Not blown away...

 ... we had our first round of really strong spring storms yesterday. The kitty was uncertain about it all, but did OK. It made the house creak and the chimney howl.


Old Business:

  • Hands Heal continues to be informative, and makes me think about how I do my charting and intake and how I could improve
  • Chores were OK last week. I had Monday off, so did some housework, as well as a lot of paperwork for work
  • Still having hard time with Perfect Union
  • Advocacy Day is planned for Apr 8 - it's going to be fun!
  • Need to schedule NCBTMB
  • 2024 recap done, but have not started back up with P4S
  • Garage gets little bites done, maybe I just need to resign myself to it always being messy
  • Magazines going well
  • I have another shade done for the dining room, so one left
  • Still need to get pulmonologist appointment and tests done
  • YouTube at church is still being a pain, but I think I have some answers
  • E's party went great!  Everybody had a good time
  • Three Dog Night concert went well too, 023 watched Uncle E for me and did a GREAT job.  They both like to dote on him, it's sweet!
  • Newest hire is doing great, she is so wonderful!
New Business
  • Trying to finish up some winter projects now that spring is arriving
  • Need to get lawnmower started and make sure it is ready to go
  • Gonna have to start getting back to weeding.  We are starting to get a few popping up here and there.  Mostly dandelions and creeping charlie - hoping with all that I did in the fall, and all of the wood chips it doesn't get as bad in the sections I have done, like that I can maintain them, and get more of the bad ones done
  • Lenten Roses are blooming!  They are so beautiful!
  • Cherry tree that I bought in the fall and over wintered in the garage has leaves popping out! Now I just gotta figure out where to plant it!
  • Looking forward to state AMTA conference and board meeting

Inconceivable

 It is absolutely mind-blowing the amount of illegal and unethical behaviour that has taken place in this country by our highest leaders.  Most, if not all, of which cause me to be very embarrassed as an American.


Old Business:

  • Hands Heal is still a daily read
  • Was not super good on chores last week, or over the weekend, but not gonna walk away from the wagon
  • A More Perfect Union is starting to become an easier read as I get more intrigued by his commentary
  • Think we've got advocacy day planned for the State House this year.  Hoping to make this a regular event again. New team member is great!
  • NCBTMB, I really need to get off my butt and just schedule it.  I'm afraid of failing and "wasting the money"
  • 2024 recap is going OK, hoping it will lead me back to P4S
  • Magazines, good
  • Garage, I've done a small amount of cleaning and/or watering the plants that are over-wintering. Just this AM I cleaned up a patch, and wheeled the saw outside to cut a new shelf for the closet where I store the magazines.  No, I don't want to talk about it... LOL It is installed and everything shuffled around
  • Decided not to switch BOP and WC, it was more expensive, finally got the refund back from the other company
  • I have one of the new shades made and hung up.  Need to get some straps so I can raise/lower it, but it is there and looks good.  Two more to go...
  • Still need to do pulmonologist
New Business:
  • Need to figure out our YouTube Live issues at church
  • E's 51st birthday party is this Saturday.  Need to do some cleaning and baking
  • Also supposed to go to 3 Dog Night concert with Kim on Saturday. Hoping the kids will watch Uncle E for me
