hot tub room : is it an outside porch?
It's not a porch but a self-contained room, though it does have a covered deck at the entrance. The room is under the same roof as our house, with matching exterior siding and six windows. Our home, originally built in 1960, has been renovated and expanded six times over the decades. One of the previous four owners added an exercise room and a hot tub room, both with exterior doors for direct access to the swimming pool area. They prioritized pool access, as there are four exterior doors opening to the pool. Even our master bedroom has an exterior door that opens directly to the pool area. Older homes sometimes make you wonder what on earth they were thinking when they designed this or that feature.

Change of plan.

Taking some down time as I realize I needed it.
s2s happened.
Walk is done.
Got dishes put away.
-----
Had a yummy sandwich for my lunch.
Talked to dsis.
Got the back yard hose drained out & put away.
Rounded up the sprinklers " " as well.
Moved two chairs to under the carport.
Two more to move ...
One is moved a bit closer to where I think it might go.

Two more to do later on I'll rest a bit first.
Got a cover off the pillow to change wash.
Might put a zipper in these.

I've updated my post in the arts crafts and needlework thread.
Thinking of Harriet today.

that's really cool d lady! my mom had a friend that had a room that had a pool - not huge - but big enough with the same configuration.
do you have a hut tub in there? It sounds like the previous owners wanted access to the outside pool area and outside land all the time. interesting!

what's big here is a whole bunch of doors/windows in the basement area (on one side of the house) that goes to the outside. they usually have a pond view or just land.

hi d lady and d Nancy and everyone.

I finished all the cabinets and pantry in kitchen - dejunked washed and decluttered big time.
cleaned off the counters etc.
I still have a dining room table to conquer - med items etc.

what my focus needs to be - don't buy too much - keep 2 of everything I actually use on a regular basis.

what's needed next: my meds/ moms/ dogs vitamins etc.
take meds - forgot
get s2s

back from mom's appointment - I was pretty amazed that dd older handled mom's appointment so well - dd younger - I expected.
They are going to put her on a small dose of daily antibiotics.
He said that mom was too weak for the procedure and that part of his journey as a dr. is "to cause no harm"
They were positive and accepted what he said - no sadness just positivity.

what still needs doing: vacuum first floor
finish cleaning the dining room table -
I am hitting a bit tired - thinking I might want to do paperwork

I'm going to start watching next webinar but won't be able to finish. We'll be going to temple, then eating out tonight after. Has been a good day. Lots of good information and excellent syllabuses to refer to again.

I've pulled together a bit of an outline for tomorrow - I only have 30 min. Dh thinks the info may be a little too advanced but I'm aiming high. I'm billed as a professional and I'm thinking I'm going to stretch their horizons a little.

Dh wanted his mom's oven fried chicken and I don't know her exact recipe. I couldn't find any recipe where you deep fry the chicken and then put it in the oven. So I deep fried it until the inner temp was 165 (cooked) and then I put in in the oven. DMIL puts hers in a roasting pan with a rack inside of it and covers it. I did the same. We are having mashed potatoes to go with it.
