Last night was the longest night I have ever endured.  I slept poorly, my shoulder and leg pains kept me uncomfortable, and I thought the night would never end.  When Stella started pestering me around 5:30, I decided that was it, and I got out of bed just before 6:00.

Good Morning!  I have watched the new Randy Rainbow segment with Ms. LuPone.  It's quite clever.  I am still not a fan of Ms. LuPone, and that's all I'm saying about THAT.

Things are good in school at the moment.  5th grade invades campus at 12:00 (or 12:30, can't remember) which will be the next class on campus.  Very exciting for that.  We continue to tweak our tech setups, etc as there are still a few kids in each grade that have chosen to remain home.  Sorta helps us keep our cohorts small, which is good.

George & Jim had just gotten their jobs on the tree farm a few months before.  George had purchased a car and had also just become engaged to his girlfriend Opal.

She married a few years later to a young man who went into the service for WWII.  She didn't want him to go.  He enlisted anyway and she divorced him.  She married twice more but never had any children....and died in the 1980's......the internet has a lot of useful information.......

That's great.  Our son wants to return to the classroom.  He works twice as hard and long now, basically sitting in front of the computer for up to 12 hours, and feels he accomplishes far less with the students.  I am sure it would be more rewarding if more students participated.

This is funny.  Eight years ago today I posted on Facebook "is going to watch something besides the debate. I had hoped for better."

I hope for much better tonight.

Hoping for something much better from last week for sure.

I expect that much ;D

We are in lockdown again due to covid.  Schools are still open (high schools and elementary). But now my niece in grade 10 only goes to school every second day. And masks are mandatory.

Stores are still open. But restaurants are closed for 1 month. And no social gatherings or visiting other people's homes. And sports are cut for 1 month.

How did your niece get so old ;)

I am sorry you are back in lock down.  Is it related to schools having reopened?  Is your younger niece still attending in school classses?


I think that part of it is due to schools re-opening.  At the end of August we had like 65 cases a day (for a province of 8 million people). This week we've had around 1000 per day.

IMO they could have been way more cautious re: schools.  Yes my younger niece is still at school full time. But for younger kids you only have to wear masks in the hallways, entering and leaving the school.  But it's not mandatory in classes. Although most of the parents have tried to get the kids to wear them as much as possible.

I don't know when ours opened up, maybe at the beginning of the month? But any resident could check the box claiming Covid-19 as their reason for requesting absentee voting, and the lock box, about 12 minutes from my house, accepted both the requests and the ballots. Easiest thing ever.

In even more news, I've retrieved the Sloppy Joe recipe.

When I'm stocked back up on ground beef, I'm going to make, say, two pounds each of the Manwich mix and the recipe, and the three of us here will do a proper A/B comparison. I'll post the results, and then post the recipe. I haven't tasted this one in at least five years, so I don't want to just foist it on the world without re-familiarizing myself with it.

This morning I stopped by my accountant's office to pick up my tax return. He told me yesterday that he's "reasonably confident" it's correct! I'm sure the IRS or state will let me know if they disagree.

I then went to the Italian restaurant for their excellent lunch special, a real bargain at $7. I get two meals out of it. Their outdoor dining business has been quite good. The lunch special is only for take-out, which I prefer, as I'm not ready to unmask yet.

California is usually very on top of it when it  comes to the elections. I read that they sent out the ballots this past Monday, but I haven't received it. (No surprise.) I usually vote by mail, but may vote in person this time because I don't want anyone invalidating my vote because it's a mail-in ballot.
