Monsieur Jules Elie Peony Monday @ TDD - C&C

[Bama]

Dogged, I hope your joints are warming up steadily.
Kittykatt, reading about your gardening is very relaxing.
I’m trying to get dh in the right headspace for when he retires. It’s not going to be all history shows, served meals in bed and chauffeured around.

Done:
Pets fed, some litter scooped, hot spots on floors cleaned up, pee pad added to foyer box
Brush: Toby, Jeremy
Meds: Tux, Little Man, me
Dh fed and given things to do (work on his room, polish kitchen cabinets I can’t reach)
Weighed
Breakfast
Dusted
Kitchen - unload dw, decide what’s for dinner and prep (beef patties in gravy if they thaw in time, creamed potatoes, peas and carrots)
Dinner cooking
Finish litter boxes
Vacuum
Laundry - put away pet blanket and towel, put my clothes in dryer
Polished bottom cabinets in kitchen, both bathrooms, and wood pieces in living room and foyer
Bible
Paper - planner, log medical dates and distances, emails, list out the weeklies/monthlies for June, take body measurements
Exercises
Eat a snack

Do:
Meds: dogs
Trim dog nails if they cooperate
Mani pedi for me
Finish cooking
Water plants inside and on porch
Feed outside animals
Walk dogs

I can't hear you, helia. I'm hiding from the furries in my couch cushion fort.

Thanks, Bama. By this time of day, my joints are in working order, and any delays in housekeeping are down to moral failures, LOL.
If that is how your DH pictures his retirement, then I am sure that he has plans to hire a maid, a cook and chauffeur so that you can also retire, right?

Germane is now awake, so it's a good time to take her out for a carry.

[Bama]

lol Dogged, we have an invasion of furries here too. Shedding season seems year round.
I made the comment that it must be nice to have someone pick the slack when you can’t (or won’t) do something and he replied he wouldn’t know. So now I’m plotting his (fill in the blank). Supper will be very quiet.

And that, Bama, is why I never married. It would have led to jail time.

It looks like you and Little Bit found lots of great non-tech activities, L.Ann.

I did take advantage of this beautiful day, and got Germane out for a carry. I got to greet various neighbours, which is a summer pleasure. Speaking of summer pleasures, I have neopolitan ice cream sandwiches in the freezer.

LOL Doggedly!! How is the hide out working for you?
LOL Bama!! And . . . was supper quiet? How long did DD stay with you? I guess she's going to her own place tomorrow.
That's quite a list of accomplishments, L Ann. I need some days like that to get ready for guests.

Our dinner guests have just left. We've tidied things up - we ate take out (Thai food) outside so not much to do - and the dw is running. It is now 9:35ish.

It's working out a little too well, helia. This morning's sense of urgency is gone, but the work is not all done.
That's an early start for you. You must be about ready to wrap things up for the night.

[Gma]

helia, Thai takeout plus eating outside sounds like an easier way to host guests. hooray for getting dw running, and bed early so you can get up early.
doggedly, it's great that Germane enjoys her "carries." She must be very little - I think you have said so.

dfBS is transitioning in her thinking process to wondering about what hospice might mean for her. Please pray for her - for her peace of mind, for clarity and comfort in care decisions, and confidence in faith.

I have to be back at the hospital (half hour away) by 0930 in the morning, so I better get to bed soon.
Maybe 10 minutes of crochet? Plus focused prayers for her.
oh, yeah, I washed my sheets - I guess I have to make my bed too!
