Taking Care Tuesday

[Kathryn-in-Canada]

I was going to title this "What a Blast" Wednesday but that was slightly inappropriate and then I realized it is only Tuesday!

I slept with my slippers on (with the orthotics in them) and managed through the night.

I'm up now after 4 hours of sleep, though, so will definitely enjoy my time in a hospital bed today.

My triumph is that I put this off until after the move (the original date offered me was in June - good decision to delay!) and that I'm getting it over with. My mom had cancer of the colon and I had polyps last time I was checked so this is a going to be a regular event with me, more often than most people. On the other hand, I'm taking care of me.

So that raises the question: what will you do to take care of yourself today?

Good Morning!

Kathryn - your in my thoughts and prayers this morning. POTB for taking good care of yourself!

I'm sipping coffee while waking up. I was up around 3:30am and felt ready to start the day but I made myself lay down and go back to sleep. Then I overslept. I have 20 minutes to get rid of this groggy overslept feeling before doing the cousin pickup and transport to DMom's home so she can take them to VBS.

This afternoon I will take LO to kids program at library.

Otherwise I am going to be trying to catch up at home. My kitchen counter looks like a produce aisle exploded. Tomatoes, cantaloupe, okra, black eye peas, 2 varieties of squash, 3 kinds of peppers.........all waiting for me to do something with them.

May your day be blessed with unforeseen good things, Kathryn. Good "Taking Care of You" today.

I didn't sleep all that well after 1am but was up and going by 7:30. Just heated water so next up will be dishes. I've already done my morning routines and did my 3-minute round robin.

It's a rainy day so should spend it getting some desk work caught up. Think dd is taking dgs9 to DS-A's movie room to watch more episodes of "Star Wars". That's her "assignment" this summer since she had never watched any of it. The summer is going so fast and she'll be heading home before I know it. OTOH, I am so very glad to have the time together that we do. Doesn't happen for most people I know.

Have hamburg thawing to make goulash for dinner. Seems like a good day for it.

Kathryn, I suspect that nice deep hospital sleep won't be long enough for you - but I bet you can have a nice nap this afternoon? I just recall that whenever I have anesthesia it is sooooo hard to wake up - they want one up and sipping and I just want to sleep, sleep, sleep. And you can take care of yourself with a lovely meal this afternoon or evening. The prep is always the worst part.

Today I need to be on the move.

Out of the house:
-pick up clean comforter for guest room
-workout
-pick up dog meds for dMacs at vet
-bank for cash

Here at home:
-charitable p/u for couch in garage at 10 a.m.
-prep for temple bd meeting tomorrow night
-return emails, temple and religious school
-straighten up house, swifter? clear clutter
-straighten up dd's room more
-sweep and dust rest of front/back patios
-usual routines, etc.

Our guests are supposed to arrive between five and six. We aren't doing fancy dinner tonight - will be hamburgers and corn on the cob, maybe something else easy?

Sooooo......I need to get rolling on a.m. routine straight away. I was up at 7:45 when ds needed me to move my car so he could get out. I am sooooo tired of the garage being blocked my his car. Will be nice to get my car in once the couch is gone.

-breakfast
-meds/vitamins
-garbage can out
-empty dishwasher
-start lol - I need guest towels clean

I am up trash it out to the curb. The rest of the apples I picked up are delivered to the field for the deer. The sun rise was lovely today. My arm shoulder arm is sore from lifting apples note to self fewer ones in the bag bucket next time. Back sprinkler is done. Hens have quieted down now. H. Has left for work. Kids will not be here till later on. Sun it peeking over the trees now. Did my q.t. outside on the patio. I have cleaned the coop need to do the run later on.

I seem to run out of steam /mojo when. It comes time to do the I side stuff sigh. Have an errand I need to do at some point today.

Dh just woke me up. I have to get up, shower, and then we'll leave at eleven. I am in the nothing to drink period so that will be all I'll manage.

[Twins' Mom]

Hope it all goes well, Kathryn. We'll be in the virtual waiting room just outside!

-change into workout clothes
-clear kitchen counters and breakfast bar
-walk the ddogs (will have to be after couch is picked up)
-brush and floss teeth
-straighten up GR room

Back home. MPB daily gross processed and deposit sent with DH.

Last night we had another prospective buyer for MPB come check out the equipment room. They seemed very interested and are waiting for us to make decision about the price. There are 3 ways to do appraisal on this type of business. In a rare quiet moment this morning, DH and I sat down together and ran the numbers. We now have set a high/low guestament of what MPB is worth. I suspect we are low balling it but DH doesn't. DH is going to visit with our bank president today and get his recommendation. DH is also going to visit with people we buy chemicals from. They have been in the business for 40+ years and have a vast knowledge.

joining in the virtual waiting room for Kathryn.....

Next up -
** On treadmill while drinking 1st bottle of water and listening to today's Bible lesson
** Shower and D2S (again!)
** DW loaded and running

Good morning.

Kathryn, keeping thoughts for an easy procedure for you today.

I had to work on that statement / spreadsheet this morning. Last night I had it finished except for one figure DH got for me this morning. And I had to change one other - had hit the 4 instead of the $, which made it 42,000 instead of $2,000! So glad to have this done.

Desk is a sea of papers but I'll deal with that a little later. Going to finish my coffee first...and get dressed. I went to our "office" in my bathrobe this morning...
