On my early walk this morning around 6:40, it was 14 with no wind. I walked 2 times back/forth on our driveway The sun was beginning to rise, knew it would be a nice day ,temps in the 30's
After breakfast,I took bus to local grocery store 'Price Rite' got few items. I was waiting for the bus after 10 min, I decided to walk home because it was a beautiful morning,6 blocks. It took me 25 min,after putting groceries away,I sat in my recliner for rest of the morning reading my book
This afternoon I was thinking I would go out for 1 more time,but the winds had picked up,decided against it. I had my long walk of the day walking home from grocery store
This evening,I'll tune in to watch NBC's Dateline love that show, especially when Keith Morrison is narrating the story

Made stuffing baked on the side; onion, celery, butter, sage. I think I baked the chicken just to have the stuffing!

Yes, it was done in 2020 for HBO. I haven’t searched yet but believe there’s a second season too.

This is nothing like the original with Raymond Burr in a wheel chair. It’s set in 1932. Very dark, which seems to be the way they do remakes now.

All the episodes are ~one hour so I don’t have time to watch two in an evening. It’s a very rare day that we watch tv after 9:30.

Thank you! That is very interesting to me.
 
Today I RETIRED. :) woot woot!!

My work access was removed early in the morning before I logged on, which I'd known was possible so I worked until 2 AM last night to get tasks finished up. I was glad to get my last day totally off (though part of the day I spent packing up my laptops etc and taking them to FedEx to ship back), but it was disappointing to not get to send a goodbye email to my teammates (though now that I think of it, I probably would have wasted time stressing over the wording).

I did telephone into the morning meeting to say goodbye that way. My teammates wished me a happy retirement but the manager expressed happiness for me getting to "resign". Although I've worked a long career and gotten old and started Social Security, my manager could not call my leaving "retirement" because I've only worked at this particular company for six years, and the company definition of retirement requires having worked there 10 years. Seems that if a manager were to wish me a happy "retirement" they might cause the company to be legally required to vest me in my pitiful 3 shares of stock that were part of my bonus. 😖 :rolleyes: The company may keep their $291, I spent the rest of the year's FSA money today so we are even! 🤣

It was weird emotionally when I went to bring in the empty trash can (today was trash pickup day) to not feel the usual pressure to hurry back to my office in case anyone needed me. A couple times I've wandered in and out of that room. It is so naked without my work laptops.

an update, I started to watch Dateline last night with Andrea Case.The story was about a guy who owned alot of snakes,don't like them. I switched channels 10 min later
 
Another day of heavy rain.. .. it hasn't stopped the Clay pigeon shooters tho' I can hear them firing in the distance..

No plans for today.. Daughter rang and said her car broke down again, so she's returned it to the dealership this morning, and they've given her a courtesy car .. they believe that for some reason the battery isn't charging..apparently on these Hybrid models it's a problem.. , but of course it's taken up 5 hours of the precious time she needed today to get finished with her house moving, she was in the middle of emptying the garage from the last house, to take the stuff in her own car.

Her neighbours who are my age and are like a surrogate set of parents to her have been really helpful , and provided help with the move using their own car and trailer to move all her garden pots, plants, ornaments and garden furniture..

Today I've done nothing but open mail.. make a snack lunch... and empty bins...and in this weather I have no plans to do anything else...just staying in the warm comfy cosy house all day today.

Morning all....it's a warm day here with rain in forecast for tomorrow....I'm in a state of disbelief this morning....I woke up with no back pain just some soreness, this after weeks of pain so bad I had to take a pain pill just to walk.....crazy!

Congratulations, Honeynut on the retirement!
