What kind of glove, Blessed?

I'm now working on year 2015 for church reports. Missing a few that I'm going to print off now.

I have orange rolls in the oven. H just called and is on his way.
Thanks for saying that Blessed. I have seen those gloves but on a sewing show.
KidN is singing and coloring mow, she just did sidewalk art a bit ago.
I got the hallway to the basement dusted, one more room to do the office, maybe tomorrow. Time will tell. I was able to walk around the block yea!

Home from WW. 1.5 lb loss. After weeks of just barely hanging on, I feel like I'm finally back in the groove. I am enjoying WW meetings so much. It isn't a large meeting, usually about a dozen people. If it was a large group we might not be able to be so welcoming and chatty. We have an informal chatting time sharing what worked, what didn't and tips for about 30 minutes. The actual meeting is another 30 minutes. The time just seems to fly by. Two of my DFriends joined WW tonight and they seemed to feel comfortable with the group.

DS9 stayed with DMom for several hours today. He was so pleased with how much he was able to help her. He completely weeded her vegetable garden and spread mulch for her.

That is great, that ds9 was able to help your dmom so much, LadyM!
WTG on weight loss, too!

Dgd sees a rheumatologist tomorrow at Big City children's hospital. I know this has to be scary for ds and ddil -- it is to me! -- although he says it's not. Their pediatrician has been wonderful about keeping them calm and focusing on positive prognosis.

Lucylee: I'd be scared so I understand how you are feeling.

Dh and I really enjoyed our tv show with our dinner. He was laughing so hard, I had to pause the video for a few minutes. Dinner was very good.

After dinner we went for a walk. It is raining now but it was quite nice then so I'm glad we got out.

I've managed to get the minutes and a newsletter written and sent. I hate sending mass emails. Now I'm getting the bounce backs. Sigh...

We'll get to bed at a reasonable hour, which dh will appreciate.

But first I have to email dd. (note to self, her name isn't really dd so when you enter that in the address line of an email, nothing comes up!)

I actually got "most" of the dishes done after supper. There is still one thing to do, plus a cutting board. No room on the drying rack. Already decided on supper for tomorrow night. Spaghetti and meat sauce.

[blessedw2]

goodnight all

dishes are washing themselves to sleep

d lucy i will b thinking of your ds ddil and sweet little one tomorrow

Hello, villagers ~
I'm thankful that DH and I were able to go up to DSis's after I got off work on Saturday. All of DSis's grandchildren brought their Halloween costumes so we could do Trick or Treat in her yard. DMom was feeling very well and enjoyed seeing so many great-grandchildren at once. We had sloppy joes and a few salads for supper. I was really tired from working all day so we didn't stay late. It was a wonderful visit.

I think that was the last time things went according to plan. Monday at work we had so many people coming in that I couldn't do the side project the boss asked me to do. Today staff meeting ran long and that threw off the rest of my afternoon. Why do I even try to plan anyway? I guess if I didn't try to plan anything, the weeks would get even crazier.

I've been planning to go to the fall sewing retreat this Thursday-Friday-Saturday, coming home to sleep the nights between. I knew there was no chance to get out of work Thursday, but that's ok because I'm not in charge of the retreat this time. My plan is to go Thursday morning to help set up the tables/chairs and haul in my sewing machine and supplies. If all goes well, I'll be able to sew a little before I have to leave for work. Then it will all be there ready for me to spend all of Friday and Saturday playing with fabrics. That's the plan.

I had also planned to spend all of tomorrow at home getting ready for retreat. I wanted to cut out my projects to be ready to sew, and organize the tools/supplies to only take what I need for those projects, not haul a bunch of extra stuff. I wanted to get the laundry and dishes caught up, and maybe even declutter another small section of the kitchen.

It was a lovely, relaxed plan.
Too bad that at staff meeting today I was asked if I can work a 6 hour shift tomorrow.

Sigh. I can still get all the chores done and pack my sewing stuff, I've done it many times over the past few years.
I just won't be as neatly organized and relaxed as I'd hoped to be.
It's the familiar story of my life.
