Whew!

 I make NO promises this week!

Yesterday was a busy day with running errands

all over town... Aldi for freeze dried strawberries,

Sam's for Kyle's chocolate milk, Rod's 5-hr energies,

and 4 giant bottle of lemon juice (he drinks his own

lemonade and goes through LOTS - it's SUPER healthy!)

Tractor Supply for feed...

And then home to put the groceries away,

toss a piece of Tilapia into the air fryer for a

quick tilapia and quinoa salad with raspberry vineagrette.

It was DELICIOUS!

And quick.

Cuz I needed to log into the ZoomRoom!

Logged in at 5:30 and started teaching at 6.

I had TWENTY-EIGHT students!!!

That was a LOT!

But it went well and we were all done at 10:10.

Then it was "sit on the couch and read a book 

to wind down" time for a bit, until honestly I

fell asleep. LOL. (And forgot to go outside

and close the chicken coops... oops!)

This morning I woke up and looked at the clock.

It was only 6:46. A bit early. I closed my eyes and then

looked again. It was 7:55! What????

So I got up, got my oatmeal cooking on the stove

and headed outside to feed the animals.

Came back in and sat on the couch to eat my

breakfast and do my morning CFM reading.

And looked at the clock - it was 9:45!!!!

WHAT????

I was still in my jammies!

(And I'm supposed to be at work at 10! HA!)

I NEVER get there on time.

I'm generally pulling through our gate at 10.

Luckily Town Hall is only 3 minutes away.

So, yeah, I was late. Again.

But that's ok. I kind of do whatever I want.

Anyhow...

I got started on a project (they have me do all

the "annual reports" they keep forgetting to do...

I guess it's my niche!) when we all remembered

we were supposed to have a Staff Meeting.

That's kind of a laugh - since "staff" is only 5 people.

(And one is out sick this week...)

But hey.

We work in opposite ends of the building,

so it's nice to get together every other week

(the morning after Town Council) and talk about

what happened in the meeting and what that means

to us and our work load.

And then it was lunch.

(a can of Progresso Chicken Noodle soup and 

a mandarin orange... yum)

And then the Building Department went NUTS!

The phone rang, people kept coming in,

lots of people standing in our tiny little office,

talking, laughing, asking questions,

meanwhile I was on the phone getting payments

for building permits and trying not to freeze

to death. (It cooled WAY down this afternoon

and our building is OLD...)

I'm supposed to get off at 3.

HA!

I generally stay until 3:10 to make up for being late.

But today I didn't get out of there until 5!

And only then because I HAD to leave!

Ran home to feed the animals and back into the Zoom Room.

Started my zoom at 6:30 and then heated up a couple

of left-over blueberry waffles for dinner while

I waited for my students to start arriving.

I had 8 students this evening for Orientation. 

That's about normal these days...

Finished up at 9:10 and then had to update

the attendance roster for both tonight and last night

and also send emails to all of them.

Finished at 10:15.

And figured I'd better check in on my blog.

Tomorrow morning Kyle and I are driving up to

Samsula to get the BIG batch of feed.

(1300 pounds of cow / horse)

And then I have to be on the Zoom at 5:30 again

for another 4 hour review.

And then its back to the Town on Thursday

and a 2.5 hour Orientation on Zoom in the evening,

then back to the Town on Friday (the Building Dept

Manager is selling her house and buying a new one

next week, so she's taking the week off and I'm 

covering, so I need to go in and make sure I'm up

to speed on everything...)

then back on Zoom for a 4.5 hour review starting at 5:30.

And then Saturday is my final (for the week) zoom

again at 5:30 for another 4.5 hours.

It's Stake Conference this weekend, so I "could" drive

down to Vero Beach for the "adult" session - stake

leaders are invited, but Rod and Kyle probably have

jobs lined up and Rod isn't in the stake leadership 

anymore and I don't really want to go alone...

so I'll probably just watch online.

Whew!

It's only Tuesday and I'm already beat!

And if you read all that... you might be too!

Sorry... No pictures today.

BORING!!!!!

But, as I mentioned at the beginning of this novel,

I make NO promises as to whether you will see me

again at all this week...

So, read slow.

HA!
