Ahhh Monday....so much potential. What does today hold? Oh yes...all those statistical evaluations I avoided working on over the weekend. I cannot hide any longer. #damnit #morecoffe

@poemblaze A lot of work, but the rewards are so yummy!

@poemblaze my goal when I grow up is to be that retired old person who spends their day gardening, reading, playing with dogs, and screaming "stay off my lawn whippersnappers!!"

@poemblaze I was a terrible lit major. I think they passed me out of pity. I'm a much better engineer for having that lit background though. Having communication and writing skills in a field full of introverts who can't write is incredibly helpful.

@poemblaze I understand completely :) I got my masters in literature before switching to engineering. I have several friends who are lit professors and they love what they do.

@poemblaze I love NC. It's not a place I'd ever thought about living but I'm glad I took the move when it was offered. What subject area will your son's doctorate be in? (If you don't mind sharing... ignore me if I'm being too intrusive).

Holy moly it's hot out there. I have to whine here because I can't whine on Faceplace. I'm from Texas and my family would make fun of me for complaining about temps below 95F. I think living in North Carolina has made me soft. If you're out in this heat today, drink lots of water and wear sunscreen. Protect your bald head (if you're like me and have no hair) and ears.

Gutter cleanup and leafguard install day 2. It's going slower than we thought, but most of the time has been spent cleaning out the gutters. It's incredibly satisfying but time consuming. We even found a prybar in one gutter that was left there by the roofer (plus a handful of roofing nails). Today I will wear gloves. I promise.

@GrandmaJ Felt like I had stuck my hand in a cactus. Used some tape to pull out whatever prickly things were stuck in my skin. Doesn't fix the bloody scrapes and bruises though. I'm a mess 😂

For today's safety moment, I would like you to repeat after me...."I will not mess with roofing shingles unless I am wearing gloves." That is all. Carry on. #Ihategloves #ouch

The work week is oozing right on in to the weekend, but I also need to get my gutters cleaned and repaired and I need to spread some more chicken 💩 in the garden beds. #coffee and #run first and then this day has to get rolling because there's so much to do!

@GrandmaJ yay!!!! I'm sorry about the food in the fridge. hopefully you can salvage what's in the freezer.

@GrandmaJ Is power restored?

@uhhh___what It's all about the thrill of taking what they've been told they can't have.....power games.

@GrandmaJ Poor irises :/ I'm glad you're ok!! Although being without coffee is a terrible way to start your morning

@yogapaddlerun she knows me so well. I just have to be careful when doing screen shares with clients.

@yogapaddlerun also, I think you might need this desktop background that my coworker made for me...

@yogapaddlerun nailed it!

Friday!!! There was a chipmunk playing in my daisy pot this morning. My WoW guild is streaming the classic horror flick Halloween tonight (one of my favorites). So far I have no meetings today. It's going to be a fabulous day 😎 Drink your coffee and have an amazing day my friends ☕
