SHEs Organized

Retirement goal accomplished. Doggedly, who really needs to get out more, is going to a concert this afternoon. I've been hemming and hawing over it for a week now. For introverts, outings are like dying in that you know you need to do it sometime, but Today is never a convenient day for it. This one could hardly be more convenient. It is close by, so no bad neighbourhood worries, in a building complex that I have been in before, and it is mid-afternoon. Really, short of rolling up and playing in my building's lobby, they could hardly have made it easier for me.

Good morning / good afternoon, Helia, L.Ann, Bama and Dogged!

Helia, that is a genius location for the hotel - maximum support for DH, and minimum standing in the rain/cold. We had coffee after church today with cake, as it was someone 's birthday

I hope DD feels better soon, L.Ann.

Bama, I use the cordless hoover on the car, which has the advantage I can take it anywhere, but it can't cope with a big mess as it's not powerful enough and the battery doesn't last that long. So, weekly is ideal,.as this way I can whip through everything before it becomes overwhelming .

I'm glad Germane is sleeping off her dancing experience, Dogged. Everything in is always better after caffeine Enjoy the concert!

Church was good, and our interim vicar led a time of prayer for the family of DF GH, who passed away overnight (she had ovarian cancer and had been in hospice for the last couple of weeks, so we all knew it wouldn't be long). No date for the funeral yet, but I'm guessing it won't be too far in the future. Apparently all the details have already been sorted out - DF GH knew she didn't have long to live and discussed all her wishes with our former retired vicar, who will be taking the service - she was thoughtful and considerate right up to the end.

Jude was a little angel at her appointment. Unfortunately she has gained 50 grams, but I'm relieved it isn't more, with all the worry over Fred and Matilda last month. The lovely nurse wasn't too concerned, as we're hound to have some blips along her weight loss journey. And at least taking her every month, we can tackle a small gain before it becomes a large gain.

Since I've been home I've cut Fred's nails - fortunately he was hungry, so could be bribed to cooperate!

Today's short list:

Up, shower and dress, kitties fed and OTD early
Chat with DnewNeighbour S3 -she is Catholic - Gabe her the location of one of the city's Catholic churches (DF PM reminded me later of the second one)
Hoover and polish car
Church followed by coffee, cake and chat
Back home to take Jude to weight loss clinic
Picked up sedation for Fred and Jude from vet for bonfire week
Cut Fred's nails /brush / flea control
Anyone else's will be a bonus
DH took car to put air in tyres (a warning light came on, but it's usual crying "Wolf" as there's usually very little if any air needed, so I tend to ignore it... but DH will be driving down to South Devon this weekend)
DH launched to go and see a play with his friends (I think it's about rugby??!!)

I've had a productive evening. No more kitty nails cut, but I have cleaned the fridge and out the groceries away. And emailed DF HT about the numbers for today's service. I need to feed the kitties next, then I'm going to try for an early night. I have an early start tomorrow, as I'm planning to take the duvet to the launderette for its annual wash!
