My husband is back after 8 days! 
Got a small package from my best pal, who lives on the other side of the country. She's in very poor health--has very poor hearing, so she can't use the phone and can't walk due to illness that has damaged her spine; she has been incapacitated for years, but we email each other regularly. She sent me a package, saying she was sorry she missed my wedding anniversary (it was in March) and she wanted to send me a present. So I opened it and found a lovely birthday card (my birthday is in September). She wrote that she was itching to send me this present but needed an excuse, so she wrote Happy Anniversary on the box and put in a birthday card, where she wrote over the text of the card: To the strongest woman know, here is the other strongest woman I know."
It was a FunkoPop figure of Ruth Bader Ginsburg!
I love Little Ruth. I'm going to have to make room for her on my shelf.

Binge-watched Blue Bloods on my new TV.
Drank gin and tonic.

I stopped Blue bloods after the end of season 8 just got a little bored with the Reagans
I watch it just to see Tom Selleck; yeah, it's pretty boring. Every time Danny has a case, I pretty much just fast-forward through it until Tom Selleck shows up again.
Love that show. Once wife and I were through that we went on to Brooklyn 99. Yes, it's a comedy but it was a lot of fun to continue on with the NYPD.
Did I mention that I have a new computer now? It's a lot faster than the old one. Plus the keyboard is more responsive. With the old one, you had to push harder on some keys or the letters would not appear. I bought a new laser printer too. It's (according to the add) the smallest laser printer of the world!! The installation was child's play. The computer has a functional vocal interface. (I can get an article from Wikipedia just by asking). I was afraid that I wouldn't like windows 10 but so far, so good.
I had a huge hate period with Windows 10 but now love it. I didn't think I'd use speech at all but find that it's fun and easy. Try asking Cortana silly questions and see what she does. I've had fun with that. She responds to things like.
Sing me a song
Tell me a poem
Will you marry me
There's a ton more you can ask her and her responses are funny.
Holy crap, I'm tired but I got a lot done today. Went into Junior 's room and pulled out his hooded litter box and the long plastic "tray" it sits in. Emptied it all out, took it outside and scrubbed it all down & rinsed it out with the garden hose. Then vacuumed out his room and washed his kitty bed. Threw out all the "used" litter and then put his litter box back-- ready for business with fresh litter. Then took a shower because....GROSS. Also got the mail, polished the banister, took out the trash and the recycling. Then I gave Junior his flea meds drops..the kind you rub on the back of the cat's neck.
Now my neck & back hurt. But I got a lot done, so I feel good about that.

I did the washing yesterday and hung out the clothes. There's something calming about doing that and I love hanging out clothes.
I saved 15% by switching to Geico. 
All I could come up with.

After being furloughed then let go from my job three months ago due to the corona-virus, the company I applied to and interviewed for last Tuesday called today to say I've got the job and start tomorrow at 8am. Thankful because so many others are out there looking for work.
Wonderful! I'm down to two days a week with my job but it's good enough for now.
Congrats on the new job!
Got my money back for those Cubs games I was supposed to go to next month.
Hubby is finally coming around to the idea of fixing up the house. We visited three different flooring stores today, and got good ideas of what things will cost if we decide to replace the downstairs carpet.
My church opened back up today.
The livestreaming is fine, but it's just so much better for me to go there in person. Plus, they never livestreamed the chapel service which is the one I usually go to.
