Have a Magical Monday

[CathyS]

Is it time to try a new trick to get something done? What sort of magic are you performing around your home today?

[CathyS]

Ta da!! I'm back! It looks like all of the rest of you are here as well.

Dh and I watched 2 football games yesterday. One had an outcome dh liked. The second game, not so much. Dh is a Bills fan. He used to live across the bridge from Buffalo. It was a really good game, though.

My magic trick for this morning will be to get to knitting on time. I am up for hours before I have to leave, but that last hour goes faster than the rest somehow. It's going to be a rough day weather-wise, with wind gusts "up to" 100 Kilometers. I can hear the wind. We are also expecting snow later. Ah, well... it's January in Canada.

Yea! I'm in.
Paper taming Mission continues here I have done 3 piles.
Started duds & did basement walk about.
Made coffee & took morning pill.
Waving excitedly to you all.

Today will be magical because I’ll be home! We’re in ATL. Flight home delayed a little but hoping all will be okay. We were up at 5, I slept some on last flight but a nap sounds real nice right now.

9:15 am
time to start my day - mom is slowly waking up.

I got a good stethoscope in - I have had a stethoscope for years and years and it doesn't owe me a thing- it helped a lot with dh and even the girls. - I used it to hear when lungs sounded rough or crackly - to get ahead of pneumonia. dh was vulnerable 15 years ago. For mom - it's a cardiac one that can help me hear her heart when the afib is crazy. I can also tell with the pulse ox - you can see her heart rate jumping all around like yesterday.

time for my card file!

Good morning!

Cathy - Thank you for getting us started today.

I'm doing persistent & consistent baby steps to get through my daily list. If I look at the entire thing, then I get overwhelmed but just doing the next small step seems easy.
** My personal AM care done including washing hair.
** Bible study and suduko game
** DD13 delivered to school including taking extra time brushing her hair. I have a plan forming to improve DD13 hair care.
** Breakfast cooked (eggs, bacon, bagels, hot link, potatoes)
** Homeschool with DS16 accomplished. He was finished by 10:30 and out the door to work.
** Bathrooms cleaned, and all floors swept. Some spot mopping happened too.
** Meat pulled out of the freezer to thaw in anticipation of cooking it later today. Chicken breast tenderloins, shrimp, smoked sausage and ground beef. I'm not sure what I will make with these yet.
** Food pulled out of the pantry to cook later today. Marconi and Velveeta will be combined for a guaranteed teen pleaser dish. Italian Green beans for a side.
** Curb side order list is in progress. One order for Sam's and one order for WMart. Tomorrow is DD13 counselor appt in the city, so I want to utilize the trip as much as possible.
