For some stupid reason I thught the change was supposed to happen 3AM MONDAY. Duh!

Was I shocked when I got up this AM to find I was 1 hour behind schedule already! I was only going to stay in bed for another 15 minutes, and when I got up it was more like an hour and 15.

well, at least that explains the lost hour. Gotta boogie, now! I have a lot planned for the day.

Was going to take a nap, but it was interrupted by a phone call from my ex- manager to tell me one of my colleagues passed away. I always liked the guy, he was a good dad, a devoted husband, and a fucking energizer bunny when it came to doing stuff around the house. He'd come in on the first workday (we worked a 4-10, three day weekends) and say "I put up 20' of fencing this past weekend!" or "I replaced half the windows in the house" or "My wife wanted to redecorate so I spent all weekend moving furniture ".

I can't tell you the #of times they moved, each time to a more and more rural location, but he made it so seamless. I envied his energy and good humor!

I'm always on the lookout for ways to get healthy colors into daughter's diet, I made chicken tagine with apricots. Hubby loved it, daughter thought it was marginally acceptable.

I think the sweet- sour sauce with blenderized (unrecognizable) tomato and red pepper is a better hit.

I have good days and bad days. Today was a day of aches and pains. Thanks for asking!

Yeah, me too. He was always such a kick to be around. I've never been around anyone so energetic in my whole life.

He came from an interesting family. His one brother was a pediatric neurologist who worked for a while at Johns Hopkins. His other brother was a car mechanic. He was somewhere in the middle, as a chemist.

He and his wife did successfully raise three kids. One is a doctor, and the daughter is a dental technician, altho I've since forgotten what the third child did. He and his wife were very practical people who took their parenting jobs seriously. I remember talking with him about their decision to get the kids involved in sports bc it would put them in contact with kids who weren't gang wannabes, and mom was a stay-at-home who was a booster for all of their teams. That could be why they moved so far away from LA. He never looked back, never held any grudges, just kept moving forward cheerfully. The world is a poorer place without him, and I'm sure his family will miss him terribly.

'Fraid not. Altho I'm pretty sure it's just a case of busy-ness. As a retiree, eventually you get on to the "list of things to do" that follows you around your whole working life, getting bigger and scarier with every passing decade.

It does indeed though I managed to accomplish quite a bit. As in downloading my medical file from my old doc onto a memory stick and then taking it to my new doc, for downloading onto their system.
