Frig

comes today. I listened to the old one chirp and chip last night.  It really has held on well--over 29 years! It started this unhappy chirping in May--so kudos to GE's strength.  The machine I bought is an Amana. The freezer is on the bottom.  The door opens on the opposite side--should be fun learning that trick ;-) I'll spend some time cleaning out this frig and putting the extra food out on the deck. It is cold enough it should be okay for an hour out there.  

I have plenty to do while I wait for the Heydlauff crew.  I just don't want to do anything.  Laundry is always waiting, have done most of the cleaning, could work on my lecture but Humanities has lost a lot of its luster, need to organize my other 3 classes--piano, guitar (where do we go from here--what can the kids do and still do well and enjoy) and then MT&T starts Finale.  I guess it would be best for me to go into school early on Monday to see if I left my "old" finale projects there.  They don't seem to be neatly filed here at home.  I did look.  I found a lot of other things though--and lots to throw out.

It is rather "fun" going through house stuff. Gosh, we accumulate a lot of things! I think I'll "do" the pantry today.  The top shelf fell down in July and I have yet to get a ladder, make the climb and put things back together.  No time better than the present.

After doing the recycling yesterday on my way to Dad's--yes, he gave me more magazines.  Denise also has been bringing home magazines from Ben's (I mean stacks, not just a few!) She often will package up the medical ones and send to Larraine (come on, old medical magazines??) To me they seem like great fire fodder.  Perhaps I have the "wrong" attitude.

Emily and I pattered back and forth via text message.  Her flight from MN was quick! She was "home"  a lot sooner than I anticipated.  I have a feeling everyone is sleeping in this morning. Dad, Denise (who is in Vegas for the week) and Emily are all late night people--like 2am going to bed people.  I guess getting up at 4:45am for 6 years has kinda set my clock.  Even Muffin makes sure I am not sleeping in.  She was whining at 5am for me to get up.  When I came out to see if she 1) needed fed? 2) needed to go out? --she didn't want either. Like Kayla, she just wanted to be sure I knew the time.  Good ol' Kayla.  I still miss her!

Off to play

Hope you enjoy your day!

ps  Bought gas on Ecorse and Beech Daly yesterday for $1.59  When the pump stopped I thought it was broke--it only cost $18.42   When I started pumping, I was practically empty, too!  Far cry from those $58 payments at the pump!
