Good Morning Kids! I got up extra early, and went to both the meat market and the grocery store, before they got too busy. Still cool here, and only in the mid-40's.

No sNOw on the ground here. There was sNOw nearby just not in my yard. It is unseasonably cold. Think I heard the mailman. Time to go see.

Hello peeps! Gorgeous day today, but expecting rain tomorrow. Doing laundry, including bedsheets and also getting some freelance done.

Another very warm day expected today. I will see how much painting I can get done before it gets too warm. Then Mom wants to venture out to the store, she says she has a really long list this week. There is no way she would order online, they might steal her credit card number. It has probably been a couple of months since Mom has been to the grocery store so if I can limit it to that I guess I'm doing good.

Looks like overcast and rain all day here, peeps. That's fine, though. I have laundry and freelance to do. Will order out from our local Italian restaurant later -- DH wants pizza. I will probably get an entree with chicken. We'll have leftovers from both.

Good Afternoon Kids! Happy Mother's Day! DD spoiled me again by making brunch. NancysSummerSip , those fruit & granola parfaits look REALLY good. (Busy grabs one, and a couple pieces of bacon...) BTW, the sNOw missed us. Either than, or it melted before we got up this morning...

The brunch looks wonderful. I think I will have some leftover waffles and fruit for dinner.
Finished up painting across the back of the house, that took me 5 hours. All that is left for the first coat of color is the bottom half of the East side wall. The guy I hired a few weeks ago painted the peak part. The East wall is the shortest wall. Once that is done the first coat of color will be done. Then on to second coat of color. The kids stopped by for a little while and brought me a bird bath for Mother's day. I'm delighted, my other one that I've had for so many years has a crack in it. After they left I went out and mowed the lawn. It is really hot and humid out. I have showered and am cooling off a little bit, then will take Mom to the grocery store.

UGH grocery shopping went about as expected, which means not good. The parking lot was full, very few people were wearing masks. Hey our county has the highest per capita COVID rate in the state, why bother with a mask. Mom had her mask off about every 10 feet to wipe her nose. We had talked some about stocking up in case she gets suddenly scheduled for her second hip surgery or if the second wave of COVID is as bad as they say. Her idea of stocking up is birthday cards (which she reads and puts back etc. I told her that was a high touch area which made her mad), the ingredients for smores, cracker jacks, and of course the candy. I never realized how much candy my Mom eats. She did pick up an extra laundry detergent and pkg of toilet paper. There was no meat or frozen veggies in her cart.

Sharon Sorry shopping did not go well. Things are the same around here. I think I am going to go out to me car and see if it hurts to hit the brake. I stopped taking the heavy pain killers on Thursday. Just Advil and Tylenol for now. Temperatures are below normal and it is not sunny out.

Good Morning Kids! There was actually frost on the grass in the low spots of our backyard this morning. Rather late for that here, but then, most folks don't put in a garden until Memorial Weekend anyway... Hope you're feeling better, ners! I normally take Advil for pain, but when I heard people who get the virus react badly to taking Advil, I'm now using Tylenol.

busymom I am alternating between Advil and Tylenol. I am doing okay. Am going back to 1/2 days for a week starting tomorrow from home for the most part. I am going into the office Thursday afternoon. I was able to hit the brake without pain.

Good Morning Kids! Today HAS to be better than yesterday. DS ended up having a seizure, but his new doctor doesn't want to adjust his meds just yet. Then, DH borrowed a lawn tool from the neighbors, and ended up accidentally hurling a rock through one of the windows into his car. Men & power tools they're not familiar with. NOT a good combination...

I only work 7 hour days. Took me 2.5 hours to plow thru and respond to emails. I was very good and had not logged in at all while I was off.

Good Morning Kids! We got some rain overnight, but the sun is out now, and shining brightly. We should warm up into the weekend. I finally found a large refill size of liquid soap today. It only took me all week to find one. I've got paperwork to slog through today, and laundry. Fun, fun...

Good Morning Kids! How are you feeling, ners? Sometimes, it isn't the day after surgery that's the toughest (at least for me, sometimes it's several days later that I feel really tired...). The sun is out, and our warm-up is underway. Weird weather is continuing. We go from snow flurries to 80 degrees in less than 2 weeks, if the forecast is correct for next week.

busymom I am feeling okay. Only taking Tylenol and Ibuprofen for pain. Only took it twice yesterday. Outside of not sleeping well the last 2 days things are progressing well.

Hello my fine and fab peeps! Been a cloudy and rainy two days thanks to a subtropical storm off the coast. We do need the rain, though. I will go out and weed the yard later. I was not sure we would get to swim this morning due to lightning in the area, but we got it done. Got to the salon to get all smooth again. Cosmetologist wore mask and gloves and sanitized all surfaces before I used them (I was the first customer of the day, always a good idea if possible).

Good Afternoon Kids! I'm planning to make taco salad today, but can't find the chips I usually top it with, anywhere. So, we'll make it without the chips. I mowed the backyard late yesterday, and finished the front yard today. We're supposed to get some rain, but haven't seen any yet. It has been a bit dry here, so just a bit of rain would be welcome.

I got the garden planted this morning. The prep work wasn't the best but the plants are in the ground and a row of beans planted. It is too wet/drizzly to paint.
Next up is to finish planting a couple more hanging baskets and maybe a couple more pots for the deck, depends on what is left over. I made a quick trip to Home Depot early this morning for potting soil so it shouldn't take too long to finish up that project.

Well, I may have to wait a bit to weed. It started raining again. We are in the tail end of what is now an invest, with a 100% chance of development. Moving away from us towards the NC coast.

Today turned out to be a much nicer day than expected. I made a small dent in the massive amount of yard work that needs to be done.

Yumm NancysSummerSip. I am going to grab a croissant and a bowl of fruit. Right now I'm vacuuming and starting to move the furniture so the guys can start the trim work tomorrow.
