fresh pea soup

I got some spring pea soup from the farmers market and tried it and thought it needed a bit more pea to thicken it. I also baked a butternut squash to add to the one I bought. Now it's too thick. I need to add a bit of broth. Anyway, yesterday morning I knocked the pea soup container off the shelf in the frig and it spilled all over the rug and the floor and me. All before school. Not the way I want to start the morning. I feel the same way when Lacy barfs.

Today is the first day of testing and mostly the library is closed.

On Fri. I am going to see a lawyer for my free consultation about my workers comp claim.

I found out I can get unemployment. I also can get Cobra but I am covered through August. Then the school district pays $365. a month for the medical and I pay a slight fee to Kaiser then for delta dental and the vision plan. I went and bought another pair of glasses on Sat. so I could claim it on my flex plan. Perhaps I should have waited until Oct when I could take 200 off my frames. They cost in the neighborhood of 600.

It seems the heat we had here has headed East. It was in the 90's and one day we had the humidity too.

My back really still hurt from Fri.,still Sat, Sun and Mon. Now it's a bit better and we got another pallet of science books. Then come the math books. Followed by returning text books. I got all the ESL dictionaries and workbooks cataloged and the kids shelved them. I used my asparagus rubber bands because the ones we had were too flimsy and popped.
