SHEs Organized

Noontime hen chores are done now. Got a surprise today the other hens eggs are hatching out now 1st of her's made an appearance today, it is yellow, not fluffed out or dry yet. So really newly hatched. I am glad I decided to wait another week.

Spiff up outside and watered the front yd. Pulled a few weeds.

I enjoyed your wisdom posts, Ladies.

My wisdom is from FlyLady, too. Do it now! Procrastination is from perfectionism. A peaceful-looking uncluttered environment means peace in the home and in our minds, as well. Putting out hot spots is a good thing to do daily, as well as to declutter for 15 minutes a day, throw away "stinking thinking," and remember to pace, which means baby-stepping our days, so we don't crash and burn. Some of these things are from P & P, too, and also, I've read similarities at health websites, for people who have arthritis, depression, or fibromyalgia or anything, pacing and baby-stepping is good. Also, a wisdom is to move, exercise, and it helps with feel-good endorphins, which means we feel better in our minds, we bless our hearts, and we're better about to kick "stinking thinking" to the curb because we love ourselves, first, and then it melts on into our dfamilies, pets, and home.

I slept in until 9 a.m. That's late for me, but got my s2s, shampoo, and eyebrows on. I washed 1 LOL, am trying to do ONE LOL daily, so I'm not doing 4 and overdoing. I'm running the DW now. I dusted and dust mopped the bedroom and walk-in closet. I re-decorated the bedroom, too. I wrote a dfriend a letter, took recycle from my small office, to DH because he was standing at the recycle bin. He held the lid open, I threw the bag in, and it's nice to have it done. Tomorrow's garbage/recycle day. I dumped trash and put in a fresh tall kitchen bag into the tall kitchen garbage can in the pantry, too, to help DH out. I rewrote the grocery list. I was cranky because of a weight gain this a.m. and took it out on DH, but later apologized to him, saying "It's my responsibility to know how to eat healthy and it has nothing to do with you. I emotionally eat, I'm upset about a Sept. root canal and Dr. appt." I'll journal my fears and anxious feelings, concerning these two things, which are actually minor because I've been there before! I've had root canals AND physicals, so what is my silly problem??? I'm a bit "miffed" at my molar because the root canal has to happen during our wedding anniversary week. The cost irks me, as we pay out-of-pocket because of no dental insurance. I feel terrible about costing DH too much money, exclaim I wish I had dentures like him and he gives me a very serious look and states, "NO YOU DON'T WANT DENTURES!" So, taking good care of my teeth is a good thing. I can't help it if a nerve's dying in my molar. All I know is, my dentist is very gentle, he does root canals and I'm so grateful I need not to go to another different endodontist's office, to have it done. I know everyone at my dental clinic, many of them are Christians, and they give TLC, which is very nice. ♥ So this nonsense of eating non-stop from dinnertime to bedtime is so useless and embarrassing. I have projects to do in the evenings, too. And I have peppermint Lifesavers to suck on, too. Anyway, my biggest Wednesday Wisdom is, to be sure to take care of "me", be good to myself, pamper myself, use lotions, etc.... And it makes life so much more manageable in so many ways! It pours over into relationships with DH, our family, neighbors, dfriends, here, with my co-writers, pen pals and others I come into contact with in my life. I guess it's the ripple effect. If you're happy inside yourself, your relationships, home, and job, if you have one, all show it.

I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE ♥ today's opener, Kathryn! I could visualize you in your robe, the setting where you are and the smells, so clearly. Thanks for sharing your picturesque morning with us.

Have a wonderful Wednesday full of Wisdom, Everybody!

Getting ready to set up my loom. Moved the ent. Center after I moved the toy zone over a bit and unloaded the books, dvds, puzzles, and blankets. Then replaced them all. So I can move the loom but I will need help from h. To do that.

'Tis quiet around here. Never came back to our place with DGS9 till 11:30 this morning. I slept very badly last night and was tired & kept dozing and of course dgs was having a field day watching Qubo.

$$ for our car finally went into our bank account during the night, but our salesman is off today. So pretty sure we will be picking the car up tomorrow morning. At least I hope so. Dh had to tell his boss so he could tell him why he needed a couple of hours or so. He has to sign the title so has to go (and as well he WANTS to).

Just warming up dh's dinner -slowly. Hope it's ready pretty soon. I just finished some potato salad a friend gave me after a get together on Monday. It's absolutely the best I've ever had.

Well, we're back to dh and I going to FL together. Seems dcampowner has told friend he would drive his truck down when we close the camp. I was rather looking forward to getting out of here early.

I don't think I have any wisdom...

I am just glad to be back online. I have a new modem now. That was the only stone left unturned last week.

I've enjoyed reading wisdom from all of you, though! I, too, try VERY hard to remember your dmom's advice, Harriet... and I am trying very hard to follow the do it now philosophy. I still fall short on that one waaay too often, but I do know it takes much more energy and time to THINK about doing something than to JUST DO IT.

Right now, though, there is too much I need/want to DO and I can't do it all NOW...
In about 10 minutes I have to leave the house and go get supper...
and I'd like to be
* vacuuming while dh is in the shower
* typing church minutes
* organizing photos
* organizing books (phone tech's visit made me rethink the LIBRARY that was being built on my nightstand and I took all but three books away... but they are not in good places at the time.)
* paying attention to the focus zone -- the dining room, right?
* watering hydrangeas
* calling my dmom
-- sheesh -- too much to do!!!

Hello again! I have eaten a good lunch, but it did not agree with me. Not sure why. I also cooked some meat for the freezer to make it easier for me to continue eating well. I have applied for 3 jobs, taking breaks to study Java. (I need to finish up with the Java book. It belongs to the library, and I cannot keep it checked out indefinitely!) It does not look good for the exercise plan tonight, but I will try to get in something after the animal org meeting. I have less than 10 minutes before I have to get ready for the meeting, so I don't think I have time for exercise right now.

Other things I would like to get done after the meeting: checkbook balance, deposit check from parents, file for cat meds reimbursement from animal org, MBR work (FLyLady's zone this week), and work in the sewing room (AKA dungeon).

Sitting here with ds looking for a place for him to live. Nothing affordable is available.

The house has officially sold so he'll have to be out by October 9.

So will we, for that matter!

Not sure how I feel about that.

Dh and TGF are up at the lodge to watch Up!

We had a good day today. Mostly ds and I playing games and TGF and dh reading. I did laundry in the morning.

Dinner tonight was sauteed pork chops. They worked out well. Also carrots, dh's pan fries, bread and we'll have berries and ice cream for dessert when the others get back.

Ds and dh show cold symptoms. Sigh...

Chick CI: back from doing dinner hen chores 2 more have arrived under the third and final hen to hatch out eggs. One more black and a brown striped one. The other one that hatched earlier was fluffy out of nest cheeping loudly until I tucked it in safely with the mom. That is 8 total chicks now.
Hens are making chocking sounds. It is a busy place and I have to be careful where I step! It is warm and humid in the coop perfect for egg hatching. I will need to clean and refill waterers again tonight after h. Gets home and toddlerN wakes up.
BTW ~They love squash peels!

Off to bed now. I'm currently beating ds at Gin but our games go to at least 150 and I'm not there yet.

Ds says he loves the cabin having a kitchen. It does give us much more room to be a family without being on top of each other. The expense on the other hand is amazing so we'll make changes to next year's bookings and book the kitchen cabin along with two of the regular rooms. Dd most likely will not be able to come with us so we can cancel one of the two rooms if she can't.

She noted today that she will be starting IVF around the due date of the baby she lost, had that baby carried to term. If that round works, she'll be due in July next year, and I'm pretty sure she won't want to fly with a month old baby. Moving our holiday up into June doesn't work either because she won't fly that late in the pregnancy. So the only question is whether or not we maintain our booking for next year at all. I think we like the cabin enough that we will.

I can't imagine Unc still being alive then, so flying in for Whitepoint and straight home should work well for us.
