Maine Coon Monday

[Doggedly]

Hello, all! I'm going to keep my greetings short because I have to get my hair washed and bring Germane for her groomer appointment.
Smile*Lee, I used to go to an all-woman workout studio, and I used to wonder who they were dolled up for.

Welcome back, trissie. It sounds like the cottage gave you a much-needed break.

helia, I am picturing an entire family who in no way resembles Winston Churchill. (Except for the baby.)

Lauralind, take my advice with a grain of salt as I only do basic crochet and I'm not good at it, but when I'm fed up with a project but I still want to crochet, I start crocheting flowers. I'll decide what to do with them later, but just flower after flower. Very satisfying.

Hi, Peaches.

CostumeLady, it looks like you have a good plan for reorganizing.

Hi, Bama! I hope that your hitch giddies up.

I'm glad that you are finding ways to reach your goals within the limits of what you are permitted to do, L.Ann.

Thank you for starting us off, Kittykatt. A week of cats will be fun. I am curious to see what you will come up with for each day.

[trissie]

Bama, whatever "putting some giddy up in my hitch" means, it doesn't sound too comfortable! (yeap, still on page 1 with my replies )
lauralind, have you been seen by a chiropractic or physiotherapist lately? This sounds like something is blocked there!
L.Ann, has DD been feeling poorly? Strep throat is not fun

I have pretty much been homebound except for 2 meals out. I will probably drive tomorrow to take DD32 to her appointment since I feel fine. DD39 has really wanted me to follow all instructions so I haven’t pushed on the driving but my 2 week follow up is Wednesday and I am not taking any meds and am walking 10000 steps so I am sure I am fine. DD39 has been taking Little Bit to and from school though and watching her on either end so it has been a quiet 2 weeks….. hence the puzzle… there is only so much reading and walking a person can do.

DD32 was fine until this morning…. Cough and sore throat so who knows.

Laundry: my clothes washing

Bedroom: 1.25 hrs dc boxes, putting papers in files according to person, filled 2 boxes of books to donate

Do:
Eating lunch and taking a little break. We have boxes upon boxes of dh’s life since birth that we packed up after his mom and brother passed away. He just doesn’t want to deal with them so I will. He has had plenty of time and they just sit and grow as he piles stuff on top of them. It can be wearing so stepping back for now, I left him a pile of wrestling magazines from the 70s/80s to go through so he can participate. If he leaves them, they’re trash this week.

CostumeLady, I am not a good sleeper either. But then again, DH's snoring is certainly not helping (I don't wake up when he's away for business trips).
L.Ann, crossing my fingers that DD does not need the antibiotics"
helia, my DH is blond with blue/green eyes, while I have dark brown hair and dark eyes. DS is a spitting image of his father, the twins have light brown hair (my late father had the same color), and when DBD was born, she had dark hair and darkish eyes, so I was like "yay, finally MY baby!". Yeah... she's blond now, so basically I look like I don't belong!
Bama, some of them insects just don't want to be saved!
Dogged, now you really make me want to learn crocheting!

And now I am all caught up! But it's 8pm and time to start winding down... I think my 10 minute of movement (really, really need get back to the habit) will be evening yoga

I am sparkly clean and Germane is at the groomers so that she will be too.
I am indulging in a piece of lasagna before I get busy, so I can CUOP.

trissie, crocheting is easier than knitting because there is only one hook and you only deal with one loop at a time (two at the most). That meants that when you want to rip stitches out to correct an error, it's easy to put the loop back on the hook and restart. I never mastered knitting because I always change my mind and couldn't get all of the stitches back on the needles, LOL.

I'm sure that you feel being homebound more than most of us, L.Ann, as you are normally so active outside the house. Luckily, it's not for much longer.

Hi, Peaches

Decluttering paper takes you down all kinds of rabbit holes, Bama. You are wise to put some boundaries around it.
