Good morning ,Trissie, and thank you for starting us off. Is it today Terri goes for the next scan on her leg? Sending you prayers for a successful appointment.

Gma, thank you for the list of emails -it arrived safely.

Today DH is WFH. My plans are to hopefully mulch some more roses in the back garden. (Ideally I would like to do them all at once, but that may be unrealistic. The sacks of FYM have been sitting outside all winter, so the contents have soaked up a lot of water and are very heavy. I do, of course decant the sacks into smaller containers to carry, but it was still very heavy work yesterday). I also need to do some housework - it's the turn of the sitting room today - and hopefully some paperwork when DH has gone to choral. Oh, and a walk would be good as well!

Replace the bit of mortar that's fallen out of the edge of the roof (I think its called the verge?) , fix dripping kitchen tap ( new washer?), sort out cabinet that wobbles, fix garage guttering that's loose at one end and bending down.

I'm up and I've taken Fred out. So far it's a beautiful sunny day, although a rather chilly 5C. But the sun is now climbing high enough to flood the patio with sunshine for a couple mof hours, so I'm going to switch things round a little, and spend time in my back garden as soon as I've finished breakfast, and then go for my walk afterwards.

Hello Trissie and everyone.

Just finishing my breakfast then out the door to my walk which is to church to study the Archbishop's Lent Book.

The weather is sunny today up here too Kitty, hope the temps improve.

[Kittykatt]

Enjoy your walk and the Lent study, Vergers!
We have now reached the dizzy heights of 10C according to my phone. However, my patio is in the sun and out of the wind, so I was able to take my coat off while I was working there.

Going for my walk now.

[Smile*Lee]

Good morning!

Hey, vergers! Good to see you!
kitty ~ enjoy that sunshine!
trissie ~ thanks for the start! prayers for a good report!

Yesterday's airport drop-off went well.
Today - another effort to get back into routines - but no appointments. Be back with a plan.

[Lauralind]

Morning all. Hi vergers. Welcome back.

I'm having a hard time actually posting anything productive. I am so spoiled almost. E is doing so much. Sh cleaned dad's freezer yesterday. Not lots in it but he'd accidentally left the door ajar awhile ago and it melted some. It's clean now. She threw out some leftover stuff in the fridge and such. The new sink in the bathroom is a huge help too. Looks so much better.

You know that footprints term is huge. I always leave footprints behind. Cleaning supplies out. Just the last couple of things to put away in the kitchen. If I could pick up my footprints. My house actually might look a lot neater. That is something that I knew from flylady and all kinds of other places. Even dh is always commenting on putting stuff away right away. Footprints hits home

I should get up and in the shower. E is coming one step earlier today so I can do early shift. Then I can be off earlier. If perchance we Finish freight and even is covered I might get outta there early. I don't know though there's a second half semi trailer sitting there to unload this morning. Could be boxes. Could be all forklift work. Spring is large freight time.

Main thing I have to do this morning is book in with ds teachers. Parents meetings tomorrow afternoon. I should get all 4. Plus maybe the special needs one. The more I keep reading about the spectrum I will call it. Ds has selective mutism. Talk up a storm when he's interested and then times where there is just a blank stare of no response. That is the biggest hurdle atm. I am thankful now that I didn't call off the testing but they allowed me to move it. By then I will be out of the woods with mom and dad's care.

Anyway I better get in the shower. I'll be so glad to get home. Mom sleeps in so much and last night I had her tucked in by 730. Her choice. Then I'm creeping through the house so I don't wake her. I feel like I can't do anything but crochet or read.

I was going to do some decluttering here but I think that will be easier while dad and my sister are here. Probably we can go through a lot of stuff and be ruthless.

Shower time

[L.Ann]

Morning All. I do lots of short exercise bursts, helian! I usually walk in 20 minute chunks unless I have a friend to walk with. My stretching and knee exercises take 30 minutes but the dance and yoga videos I do are only 10 minutes…. Or with yoga I break the video into 10 minutes chunks. It probably isn’t as beneficial but I like the stretching and I have more trouble talking myself out of spending 10 minutes doing something!
