10 On Tuesday

** Yesterday's life-changing event. Click here to read it. How could I not still be thinking about it?

** I have to go to the DMV this morning and renew my license. First time in 16 years I don't have to attend classes and put in time with a trainer for a CDL. The "official" end of my bus driving career, I guess.

** Glad I bought the protection plan for the sofa back in December. The rubber backing on the mouse pad disintegrated along the edge and there's a streak of black rubber that I can't get out. If I call and they can't remove it, they will replace it.

** I will be doing sort of the same thing no matter which part of the building I am in at work. My boss had me implement a new way of doing things in the wing I'm always in on the non-dementia side of the building. It is a wing where the majority of the residents are incapable of speech and most physical activity. The regular morning activities of exercise and word games really doesn't fly. So, as of yesterday we are doing something more like what I do in the dementia unit...a lot more sensory type stuff to try and stimulate and engage them. It went pretty well.

** It is going to be so stinking hot today. Bleh.

** No Bible study tonight because our teacher (who, along with her husband, is who we were on the cruise with) left on vacation again...THE DAY AFTER WE GOT HOME FROM THE CRUISE! Back-to-back vacations. Must be nice.

** Heard powdered collagen mixed into a drink is good stuff and really helps hair, skin, nails, and joints. I bought some yesterday. I'll let you know.

** Watched the most recent AGT on demand last night. The opera singing knife act?? Really? They were entertaining, but so were so many of the other much better acts that were sent home. Fatherhood has really softened Simon.

** Tonight is our local police force's Lights Out night. I believe it's a national thing...a sort of party where kids can meet the police and first responders. There are games, basket raffles, food, a demonstration by the K-9's and kids can see fire trucks, police vehicles, ambulances, helicopters, etc. up close and personal. If it's not too hot I'm thinking about taking Colton.

** A huge wasp nest sprang up above our front door since we've been home. Tim noticed it last night and promptly went to the hardware store for 2 cans of spray. He used both on it. We're waiting to see if it worked so we can get the nest down.

Now it's off to the DMV. Fun, fun, fun.

Have a great Tuesday!
