I certainly need to do better with my night time routine. A bedtime routine that starts at 2:00 a.m. isn't really very useful, is it? Well -- it's useful -- I don't go to bed without brushing my teeth and taking my meds, but still... I could do better!
Today, I have done most of my laundry and I have clean sheets on the bed.
S/S bathrooms, but master bath still needs a lot of decluttering. I'm still in that zone of "What Cries Out" and the books and papers in the master bath/office and master bedroom are REALLY crying out.
I also had a bunch of errands to run --
* pay car insurance -- got a little bit of credit back since I cancelled truck insurance
* post office
* drug store
* Wmart
Also needed to go to the county agricultural office -- I forget what it's called --
we I (will I EVER adjust to THAT) I have some acreage planted in trees, which is part of a government program. They pay on a yearly basis and the trees are supposed to grow for 15 years, I think. It is probably one of those programs that some would consider waste, but it's a preservation thing, I believe. Dfil started this long before dh passed away, so we just kept it going and I will continue. The land is kinda low and swampy and if anyone wanted to buy it to build on, they'd probably have to bring in some dirt to build it up.
I have also worked on my memory book for dmom's birthday. I have about 35-40 responses. I hope some more will come in before the week is out, but I know it is going to be a surprise and she will enjoy reading these responses.
Tomorrow I will take her to the foot doctor and then Wednesday is D-day for me. I sure hope
Mystery is doing okay. I don't know exactly what her procedure is, but nothing that requires going to the hospital is a fun day in the park, is it? (((
Harriet))) -- I know you're probably nodding in agreement on that!
I can relate to your wish that the next grandson stays closer to home,
Harriet. DGS here, of course, has five years after this one before he will face college decisions, and he fully expects to go to AU, live in the condo we've had since his dad started there, and carry on the family tradition. I know a lot can change in five years, but I know it will pass quickly, also. And I would love to keep him right here, attending college at my alma mater, only two counties away!
Nancy -- glad you're safe from winds and earthquakes!
And I'm so glad
LadyM is seeing warmer temperatures!
And
Cathy, although you have a ways to go before you can break out flip flops, LOL...
I guess that's true, anyway. It seems no matter HOW cold it gets, If I go to town, I will see someone wearing shorts. I don't know how they do it -- or why.
Here, it was pleasant today, will be better tomorrow, and may break 70 degrees by Wednesday.
AND MAYBE, if the lab work is prompt, I will have my Christmas tree down by Fat Tuesday.
Twins, it looks like you have been whizzing around like the Roomba yourself! WTG!
I
am having trouble believing that February is almost over.
Part of my thing is trying to wrap my head around the fact that soon, I will be facing the one year anniversary of dh's death. I just can't really believe that, and when I think about it, tears still come. I can talk about dh and laugh about things he said or did, but I still can't really see ahead to the future.
But -- dgrands will be starting ball seasons soon, two schedules to keep up with, plus helping out when dgd's gymnastics conflicts with softball... dmom may be having surgery on that foot... life just keeps... happening.
Blessed hasn't checked in today, has she? Blessed -- hope your day has been good and all is well with your dmom and dh!
Hope you ALL have a good day tomorrow. See, this is what happens when I vow to do work before checking in with y'all -- I don't get here till everyone else is in bed!
But you are all in my thoughts!
