Friday's Random Thoughts

[dalthauser]

*  I somehow lost my checkbook register, so I've been trying to piecing together transactions so I can figure out what I have in my account.  If I'd have kept my duplicates instead of throwing them away it would have been much easier.  What a mess.  When I finally find that register I'm going to be relieved, I know it's in the house somewhere - though I'm wondering at this point whether it got put in the trash (because - seriously - I've looked EVERYWHERE).  Needless to say - from now on I'm saving my duplicates.

*  I volunteered for overtime Sunday (4 hours) which will help make up for the commissions I lost last month.  I have Saturday off as a vacation day, so it's no big deal.  Sundays suck though - average order $ are low and people who are calling are nuts.  I'm glad I don't work it as one of my normal days.  Sure do wish I could make what I make now doing something different - - - obviously I don't need it that bad or I'd actually be doing something about it, something to think about...... (I feel some positive manifestation sessions coming on)

*  I walked through the garden this morning to water.  Things are looking good.  Will take pictures tomorrow.

*  I ordered two Pluot trees to plant this winter.  They were $19.99 each, but with shipping ended up being $35 a piece.  I"m planting these for my mother who loves them.  I can take them or leave them, but am looking forward to making them a part of the homestead.  I"m going to plant them in my back yard in memory of Chi and Mo.  I'll need to get someone to teach me how to prune them though - I have no experience in that (my fig would benefit as well).

*  I created a sourdough starter this morning (first starter since I've lived here in Texas).  I'll need to coddle it for a few weeks to get it up to speed - then I'll can begin baking with it.

I really like online banking, it's so nice to be able to look it up at any time.

I love those sourdough bread starters. We were passing one around at work. It's delicious!

I had a good one going when I lived in Japan - tangy and full of personality. It's as much an art as a science. I'm experimenting with a "clean" one and also one I'm making from well water (just curious is all - it'll probably spoil, but I want to see what happens).

I've never heard of those kind of trees. Will you be posting a picture of them also?

Have a good weekend.

They are a cross between a Plum and an Apricot (mostly plum).

Now that is interesting.

Have a good weekend.
