Lunch is done I made a fried banana just b/c I never had eaten one before not my fav. food so will not be doing that again but it smell great in the kitchen after I did that for lunch!
Dishes are unloaded now. I've dusted down stairs and vacuumed the basement. I did that instead of getting in another walk as it's been raining and no sign of sunshine either! I'm glad I did not know what was the feed back on the basement so I focused on all of it and would not have spiffed it up as much if I knew all I had to do was move my looms! LOL! :roll: It's all good! So Friday congaing is good now!
No granny duty today dgson is ill and at the other granny's today.
H. is doing clean up at sil's job site for a while today. My attitude is definitively better now.

Indiana I run two browsers all the time. My Firefox blocks cookies so when a page won't work because the cookies have been blocked, I open it in Chrome. I also have two different google accounts so can run two different google calendars at once. In Chrome, I have my personal calendar with all the SHE cards loaded in agenda format and in Firefox I have all the family/work calendars open in monthly calendar format (so I can see how busy we'll be in the upcoming weeks.) Two browsers means I can also have my two FB accounts open at the same time.

Chrome has been very stable but I find I'm very wary of the push to keep everything integrated - I don't like to give Google any more access to my life than necessary.

Dinner is done. No progress on year-end accounting except I got the dining room table set up for me to start work. I sure hope I'm as far along as I remember myself being.

Dh just cleaned up the kitchen for me. Choir practice is shortly.

Nancy, I am perplexed that anyone would even care where your looms were. Who cares? You're not intending to leave them behind when you go, right? And they're not blocking access to see something, as in trying to hide a wall, etc., so why the fuss? I'm really not a fan of staging, anyway. I've read where model homes sometimes have custom made furniture that's specially made; chairs smaller scale to fit places, then when one moves in they find real furniture doesn't fit. People will stage a room as an office because a real bed won't fit...ak don't get me started!

DH says he's really tired, but I can tell he still has some energy left, not dangerously done-in from today's work.

I don't like the way doctors' offices handle test results either. Mine always said they'd call if something wasn't right. So I never knew if maybe the test result was never received by them and they forgot about it, or if everything was ok. Grrrr.

Outside watering done and another big bowl of broccoli picked and brought in. I'm glad the garden is producing as I'm eating double the veggies I used to. Tonight I even ate peas, they have twice the fiber.

Indiana, I guess your area didn't get those tornadoes yesterday?

I once had ross river fever and was not told to years later. Thats a nasty mosquito virus that leaves you with aching joints and freq cfs. It was its partner from mosquitos - bharma forest fever that really brought me undone.

sun is shining today
I want to get out and about a little.

I must have some kind of Alabama river sleeping sickness. I am just so exhausted I can't stand myself. I keep falling asleep on the couch, and then when I wake up, I want to eat. Again. I have eaten more today than I have in the last two days put together, I guess.

DH is very sick. I don't have what he has -- I'm just kidding about having something wrong with me. I don't mean to make light of those of you who are really battling some sort of virus or something. I know what my trouble is... too many late nights + early morning alarm clocks. DH has some kind of bug -- he's been running fever, sore throat, sick at his stomach. I hope it doesn't last long.

I'm sorry I am not better company tonight. I just can't formulate a thought to post.
:shock: * I almost typed that as: I just can't formulate a post to thought.
Maybe
I'll go
back to sleep....

Harmony My thoughts exactly on the basement feedback as we are not leaving the looms behind. They were sort of a view blocker and divider the one great room down stairs. People wanted more of an idea of the openess of that room I guess. :roll: It goes from one end of the house to the other so they could have looked at the other side of the room to get that idea. We've tucked 'em back next to the wall and I covered them with sheets or fabric. I had the big floor loom where I liked to weave when it was working so I could watch TV while I did it.

We have a dining room table down there that was given to us as well I told h. I was not attached to it and we could unscrew the legs and take it out if any one had a problem with it.
I have it sort of set with dishes. The Realtor said to take the table cloth off of it how strange is that! A fun batik fabric so I have a table runner on it now. You can't please all the people all the time.

I have sorted the winter hats mittens and gloves,and boxed them up taken them to the basement and they are now in a suit case I have for storing seasonal clothing.

I'm checking fb to see if there is any news of the new grand niece / nephew yet.

We are back from our hot date that was nice. We are going to take in the "act of valor" movie unless some thing unforseen comes up this weekend.

Hubby is in a better frame of mind this evening so that helps!

Working on family tree chart for DD#2 so she knows how cousins work into the family. She has never met any of the cousins on my side of the family - but I think we are going to get a cousin's get-together during June so she and the rest of the 3rd generation can meet them.

I'm having a big problem as I can't remember some of the spouse's names. And I don't know any of the birth/marriage/death dates.

DH had a good session at the Chiropractor today. I think it is helping his back. I also made an appointment with one of his cousins in SD for a full week of treatments. He starts physical therapy next week.

Time to head for bed. See you all tomorrow.

Oh, Lynlee, that makes me steaming mad to think about it. So, the dr's office records were kept correct, but letting you know the information you deserved wasn't important enough to bother with. Harmony, that's just not acceptable. You have a right to hold the results in your hand and refer to them as you see fit, not just because you paid for them but because they are personally, absolutely, without-a-doubt about you, and it's your business. Steam, steam.

Emptynester, I wish you could chat with my cousin here who knows exactly how to track down that sort of info. I can actually be on the phone with him and he can have answers to questions within a minute just glancing at computer - reading to me from an obituary, for instance. (Obituaries online would give you names of spouses of the deceased's children...? ) My best guess for help in our village would be Twins Mom or Indiana, but others know stuff like this, too.

I am a little :shock: that I have had a twinge in my back because of too much outdoor chores in cramped situation. I've thrown my eating plan out in order to have enough on my stomach to take anti-inflammatory med late this evening without fear of hurting my tummy. (One reason I'm up late.) This could blow over, or this could be the start of something very disappointing.
