Thursday PWYC

[Nancy]

I just had a long nap this morning made up for the not sleeping much last night.
My leg muscle was hurting night before last.
Had a good talk with my dsis, then bfast and crashed on the couch.
Doing much better now yea!
Too hot to do anything outside much anyway.

I figured out the crochet pattern again this morning but used a special stitch to start it with
the magic loop. We all need more magic in our lives.

CI:
Got the shawl ripped out that was not going the way I wanted.
The other one is great!
T-storms in the distance I hear clouds are bumping together a warning is up so far so good but 45 min. Should be in the clear.

We are having a cold rotisserie chicken tonight with some rice and watermelon for dessert.

Tomorrow night we will have the leftover chicken heated in gravy with mashed potatoes.

[Harmony]

Cathy, that's good eatin'!

I went down that rabbit hole..... trying to figure out the voting ballot. I was so confused so finally I called the county elections office and got the scoop on the ballot. Why so much stuff isn't on there is because there are quite a few running unopposed and we are a closed election state. We only get to vote on our party's people in the primary election. The General is when we vote for/against people from all the parties running. Okaaayy, now to do my searches. We've gone through all the mail stuff we get...but that's never the whole story.

Why do I feel like I get nothing done?

I find myself wondering how I used to clean a whole house in a day, Harmony. Of course that was over 20 years ago probably. I still wonder how it is that I don't accomplish more in a day. My routines seem to take at least all morning.

Dh and I got back about 1/2 hour ago from car inspection, groceries, favorite burger 'joint' for dinner and the post office. Groceries are put away. I'll put away the clean dishes before bedtime I think and that will leave a sparkling kitchen for morning.

I need to look to make sure dh has Xarelto tabs left for this weekend. It might be that I need to get them filled tomorrow. If so it'll mean a 20+-mile round trip. In that case I think I'll go to A ldi's for some things I need there. It'll only be about 8 miles out of my way to do that (instead of a 25 mile round trip if I do it by itself.) Try hard to combine our trips.

I was doing a l&&t of things that repeat throughout the year and discovered that somehow we've subscribed twice to " Sing ing N ews" for dh. I will look the 2 up and straighten that out tomorrow. Still see no refund on our S irrius account on our cc so need to contact them and straighten that out. Forever doing somebody else's job.

[Twins' Mom]

I don't think I mentioned this a.m. that we're supposed to be going to the local AA baseball game this evening. Dh is having his client night in a "skybox" tonight and the game is now a double header because they were rained out last night. And now it's raining and I'm listening to it online on a rain delay. I'm trying to delay my departure a few minutes because apparently they can may call a rainout. Off, now playing a recorded Tommy Lasorda interview from a few years back.

I'm trying to find something to wear that won't turn transparent if I get wet.

[Lady Maverick]

First coat of paint on north wall in DS14 bedroom. Since I am the slowest painter on the face of the earth, I only paint one wall at a time.

I worked on sorting more stuff from DS14 bedroom cleanout. I think about 95% of his clothes, shoes/boots, and coats are decluttered, washed, dried, and organized in his closet. I am going to be super strict on him being a slob with his clothes. My biggest regret with raising DS49 was letting him be a slob in his bedroom. After much effort I just gave up and shut his bedroom door. I don't want to make that same mistake with DS14. I have set new rules for him = all his clean clothes will be in his closet. All his dirty clothes will be in his bathroom. Absolutely no clothes are allowed in his bedroom.

DH and I are methodical with our clothing care. We do the exact same steps each day to take care of our clothes. We wash, dry & put away our clothes daily. So why do the kids we raise do the exact opposite? I need to find a way to stay up with this without becoming a daily bedroom inspection police person. I just sent DD11 a text and asked her to set a timer and spend 5 minutes cleaning her bedroom. Texting instead of talking might work.

well done d lady! I am the same way - re: painting the walls!
well done to both of you on decluttering.

hi d twins wish you get what you really want - if you don't want to go: I hope it rains out or your dh says," don't worry honey, stay home" or if you want to go then I hope it stops raining.

hello d dee I am the same way - at a younger age (even with my ADHD) I could move mountains! (well at least it felt like that - I was really strong when I was young).
hope you get ur refund soon

hi d harmony you do get things done - dd older says it feels that way bc you are used to doing things over and over -ur getting things done but it looks effortless

hi d cathy chicken and gravy yum!

hi d Nancy glad u had a nap
hope it starts cooling off for u

[blessedw2]
