Good afternoon, everyone. I've just made a pot of tea and a sandwich for my lunch; dh is making a cheese and spam omelet and tea for his lunch. We are going to settle down and watch the AFC playoff game = Steelers vs Jaguars.
I can't recall when I last posted and I know I have several days to cuop. These last three weeks have not been the most pleasant or steady or productive for dh and me. He is still fighting his cold thing after three weeks and I'm one week behind him. I spent most of last week in bed and this week barely able to keep up with a few basic routines. The kitchen and bathroom just had to be kept clean because of the home health here four days each week. The nurse came an extra day to check on dh because of his being sick. We only went out once during this time to pick up RX refills and get groceries, a much needed trip. This is the first day I really feel I have any amount of energy to get started on something. I have one load of laundry in dryer, one is the washer and three more waiting.
Dee, I really hope you can shake your illness and feel better, same for your dh. Not good to have it hang on for a long time like this. (((Hugs))).
(((Hugs))) Harriet. Hope all works out well for your report and meeting.
It is sunny here, temp is 55*. When I got up this morning is was 36*.
Our Christmas tree is still up; have no idea when it will be put away. We do enjoy having the lights on in the evening, though.
Family news: I felt heartsick whenI saw this on FB last night and we talked to ds#2 this afternoon when he called us. Ds and family traveled to Orlando Friday night for the dgds to take part in the Highland Games. Dgd16 high school band was competing, the Dunedin City Band is competing and the girls were in dancing competition. Saturday morning they left their hotel room to go to the fairgrounds and discovered that dson's truck had been stolen during the night. Thankfully dgd16 had brought her high school pipes and her own personal pipes up to their room, but both girls lost their uniforms and dance outfits and the city bands snare drum that dgd22 plays...all told about $4500. plus the truck lost. They were able to borrow enough clothes for the girls to enter their competitions and one of their dfriends started a GoFundMe drive for them. Things like this should not happen. This dfamily puts so much love and effort into their schools and city community and family life. But the saving grace is the many friends they have in the community that have come to help our dfamily! Please send up prayers/good thoughts, etc. for Ds#2, Ddil-Y and dgds.
Ahh, now I feel drained and my teacup is empty and the washer and dryer need changing again....
