What's on your agenda for today?

Sadly, driving in-laws to airport. Had a nice time. We don't see them often since they live in Oz.

Going to behave for the next ten days until the next round of decadence when our friends arrive from Scotland.
 
It's 12F here. 12! 12 is much too cold. Fortunately, I'll be working like a whirling dervish for a new client today. Moving around will keep me warm even if the client keeps her house cooler than I'd like. Today is her 15th wedding anniversary so she's giving herself a cleaning lady for an anniversary gift:)
 
Taking our passport apps. to get the ball rolling. Takes 4-6 weeks to get them in mail. Trying to decide between a passport card or book. Card is much cheaper but the catch is your can't fly at all with the card. If one of us got sick in Bermuda, we would be up s---- creek. With the card, you can cruise and drive but no flying. For safety's sake, better get the book.
Card....$30
Book...$110. Each
 
I had to renew my passport recently. I hadn't intended to because I won't be traveling anywhere other than Canada and Mexico. But then came the edict about having to have passports even for Canada -- for heavens' sakes!

But as I do intend to get back to Victoria B.C. to Butchart Gardens and high tea at the Empress Hotel, renew it I did. :(
 
Sounds like everyone is doing something worthwhile. Even daily chores can be rewarding when you get to see instant results! I like that part.
My chore for today is to drive 65 miles to see my mechanic and have him fix a flat tire, then put the tire back on the car after removing the spare, and getting that #$%^& warning light on the dashboard to go off. It's snowing here in Central Minnesota today, so I'll have to be careful driving. Tonight I have to attend our local monthly Planning Commission meeting, where I serve on the board. We make decisions on whether to recommend approval of people's applications for Conditional Use Permits, zoning changes, etc., to our county board. It's interesting work. Good luck to everyone on your list of to-dos today.
 
Puttering around inside - maybe some tidying or cooking - we'll see, not exactly motivated to go out in the freezing cold. Tea and TV.
 
I went back to work today after 2 weeks annual leave..worked like a dog for 12 hours trying to get on top of all the work that had been left for me because of other people's incompetence or laziness..or both.. ''Leave it to Holly'' she'll sort it out...of course why not, what else would I want to be doing other than picking up everyone elses' slack? :tapfoot:
 
Frustrating. Got everything together for passports and thought to myself, what could go wrong?
Well, here's what went wrong. First, the application was to be filled out in black ink not blue. Guess who used blue?

Second. Of all the damn stupid things, the passport pictures had a glare in them. A glare? Good lord, they looked fine to me. Two little, 2x2, pictures were $11.99 each. Back to CVS to see if they will make it right. Geez.......
 
Spousal Equivalent got home Tuesday night from three weeks at his mother's house, trying to either find help to keep her in her home or get her settled in assisted living. He talked to her three times yesterday; things seemed to be going as well as possible. We just got a call....she's back in the hospital. Here we go again.

What a bummer of an experience! Now you have to start over. Grrrr.
 
Taking friends we have not seen for 10 years out to tourist sites in our home town.
We met these friends on the side of the road in Westen Australia while traveling in our caravan, after meeting we traveled together for three months before they headed back to their home in Queensland and we stayed in South Australia to arrange to have this home built. Despite the distance we have remained friends we are calling our catch up a 10 year reunion
