It's Friday, famous for focusing on footprint fixes and fleet, dancing feet.
Maybe a swinging, swaying Conga, or, as blessed once suggested, The Swish and Swipe Waltz.
Find your favorite methods of making Friday a great start to your weekend.

What a fantastic start for Friday Harriet! Thank you for starting us off today!
Last night dh and I sat out on the patio and dh was NOT happy about all the weeds. He got kind of verbal about it as well. He's the one that does the weed whacking. Maybe he will actually go outside and whack some weeds today. I've been outside 3 times pulling some of the tallest ones this morning . I've also started removing all the "stuff" like decorative things and terra cotta planters, etc. We didn't plant any pretty flowers because I was busy taking care of paperwork that had a deadline and I was driving back and forth to get it all taken care of in a timely manner... I think I was doing "angry weeding" this morning actually. Dh also hinted broadly without saying that he would prefer it if I cut all the grass this week. He actually asked if I was going to get it done "tomorrow morning because it needs to be cut".
He is still in bed, so maybe I should just go out and cut the grass. I don't think brown grass actually grows, but I'm going to do it any way.
I've also put away 3 loads of clean laundry and I rewashed all the pots/pans and large utensils he did a couple of days ago. I actually started to put stuff away and realized it was greasy, so I used hot soapy water and redid all of the stuff that was in the dish rack.
One nice thing about this morning was being able to hear a rooster somewhere in the neighbourhood.
Another good "F" word is "fuming". because I think it would describe me. Sorry, if anyone wants me to delete any part of this post I will.

Good Morning
(((Cathy))) Never shy away from sharing real life. This is a safe place to share. I don't know anyone that hasn't had similar moments.
I could have slept in this morning, but my body had other plans and wouldn't let me. I was up at 5 a.m., starting on my usual tasks. Around 6ish, DD14 came to chat with me. By 7:30, I made sure to wake up DS17 as he had requested. DH was outside working by 8am. He will need to come inside around 10 because of the heat index.
I feel so hungry today, like I could eat everything and still not feel full.

Back yard has been cut. I also did the fringe between the farmer's field and the back of our yard.
To cool off a bit, I came in and put away the clean dishes from the dish rack. I also unloaded the dishwasher. Now the dirty dishes from last night are getting ready to go into the dishwasher.
I thin the iron supplement and the B12 are working as I have a lot of energy today. I've also started using Glucosamine capsules. My hips and knees don't hurt as much this week as they did last week. When my ex called to tell me his dad died last year, he was saying that his dad took Glucosamine for years before he died and he was able to walk with very little pain well into his 90's, so I thought I should give it a try.
Time to go back outside.

Grass is as done as I'm going to do it. Dishes are in the dishwasher. When I'm at Fibre Friday group I will walk over to the pharmacy and pick up dh's medication that is waiting for him.

Good morning afternoon!
Cathy and Nancy, isn't it annoying how the weeds keep growing even when the grass stops?
I hope your appointments today go (are going? went?) smoothly, Harriet!
So glad things are going better with your mother, blessed -- howdy right back atcha!
I hope something hits bottom in your tummy, LadyM.
Fundraiser went well last night, though we didn't win any of the raffle baskets. One of the women at our table won 3, but she put in $100 worth of tickets.
DC's payment to the college finally went through, so I don't have to worry about their schedule getting canceled again.
I haven't made the currant coulis/syrup yet. Maybe I'll get to it today, but the later it gets, the less hope I hold out. I have to go to church at 5, so if I start, I'll have to have my mess cleaned up by about 4 so I have time to wash the purple off.
Been doing research into the DVR situation (with the help of Reddit). My choices each seem to have more cons than pros, but for the way we watch TV, anything is better than nothing. Our antenna currently runs through our DVR, so we can't watch broadcast right now, just streaming. This is fine for now, because there's always baseball to watch, and we stream that, but I'm going to have to figure out something soon. I guess I'll have to sit DH down and run through the pros and cons with him.
I've got a load of laundry sitting next to me waiting to be folded, so I should do that and then have some lunch. Have a great day, everybody!
