Good morning, everyone! Hope you have a great day.

Happy Thursday! Definitely Thanks God It's Thursday evening!

MIL was supposed to have heart surgery (pacemaker) today. SIL (no D, thank you very much) has yet to let us know how it went (6pm here). No, we can't call, because nobody bothered putting DH's name on the contacts list. Also, not a word about whether the hospital social worker was contacted so that MIL would not be released to home care, but instead to long term care. I can't intervene. I'd like to know if DH will be available over summer to do his share of watching kids when they are off school, or if I should look into hiring a sitter. Or just about anything that concerns plans, even as far as tomorrow - is DH going to be home or not? It's a good thing I already know how to stop panic attacks quickly and effectively, because it's been a while since I had so many in a single day.

Can't dwell on what I cannot control, so what can I control? Putting away today's groceries and dealing with housework!

A lunch outside in shade sounds really lovely, kittykatt!
that shows sounds really good, helia, so if we ever get Netflix (we have HBO, Disney and SkyShowTime), I'll check it out!
lauralind, Dana K. White had really good episodes on how to clean a house for guests if you can stretch it over longer period of time (as in, not coming tomorrow) - you can check out the strategies at https://www.aslobcomesclean.com/2024/11 ... or-guests/
one day very soon, Lil Bit will no longer be little, L.Ann!
kitkat, yes, I do know of Toyen, even if I probably would not recognize her works - not really into modern arts. For me, it's ancient civilizations for sculptures and architecture, Rennaisance for paintings, and impressionists!
Did you already assemble the chair, Dogged? Does it to live up to your expectations?
How is DH feeling, Bama? Have they cut him off the heavy pain meds?

TaDas
- morning madness
- snacks etc
- morning routine
- load of darks sorted and delay started
- work
- grocery run

ToDos
- put away groceries
- midday routine
- water flowerpots

That is lovely to have your whole dfamily home, Bama.

(((trissie))) Being kept dangling at the end of someone else's string is so frustrating. If you went ahead and booked the babysitter and then found that they're not needed because your DH will be home after all, could that free up time that you both could benefit from? Like more time in the garden or just relaxing, time to go and see a museum after work, etc.?

You greatly overestimate my competence and industry. I have looked at the chair parts. I have yet to put any of them togeher.
