SHEs Organized

LOL Harriet, I was trying to figure out a way to use that story as well but we aren't expecting snow so Big Dump Tuesday didn't work!

Good job keeping calm, Booksaver! And it was nice that the family did their best to help rather than expect the paid staff to take care of their messes. The dad set a good example for his daughters.

I'm up. Dh is back in bed. He attended a meeting in Europe from 4 - 6 this morning. I got out of bed 40 minutes after he came back. We had gone to bed early so I was awake.

My apartment isn't messy but the paperwork situation is so I'll work a bit on that. But first, I'm hoping for a sermon to flow out of me. I've allowed the ideas to germinate for over a week now. Interestingly, I probably have more than enough but don't have an opening and so can't let the rest pour out. So today I'm going to break down and write the rest and hope the opening appears at some point. Normally it is endings that I don't have until after writing the whole thing (which makes sense since they summarize what you've written.) Perhaps my opening is "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose" (the more things change, the more they stay the same.)

stay safe all of you who are experiencing record breaking weather.

my day in brief
yoga
pdoc
bin day.
The umbrella with wayward spokes had to go. Also a fridge vege bin clean out.
I had a late night escort for the bread that hid, for removal from the premises.

Still to happen
dishes.
bath

Overactive imagination - I can just see that bread, cowering in the shadows at the back of the bread box!

No real progress except background reading. And much of it will assist in next week's sermon as well (which will include info on the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Depressing reading and looks like it will be two depressing sermons in a row. Thought provoking but depressing.

Just CI for a quick minute. Have to leave for church to work on rolling bandages.

Went to see friend in Bradenton yesterday with another friend. It was an excellent visit and a very easy trip -the 'back way'. I just found my new 'best friend' for the trip down that way. Good thing as I expect we will be going again in a few days. While we visited another dfriend in the hospital there, passed away yesterday afternoon. We were supposed to go there to stay a few days in a week or so. Had put it on hold as he'd had a very mild stroke 2 weeks ago today. But for some reason they never could get his BP to come up and stabilize. His wife has been my very dear friend for a long time.

Have to run -will be back later and hopefully accomplish something here. We're going to dh's db's from church.

I will be thinking of your d mom in law for safe walking in all that beautiful snow --- I love how you mentioned the little bird tracks in the snow d harriet... one of my favorites of winter snow.

thank you d harmony.

I had to leave the house yesterday as dd younger had a doctor appointment and d uncle had to go to the oncologist and the bank. I was gone until late.
dd youngers eye doctor appointment was confusing. We were there for 2 hours because they couldn't find her prescription for her contacts as her eyes kept changing. This is getting frustrating. She has to go back in one month to see if her eyes stabilize. She was hoping to get back into biking this spring to join a team.sailing starts in April

Good Morning!

The first 4 hours of my day has went well. After taking LO to school, I txt'd his teacher and told her today is the first day of adhd meds. I was told one of the side effects was weight loss because of no appetite. I wasn't expecting it to happen so quickly though! LO didn't want to be dropped off at the school cafe this morning where he typically eats breakfast. He said he wasn't hungry and would just go straight to his classroom. REALLY? LO isn't hungry? Feels kinda weird to hear him say that. We will see how the rest of his day goes.

Next up -
** kitchen to MM status
** LOL hung up, folded & put away
** trash to the road

the mess: THE KITCHEN
1. we don't have groceries (bought uncles but not ours) - which caused us having to eat out a lot. (problem $$$ and not healthy)
2. dd younger made a lovely dinner Sunday night... but we have dishes piling high in the sink
3. floor needs washing
4. things need be put away
5. menu's need to be planned
6. cooking must be done early so that it is done by dinner
7. refrigerator needs work

Having a clean kitchen will help us eat healthier

hope LO is feeling okay. not being hungry before school - maybe he couldn't wait to play
