The fall days are here. Time to make soup for DH’s lunches. It was cool enough last night that I almost used the oven to roast a squash. The vendor gave me the wrong one. Spaghetti squash is easier in the microwave and no need to toss with oil.
 

In for the day. Bulbs planted and bedding plants in the ground, and everything has been watered. None of the seeds have been planted because, um, I just don't have the stamina that I had even in the spring. Hate to admit that, but it's so. This aging :poop: is for the birds🐦🐦.

Heating up a burger leftover from supper last night, then a nap wants to be taken:sleep:

I'm with you on the soup @Jules. We had some on Friday, and always better leftover, I had some again for lunch on Saturday.

DD and DH just cannot get along. It's sad. She and boyfriend came, used the rest room, then proceeded to the living room to look at childhood picture albums. DH was in the sunroom. I sat in the kitchen but went back and forth as they smiled at baby pics.
They came out, sat at the table with me. I expressed my irritation with their planning. They apologized. Life went on with small talk then they got up to leave. They went to the sunroom to say goodbye and get their shoes.
DH was sooooo upset that they just pretty much ignored him after freezing up most of his afternoon. He expressed it. They left upset.
Guess we won't have to worry about that again. They won't be back I'm sure.
You ever decide to stand up and not be a doormat but end up looking like the bad guy? Yup. That's what happened.

How old is DD and is she DH's DD or a step?

I have never carried a smartphone or any cameras into such events although am always seeing subjects that would make great photos. Often will hand finger frame. Might do so some day that would take some thought and planning. My landscape and nature work has always been carefully tripod mounted, never handheld, though have used compact digital cameras handheld for informational subjects for years. In this era ideally, such cultural events are better captured using advanced hi end smartphones and in any case there is not much reason to ever need higher resolution than fits on online social media. Or one might use a high end zoom lens compact camera like the Sony RX100.

No walk for Goob this morning, at least, not yet. I'll take him when it's a bit warmer out. Right now, it's time to warm up with a cuppa!

Yesterday didn't turn out at all as I had thought it would. My "done" list has only 2 things on it! I was just getting on a roll with getting things done, when Dio came by and said "It sure is a nice day. Do you want to go for a boat ride?".

Hmmmmm....boat ride or chores. What should I pick? As you may have guessed, "boat ride" won out. It really was a beautiful day!

Actually, yesterday was more of a test run for the boat, since the last time we had it out was August of 2021.....we were long overdue! The boat purrrrrred, and ran perfectly! I should mention: some guys have "hobby" cars or motorcycles, etc. This is Dio's hobby boat. He bought it new in 1988 and it still looks like the day he got it. Over the years, he has souped up the engine with various modifications, and it's really fast!!!

After my breakfast, I think I'll be ready to walk

. Then, who knows. I might even add things to my "done" list, we'll see.
 
well now...

today has started off as the Mondayest Monday in the history of Mondays...

My RN daughter was informed this AM (with no lead up or any mention previously) that her last day on the job is 9/20-something... boss cites "low patient census" and she's "the last full time RN to be hired" (so hence the first to go).

Of course, she's devastated. And I'm trying really hard to keep a clear head and avoid bitterness in my heart but I admit I'm gobsmacked and walking around like I'm in a daze. I know things will work out but you couldn't come up with some alternatives (part-time, PRN)? wow, just wow.

shame, because I have always been a fan of your photographic work...... this is a world where photos are taken by just about everyone.. including myself. I always carried my Fuji Camera everywhere I went until I got my Iphones.. and now I have it ready at all times in my pocket when I'm out...

That's so sad, CS. Not enough patients! They'll be sorry in time but by then she'll have gotten a better position.

OMG...are you kidding ?... It' hard for me to get my head around this in a country that is desperately short of nurses...

I sincerely hope she's able to get another position very quickly
 
Envious of all of you with your cooler weather. Today and tomorrow should end this spell of blistering heat and good riddance! Sorry/not sorry to be sending it eastward.

A slow day today - had TGS from Sat AM-Sun late afternoon so in a bit of recovery mode. :cool: My fridge is still loaded with fresh produce plus all other necessities from last week's shopping so no need to run out for anything.

Hoping all have a great day!

Is that legal to only give 11 days notice, when the position is not ending because of cause. I vaguely remember that your DD worked in the ER and was feeling burned out there. Maybe I’m mixing her up with someone else. There must be a shortage of RNs somewhere. I feel for her and you.

it's 2 weeks notice they gave her... I just couldn't remember the exact finish date.

Poor, pitiful me:(. I'm lonely and bored and wish it would hurry up and get dark so I can go to bed🛌.

It's probably the lack of a job. I feel so...um...unnecessary.
