Boxing Day PWYC

[lucylee]

Nurse STILL has not called!
I took a Zofran but I still am dizzy and nauseous and I wish I could just sleep.

[Nancy]

I have tried on the Sox and they did not work.
One pr. of sweats are great the others same size nope! So strange I checked the tags too. Sigh oh well.
I did think of a couple other items I did not get so will check on those when I
''m next out of the house.

Found that show of Too hot to Handel / PBS Handel's Messiah on and I can listen from the beginning.
I'll do some and then more later now through New Year's Eve. {Christmas at the Royal Albert Hall.]

Got the mail processed.
Put away the last few items and made dog treats.
Walked to both corners & then in back picked up after the ddoggo.
Got most of my steps in at the store today.

Put the branches I cut up last week in the can this week.
I need to dust under the table top three on the said table. x
Had protein. rest of my lunch.

DH and I went to the next town to walk their city park trail. It did us both good to get outside and move our bodies. We enjoyed walking on a trail that we haven't done recently while observing nature.

All 6 of the Christmas tubs have been retrieved from storage racks. Now the process of choosing my favorite decorations and combining them into tubs begins. I am challenging myself to reduce the number of Christmas tubs from 6 to 3. Can it be done without giving up anything that matters to me? hum....

blessed, I didn't realize they were headed to FL so soon. You are wise to handle the tree, then. Embrace the New Year.

TaDas have happened

Cleaned the bathtub
washed the interior mat in machine - hung to dry
bathroom trash out
15 mins decluttering bedroom
Crafted just enough to post about it in A, C and N
kept track of potassium-rich foods. Ate same
cleaned up kitchen, stored leftovers

((lucylee)) I'm so sorry you are dealing with nausea. I don't think these symptoms could be coming from reducing the pills. Your mother could be right about her opinion.

timer being on again - I got a little ping pong-y but better now. dd younger came back feeling better - she took herself for a nice drive in the country.

I am not picking up mom today - d brother was with mom until 3 pm and she is now asleep in her chair. She is not going to Florida - dd older will fly back in a week or so. dd younger will stay longer - lots of things to think about - I am saying lots of prayers for guidance for her. At least they will have a vacation in Florida together. Mom will be with me for ten days. it will be easier for me but maybe not for mom - I will play it by ear and do what I can to have her be happy.

dd older will go to mom's to bring her helper the meds she needs tonight and tomorrow morning.
My brother will be there on Jan 4th so that dh & I can go the siblings dinner.

next set up meds
time to tie up the lights and put them away.
sweep the needles and vacuum
empty the tree stand of left over water

yay on getting the holiday tubs out to do put away!

d Nancy oh did you have two different sizes"? sorry that happened

I have been thinking about how to make life better - sometimes I get stuck and need to do some type of learning, time outdoors, fixing the house etc.
instead of waiting for something to happen - I can prepare for what I can and still remember to expand my world to create joy and purpose.

Nancy I'm glad some of the purchases worked out well - great crafting fun ahead.

A good "instead of waiting for something to happen" thought, blessed.

It is tempting - but sobering - to "map out" the next 5 cycles of treatment by what days I expect to be good, bad, or on the way to one or the other. At first, dr just wrote "okay, bad, good" for all 21-day periods by week. I know a little more now.

Right now, I'd hope to do one thing in each of my 6 categories in planner daily. clean, declutter, laundry, sewing, garden, exercise. Some weeks they would be tiny little ta-das and some weeks, larger. I think it would be good for me to get to check them off.

LadyM, some households have cameras in and around them now. Dd44 is not rich at all but has camera angles where you least expect, and some that she gets an alert and actually looks at the view from wherever she is on her phone. She knows who delivers, and her dog can get in trouble when no one's even home, lol. Just a cautionary thought in case the dog owners weren't so sure about other people coming to their home. I remember when dd26 was dog/house sitting and used too much detergent in the household's dishwasher. Soooooo glad that was before much technology to record events, since I rushed over taking her a stack of towels. By the time the family returned, they simply had a quite clean floor and their washer twins had done an extra load of laundry for us.


I canNOT believe it but HRH's dcousin came over to our porch with a fresh-made banana pudding still very warm. How sweet, thoughtful (and potentially psychic) is this woman??? In the freezing cold. And it all happened so fast - I had nothing to share with her. Btw, cronometer says a serving of banana pudding has 15 percent of our potassium need daily. And a considerable portion of smile. I just have to eat it. Right now.

[Twins' Mom]

LOL on the laundry mishap, Harriet!

I got a lot done this afternoon for HOA. Paid the bills, did the data entry for bank account et al on the website where we'll take payments. I printed the listing of home and owners from county website and need to compare to QB "customers."

Dh came home early and will only work a little tomorrow. We walked the dog and ds called and was heading to our house. Dh hadn't told me he was coming over. So I wrapped his gift quickly and we spent a little time and lit Hanukkah candles. Offered to take him out to eat instead of me cooking dinner but he had a big lunch. Then he and dh took off for a "field trip" to the liquor store to look at bourbons. I'm a little miffed - first surprise appearance from him and second, I am starting our dinner and dh has taken off. But it's still only six p.m. basically.

Menorah on front porch is on, it's nice to see it and we added candle to the small menorah looking out the back. Candles already burnt down in the one we lit, but I have gas fire going low.

Anyway, I guess we'll eat when he comes back.

I am pleased with my Christmas decoration decluttering and organizing into 3 tubs. I think I am done with this project, but I am keeping the tubs in the house until tomorrow. I asked DH to join me in looking for random Christmas decorations that was missed being gathered.

I have finished digging and incorporating misc compost ingredients into half of raised bed #4. Before I could do this I removed the three large metal cages and the last remains of the 3 pepper plants that grow in that area. The pepper plants main stem that grew out of the soil was surprising (to me) thick. My normal garden tools were not up to the task, so I had to use the ratchet cutters that I normally used for tree limbs.

Ds has the Ring Doorbell, so they can see everything on their phones. And they are definitely not rich, LOL!

Well, gyno office never called! So I’ll have to call back in the morning. This is so frustrating.

The nausea is 99% nerves. Anytime I get nervous, I get sick at my stomach.
Ds brought a hamburger and fries for supper and I ate the burger and a few fries. Both dgrands are with me now and will probably spend the night. That’s okay; I need the distraction.
