Weekend

Was a twelve hour workday today, I am so happy to be at home now. Love all the nice posts here.
I will have tomorrow a very slow day, chatting with Hans, reading, a late nice breakfast, no hard thinking.

I try my new motto (thank you so much, Josh) ' But why worry today about what we can worry about even more tomorrow?'

Breakfast of champions...no, wait, actually it was after 3.00pm. Gin's definitely allowed after three. :)

[Phoebe]

I'm in Chicago, IL. Weather is rather unpredictable in the Midwest.

Today my word is productive! I thought I was going to be lazy because it rained in the morning, but I ended up getting stuff done. :)

:-D I'm not sure that's the motto you should be trying out!

But I'm so happy to hear of you having a long and lovely day nothing to do but relax with Hans. I hope you're enjoying every second.

Yay for unexpectedly getting stuff done!

Balmy


It is a mild and sunny day. The balmy breeze stirs the chimes. :-)

[Karen]

Thunderstorm!

Keeping our yard green (for a desert) and saving watering in anticipation of our daughter's backyard wedding. Knock on wood.

[Phoebe]

Cicada. I'm sorta tired of them.

LOL. I will try this too ;-)

This is very exotic for me! :-)

"Infirmary"

Hubby came home from work sick yesterday. He has the worst flu and head cold. And I've now moved to the guest room. Argh.

What?! You don't like castanets playing constantly in the background?

Poor thing! Best wishes from me, or whatever you can say in such an occasion... wait, I found it: Pikaista paranemista! (although this sounds Greek ;-))

[Johanna]

Josh wrote: "Johanna wrote: "Relief"

No need to worry. Just the usual work related stuff. Things I tend to worry too much about beforehand even though I shouldn't and even though it doesn't help at all to worry. And it's even stupid to worry about things like these -- work things.

Intellectually I KNOW I shouldn't worry beforehand, but too often I just can't help it. I've grown a bit better in noticing this myself during the last few years, but still... I tend to do it. *sigh*

[Josh]

Focus

Which I am struggling with

Understandable. But yes...no point in worrying now. ;-D

He's currently watching some real life unsolved murder mysteries and I assume plane crash documentaries will be next. And The Jaws movie #1. After that it will all be better... That's his getting-better-curve. :-D

Nope, not Greek. It's Finnish and perfectly suitable for this, too! :-) I'll tell him you said so. :-D

Focus. I like that.

I send my get well wishes.

I ended up sick from work today as well, I have been fighting a cold since Southampton and woke up with fierce headaches this morning. I have taken it very easy today, tomorrow I have to go to work. I hope I might be able to have a short day at least.

Well, you know you shouldn't worry, but that is easier said than done, of course. I hope you have a relaxed evening with or without unsolved murders and killer sharks :)

Well, I think this calls for healing hugs all around! I sure hope that if you really need to go back to work tomorrow you can at least make it a shorter day.

I really need to, but shall try to limit myself to the tasks I have to finish and then get out of there :)

[Sabine]

I hope you will feel better very soon, Anne. I think of you, especially tomorrow!

I could recycle ''Pikaista paranemista'' (I like the sound of it ;-), but I'm too classy ;-)): God bedring, dear Anne.

I think he just muttered something that sounded awfully like: "Even though this is a man-flu I think I'll survive."

:-D

[Alison]

I hope you feel better soon, Anne. Take care. :)

And a "get well soon" also to Petri. I am glad he thinks he will survive. :)

[Jordan]

Oh dear! I hope everyone feels better soon!

1-9

I'm working late tonight, my new night schedule on Tuesdays. Adrien is going to hate me when I start coming home at 9:30 instead of 8:30 like before. But at least I'm down to one night a week instead of two. :-)

Getting used to a new job with new coworkers and a new supervisor.

I'm looking forward to hearing how it all looks when you've finally settled into your new work and your new timetable — with all those new coworkers.

Milky-way

The stars are so bright at night right now...

Oh, that's beautiful! I think the first time i saw it clearly was when we went camping. I couldn't believe the detail that can be seen when it's pitch black for miles around. Amazing.

pecans

(in particular, roasted maple/sugary pecans which i will attempt to make this weekend)

I've managed to see Milky-way only a few times during my whole life, and each and every one of those times is unforgettable. Enjoy, my dear!

It's a vast and wonderful sight, and I feel both small and insignificant but at the same time like a part of that vastness. It almost gives me vertigo to gaze at it.

Yumyumyum. :D

Yum pecans!

I just made my granola recipe with walnuts and almonds. Mmmmmmmmmmm... :-)

Vera

I just named spider plant Rake's newly independent baby plant after her. She's destined for the break room at work since I promised a coworker I'd include a plant along with his. :-)

As for work, it's going well, but I'm still getting used to a new department, new coworkers, and new patrons. I think there's been some miscommunication and forgetting of things said already within the department. But, overall, a much better experience. So far.

I'll still be working in my old department for the three voluntary Sunday's I scheduled a few months ago, but I get overtime for that and no supervisor, so it's not too bad.
