Hey Cherries. Chilly morning we went down to 55. 63 right now headed for 74. I have an appointment today and have to stop at Home Depot on the way home. And will continue to work on getting my Graphic Design Challenge up when I get home.
Have a great day Cherries.

Sounds like a fun / productive day! I'm loving this weather! The baseball season is winding down - the last home game is on 9/22 (unless we make the playoffs, which still remains to be seen). I'm working today and then the weekend. I'm already tired lol. I'm trying to tie up some freelance loose ends this morning and kind of take it easy the rest of the day. DD has class at school at 5pm so I will be leaving for work before she leaves for school. I'm working on a layout now and putting together the monthly challenges list.

Another hot quiet day here too. Yesterday afternoon I foiled card fronts for bday, autumn, Halloween and Christmas. Also picked out shadow layer colors and cut those out. Today putting the Christmas ones together and doing greetings. If I can do all the ones I foiled yesterday then added to regular cards I did last week, I’ll have Christmas about 3/4 done. Good project for a 100 degree temp day!!
That’s about it except cleaning out freezer. Cleaned fridge yesterday. Very hot weather makes for dull old women. lol
Have an enjoyable Tuesday

OMGoodness! That sounds soooooooo heavenly! I'm melting down here and if I had that kind of chill weather I'd flat out dance naked outside to cool off!

Hello cherries. Wow...already passed noon here. I've had a really stressful morning and boy am I glad that I don't physically work with pooples. I knew it was going to start stressful as there has been some...changes...going on with my client's IT providers. Her current one for the last 7 years is a total waste of technological space and they get a big fat 'ol middle finger DAILY. Not just from me but from everyone. She informed me back in May that she was on the search for a new one. Cool beans. Good riddance!
Last Friday, my client informed me and her supervisors that she got a new IT provider and the "switch" will start "sometime this week". They would wait until Sept 3rd to start the process, wrapping things up by the 6th. Makes sense because you're flat out stupid if you choose to switch over during a long weekend. I still needed to verify that her email reminder system was working properly. I always log in first thing in the morning to just make sure. Every day. Well, I logged on on Saturday and my user name/password was invalid. WTH. Weird...didn't worry too much about it since it was the weekend. Tried again on Sunday and Monday. I also noticed that the emails stopped going out to staff on Sunday afternoon. Hhhmm...wonder what happened. So I checked again first thing today and still nada. So I email my client, and she puts me in touch with her new IT peoples. (1) the computer that runs the email reminder system isn't listed on their list of machines that previous provider gave them
![Mad :greenmad:](./images/smilies/smilegreen_mad_16.png)
and (2) found out that previous provider shut down access on Friday!
![Mad :greenmad:](./images/smilies/smilegreen_mad_16.png)
DUDES!!! That is not how that works!! You give the new people access and then once they got it up and running on their end, THEN you shut down YOUR access. OMFG!
See, that is why she got rid of her previous IT people. They are sooo incompetent, it's not even funny. So now the new IT dude in charge is trying to track down everything I NEED. UGH....Not mad at the new IT people at all...well..not yet..but I'll definetly give them a chance. But wow....
And then on top of this mess, of course her users need help with stuff so I'm doing that. Then I called my optometrist to schedule my annual vision exam, then moved on to my gyno for that annual exam. The latter though...I think their phone lines are down as I kept getting "call cannot go through. try again." I verified that I do have the right number (you never know...I could have had a number wrong). But no, got it right. I tried 3 more times, but nothing. I then emailed the receptionist just to say they need to call me so I can get that scheduled. Oy!
Anywho....thanks for letting me rant. On to putting together my bingo boards and send them off.
Hope y'all have a great day.

Oh Brandy! You had two weeks that were so nice and quiet! Sounds like this week is making up for those two weeks! I hope they get everything set up and working right soon! At least it’s looking like this group is better than the last one… {{{HUGS}}}

Hi Cherries! I’m just getting up today. It’s just after 10 here. I woke up yesterday feeling a bit icky and finally around 2 I laid down thinking I’d just rest for a bit. I ended up sleeping almost straight through till almost 7:30!!! I got up once or twice and slept through the night! Feeling better today but I’m definitely fighting something off.
We got almost 2 inches of rain over the weekend and another inch predicted for Thursday so I’ll definitely be doing a load of laundry here today. Yayay!!! No laundromat!!! Lol!
Not sure what I’ll manage today. Need to pay bills and set up a new account for Steve at the other clinic. Hopefully I can manage some scrappy time too.
Have a great day!!!

I've had a busy morning and now need to stop for some lunch before I have PT at 1:30. Finished up my laundry from going camping. Last load in the dryer. I went and got some groceries. Just paid my bills. and finished for now.
Need to get the grandson after PT. And Curtis needs to empty the tanks on the camper. He will take the grandson to help him.
It is still super hot here. Headed close to 90F today and last night it didn't even cool off. It was still 70ish when I got up a little after 6am. And boy is it smokey out. Making my poor eyes just burn.
Anyhoo hope everyone is doing well on this Sept. day.

No. I use deco foil and a laminator. Much easier. Most of my foiling stuff and the laminator is Gina K. She works with therm-o-web. They sell a lot of her stuff here too.
