A pretty full day.  But I was able to work in a little work too.  (ha ha)  I did get up before Sheila left this morning.  And overcoming my desire to go back to sleep I got dressed and started my day.  Along about 8:30 a.m. Nicholas showed to do some yard work for his grandmother.  I decided to take advantage of his put- put truck to do some errands before Richard got to the office.  It was a  good trip and I was able to set Richard up with enough work to make his daily ration.  It also kept me pretty busy until Sheila got home about 1:30 p.m.  Nicholas worked for a couple of hours and left about 11:30 a.,. for a luncheon day (with a young lade I'm guessing) Sheila expected to get here and find the Water's Edge guys working on the pond.  I told her that there was a call that they would not be able to make it today but when she called she was told that their roadblock had been taken care of and they were on their way.  So our pond did get its annual cleaning and it went pretty quickly and later I finished filling it back up while I was playing with my grandson, Colton, out on the patio.  When I made him come inside he decided not to like me because he wanted to stay outside and play. Shelli and Phil had a doctor they needed to visit so we had the kangaroos here for a while.  Sheila decided that pizza was the best choice, so that's what we had for dinner.  Last night she fixed me fish and scallops with coleslaw.  And a few night ago she fixed me ham and creamed peas and potatoes.  Tomorrow night we'll be at a dinner get-together for Doug and Lynnette before they're off on their mission president gig.  It will be at Rafael's (Mexican food).  I'm feeling like I should have done more today.  That is not an unusual feeling for me.  In fact, my 'pondering ring on my pinky finger to remember idea' is all about that, and where and how we hold ourselves to some invisible standard that sometimes makes us feel bad when we ought to be kinder to ourselves and not be our own worst critic and sometimes be our own best cheerleader instead.  (That is my current subject I am pondering---heavy isn't it?)  (Any thoughts on the matter?)
