Mrs. wonder slept pretty well last night. No real pain, so hopefully things are on the upswing. I let her wear my Fitbit and she got really solid sleep.

On the other hand, I did not. Got up at 1:30 and was up till almost 4, but then slept from four till around 6:30, so not too bad.

I’m off to Hartford this afternoon, Boston on Wednesday and then I swing back to New York on Thursday. I may come home Wednesday night and just take the bus in for Thursday.

That northeast corridor. You're a better man than I.

My dogs are all very placid so generally don’t indulge in even a nip although it’s not unheard of.

Yeah they are good good boys... but that would have tested me..... but they know you will protect them and step in....

quick catch up...
Thunder is a rumblin' here... forecast says heavy rain w/in the hour
Breaking News: w/in the hour my ... I can hear it hitting the roof as I type
how's Monday treating folks today?

How come I never find the fancy porta-potties?!????

Right? Plus I try to avoid them whenever possible, so I'm probably spending my time looking for a clean-ish fast food or gas station option instead.

I'm glad you're feeling better, W! Please try to take it easy this week.

I've seen your schedule - nearly impossible to take it easy unless the company is providing you car service?? Try to build in some time for R&R if you can.

Lol - looks like I missed everyone

In some ways I think Australia-US is more difficult that UK/Europe-US with the time zones.
But there's always the 3am Club

I'm afraid of heights, too! I just thought the picture was kind of dreamy. IDK if I could sleep in a room cantilevered out there like that!

I agree - dreamy photo but it's a "no" from me. It's not just being dangled like bait off the side of a cliff, but I looked at some, like the cliff hotel in China, and it's also the access to the room. Nope!

Note- I get a recliner which my late wife hated. But I need it to sleep in sometimes to help with sinuses. And it’s comfortable

I love a good recliner. Have heard from so many people that they are an excellent option for sleep when dealing with things like sinus issues, recovery from surgery, etc.
I hope it really helps with your sleep, too!!

Really hope this means Mrs. W has turned the corner
You're next, right?
Your work schedule this week sounds grueling
Hope you find time to relax in there somewhere

Got an electric issue with the well so no water
Got a guy coming in a few hours
It’s a pain in the ass
Got some water in garbage cans to water the critters

Oh no! And you're out in a hot, dry area, aren't you?
Sure hope you have enough water to last until the fix

That northeast corridor. You're a better man than I.

Right? I hear nothing but horror stories since I 'erm... well... traveled through myself earlier this year

I like coffee
I like bourbon
I don't like bourbon in my coffee or coffee in my bourbon

Still on the journey.... we won't be home til.tomorrow.... I can't drive all those hours....

*Jumping on the bandwagon*
Be safe - take your time - and if you're driving through this rain? You have Full Permission to pull over and wait it out!!

Got our pump fixed
Cheap fix just an electric problem

So happy for you and all your animals!!
Bonus that it was a cheap fix, too
Really hoping no one went thirsty waiting on the fix

Oh there are moments, much better for me than uk, they are usually going to bed in our mornings

So, I'm getting ready to wind down for bed and you're, what? Getting ready for lunch?
Glad there are moments for connection - even with our clocks being so far apart.

Someone was busy! I love it.

Good balance. Laid back Saturday and an industrious Sunday!

Hope you feel ok tomrrow!

I felt OK today but definitely ran out of steam during my errand run! And I had things to do at home! Laundry to wash my gym clothes do I don't have to show up there nakey. And I baked a cake for my trainer. It's a pancake cake! This is the recipe I used. I only have a 15 inch cast iron skillet so I doubled the recipe and made a few tweaks:

This is how it turned out:
