Thresher Shark Thursday

[Gma]

WOW that's some tail on that shark! Thanks for the beginnings, kittykatt!
I am up early, (for me!) and need to be OTD in 45 minutes to be with dfBS at the hospital. She got "bad news" yesterday, and we are seeing cariology and palliative care today. She has nemaed me her medical advocate - essentially a power of attorney for health care - as she has no one else here, although she has many friends, especially from church, plus people with whom she worked at the college, who do visit her in her house.
My hppy news today is ds notified me that the company with which he has his new job, stock price is up $4.33 yesterday! I bought 100 shares before my trip. so I've made >$400 dotay before getting out of bed! On paper only of course, but fun to watch profit!
Gotta scoot!

LAnn sounds like a great morning:)
Dogged you can always count on laundry.

Did those,

for recycle.
gathered exp. meds
filled pot w soil for rooted pothos

My shoulder and back are screaming... so I'm taking a break. Maybe I should do those shoulder exercises?

Next - while laundry is going
make the beds

[Kittykatt]

Hello everyone!

Yay for extra money, Gma!

WTG on decluttering emails, Bama!

Yay for a working dishwasher, L.Ann!

Enjoy your slow (er) morning, Helia!

Shoulder exercises are always helpful, KitKat. WTG on all the decluttering!

Cheering you on with the laundry, Dogged! My cleaning cloths are currently going through the machine.

It's been a good day. I managed to hoover the car and run errands before church and before the rain came. Church was thought provoking and we had a good discussion over coffee. Jude was a little angel at the vet, and has lost another 40 grams (just over 1.5 ounces). The rain was just drizzle on the way there, but then became heavy on the way back. Fortunately I didn't have to go out again!

More good news, roofer L has texted with a quote, and it was a lot less than I was expecting. I've confirmed acceptance. He will sort out the start date, as we're going to be "fitted in" with his other jobs. (In the scheme of things, our job is considered a "nice little job" so if a big job is completed early, he'll come and do ours.) This means we may mot get much notice, but that's fine, there's usually someone home. I'm just grateful he's able to come. Handyman MJ has also texted - the doors should be delivered next week, so we have a provisional date of 13th for him to come and work on the kitchen.

I've also cleaned and decluttered another shelf in the tall cupboard in the kitchen.

Oh dear on your shoulder pain, kitkat. Did resting help it?
He he Doggedly! I'm heading to the laundry room next to grab the 2nd lol.
I don't think I've ever seen a red winged blackbirds here, L Ann. I grew up recognizing them as a common bird in Central Illinois. No robins here now either. They'll come back in the spring.
WTG organizing the workmen, Kitty! Nice that the quote is lower than expected.

Things to remember tomorrow:

Message painter J re painting the outside of the house this year (I think we're going to have to wait quite a while, as I know he has a backlog due to the weather, but that's ok)

If wet (rain is expected!):
Clean oven
Cupboard shelves left to do:#4#5#
Junk drawer
Wax floor
Can I start cutting out those tablecloths?
