Having just crossed the 1 month in, 2 months to go: Summer … my least favorite season … we also had our first 90F day. BUT, 90F in town, 88F at my house and with a humidity of 27%, NOAA says the heat index is only 85F. Whatever, it feels hot to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But, I set up A\/C #2 yesterday morning. Test run yesterday and all is well so today we are very cool!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, on Sunday, pickles DID happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Monday morning dills to the left, Sunday sweet and spicy to the right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “sweet and spicy”! The dill did happen early Monday morning. To date, 2 batches of dill and 1 of sweet and spicy. More to happen this coming weekend and I have a new steam canner to hopefully streamline the process a bit. I really enjoy preserving. I think I rebelled at the process as a child and then did not do any until the last several years. I like the process as well as opening a cupboard and seeing jars of food that I like, that is preserved from a local source. I also freeze and ferment. It is especially meaningful in the current uncertain time, to know that I have good food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food insecurity is part of our current time. Even before Covid-19, but much more now, per my reading. If you have food and resources, consider looking into your local food bank or online organizations to share whatever you have extra. I am thankful for every good meal that I have and I have GREAT meals: healthy and delicious. I do not take my meals for granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing topics: productivity! So far, I have continued on my productivity streak: yard, house, paperwork, cooking\/baking\/food preserving and WORK! All while getting out with Auggie and Emmett, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, in the work arena:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go big or go home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, a week ago Tuesday, I was troubleshooting a bit of code that was working in one place, but not another … well, that’s what it seemed like. As I was trying to see what was different\/wrong, I got frustrated trying to set up windows of code and corresponding windows of the user interface. I got as far as I could and then called on a work partner for help. He would be available in 15-20-30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my frustration, I said to myself: “if I had a bigger monitor…” In 15 minutes, I went to the Dell site (my monitor source), found a very WIDE monitor on sale and bought it! It arrived last Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am very happy. I can fit 3 “screens” across and 2 up and down. It is a curved 34 inch diagonal monitor. I like the way it looks as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the heat of Summer, we are out and about as much as we can be … early in the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are all about JOY. And gratitude. And giving to others. And trying (not always successfully) to not be angry about other’s choices …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is Wednesday evening. We are on the downhill run to another weekend!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy, happy to all to who visit here!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
