Thursday How did it get so late so soon? PWYC

How did it get so late so soon?
It’s night before it’s afternoon.
December is here before it’s June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?”

LOL, it's late because I just spent a humbling 40 minutes upstairs with Microsoft support finding the 1di0t (idiot) code error that I've struggled with for weeks. Let's just say, operator error. (I wasn't signed into Dropbox actually.)

I have my workout this afternoon, dh is out this p.m.

I need to get into the shower.

Thank you for starting us off today Twins' Mom!

I couldn't come up with anything for today. I think I was awake too early even though it was 7 a.m. I had no choice but to get dressed and get outside to take the compost bin down the driveway. Brrr... it's 0 degrees Celcius today, which is okay. Better than seeing a minus sign in front. So, last night it poured rain. This morning there is a coating of ice on both vehicles. I'm seriously considering going back to bed.

Good morning

Twins - I have BTDT sooooooo many times. Maybe not that exact mistake but I've done more than my share of overlooking the simple errors. Glad it was something easy to solve instead of regedit or rebuild. Don't forget to give yourself a well deserved POTB for sticking with it and finding a solution. You didn't give up so I think you deserve a gold star for your diligence.

DD14 had a mishap during the night (monthly arrived) that started her day off with frustration. We talked through it and she admitted to being glad it didn't arrive a few hours later to catch her off guard while at school. She was smiling by the time I dropped her off at school. I've got the washer going to take care of the items soiled.

last night I made mom homemade French fries - used 2 russets and it ended up feeding all of us.
sloppy joes
her carrot salad.

I have to tell you something funny - surprised me from dh.
I had asked if he would go to the the butcher shop for their chicken fajitas 2 pounds. I said if you want I can pay you $20 to go - jokingly - saying you should get paid for your work - I smiled. he seriously said yes I should get paid. I gave him $20 and He took it!!! serious - no balking - he put it in his wallet! I was surprised - off he went.

ready to get mom up a helper that we like is here

I remember having the hardest time convincing my dds to consider the future and note the passage of time, and whether they could guesstimate the arrival and be more prepared. Not completely prepared, of course, just more prepared. Always a difficulty to pinpoint. Ddolder was a little more aware than her younger sister, but maybe actually found it more predictable.

It's the day for our annual checkup of the HVAC system, a little early, actually, since we've had some trouble with it. One of their vans is in the driveway and a fellow is under the house now taking photos. A nice guy.

But yet again, their office informed the wrong house-contact that he was on the way, interrupting ddolder at work during a meeting. That, of course, worries her that if she doesn't let us know, we might not catch on that someone was coming, or know if they didn't get to the right house. We've been trying to get them to correct their computer notification system, which tells them where to call, etc., for years now. HRH keeps minimizing, telling them it's our daughter, but that's not the point. They are literally calling neighbors rather than the house that is expecting a service person. Dd isn't supposed to take time to do their jobs.

I wonder what is the present tense of flewn? Because my goodness how the time is doing that. Whatever it is.

UP on time and glad for that.
Slept well also glad for that too.
Sun is up and shining here today.
Got to see the pink in the sky.

Cold and frosty out glad I did errands on the warmest day of the week.
Did my QT & MP & bujo.
Daily log in my planner is next.
I should do some writing but am at a crossroads and need to make some decisions contemplating those.

Workers up the street were later and quieter this morning.
It's the water co. trucks doing stuff.

Chopped up mushers to go in with my eggs in a bit. x
-----
Did a bit of writing just need a bit to finish up the letter.
Did some knitting.
SO glad for the sunshine here today!
-----
Sawed some wood surprised myself how much I got done. Yea!
The biggest one and smaller ones that were too long.
3 others that might fit in the fire pit, if not I can do them another day.

The title resembles me!

It’s Thursday so that means laundry. Three loads done and put away. To be honest I started last night.

Sweetie decided to snore through the night so I moved to the couch. I have several calls to made today and need to empty the dishwasher.

Yesterday went to my ENT hearing appointment and walked away having to order a pair of hearing aids. I get them on Monday and can’t wait.. could believe the different in my hearing when I tried on the demonstration pair.

Actually, in the instructions they sent me to "fix" it a few days ago, I had to do a regedit, and I told them I wasn't comfortable doing it, thus the support call. I feel bad it took 40 min to resolve, but it did. Anyway, that's why I pay for a Microsoft 365 subscription.

I've s2s-ed and I asked dh to walk the dog. He seems to regard it as my job. He's going to be out mid day for a massage.

I'm eating my brunch, already dressed (except for shoes) for my workout later. We've had rain, so I wonder if it's going to be hard for me to get out the door later?

Harriet, glad the HVAC people got to you. That is annoying that they call the wrong house.

And bw2's dh running errands? That is great! How did the dbro's visit go yesterday?

Waving to Cathy - the high here is supposed to be mid seventies - I promise your time will come! How are dh's legs looking? Worried for you, I'm not sure he understand what he has to lose there (literally.)

And waving to RR and Nancy!
