The Microsoft
man person helped me out. It may not look EXACTLY like it did, but it's close enough that dh isn't getting eyestrain anymore.
I have made a 2nd promise to dh. (First promise, no more Facebook purchases.) Second promise, no more fiddling with computer settings when there is no reason at all to change anything.
DGS's team lost again -- by five points this time. They have played this team 3 times. First two times, we lost by 2 points each time. Now, 5. They are definitely the most evenly matched teams in the league.
I like that you allow free time and reward yourself,
LadyM. I'd be doing really well to have 14 tasks I could give myself a POTB for each day, but I will be striving to give myself MORE tasks than I'm already doing, by telling myself this is just what I need to do THIS hour... then working on the next hour, etc.

Twins))) I do hope you feel better tomorrow, but don't make yourself feel guilty if you have to arrange the shuttle for dd. It's so nice that you have that! I always HATE it when dbro comes in and wants someone to pick him up. It's "only" about an hour to the airport, but when he comes in during Christmas holidays, it's just always stressful to try to get him to and from. This last time, he flew into Nashville, and arrived super-early in the morning, so he didn't consider anything other than renting a car. That was MUCH better for us and dmom!
LOL at the meatball/cookies,
blessed! * I hope your throat feels better soon, too!
Kathryn, I may have mentioned this earlier, but as far as keeping the dgrands during our ice storm -- it wasn't really that ds/ddil needed us for childcare, it was just that when there is no school, dgrands AND dh think one of them has to be here. DH is really needing the distraction of the little ones to keep his mind off himself, and they just think they have to get one night each on the weekends. And of course, I do love having them around. DGS is easier than dgd because he will let us sleep late and entertain himself till we want to get up. DGD "has to" sleep in our room, wakes up early, and then she and I move to the other bedroom. She will let me go back to sleep, but it is NOT an unbroken sleep by any means... she wants something to eat, or she's playing her videos too loud, or something... so I'm never as well-rested when she's here. And she wants me to play with her a lot more than dgs. But she's a sweetheart, too, and when she's in a good mood she's super helpful and fun to have around. She just lost her second tooth, so she's missing both her top front teeth right now.
Anyway -- that is terrible about the ramp being icy and blocked by the car!
Sorry you're having ice, too,
Cathy. Hope y'all enjoyed your super. That sounds so neat, to live that close to Niagara Falls!
I have been decluttering clothes also,
LadyM. I'm trying to do my closet by colors. Tops only, so far, and I still need to do black, green, orange, purple (I don't think I have anything purple). Then I'll do pants and the few skirts and dresses I still have. I have three boxes, slightly smaller than banker's boxes, that are ready to go out, and I've started a bag of things to just toss in the trash. These are tops that are stained or so frayed at the collars that I would be embarrassed to give to charity!
I should suggest to ddil how I'm doing one color at a time. This seems much less overwhelming than when I just started looking at my closet and trying to decide.
Waving to
Harriet and anyone else I may have missed!
I know it's late, but I am going to reconcile the checkbook and get the church notes in order. I need to start a separate notebook for the disaffiliation reports -- so far, they have sent about 40 pages of information! I'm glad I'm just the secretary!
Hope you all have a great night!
