SHEs Organized

Consistency - routines -

I had heard once that there is a beauty to consistency - a freeing of the soul by doing a little each day -

Does consistency help you during the day and the week.

wishing you a wonderful week

pulling my cards - I think I will do that the night before from now on.

brothers wife/sister in law is coming over this morning.

we had rain again - it was lovely to wake up to that!!!

Hi Blessedw2! Thank you for starting us off today.

I have emptied and refilled the dishwasher.
I have taken out the bathroom and kitchen garbage.
I have done most of the pots and pans. They have also been dried and they are on the stovetop waiting to be put away.
All 3 cats have been in and out of the house numerous times and they have all had their morning treat.

I am dressed to shoes. It's cold enough here that I am considering putting on long pants. Right now I'm wearing shorts and a short sleeve top. It's very windy here today as well.

Dh wants burritos tonight. I told him we have taco shells and seasonings. If he wants burritos, he needs to go get the stuff for me to make it.

waving d cathy, d harriet and d twins and everyone
setting my timer - I will be back to say hello individually

brothers wife is coming in two hours to see mom.

Nice to have rain overnight, bw2, leave the ground damp to work in today.

Cathy, I broached the TV this a.m. with dh, asking if we could plan to turn it off around 9;30 or 10 daily downstairs. He has a room upstairs where he can watch TV all day if he wants, and I reminded him it wasn't good for him to sit there and play on his phone with the TV on so long. He's been out and worked out before 7: and I understand him wanting to veg out some. OTOH, it's annoying to me when it's on so long. I really asked nicely, staying away from "rules" and just saying it was part of working out him being at home so much.

He showering now to bowl in a senior thing today so he'll be out some. I also have my workout at two.

We had a good time out yesterday, tho I felt it was too hot for a boat ride. I went anyway and of course it was fine. But we got caught with thunder and rain trying to move in so came back sooner than A would have otherwise. Had drinks and snacks overlooking the river and then went to a nearby restaurant for supper.

I have the Roomba going already and have lamb pulled out of the freezer for our supper. Dh will grill, and also corn on the cob from the grill, and something green. I've also walked the ddog two laps.

Wishing sometimes that I used cards but a cklist on the computer seems to work for me.

Morning....

I am definitely still in recovery mode and not feeling very well. Miserable would best describe it. I have a drs appointment this afternoon and I sure have alot to share with him. Headaches, teeth aches with no energy. I am not a happy camper. The crude that is coming out of my nose and throat is red/black junk. So I'm guessing my infection is still raging. I ended up taking another pain pill late yesterday afternoon.

However, yesterday, I was motivated to tackle two huge decluttering jobs. I have a 150+ yr old hope chest that now sits in my garage. Over the years it has help many of my table clothes, napkins and many other things I used in the past to entertain. I also have a closet in my home with many of the same items. I bit the bullet and attacked both of them yesterday.

It was one of the most difficult challenge to do. I had table clothes and napkins for many kinds of occasions including some that were from my mom. I had hopes of continuing some of my entertaining when I moved here, but the reality of that ever happening again is nil. With that understanding I went to work and filled 2 large black leaf bags of things I knew I would never use again. It was tough but I'm glad its done.

Tomorrow I will drop them off at Goodwill. I am at peace with that.

Next is to go through all my china, crystal and other entertaining pieces. If I haven't used any of them since I moved here they are gone. Need to find some boxes to pack them in.

Twins.. I had Einstein working yesterday. Sweetie and I run into the same problem with the noise from the TV, especially when we end up in the bedroom at the end of the day. Our solution is to purchase headphones so I can watch tv without bothering Sweetie. He, like you, is sensitive to the continual sound of the TV so that's what we do. For me, the advantage of wearing my headphones is that I can hear the voices coming from the tv to the point that I like wearing them as much as possible. Your DH could wear them and still sit in your living room without the sound bothering you. I too have a tv in my office, but am much happier watching it in my living room to bedroom

Off to finish getting dressed and then head for my appointment... This should be interest!

BBL...........................

Good morning

I was sleeping so peacefully when the alarm went off this morning. I might have let out a little growl in protest before dragging myself out of bed to start the day.

Both teens were up and getting ready by 7 a.m. We left the house at 7:35 to drop DD14 off at school before heading out of our little town. DS17 had his blood drawn at the lab in the city, which turned into a bit of a hassle because the doctor’s order wasn’t there. I called the doctor’s office twice before the order was finally faxed and received. The doctor’s office claimed they had faxed it twice, while the lab insisted they never got it. Eventually, the third fax worked. This ended up taking an hour I didn’t have to spare this morning, but all’s well that ends well.

I drove through Jack in the box on the way out of the city at DS17 insistence that he was faint and light heated. He had been without food for 12 hours and in drama mode. Sometimes there isn't much difference between toddlers and teens.

Homeschool is happening.
