LAnn - I can really understand your attachment to the desk... Those are most difficult...
I have stuffed toys (very basic, cotton ones) my Dmom made for my Dson more than 40 years ago... can't let them go).
Sweet relationship between LittleBit and your DD! :)

Dogged I have respect for anyone who can sew... (My oldest DGD just whipped up a top in 15 minutes... She loves sewing:)
You asked: the little one mastered about 10 chains with FULL FOCUS... I was VERY proud of her b/c it takes time to figure out what to pull on if you want your chains tighter/looser and the whole thing is unlike other skills with two hands doing different things.
I'm sure Germane will be well fed:)

helia - 25 years ago I had a little Yorkie with a bleeding ulcer... He was treated, "recovered", then two months later had a massive hemorrhage, at which point we had to put him down :( I really hope it's not as serious but we don't like to see blood...

Hope I did not miss anyone:)

I did a couple of loads of laundry, cooked a soup. Made a stir-fry lunch for kids and DH. Ordered meds, picked up veggies.
I did a good workout at the end of the day. Unfortunately, my hip has been bothering me for days. So far, it responds to the heating pad.
I have my youngest coming early :)
Have a great night everyone.

Better to have the desk back where it is loved, L.Ann.

Imagine making a top in 15 minutes, kitkat. That is some talent!

I've been shopping in the dollar store, the pet food store and the grocery store. I'm definitely flagging, so I'm not sure how much more I'll get done tonight.

Tuesday
Put away dry laundry from clothesline
Rearranged the drying laundry on the big rack to expose different surfaces
Started putting away dry laundry bags
Brought out tshirts to dry around the apartment. (Forgot to last night :blush:)
Heart pill for Germane
Cleaned up after dog
Put away dry laundry bags
General tidying
Set up laundry bags in bathroom
Filled the TP holder
Scrubbed sink and basin
Washed a few basinsful of dishes
Set up the electric kettle, but brought over the heavy duty lawn mower electric cord with the breaker. Sure enough, the kettle tripped the breaker every time I started it. I don’t think that the issue is the kettle, as I know that circuit is flakey. For some reason that I can’t explain, every plug that is handy in the kitchen and dining area is on the same circuit as everything pertaining to the TV, the computers AND the air conditioner. I don’t even know why I have the other fuses, LOL. I love this kettle, but I think that it is going to live in the basement for now. I can boil water on the stove.
Fed Germane
Went shopping: went to dollar store to get paint brushes and to look at mats
Went to pet store to buy a few cans of food that Germane might like
Went to grocery store. Spent too long, but didn’t overspend for a change.
Managed to bring all of the groceries up in one go
Cleaned up after dog
I still smell poop, so searched the apartment, under furniture etc.
Found the onions gone off and put them in the garbage
Put away frozen groceries
