SHEs Organized

Joining TV those who were up & down in the night.
Slow start but I do have part of tne kit. Table cleared sl that is something.

It is good to 'see' you, MT. Between you and me and I'm sure others from time to time.......... Remember when Elizabeth couldn't get on at home for some time.

Well.....this morning was anything but "wild & crazy". I snoozed, deep enough to have a nightmare (or would that be a 'day'mare?) Then snoozed off again. Now I'm (obviously) up and maybe I can accomplish something. Think I'll at least work on my 2 'projects' for the day. Might even walk out to the road to get the mail.

Just pulled out one large bag of several (thick) files that I had been absolutely dreading. Hmmm...it was all divided into file folders of different years, going back to 2006. It's all the monthly statements, etc from our investment company, Have fired off an email to see how much and if I need to keep any of it! Way too much to shred and I don't want to carry it back to NY to burn. Hmmmmm.....may end up doing that anyway. So it took me all of 2 minutes for that one!

Good Afternoon! I have 9 more min. of morning here. Tax lady visited this morning, stopped next door to talk to car insurance guy, had breakfast at the Inn and stopped for a few groceries. The rest of my day will be emptying the clothes totes and getting all that back in shape and hung up. I so hate this job! I know it has to be done and plan to do it right, which means a pile of give-aways too.

I was reading Cowinkie's post to Mr. Guy and we both are knocked over when we learn something new about Sweetie. With all the time these two spend on the phone you would think that had all been discussed. Nope! He is not a "look what I've done" type of guy. We were just laughing and shaking our heads. What an interesting guy he is.

Our "foster-daughter" did not make it last night, but called early this a.m. and she will be spending tomorrow night with us. She has a lot to do preparing for M's "Irish wake" on Saturday. I am so glad she is doing this up here in their old hometown. Then she will do it again in their present town in Arizona.

Here's hoping you all have a great day.

Hi everyone. What is going on in this village? We need Mr. Sandman to come around and sprinkle sand everywhere.....I was up quite a bit, coughing last night. So I slept in and missed my Sisilaw at the door when I was in the shower. She's an early bird and gets up 4ish and always surprises me at some stage of unready.

Lucylee, I do hope DMil's tests were not hard on her.

OKay, love the mower idea. I used to love pushing ours around when I was little, though I never learned I had to finish a job or even to go in straight lines... Did the tooth fairy come?

Ran to bank with our tenant rent cash...always grateful to get some of that. Been working on paperwork. I did a bunch last evening after my church meeting which ended early. I have the whole month / quarter / and miscellaneous forms, spreadsheets, records, all done. Very good progress. I guess with all that's been going on around here I wasn't sitting down to do miscellaneous stuff and it all showed up at once.

Now I have to go out and mow the lawn. I have a serious case of donwanna. I got up and put on nicer clothes than normal and my hair has been all curled, etc., I don't feel like getting all dusty, etc., but if I don't I'm afraid DH will get on the tractor...

Yep, Maxwell Smart - that's the guy!

Yeah, OKay!
Tooth-is-gone day!
That's great,
at any rate.
I'm happy for LO,
who must be SO
happy today
that his tooth's out and away.
Now the Tooth Fairy comes.
Hum-dee-dee-domes....
I wonder if he'll get a dollar.
Oh, how he'll holler!
This brings back memories sweet,
when my little ones were neat
and small and very cute.
Why do they grow up? Shoot!
Yes, it's a wild & crazy Wednesday!
It's a good day to work & play, I say.

I've s2s early, dressed, stripped the bed, wrote a letter. Will wash 1 lol = sheets, 1 lol = towels & facecloths. DH is mailing a pkg. to dgrson-turning 3, getting a haircut, then will get mail.
I tried a new bread company's breads yesterday/today. Had a pumpkin muffin yesterday, which made me burp-burp-burp. Had French toast from their country loaf of bread for dinner w/a fried egg. This a.m., I ate an orange scone, which made me burp-burp-burp, then my ankles started throbbing terrible, even my lower lip was throbbing and swelling. I have low BP, rarely swell up from sodium, but this bread must have too much salt in it. I'm not fond of the way I'm feeling, so told DH maybe it's not for me, after all.

I sent away for a pen pal booklet, listing pen pals in it, today. I ordered another pen pal news sample copy of their newsletter, too, the other day. I'm looking for an Alaska pen pal.

Everybody, have a great day! This is just a quick C. I.

Pulled out a project for 'tomorrow' -a travel file. Been going through many papers in there -designating most to a 'burn' pile. I'll probably take this pile home with me since there's nowhere to burn it here. We have a chimnorea at the campground where I can legally burn this stuff. I'll just pack it all in one box and label it (what a concept!) then I'll sit by the fireplace one day and just burn away. I had emailed our investment counselor to see how much I had to save and her response was that we could save none or all of it -however we decide. We can always get info from there or online if we need it. So....I've decided that if dh keeps no more than 5 years that's plenty. We simply don't have storage space. My big project this summer will be to try to clean out our storage area. There's a lot of paper work in there. Some is even (how I ended up with it, is anybody's guess) from ds-A's business back in 2005. Will ask if he wants/needs any of it and I'll burn that too.

Dsonil is out mowing -must be in the air. Know dd won't be home today until late.

I was trying to transfer files from my old netbook to this laptop. Can't get it to detect the transfer cable, though it shows up on both computers. Maybe I'll just go the ol' e-mail to myself route. Was hoping for a faster solution.

Now my old computer is shutting down, BUT first it had 39 updates!

Dmil was home by the time I started back to the hospital... all that remained to do was to get a stool sample... which she supplied... but dh had to collect... with a little bit of help from me... and dh and I are both awfully squeamish about all this. Ugh ugh ugh...
So then I took THAT to the hospital lab...
Dmil seemed no worse for the wear, but dh is VERY anxious that she not forget her meds. This is going to be VERY difficult to oversee, unless we start making 3 trips a day and watch her take it each time. Dmil cannot remember ANYTHING.
Went to the bank...
Talked to ddil for a while on the phone -- she had also been to the (same) doctor this morning. SHE was up all night with horrible back pain, nausea, etc... and he sent her for an immediate urine analysis. She said at this point she is pretty positive herself that it is a kidney or bladder infection, and doctor went ahead and prescribed antibiotic, pain med, and anti-nausea med.

We have really been keeping that doctor busy this week, haven't we?

Once dh & I got home, we found we had to call Directv technical assistance for the 3rd time since Monday... and they are sending us a new receiver ASAP. DH retired to the bedroom to watch the Braves and I have been on the couch ever since. I did manage to dust behind the tv while we had it pulled out. (It is not a flat-screen... on the contrary, it is a HUGE Sony that insisted 4 people were required to unload. DH and ds did it on their own, but I was sure one of them was going to be crushed in the process and die.)
I also sewed button back on dh's pants, a casualty of his morning adventure.

WTG, LO!!!

I am very impressed, Cowinkie, w/Sweetie's inventions. That is amazing!

Hope dd has a great trip, helia!

Glad to see MT back with us, and certainly hope Mr. MT gets some quick relief.

Hmmm... (((Harmony))) Don't you just HATE that, when you're all cleaned up and then have to "waste it" doing something that will get you all sweaty... Phooey. But I can certainly see why you want to beat dh to the mower...

Dee -- I tried to get dmom to burn a bunch of papers. She says she "has to" get a load up to go to the landfill "someday."
* sheesh *

Waving to Ivy... Norma... Nancy... Harriet... and all to come!
