It's been another gorgeous day here. We so hope the trend continues for a while. The furnace ran for a little while when we first got up but by mid afternoon it was in the 80s again and sunny.
This morning we were up early, but didn't get moving until mid morning. I caught up on some "business" stuff I needed to do on the computer. We got notification of a bill for our internet that is supposed to be on "seasonal hold" but they are billing me anyway. I had a chat with them. "Oh, someone put in the wrong code. My supervisor will have to fix it, but be assured it will be and you will see a credit on your next statement." Well, we shall see. I emailed the lady who facilitates the book club but have had no response, I got a haircut appointment, and I finally got a calendar for the month printed and posted on the fridge. It was a good thing I called the beauty salon now as the first appointment isn't until December first. They apparently stay very busy with the snowbird ladies. It turned out to be a pretty productive morning.
After lunch I did go to the water exercise class. There were about fifteen ladies there. It was a bit of a workout - the resistance from the water is more than I had thought it would be. I had two-left-feet most of the time, but that's ok, because no one can see you are out of sync since you are in the water! I love that part! The big problem I had, though, was my bathing suit. I spent half the time trying to do an exercise while holding down my floating suit. My suit is a two piece - skirt and blouson top. If I ever have to wear one it is a pretty good one for covering up and that is why I bought it years ago. I don't think it's even been wet until today. It is awful for actually being in the water. The bottom kept trying to slide down and at the same time the skirt part floated up and the blouson top floated all the way up to the bra part. At one point I had a bunch of skin showing and bathing suit material floating all around me. It was a bit embarrassing, but, hey, it was just a bunch of old ladies like me only they knew better and wore one piece suits. I am hoping to get into town (Casa Grande) this weekend and look for a one piece that will allow me to do the exercises and not worry about my swimwear. It's going to be a fun class, I think, and I felt like I did some exercise - scale of 6 out of 10 - but, I can foresee how cold it might be when the temperatures drop. May have to be a fair weather pool exerciser.
Rog had a grumpy face this afternoon - he wants in the wood shop so badly but can't use it until he checks in with the head guy who isn't here yet. Apparently he has to sign some safety waiver, pay his fee and collect a key. He keeps seeing guys in there, but they have their keys from last year. He was able to check it out, though, and they have nice power tools but only a few old and rusty hand tools. He recently has been doing only work with hand tools so is a bit disappointed in the availability of what he needs to work on his projects. Of course he didn't bring any of his with him, so Amazon will be dropping planes and saws off regularly here in the next month as he stocks up. That will give him a set at home and a set here since we will have the shed for storage and a small work area for him to work. It's a good thing he's been saving his allowance!
Laundry again today after the exercise class. I didn't do sheets/towels on Monday - just all the clothes we had used since we left home. Looks like Friday afternoon is the time to go - didn't see a single soul.
A friend gifted me with a "potato bag." It's designed to bake a potato in the micro and have it taste almost "oven baked." I used it for the first time tonight. It worked well and the potato was done after only one "potato" session on the micro. At home it usually takes two and then one part of the spud is inedible. To my friend - Thank You!
As I said, we hope to go into Casa Grande tomorrow - groceries, patio furniture/gazebo, and a bathing suit!
