze them on a cookie sheet before bagging and freezing for easy pull out and use.
I want to make some potato salad, only a very small amount because I am the only one to eat it. It might be easier to buy it from a deli for 1 person but I just like my own better.
I also want to make a small amount of taco meat for salad.

Jackie, I vote for a rhubarb custard pie!!!! Or rhubarb sauce on vanilla ice cream.
Off to bathe, put on jammies and relax.

Logics, it sounds like your sis has settled and and found her place. I'm glad you two had a great visit.

Well my one thirty meeting on Vacation Bible School for Seniors (three or four WEdnesdays in July and then one day a month year around) have slowly started. We ordered a couple books and we need to do our research but in general the theme is rules of life-how have they changed throuout are lives and what are they now. We will have three speakers and we are working on the rest.

The meeting lasted from one thirty to five and was enjoyable because we chatted about a few hundred things besides just the camp and then I ran to Albertsons and got a pub burger with mashed potatoes and veggies to heat for tomorrow and something else for the next day plus breakfast stuff.

I have finished the people of the book and it's one of my three five star books for the year. I think my next book is the new one by the author of Cutting for Stone but I will look.

I'd like to get at least a ten minute after dinner walk but I don't think it is going to be cool enough so I will do my best inside and then walk in the early morning.

Trying to decide if I want to give this expose on the Duggars and their people a chance on prime or it will be too upsetting for me.

It's only 9:45 am and already up to 79F with an 88F heat index. Whew! It's supposed to be 99F by 1 pm. They might as well just come out and say 100F. It's going to be warm. It will be another day when I am mostly inside except for going to lunch.

This afternoon, my former spouse, David, will give me a shout about setting up a time for me to take over my counter top ice machine to see if there is something wrong with the sensor that determines it is full of ice (it keeps saying it is when there is none and refuses to make more!) or if the computer component in it is kaput. He was an electrical technician guy with the provincial telephone company for some 35 years. He knows how to check this stuff and has equipment to do so. I am very thankful he can, and will, give a gal a hand.

I have to unload the dishwasher and will package up my Magic Cookie Bars to put in the refrigerator. Then I can wash the pan and maybe make something else in there for a sweet dessert type dealio and freeze. Once I get the counter top ice machine moved, I guess I can fix up that counter before the one with my stand mixer on it.
I've got my cup of joe waking me up, again. I got up at 5 am, listened to a bit of CBC Radio and then came out to my recliner for a bit more snoozing. I just love my new chair. I love the rocker part just as much as the recliner part.

I'll be wearing my Tilley Hat today. Gotta protect the noggin from the heat. Once, while working for the Geological Survey of CANADA, I didn't wear my hat while we were out in the field and got heat exhaustion. UGH! I haven't be that sick for that long in forever! I had to fly to a Board of Directors' meeting in Ottawa from Winnipeg. I first had to drive the 3 hours to the airport. I had a miserable headache and once I got on the plaine? EEKS! A headache and wooziness and nausea. I wouldn't wish heat exhaustion on ANYONE! I was miserable the entire weekend long board meeting and for 2 days after I got back to work. I learned my lesson!! BIG TIME!

I thawed 2 packages of individual servings of hamburger for supper tonight. I think I will make some kind of sloppy joes. I'll play it by ear though. I might change my mind depending on what is for lunch when I go downtown. I met a lovely lady, Sally, last Wednesday at lunch. Turns out she literally lives right across the street from me! I gave her a ride home and today, if she is there, I will try to set up days and times we can go downtown together for lunch. The Soup Kitchen is on 7th Street and We are on 26th street so in this heat it is a pretty nasty walk during the height of the heat index for the day. I'd like to help her out. She just moved here from Thompson, MB (WAY up north) the first of May. She doesn't have WiFi or a phone so it would have to be set-up and me making a commitment to get my hiney out of the house to pick her up on the set days. I am thinking M-W-F. I am getting kinda miffed at Jim just assuming he can get a ride home from me everyday. He isn't on "my route" and gas is a pretty expensive commodity that I really have to stretch this month. When he was together with his wife, I used to babysit their son. They promised me they would get some gift certificates from their church to pay me. Didn't happen. Then? He "bought" my LED monitor for his computer for $60 and I never saw that either. Maybe I shouldn't remember that stuff but I was taken advantage of then and don't feel like having it happen again, if ya know what I mean.

I might pick-up the book Ron gave me for Christmas again today. I also recorded Dateline on the weekend and probably will watch those today. I love murder mysteries.

Well, off to do something. Probably the dishwasher!

That's the skinny from around here!

what good is a chair if it doesn’t rock! Lol I have 2 lift chairs here that my late husband and daughter used and don’t use either one because they don’t rock! My recliner rocks.

I just applied for another job - director of a library in a neighboring town, 30 hours a week and decent pay. What appeals to me about it is the hours are flexible - day, evening, weekend - whenever you want to get it done. It does require some flexibility for events, etc. and I don't view that as a problem at all. I hope to at least get an interview.
Wishing you luck.

I HEAR you! The recliner my friend, Zoe, gave me didn't rock. I was kinda disappointed but beggars can't be choosers. The day it died, I got on Facebook Marketplace and found this rocker/recliner for $100. OMG! It looks new! Even my neighbor said so and he couldn't believe what I paid for it! I just love a rocking chair for reading and when I'm stressed out? Rocking is the best! A "friend" put her lift chair in my house while I was in the hospital for back surgery without my knowing. Helped by my poor neighbor. That THING was awful. hard as a rock and didn't have any good points and didn't rock. I got all ticked off and got them to get it out of my digs ASAP. It made me ticked off because they moved my good chair for this icky one! LOL

I'm glat to have a rocker/recliner compatriot!

MJ
Hope has a good imagination.
