Well, this has been a weird day. Woke up at 0230 and instead of trying to get back to sleep, I got up and put the garbage out front and completed the book I have been reading. Raisin bread for breakfast, then about 0830 I laid down and slept until noon. So not a productive day so far, but in screwing up my metabolism, it has been great. **Nava,** are ā€œsoap operasā€ popular in Spain? If not, your family could probably star in one in Mexico or India. **swampy,** sounds like a nice visit and you got back just in time for the hurricaneā€¦ **Drae,** take a walk around the building if you can before you answer that e-mail; then wait 5 minutes after you type in and read it again. Save you a lot of future hassles (voice of experience). Of course, if it was something you were dealing with person-to-person, well, hope it went well. **Nuts,** a 20-year old in a supervisory position is not going too be comfortable, either for her or the employees. Hope your new job has fewer stresses. ---

**Nuts** congrats on your excellent timing in making your move. šŸ˜ƒ **Nava** sorry to hear about the family drama. Families can be, er, _interesting_. Are you based in Barcelona again? I usually get out there every year for the Mobile Conference, but it looks like this year I will not. I will let you know if it happens. **Drae** Any reason you canā€™t update your information on LinkedIn? It might not take too much effort and you might start getting some nibbles. Today I have paid bills and played with my new coffee maker. I love it dearly and my DH has noticed that our coffee is too old. :smack: Iā€™ll probably start laundry in a bit. Or something. Definitely something. ---

The e-mail wasnā€™t actually _to_ me, I was just copied on it, so I didnā€™t really need to do anything. I just grumbled to myself and let it go. > [@Sunny Daze](#): > > Drae Any reason you canā€™t update your information on LinkedIn? It might not take too much effort and you might start getting some nibbles. That would require me to actually _use_ LinkedIn, I suppose. šŸ˜ƒ But Iā€™ll start looking around after the wedding. I saw a great posting last night, but I probably am not qualified because I donā€™t have any medical office experience. Might apply anyway. ---

I stopped for ground beef on the way home. A meatloaf is in the oven and another is in the freezer for a future meal. Not sure what Iā€™ll make for sides, but Iā€™ve got time to figure that out. Meatloaf - yum! ---

\*\*nava[/B, yours sounds like the family ties that bind and gag. šŸ˜› I took the day off for a doctorā€™s appointment. Heā€™s sending me in for an MRI later in the month as my back and knee are still giving me issues. I swung through the craft store for some supplies, then came home. Called Dad to wish him a happy birthday and talked to him for an hour while sitting on the patio. I think Iā€™ll kick back and play in teh studio this evening. ---

Meatloaf was OK, but not quite done, dammit. I thought an hour would be enough. Oh well. Blueberry turnovers later. Iā€™ve packed the last 5 pieces for the store, which my sweetie will deliver tomorrow. ---

Dindin has been ingested. I did good both taste wise and leftover wise. Just enough leftovers for OYKW to have a good N.O.L. tomorrow. Go Me! Oh and I made some brownies. **MetalMouse** the hurricane has no effect on me on this side of the state. Ye Olde Home Towne is also on the west side of the state where I am so it wonā€™t have any problems either. Well, some winds cause thatā€™s the case always but not big winds. We need rain but not hurricane amounts of rain. Iā€™m more worried about **Butters, Peaches, and doggio** cause they are all way closer to the Atlantic than I am. Not sure if **MOOOOOOM and rosie** will have any effects of Matthew or not. ---

Todayā€™s conclusion: if my husband had been in charge of logistics for the D-day invasion, Eisenhowerā€™s skeleton and a million rusty tanks and planes would still be sitting on the southeast coast of England! We wasted a whole damned day putting a tarp on the camper, in the most complicated way possible. So now the leading edge of the storm is almost halfway up the Georgia coast, and I still have hours of work I need to accomplish tonight. Grr.
