[Bama]

Good morning! Happy Friday!

Kittykatt, do I have you to blame (because of this week’s topic) for perusing flower and seed catalog emails and wanting to order it all? The warm weather may have something to do with it too. It’s shorts and tshirt weather here. Do you enjoy the alone time? I would get much more done, I believe, if dh went away for a weekend lol. When his mom was still living at home, he would travel there for the weekend to help tend to her and I would have his cluttered areas all in order, it would take 2 days to be back to the way it was. Now I know to toss, I can’t get him organized for anything. If he doesn’t see it, he doesn’t miss it. Let’s keep that our little secret.

Helia, safe travels. The return to normalcy always gives me a boost of energy to attack my house again. Hope it does you as well, after maybe a little rest time.

Gma, your plants are much hardier than ours. I do wish we could grow some of your plants here, I love lilac and others that wouldn’t do well in our heat. It’s nice that you found part of your furniture but left a little to do each day. No rush. Could the bank print missing statements if needed?

LAnn, hope you enjoyed the sleep in and get some quiet time.

Kitkat, a rest day is always good for muscles to recover.

[Doggedly]

Good morning, all. Thank you for starting us off, Kittykatt. I did enjoy the movie. It was not a revelation like The Matrix or The Terminator, both of which I saw long, long after their theatre run was over but Die Hard was fun enough and now I know what people are referring to.

Good night, Gma. WTG on getting those chairs cleared off.

Oh, I hope that your DH has a good trip this weekend, Kittykatt, and that you make lots of progress on your goals.

Safe trip home, helia.

Hi, kitkat. We don't have deep snow here, as the temperature has been up and down, but we have a decent covering of the ground.

I have gotten to the end of Page 1, so it is time to get up and do things.


Friday
Cleaned after dog X 2
Treats for dog
Put on a pot of coffee
Turned the plants in the sunlight
Put on a pot of rice
Wiped down standing desk with a damp cloth
Looked into virtual machines
FACE: checking what payments have been taken
Realized that I had only rotated the top shelf of plants and I have two more shelves of plants being ignored
Rotated the rest to benefit from the the sunlight
Found the Christmas arrangement actually limp from lack of water. It was watered at the same time as the other plants, so I don’t know what its problem is. Thirsty plants do not tend to do well with me.
Watered the thirsty plant.

Hi Peaches!
L Ann, glad you have sun. We do too! WTG with all the walking and going through the binders.
I've never seen Die Hard, Doggedly, but I'm aware there's a debate out there about whether or not it is a "Christmas movie"'.
What sort of work out did you do yesterday, kitkat? I'm hoping to get into a regular exercise routine this month.

It is sunny here! The temps were warmer in Seattle BUT there wasn't much sun. The sun makes a big difference. There is also a couple inches snow on the ground; more fell while we were away. It's a beautiful day.

Next:
- veg for a bit - and probably nap
- get out for a walk (too cold for a jog)
- lists in notebook

Later:
- lists in notebook
- put away old puzzle
- set up new puzzle
- walk/ jog?
- relax
- dinner: out with dh? Or pull something from freezer?
- after dinner clean up
- duolingo
- update health apps

TaDas!
- up at an ungodly hour
- spiffed myself
- packed last minute items
- everything in bnb is neat
- messaged bnb to let them know we are leaving
- car loaded - dh and the girls
- message from F @ 3:45 a.m. as we were driving; she was up with little I
- through security
- board when we can
- fly SAFELY home
- email catch up on plane: EP
- deplane and get luggage
- drop off girls at their place
- drive HOME
- unload car
