Harriet you might check and see if sunflower seed or butter have potassium in that.
We have walked.
It is sunny day and mild temps made it pleasant.

how wonderful that they live so close by road d harriet - I can imagine as the crow flies the d grands can get there quick!
I will have to look up what a chronometer is.
I am so sorry you had a bad cramp last night!!! praying it doesn't come up again!
I am praying for you!
just a quick hi to everyone.
it's been an experience of a morning -
one struggle with a man at my mothers building who is new and spouted off all kind of new rules about me bringing mom to her apartment - they want mom's parking spot for their valet.
mom has decided that her new name for me is MAUKT-pronunciation - to be funny - it means "servant" in Alsatian - then when I asked if she could rinse off her dishes then she called me a Maukt and then pretended to faint and die - and then laughed. she thought she was hysterical - I say she was a stinker.

It is 20 degrees cooler today than yesterday but still comfortable to be outside. We enjoyed being in the sunshine while walking on our town park trail. DD13 would never choose to do physical exercise if given the choice but she was smiling and okay with it. DH and I remembered and discussed the families who came together about 30 years ago to make this park happen. A local farmer donated the land. The park was designed and built by a labor of love involving dozens of community families bringing their tractors and land moving equipment to shape the land. Families bought trees and planted and cared for them. Small town ways of getting things done.
I am going to kick my heels up and check out the 3 channels that I follow on uTube.

my stock the last time didn't turn out - I had to open them and toss them. oh well - I will try again another time! first time in many many years that it didn't turn out.
more laundry flipped. laundry also hung up
my food processor that I have had for over 20 years gave up the ghost today -
dw on finally
I have spoken to dd's a couple times today and yesterday - I could easily take a nap but I know I won;t sleep tonight.
I have to sweep again
I think I will change dinner plans. I still have a Caesar salad from a restaurant the other day for mom. I have a pizza in the freezer - not exactly party food.
Next right thing:
empty dw and rinse the food processor well and see if I can get it to work again.
trying not to get tired. I think I will have some hot tea and make up a menu for tomorrow

I'm back from therapist. Had a good session discussing changes I want to make this year and how I'll need to adjust to dh being around more. Even tho Instacart had delivered my order, I stopped at the other Publix - the super busy crazy one - and got blackeye peas and some salt pork for it.
Back at home, Millie discovered the Hanukkah gelt that M and S gave her so we played in the yard a few minutes. And then we walked two laps with dfriend M and saw (and reacted) to every dog in the neighborhood. Quite the workout! And we were being beaten by the wind gusts, too.
My groceries were at home when dh got home - before I did - so he put them away. This has been sitting awhile, obviously.

DD13 accidentally broke her phone. Shattering it. So....scratch what I was doing and start the process of finding her another phone. DD13 was in tears about it. We discussed the difference in accidents happening vs intentional carelessness. She is not in trouble over her broken phone, but she will experience a day or so without having a phone until a new one arrives.

Ended up with dd44, ds, ddil and dgdC all here to help jump start the truck, lol. That was funny - just some on their way to other places, hearing we had a dead battery. Dd44 has one of those hand-held jump-start thingies - it is a jewel.
So, after standing around talking too much (yes, Twins' in too much ~~~ wind!!! ~~~ And me with nothing on my poor cold head.), we headed in our different directions. HRH and I got everything to the cans and that says a lot. I had just given him free reign with decluttering in the mud room and laundry area and a lot more left here than I usually allow.
This is good, though, because we have promised each other to start working on a better pantry and storage system there. The kitchen is too tight and needs whatever kind of freeing we can give it.
Oh, blessed, I hope your food processor revives! These wonderful old things that still work to suit us - awful to lose them finally.
Cronometer.com is a free site where you can enter your foods (or other tracking-health things) and it will give you totals on what you've consumed or done. Anything from fiber to Vitamin C to calories today, etc. Takes a bit to learn but it's pretty user-friendly.
((LadyM's dd13)) I remember when dd26 dropped hers and broke the glass on the very afternoon we had gotten it. And we had it in a very tough case - it hit just right.

I have taken the greenery of winter decor out of the living room.
No lites on it and put in a tee shirt up-cycle bag and took that to the staging area 1st then
on down to the storage room with the red and green totes.
At the Cmas gathering we discussed the value of clear totes vs. red and or green ones
so you could see what is actually inside them.
I have the battery charging thing and know how to plug it in and put it on the Jeep.
Had to do that one winter until it dawned on me I needed a new battery.
Then that one went bad not too long after and had to have it replaced.
I am glad I recognized the hard start and had them test it and got one
mostly under warranty b/c it was not very old. # Feeling thankful. #
