Wednesday on the Run PWYC

[lucylee]

Yes -- on the run here!
DH and I have been out and gone to the post office, then picked up the cake, ice cream, and some diet cokes for tonight.
I added some toy doctor-kit stuff to the decorations on the cake and finished signing her card, put some cash in it... (wrapped the book I'm giving her last night.)

Had a panic attack over the book -- I also bought this same book for dniece, med school grad. I thought it would be kinda a humorous look at all she and ddil are facing daily. https://www.target.com/p/the-sawbones-book-by-justin-mcelroy-sydnee-mcelroy-hardcover/-/A-53800829?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=bing_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&DFA=71700000012790841&CPNG=PLA_Entertainment%2BShopping%7CEntertainment_Ecomm_Hardlines&adgroup=SC_Entertainment&LID=700000001230728&LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&network=o&device=c&location=&targetid=pla-4585100929544169&ds_rl=1246978&ds_rl=1248099&ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=bing_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Entertainment%2BShopping%7CEntertainment_Ecomm_Hardlines&adgroup=SC_Entertainment&LID=700000001230728pbs&network=s&device=c&querystring=sawbones%20book&msclkid=c34497dcd5f41e485eacf740c96f5b6e&gclid=c34497dcd5f41e485eacf740c96f5b6e&gclsrc=3p.ds
I don't know if that url will work. I tried to shorten the address.
Nope -- didn't work -- how do y'all do those email links without making it take up a thousand lines???

Anyway -- I thought this morning, OH MY GOODNESS. This is just going to be like another textbook for them and this is ridiculous. In ddil's case, dgs will probably enjoy looking through some of the pictures and things, but in dniece's case, it's just something else to pack up and take to TX with her, and her mom TOLD me she just wanted money. But oh no, I couldn't listen. I not only got her THIS book, I bought her Dana Perino's book as well... Everything is Going to Be Okay/Advice for Young Women from a Former Young Woman. But now I am re-thinking this whole business and dh says NO WAY am I keeping the Sawbones book for myself, because I bought it for dniece and we do NOT need to give her any more money than we planned. Sheesh.

I still have to s/s the bathroom, order pizzas, send out an email for my teacher group, and make a quick round of the living areas of the house to make sure we're not too embarrassing for guests. Can y'all remember when I was using Old English polish on my back door in anticipation of dbil's girlfriend's first visit here? Boy. How the mighty mediocre have fallen.

Hello Everyone,

Just popping in here to say hello.

I'm still working full time, but from home now and putting in more hours than I should.

DH has been out of work for several months as his company he was working for went into liquidation and currently there are no jobs available although he keeps looking.

DH has been an absolute darling as he is doing all the house chores whilst I work. He's been the one decluttering and cleaning the house. I've been doing a little 30min crafting on a night to try relax my mind.

Hi Lisa! Glad to see you drop in!

I think dd and I are heading to NJ on Friday to meet people at her workplace and find an apartment. She feels that she should take the job she accepted - and it pays better. The second is an expensive area as well, not as expensive as NJ tho but it's a pretty big difference in the salary. She liked the people at the second job better and felt she would enjoy the collaboration.

Anyway, I think she has decided.

We picked up cousin and went to cemetery first - the restaurant we were going to wasn't open for lunch. We cleaned the markers and left flowers and scattered dMuffin's ashes at mother's grave. I feel pretty emotional, honestly. We had lunch outside at a restaurant after.

I am going to take a small nap.

The Sawbones Book

[CathyS]

Roast is in the oven with 4 whole carrots underneath it and there are 4 potatoes cut in half and 1 onion cut into 1/4s. Seared the meat first is oil and butter. Sprinkled salt and pepper all over all of that and it's in the oven for 2 hours. Good thing it's a small roast.

I'm baking cookies to take tonight. I also have a pan of vegetables to take. There are a couple of guys that catch, clean, & cook the fish for the meal. The rest will be potluck dishes. They are planning on 200 people to feed.

Did I tell you that I added a new "member" to our home? Henry arrived today! Henry is a cordless canister vacuum. that makes me smile and adds joy to the daily task of vacuuming.

Okay -- and thanks, LadyM for the help... let me see if I can do it...

NOPE -- that didn't work, did it? Where did I mess up?

Anyway -- what do y'all think about giving these two books to a medical school grad? I wanted something she could keep, you know, and I guess I'll just tell her, "DON'T CRY when you open this! I know it's not what you want! Just remember, I'm an English teacher and I couldn't resist." Will probably add in a $20 gift card too. Sigh. I ALWAYS re-think gifts. This is one reason I don't do early Christmas shopping.
