it's Saturday - time to get up, get out, stay in - what will it be?

[Lady Maverick]

Twins - Congratulations on a successful gathering to share about a subject that you have deep knowledge of.

The time spent at the Fall Festival was absolutely worth it. I captured plenty of photos of DH and friends as they chatted and connected.
DD14 stayed with a friend at the festival instead of coming home with us. I'll go back and get her later.

DS17 is off work for the day and has 2 friends here with him in the shop.

I've started decluttering another room. The previous occupants called it the exercise room, and when the kids were younger, they used it as a playroom. We don't use it for that anymore, so I'm not sure what to call it right now. I'll clear it out and see if a new purpose comes to mind once it's cleaned.

LM way to go on your de-cluttering progress you are doing amazing! You can be proud of yourself.

I'm thinking of the fire pit might wait till next week some new neighbors are doing something in their back yard.
The house is too small for very many people I do not want to smoke em out.

The nap was very satisfying! Since then, not so much. I can't login to the HOA bank accounts. Tried to get online help but not available on the weekend, especially since I can't get logged in. I don't think it's a wrong password and it's worrisome. Trying to login to Humana re: insurance I also can't get logged in and it insists that my medicare number is 11 digits. I see nine. So I finally got signed in with the member number which I had to find. And ddog is wanting me to go outside with her and is driving me crazy. I was getting the leash to take her to walk and realized that it's raining suddenly! We have a special weather statement about gusty winds over night and tomorrow too.

I'm not sure I understand Humana's EOB but whatever.

I did do the online part of starting a return so I just have to drop it off at the UPS store.

I'm so very glad I have such a quiet week beginning. We have houseguests coming in on the 28th for several days. Perhaps too many days. I think they'll be here on Tuesday and go on Friday or Saturday?

I need to do HOA checks but not wanting to release them or pay anything online until I get the account resolved on Monday. And we received a refund that was made out to the former developer company who was the manager of the HOA early on - so I probably need to get with those people about them endorsing it to us. We've been paying the bill for twelve years maybe - the refund was because we changed internet plans for the cabana.

I don't have much motivation to do anything right now.

I googled EOB on Humana means Explanation of Benifits if that helps.

I tried to nap did not but did get to some knitting.
The load I washed is now in the dryer.
Back to the Ice skating I was watching.
Right after I put some ointment on my hands.

CI Have cut apart another pr. of jeans.
The basket of cut up ones is filling up.
Ddoggo is happy I had a treat for her.
Thawing out a small pizza to have later.
I moved a deck chair earlier now that I have a spot for it not in front of the sliding glass doors.
De-cluttered that coffee bag and the too strong coffee pods
Just heard the dryer shut off. Put that load away.
Put some of the future sewing projects away after I sorted them out yea!

Take care if you are in storm alert areas.

[Twins' Mom]

Yep Nancy, it's just not user friendly, once I finally got to it. All this medicare stuff is all new.

Dh is home, we'll have pulled pork or brisket for dinner.

[blessedw2]

I hope you have a lovely time with your guests this week.

yay on getting kintting done!
enjoy watching ice skating d Nancy

I’ve filled another 50-gallon trash bag and feel great about my decluttering progress. The pace is just right—fast enough to see results and stay motivated, but slow enough to avoid feeling overwhelmed or dealing with decision fatigue.

I need to check with DD14 to see if she needs money for supper or if she’s ready to come home. I’m kicking myself for not giving her $20 to grab something to eat, but reminding myself that, in the grand scheme of things, it’s a minor mistake.

DS17 asked if he could do Monday's homeschool assignments ahead of time so he can haul cattle that day. Hmmm... that means I need to switch my homeschool brain back on and get lessons planned and assigned.

[Twins' Mom]

Oh my LadyM. You mean I could just put things in a bag to throw away? I have trouble turning loose - I want things to go to someone who will enjoy them as much as I do. I really need to start splitting out my stamping stuff to give away (and making a last stab at selling what I can) and let these things go.

I walked the ddog. Stopped off at dfriend M and D's for a glass of wine and to hang out on her porch. Stopped to talk to a neighbor and her cute little girls. Relaxing walk. The neighborhood is having a chili cookoff and later a movie at the little playground later, but I have no interest. Found that dh only ordered BBQ brisket - no pulled pork. They give people the option of buying to donate to the community kitchen and I think they got close to 100 lbs of pulled pork too.

Dh is asleep in front of the TV. Ole Miss and GA right now. The annual rivalry of AL and TN is later. Hope RR is able to tune in too.

[Twins' Mom]

Ugh on the homeschool assignments LadyM. Not going to last forever - next year you'll have so much time on your hands, lol.

bw2, glad your dmom is resting comfortably now, and I'm glad the dr appointment the other day went okay with your dds too. I had meant to comment the other day.

Nancy, what will you use the cut up jeans for?
