Getting ready to head to Bro's for Thanksgiving part 2. I wish the van was more loaded and ready to go as I had hoped to get an early start tomorrow. It is taking me longer to get things packed up and loaded up since I'm getting down to the nitty gritty of what's left. From now on it is pretty much paper plates, toast, simple things to microwave and take out. I probably should have left out a small fry pan, oh well. Time to take some aspirin and fine some shoes and pants, all of the above will be required for going to my brothers.
I'm thinking the pants are a must!😉

Good Morning Kids! I actually spent too much time shopping online yesterday. It wasn't Christmas presents I was buying. It's a great day to score deals on everyday stuff.

Hello peeps! Sharon be nice to yourself. Moving is a big deal, so treat yourself well. Just got back from small biz Saturday... DH does not really remember stores and places anymore, or how to get to them. But I did want him to at least get out of the house. We had our coffee date, I did my chocolate buying and a stop at the produce stand. I have what is left of the turkey breast simmering in a small pot for stock for soup base.

Peeps, are we done eating yet? Nope -- we need energy to put up those holiday decorations!

Good Morning Kids! I did church online this morning, because I've got a mild but annoying cough, and didn't want to panic anyone if I had a coughing fit. (And yes, I've got one of those gizmos that measures oxygen levels, just in case of the "virus that shall not be named"...)

OK, bike is lubed and cleaned and the rest bars removed (a requirement of the Games...no assistive devices allowed, including rest bars. Heck, at our age, we need 'em). Swept the garage, trimmed some bushes and pulled some weeds, too. Finished filing and shredding and all the household trash is out. Those poor sanitation guys are gonna need some serious masks to avoid the smell of week-old trash in this area; we normally have pick up Monday and Thursday, but none last Thursday due to Thanksgiving. busymom , I wondered about those oxygen readers. I am considering getting one. I just checked Amazon, and they are pretty reasonably priced.

I got one a long time ago. I know where it is. I hope I never need to use it.

Yes, I have tried it out. It's a cheapo version, so I just ordered a better quality one on Black Friday. My numbers are good, but it was interesting to see that my oxygen level is actually better while I'm exercising, than when I'm sitting at my desk. Not a huge difference, it went from 96 to 98, but when I stopped exercising, I was back down to 96. The body is complex.

Ok, I have to say it. I HATE this time of the year! At only 4:15 pm, it was so dark at my desk that I already needed to switch on a light to see. Sugi & I used to sort of do a countdown to the shortest day of the year (December 21st), then enjoy it as the days gradually get longer once again. It's not that it's dark yet outside, but the light inside the house goes out quickly this time of the year. Kind of hard to clear out my desk paperwork when you can't see anything. I almost forgot: Happy Hannukah to our friends here who celebrate!

Hi, Kids!! I've been away a while - shattered my foot and had to have surgery to put in metal rods & cross bars across the top of my foot. Spent a few mo's in hospital, but I'm all back to normal now with my 'robot' foot.
THEN, my laptop crashed & burned but finally got myself a new little Chromebook yesterday, so It's good to be back & catching up on all the posts, memes, jokes etc. Good to "see" you all again.

Into the final countdown, having troubles getting the last things packed up. I'm tired, tired of the process, tired of stupid people, just plain tired. My stress is coming out in my neck and lower back. I sign all the papers for both houses this afternoon and then everything funds tomorrow and the movers will be here on Thursday.

Everything funded today and was properly recorded. The movers will be here tomorrow morning and I still have so much to do. DD picked up the key to the new place tonight. The realtor over there couldn't be bothered to meet me there tomorrow to hand over the key. Right now I'm taking a little break and eating leftover cold pizza for dinner.

Welcome back ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ! Now that you've escaped the hospital, and have a new computer, don't be a stranger. Today ended up being busier than planned. I still haven't started writing up my Christmas cards, but then, we're still dealing with funeral stuff.

ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ yay for robot feet (I have two of them - pins and plates in each foot) - ain't technology grand? I am done working for the week; off tomorrow to pack and prep for round one of the senior games -- Saturday is the cycling - 20K, then a rest and then 40K road races.

Good Morning Kids! The weathernerds lied once again, as we got a dusting of sNOw overnight. At least it is melting off. But, with colder temps heading our way, I suspect the next time it'll stick.

Morning,kids. busymom- we had a rain/sNOw mix Wed. that froze on roads overnight turning them very icy/dicey.. Then last night a new dusting of sNOw - so it's made even the sidewalks a challenge. The joys of first sNOwfalls.

Spent my first night in the new house. I am definitely going to need a fast/junk food detox once I'm more settled. Getting the catering tray of sandwiches from the deli of the grocery store was a good call. I also picked up a fruit tray and some chips. That was lunch for the me and movers and then dinner for me and DD's family. The two year old ate his weight in fruit. He liked the red ones (strawberries) and Trumps (cantaloupe) the best. We did discover that I have dirtiest floors known to mankind. The kids were running through the house barefoot and there feet were absolutely black. The majority of the floors in the house are very dark so they don't show the dirt at first glance but the barefoot test showed just how much scrubbing Grandma needs to do. Today is empty the storage unit day and DSIL has a very long MIL honey-do list. This includes getting the correct cord on the dryer so I can get some laundry done and setting up the TV.

Congratulations Sharon! Hope once you get the basics done, that you're very comfortable in your new home. Good Morning Kids! We've got a normal, cloudy, gloomy Winter day, which means it'll be perfect for writing Christmas cards.

Sharon glad you are in the house! Well, peeps, the cycling event left something to be desired. Ran two hours late and no bathrooms. No a porta-potty in sight. And we used a megachurch parking lot. People were inside the megachurch, but we stinky cyclists were not welcome. Let's just say their landscaping got used pretty good.

Can you say tired, everything hurts. We emptied all 3 storage units today and hauled it all home. It was cold all day and really cold this morning. We did the biggest unit this morning and when we got back to the house everyone was tired and cold and ate huge lunches. We got the truck unloaded and then went back and did the two smaller units. The truck is unloaded but at the very end instead of walking stuff back to the shop to put it there I just told them to put it in the garage and call it a day. No one argued. We got Shari's for dinner and topped it off with chocolate pie. DGS1 was excited about pumpkin pie, yes it was chocolate but he kept calling it pumpkin pie. DGD ate most of her pie but I didn't realize that she doesn't like whipping cream. The kids were really good all things considered and even helped carry things. DGS1 did have fun playing on the ramp from the truck which was a little inconvenient but he wasn't whining or crying.
Tomorrow will be more projects around the house. There will probably be a trip to home depot but the kids should have more time to just play. There is a possibility of snow Sunday afternoon into Monday morning.
