cool, partly cloudy

 

355 recordings of 49 types. No old SVU (but I still need 2 episodes from season 18), 69 old CPD, and 50 LMS. 23% clear.

 

Below is my Facebook post. The only thing I didn't say was that the dental hygienist Stephanie (who has been there 10 years! I'm amazed, but yeah, I remember 6.5 years ago when we sponsored her on a walk, and sick Rich got mad "you should have told me" and I had, oh I had, over and over) said I was so funny on Facebook, that she hadn't realized it because I didn't talk that much in the office. Because my mouth is full of tools, maybe? I asked her about something personal and she talked to me the whole time. Obviously, she needed to share her problems and I'm so glad I asked.

 

I almost got swallowed by the computer this morning and would have been late to the dentist, but I escaped. Quick cleaning, done before 9:30, so I had to wait till things were open. TJMaxx was open, though, and as usual I found things I didn't know I had wanted in there: in this case, a wire sink screen (that is slightly warped so it's currently in place with a pot full of water on top of it) to replace the current one which has begun to rust out, two new dryer balls so I will have 4 beating up on the clothes, and a griddle! I've been wishing I had one to make grilled cheese sandwiches, ever since I got rid of my Mom's old waffle maker/griddle. Later, at Beds, Bath, and Beyond, I see NOW they have a waffle maker/griddle, but when I was looking for a replacement, all they had was a dedicated waffle maker. Which I now have.

 

BBB was disappointing. I have a 20% off coupon so I thought I might get an Instant Pot. No luckatall. Apparently they don't carry them. They didn't even have any pressure cookers!

 

OK, 10 o'clock had come and gone, so I stopped by the church office, having forgotten they're only open in the afternoons. OK, I'll stop by tomorrow to request a Mass for Rich near his birthday.

 

Then I went to the WPAC office, and saw a woman I used to walk with (before she got a boyfriend.) I renewed my membership and also signed up for this month's luncheon and a trip to Antioch in March to see someone reprising the Everley Brothers.

 

Here at home, I emptied out the garden cart which was FULL of water, hence heavy to dump. That was a LOT of rain!
