SHEs Organized

helia, yay for an empty calendar. I'm sure you can find a lot of choices for a night in Lyon. Having a view on the Fourvière hill is a bonus. MrNG was born in Lyon and people there say the Fourvière cathedral looks like an upside-down elephant.

L.Ann do you mean a book about the regency part of History? Or a book from the Regency series ? BTW I finished the Dutch House last week, not sure if you were one of the ladies who recommended the author, anyway I liked it.

Doggedly, sorry to hear Germane had an attack.

Hi harriet ! I googled dogwoods, I don't think we have those here.

trissie, you don't need to have a reason to have a nap. What will you be watching ? Not another Jurassic world movie I hope.

It's been a sunny afternoon. We are supposed to turn our clocks backwards tonight, for Daylight Savings Time. Living in the westernmost part of our time zone, I find it so unfair to have very late sunrises again and very late sunsets - try putting a kid to bed around 9pm when the sun shines until 10 pm outside !
I should have started the cleaning list already. It's almost 6.30, I will have to put the pizzas in the oven around 7...

TADAs
close lunchboxes and freeze (or maybe add some onions or fried red pepper on top)
lol outside on drying rack, unless it rains
mention homework to the kids again
round up library books, go to library

TODOs
a long list of cleaning tasks - not started...
a list of to-dos that aren't cleaning
bake something for a dessert ?
pick a movie for tonight
have breaks
family movie night means store-bought pizza for dinner. Add green salad.

Is it the mystery series by Dana Stabenow, Trissie? If you want books with an interesting look on native issues Angeline Boulee has 3 that can be read as stand alone but have some character overlap that are about the Ojibwe tribe. They are technically young adult and all have a mystery element but focus on different native issues like abuse, the many Native items in museum and college collections and the foster care system.

Hi Everyone,

Very little hope to catch up on posts now... but I did skim through them. Much interested in the book discussions helia and LAnn and to find out what happened to Germane. Also: how is Beau doing?
Did FFLY finish any of Anne Patchett's novels? Just curious.

So:
Pup was fed
I took my pills
took out garb/rec
I did a class (yoga)
went with DH (and dpup) to 3 appliance stores.
Purchased a washer.
Hopefully, it's delivered next week. (worst case, I do a load at DD)
Had DH drop us about 1km away.
Walked pup home.
she is now sufficiently tired. (so am I)

Did I mention we had a bit of snow this morning? Thankfully, melted by now ...

Now, I shall take a reading break.
BIAB

Hello, everyone!

Helia, your DH is very smart to buy tickets while they're cheaper!

L.Ann, do you fill the empty eggs with edible "goodies", or is it the searching and thrill of finding the eggs that's the whole point ?

Trissie, my garden today, was cold, windy but also sunny (anything is better than rain!) It's also looking very green ATM, as the plants start growing again.

Harriet, your outing in the spring sunshine sounds lovely!

Congratulations on your new washing machine, KitKat!

FFB, I'm sorry about the abscess. If you start to feel unwell, (hot, cold, nauseous, or just generally grotty) please remember to get medical help, even though you're busy. It could mean you've got an infection , and it needs attending to ASAP, and possibly antibiotics.

Dogged, I'm glad Germane is feeling better today.

Today was peaceful and productive. I enjoyed time in the garden (well wrapped up) and moved the pots that have gone over onto the back steps, and fed and watered them all. I've prepped lunch for tomorrow and had a nice walk down by the stream.

Little Bit asked me to put something in the eggs and I told her no, kittykatt. She is perfectly happy finding them empty. A regency romance, FFB…. I am trying to decide what to read next. I am glad you liked Dutch House, FFB.

SHEM: If you manage to spend over $80 in a store like Giant Tiger, you are not allowed anywhere near Costo!

Dogged The Errander Princess returns triumphant from her quests. Unfortunately, I suspect too late to chat with most our SHEs.
This is from earlier:
I believe that we have one here in my city, trissie. (No More Kings rally) I don't see the point of that. The U.S. ambassador to Canada is so unprofessional that he was actually recalled from The Netherlands before being inflicted on us. If they have a rally outside the embassy, I'm sure that he will just lecture us on what we are allowed to think as he usually does.

If only I would get up and do those errands, helia, LOL. I got distracted online shopping, trying to avoid shipping fees.

I met all of my goals except one. I made it to the bank in time to deposit my cheque in the ATM in the lobby, not out in the wind in the drive-through. For special bonus points, I was able to find my new PIN number and use it.
I made it to Staples while their shipping desk was still open and sent off Bell's PVR.
I went to Giant Tiger to pick up an extendable pole and went berserk buying everything in the store. They did not have camembert or brie cheese, unfortunately. As I am clearly in a spendy mood, I thought that I really should stay away from Costco, and the Costco parking lot agreed. I saw behaviour there that I have never seen in my life. Drivers just pick a parking spot and wait for the current occupant to load their car and put their cart away, etc. and block everyone behind them. We all have to just wait, even if you were just trying to go up the lane to come down another lane. After getting stuck behind a few of those drivers, I concluded that Life was protecting my bank account, and went home.

I'm glad that I had put Germane in her pen before going, as she was still howling when I came back. The neighbours can't really hear her when she's in her pen, but if I had left her loose and she howled right beside the door, she would have been annoying.
Now she's decided that she doesn't accept salmon as a treat, so I'm going to try cooking some basa for her to see if she will eat that.

Thanks, FrenchFly. Fortunately, it was a very short attack and she recovered quickly.
You get the benefit in the winter time. My db used to live on the eastern edge of our time zone, whereas I live closer to the western side. I couldn't get over how early the sun went down when I went to visit him at Christmas!

Thank you for that ray of hope, Harriet, and I have one in return. My db had cataract surgery, and it went swimmingly. No problems following. With all of the serious health issues that he has had, he never even mentioned it to me until long after, when Germane's cataracts got worse.

Thanks, kitkat and Kittykatt. Germane is back to her sassy self,
