fall back in time - but jump forward on your day Nov 3 2025

[blessedw2]

we may have fallen back time wise - but we can jump ahead and start our day! Will the extra hour give you energy today?

I have already gotten used to the time in the morning (any time that I can veg out with my coffee as I look out to fall colors)but the evening -oh my gosh: I am ready for bed and then the time tells me: nope, not yet! lol - I am not buying it. Even the dogs know better - I am listening to the dogs and going to bed even though the time says "wait" "not yet".

it's Monday - have a great day!

What would you like to do today!

d Lucy how is your eye today? (sports injury!)

[blessedw2]

mom is awake - I need to get her up - I would like to wait until helper comes bc she is heavy for me even though she is a pixie. she was smily yesterday and we all had good conversations and memories (but healthy - she is doing great mentally!

I have a lovely morning - up early - dh fed dogs I let the dogs out, the sun is shining and the colors are amazing outside. Maples are gorgeous and even the oaks are changing.

time for me to get to work

meds first

[blessedw2]

my card I pulled today but will do it later.

Monthly check: (not to deeply)

What were you able to achieve, experience or learn from the past month?

evaluate your priorities in the past month and decide what to do with anything that did not align with your goals.

What will you focus on in the month to come that will give you joy while experience success?

what were you grateful for in October?

Good morning, everyone. We had even more area-wide electricity troubles last night than I reported. I guess this went on as whatever happened was cleared up and handled before any morning traffic started. I wonder if ds will know.

At any rate, a rather dismal night's sleep. But just the startling (adrenaline), not any real inconvenience of a long-term power outage, so I am grateful.

Feeling proud of myself for last evening's decision making and getting to some "finishes".
Thinking "forward" as blessed said rather than being too indecisive.

lucylee, I'm sorry you got bopped in the face by a plastic ball! So glad that was the extent of it. Do you have any bruising today? I mean.. .. anything beyond your usual undereye bags. Ducking and running fast.

High priced garments - yes, I would probably balk, too. I will admit that the items I have purchased through the years from more fashionable outlets have sometimes lasted longer. Like most people, for instance, catalogs come here all the time and have for years. Purchases from the inexpensive ones have been super practical very often. But the few I've decided to break down and order from "nice" catalogs have, in general, gotten more compliments. This may not have made any difference if my taste changed, however, or if I got the feeling folks had seen me in the same garment lots of times - see how that works? This was much more a puzzlement for me when I was attending church functions a couple times a week, and not having my trips out frowned upon by a doctor, lol.

This morning I have extra laundry, have to get back into the long phone line to make that appt I couldn't make Friday, We have deliveries today. Master bathroom spif needed.

Morning…waving to y’all

Walked with the sun coming up.

Been to class and our drumming one… my next one is at noon.

Completed my to-do list yesterday … forgot to turn one my dish washer last night so it’s going now. Have another odd load of laundry to do as well.

Will stop at WM grocery on my way home from class and then the pharmacy.

Sweetie is fading before my eyes and it’s obviously he can not understand/compute things I need to tell him. I got so frustrated with him over an issue we need to take care off I just said… I need a break .. and walked away. His thought process was of the wall… part of the disease. I am really angry at him for quitting his meds… so I will bang on my drums for an hour later in class

[Twins' Mom]

Good morning bw2! You're chipper this morning, I hope all is well at your home! Glad you got that arts/crafts show break on Saturday...

I'm up and about here, need to get rolling. I have workout this afternoon at two, and dh and I are going to a screening of episode one of Ken Burns American Revolution tonight. We'll have to get an early supper although there are light refreshments and a Q and A by a local historian/DAR lady.

I just got the Roomba going and I have our towels in the washer. It's a struggle on Monday mornings to get dh into the shower after his workout so I can take up the rugs for the roomba and the towels to wash. Breakfast now, dog is walked. I'll probably s2s after my workout before we go out.

((RR)) What a difficult place to be in. Can he/will he restart meds?

Harriet, so sorry for electrical woes. We had a strong storm - mostly wind and rain, maybe a little hail, move through in the late afternoon. Could that, moving east, affected you electricity?

bw2, you're always so upbeat! Glad your mom is having a good day.

[blessedw2]

finished washing and decluttering the cabinet under the sink - I really need to paint it again - but until January
I tossed stuff and put away all the things that I should have there.

dh went to get oven cleaner - I havent' kept up with my dawn power spray soap on the oven - lol I had told myself that I could rinse the oven monthly - lol - 6 months later and the oven is bad. I dislike oven cleaner but it is necessary.

I have to reduce my fancy cleaning products that I thought that I would try - lol they didn't work.

while waiting for dh then I will do another card from the kitchen.
mom is sleeping.

brother came this morning and mom was very good with brother. I think he was surprised. He is hurting and shouldn't have driven in as it's only been 2 weeks since his surgery - it's a two hour drive.
