Weekend - late November 2017

Monday 20th November 2017. Another weekend gone by, and it has been months since I blogged here.
     Well, in reverse order, nothing unusual, most recent 1. Barb called 2. planted some bulbs in the back yard 3. mowed the leaves or grass 4. had a good brunch 5. Networked Deej's laptop to my printer and then 6. back to Saturday - didn't get outside, did some computer stuff 7. finally put the cans in a bag 8. matched my washed socks, and 9. collected elephants and took photos for Facebook.
    1. Barb called on Sunday evening reporting she enjoyed her daughter visiting with her for two hours Saturday afternoon, and she (daughter) stayed the night with her brother, and they got Barb 'out of her prison' to have Sunday morning breakfast all together.  They had stopped by in Richmond on their way to see their golf-playing son in the university in South Carolina.
     2. Earlier in the fading light of the late afternoon I planted 5 different kinds of flower bulbs, mostly in the back yard around the dead tree trunk, but also two other places in the front year, by the west plot, and  over by the trash bin.  Here's further details -
  3. Before then I mowed the grass, or rather mainly mowed the leaves, as Deej had asked me and as she advised me to leave the mower on high.  Side benefit, I got some Fitbit steps (7,000) doing it.  I was surprised the mower just hummed along, no problems.
There I am after mowing - with Kali (cat) at my feet

4. Before then, in the morning I cooked a great brunch soon after getting up - my normal brewed coffee, 2 eggs, toast with jam, and bacon. Listening to WTJUs gospel hour on my Tap.

 5. In the early afternoon, we worked and worked, but we eventually succeeded in wifi networking Deej's laptop to my printer, yeah!


6. OK back to Saturday - didn't get outside hardly at all, I did some computer stuff
7. Also finally got around to putting the cans, collecting by the refrigerator, into a bag and toke it outside.
8. I did a wash on Tuesday, but I had not matched my socks until Saturday afternoon, listening to the joyous first half when UVa was surprisingly beating Miami - but stopped listening when Miami made two touchdowns right in a row in the second half and kept going (final score, I think, 44 to 28? boo),
9. Woodstock and Colorado firend Iris had put up a very interesting photo of a variety of her elephants on Facebook, which directly inspired me to gather my elephants and take photos and put them up on Facebook
 There you go - That's the late November 2017 weekend.

Back to work Monday 25th Ap 2011

That was tough getting back to work on Monday after an extended weekend in Tennessee.

Monday. Had to catch up on email - and even forgot some things like the microfiche for Ryan in UCalif.  Worked on a Lost book list, ordering about 12 title replacements.  Trying to work on figuring out the Anth and MESA titles to un-subscribe to to get to our 5% cut - reconnecting to Direcotor's Station and using SIRSI - and not finding things or having difficulty navigating, etc.  Then staying late to do some more pamphlet review.  Coming home and mowing the lawn and making a rye bread mix.  And watching the NetFlix movie - Inception.  Those mind games and shifting back and forth, without knowing which, between dream and reality - its not something I'm interested in or enjoy.

Tuesday continued the attempts at review, first talking with George for review titps, and late mroning putting up or developing titles for the UrduFest digitization project over in the media lab with Dan, his assistant, and the media lab assistant.  Lunch, and then AldRef for 2 hours, looking up Anth titles.  Anne coming 12 minutes late, so I did not get off too Susan McKinnon's apppointment until 3:30 pm.  That went okay, but still need to do the list of titles.  Maybe with George's help this Wed afternoon.  Then back to more pamphlet review.  And late (6:30 pm) home but with good bus connections to 6, and walking - my right knee seems to now be okay after some of this walking home daily. Ham again for supper, but really conked out, and gave up sleeping on the couch and fell into bed at 11:30 am in payjamas and slept, slept, slept.

Wednesday - dental appointment at 10 am and back to work.

Can't wait to get through this 5% budget reduction review. Busy, busy, busy
