Looking Towards Spring in Sharing 519

[Backseat Radio]

I love my electric mower.  Its fairly lightweight, quiet, and push button start... no pullstring to mess with.  I've got the Greenworks 40V 21' brushless, cordless, smart pace/self propel mower. Its got bag and mulch options but I prefer to spit the grass out the side too. Got 4 batteries for it so I can do my yard in one go.

Home alone until Thursday as hubbs is at a work conf. in Dallas.
Making the foods he's meh about while he's gone lol.

But now I have to trek to the street to get the trash can and roll it back to the back yard cus he's not here.

Our "lawn" service is included in our rent at this house lol. so we don't have to mow/edge all the above. WOOOO.

[Roscoe]

An electric mower would last about 8 milliseconds at my house. The only mower I've found in the last twenty years that has stood up to my thicket has been the belly mower on the tractor.
Went to Little Rock today to apply for a lost title on a vehicle. Then off to Russellville to get some items at Lowes, hang some sheetrock int he apartment and smear a bit of sheetrock mud. The Russellville trip was a highlight since I drove Rusty. Stopped by the church and put some new light bulbs in the men's room. I'd gotten a complaint that the old fluorescents had gone out leave a brother in the dark quite literally. I sent him a pic of the lit-up bathroom after I got done installing them. 
Totally regretting my decision to not take of the first two days of this work week.

I'm starting to wish it was rainy and cold and all that.

I have been successfully ignoring my bike and my gut all winter. How can you go biking when the weather is miserable? But now I am having to face the fact, and the scale, and the bike, and the road. 

Sssssssssiiiiiiiiiggggghhhhhhhhh!

I wish it was raining or something.

[MsJennJenn]

I do not wish it was raining, but if the forecast is right, we're supposed to get rain late tonight/tomorrow?
But you know weather down here - you just never know.

It's sunny and 86 today and I love it. 
I think I'm gonna go to the flower farm and pick some tulips after work. This is the last week of them.

[Roscoe]

Church tonight. Little Rock tomorrow am...branson pm.
Looking forward to the getaway...

I'm writing a test. anyone want to see if you can pass it? it's about stroke patients.

[Lynx]

I don't know anything about stroke patients, so I would fail.

Unless this is a test of cognitive ability, to see if you have had a stroke... In which case I would probably pass, because as far as I know I have never had a stroke.

[Roscoe]

Branson. "David" was a good show/good time. Gonna mosey back home tomorrow..

[The Purple Fuzzy]

I guess you've got to see all the shows and stuff to make Branson fun.

[Roscoe]

I'm really not a huge Branson fan. But it is a cheap get away and it does have a few hidden flea markets, etc. And for Lou and Chey- Klassy Girls and Zadie B's both have stores there. The Sight and Sound theaters that did David always do good Bible plays, and we always enjoy them.
The other shows- eh, really not that interested in them.

[Roscoe]

Spent the last bit rereading old posts. Lord how I miss so many of our little corner of the web who have passed on...Newsman, Kymymbr, MelB,Yooper.....and those who have left.

@Work. Tired. We had a round of heavy storms last night/afternoon, then had to wash Jeremy's uniform and had to stay up late because of the miscommunication on who was washing them. Our basement gets water near the edges on a good storm, and floods more towards the middle in bad storms. So when he threw his clothes down the chute, they landed in the bit of water against the wall. I was doing okay on being sleepy until the last 20 minutes. LOL.

Saturday I had a ladies day to be at. It was good. I don't normally go to many extra things, but I'm trying to be more present and connected this year - so I went. Church on Sunday morning went well. I had my class make our pastor's wife appreciation cards from them. She was surprised. She's a classy, kind lady and we love her!

Reminder of tomorrow's title... believe no one. LOL. It's Liar's Day!   

Changes since February when I last posted.. my brother & SIL are having a BOY instead of a GIRL like we originally all thought, haha. I think I'm going with Mom in the first week of August to meet the newest little love. I wish my dad would go, but he's being stubborn on some things. Hopefully we can get his mind changed before we have to buy airline tickets.

This morning I popped by the bank to correct an oversight of mine before an autopay bill hit my account. The teller greeted me with, good morning!

Usually I reply, I'm trying not to think about that. Today I replied, no no no, April fool's Day is tomorrow. You're one day too early with that junk.

[Roscoe]

Well. Slept in today; did a very little work on Chey's living room; ran errands; went by the church; and went to Little Rock to pick up a blessing. A former coworker who lives in a very well to do neighborhood had posted a new recliner for sale. An elderly neighbor had purchased it and decided it was too big for their living room. An $1100 real leather, electrically controlled with lumbar support, etc... like new, they'd sat in it maybe a dozen times. Nary a scratch. $300. I was very happy to go get it. Of course, guaranteed when I get done with Chey's apartment, Lou will make me replace the couch and other chair to match the new one... but for now it's a great deal.  

[MsJennJenn]

Ya'll say a quick prayer for my hubbs. He's having surgery on his eye in the morning at 5am.

He's blind in one eye and to avoid the retina detaching he's got some sort of oil that's in there that should have been replaced several years ago and wasn't. So now it's causing issues/pain/inflammation. So the surgery is to hopefully fix that. I'm so nervous for him.

[sunlight]

how did the surgery go?

[Nelle]

Yes, I was also wondering how his surgery went.

Last night was a scary night that I hope to never experience again. Tornado warnings all around, we were given some misinformation that the tornado was literally down our street. We were in our basement with no ability to watch any live video or radar b/c our internet/power was off and our cell data wasn't working other than for texts/phone calls down in the basement. Thankfully that was not actually happening on our street but there has been some damage locally and no deaths as far as I know in our small area. I know that in other areas there were a few fatalities. Such a scary evening for so many states.

[Roscoe]

We cancelled church because it was black outside, raining sideways and wind...at around 4pm.
 By the time church would have started ot was clearing here,just rain.
Dreary cloudly day today.
Over it and wanna be free.
Taling off tomorrow to take the 95 year old lady minister in my church to a sectional meeting...

[MsJennJenn]

Surgery went well. He's still in some pain but so far so good. He's got follow-up next week I guess to see how it's doing. Fun fact: surgery was done while awake. He said the numbing process though was extremely painful. It made him cry. 

[The Purple Fuzzy]

It's no fun when anywhere on your head gets worked on and I'm sure the eye is worst of all.

[Roscoe]

Had to take my Daisy Mae to the dogtor today Last night at bedtime, I laid a John Grisham hardback I was reading on the bed and turned to put my phone on the nightstand. The book fell off and hit little Daisy's tiny foot. She yelped and cried holding her little foot up for all to see. This morning, she was still limping so to the vet we went. $240 an Xray, a nail trim, and a shot later it was determined to be bruising and sore but not broken. No my little drama queen is demanding to be carried everywhere.... and I'm obeying
 Off today. Totally not feeling the section meeting tonight but I'm harnessed in to go...

[Lynx]

I am still here, but busier than a midget mountain climber.

For some reason a tornado tearing up the north end of a town makes everybody in three counties want to go to the fast food place in the south end of that town. I guess sightseeing? We done fed everyone in three counties twice, but they keep coming.

Overtime is officially authorized, so my wallet sees no problem with this.

[The Purple Fuzzy]

Is everyone ok with these storms going on?  They seemed to split and the bad stuff went around us, thankfully.

[Roscoe]

We've just gotten Noah's great flood quantities of water. Over it. But fortunately, no wind damage.
Church. This week was state conference, so all weekend has been spent with other preachers. I must admit it was needed.
Sometimes pastoring a local church feels like bailing water out of the Titanic with a teacup. This is one of those times.
 But- we did have a visitor this morning. And I have a message for tonight. SO ready for God to move and uplift. It seems like this season has been pruning and it hurts.
