DGD1's birthday is Wed. She had a mermaid swimming party today. I went, but didn't swim. I stayed in the "birthday room" and watched through the window.
The kids were really good.
After swimming, we had Firehouse Subs for lunch and she opened her gifts.
Good times!
Now I'm going to do some laundry and the dishes.
Thanks for the snacks, Nancy! The coffee bar sounds like a great idea!

I took a two hour nap after church today, best decision ever.

skeeter, the lasagna bites are not located near the other frozen meals, at my Walmart. They're located in the section of family size meals from different locations. Maybe that's why you haven't seen them? -Just a thought.

Maybe that's why you haven't seen them? -Just a thought. Thank you for the heads up! I'll try looking in that area next time I have a grocery run to do. As a side note, had their vegetable lasagna the other night and it was horrible. It was sooooo bad, ended up throwing half of it out. Even my cats walked away from it despite liking it before. Must have changed/messed up their recipe.

Good Evening Kids! It's been raining off & on most of the day. I'd love to see some sunshine, but the birds are singing their Spring songs, so at least they're happy. It's been a full day, and yes, I took a long nap this afternoon too.

busymom How are you feeling. Yesterday it rained off and on. Around 4:30 PM my DF looked out his window to the east and the sun was shining. He came out of the bedroom and said was that thunder the sun is shining. He then looked out the door (facing west) and said wow what a difference.

Good Morning Kids! It's a Monday. I took the last of my medication this morning. My right side still aches a bit when walking, so I definitely AM going to do a follow-up doctor appointment in a couple of weeks to see how I'm healing up. But first, I need to be with my relative at the hospital when he has surgery a week from Friday. Duty calls. Our puppy has no concept yet of what is yukky. She'll pee, then sit in it, or, like this morning, she pooped on the kitchen floor, then ran through the mess. I've lost count of how many extra baths I've had to give her, compared to when Speedy was little. Oh well, with a puppy, you know it'll be messy until they're potty trained...

I know that there are shortages and that more shortages are coming but last night I had the hardest time buying a hamburger that wasn't fast food. I was tired and didn't feel good and just wanted a good burger for dinner, that I didn't have to cook. Since I'm in a small town my options are limited. The Shari's restaurant was out of hamburger patties, the OMG burger place was closed, the local hamburger place in the food truck pod was closed. I finally ordered one from the local brew pub and it was nasty. Way too salty, soggy bun, and it came with cold soggy fries. I should have just stayed home and fixed something to ear.

I hate when that happens. I'm sorry. I was also in the mood for a good burger last night. So I went to my local Astro Burger on my way home. I love their burgers. They have a charbroiled taste, that most places don't have. It's not real close to me, but worth the drive usually. Now that I'm thinking about them, I want another one, so I'll go get one while I'm out, this afternoon. Yesterday I only got a cheeseburger. Today I will also get fries. I can't wait!

The Toddler's Ukrainian grandma has been doing lots of cooking. Today's dish smelled very good. When I asked her what kind of soup it was, she said it was green soup. I know I look like I didn't get it and she said it was a mixture of greens. I don't know what she used for stock.
She insists the Toddler's diet is lacking because he is not being fed the Ukrainian way. He should be eating mashed potatoes with root vegetables twice a day and a bunch of other foods that his parents do not eat. She is appalled that mashed potatoes are not on the day care menu.

Good Evening Kids! DS had another brain scan today. Nothing bad, just the doctor checking to see how his meds are doing.
We FINALLY got to see the sun today, which was great as it's been much too long.

I am taking the long and winding road home. Tomorrow I will sleep in Morgantown West Virginia on my way to Greensboro, North Carolina.
My 6th great grandfather's cabin is at the historical society there and I will be touring it.
The agenda after that has been changed so many times that I consider it still to be determined.
If today's plan sticks, I will spend 2 or 3 days driving home from Greensboro. However there is one stop I would really like to make in Ohio.

I have not corresponded with her my email but my sister says her written English has some strange translations from Ukrainian to English. We were told that the syllables in the Toddler's name are not part of the Ukrainian language. She has definitely learned to say his name correctly and that's the important one.

It sounds like she's really making an effort, which I think is important. I'm glad she's connecting with the toddler. That's the most important.

At least something good is coming out of this war. They got to meet.

Ouch! Remember when I mentioned that Spring is arriving so late here, that we'll probably go straight into Summer? Well, the weathernerds are saying we could actually hit 90 degrees next week. We don't even put in our vegetable garden until Memorial Weekend normally, because we often will get a late frost. Crazy weather, here we come...

Beautiful weather for today's drive.
I looked at the forecast and it's supposed to rain where I will be on Saturday and Sunday. My 6th great grandfather's cabin is outdoors. I hope they don't close if it is raining.

I'm getting an echocardiogram done tomorrow. My a-fib has been out of control lately. I started taking potassium a few weeks ago and that has helped a lot. Hopefully, everything looks okay.
Yesterday was DGD1s 4th birthday. I think she really enjoyed it.
Next week, I will be dog sitting again, in addition to babysitting. It's going to be a full week.
I hope your day is going well. 😊
