SHEs Organized

Productive, but I realized I HAD to get the soup going in the crockpot. It goes 6 to 8 hours (eek!) on low with beef chuck, barley and dried porcini mushrooms. Best part is that it all gets dumped in the crockpot, stirred, and then walk away. It's from NYT - gift link to recipe: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/102 ... =share-url

I just heard garage door opened by dh, coming home for lunch. Will restart at 12:30 and try again.

CI ~ had a nice long qt today still in pj's at 9:30
but have made progress on my a.m. journal / planning reset.
It feels like I"m getting my QT revived yea!
had bfast

OMM ?
More to do on that reading scripture has to be restarted ~ still deciding on that...

I need to change the tablecloth and do more putting away of Christmas Decor items.
Sheets to start when I go to the basement for my walk about down stairs. Started sheets.
Next put in dryer.

Later
Make soup from left overs later on today might do up rolls too go with it.

Q. Other reading has not started yet either on my TBR pile
what are you reading or have to read...did one of these.

Waving to all!

waving hi - heading out for errands
dh went to b & nobles

Bookie - glad to see you!

(((Harriet))) Keeping you in my thoughts. BWTG with knowing what and when to make the treatment work the best.

We are home from a quick trip to the city. We now have 3 prescriptions and $300+ of food/drinks.
No starving teens happening here.

what are you reading

I'm guessing reading blogs, social media posts and this forum doesn't count?

I wonder if I can put my feet up for an hour and watch something on Netflix? I'm going to try it.

Ugh. The website/invoicing/set up issues have raised their ugly head. The gal who set up the website - and did it for free, BTW, assured me that we could do this, but has no idea how to work out some of the issues. We have to get our account approved for "outgoing" payments back to us, and must have a way to add credit card fees to the payments. Otherwise, we lose money. So I must make that phone call and try to get it figured out.

I still have not finished clearing the kitchen island, particulary since I peeled carrots and onions and put ingredients into the crockpot on it. That will finish a.m. routine.
-kitchen island clean up
-Clean CPAP stuff that did not get replaced.
-take out kitchen garbage
-straighten bathroom and mbr
-clean the egg on the stovetop
-make DPC

I'm ambitious today. Getting a lot done, but sidetracked a lot too. Not getting much of the Hanukkah things put away but I will. Maybe tomorrow.

Thinking of Harriet and her infusion today and hoping all is going well.

LM, I know what you mean about buying the processed stuff for the kids. It was same here. They are better away now of what they eat.

Exhausted after 3 hours of cleaning has only resulted in the living room and dining room looking better but only at 95%, not 100.

Not sidetracked, but niggly things needed addressing and those added to the work. Things like adjusting the drapes in front of the patio doors so they are now on either side (in summer they are on one side only to avoid being sucked into the open screen) and trying to fix a string of white lights (which are now part of the 5% still to be dealt with, they need to find a storage home.)

I need to fold a load of laundry and put the Christmas linens in it, into the final bin to go to the basement.

I ordered dgd's present which should arrive tomorrow.

Tonight is pub night for the complex where we meet over at a pub. I'd rather not go but dh really wants to go. My issue is that he'll want to share fish and chips for dinner and I'm trying to have a couple of days eating healthily before bloodwork. I'm simply giving up on that but I did point out to dh that he's sabotaging me.

Weekly hike done 98% of my steps are done for the day.
Doing laundry helps with stairs no need for a stair-master here! LOL!
Lunch later taking a breather now.
Sheets are dry folded and put away.

I agree, Kathryn, it's the "other" stuff that comes up along the way. "While I'm here I should...."

Time for the DPC. If I had known she didn't know how to set this up, I would have thought twice about it. Since the bank info and payment etc. is "confidential" she says, she never does it.

So apparently there's no phone number only the AI chat bot. Getting worse and worse.
