It's 3:00pm and we're at 85° now. That's still plenty warm for April, but maybe we won't reach the predicted 90°. (Edit: just after I posted that, the temp here in my browser jumped up to 87°)
I went out to the new truck plaza to get gas and a bag of popcorn. I can see Mrs Web's former banking workplace from there. At 1:30 there was only one vehicle in the employee parking area. That makes me think the etch was still at lunch, and maybe they haven't hired anyone yet. I wonder if four people leaving within two weeks time is making others a little shy about applying there.?.? I'm sure there are people needing work badly enough that they will find bodies to fill the seats. Maybe the etch is doing the hiring and she's being careful to screen candidates to make sure she doesn't hire anyone smarter than she is. Can't have the new people making her look bad.
Ugh, every time I look out the window, I see grass that needs to be mowed. That means sharpening blades and changing oil. I better get on that sometime soon.

It is going to be HOT here today and tomorrow. They are talking close to 90 degrees today, and 85 tomorrow. Then it's supposed to cool back down and possibly freeze again over the weekend. Sheesh.
I was carrying a piece of particle board into the shop this morning and just before I went by it, I thought "Watch the hand by the band saw". I then peeled the skin off two knuckles on the band saw.
I just realized I'm 20 minutes late with my morning soda. I better get that started.
We had funky weather like that last week. It even snowed in the western part of PA and into NY on Sunday. Down here we had rain Saturday night through Sunday. We needed it. We still need more. But for now I'd like it to dry out over night and through tomorrow so I can give the front lawn a quick buzz tomorrow night. It is all uneven and a little shaggy and it is starting to bother me.
Sorry about the knuckles Web.
Back to stuff for me. Today I am cleaning up some random items that have been hanging around for a few weeks. I need to get to the emails that also have been around a little while. Then I have to get into the audit prep. That is May 7th & 8th. I don't have the sales information yet. Then three more states PPT returns are due 5/15.

What's new in my neck of the woods... Isaac has been re-diagnosed, and he is high functioning asperger's. He scores were on the extremely high average range on everything except math (superior) and expression in written form (below average). He doesn't exactly qualify for the Gifted and Talented, but his teacher wants him to see if he can test into the program. For now we have him on an Individualized Education Program. He is able to leave the classroom setting for one hour in the afternoon, which is his high anxiety time. He goes to a room with a tutor to work on his writing to get it to grade level and to decompress. It seems to be helping, but I feel like this should only be a temporary thing, because I'm hoping to have his off IEP by middle school. We'll see...
I was hoping to come back and play on a regular basis again, but it doesn't look like anytime soon.

Sometimes having a diagnosis in itself is a relief. Good luck!
Fuzzy, you sound so much less stressed, almost like it might be safe to be in the same room as you, at least for a short period of time. ;)
Web, I'm not used to your weather being so much warmer than ours. We're at 60 and cloudy right now. It's strange to think that somewhere else in the midwest it's almost 90.
Mz - I am doing better. I am working through a lot of things that got pushed off. Plus, there is still some work for me to complete. Still spending too much time at my desk. As a matter of fact, I should go home now. I'm glad to see that the script writing is going well.
