I've tried to load my printer on this laptop. Hoping I have it now. Took a little nap.

Dh has called me at least three times today. He's gone shopping 2 days in a row and has managed to spend over $200 for groceries. REALLY? He now knows who will be working with him and his hours will be lowered. He knows the other guy as he's been there to do electrical work with dh. This guy will be the 'boss' and dh is okay with that.

Campground manager called today to tell dd they had a site available but it's way on the other side of the park -which she and dsonil really don't want.

Have to go help dd with our dinner. We're not really cooking all that much for just us. In fact we don't have anything planned for Easter dinner. Found out yesterday that dbil/dsisil are going to friends of theirs for dinner. Was glad to hear that as we hadn't planned to have dinner.

Thanks for all the 'welcome backs'. At least I know I can come on here for this site. Yay!!

dearest twins sending you a big hug. ((())) loss is so overwhelming and having other worries with your d mom does make one which they could get off the world just a bit (shutting down))) I am glad you doing your genealogy while everything has been difficult. just do what you feel - the next right thing for you. I am so sorry that your d friend's loss of her d mom. It sounds like a good plan - doing three at a time - so it is not overwhelming. Be kind to yourself (())

dd said she is getting ready for dinner (she took a quick nap on the beach - more like closing her eyes). i think taking a shower will make her feel better.
mom hasn't spoken to her yet. I hope they will work it out - d mom loves dd younger - dd knows that. Hopefully d mom will be less stressed tonight and just enjoys the company she is in right now.

I did 15 minutes of a home blessing in the front room/living room - vacuumed, swiffer fluffy duster, feather duster for lamps, rinse floor with swiffer, cleaned glass coffee table.

did 3 x 15 wallpaper removal in front room/living room.

what's left on this heavy cleaning day/anti-procrastination day
dinner
vacuum kitchen floor and swiffer rinse
taking the paper off the 2 doors - anti procrastination thing.
flip flop laundry
tomorrow is errand day. dh will pick up my cleaning on Friday (I hope)
noticed the hall and dining room and family room needed a quick surface vacuuming - did it - not great - but enough.
I am not going to be able to bake today because it ended up being a heavy cleaning day.

took care of the stickers that were on the doors - I can''t tell you how many years those have been there but it is done
my whites were finally enough to wash - washing now

Twins... just be kind to yourself. No one says you have to push it but yourself. Taking care of your mom is mentally exhausting. Do some things nice for yourself even if it means taking yourself out for a nice lunch. The stress you’re feeling take time to work through.

Lucylee no one says you can’t cook a dinner for yourself as you cook for your dh. I do it all the time because Sweetie wants the same basics all the time. Make spaghetti for yourself, it’s easy and eat your meal along with your dh. I eat different from Sweetie 5 out of 7 times in a week. Usually a different meat, sometimes we share the same vegetables or salad.

I received the best self journal for dd younger.

So glad you like it bw2! The planning pages, and taking things in 13 week chunks are great!

I finished s2s but now feel more than a little queasy. I thought it was blood sugar so I ate an apple and hummus and I'm not sure that helped. Now I'm not sure whether to go see dmom or not.

I have not wanred to go to the store just got 2 things yesterday. Tosay did 15 min. I the front yard thinking I should dig out 2 Canadian thistles and transplant a daff. Tried last year but it was too close to the fence this year I was more careful and got it out and moved agere I can see it tossed one more piece of wood out glad I did got to see my tulips in bloom that was a surprise! These were my anti p. Tasks.

Baked brownies and ch. Cherry cobbler for h. Lunches. Some days h has clam chowder, I am not a fan of that so I have something else for dinner.

Rose, I hate to eat something he likes so well though, knowing he’s not supposed to have it!

I didn’t do 15 min n the zone OR weeklies, either. I have just Ben a slug today. A clean, s2s slug, but a slug nonetheless.

(((Twins))) You are definitely in a stage of life where YOU should be a priority. With all you’ve been through and all you are still facing, any minute you can be kind to yourself, you should. No guilt.
