CVS Balance Points: today is the final day

Yeah, I can definitely take a look at that over the weekend. I wasn't sure if we'd have time before Thursday but I think it'll work out.

To be honest, I completely forgot about the notes I left on the kitchen counter. Sorry about that. Let me grab them later tonight.

In other news, the walk we took along the river was really nice. I'd love to do that route again soon. Weather said it might clear up in the afternoon.

Anyway, hope your Tuesday is going smoothly so far. Let me know what time works for you on Saturday.

Oh and did you ever figure out the right time for the team lunch? I was thinking we could try that new place near the corner.

No rush on the reply, I know today is packed. Just wanted to touch base before things get too busy tomorrow morning.

By the way, thanks again for your help with the project notes. It really made a difference on my end.

Today is the last day for your CVS ExtraCare balance

I was just thinking about how our neighbor rearranged the entire living room last weekend and honestly it made the space feel twice as bright.
They moved the big fern into the corner by the window, and now the whole place feels different.
It is funny how something so small can change the whole mood of a room.
We might try something similar once the weather cools down a bit.

I finally got around to backing up all the old photos from that road trip last summer.
There were way too many blurry shots of gas station signs, but a few of the sunset ones are actually pretty great.
Might frame one for the hallway if I can pick just one.
Either way, good to have them all in one place finally.

Today, convert those expiring Kroger points, thanks

Yeah I totally get what you mean about the scheduling thing - honestly I just shifted my whole approach to blocking out two afternoons a week for deep focus work.
It sounds kind of rigid when you say it out loud, but it actually made my calendar way more flexible in the long run.
The other thing that really helped was turning off almost every notification on my phone except calls and messages from a few specific people.
My old system was just too reactive, like I was bouncing between tasks constantly and never actually finishing a thought.
A buddy of mine swears by keeping a paper notebook for his daily top three list, just to keep the priorities visible without adding screen time.
I tried a few different digital tools but honestly the simplest approach seems to stick better for me.
Let me know how the experiment goes on your end - always curious what actually works for different brains and setups.
Anyway, no pressure to reply quickly, I just wanted to share what shifted things for me recently.

So I was thinking about what you said the other day regarding the team structure and how we split up the work.
Honestly I think the real issue isn't the number of people but how the handoffs happen between stages.
When one person finishes a part and just tosses it over the wall without a quick sync, everything loses context.
I have seen teams do a five minute standup at the transition point and it completely eliminates the usual confusion.
Even a shared note with three bullet points about what changed and why makes a huge difference.
The other thing that helped me personally was keeping my own list of open questions in one doc instead of scattering them across chats.
That way when we do meet, I can go through everything in one pass and not forget the smaller details that end up mattering later.
Anyway, I don't want to overcomplicate it - mostly just trying to make sure we aren't working against each other by accident.
Happy to chat more whenever you have a free block, no rush on my end at all.
Hope your week is going better than last one sounded, that weather really didn't do anyone any favors around here.

AARP 2026 Update: Membership Changes

I met with Dana on Tuesday about the schedule overlap. She said the Tuesday slot works better for her now that her other class moved to Thursday. I told her I can keep Tuesday if we start at 2 instead of 1. That gives me time to finish the morning errands first. We agreed to try 2 PM next week and see if the room is free then. I checked the room sign-up sheet after, and nobody had it booked for that hour. I'll send her a reminder the day before so we do not miss each other again.

I changed the meeting time to 2 PM this week. I looked at my calendar and I had a conflict with the old 11 AM slot. I need to leave by noon for an appointment on Thursday, so I moved it later. I told Sam and Dana about the change over email yesterday. I am not sure if the new time works for everyone, but I think it is better than canceling. I will send a reminder tomorrow morning with the room number again. I might keep the 2 PM time for next week too if it goes well.

Yeah I finally got around to checking that message you sent last Tuesday. Sorry it took me so long.
The whole week just turned into one long meeting marathon and I fell behind on everything.
Anyway, I read through the notes and I think your idea is solid. Let me think about it more tonight.
I should be able to get back to you by Thursday morning with a real answer.
My kid had a school thing this afternoon so my evening got eaten up.
Talk soon. Hope your weekend actually felt like a weekend.

We've got you covered.

Just got back from the park with the kids and finally sitting down to reply.
That recipe you sent actually worked out really well, even though I messed up the timing on the first try.
We added a bit more garlic than it called for and it was better for it.
The weather turned cooler today, which honestly made the walk a lot more pleasant.
I still need to fix that squeaky hinge on the back gate, maybe this weekend.
Let me know if you still want to borrow the cooler for your trip.
No rush either way. Take care.

Your AARP account needs a quick review, 2026 membership updated

I have a meeting next Tuesday at 9 AM in the conference room near the front desk. We are going over the new schedule for June. I wrote down three questions about shift changes and overtime rules. Last month we started at 8:30 and ran late, so I plan to get there ten minutes early. I also decided to bring a printed copy of my schedule request instead of showing it on my phone. After the meeting I will stop by HR to confirm that my vacation days in July are still approved. That way I can fix any problems before the end of the week.

I met with Sarah on Tuesday to go over the schedule. We sat down for about forty minutes at the coffee shop near the office. The main thing we talked about was moving the project review from Friday to Thursday. I told her I would send the updated times by Wednesday morning. She said she needed to check with two other people before confirming. After the meeting, I wrote down the changes in my planner so I would not forget. I also called Tom to let him know the review might move a day earlier. He did not answer, so I left a message. I plan to follow up with him after lunch today.

Today only Walmart points shift to a 1OO card

Hey, I was going through my old notes yesterday and found that recipe you mentioned last month. I didn't realize it uses that much lemon zest but honestly it makes sense now that I think about it. We tried a version with orange instead and it was fine but not the same.

The rain finally let up over here so I spent most of the afternoon clearing out the planter boxes by the side door. The soil was still pretty damp but the weeds came out easy enough. I keep meaning to pick up some new mulch but every time I go to the store I forget until the drive back.

Speaking of forgetting things, did you ever get around to watching that documentary about the trains? I started it twice and fell asleep both times, not because it was boring but because it was so calm. The way they talk about the old rail lines makes me want to take a long trip somewhere without a plan.

Anyway, let me know what you think if you give the recipe another try.

I was thinking about what you said regarding the bird feeder placement. You were right that the squirrels find a way no matter what. I moved it again this morning, this time closer to the window but up on that hook we installed last autumn. So far the only visitor has been a sparrow.

I also reorganized the shelf near the back door. Found a small bag of bulbs I forgot to plant in the fall. They've started to sprout inside the bag, which feels like a small miracle or at least a very determined plant. I put them in a shallow dish with a little water and set them on the kitchen sill.

Did you ever finish that puzzle with all the lighthouses? I got stuck on the corner with the clouds for a full week. The pieces all look identical after a while. I ended up sorting by shape instead of color, which actually helped more than I expected.

Let me know if the new feeder spot works any better on your side.
