SHEs Organized

That's not a lot of time to recover between trips, L.Ann, but I'm sure that it's worth it.

Ah, kitkat, you bring back memories of my flooding-the-house washer and my burning-down-the-house dryer that I had in my house. Put me off of refurbs for a very long time. But at least when I gave in and bought new, the new ones worked consistently. I'm sorry that you have to buy a new dryer.
I go to visit my db twice a year. I try to time it outside of summer so that Germane won't be in a solar oven when I have to run in to go to the washroom, but outside of snow season so I'm not driving in a snowstorm. Also outside of tourist season. Quebec City is a very popular place, and the hotels can fill up at weird times of the year.

The cabin trip was last minute and I didn’t have to do any of the planning so it was low stress, Dogged. I loved Whistler too, KitKat. Let’s see I read Theo of Golden which I liked but not as much as The Correspondent. I am listening to The Calamity Club which is great but is going to be due before I finish it. I really liked Mad Mabel. Have you read it?

LAnn they are making a movie out of Theo... (I kind of expected that...)
I have not read The Correspondent or Mad Mabel... but will.
I LOVED The Calamity Club! Just recommended it to a friend:)

Quebec City is gorgeous, Dogged! I experienced it in stilettos (I was young and dumb...) - I don't recommend it.

Back from doggie walk. Had a brief nap before. Getting DGD for a bit.

Hello, everyone!

Welcome back, KitKat! I'm glad you had a lovely time with your family. French braids definitely make going back to school special!

L.Ann, garlic lime chicken sounds delicious. I'm on the lookout for some relatively easy weekday meals - I've got into a bit of a rut.

Dogged, thank you! I think I type on my phone because it's with me, and I don't have to worry about whether DH needs to use it (technically we share the house laptop, but I don't think I've ever used the current model!) I can do all I need to do using my phone, including printing (when the printer remembers what its one task in life is!)

Hoping everything is ok with Helia - she's usually here by now.

It's been a good day, even if I did spend it inside. I've decluttered and deep cleaned the hall (which sounds a lot more impressive than it really is!), given the sitting room its weekly clean and spent 15 minutes on paperwork (the first time in months ). DH had a good time at choral, so I think we've slipped right back into our winter routine for Tuesday.

https://savingdinner.com/garlic-lime-chicken/ Garlic lime chicken was a recipe I got off the fly lady site, kittykatt. It is quick and one of our favorites.

Thank you, L.Ann!
