Monday again and time to kickstart your week! If you did your Sunday planning for the week you're in great shape. If not, time to plan. What will you make happen this week? What are the obstacles?
And then....get moving! It's the start to a great week!

Thank you for starting off our day and our week Twins' Mom!!
Dh had a very good night. His sugars are starting to even out and stay high enough not to affect his eyes and low enough to be "in the zone".
I am all dressed and ready to go to the Monday morning stitch group. The library doesn't open until10, so I can't go there yet.

Good morning
Another night filled with teenager antics. This is the story of my life for a little bit longer.
DS17 had 5 teenagers here last night and with all their experience (HA!) they installed the new back window in his pickup. Youtube was the teacher for how to accomplish this. Currently they have boards and tape to securely hold the window in place while it dries. The plan is to remove the supports tonight and put the final seal around the window. Will all their effort work? Your guess is as good as mine. A new back window & installation was priced at $1500. They currently have about $350 invested in this DIY project.
The window they installed came from a similar pickup. The original owner bought the pickup new but quickly swapped the back window for one with a sliding glass. DS17 purchased the barely one-week-old back glass that had been removed.
I got DH set up with pen and paper to write similar to a journal. He still has the ability to write so using that daily seems to be a good thing as long as he can.

Hello, all.
An unusual day here, after several unusual days. I am cleaning and arranging for just a little bit of company, in advance of a small graveside moment in our yard, and a few wanting to come in to hang out with us. Dsonil and dd27 will receive Tobias' body today after work. The vet offers proper storage of bodies to their patients' families for as much as 2 days, which is a kind service, and we took advantage of that since dd27 was away. Dsonil and one of ddolder's boys will bury Tobias here. We'll let dd27 choose a place.
I don't know how many in ddolder's family we'll expect, but maybe all 5. Ds' family is on their family vacation at a distance.
I've vacuumed, wearing a mask as instructed. About as much vacuuming at one time as I have yet done myself.
Saturday early afternoon-ish, I had been very happy to drive around our closest town on several errands without anyone in the family with me, or maybe not even holding their breath about it, lol. It is odd to be living life, especially driving, without glasses. I actually wore driving/glare glasses then and oddly felt more "normal" with something on my nose in the car.
Cathy, that's a good report for you and dh. So glad ya'll had a good night, and his vision is not being affected so much.
Mystery, I did see your pretty picture in A, C and Needlework topic.
lucylee is very busy, perhaps.

There are 7 family pets all buried in caskets that my former husband made for them. It a pet cemetery for sure.
Up early to walk Amelia this morning. Went to class and the did some office work before I made breakfast for all,
I want to mop my floors and then make a grocery run. I have a small headache and waiting for it to pass.

I've made three DPCs already for cemetery and an email about the tree work tomorrow. And turns out the temple trustee didn't affirmatively request funds for us from the Foundation, so that's not happening this week. Sometimes I feel like I have to babysit those men. Still need to follow up on another cemetery matter, and need to be in touch with the maintenance co that mows, etc. Need them to install a working sprinkler box, also need an estimate for fertilizing trees.
Oy. I'm having trouble focusing today for sure.
