I had a pretty productive weekend. Lot of yardwork, laundry, dishes, bathrooms, vacuuming. And got DH out of the house for a bit. Trying to keep things as normal as possible for him.

I'd love a day to sleep in, toomuchreality. I'm dog tired. Well, that day won't be tomorrow, because after DS catches his ride to work, I'll be off to the dentist.

I'd love a day to sleep in, toomuchreality. I'm dog tired. Well, that day won't be tomorrow, because after DS catches his ride to work, I'll be off to the dentist. I enjoyed myself! Before I woke up the first time, I laid in bed with my eyes closed, just enjoying myself, until my eyes opened. It was great! I was LAZY today and have done nothing. I was going to go buy another digital antenna (from someone on FB market place), to put in my front room, so I don't have to disconnect and move the one from my bedroom. But since an antenna only works out there if the door is open and the antenna is sitting out on my balcony (no reception inside), I may have changed my mind. I'm not sure now. It would be more convenient though, as long as it works. And the other antenna is fairly cheap. I would have gone and got it late yesterday afternoon, if the seller had been available. Hmm... 🤔

Good Morning Kids! It's Monday, but I'd better try & enjoy it, because today will be one of the better weather days this week.
I'm off to the dentist in a bit. Praying I don't need any new work, because I really don't want any big projects as DD's wedding is coming up too quickly.

I walked all around my house this morning. Appears to me it's mostly done and just needs the seeding of the lawn.
Backhoe is in the back yard and the neighbor on the other side must have wanted some half dead bushes removed because they are in the pile of debris.
On the other side, there is a guy out there digging by hand and my contractor isnt' here yet.

Well nuts! I just wasted a lot of time & gas money, as the dental hygienist called in sick, and of course they tried to call me as I was getting DS onto his ride for work. Now I get to make another long drive later this week. I hate Mondays.

It was raining all night long. Hard. It's still rainng/snowing in some areas, today. It's very dark and overcast.
It would be a perfect day for sleeping. After napping yesterday, I didn't get to sleep until 7 this morning.
Because I expected the maintenance guy to come this morning, I set my alarm and got up and dressed. Now I wish I hadn't.
I'm glad it isn't a thunder storm.

Good Morning Kids! We've got a lot of rain that's supposed to arrive just about any time now. I did NOT sleep well last night. Plus, I was going back & forth between being too warm & too cold, so I think it could be a long day today...

I have peace and quiet this morning. My waterproofing job is done. Should get it's first test later today.
I didn't sleep well either. I was able to keep going back to sleep so I did just that until 9:30 AM. I don't usually sleep that late.
I know the previous 8 days were very stressful and now the stress is gone.

Hey Kids, I consider today to be a success. I had to call the SS office, got through the first time, and was only on hold for 1/2 hour.

Good Morning Kids! This insomnia thing must be going around because I didn't get much sleep either. Hoping to sneak in a nap before DD stops by for dinner, but I have a long list of things to do first.

I think I went to sleep, right after I posted, on here. And I slept well. I didn't want to wake up when my alarm went off. I'm sorry that others didn't sleep well. I wish you had. I hope you are able to get through the day without much effort. Thinking of you.

Good Afternoon Kids! I survived the dentist, and should need to go back for awhile. It's sunny & cool right now. I need to do errands, but feel like I need a nap, so decisions...

Now we have a frost warning.
Thought about turning on the a/c over the weekend, but didn't do it. Then rain Tuesday and again today and now a frost warning.

Good Morning Kids! We had to cover the plants by the front of the house, as we're expecting frost the next 3 nights. Such strange weather!
I've been busy scheduling wedding stuff, and trying to plan the best way to get us up to the big day. That includes buying up a bunch of stuff. I don't expect to have time to waste running to the grocery store every time we get low on something.

busymom one of the best things I did on the actual wedding day was get a meat/cheese platter, crackers, a platter of little sandwiches, and a case of water. Everyone was getting ready at the church and I put it in the hallway and anyone who was at the church early helping or getting ready could help themselves. It was a totally spur of the moment last minute thing but it kept everyone hydrated and they had a little something in their stomachs.

I went to the eye doctor appointment. I will need new glasses but first their is a medical issue she wants to see if she can clear up.
It's not glaucoma. It's the continuing problem I have had in my right eye since before I moved here. The vision in that eye is getting worse. So we are trying a couple things and then more testing of for that problem. No new glasses until we see what the testing shows.

This was so smart! At both of my daughters weddings, we were all starving!

This was so smart! At both of my daughters weddings, we were all starving! That IS a great idea. When I got married, it was around lunchtime, but DD's wedding will be late in the day, and who knows if the catering group will be up & running when we get to the reception hall? I just don't want to start snacking so much that I don't fit into my dress. I'm remembering today how the tailor shop warned me to try it on about 2 weeks before the wedding just in case we need to do any last-minute adjustments. I doubt I'll need any. I've been gradually ramping up my exercise program, but the doggone scale hasn't improved any.

Happy Friday Muffins!!!
We are back on the weather roller coaster. Close to 80 on Sunday then down to the 30s yesterday and 40s today and then back to close to 80 by the end of next week. We did finally get some moisture in the form of rain. I did relent and turn my A/C on Sunday. It irks me having to use it in April.
Have a Superb Weekend All!!!

Wishing you the best with whatever is happening with your eye, TheOtherMe. Are you seeing floaters, in addition to the change in vision? Don't be afraid to go see a specialist in the "big city" if you're not getting answers to all of your questions.

Wishing you the best with whatever is happening with your eye, TheOtherMe . Are you seeing floaters, in addition to the change in vision? Don't be afraid to go see a specialist in the "big city" if you're not getting answers to all of your questions. I have had floaters for over 30 years. It's a muscle in the back of the cornea. She showed me pictures and I have seen pictures since I was shown pictures in Colorado. I will do what she suggested. At one time, I had laser surgery on that eye. Laser surgery is very easy--no sedation, etc. and it's done in the office, but she can't do that. I did learn the last time, I need a driver after laser surgery. I was not safe to drive myself home and I did.
