helia, I bet that the census people are ones you would not be that unhappy to see be made redundant!
I made a simple curry with spinach and DS loved it! He's such a picky eater that him actually liking a new recipe is a big thing. And the tomato-pesto pasta sauce I made yesterday was a hit with all kids, so I have two new recipes (the twins did not like the curry, but DBD did, so it's a 4 to 2 vote on that one

How is DD32 with the meds today, L Ann? Short bursts of exercise might be more manageable! Good idea.

Dinner guests just left. The after dinner clean up has been done. The conversation was lively! We like getting to know young people.
I don't have any health data with which to update any apps -- so that's easy. I could track my food for the day -- but I'm tired. It was a very social day for me, and I think I'll just skip. KSJ get together this morning for 1.5 hours, 1 hour work meeting, 1.5 hour phone conversation with census bureau guy, and then dinner guests for 2.5 hours -- all good. All pretty social.
Tomorrow will be more low-key. I'll teach at payroll 1:30 - 3:30. I'd like to go for a jog and figure out a Kroger run as well. Those are the big things.

last night I went to bed without making a list for today
and I don't make good lists in the morning! So I didn't get much accomplished today, just:
PT for my foot
stopped at "other" church to order and pay for Easter Lily in memory of Mother's neighborhood friends who have died.
wasted time waiting for carpenter/ handyman who was to come adn set up back up battery back up for dfBS who desperately needs oxygen and would be in trouble if power went out. Yes, she has tanks as well. Then 2 hours later he did come, so I returned. He's an incredibly nice person, and no way would I be mad at him. I just returned to dfBS house. He set it up and showed me how ti works. And he is going to router the "other" side of my bread board so I can pull it out more easily, as I wore out the first side and had to flip it over.
fed little dog (this is a big deal, as she is fussy and like fresh cooked chicken or chopped slice of ham. She doesn't eat dog food. Mother trained her and no way am I going to succeed at changing her diet at age 12!
washed inside of north windows on Mother's porch. that's 1/4 of the inside, meaning lots left. When the weather is nicer, I will do the outsides.
Went to grocery store and bought grapes, raspberries, and chocolate bar on sale which I ate instead of eating the healthy fruit. ( shame on me)
crocheted a row on prayer shawl while watching TV about some fun railroad excursions in various areas of this country - Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and more.
OK SO LIST FOR WEDNESDAY
(get out of bed without spending time on tablet games)
read a litle in Florence Nightingale biography, but don't get stuck in it! (I can lose the world to a book!)
Look outside and see if we are heading towards 1 or 8 inches of snow (forecast is 96% for that wide range - 46% think the low end, 50% think higher - that's pretty even guesses )
Unload the DW
Load DW
Let's try oatmeal for breakfast, with raisins, and a whole orange instead fo juice
wash the water reservoir in my Keurig
wipe off counters
Carry vacuum cleaner up the stairs and vacuum the K rugs
Set timer for 1/2 hour each and dedicate time to living room and office
Talk to mother - have lunch with her if the blizzard doesn't materialize because menu looks good
Clear bathroom counter
Lent Soup supper at church if it's not cancelled because of weather
Remind myself to snack on grapes instead of jelly beans
I can think of all that when it's bedtime, but I can't remember on e thing when I get up in the morning, so I am starting to make bedtime lists.
I could track my food for the day -- but I'm tired. It was a very social day for me, and I think I'll just skip. KSJ get together this morning for 1.5 hours, 1 hour work meeting, 1.5 hour phone conversation with census bureau guy, and then dinner guests for 2.5 hours -- all good. All pretty social.
