Hmmm, no one's here. Well I'm late even getting online today. I slept until 10:30

I had my 2 cup limit on coffee and finally went through Sunday's newspapers. Clipped coupons, started on my grocery list and I still have to match up coupons to sales. I figured up bills for this weeks pay. Pretty much some little tedious jobs. I am not pushing myself, I'm still wore out from the last 5 12 hour work days. I really should go outside and enjoy the beautiful day but then I can't take my computer out there so I'll wait on that.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

I took the teens to swim practice at 0700, got a cup of coffee and a donut, and talked to one of the other moms during practice. Very no-brain-power-required, just what I needed.
I had some leftover pancake batter from last night's dinner, and made pancakes for lunch.
Spent some time online researching a case management program online - think I'm gonna do it - $500 and it would open up a lot of job possibilities for me
Did some school planning for this year, our 24th year of homeschooling
Made dinner
Watched disc #3 of Ken Burns' Baseball anthology - fabulous - I LOVE BASEBALL!!!
Now I think I'll go sit on the deck and watch the sunset before bed!!

Hi all! I think I could use this daily accounting.

I was up and had breakfast before heading to the gym. I have an unlimited monthly pass so I like to make good use of it. I go three times a week.

DH picked me up with my computer tower and we kept on going to the computer store to have it repaired. There were a number of things that needed doing. We were debating buying a laptop, but I talked DH out of it. It's for me. But I didn't want to buy it until our savings topped $10,000CAD. We aren't quite there yet. He is chuckling at me. It's just a goal I have. I want that savings for our trip east this fall and as a cushion to lean on for home renos. Truth be told, I'd rather have a new kitchen than a new laptop! The lady told us it would only cost a couple hundred to fix my computer. Sounds much better than the $1400CAD for the Apple laptop I want.

Had lunch at home. Read a libary book. I'm real tired today. I've done a lot of exercising the last 24 hours and I really need a break.

A friend came over after lunch and we visited and traded books and discussed books and other things. She brought some dill from her garden for me. She is a great pal to have around and we lose track of time when we're together. We haven't seen each other in almost a month, so I suggested we go out to dinner.

We ended up going to a Chinese restaurant and found a delightful supper special menu with meals for $9.95CAD! That's what we had. My meal came with an egg roll I couldn't eat so I gave it to her for a snack tomorrow.

I finished my library book tonight and will be sewing soon...working on projects I want to finish.
