Good Morning Thursday, February 19, 2015

Hello World,

Today is Teri L’s 12th AA Anniversary.  I remember when she walked into the Brown Bag for the first time.  She has remained a member of the BB I believe.  I have a little app on my phone that gives me reminders of AA anniversaries and when I wake up the notice is there so that is how I know.  You have to put in your friends and their anniversary dates but I think it’s a free app.  It’s called:

ODAAT App

ODAAT App

It also has the Big Book on it, Meditations, Friends, Prayers, Principals, Promises, Preamble, Settings, Meditation Settings, Maintenance and Problems.  It is really a cool app.

I just went to FB and saw this guy on Ellen DeGeneres Show:

Simon Pierro on Ellen

Simon Pierro on Ellen

What he does with an iPad is amazing.  I also found out that Ellen has her own TV thing too named “Ellentube”.  What – Really?????  Anyway, I shared it on my timeline too.  It’s really cool!  Every time I open something up on my laptop (or phone or anything) that makes noise – Domino freaks!  He bats at it and he walks all over the key board etc.  It really annoys him – so funny!

Last night I jumped out of bed with a huge cramp in my leg so I had to “walk it off” and while I was out in the kitchen walking it off, the smoke alarm went off!  It was a HUGE NOISE and very annoying, so this morning I got the ladder from the garage and climbed up to the shelf and disarmed it:

Smoke Alarm Unarmed

Smoke Alarm Unarmed

I’m sure the neighbors heard it!  And I just changed the battery.  So much for this smoke alarm – I think the cats are still skittish about it this morning!

It’s still cold in Naples:  48 this morning and not getting much higher than 57 today!  I’m definitely taking my sweatshirt to work today!  I was freezing all day yesterday.

48 today and not warming up

I really don’t like the cold, but it’s great for my electric bill.  I bet my bill won’t be much over $50 this month.  Gotta love that!

I’ve been “in training” all week at work that I didn’t know about so things are a little upside down for me this week.  It’s a new system for “admissions” and I think it’s going to be pretty cool, but a lot of it hasn’t got to do with our place at Orchid Terrace.  So I’m there in body but not in spirit.  I have a bunch of stuff I need to do and it’s not getting done.  I did get the schedule posted and that is a miracle.  I’ll find out today whether it’s ok or not.  Lots of people want the same time off – Spring Break – so it gets very difficult.  I wish they’d come up with some kind of decent software for our schedule.  It is such a pain to do.  The training has been frustrating because the equipment (computers) have been freezing up and not working.  The trainer is a little “annoying”, and I can’t be sure this is going to work or not.  The other thing is that our “caretracker” system that just got installed about a year ago is “going away”.  Now that is really a shame because it is pretty simple to use and it seems to be going well with our “computer phobic” partners – there are a LOT of them believe it or not and if this new system goes on line – it’s going to be difficult to manage.  Ugh!  Oh well……….this too shall pass.

Out of time today.  I hope everyone has a great day today!  Thanks for visiting!

My post on FB today!

Have a great day!

    I feel your pain regarding the schedule! The best thing about being the campground manager is I can delegate the work schedule to my Front Office Manager. All I have to do is approve it. But I served my time…I was Front Office Manager for 3 years. Do people really need days off??? Just kidding……

    Right now, I’m going to put Teri’s Anniversary date in my new app ODAAT. HA! Yes, I “tried” it and considered well worth the $1.99. So I also put it on “Little Bit” (another $1.99) It might save carrying those books everywhere I go. (I know yours is in July, Mary. But….what?)

    I wonder how many people would know how Simon Pierro pulled off that marvelous magic on his iPAD? Well… I sure don’t.
    Unfu***********able!!!

    Yup, those cramps. I get them sometimes–so bad I’d gladly accept on-the-spot death. HOWEVER Mary, when jumping around for relieve I never once in 81 years set off a fire alarm–grin! Did it make your cram go away? Might have a product there–retire, and let the alarms awaken the neighbors. Let’s see, at $45.00 a pop…hmmmm.

    Thank for the entertainment blog today, and for the alert.

      I laughed and laughed at your referral to setting off the fire alarm – still laughing! Thanks for starting my day off so well! My anni date is 7/22/2002. Yours is: 3/18/74 according to ODAAT.
