Tarantella Thursday @ TDD - C&C

[helia]

Getting here late but feeling better, although I seem to have picked up a bit of a sinus infection while recovering from the tummy bug. I'm quite congested, though not headachy at the moment. *sheesh* I don't get sick often but when it rains it pours, I guess.

Thanks for another inspiring dance video, trissie!
Same here, Smile. Our sunshine and 60s temps have been exchanged for rain and the 30s. It's not very inspiring. But YAY for energy!!
So nice you can sit in your garden and enjoy it, Kitty.
You take Little Bit on the best outings, L Ann! Have fun at the museum!

Last night, I canceled everything for today since I wasn't at 100% at the time, and I didn't want to share the bug. I'm most sad about missing S2's birthday lunch today. Coffee with MM has been postponed for a couple weeks. And a workout this morning would have been really good -- but I'll plan on next week instead. Dh doesn't want to go to the Lenten meeting tonight, so, I actually have a completely open day. Groceries, clean sheets on the bed, figuring out how to get a hospital bed for Mom, and payroll GGT are on the schedule. Perhaps a walk if the rain lightens up? Or a short jog at the gym. I'll still take it easy.

I'm not going to IL this weekend after all, I've decided. I'm still hoping a trip can coincide with moving her, though maybe that's not likely. . . I might make 2 trips down. I have no idea.

L.ann you are doing amazing things with dear littleBit. She is learning so much while you have her. She will be very ready to learn in school when the time comes.
helian, I think you have been overwhelmed and over extended, and your body is trying to talk to you about that.
smiles, enjoy your massage

Hi, Peaches

Today is a new day, Gma. Good luck with your list.

[helia]

Yeah, maybe, Gma. I lay awake in bed last night for 2 hours fretting over things I need to do to move my mom. . . That was a non-helpful waste of time.
Sorry I missed you earlier, Doggedly. Don't overload yourself too much! You need a real day off.
Enjoy your walk and book, L Ann.

[L.Ann]

Helian, did you ask the nursing home where they recommend getting the bed you need? I bet they probably know some place.

[Doggedly]

Thanks, helian. I know that I can't do it all; I just keep adding things that I ought to do. But I do realize that I'm not going to get them all done. I did get Germane's rabies vaccination appointment booked before hers expire and I got her walked before the rain starts, so those are good. I'm going to head out to do errands to be back before rush hour.

That's a great idea, L.Ann.

[Smile*Lee]

Dogged ~ I'm a morning person but I still like daylight to go as far into the evening as I can get it.
helian ~ the sun finally came out for awhile. We got our rain overnight - along with a tornado watch & wind advisory. But all is well.
Glad you're feeling a little better.
hey, Peach!
Gma ~ ugh.. I agree. 10 posts to a page hampers the cuop & response a bit. It'll take a little getting used to.
L.Ann ~ dang.. should've looked for free ice cream

Going to spend the afternoon getting my planner and journal set back up. It's been a month since I've opened either one of them up. There are lists to be made!

Off to flybys!
