CI; with happy hen report!
Later this morning while h. was looking out the door after I told him about the missing hen he said one just black hen flew in on top of the coop and is probably coming home to eat! :mrgreen: I looked under the other black hen that is broody her sister and she is sitting on one egg.

I cooked up a Fathers day omelet for h. and it was of the Easter Eggers eggs 2 and they were both fertile.

I've been trying to balance my healing between rest and activity.

Spent too long on the computer this morning so spent most of 10 - 11 moving slowly, with a short break for some toast. Did 10 minutes of tidying in the kitchen and then gave myself a sponge bath and got dressed for the day. Spent another 10 minutes in the bedroom, changing the towels more tidying.

I've run a load of laundry (dh has to carry for me) and then I took an hour off and 'attended' church at my friend's church (listening to the service.) Flipped the laundry and had some cereal.

Ds just got home from his second Spartan run this weekend. He did the 7.3km in 1:23. He is really, really, sore! And tired (he worked overnight.) He is showered and eating bread now.

Dh is out in the pouring rain, washing the car. It makes sense in a strange way.

I'm going to watch an episode of Bewitched and try and work my way through some paperwork piles on the kitchen table.

Hello, villagers ~

Wishing safe travels for the Emptynesters.
Glad that Nancy's hen found her way back home. :)

It feels like I'm more or less on schedule for the goals I posted the other day. Probably should go back and check it, but I want to enjoy this possible-delusion awhile longer. ;)

I put a roast beef in the slow cooker with potatoes, onion, and carrots for supper. I'm hoping that DH will decide that is enough to skip going out for lunch so I can keep moving steadily on some dejunking.

Maybe we can finally have a fire in the back yard chiminea. I've wanted one for several weeks, but haven't been able to schedule it around the rain. The forecast says dry today and tonight.

Break time is over, back to work ....

This was started a while back - will finish up with my news but won't try to CUOP right now so have probably missed a lot

((Dee))

((Emptynester)) I hope the path seemed clearer later.

((Lilac)) Sometimes there's an explanation, sometimes we just say, "no, thank you".

((Kathryn)) Awww, wish you could have kept those meals. No, your weight is completely skewed now, you won't know that for a while.

The wedding found my ds and ddil right there - I worried for nothing.
The wedding was lovely and meaningful. I needed tissues. At the "I do" moment, my nephew said, "I,000 times, YES!" I would like to know how Aunt Harriet was supposed to make it through that without the kleenex? :lol: The flower girl rushed back to pick up the petals before she got into trouble for leaving a mess, her Daddy following, trying to stop her the whole way. My dbil officiated so well.

The reception was ruined by the photographer (or perhaps those who did not stop him), who kept the wedding party locked away in the sanctuary and outdoors so long that the social atmosphere in the fellowship hall went from pleasant and congenial to toxic and miserable. :evil: I told ddil that anyone would forgive her for wanting to get her little one away from there, so she and ds left. We had waited at least 1.5 hours twiddling our thumbs, with food spread on one long buffet table you could see but not approach. No one even had water, which we heard often from those around us. :o Many guests gave up and left. Many stayed but wouldn't eat because they were making a point, I think. My dfirstmil never got to speak to dnephew or bride - she's pretty strong at nearly 95, but not that strong. She was definitely wilting, and finally said to us that she just wanted to go home. She was only able to wave at the couple from a distance. We finally left with another nephew's family, also small children who just couldn't stand it any more. They said they were going to find a McDonalds. :oops:

HRH got the 3 boys' shirts through the dryer before their parents got home and realized he'd let them soak each other with water pistols. :D Of course, they immediately told it! They had macaroni and cheese and lots of it - we were jealous!

Dd33's family is away :( . We really tried to make it to church this morning but everything just went wrong and we gave it up.
A very social weekend anyway.

Dh put up ceiling fan #2. It's a replacement for the living room fan/light. Of course, he ran into problems with the wiring. The guy who built it, soldered everything, instead of twisting the wires and covering them with a wire nut. Also, when he disconnected the old fan, the fans in the 2 dining areas plus the stairway light went off. It didn't flip a breaker, but broke the circuit. Once the new fan was up, everything was fine.

Dd2 and her dh went to several open houses today. Her dh is wanting to put an offer in on one of them. They have looked at it 3 times in the last few weeks. It's the most expensive that they have looked at and the property taxes are high. That is the sticking point for dd2. I will gladly help them move again.

I took a 2 hour nap that seemed like a 3 hour nap. Then I got up, took my pain pill and had another small meal (other half of the burger.)

Dh wants pizza for dinner tonight. That's all right by me, I just won't be having any of it. Probably not for a long time. I have a couple of frozen meals to choose from - either pot roast, lasagna or maybe a small salmon filet with some mashed sweet potatoes.

The house desperately needs groceries but I can't think of meal planning yet. Especially since I'm making 6 a day at this point.

Good afternoon! It's been a busy weekend, up until a couple of hours ago, for me. Yesterday I picked up dh at the airport when he came home, we relaxed awhile, then went to the festival again last night. We were very late getting home - 1:00 a.m. I slept poorly and slept in until 9:30 this morning.

When I got up today I read the paper, had coffee and breakfast and walked the ddogs, then we went to "market" where we bought cut flowers, peaches and country style ribs that dh will grill this evening. Also a had a 20 minute massage in front of thousands of people who walked by....

Then I napped away the afternoon - I still have a headache in spite of ibuprofen and napping. Dh is at pool and I'm debating going up there but can't seem to get it together. (Also, I stink!) Also debating whether I should make a peach cobbler for tonight when we don't have vanilla ice cream to go with it. :?

So I'm going to throw on a swim suit and walk up to the pool for a little while.

193 miles - set up with 50 amp full hookup (that means I can run both rooftop ACs)

Hot coming here but only 82 here. Felt like a fridge walking out of the MH.

We said we were going to do 230. Either 230 miles or 2:30 PM which ever came first and the 2:30 pm came first.

I have some chili laid out that I will mix with some freshly cooked pasta for chili mac.

Other than that - I'm going to enjoy the free WIFI and the free cable TV.

HUGS TO ALL

MT - so glad to see you successfully launched with a good day on the road. I like the 230 goal. Very smart.

Just finished texting and calling a long list of people. DSon was 3 hours into his drive headed here when I called him. He is still coming to visit. Now I'm at loose ends. Not sure what I'm going to do with myself.

When in doubt.........Do the D's! :)
