I want to make a lemon volcano, L Ann! The nursing home here sent me 2 companies that they recommend. I passed the info on to the nursing home in Illinois.
Maybe it's OK not to respond to everyone, Gma. We know we're all cheering each other on!
Glad you got some sunshine, Smile! We got snow and wind. Maybe the sunshine will come tomorrow.
Those sound like priority tasks, Doggedly.

Hello, everyone!

Helian, L.Ann has an excellent idea for sourcing a hospital bed for your DMum. Very good news that both nursing homes appear willing to talk to each other.

What a lovely day for Little Bit, L.Ann!

Good luck with your list, Gma!

WTG getting important things done, Dogged!

Have product fun with your planner and journal, Smilelee!

Hi, Peaches!

I had a lovely time in my garden - the weather was just perfect. The pots are now all fed and dead heading/ weeding is up to date. Waitrose have delivered and the groceries are PA. I've made a note to remind myself to take the perishables out of the fridge and freezer for C tomorrow afternoon when I go and see her. Everyone has been fed and I'm now typing this with Matilda on my lap. I still haven't replied to *that* email, but I did update my blog:

Kittykatt's Dolls House Project

Just stopping by to say I'm still alive! It's been one of them days, and it's 10pm and I just turned on my computer to do more payroll stuff. [deleted a major rant about some of my colleagues who don't respect other people's work ours or deadlines].
I'm gonna finish payroll and head to bed. See you all tomorrow!

[Smile*Lee]

L.Ann ~ Dm really liked DQ cones, but her fave was McDonalds because they were the cheapest. Are they lemon volcanos because you're using lemon juice instead of vinegar?
helia ~ tacos sound good.
wtg, Peach!
kitty ~ cute bath set!

Been working on planner. Made some fresh almond milk. Need to blanch the almonds next time and get the skins off. They leave a little bit of a bitter taste. Also working on laundry.

[helia]

Ugh. Sorry about the co-workers, trissie. I hope you don't have to stay up too late.
I think the blog is very interesting, Kitty! Is it difficult to find doll house furnishings in good condition?
Making your own almond milk sounds fancy, Smile!

I got sidetracked by an email from the trustee. I answered her questions and then made a new folder for new NH and moved a spreadsheet of costs to it. I also had to correct something for my W program end of session paperwork; did that and will download and "file" it away next. I have the quilt drying, the bed stripped, and sheets and towels washing.

Next:
- payroll: put document in drive
- put away groceries
- start dinner?

I am back from errands, safe and sound. I got overconfident and took out library materials, so I shouldn't be surprised that the car has broken down again. It's going to be an adventure to return the materials.

I have a lasagna in the oven, and I am taking a rest before I start on the laundry.

I can relate to that, Smile*Lee. Sun at both ends of the day is ideal.

You have given Little Bit another great day, L.Ann.

WTG, Peaches

WTG on keeping the progress going, to get your dmother moved closer to you, helia.

Very cool pictures in your blog, kittykatt. I can't believe how detailed the bathroom furniture is.

Hang in there, trissie. Have a good sleep!

Thursday
Put away dry dishes
Sorted out my avatar for the new board
Mini purse cleanout
Set the time on the bird clock
Cleaned up after dog X 3
Checked library hours
Fresh water and kibble for dog
Rotated plants and refilled the big planter’s water bottle
Spiffed self
Walked dog
Called to book Germane’s vaccination appointment
Transferred money to laundry card
Settled dog in pen
Transferred $ to laundry card
Went to library
Went to the tool store where they don’t sell the back part for the license frame, but the employee spent a lot of time sorting out a solution for me and showing me what connects to what. It was really kind of him, but will require a drill.
Went to Giant Tiger where the sale items were in stock. Shopped the sales.
Came home. My brakes started to go as I was pulling into my spot, so I am able to park it and leave it there until after I visit my dbrother. I have to say that was very considerate of my old car.
Brought up my groceries/library material
Put away the cold groceries
Set out the bags to dry (it is raining)
