Really don't want to leave it to the 'last minute'.I'm not quite the slug I was yesterday so I'm getting better. Was never really 'too' sick just under the radar. Think I finally figured it out last night. I always, always, always get to feeling a little 'punky' several days after my flu shot -I know, I know "you don't get the flu from a flu shot". No idea why, just do.
Think I'll go see our neighbor before she thinks I've disappeared. She knows, though, that I wasn't feeling particularly well.
Dpastor was supposed to come tonight for dinner, but that's been changed to Thursday. Worked better for me.
That is some thing special we do here that they do not do at school or the other granny's yet anyway. 
So we have to do that for a little while at least each time dgd is over here. 
She's a sweet lady and it's impossible to be jealous of her, really. She can't help that things have worked out to keep them so close to her and so far away from me. I do feel like I have a lot to offer, would love to "play school" and teach them, and keep thinking "if only they were close". But I also know that my extensive eldercare responsibilities are one reason ds and ddil decided ddil can't go back to away-from-home work. They DO live close, so if I were free, I could help them and provide some childcare time, but that's really not an option.
! This is Zone 3 week which for me is the attic & basement. Usually I work on one or the other depending on how hot/cold it is, but in the spring & fall I can bounce back & forth between both. Made a dent in the attic this morning, but got really sidetracked up there, too 
. That's where a lot of books are stored -- 'nuff said 
.
Dmom pretty much insisted -- said there was no way they could eat all of what had been delivered to them. They really have great friends. If I were in dmom's shoes, we'd probably be starving to death.
