Fabulous Friday PWYC

[Twins' Mom]

What do you need to do to make today FABULOUS? Figure it out, and let's go!

Could be self-care. Could be doing nothing. Could be pedal-to-the-metal all the way get it done! Or a combination. The day is yours!

Hi!

Thanks for starting us today Twins' Mom!

I didn't do any dishes last night. Right now there is a sink full waiting to go into the dishwasher. There are also 3 pots/pans that don't go into the dishwasher.

Slowly working away at clearing things up and putting stuff away.

No idea what we are having for supper tonight.

i need a mix of different things today. I was pretty successful yesterday with getting those five done. Today, after 11K steps yesterday, my back is a little sore, so I'm not going to over do it. I already did self-care by sleeping in.

Some thoughts:
-stamping - finish up a Hanukkah card at least (now that it's over!)
-upstairs clean up, straighten up, purge
-some house spiffing
---change sheets
---wash blanket
---get out new Roomba and give it a whirl

Dh decided (without input) on a Roomba for us for "gifts." I've been paralyzed about a decision, not knowing if it will handle our rugs, our house, our dog. And likewise, whether the dog can handle the Roomba. So he brought one home - with lots of bells and whistles - last weekend from Costco.

A couple of nice-to-dos:
-clean up garage, sweep, put away the seasonal decorations
-pansies
-get back on DAR supplemental application: make corrections, assemble supporting papers

Good morning

Today is day #1 of 18 day Christmas break. Alarms are off and I'm welcoming the slide into a change of having different focus for the next few days.

I am enjoying the feel-good feedback I receive from getting cards done with each hourly focus. The stress is low, things are getting accomplished and I get to relax with rewards frequently. Win - Win - Win

I'm having some routine heart testing done this morning. I don't remember what all the tests they are doing but I do remember they are not invasive. I'm thinking it is ekg and heart/artery ultrasounds. I'll just show up and let them do their thing. I'll go next Friday to get the results. I don't expect to hear anything surprising.

DH and I are taking this opportunity to go out to eat as a couple after the medical tests. I have 4 places that I enjoy eating out and we will go to one of them. This restaurant focuses on breakfast and you can watch them cook the food.

Cathy - I would love to hear about your upcoming travels as much as you are comfortable sharing.

Twins, just make sure there is no possibility of a a doggie "accident" in range of the Roomba! I've seen horrible FB videos where that happened!
Since I have no pets, I think I would love a Roomba -- if it could handle the back and forth from carpet, hardwood, vinyl, rugs. Let us know how it goes!

Mmmm... I love onion soup, blessed!

Enjoy your outing, LadyM -- and I'm saying a prayer that all goes well with your tests.

Nancy -- wow -- you've been busy! WTG!

Cathy, I think your trip is just the thing for you and dh. I hope you have a wonderful time!

Like blessed, I need some focus around here.
I've been to the post office, and the last of my gifts have arrived, so I MUST wrap those before going to pick up dgd in a hour or so.
I also called the doctor's office back, and they did agree to let dh speak to the actual doctor before the scheduled procedure in January. So he now has an appt for Dec. 27. You can see last night's J&C to see how frantic he has been since we left the doctor's office yesterday.
I need to spiff the house, too, Twins. My goodness, NOTHING has been done this week, between THREE appts for dh, and the worry/trying to calm him down in between.

waiting for my peach tea to have with a bit of blueberry scone (which I bought yesterday).
mom and dd older are enjoying time together - dd older is doing laundry at mom's house. Mom's mood is great compared to yesterday -just a stinker at the same time being funny/endearing at times. it's hard getting older where you aren't allowed to drive, someone else does your meds or climb high ladders even if you feel capable.

I am thoroughly enjoying my time. dh took his car out for the first time in 2 weeks - he has been using mine as I drive d mom's bc it is easy to use. I keep telling mom that I am "driving Ms. Daisy" but use her name.
worked on laundry room. separated laundry, put new easy lids on 5 gallon food safe buckets (I have 3). filled dog food. played a bit with dogs.

My hope tomorrow is that they install our new washing machine! I am ready.

next:
put away
exercise
pay bills
