SHEs Organized

Bedrooms are back to rights. I didn't vacuum but I did rewash the floors. My throat is a bit swollen shut so obviously I was working in a lot of dust/fumes. It doesn't feel bad in there to me but I guess I'm a bad judge.

Posting without cuop -- just had to share. Remember how I was worried duncle would arrive "too" early this morning?

I set my alarm for 9:30 this morning, so that gave me about 6.5 hours sleep. Got up, d2s, went outside to walk while waiting on duncle to call.
and waited waited waited
waited waited
DH got up earlier than he meant to b/c my alarm had disturbed him...
Finally, I was just falling asleep reading the paper, and I said, "I have not had enough sleep, I'm going to sleep awhile and then take my shower."
DH said, "Go for it!" (He had already asked me to please don't get involved w/duncle again... "if he has a book you want, we will buy the book!")
Dmom woke me up at 1:00 pm on the phone (she was doing much better btw, and had taken herself to Captain D's drive thru.)
Talked to her a minute, got in the shower...
While I was in there, dh came in and held up the book. Said, "Duncle just left. Said don't lose this book."

NOW -- this is the part:
I looked at that book and I told dh --
"I think I have read that book. I think I already have a copy of that book."
ROFLOL... sure enough... went to the bookshelves -- there it was.

DH said, "Y'all don't need to talk anymore about your uncle's memory getting bad."

LOL. Found item of the day at my dmom's: Two large framed baby photos of a dcousin, born in 1941, a photo of dcousin born in 1959, a photo and report cards of their mother, my mother's sister. The kicker? They were in an oversized envelope in the covered back of pickup truck, purchased 1993, which my father drove, then mother drove, then dbro drove. Where did this stuff come from, and why was it in the truck?

Once this is over, I do not want to be a hoarder, or even close. My own things need to be cleaned out. I can't control what dh keeps, but I can try to get rid of as much c--p as possible.

I dumped the trash. Nearly time for the next round of hen chores. Sun is out it is 62* according to my tablet it is usually a little elevated. I dusted a bit in the main bath.

I was thinking on my walk how we are all fortunate with all the things we need to declutter and multiple bathrooms we have. At some point the "stuff" seems to be more of a blessing than a burden. I need tobrenew my commitiment to not leave a bunch of stuff for someone else to deal with after I am gone.

How ever this week I took off for doing other projects.

Twins: your mom put the photos into the truck, meaning to take them over to you when you started to be interested in genealogy. Then got distracted.

I don't even think about the family history project I'm dealing with by keeping it out of sight. That's the reason the spare bed is on risers to increase storage room in this apartment.

I'm not functioning well right now, too easily distracted.

Dinner is long over so time to work on the kitchen, including vacuuming again and moving that furniture back to where it belongs. Hopefully I have some fun podcasts to listen to while I work.

good night all

Another successful and productive day. I am feeling blessed.

My schedule for the day was followed almost perfectly......until I arrive home and found DS9 running 102 fever. I knew he was getting sick before I left but I had a small hope that it was just allergies.

7:30am - phone meeting
8:00 - Bible
8:15 - Math
9:15 - Reading
11:00 I left home to spend some time with DGS21. He made me lunch at his apartment then we went apartment hunting (his lease expires next month and he is considering other locations). We tried out a new coffee shop, hit a couple thrift stores, checked a couple stores in hopes to find an electronic device I'm considering buying, stopped by his phone carrier and he checked his options to trade phones and then did my list buying at Sam's. I arrive back home 6 hours later.

I have given DS9 Tylonel and had him gargle with salt water. That seems to be relieving his sore throat symptoms. I checked his throat but don't see anything red or white - everything looks to be the right color and not swollen. If he is still running a high fever tomorrow then I'll take him to a walk-in clinic to make sure he doesn't have strep. I have set up the humidifier in his room and will give him a second dose of Tylonel in another hour. Hopefully, his fever won't spike during the night.

I text DD and told her about DS9 because now DGD6 has been exposed to the germs. Whatever it is, there is a good chance DGD6 will come down with it too. DD will be picking DGD6 up in the morning. She offered to pick DGD6 up when she got off work at 2 am, but I opted to not do a middle-of-the-night pickup and let DGD6 sleep here all night. If DGD6 starts running a high fever then we will reevaluate this plan.

The guy who owns the car wash (MPB) called and basically begged DH to help him troubleshoot a problem. DH has been gone several hours doing that. I just hope DH stays off the 12' ladders. What he used to do years ago isn't something he should do now. IMHO
