Good #Sunday morning, Mastodonians. It's a chilly 66 degrees in the house this morning, but should warm up to 64 degrees outside, so the inside chill shouldn't last long. We don't have anything on the agenda, so we'll see how the day unfolds. I hope it's a good day for everyone.

Good #Friday morning, Mastodonians. Today we get to watch our granddaughter while our daughter goes out to get some things done. Unfortunately it's a rainy day, so we probably can't do much outside, but we'll have fun doing whatever we can do. I hope it's a good day for everyone.
Good #Tuesday morning, Mastodonians. Today our daughter and granddaughter are coming over, and we'll watch our granddaughter while our daughter gets stuff done. Before that, we'll drop Sweetie off at the groomer, and pick her up at some later point. And in the evening a neighbor has invited us over for a barbecue. Talk about a busy day! But it should be a fun one. I hope you all have a good day.
Good #Wednesday morning, Mastodonians. We had a fun day yesterday with our daughter and granddaughter, and then going to dinner at our neighbors' house and getting to know them a little better. Today will be a quieter and cooler day. Yesterday we got up to the mid to upper 80's, and today we'll only be in the upper 60's, according to my watch. I'm glad, because yesterday was almost uncomfortable by evening. We don't have anything planned, so we'll see what the day brings. I hope it's a good day for everyone.
Good #Monday morning, Mastodonians. Today is our son-in-law's 40th birthday, and he's climbing Mt. St. Helen to celebrate. The thought of doing that sounds scary to me, and I pray he'll stay safe and have fun. We have nothing going here. I'm the only one up so far. It's supposed to be a rainy day today, so we'll see how that affects what we do. I hope it's a good day for everyone.
Good #Tuesday morning, Mastodonians. We bought some patio furniture yesterday that will be delivered tomorrow, the same day as our daughter and granddaughter come to visit. We got 4 chairs and two tables. I'm looking forward to enjoying deck time this spring and summer. Nothing is on the agenda for today, so we'll see what the day brings. I hope it's a good day for all of you.
Good #Thursday morning, Mastodonians. Our temperature today will be about 69 degrees, so not a bad day. We don't have anything on the agenda, so we can let the day unfold and bring us whatever gifts it has for us. I hope it's a good day for everyone.
Good #Wednesday morning, Mastodonians. We were worried about Sweetie last night because she didn't seem to have much of an appetite, but this morning her appetite is back with a vengeance. Yay! We have nothing on the agenda, except to walk between raindrops, so it should be a good day, as I hope it is for all of you.
Good #Monday morning, Mastodonians. It should be a good day today. We have some banking to do, and our weekly Zoom contemplative prayer group, but other than that, the day is open for whatever comes our way. I should make an appointment for a haircut, because I'm feeling a bit shaggy. So those are my Monday morning pre-coffee ramblings. I hope you all have a good day.
Good #Saturday morning, Mastodonians. I woke up suddenly, realizing I had something I needed to take care of right away, so got up extra early. Not what I wanted to do on a Saturday morning, but when you're retired, every day is Saturday, so I'll survive. We have nothing on the agenda, so we can have a relaxing day despite the early hour. I hope it's a good day for everyone.
Good #Wednesday morning, Mastodonians. Sweetie must be reading my Mastodon posts. Yesterday I talked about how she wakes up at 4:00 and doesn't settle down until it's time for me to get up. Last night she went out around 2:00, then settled right back down, and was still sleeping when I got up, though I hear her moving around now. But thanks to her staying asleep, I was able to get a high sleep score. Yay! We have nothing on the agenda, except for another beautiful day in the 80's, which I intend to enjoy. I hope it's a good day for you all.
Good #Tuesday morning, Mastodonians. I slept really well last night, so it should be a good day. We had a lot of things we took care of yesterday, but today we don't have anything scheduled. I still need to get my hair cut, so maybe I'll see if I can do that. The rain is supposed to come in tonight I think, but it is supposed to only last until tomorrow, so after all our winter rain, that doesn't seem so bad. I guess I'm gradually getting a Washingtonian mindset. I hope you all have a great day.
Good #Wednesday morning, Mastodonians. I was awake quite a bit last night, but I think once I get some coffee in me, I'll be ready to face the day. Dan actually got up before I did this morning. We have an interesting thing we discovered near our house. There's a swampy area in back of our property, and it must be breeding season for frogs, because they are back there singing their little hearts out. Can spring be far away? I hope you all have a good day.
Good #Sunday morning, Mastodonians. All is quiet on the western front. Sweetie and I are just waking up, and I hear music playing, so Dan might be surfacing soon. We don't have anything on the agenda for today. I think it's supposed to be about 11 degrees cooler than yesterday, so the temperature should be in the upper 40's, last I heard, with possible showers. But we'll make the best of it and make it a good day. I hope it's a good day for all of you.
I got so curious about the full-cast Harry Potter books that I signed up for an audible account. You guys are a bad influence on me!
Good #Tuesday morning, Mastodonians. I'm the only one up so far, trying to record what remains of the Mosen Explosion, but the connection has dropped out, so it looks like it will be a bust. It should be a quieter day today. We have nothing on the agenda after our busy day yesterday, so we can move at a slower pace. I hope it is a good day for all of you, at whatever pace you're moving.
Good #Saturday morning, Mastodonians. Everyone is still in bed, but I was ready to get up, so here I am. It should be a free day. A guy is supposed to come by to discuss solar energy with us to whom Dan couldn't say no, but I'm not interested at this point, and when Dan remembered how freaked out Sweetie gets when strangers come into our house, he lost interest as well, so I'm hoping he'll cancel his appointment. Otherwise, it should be a quiet day. I hope it is a good one for everyone.
Well, the bike was sold before our daughter could get to the place to see it, which was fine, because it gave us more time with her and our granddaughter. We played for a while, then our granddaughter and I watched Dan teach our daughter how to use a saw and nail gun to make her window planter box. We were out on the driveway, enjoying the sunshine as they worked, and it felt so good! Then we walked to a nearby Asian fusion restaurant and picked up lunch and ate it back at the house. Now we're relaxing.
I finally got a station added in FastPlay. Once I did a shift tab and got out of the initial radio add dialog, I was able to find where I needed to be to find how to search. Yay! I'll probably mostly use the program for my workouts, but at least now I know how to do the radio. Yay!
I got the phone updated. I haven’t heard about any updates to the watch, but I will check that when I put it on to charge before bed. On another note, Dan has been having pain in a tooth and his sinuses and a slight ear ache. The doctor didn’t think it sounded like a sinus infection, so he went to the dentist today, and they decided to replace a crown, because his sinuses were inflamed, and the dentist thought there might be an issue with the tooth. So we have been texting back and forth while he is there. He gets the actual crown today, so he doesn’t have to have a temporary and go back later. Yay.
I think I will check out the update to the phone.
Neither our daughter nor our granddaughter will be over today. Our granddaughter wore herself out on their hike, and our son-in-law has to clean up the campsite, so our daughter is taking the baby home. So the plan is for us to get together on Monday.

@JonathanMosen@caneandable.social Dan and I were just talking about you guys today and wondering how the trip was going. It sounds like it has been amazing.

@NightDrake@dragonscave.space it is my first time listening to the full cast recording, but I have read the books about 1 million times, and can almost recite them. :-)
Replying to
@NightDrake@dragonscave.space I am still on the first book of course, but I love them. I am a big Harry Potter fan, and I am glad I took the plunge in getting the full cast versions

@Lynn @baxaphobia @amy0223 I think, as I've reflected on it, that the way I would have explained it to Little Peggy would be to tell her to imagine herself as that loop. Then I would put an arm around her and tell her that was the wrap-around string. Then I would show her that my arm around her made a new hole.

@technocounselor@caneandable.social I am loving the first book so far. It is fun to listen to it as a drama after having Reddit so many times.
Replying to
@JonathanMosen@tweesecake.social OK, I went back through your timeline and found out when she was born. Congratulations!

@Mendi_Tech@mastodon.stickbear.me I think I was thinking of closing a conversation rather than closing a timeline. Sorry 'bout that.

@robini71 I'd never even heard of NaviLens until seeing this post. I just grabbed the app. I wonder how you can find out what products it can identify? Do you just wave it around the kitchen or cupboard or something?

@baxaphobia @amy0223 I was ten when I learned to tie my shoes. My parents and camp counselors tried to teach me, but I just couldn't understand the process. I remember when it clicked, we were in the mountains in a cabin, and I finally understood what people were trying to show me. My family and I were ecstatic, and they kept untying my shoes and teasingly saying that I couldn't tie them, and I kept tying them. It was great!
@robini71@dragonscave.space Thanks. I Googled it. Looks like I'll have to register for their services. I wonder if I still have the certification of my blindness letter that Kaiser wrote a zillion years ago? Hmmm.

@SyHoekstra @RaineyDay I have kicked over Moore wet floor signs in my life. I have never slipped on the wet floors themselves. Once someone was telling me about a wet floor sign, and she slipped.

@jane_jordan I like quiet sounds, not something that can be heard all over the house. I have it set to play a sound for notifications, but for some reason when I get a favorite, it still reads aloud the message which has been favorited. Very strange.
Replying to
@JonathanMosen@caneandable.social That's disappointing. We've had no plans to get the Brava, but it sounds like it has been a great product, and I know you and Bonnie have loved cooking with it.
Replying to
@Lynn @baxaphobia @amy0223 I could just never understand what to do after making the first loop and then wrapping the string around that loop. People would try to show me, but their hands would get in the way of my feeling what they were doing. The only thing I can think that happened was that I realized that when I wrapped the string around the first loop, it made another hole.
Replying to
@technocounselor @Lynn @baxaphobia @amy0223 I don’t like to do that, because it can break down the sides and back of the shoes as I’m cramming my foot in.
I tasted my first Krispy Kreme doughnut today. A neighbor had a job interview with the company, and brought us some donuts. I am not a big doughnut fan, but have always wanted to try Krispy Kreme, so today was my chance. I had some kind of a sugar doughnut with a filling. It was nice and light and very good, but it didn’t convert me to becoming a doughnut addict. smile

@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space @jscholes@dragonscave.space @Bri@fwoof.space @Aryan@dragonscave.space I had to go through and change each timeline to absolute time, because global didn't change them. Even after my manual change to each one, Notifications still shows relative time.

@robini71 I thought there might be something in the app, but I didn’t see anything when I looked at it. I just might have to fire it up and walk around the house pointing it at stuff. :-)
