A beautiful fall morning here. Younger DD called as she always does on her morning trip to work and they had their first frost in MA. She had her tushie warmer on in the car this morning. She said it was brrrrrr......We're heading north to visit her this weekend so I may have to pull out some sweaters.
The scan was quick yesterday. Not the 1 1/2 they had originally told me. That was nice surprise. I'll call later today to see if they have results. They're the kind of office don't call us we'll call you which I'm not a fan of. DH hung up curtain rods for me, the big mirror and some pictures over the bed in the spare room. All the pictures in there are going to be beach type pictures. I found some photos from a ride to Montauk and DD had blown up some pictures from slides that my Dad had taken. Everything is in black frames and looks so nice against the yellow walls. I'm trying to repurpose things and my bedroom curtains are now in my dining room. I've always had valance type curtains and these are a nice change of pace. Then there was the trip to Lowe's in search of a new doorbell...oh my. Wireless, not wireless, which doorbell ring, which case is going to cover up the existing hole. Well the bottom line, the new one doesn't cover up the hole, DH doesn't like the ring. And then the search for an air conditioner cover. We were sent to seasonal, couldn't find it so while DH was still perusing seasonal for the umpteenth time I went to the service desk who said they were moved and she sent me to see Harry. Apparently Harry knows where everything is and lo and behold in Aisle 3...air conditioner covers. One dimesion too small, one too big. Hopefully it will fit! It's amazing how changing some frames and pictures and adding an existing rug and curtains to a different room in the house changes the whole room.
Not sure how I'm spending the day. I know I have to get into the basement and make room for the vanity that I have no place for at the moment. Everything is getting tossed down there until I can get down there and really go through everything. But for now I keep walking into that piece of furniture on my nightly trip to the facilities and I really don't want anymore bruises or another broken toe! I also want to try to get a good cleaning in. I think DH plans on working outside. The lawn needs to thatched and reseeded which was supposed to be done weeks ago. The mess of a backyard needs to be cleaned out as well. So much to do and always to little time-even on vacation!
Nancy-hope Mother Nature cooperates for your harvest. No need to apologize for talking about the weather-it's your livlihood. Doesn't it feel good when you do the purge and toss? Still working on it around here and still watching stuff coming back in that was supposed to be going out!
Donna-Happy Belated Anniversary! Your dinner sounded so yummy!
Patty-good luck with the new flock!
Waving hi to everyone and hope you're all well. Hope you'll all enjoy a wonderful Wednesday!
HI! I know I haven't posted for awhile again. I hope everyone is doing ok. Thanks for thinking of me all...so nice and comforting. New flock Patty? Good luck with the new arrivals.
Same ole same ole around here, except the rodent was served and things seem to be moving along finally. Got a cold from the rug rats and there is a wedding in R. I. this weekend. I also have been subbing/teaching a bunch of Zumba the past couple of weeks. I have a class today and tomorrow evenings. Love it!!! Some of them are donation classes for breast cancer and I don't get paid for them. It is for a good cause and I don't mind at all.
I am actually cleaning today and the house is empty for a couple of hours so I am going to get to the kitchen floor. OH...Son and DinL closed on their house yesterday. Yes...things are really moving along. The house is a 1946 vintage and needs a lot of work so it looks like they won't be getting in until next year.
After I finish cleaning, making beds, and doing something about dinner, I will be back to read posts and catch up a little.
Good morning ladies never made it to the board yesterday. Work was just unreal here. Not working on Friday, boss came in on Saturday (he was rumaging through our files on our desks), and we were closed on Monday. Katie didn't feel well yesterday but got through the day complaining of an upset stomach which turned into her vomiting last night. Bill was up too doing the same thing so it was a long night last night. Katie stayed home today but Bill went in...........I ran to the office for fear of getting what those two have, lol. My morning here was busy and hectic since the phones were ringing off the wall and I was the only sect. in town........again! All is calm right now, thank goodness and I hope it stays that way. My boss is actually out today, he is having a colonoscopy done this afternoon and he stayed home to prep! I have a feeling dinner will be very low key for the two sickies.......toast and tea for Katie and english muffin for Bill. Got lots done with the garage electric this weekend and Bill was out running more wire last night. Our electrician is due to come on Friday to finish up then Bill's next project out there will be the heatinging system. When we get done this garage will have cost us what some people pay for a small house. My husband is crazy but this has been his biggest dream for a very long time so I keep my mouth shut. The pool guy finally showed up late yesterday afternoon and adjusted the wall/sides of the pool, they are finally straight now. He also buried the ground wires that were running along the sides of the pool so we won't be tripping over them any more. I don't think he touched the pool filter yet so maybe today, then again maybe next month! Roofer showed up for about 10 minutes, used his ruler and left......who knows anymore. These are very sore subjects at our house right now and it does not make for good dinner conversations. We are all fustrated, over worked, under paid, and stressed to the maximum. I am guessing tonight should be fairly quiet with both Bill and Katie feeling under the weather. I need to balance check books and pay bills before they come and turn my lights off. I went to JC on Monday and I stayed the same, disappointing but understandable. When you stray off the program, this is what happens. No time or energy or desire to exercise and yet I know I need to find all to make my changes. I am off tomorrow and I have moved my nail appointment up since my nails are not doing to well this week. If the weather is nice Katie and I will be driving to NJ to meet up with Bill and the boys at the race track on Saturday and well that kind of rounds out my plans for the next few days. Notice the board is very quiet, so many people missing that used to be regulars. Shame that people stray and stay away for so long. Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday and I will check back with everyone later!
