Well, I am quite happy for a relatively boring day today, after the scare dh gave me last night. He still does not feel WELL, but at least he does not expect to die in his sleep -- which was truly his state of mind last night. I'm sorry if I scared any of you, but he had me pretty upset, myself.
Today, the boring PODA here is laundry laundry laundry LAUNDRY. DH is insistent that we get the towel/underwear laundry done "or else we have to buy new." Dmom says this is a holdover from college days, and dh agrees. I keep my stuff done, and his jeans/shirts/etc pretty well caught up, but his philosophy on towels and his own underwear is definitely to ignore it until he runs out. * BIG SIGH * That is also his philosophy re: ironing; he doesn't want to have to put it away any more often than necessary.
Normally, except for the ironing, I just ignore HIM and let him do it as he pleases, but today he specifically asked for help, so I am doing the washer-dryer flip-flop. He will probably fold everything and have me help him carry from the laundry room to the bathroom.
Other than that, I have...
* s2s, done Bible and breakfast routine (banana, pb crackers)
* eaten more than is necessary, by a long shot... granola bar, cheese and crackers, Frosted Flakes...
* run errands to the
-- alterations lady to pick up a pair of dh's khaki shorts she hemmed
-- post office
* phone call to car dealership to check on warranty (getting "spam" junk in mail, wanted to double-check w/them)
* talked to dmom on the phone
...
She apparently is over her upset with me now, and actually admits that she MIGHT have taken that pill without realizing it last night...* worked on a Sudoku puzzle for a while
I told dmom I would be over tomorrow to bring her dispensers for next week (and an extra for the pill she "lost" last night)... and then I'll have to get back home ASAP b/c dgs will be here after school and I need to cook supper. DH is going to try much harder to get back in the routine of eating right. Since ddil has been out of town, plus our travel last weekend, dh has been a little too "free & easy" with his diet, and he said last night, that could be contributing to how he has been feeling.
Good to see
helia joining us more lately! Happy birthday to your dh!
Twins, I'm with you... just not feelin' it...
Happy birthday, to
Harriet's dd20??? Yes -- happy birthday -- but nooo -- 20???
I like Barney's method,
Harriet. Good idea. Same for mowing,
Elizabeth. I actually may have to try that if our yard man doesn't get out here SOON. I told dh, I think I will call the yard man and ask if he knows anyone who mows yards...
The boyfriend does not want TCF or xBFF's daughter in xBFF's house
Elizabeth -- he doesn't even want her DAUGHTER in the house???
Oh. My. Goodness. And SHE is choosing HIM over her DAUGHTER???
Oh. My. Goodness. I cannot even imagine...
I did have to admit, I LOL at the idea that a BOYFRIEND is the solution for 82-yr-old-TCF.
Pardon me for saying it, but your xBFF is a NUT.
Nancy, I really admire how you keep up with your painting and journaling, in addition to getting the house decluttered & move-ready. You are doing GREAT!
Blessed, I am going to listen to your links to Kat's YouTube later today. I always feel better when I hear her, for some reason. She always makes me think, yes, I CAN do this.
Harmony, you are definitely due a few days "off" and the more boring, the better!
I don't know
what dh and I talk about... last night, after I caught him up on the church stuff, it was health & sickness... and death... and scary stuff. Seems like lately, a LOT of our conversations have been depressing health-related topics. We talk about the dgrands a LOT too though, b/c that is a favorite topic for both of us
, and he talks a lot of politics/sports, which mostly just goes right over my head. We used to talk about school all the time, too, b/c that was how each of us spent our entire day. I worked with a lady who said she and her husband never talked "shop" at home. I thought, "Well, what on earth do you talk about???" LOL.
So...
LadyM says, "Use it or lose it." I too used to do some quick floor exercises as soon as I got out of bed, and I too have no idea why I quit that. But I definitely need to get that back into my routine. My back has been bothering me a bit lately, and that might have something to do with it.
I also put off real exercise till later in the day, blessed, and often times I am too tired or get too busy with something else. That's another habit I really need to work on. Perhaps tie it to something else... watching the nightly news, or doing before-bed routine at the same time every night... hmmmm...
Happy birthday to your dgs,
LadyM!
BTW... the will thing is kinda bugging me too. We do not have a will and I know when the time comes, things will be sooo much simpler if we do. We have asked dbil to do one for us, but he has been dragging his feet, and we have not reminded him in a while.
And now, back to the laundry room...
