Afternoon Hello

Up in my office this AFTERNOON and saying 'hello.'

Sleep this morning interfered with some of my routine.  GoT is on VERY late in my world and I didn't get to bed until 11 pm (practically the next day - hah).  Up at 7 am and Duke saw the dog walking group and wanted to join in again.  That left no time for second coffee or journaling.  Both are happening now :-)

No spoilers ... but GoT was not a great episode.  In fact, I'd say one of the worst ones in the series.  To avoid spoilers, I won't say why I think this, but I'M RIGHT - hah!

The food was great yesterday, but OMG too much work.  It felt like more work than Thanksgiving because the recipes were new and SO MANY STEPS.  The only dud was the corn casserole.  I made it up without the dairy too and we liked that better.  The dairy never thickened and it was like corn swimming in cream.

I'll be adding everything else into rotation -- not all together though!!

I went to lunch with a friend today and had a great lunch, awesome conversation (she my favorite to chat with) and came home with a bag of greens from her garden.  Win and win.

I'm knee deep in Releash stuff this afternoon.  Sort of happy to be back, mostly not.  We're getting a foster tomorrow -- more on that later.  I need to find a way to enjoy the application calls again.  A BIG turn-around is my only hope LOL.  I love the rest of the stuff (fostering, fundraisers, transport).  The problem is NO ONE likes the phone calls.  I think doing my share is only fair.  Everyone can't do ONLY fun things (even though that's exactly what most do).

I've predestinated (what is this autocorrect??) procrastinated long enough.  Fingers crossed for VOICEMAILS ... it's come to that.  Later gators.
