Elizabeth - that is a wonderful gift idea! I did consider asked DMIL to make me the same thing that DH requests for his birthday. However, this year DMIL got overwhelmed & stressed out when she made DH birthday gift. She forgot to put the primary ingredient in it and was embarrassed. We told it tasted wonderful anyway! I made the decision at that time to quit asking for cooked things as a gift. DMIL struggles to stand for more than a few minutes without consequences (feet swelling) and her short-term memory comes and goes. We are edging closer and closer to DMIL not preparing food items.

DMom has called twice this morning. The second time she was in tears. I will leave in 30 minutes to take DMom to Doctor. Thankfully they had an opening from a cancellation.

Homeschool this morning with DS10 was a dream. If only every homeschool day could go this smoothly. DS10 was focused and eager to get his work done. He did not hurry through it but thoughtfully gave his best effort. Both of us are way past thrilled to have a day like today. 8am - Noon = 4 hours of solid school work accomplished. Dream Stuff....but it really happened!!

Hope LadyM's dmom feels better.

I have stayed home for one visitor re: picking up check, and then traveled out for one delivery re : check to another who has tummy upset from arthur meds she thinks (she hopes that's all?), and put 2 church things in mail.

Sooooo careful. Virtually no human contact - outdoors while saying hello-goodbye to each and handing off envelopes. Now just wishing I could receive offering so maybe I could make deposit before end of month. But if not it's okay - I understand that I am to be avoided!

I handled all the trash and recyclables - a good solitude chore for a homemaker in self-quarantine!

Hi,all! Back here, recovered from recent excitements.

Those few days I spent with extreme tiredness, I was getting some sort of headache. Funny place, right behind my ears (definitely NOT my ears). I was wondering if my glasses earpieces were too tight. But it wasn't, didn't seem to make any difference when I took the glasses off.

So after DD and friend got back here Saturday around noon and we visited for a while, we saw them off, dogs and all. I guess I was stressed and I ended up sleeping all afternoon and half the evening. But today I am feeling good again.

I did get a bunch done today. Took lunch (he forgot it) and a tool over to DH and went to a couple banks and supermarket. Got 1 LOL washed and hung up, all the desk chores done including my big monthly statement, all the groceries put away. Oh, kitchen all cleaned up, Dishwasher run and unloaded, coffeepot recharged. So all is in good shape here. I've washed all the extra towels too.

I'm very well aware of that community in Pittsburgh and the demographics up there. Kept thinking about Twins. Just hard to fathom such thinking.

Ok, I'm off to see about dinner now.

I made it back in time to pick up DGD7 from school. DH was on standby in case I couldn't make it. DH was working with the generator fella running new lines but he said he would stop and go get DGD7 if needed.

DMom left the doctor office pleased with the appointment. I drove 24 miles (one way) after her appointment to pick up prescription ......only to find out the insurance company is requiring a separate authorization. The pharmacy said it typically takes 24 hours to get the authorization. Grrrrrr.... so I'll go again tomorrow and pick the prescription up. I'll take DMom to 3 more appointments next week.

I just wrote and deleted some things about the challenges of dealing with DMom outspoken ways. Some things are better left unsaid.

This morning I made a meatloaf and baked potatoes while monitoring DS10 school work. It was such a relief to walk into the house tonight and have a good meal ready to eat.

I've listened to DGD7 read (homework) and signed her school papers.

I have been on the go continually for the past 11 hours. I'm ready to take a break.
