Raquel Welch Wednesday @ TDD - C&C

[Lauralind]

Morning all. You are productive as always kittykat. And organized.

Trissie I think that is a huge help you can work from home so much. And kids free for 2 weeks? That would be a whole different world for you. I'm glad you are getting prime adult time with dh.

Helian safe travels. A few days just with your close friends? Did you specifically have something you're going to?

Gma poor mom. It's hard when they lack judgment. Glad she wasn't hurt.

Morning lann.

Did I get everyone?

I worked yesterday and then we had ds and ddil here for supper with lil j. My goodness he is a little boy now not so much tiny baby. So cute. But either he's starting teething or thrown off his routines from the travel weekend.. he didn't nap long enough and was a bit fussy. Was nice though with ds working out of town and she often goes to see her family when he's gone we haven't seen him for a while.

Now what to do today. Always basic routines. And now it's raining this morning. My garden just has to grow. I'm a little worried about the greenhouse at dad's. We were all of us away for the weekend. Ds and ddil. Us. Even dad and mom went to visit family and a car show. If possibly, maybe, Dad watered it at all before they left it might still be ok. If not I think we're not getting anything much out of it. Frustrating. Dad said he could water it when I decided to plant. Yes I know he's caretaker for mom. I also know he spends time in the shop and mowing and doing whatever and running errands quickly on his own. The faucet is right beside him in the shop and he has it so nicely set up so its just turn it on and the whole thing is watered. The potatoes outside will be fine. I will not ever do that again.

I might text ds later since he's at home from rained out this week and ask him to have a look and tell me if it's worth doing anything or all dead. And then decide if I should go do something out there. I also won't be shocked if dad calls for something.

Other than that what to do with my day. Some detail cleaning? Or clean the rug? Still some more berries to pick if it's nicer later.

And book some appointments for me.

lauralind, yes, the flexibility of my job is its biggest benefit! The money raise I got lately was not half bad either, but I still value the flexibility more. Re your dad, is it possible he might have some... cognitive deterioration too? I mean, like you said, it's not really difficult to water the greenhouse, but he seems rebellious about it for no reason?

Week 2 of working in the twins' room and I still haven't gone through all the strays and clutter there! But I have two more days to go.

Oh trissie you might be onto something there. I feel a bit like his own surgery played a part. He is very repetitive in stories. Of course that has kinda always been there... forgetful in the kitchen... gets mom's meds ok but forgets his own? Appointments? Yet he resists us helping with that. I dunno . Sometimes we question it that is for sure. I don't know if this one is memory or priority... he claims.. I can't do it all. Well that's true but I can't go water every day. Even the weeding is proving too much. And if it's alive and ok I likely should be picking beans now . Dad used to love the greenhouse and pride himself in eating potatoes out of the greenhouse a couple months earlier. What can I say. I made a mistake and even dh encouraged me to do it cause as dad gets stronger he might enjoy doing some gardening if it was there. All my tomatoes are here and doing ok now. If they hadn't gotten eaten they should be somewhat ripening already but they alive and blooming and starting to make fruit. Even in last week drought.

I am being really slow... shower done. That's ddil laundry in the dryer done now. She has another load but told me she'd come do it herself. I don't mind but I'll wait and let her. I don't have much anyway. Other than that I have done nothing.

DH is harvesting chokeberries, so dinner will be a bit delayed. We're having tabbouleh, greek salad and grilled camembert, so I can easily postpone getting the BBQ started (we have gas one, so no fussing with coal)

Hi, all. Today I am thinking about luxury, and that the real luxury is time. I had what felt like a very luxurious breakfast: avocado toast with homemade bread and an egg. But really, the bread was homemade because it's less expensive than buying a loaf and I had time to run the breadmaker in the middle of the day when I can be sure the sound is not bothering my neighbours, the avocados were on sale for less than $4.00 a bag, and when you cut into an avocado you have to use the whole thing right away so it was piled up high on my toast. I needed the rigidity of the crust, and I'm finishing up an old loaf. But we eat like kings, as my db is fond of saying.

And now I should stop wasting that luxurious time. I'd like to get a loaf of bread going, and a pot of rice, and cook some potatoes, bring boxes to the locker and clear some boxes out of the locker, contact a friend about getting together for dinner, and general cleaning. We'll see how much we get done.
