A Weird Day!

Good Morning!

Hope everyone is doing well and that you all had a great weekend (though the days are sort of all running together, aren't they?  Hard to distinguish weekends from weekdays...).

Yesterday I did venture out to my office.  It felt weird to say the least.  I got there around 8:15 and there were 3 other cars in the parking lot.  But, they must have been for other offices, because when I went into our offices, I was the only person there!  Tom from IT was in by 9 and he did his magic to my laptop so that I now have access to the legal database.  My conference call was at 10 and by the time that finished Bruce had come in and I met with him for about 5 minutes.  I saw Dan, our CFO who was in for a video call with our parent company.  Supposedly Bobby (CEO) was in as well but I didn't see him.  And that was it.  So, counting me, a total of 5 people in the office.  So strange.  I did bring home my printer since the one I had at home isn't compatible with Windows 10.

Oh, I did check on the hawk's nest on my office building, but saw no activity.  I don't know if they just abandoned the nest or if they had young who have already flown or what.  I was disappointed not to see them.

By 11:10 I was leaaving.  I stopped by Trader Joe's and had to wait in line about 5 minutes to get in - not bad.  Picked up the few things we wanted/needed from TJ's and was home before Noon.  I spent the afternoon setting up my docking station, monitor, printer, etc.  At least now I can really see the spreadsheets I work on rather than squinting at my laptop screen - my aging eyes don't like the little laptop screen.

I managed to do my workout - I have not missed a day yet!!  And last night we had a fire!


It was getting a bit chilly outside (freeze warning again) and it felt so good.  Colin & Mailing came over for about an hour.  Again - weird to sit around, but apart, and no hugging or anything.  I do not like this!

Walking around, I noticed that our wisteria is getting ready to open.


If we can get a nice sunny day these buds will open up and be gorgeous!

On the knitting and crocheting front...I started a new sock, but more about that tomorrow.  I think this newest pair will be for my sister-in-law out in Boulder, CO.  I have 3 granny squares finished and a fourth that is part way done.


I'm sort of up in the air about this project.  I don't love them.  I don't hate them.  I like making them ok, but I'm not wowed by the whole thing.  I'll make a few more and see what I think then.  I may end up just making a pillow out of them.

What I need to do is pick up that shawl I am almost finished and just finish it!  Also I need to rip out the sweater I was making the other year and re-purpose that yarn.  Maybe those will be my projects for today.  I will work out and maybe take a walk - depends on the wind situation.  I shot a few arrows yesterday, but lost one in the day lilies, so I may have to abandon that practice until I can figure out a way to avoid doing that (better aim would help - lol).

Well, time to get rolling.  My boss is calling in 5-10 minutes and I need to get a fresh cup of coffee before then!
