June - Glad you could redesign the grading. I know that takes up a significant amount of time. Hopefully the insurance, etc., is finally in order.
Love the pic Bee. Hope your eye is doing better.
There is always room in a plan for pizza, Ann, as long as it is good pizza!
LaDonna - At least it's your Friday!

Pooh on finding the optical center closed after venturing out.
I did not realize that Carl was still serving on the Grand Jury. Bravo for his cummnity service.
Ha ha ha... Buckeyes are a big deal in O-H-I-O! All cookie tables for weddings must include them!
Bee j
Sharing a a family gathering is another great tactic. But I might Hoover near homemade carmels, toffees, and turtles.
Going forth w/ y'all.
Plz come & do some chores for me. W/ so much exposed dirtiness the front, side, & back yard... mopping is largely pointless. But I will undertake that task before Xmas.
LaDonna
Ha ha ha... a paycheck and extended break sure does raise office morale. Loving the positive energy.
LaDonna & Bee-- Ha ha ha.... I can tell that you are southern bred through & through. This ne OH gal I saw a heavy frost when she looked at the picture.
Still a pretty scene though.

Susi
Exactly! Pizza can be part of the picture. Enjoy, Ann.
Yes, I am giving myself a pat on the back for the revisions. I will only grade 5 complete sets of class papers! The other 10 will be varied formats that cut grading time to half or less. I also chucked any grades participation activities. I do not have to create, revise, introduce, grade, record, or discuss these activities. Also I am calling roll as opposed to creating & updating sign in sheets. Will print off university's class roster and tick off names. Student withdraws-- no problem. I do not need to make any changes. University will do that on the classlist. I designated 3 make up days. Set aside last class day for an extra doc.analysis. That should eliminate almost every hard luck request. Make mechanism already in play. W/ luck, I will not be giving or grading a final document analysis during the final exam period. Also I should be able to use cut & paste syllabus policies if a student e-mails me requesting a make-up.
Go team Ladd!
Picked up R's new hearing aids. Another phone call this morning smoothed the way. Was a great savings for us since R was eligible and had met the individual/family deductible and individual out of pocket maximum. The money we saved on the hearing aids was roughly what Cobra cost us since mid August.
Yay for a financially beneficial outcome!! Made my many phone calls worth it! Plus R says sounds are crisper.

June bravo on R getting the hearing aids and saving $$. Win win. Also sounds like you have your working schedule under control. Yes nothing better than good pizza  I am going to sit back relax and enjoy. I called yesterday to ask if this optical place accepts medicare and my other insurance. Unfortunately they don't. I shall go back to BJ'S as I've had good luck with them in the past. |

The performance was sweet and grandson Hayes was a star with dancing and hand movements. He is not shy at all.
LaDonna happy last day of your week.
MJ, I hope your son and grandson feel better.
Rushing off to visit my friend who has suffered from depression for the past two years. I’ll be back later.

Surprise! The Kressling is here. And there will be a jumble of stuff going on this weekend with wrestling and soccer practice. We are standing by ("retired = ready-to-go") so Son#1 can perhaps have a break.
I'm revising lists and definitely making menus to get through Boxing Day. Tonight is the prime rib (my first attempt ever) that we will not get on Sunday.

MJ I'm sorry son#1 has pneumonia.That's some nasty stuff.I am glad they didn't have soccer practice that late.That is just too late.
Ann 9 is cold.Brr.We woke up to 20 degrees this morning but another beautiful day and it warmed up to 63 although with the south wind it felt a little chilly.Tomorrow afternoon we are supposed to have rain but not much I don't think.Even though we only had one thing on our agenda it turned into more but that's okay since we got everything done.
Susi We ended up eating out for lunch so I'm a little behind in hydrating and mostly because it's just hard to drink water when it's cool but I have been moving well with stretching twice a day.It helps so much when I do it before I workout.I hope you enjoyed the luncheon.
June I don't think I would ever forget about frozen treats.I am having less pain today as long as I do my stretches before I workout.It sounds like you have a good plan regarding school responsibilities.Your menu sounds great.
Bee Your frozen humidity does look like snow.We had frost the last 2 mornings also.

Ann It's this time of year when I'm glad Kenneth doesn't want to use propane for the oven.I buy him mini almond joy's because he loves them and they taste too sweet to me so I'm not tempted.
LaDonna Yea on today being your last day before break.I have to agree Scooter is a lucky rascal.More rascal than lucky a lot of the time lol but it's hard to resist her pleading eyes.They are so big and brown.She was born with black eyes and with her having black fur she really looked beautiful.They are brown now but still beautiful.
Ann I'm sorry the optical place was closed but it sounds like a good day to stay in.We are supposed to be a bit warmer in the morning but won't get out of the 50's once the rain comes in if it comes in.
June I'm glad everything worked out where R could get his hearing aids.
Audrey I'm so glad Hayes did so well at the performance.Those little ones can be so cute and sweet.Prayers for your friend.
MJ I always thought retired meant ready to stay.Your kids are so lucky to have you and I know you are always ready to help.Good luck with the prime rib.I hope the weekend isn't too crazy in divaland.

Ann
If you found a frame that you like, then you might find it online. If BJs has the frame, maybe they could make & insert the lenses.
Happy frame hunting.
Very happy to have new WiFI hearing aids for R & only pay for the charger. Nice to maximize the insurance.
Very happy to shift around the grading policies to reduce my grading load.
Am ready to relish the win-wins.
Audrey
Sounds adorable!!! So sweet to hear about Hayes' exuberance.
Hoping that your visit had some positive moments. You area good friend.
Becky
That is really encouraging news! Yaaaaaaay!
Mj
So kind & thoughtful of you to give your son a chance to rest so his body can battle the pneumonia. Prayers!
Nice to have Kressling around.
Mmmmm. Prime rib is my fav. Let us know the results.

Tomorrow it's going to be warmer 29 and sunny. I'll take that, Becky.
June I'll just take my script to BJ'S and pick out frames. Last time they were running a deal. Hopefully they will this time also. I like the opticians there. Very helpful and friendly.
My pizza was great. Well worth every point and # I'm sure will find me tomorrow. I saw a very seductive number on the scale this morning. That will be short lived lol.

Late check in. I tracked every bite lick and taste today as I finished up my Christmas shopping. Now to get the house in order. We’ll decorate the tree tomorrow. I will be focused on making thoughtful choices and aiming for blue.
Sleep well everyone.
