the presence of joy. hmm, nice. day two, super nice.

Hi Planetary Council Members!
I carried the trays of seeds out into the sunshine........it is currently a sunny 77........nicer for plants outside than in.........the kitties thought about making a quick get away, but thankfully changed their minds.
Trying to decide about Sunday.  ........thinking about making a pot roast, mashed potatoes and veggies for Sunday dinner........not going to a restaurant.  So far heard from the oldest child and he is fine with whatever Momma wants to do........and he doesn't mind peeling a few potatoes if it means a home cooked meal......!  If I can - church would be lovely of course.........I'm feeling generally sassy overall.........trying to ignore the rest. (cfs/fibro is climbing on me.......like a daggone monkey......)
I think I told ya I decided that instead of getting a new bed I would add a new memory foam pad.......well I put it on the bed yesterday.  It sure is nice........I put it right on top of the one I already had.......lol, well I did.........the mattress pad & top sheet had no trouble covering them both, so I figured that meant we're all agreement!  It feels really good!  If you always wondered and never tried them, they are a nice alternative to pricey new beds. 
The backyard garden hose sprayer turned on me earlier this morning.............so rude!  It suddenly sprayed outta control and wouldn't shut off until I turned the water off at the spigot........reporting live from the future home of all things candid camera............weren't the creeeeeepy bugs in the mailbox enough?  Usually I opt for the more conventional indoor shower........gee whiz.  Yup I sprayed myself but good.
The air purifier/vacuum incident is almost cleared up........finally figured out how to use the attachment thingy........but now the red flickering light won't reset to solid green.  To me, this air purifier is kind of pricey, so I gotta tell ya I was VERY SURPRISED when the lady instructed me how to hit the reset button.  There is a small hole in the panel.......the home owner is to unbend the highly technical tool we all call "the paper clip" ......stick the pointy end in the thingy and that is supposed to reset the light.  Still can't believe that this is the tool.  Who designed this and why didn't they create a better tool for reset.....or even better simply let a body lift the panel,hit reset, close it and move on to other things........but for now, we still have a blinking red light.  ACK.
I'm listening to Linda Ronstadt sing............la de dah!  I love listening to great voices sing with orchestras...........makes me very happy!  If you watch US American Idol at all........I'm hoping that Miss Glover from the Carolinas will win..........she has some kind of great voice!!!!!!!  Love all three girls in the finals for different reasons, but in pure singer land, this girl has the chops of an Etta, an Ella, a Lena........my CD is skipping, oh dear.  This is gonna break my heart.........I love this CD and have played it to death........no, hang on, this makes me very sad......can it be saved.  Wonder if there is a way to refresh it.......fill in any small scratches.........?  Time for a google search huh!!!!
I took a big load down to the trash yesterday.........so proud!  Cardboard, magazines, kitty litter bags, regular trash gone gone gone, thank you Trash Men for all you do!!!!!!  They are good guys, they even put my trash can back on the yard now consistently, not on the road anymore........so yeah, I have big mad love for them!  The invisible people who work so hard to help us live better..........!!!!!!  Sometimes I hear them, but I never see them.......!
Now then, what to make for dessert on Sunday...........fresh strawberries on a slice of angel food cake......sounds good, maybe some home made whipped cream!  shoot...........that does sound good......i also like peach shortcake......hmmmm.  wish i could order enough energy to have a picnic.......go to a park by a lake.........so far it's looking like blue skies on Sunday.  Could put the pot roast on fresh hoagie rolls, eat outside!!!  The Great Gatsby is opening on Sunday.  Did ya'll watch the version with Robert Redford back in the day?  but if we just stay right here.......sit outside a while and enjoy a nice meal that would be just fine! 
Judy Garland is singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow".......feeling pretty good.......cept for the sick stuff.........smiling.  Maybe I'll scramble some eggs, then take a nap..........go shopping later today or tomorrow for Sunday dinner.  Hmmmm..........Sam drove to Charlotte today for meetings.......he drives back Friday night.......and works all day Saturday.  Not sure what Sara is up to........haven't talked to her since .......I guess it was a week ago..  She was going to perform at a cafe.......that's right.  Now I'm remembering.....cfs is ramping up, ignore it, IGNORE IT. 
Dishwasher empty, gonna go hang up the clothes from the dryer..........Annie is taking a bath and Rio is sitting in the window keeping watch.  We're doing alright................hugs!  My vacuum is double dog daring me to vacuum the master bedroom.......I'm putting my hands over my ears........LA LA LA LA LA, I can't hear you........LA LA LA LA LA LA LA.......later ya'll!

Ok this is gonna sound ultra strange, wanna fix that cd? Rub it all over with peanut butter ( has to be the smooth variety not crunchy ) then wipe it all off with a soft dry cloth or towel ! Fills in any scratches and 9 times out of 10 it will play properly again. Told you it was a strange one, don\'t even remember where I picked that tip up from, only done it the once myself but it did work !

Would you believe I\'m just catching up with your journals from May 5th. DS is messing up! I haven\'t gotten any notice of messages, hugs or journals. Today was the first I got messages & hugs.
I hate creepy crawly things! I go ape if I see a bug or a frog for sure! My husband gets a kick out of me.
A picnic sounds like fun. Hope you get to do something fun. Hugs xo
