Good morning, everyone. I made it through Mother's Day relatively unscathed.
I had a great time catching up with my younger daughter at dinner. She's being promoted to charge nurse on her unit. She texted afterward, saying "I'd gotten you a card, but then at the bottom it said 'Happy Birthday'!" I told her I'd be happy to get any sort of card from her, at any time.
I'm still anxiously looking for new work. In the meantime I still am getting assignments. (To clarify, as an independent contractor I try to stay connected to about 4–5 publishing services at a time. In the past 18 months I've lost two with no warning and have to replace them ASAP. I procrastinated with replacing the first one. That was unwise.) Today's assignments look difficult. When the author has trouble mastering English, and their field of expertise is complicated (e.g., engineering), that's a tough mix.
Our weather is beautifully warm and sunny, but the winds are supposed to be quite high (30+ mph [48+ kmh]) all the way through the weekend. It gets a little irritating trying to do anything outdoors. But at least we don't have any snow!
I hope everyone's week is getting off to a good start.

Yesterday I went forth and rode, and brought back pics, but they won't load!!!
Frustrating.
The ride to Stanley Lake was about ~150 miles round trip and the first ride of the year that didn't require my grip and seat heater. 60 or so antelope in several groups were spotted, 2 mule deer both feeding in the borrow pit next to the road in the twisties(thanks to the motorist that flashed headlamps as a warning), one immature bald eagle, and an osprey.
The Forest Service was out doing some small controlled burns, but the wind picked up out of Rx so they stopped.
Northbound traffic was heavier so the "slack" btwn tourist seasons is not quite as slack as it's been. Lots of people already escaping the oncoming heat w temps at 90°F in the nearby population centers. It's going to be a long hot, smoky summer!!
Today work out, and the business of life!

Happy 12th of May, fellow SFers!
Yesterday I said I didn't know if today would be busy (business-wise)... well my tracking update from UPS tells me to expect 28 cartons this afternoon and 28 more between Thurs and Fri. And, as Karen Carpenter sang so beautifully, we've only just begun.
Despite having the above labor intensive work in front of me, I'm determined to stay with the 5 day a week workout program I decided to commit to, so I'll be heading to the kitchen and my laptop to get going on that. Yesterday I tried using the weighted vest I bought recently. I removed six weights so it only added a little over a little over six pounds to my upper body, but felt a big difference nevertheless. (Hoping that adding upper body weights will help increase bone density.)
Hope all have a great day!

I fired up the whacker,, trimmed what I hadn't trimmed last week.
Lunch was easy as Hubby has to eat lightly do radiation treatments this week.
We had nice brake as nephew came in to tell us he's burning the limbs from his wind fallen trees.
Enjoyed chatting with him .
Hubby got busy in the wood pile.
I tackled the flower beds,pulling weeds & replanting the old seeds I'd saved.
Hope some of them grow & bloom.
