my wife and I have finished dinner, and done an hour of cleaning and hoovering, which is not nice after a hard days work!
Also so hot and humid and raining !!
2:36 PM Seriously thinking about taking a whole VICODIN when I get home. Post surgical pain from Friday's dental extraction.
20.42pm,i am messing about on my kindle while my hubby is working out how to use his new phone which is one of his Anniversary presents.Its our 25th wedding anniversary tomorrow and he has a week off work so we are just chilling.It would be a good week if i was not suffering from the flu and have got a very sore throat.
Happy Anniversary, Nicki! Saturday the 1st would've been my parents' 51st wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, my father died of cancer (hate it!) in August of 2013.It is 12:50 pm right now. It is hazy outside due to the wildfire in Lake Chelan in Idaho.
I'm eating a salad, going through my g-Mail, and listening to Tchaikovsky's The Queen of Spades on BBC Radio 3.
Thanks Kirsten.Sorry to hear about your dad,my dad passed away in January 1996.He was a bus driver and a lorry went into his bus,he only had two broken legs but he also had emphysema and the hospital operated on the wrong lung,there were a number of other mistakes and he died in hospital.I still miss him.
10:02 AM: Listening to The Hobbit 1977 Intro Rankin/Bass.mov on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Fw0l... while wading through email and catching up with GR...and wishing the City of Belleville would STOP doing weekly tornado drills because the more often the drills happen the less likely people will be to HEED them when a REAL tornado whips through Belleville!
it's sunny and warm at 11:02am and I am updating a website for work while listening to spotify and sipping iced coffee.

It's still smoky from the wildfires in Lake Chelan, ID - even though I live in eastern WA.8:28 a.m. - just back from walking my dog and looking at the new housing development going up a couple blocks away. (Still can't figure out how they're going to fit 39 houses in there!)
Now, I'm listening to The Diane Rehm Show. The topic: New Efforts To Help People With Mental Illness Get Treatment Instead Of Jail Time
Kirsten: What does THE HOBBIT have to so with that other story? Oh...never mind. Reread the part of my previous post about the damned tornado drills. Yes, they've heard of it but actually REMEMBERING said story takes common sense and as a species politicians just don't have any.12:09 PM: Listening to 03 - Quest For The Glaive - Krull - James Horner on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0mgL... while continuing to wade through my email and try to catch up on GR.

I think the wildfire is a little closer than you think if it is Lake Chelan. Lake Chelan is in eastern Washington north of you. It might be another lake that is in Idaho.
Rhonda: Sorry to hear about your wildfires.10:38 AM: Celebrating the results of my dental follow-up to last Friday's extraction with a bit of a browse through GR since I'm gonna be very damned busy today once I get home.
I'll post details of the results of my extraction follow-up tomorrow if I can't make it back to the library today.

I had heard it was in Idaho. However, now we have a new one outside of Walla Walla. Between all the wildfires and hearing that the rivers are too hot for the steelhead and the sockeye salmon, it makes me mad that our leaders keep on saying there's no such thing as climate change.
It's 10:48 a.m. I'm going through my e-mail and listening to On Point on my local public radio station. The topic is: Doctors Say High Cancer Costs Can't Continue
It's cloudy and cool in NY at 20 minutes to three. I am working and listening to a 90's throwback playlist. I've had better days for sure but it can always be worse so I count my blessings and out the worst behind me. take care everyone!
6:01 PM: Was listening to watchmojo.com's Top 10 Most Famous Kings In History on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYfgT... while catching up on email and brwsing GR.As promised earlier today, here are the results of my follow-up to my post of 7 hours ago: What I thought had been rice grains or pieces of tooth stuck in my jaw since Friday turned out to be chips of my JAWBONE! Don't ask! I am no longer banned from consuming rice, rice pudding, tapioca pudding, steel cut oats, popcorn or corn on the cob.
It is 5 o'clock and I am catching up on Goodreads. I was able to catch up on a few things around the house and finished two books. I need to get busy reading because I have book club coming up next Monday but haven't read my book yet.
It is 4:33 p.m. Just got finished being disgusted my Seattle Mariners. They lost their game in 11 innings. (I swear every time they put Fernando Rodney in, I get an ulcer.)Now, I'm tuned into WFMT on-line (out of Chicago) listening to the Grant Park Music Festival playing some good classical music. Am reading Angel of Darkness by Caleb Carr.
It's 9:35 am. Our electricity just went out for the next 6 hours for scheduled maintenance. Got my coffee made and my kindle charged. Sounds like it's going to be a great day!!
It's 9:21 a.m.I'm going through my G-Mail and listening to the Diane Rehm Show. The topic: Preview Of The First Republican Presidential Debate
Urk...more like the Teathuglicans, Kirsten.11:46AM: Listening to EvanNova95's Vs. series episode called Lord Hoth Vs. Darth Bane on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgqW0... while reading email and trying to catch up to GR.
1:14- eating rice pudding
Gabrielle wrote: "1:14- eating rice pudding"Just plain? Or do you add fruit or something?
10:21 a.m. - Getting ready to start The Cincinnati Red Stalkings after I make my bed. Streaming the Academy of Ancient Music playing an all-Mozart concert via BBC Radio 3.
Kirsten I can eat it either way, but I prefer it with just a sprinkling of cinnamon on top...rice pudding, that is.
1:21PM: Listening to another of EvanNova95's STAR WARS based Vs. series episode: Yoda Vs. Exar Kun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CyQb...

It makes me mad, too.
It's 4:30 p.m. I'm drinking a cup of coffee and going through my G-Mail. I'm streaming episode 3 of 5 of a reading of Robin Marantz Henig's biography of Gregor Mendel: "A Monk and Two Peas" on BBC Radio 4 Extra
11:00AM Listening to Rhapsody of Fire - The Mystic Prophecy of the Demon Knight (Full track) on YouTube @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu7x_... while reading email and catching up on GR.That song is a little over 16 minutes.
9:02 a.m. - Listening to the Domestic Hour of the Weekly Round-Up of THe Diane Rehm Show on my local public radio station as I check my G-Mail.
1:13 pm: kid is off all day with his buddy--last weekend before school starts (I can't wait). Hoping to go the bookstore with my wife so I can get her a birthday book with my birthday gift card. I get much more pleasure buying her books than myself. I prefer the library-don't have to figure out what to do with the book when you've finished it. And having a two to three week deadline focuses my reading.
My husband and I just got home from lunch with a friend at Outback. Caught up on all the gossip.
