Ladies, I am fascinated with the new (to me) PLANNER industry. Apparently
planners have become the new
scrapbooks? I can scroll forever, looking at all the "accessories" for the CREATE 365 BIG HAPPY PLANNER. This is amazing. And of course, this is only one of the options out there now... I'm just amazed. (I am still waiting on my new $4.99 LION planner from Amazon to arrive, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be disappointed, b/c I am pretty sure it does NOT lie flat. OTOH, for $4.99, my hope was/is only to see if I will actually use a DAILY planner format, or if I need to stick with my self-styled system using a spiral notebook. But still... there are sooo many cute options out there. And of course, everyone in the sample pages fills out their list in such BEAUTIFUL lettering... in beautiful ink colors... and apparently they never have to scribble anything out. LOL!
Well, today has just been a normal day around here, thank goodness.
A HUGE HOORAY -- dmom volunteered the news (before I even told her I had talked to the doctor) that she had just told her preacher's wife she would be at ass't living until the 4th! * WHEW *
BIG SIGH OF RELIEF.
And actually, she is now paid up till the 5th b/c she agreed, it would be best to see if the doctor actually DOES take the pins out on the 4th, and if all looks well on the x-rays.
Doctor said he would not send PT until she is out of the boot, and he does not want her driving while she is IN the boot... so I am very, very glad to know she is well-cared for until that point.
DS will leave tomorrow night and he and dd, dgd, and the ddog will be returning Wed. DGS will spend the night with us tomorrow night and I'll have to get him to school Wed. morning (and probably pick up after, but that's no problem.) I told dmom I might not see her till THURS. b/c (1) tomorrow I am taking her car to be cleaned, at her request and (2) tomorrow or Wed., I may be accompanying dh to the doctor. Dmom was fine with that.
DH is still feeling awfully weak, but not nearly as bad since that one night when he had me so scared. He went to church yesterday, but he was worn out the rest of the day. He went on his own today to get a follow-up x-ray.
So glad things sound good re: the realtor,
Nancy!

Blessed))) Hope there's no headache on its way!
Harriet, I'd love to see that cookbook -- the governors' wives. I wonder if there are any on ebay or anywhere. What is the name of it?
OH -- can't forget to wish
Bsweet a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Still can't figure where that 6 hours went. Now I'm tired.
That is always the case when I'm out of the house for anything, Dee.
(((
Elizabeth))) I am so sorry about the loss of your dfriend.
(((
Twins))) I am nodding in agreement with
LadyM... you have had a TON of weight on your shoulders the last few years. Give yourself plenty of time to recharge and take all the time you need, whenever you need it.
Well, unlike
LadyM... I didn't complete any SHE cards... but today's accomplishments would be:
* phone call to dmom's doctor
* errands
-- drug store (twice, once for drop off, once to pick up)
-- post office
-- dmom's house to swap our truck for her car again
-- ass't living
-- -- paid for days through Sept. 5!
-- ds's house to get him and dgs (I have no idea why I didn't tell him to drive over here, except we both wanted to look at the menu at --
-- restaurant in town for pick up
-- home to eat (b/c dh didn't want to miss Braves' game)
-- back to restaurant b/c the left out our salads
* ate supper
* played w/dgs (this mostly consisted of me lying on the bed and closing my eyes when he turned off the light and announced it was night in the Fisher Price town, and opening my eyes when he turned it on and announced day)
* took ds & dgs home
* read the paper
The errands part took me approx 6 hours, too,
Dee -- from the time I left home until the time we ate supper -- and like you, it seems like WHY did it possibly take so long??? * sheesh *
One more thing. I must strive to keep up exercise this week. So I am going to the bedroom to watch Dateline on the DVR and walk away the pounds. If I can't do 15, I can at least do 5, right? See y'all tomorrow!
Oh -- btw -- I fully realize that having the most beautiful well-organized planner known to man/woman is going to do me absolutely no good at all if I don't find some BGS and get myself busy.
