I had a nice breakfast at Alki Bakery with a friend this afternoon. I got to show her my new phone and lap top. I will spend some time working on my computer later today. I have new software that arrived this week to use. I got it installed but need time to use it. Today is the weather is not too hot (72° F). I had two appointmnets with contractors ( Read more... )

This morning I swept a few leaves in front of the building and along the walkways. Autumn is coming and the days will get shorter eventually. This week the weather is hot. I am glad to have a small window air conditioner. I work at a place that sells air conditioners. The store has a few window units left, but not many. Most of the phone calls this ( Read more... )

I like my new computer and it's digital television capabilities. I am currently enjoying a live but recorded concert. I am exploring the media capabilities of my new computer. I cannot record the concert I am currently watching. I can watch it on demand, but it starts from the beginning each time. No commercials. Nice clear picture.

Michael Jackon is really dead. The news is breaking and I don't know the cause or details. He was 50 years old. I hear his music every day. We played it during today's fitness class. I wish he never did the plastic surgery. He was great in the earlier days ( Read more... )

I welcome the drizzly gray weather that is here this morning. I will not need to water the plants outdoors for the first time in a month. I will have more time on my hands to do other things this evening. I should probably go to an exercise class. My ankle is still recovering since I injured it a few months ago. It feels more sensitive after three ( Read more... )

I purchased a wide screen monitor yesterday. It is much nicer than my former monitor. Since it is a wide screen, many Web pages only fill about half of it. It is much easier on the eyes to have a nice high resolution monitor. No more diagonal lines. It is 21.5"; a good size a for sitting in front of the computer. I enjoyed looking at an on line ( Read more... )

I hope some of my daffodils can look pretty for a camera shot this year. The hail and rain storm yesterday afternoon has left them bent over with some of their stems broken. Just as some of the prettier varieties were blooming, they got pelleted with hail.

Yesterday was a busy day. My brother and his daughter came to visit late the night before. They spent the day in Seattle. I got to visit with them in the morning before I went to work. I drove them to the airport as soon as I left work. I got to cashier in the Garden Dept. yesterday. I finally had a day with constant customers. It was pleasant ( Read more... )

I will see whether or not the snow will melt on time for me to drive to work. I may walk today. Yesterday I cashiered outdoors in the Garden Dept. It was cold and I kept the door closed most of the time to the booth I was in. I did not stay out there because it was not busy enough to keep me there. I was glad to give a coworker a ride home last ( Read more... )
