What are you doing today?

My little potted garden is almost done. :LOL: It would be cheaper to buy food than everything we need for a nice garden. But I love looking out my window and seeing all my work.

Most of the plants are planted. I still need to plant the green and yellow beans for the three-bean salad I enjoy. I had to get new zucchini starts because our one warm day destroyed the zucchini I had planted. And I now have a row of flowers in long planters with the hope of attracting bees. Last time I tried to grow zucchini I got flowers and no zucchini because there were no bees to pollinate them.

:LOL: While our one warm day was hard on my garden, looking out the window today, I see bushes and trees dancing in the wind and a grey sky. It looks rather stormy and I don't think I want to carry my laundry to the laundry room that is about 1/2 a block away. I am hoping the stormy weather does not harm my garden.
 

S/O wanted to see the new Top Gun movie. I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise at all but I went (didn't mention my dislike of TC to my S/O). We went to a matinee.

Came home and did some gardening together out front for a few hours. Afterwards, we made dinner (crab cakes, asparagus and biscuits...so good).

Watching TV now - he's asleep next to me.
 
I'm so used to getting up at 4:30 that I got up on a day off at...430. Of course. I might have slept longer except for Maggiecat purring in my ear, wanting her breakfast.

Yesterday a co-worker called out because "something came up" again. Something came up last week, something came up the week before, too, the first day after her two-week vacation. Then another day that same week.

After speculating about her side business for the couple of months since she transferred from a store in Texas (we thought maybe catering), she blurted it out a couple of days ago (we don't think she meant to). She makes custom cupcakes. Crazy holiday weekend when people are planning cookouts and graduation parties, but something came up. Supervisor thinks that "something" was a last-minute order for cupcakes.

She called back a little later and said from now on she can only work Wednesdays, then asked our supervisor if he's going to fire her. After multiple phone calls on the bakery's phone and supervisor's phone, the store manager was being paged and because he was walking past the bakery, took the call on our phone. More guessing here, but apparently talking to HR asking if the co-worker has any accumulated time off and how much. Maybe calculating her final paycheck? Who knows?

Still...it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see her there again when I go back to work on Tuesday. Nobody gets fired in these times when all that's really required for a job is a pulse, and work schedules are mere suggestions to show up when it's convenient.

So work has been interesting and crazy busy because of the 3-day weekend. Yay me, off today and tomorrow.

Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. Pffft. Summer started here weeks ago! Gotta get dressed and haul my bony butt out to the garden before it's too hot to get anything done.

Yesterday was the 64th anniversary of graduation day for me. How's that possible? I mean, I'm really only 16, right?

Today is DD's 58th birthday. 58th? How's that possible? She's really only 16, too, right?

ETA: Oops! Forgot to mention that day before yesterday I was sitting on the teeny tiny patio admiring the flowers when a creature appeared on the far side of the garden. At first I thought it was a raccoon. Nope. It. Was. A. Wild. Hog. Right! I scurried back inside and watched from the kitchen while it meandered around the garden, moved way up to the back and settled down for a nap under the magnolia tree. When I went out a few hours later, it was gone. Eeeeeeek!
 
Just checking in....

I still feel weak and yucky. I haven't checked my temp yet today, but it feels better. I'm coughing so much (with little or no results) that my throat is raw & I hardly have a voice.

Dio 🐐 seems better, even after skating yesterday. He was up at 5:30 this morning, getting a load of laundry ready to wash! 😄

Good day to everyone!

yup she really is only 16... you got that right...(y) at least that's how old mine is in my head ...:ROFLMAO: Have a restful couple of days
 
This morning around 6:30 went outside to water some of plants/ flowers in our community garden,temp was 57,no wind, birds were chirping saw a baby 'thumper/thumperina' chewing grass
The big test this morning for my knee, walking to/from my church which is 6 blocks away.No pain just a tinge of stiffness,but iced it when I got home. It still took me usual time to get there 20 min. We only had 1 service because of the annual Buffalo Marathon Race. Some of our members live in the suburbs trying to get to church thru the detours can't be frustrating,we usually have a sparse crowd,we did
The rest of my day talked with my brother,he&his family are at their place in New Hampshire,will be there until Thurs,read local paper,starting a new book
 
Today I've gathered 10 blouses/tops, to take to the tailor this week to have them taken up a few inches..

Then I cleared out 3/4's of the bed linen stored under my bed ( Ottoman bed)... matching patchwork bedspreads and pillows.. to take to the Charity shop.. along with some clothing and curtains.. 2 big bags full..

Remembered to print off a return label for a dress which I'm returning to the store rather than sending it back by post

Changed the beds today.. my back was killing me so I had to sit down with a hot pad on my back afterwards..

Vacuumed and dusted all upstairs tonight .....then cooked some lobster filled pasta in chicken noodle soup for dinner... then had my pampering shower.. and potions and lotions night...and now I'm all beautified, and my bags are all sitting in the foyer ready to be taken to their respective places.. the forecast tells me it will rain tomorrow... :eek:

Sometimes it takes me all day to get nothing done
 
Went up to the foothills for a cheese workshop today w/a lady friend of mine.
I was under the impression that we would be participating in making the cheese, but no.

It was from 1-4pm and the girl, Shelby, made chevre, mozz and ricotta.
Oh, I should mention that it's a goat farm, so all the cheeses were made w/goat milk.

And, we got to meet the goats. They were so cute.
 
I put a beef chuck roast in the IP for supper early this morning. Now I just keep it on the keep warm option for a few hours. Works like a slow cooker.

I wanted to test drive my mobility chair since Sonny fixed the tire for me yesterday. It is supposed to be in the 90's so not going to be out there very long.

There is a Memorial Day parade today so maybe I will check it out. Depends on what time it.
