Pool guys here. The salt cell burned out so it wasn't making any chlorine. We put in a couple tablets to get it back up so the boys could swim yesterday, but now it should be back up and converting. Whew!

Rainy here. Bleh.

Hair salons are opening up tomorrow. The boys will get theirs done Saturday. I postponed mine until mid June, after I color it again. I'm just having her cut it. I'm really liking my color and don't mind doing it myself.

We might get a sprinkle, but the weekend is supposed to be dry.

Doing some laundry.

I'm going to pick Cate up around 4, and bring her to my house to have dinner. That way her parents can have their anniversary dinner in peace.

I hope everyone has a good day.smile

Afternoon.

Need to run the trash to the dump.

It's rained most of the day, nothing heavy, steady and soaking.

I'm thinking of bleaching my hair and doing pink tips. When my hair is this short, I can cut anything off in a week or three.

Happy anniversary to Cate's parents.

That clock just stares back.

Thinking burgers tonight.

Happy Thursday.

Just had a zoom call with some of the top brass. We ARE going back to the office. How that will look and what timetable is yet to be determined, but we are definitely going back at some point. I volunteered to be in the first phase. I haven't been following the "guidelines" at all, so I have no qualms whatsoever. I'll be the guinea pig. Heck, I've been in direct contact with about 10 people in my office during this time, so going back won't affect me at all. ..with the exception that they are going to rope off all of the common areas. UGH. That's going to suck. No coffee, no refrigerators, no microwaves...

We will be one of the last to return to work. We have been on telework for over a year, so we've proven we can and have been quite successful.

Three hours in an MRI machine. My back is killing me. Glad I had some pain killers. Now I am about ready to head out to physical therapy. Got tired, lazy, and fed up and hired two teenagers to do some cleaning for me before Saturday. I need to rest a bit before I start all the cooking but that probably won't happen. I have a nail appointment Saturday morning. Gonna get a mani and pedi.

Had the absolute BEST limo driver
when I treated my Aunt & Uncle for
a limo drive on their way to the 50th
Anniversary party I threw for them.
He helped me load helium balloons
into the trunk, along with 12 large
centerpieces. When we arrived at
Aunt & Uncle's house, we discovered
that A & U had invited 2 couples to
ride with them, unknowing that a
limo was waiting for them. No
problem - the driver cleared off the
front seat, & my DH rode with him,
while I hosted a champagne & shrimp
****tail party for A&U. When we were
seated in our private room, I asked our
Maitre D' to have a meal sent to our
driver (they all park in a central area).
Most of the time, nobody remembers
the people who drove them from A to B,
safely and smoothly. He had the same
choices we had, which were really great.
When we left, we dropped off A&U &
friends at their home, and I proceeded
home with 6 centerpieces and balloons.
Driver helped me in with the centerpieces,
and several large boxes of leftovers
("doggie bags!).

When I got up the next morning, there
was a message from the driver, saying I
had left my evening bag in the back seat,
and when would it be convenient for me
to have him drop it off. When he arrived,
he wouldn't accept a gratuity! But I got
an idea! I called his company, asking for
the highest ranking person on the premises.
I told him what an exemplary employee
they had in Mr. X, and the next time my
boss needed a private limo, I'd ask for Mr. X.

It's wonderful to have so many happy
memories. Thanks

 Oh, no.  And she is getting her own office?  I said yesterday I bet she doesn't come back.

I get woozy in limos. And not from the alcohol.

The boston subways system is at a halt. It is a disaster around here. Can't risk it.

 Yup - they made busses free for COVID, but then realized that social distancing was a thing, so they closed every second seat and refused standing.  So, fifteen people per bus?  And there;s not point becausse the homeless ride all day anyways.  So out of 15 seats there might be 10 for actual passengers.  Now our transit system just started cutting routes and laying people off because "they're not making enough money" and "ridership is down".  Evo it is.
