I spent a lot of the night coughing and clearing my throat.
(((
Dee))) Hope you feel better soon. This is the thing dh has been dealing with seems like forever, but he finally does appear to be showing some improvement. And I'm doing the same thing to a lesser extent.
And (((LadyM))) -- I am so glad you are seeing some improvement yourself, and so glad you have taken today to rest and the dentist has "enforced" rest for tomorrow! Maybe a couple days of less activity will help you knock this thing out!
Sunny, WTG -- sounds like you are making good progress!
And WTG,
Harmony w/your pillow covers!
My dgd's middle name is Mae, also,
Rose! She goes by the double name, her first and middle together, and both names are from dh's grandmothers (one of whom he never knew.) I love using family names. DH had an aunt named Vera, also. Nice to see the meaning of that name -- certainly appropriate for his aunt, btw!
(((Willis)))
Dee -- I went to Wmart yesterday and was sooo upset with the whole thing. I hope I didn't already tell y'all this -- just scroll on through if this is a rerun...
Okay, remember the brick book -- photo book I was making of pics of houses my dgdad had worked on?
I finally finished it, I believe on Feb. 25, after MUCH stress b/c (1st) all my pages would not show up on the screen as I was working on them and (2nd) one page showed blank but it would not let me go to that page to edit. Both issues took chat time with support person to correct, and one had me waiting over 24 hours to be able to see the "fix."
So. It's finally finished and ordered... it says it will be at the store for pick-up on March 4. Her birthday was March 1, but whatever... I realized I was ordering late to get it in that soon.
They ALWAYS send an email when something is ready for pick-up or a notification on the app. March 4 arrives... nothing.
I look on the app and it says: "Processing Delayed, check back later."
BUT... then it says "track shipment" so I click there and it says "Delivered February 28."
Well, that would have been nice to know... but still no message or notification... so I wait until March 5, and call the store.
It takes THREE times to get anyone to even answer in the photo department, but yes, it was there.
I go pick it up and have to wait forever again, b/c some woman was having a dispute with the manager b/c her cd's weren't printed as she had ordered, her order was not on time, and the cashier the day before had promised her a discount -- but the manager knew nothing about it. I really wanted to see how that came out, but I had to pick up dgs at school -- so I interrupted and told her my order was paid for and I had just been told it was laying out awaiting my arrival. It took her a while to find it, even at that, and it WAS lying right on the counter...
I was just so aggravated.
At any rate, the book looks nice, and I hope dmom will be pleased with it. I haven't gotten it to her yet.
Hope you're feeling better,
Twins.
My washer is a top loader, but it is the High Efficiency kind, and it has a clean washer cycle. I put some powder in it and run it when I get the notification light on the control panel.
Y'all -- this is embarrassing -- I had the half-day for dgs on TWO calendars, and still forgot all about it. When I asked him why he didn't remind me, he said, "You already KNEW! You saw it last week when we were going to College Town!" That was true... smh...
OTOH -- ddil told me SHE had no idea it was a half day, so if she had been home, the school would have been calling her to pick him up.
* sigh * DS and DDIL do not do a lot of assistance or supervision re: dgs and his school work. If something HAS TO be turned in, they usually do get that done, but dgs is so super-smart that they take for granted (I think) that he knows everything. He told me he missed some spelling words last week b/c he was sounding them out and they had letters that could be either one of two -- like a
c or a
k.
IMHO, they should make a point of going through his backpack every night and going over any assignments, etc. But what do I know? I'm just the Nana...
I guess I have done pretty well for anti-procrastination... I s/s the other two bathrooms and vacuumed the study. When the antenna man was here, he went into the attic and the pull-down stairs are in the study. A LOT of dust and dirt fell out of the stairs when he was going up and down, so it was a mess. DH said he had stepped on a piece of hickory nut shell -- he asked if we had squirrels in the house? I told him we probably had one in the attic at some time.
