Happy almost Hump Day
It’s been a very busy few days.
As mentioned Sunday morning, I hiked with a friend at Island Lake State Recreation Area. Our trail was 6 miles; however, we ended up hiking 7.92 miles. We hiked the yellow trail starting at the end and intended to hike to the beginning. We would occasionally pass posts that we had to look at the reverse side to see what the mileage was. When we saw the 1.0 marker, we knew we had one more mile to hike. At one point there was a Y. We continued along the leg of the Y since the other top part of the Y looked like it was labeled as the blue trail. After we’d hiked a while, my friend said, “haven’t we gone at least a mile?” I said we should be there very shortly. Coming the opposite way were two mountain bikers and I made a little gesture so one of them stopped. I asked him if we were close to the parking lot and he said we were going the wrong way. So, we had to turn around and go back to the Y and this time take the right upper hand part of the Y. I was BEAT! (not breast LOL) Had just a little trouble on the drive home, approx 20+ miles. Got home and had about 1-1/2 hrs until mass so I thought that I could take a catnap, get cleaned up and get to mass on time. Well I was so tired that I woke up 7 minutes after mass started. Oh well. Luckily I dvr’d the mass that morning so I watched it that evening. Palm Sunday is the longest mass of the year because the entire Passion is read. But the tv broadcast is only allowed about 25 minutes so no Creed and the Passion was cut down to only the most salient passages. Hubs did go to our parish for mass and he said he was unable to stand for the entire Passion. He said mass was so long, he almost fell asleep twice.
Have worked both M & Tu. Yesterday I called the guy who had been in charge of all the sanitizing products for the office during the pandemic and asked if there were any wipes left over because the new office location is filthy; it hadn’t been used for the last 11 months. I only asked for one package of wipes. He put together a box of about 4 packs of wipes, 3 cans of sanitizing spray, a box of latex gloves and 2 boxes (that I didnt open) of some other cleaning product. So, I went and picked that up and also worked out on 4 machines at the Fitness Center. Had leftover pulled piggy for dinner.
After work today filtered 3-1/2 gal of water, walked with a former co-worker in the neighborhood and made cheeseburgers for dinner. Then I mumped and am writing this out. As soon as I’m done, I have to go Krogering.
My BFF called during work to ask if I could take her to the hospital tomorrow for some kind of appointment, I think imaging of some sort, because she accidentally tripped and fell in the backyard on Friday and her arm came out of the socket and she went to the ER to have it reset. Tomorrow is a followup. Her husband can’t take her because he’s having cataract surgery tomorrow and her daughter is taking him. So, no matter what kind of issues each individual is having, someone else is having worse. This is something that I have to keep reminding myself in re Hubs.
I’ve only read post #1 because I had to first read all 55 posts from Sunday on last weeks MMP. So, here are a few comments on those posts:
shoe congrats on being recognized with a raise for the great work that you do!
Taters Hubs enjoys feeding the birds very much. I’ve had to buy a replacement bird feeder because those gosh darn squirrels gnaw parts of it out, sometimes it ends up on the ground. The Bark Butter Feeder looks interesting. I looked up where a store might be that sells them and found one not too terribly far away. Do you think that squirrels can destroy it?
When I saw LSL’s pic of the license plate, being a Spartan so also Big Ten fan, I immediately thought perhaps it had to do with Scott Frost’s implosion as coach. Obviously the real cornhuskers, hippie and BBB already covered this. Haven’t heard who the new coach is (after the interim who was terminated for some unsavory conduct).
hippie there’s misalignment?? I couldn’t see it but then I’m not that much of a crafter/quilter. Your test block is beautiful. Will you use it to make something smaller?
doggio at the shipwreck meme.
Ok, off to Kroger to get the end of the circular discounts and a few necessities that we are out of. Probably won’t be able to read M & Tu until tomorrow or Th. Take care All.
