Seems like a good day to “dial it down” a bit so I won’t post some of the stuff that’s simmering in my brain today.

The highlight of my work day was when my new colleague caught something I neglected to tell him about on our call this afternoon. After our call, I had been thinking something like, “I shouldda told him that.” But guess what? He noticed it himself. Because of that, I was able to explain it *in* context so that he could understand it in a way he *might* not have been able to if I had just gabblety gabblety gabbletied the whole thing. He’s a smart person and I think I am connecting with him well. I am going on 18 years there though and I know so much but how do I whisper all that stuff to a new person. We’ll get there.

The GG surprised me by heading out to his monthly lunch with his EPA retiree group today. I thought that happened earlier in the month but apparently not this month. A key member of the group had spent months in Crazy Old Florida and has just returned so the group delayed the meeting a couple weeks. I was glad to have the Landfill to myself for a while and the pic is from his luncheon.

At the end of the afternoon, things got crazy at home (sorta). Our quick green lizard wanted to come over to drop off some glubs that the North Country Trail folks might want. That was fine (honey you can come over to my house whenever you want). But then all of a sudden, the GG woke up a bit and, yeah, we need to take Moooon Yoooonit over to Toyota to fix a squeaky brake noise (we had the brakes done a couple weeks ago). I am an early morning person but driving to the Toyota dealer at 7:00 AM is not my fave thing to do.

So we dropped off Mooon Yooonit and then Lizard came over and did a mini cocktail hour with us. I am so glad my beautiful daughters live close enough to us for this kind of thing to happen.

We finished the evening with Easter leftovers and an episode of Queen’s Gambit. We were between TV series’ as of yesterday and Queen’s Gambit caught in the corner of my eye so we decided to try it out. Some of it is difficult but I think we’re gonna go for it. Note that I don’t understand chess at all.
