SHEs Organized

Thanks blessed

((RR)) I'm so very sorry that Sweetie is progressing visibly. I hope the medication change will help.

More ta das but I'm floundering....
-dog walked two laps in "feels like" 25 degrees
-talked (mostly listened to her vent) to dd for over 30 min about work issues
-pulled out pine cones and natural materials to replace dreidels and hanukkah decor (some of that done while listening to dd

I still need my breakfast/brunch, lots to do on a.m. routine and dailies and more on my list. I'm frustrated now from listening to dd too.

junk Roi came and the old couch is gone!
mom had kugelhopf French toast, eggs, ham slice and oranges fresh from Florida -she loves a good breakfast considering what a tiny woman she is. I think she will be disappointed that tomorrow is oatmeal

we need to get mom's meds at Walgreens

(((RR & Sweetie)))

nice for the young man to validate what he thought

Being kind to others is underrated IMHO.

I lightly sprinkled cayenne pepper on the hash brown potatoes as they were cooking in a cast iron skillet this morning. What was I thinking?! And even weirder....we discovered that we like the depth of flavor it gives.

Our home is humming along....
** Our trash to the road before 7am to beat the trash truck.
** DD13 is at public school with no problems....other than making her wash hair twice in a row. I will certainly be glad when she is past this phase of not taking best care of her body. Hummm...she has appt with counselor tomorrow, so I need to bring this up.
** Homeschool assignments are ready for DS16. He is putting a few hours in at work before doing school.
** DFriend text asked for help with her trash pickup. She doesn't like the cold weather and she also has a baby in the house. We have repeatedly told her to let us know if we can provide assistance.
** Potatoes are scrubbed & cooking in the Instant Pot. We go through 1-3 potatoes a day and having them ready-to-eat is a huge help.
** I let our 2 dogs outside this morning and Tomas instant left the yard. He has discovered a way to sqeeze through gate that leads to neighbors back yard. Then he can exit the neighbor's back yard through another gate that opens to the neighborhood. Their 2 dogs don't go through either of the gates because they have wireless fence buried with collars on dogs. At least the mystery is solved of how Tomas is getting out.

Trying not to multi-task and keep my focus on doing one thing at a time....
** Revised and updated spreadsheets that I use to help me stay on top of a wide variety of must do's. I combined the way I was using spreadsheets the last 2 years. Any topic that isn't proven to be vitally useful was eliminated. I only want to track data that helps me
** Found, washed and installed waterers and feeders in the dog kennels. We are keeping the way we normally feed/water these 2 dogs but need a temporary method while going through this extreme cold weather.
** Ordered an extender for TV headphones. DH is now using headphones to listen to the big TV. I don't watch TV (or want to listen) so appreciate the SILENCE that this change brings me.
** Potatoes out of instant pot and cooling before I package them for refrigerator.
** Country fried steaks cooking in air fryer for family.

I got stuck after talking with (listening to) dd. I'm finally eating a late brunch.

I never got a clear plan going for myself for today. I'm wondering if I should go to the grocery today instead of tomorrow. I'm seeing we may have winter weather beginning on midday Friday - will it be crazy at the store if I wait until tomorrow? So I think I'll run the two errands out for today, and then go to grocery and stock up. Could be snowed in for weeks, you know.

Our power just blinked off and on and took internet awhile to come up. Wonder if cold weather is causing a strain on electric resources? Our furnace is gas but needs electricity to operate. It's only 35 degrees, probably warmer than yesterday and wind has dropped.

MId morning CI / did some knitting.
Started a load of laundry.
Un-decorated the living room & Dining room. Most of ihat decor is down stairs I'll take more down with the next load.
I have fetched the mail it was junk dealt with that & brought the can back in.

You gals are so inspiring happy to be here today.
Sun is still out yea!

I can honestly say I am truly trying but am not seeing much progress -and my ADHD isn't a problem at this moment
I still have morning dishes in the sink, clean dishes in the dw, dirty: microwave, stove and counter.

I did go through the mail and bills have been paid, mom had a breakfast/meds and has changed her cloths and actually drank 1/2 a cup of water. She is now going through her purse (for the last half hour). I have French music on and she sings along every so often.
I try to add parts of her childhood to her experiences here. It makes her happy and many times she dances during the day. (she always danced with her sisters in our homes).

it's 20 degrees and I hope to get her meds with her soon.

waving to each and everyone of you!!!

It's 12:26 already wow
