MysteryW. Thanks for the insp. of thinking on meal options I have here to use.
My Rx reminder just came so glad I saw that before heading out later on this week for plants etc.

I'm waiting for the dew to be off the grass to mow so ~ I did some knitting that was great.

Ty Harriet for saying that about my iris.

I did get more onions that I'd ripped out to fit in the trash pick up today.
This will be on going for a while.

Thanks for NOK inspiration:
I put the file on ddoggo in with important papers with her name on the outside of it.

------
I have mowed the lawn.
Cleaned under the mower with my tool I luv for that job.
I was going to share a link but it's no longer available but local stores have
diff. options for that.
Charged up the battery for next time.
Had my lunch had a win for the lunch I had a sausage cheese dog in a tortilla shell it was good.

Ta Da!! I had a nap!

Dh did some weeding!!

Later...

I deep cleaned one litter box. I also took that bag out to the compost bin.
While I was going in and out I also took a needle/sharps box out to my trunk. Hmmm... I guess I should go drop them off because now there are FOUR of those containers in my trunk!! :shock:
I washed 2 of the 3 large pots and all large utensils. Third one is in the sink having a bubble bath in the spa/tub that I call the kitchen sink. I think the pot said "Ahhh that's so nice!" when she got in the water. :lol: I will be doing my cuticles after I'm done this job!

I don't know where to start.

I'm back home and exhausted. After body work went to dcousins and hung out with her and family. Ds was there and dh came and left for his chiropractic appt and came back. I told dh while there that I didn't feel up to going to birthday dinner tonight but he guilted me and I said I would. As it turns out, a dcousin had offered him a cannabis gummy which hit him up the side of the head. After I left he was unsteady on his feet and another cousin (these were two of dcousin J's adult children) brought him home. So the evening is out of the plans and I need to call with our last minute regrets.

So he's asleep leaving me to call and give our regrets I suspect.

The body work was worthwhile and I felt better, however some of the muscle pain and stiffness is returning now. He has an opening on Thursday afternoon, I said I'd check with him tomorrow a.m. if I think I need another session.

And I was trying to talk to dh about groceries this a.m. and he said he would go, and then didn't because he was stopping on the way back here....so I still need to do an instacart order, which is really what I wanted to do in the first place, but this a.m.

Aside from that all is great here! At least I'll be here this evening to do some things. I did stop and get the car washed on the way home. I had dead bugs smeared all over the windshield.

So glad you got a nap, Cathy. I liked Trissie's quote - via Harriet - this a.m.
Once you hit a certain age life is just a delicate balance of trying to stay awake and trying to fall asleep, while slowly getting worse at both."
I resemble that remark. Don't want to nap because I might not sleep later. Also WTG on cat box and pots and pans. Frost? Really?

And WTG Nancy on your mowing, glad you could get it done today without rain. I love the true purple irises, either the lavender or the deep purple - don't care for the ones that are almost burgundy. I think purple irises are TN's state flower.

Mystery's been busy this a.m. and has ta das also! And the treadmill too, even better. Are you seeing changes in your health from the nutritionist and treadmill? And good for you to have a quiet week with him dh away too especially now that school is out.

Harriet, glad you're continuing with planting, with you mask, I assume? I think I read about dh having surgery soon? Need to go back and review.

Fabulous about the DAR, RR! Glad it finally happened...can't tell you how long I toyed with the idea.

Hot Hot Hot LM! How are your veggies responding to last week's trauma?

Follow up on last post - called with our regrets about dinner tonight so that's done. And walked the ddog. I'm glad to have an evening at home.

Just one more time to the dentist for him, Twins'. I think either something about a cap (?) or maybe a filling. Dentist just decided it was enough yesterday to numb him at two places and postponed one last thing.

I've potted up the Sunpatien that isn't supposed to grow too big (I hope) into ds' hen planter. Positioned it beside my tin rooster lawn art from dd27 and sent her a photo titled, "Flock", lol. That's right at the back door so hopefully will be noticed a bit, now that there is a pop of new color.

I could tell that a night visitor rearranged lightweight things near a garden bed, but nothing damaged. Just an inspection, I guess.

Paid another bill that had to be done by phone. I didn't like it because the only option was automated phone payment without a human. This was the eyedrops I'm taking right now. An online pharmacy that ships. It's not that I doubt the business itself, since the dr and medical staff tell patients to use it, but you do have to wonder, is there certainty of who is processing payments?

Made a cake of cornbread, requested by HRH to have with beans on a day that's been a little cool. Very good with chow-chow, I thought.

Supper is finished and the table is cleared.

I got the second litter box deep cleaned.

I did some dusting.

I also made dh a coconut pudding. I don't think he's noticed it yet. It's still too hot to eat.

I must have been a little too revved up yesterday. By about 11:00 pm, after dgd's ballgame (which had us getting home around 10:00) I was just DONE. I had a headache, and I just felt exhausted. I put away the laundry that was waiting, took some Aleve, and got in bed. I just prayed that my mother would NOT need ER care before I could get a shower in the morning! (Remember, I've said that if the Life Alert ever goes off, it will always be a day when I am not s2s! I don't know what time I fell asleep, but I know it was earlier than usual, and I slept later than usual this morning.
I had a hard time getting started today, but I finally did get out of the house, got the mail, picked up DGD at school, and finished the last load of laundry for the week.

DGD had to have a little time to unwind -- orange juice, rainbow sherbet, and YouTube, but then she wanted me to play outside with her. I pitched the Whiffle ball and she hit. (Last night, she cried because the season was over.)

After she left, I was hot and tired and just had to lie down for awhile. No NOK Box today.

Cathy, good for you on getting supper done and the kitchen s/s. I need to empty the dishwasher before I can take care of the dishes in the sink.
Coconut pudding sounds good too!

Harriet, did HRH get to meet the new dentist?

WTG on mowing, Nancy! I'm still steering clear of any yard work -- fetching Whiffle balls was enough for me!

Mystery, I missed that about dh being out of school already. Ours aren't "officially" out until May 22, I think. But dgs' last day will be Friday, and dgd's will be a week from today.
I overslept this morning, but I'm here at my usual noon,
Yep... that's me too, except my usual is midnight! LOL!

Congrats on DAR, Rose! Is this thyroid surgery? My preacher had a similar incision recently, and she recovered well. She was only out of the pulpit a couple weeks, I think. Saying a prayer that yours goes as well.

Twins, I know you are glad to have a quiet evening. I don't know how you keep up your schedule!
* That is so strange about the gummy! DS was just telling me last night about a friend who had too much of a gas station CBD gummy and ended up in the ER!!! Hope Mr. Twins feels better when he wakes up!

LadyM, it was hot here this afternoon too. I can't complain -- it seems we've had a lot more mild spring weather this year.

I apologize because I may be leaving out someone because I'm just going on Topic Review since I'm on the Chromebook and I often lose posts here.
(What a sentence. :oops: )
Waving to ALL of you!!!
Hope you all have a good night!

Storms are expected in the nite here and winds tomorrow.
I have two people coming one gal to look at iris for later in the year maybe tag some /
that may change.
Dgson is to put new rivets on some deck railing.

I picked up some more stuff I weeded out of the beds while watering.
Mine are not raised. Had to use the a/c today it was muggy.

Enjoying the tortillas I made this week. That's been a fun adventure.
