That is a good use of a wet floor, L.Ann.
Enjoy the weather, Bama. We are happy to share, LOL. Up here it's enough that school buses are cancelled and they're telling us to stay home if we don't need to go out.
Thanks for the floral start, Kittykatt. I was surprised to see black-eyed susans as a wall-climbing flower, as here they are a daisy-like plant. Our black-eyed susans are Rudbeckia hirta and our brown-eyed susans are Rudbeckia triloba, and I, for one, have trouble telling them apart. I take it that this is like robins: yours are like sparrows, they eat seeds and are friendly; our are thrushes, they want to eat the worms from our lawns and hate to be bothered by us trying to be their friend.
I'm glad that your df's cabinet is sorted out.
WTG on getting those pants repaired, Gma.
And you deserve that credit, Bama!
helia, do you think that your dh will be able to help GB, or is this more sounding board and emotional support?
That's annoying, kitkat. There has to be a balance. The bank has caught the occasional fraud for me in time, "Why, no, I did not buy a sandwich in Los Angeles just before you called me in Ontario" but the PC Financial card would lock down my account every time I tried to use it, so I just don't.
Kittykatt, I'm glad that church was nice, even if it was cozier than expected.
(((kitkat))) That is a LOT of shovelling! I hope that your part of the snow storm is over, so that you can set the shovel down. We're well into it now.
I see that we were laundry buddies, L.Ann.
Thursday
Breakfast for dog
Cleaned up after dog
Started putting away dry dishes
Put away slow cooker
Germane was eating so well that I slipped a Benedryl into her food, and she ate it. We’re back, baby!
Cleared out front entrance to access the laundry cart
Germane begging, went to give her more dog food, she hasn’t eaten the last glob I gave her. Showed it to her. She looked at me and said “I don’t eat that.” Well, we knew it was too good to last.
Spiffed self
Hung fleece throw in Germane’s pen
Re-sorted laundry to make dark darks load and delicates load
Tried to CUOP: board not working
Started two loads of laundry. Brought Germane for the outing.
Treats for Germane, who is eating again
Flipped laundry
Set up drying racks
Cleaned up after dog
Tried to sign into bank account: application still not working
Called bank. Got it sorted.
Did a little bit of updating budget sheet
Brought laundry back
Treat for Germane
