(Cathy) that's a lot to happen at once.
I've cuop and have a lot of replies swirling in my head. We'll see what I remember.
I often go around in my house, dressed in my "duster" with snaps down the front and my hair in curlers. I do feel like I've taken special effort to take care of "me" when I do that after a nice shower/shampoo. I have always worn those dusters. I have 2 in my closet. When it's cold I use the wrap-around warmer ones.
My house feels like a McMansion when I begin cleaning it. I have separate dining room, living room, family room, big eat-in kitchen, master bedroom, 3 bathrooms, 3 other bedrooms (1 is the office) and 2 outside porches. Laundry room and garage which right now is in need of a huge clean. I really can't even clean it all in one day like I used to.
My kitchen looks pretty good after all my work in there Saturday.
Twins, I'm hoping you aren't coming down with that flu. And hoping
Donna is feeling better.
I'm trying to be careful of germs but one can only do so much. DH is oblivious to germs...
Last night was small group and I took my 2 pies which I baked Sunday morning. You'd have thought I'd taken 2 plates of gold to give out. Maybe no one does homemade pies any more? Every single person thanked me for them. One lady wanted to know how I got the cherries so delicious. Told her I made the crusts myself but the fillings were out of cans!
Dee, I've driven by the Port of Tampa once and was
at the big ships there. I tend to think of Tampa as a big city, and forget it is by a bay into the Gulf.
Sat. night before I got into my pj's and duster, I colored my hair. Not because I was tired of the grey, but thought it might give it some more body (which coloring does).
Lilac, I think it makes me look a bit younger too. I'm not fooling anybody because I don't color that often and everybody knows I have some grey.
Kathryn, we have a distant relative who married a native Australian. DMom told me this, she used to write to a couple distant relatives who told her about this.
Sunny might know more about this than I remember. I'm pretty sure the relative is gone now.
Last 3 days of the month now. I wrote payroll check and did taxes for this month. Worked on the checkbook. I need to consider if I want to try the new excel spreadsheet starting in Jan '18 or do I just want to copy the older version '17 to use this year. I suppose I could try the new one and if it's too difficult go back to the older version. This new stuff is getting a little easier to use, thank goodness. DH is still lost with a bunch of it.
Next up: find receipt and take 2 heavy bags back to HD and stop at WM for some groceries: salad fixins, chicken, and milk.
I had a lite bulb moment salsa is veg.! 
Done! These were my Monday missions!
Sun came out walk dog done.
A hot-curler clip in the middle holds the towel onto the handle, easy-clean and relatively heat resistant. Takes just a second to remove the towel or put it back. I know there are cute ways to sew or stitch a topper for a half-towel to hang onto a handle, and one of these days, I'm going to have time to make one of those... ...
