The Coffee House

Having a regular heat wave this morning, up to 19°F. Should start seeing temps moderate into the 40s this week though...along with clouds and rain moving in. Blech. Rain and 38°, my least favorite weather.

Yesterday was a bit of a bust in terms of my determination to start using Lightroom. I watched several segments of a Lightroom Crash Course video I have (which came with the software, a year ago), then confidently delved in. Made three ill-fated attempts to start importing photos from last year into the catalog. First two attempts were aborted by user error; the third time was going great until my computer suddenly decided to freeze up and force a restart.

Gave up. May try again this afternoon, but first--more coffee, then gotta get ready for church. Wondering how many of my little old ladies will actually show up in this cold (I teach Sunday School to women in their 70s and 80s).

It's Sunday, hosers. Teaching doesn't start next week, but prepping for the new semester does. And the week after next is when I get my teeth pulled :(

sounds fun!!!! Enjoy!!
 
Leonore, give yourself as easy a schedule as you can following the teeth extraction. Each of my daughters, and my mother have had this done, and discomfort varied from one day to a week. In all cases, after two weeks things were back to normal. The actual procedure is no-one's idea of fun, but then you wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't necessary. Good luck and you have our wishes for a blissful day or two after.
 
Thanks, Paul! The oral surgeon at the office I use only works one or two Wednesdays a month, so I have to do it on a Wednesday. Unfortunately, it's one of my teaching days, but I figured that I need to get it done soon and it's better to get a sub for the first day of class rather than in the middle of the semester. I also have Thursdays and Fridays off this semester, so my appointment is for Wed morning and I don't have to be anywhere until Monday.

I've got some soup in the freezer and I'll break that out on Tuesday, make sure it's blended nice and smooth. And I'll also be making some homemade pudding beforehand because lord knows I'm going to need some nice smooth comfort food! :)
 
Leonore, that's a good schedule. Oh, and don't forget to moan a little so that Buzz can have the excuse for spoiling you. ;)
 
Oh, he is so going to spoil me! I can totally do pathetic when I need to ;)
 
BRI_0543.webp BRI_0545_01.webp hey I thought of another good reason for post processing. I was just thinking I take way to many photos while I am driving. And taking photos while driving is bad enough but when you are doing it in manual with in camera adjustments I guess there is a point where it really isn't very safe. so shooting raw then post processing saves in camera adjustments and supports safe driving.

You know what else supports safe driving? Not taking any pictures ;)

well, sometimes I do pull over. But where is the challenge and fun in that? It is really fun when someone looks at you and you flash them (with the camera of course). They get the strangest most confused looks.
