Good Evening Kids! It is raining here right now. My list of things to get done around the house has gotten longer, so I'm doing what I sometimes do when that happens: no tv tonight until the news comes on, and I'm just listening to music & going from one project to the next.

Good soggy Friday morning peeps! I am heading to Orlando, but will be back tomorrow night. I cannot leave DH longer than overnight, so this will be a two day event, rather than three. I put most of my gear in the car last night, just waiting for the rain to stop and I will finish. House is clean, laundry and dishes done. DH has tonight's dinner, plus two lunches and a breakfast. I will be home by dinnertime tomorrow.

It's pouring, absolutely pouring. The good thing is that my sump pump is working.

Oh lordy am I tired. Right now the two oldest are in the family room with the door shut it sounds like are doing a major remodeling project. The two youngest are napping. It is the dogs that are sending me over the edge. The older dog has always had food issues and is overly protective of her food, this has gotten worse since they got the pup. The older pup has had minimal training but will sit, and drop it etc. The pup has had no training. The kids trip got extended by a few hours since they had the opportunity to go deep sea fishing today. They were supposed to go yesterday but the seas were too rough so the company switched it today. That means instead of getting home mid afternoon it will more likely be 7 or 8 tonight. We made baked sugar cookies this morning and will frost them this afternoon.

Hi, everyone I'm home. We had a great time! Everyone got along and I learned to drive a scooter, fairly well. But I'm certainly no expert. Getting out of the elevator was the hardest for me. So I just had someone else do it. Problem solved! I was so tired last night, that I stayed over at DD2s. It turned out to be lucky that I did. Her youngest puppy ripped one of his nails off this morning and had to be rushed to the vet, for surgery. I stayed with the girls and cleaned up most of the blood that was Everywhere, while she took care of the dog. I got home early this evening. I'm still exhausted. I think everyone is. Disneyland has changed so much since I was there last. Having a DAS pass and scooter were game changers. I think the longest we waited to get on a ride was 10 mins, once. The rest were more like a 5 minute wait. So we were able to constantly go from one ride to the next. Good times and good memories. I need to get my suitcase upstairs, from my car. I'll ask my neighbor to help me with it tomorrow. My body ached too much to do it today. It's good to home. But I'm so glad I went! 😊

I'm still incredibly tired today. The kids will be coming over this evening to watch football. DD and I got the dinner menu, such as it is, figured out. We will have meatball sliders and I'm DSIL's favorite pumpkin dessert. Not sure if we are having any sides and don't really care. I don't think DD cares either. She and DSIL were pretty tired when they showed up around 10:00 last night.

Good Afternoon Kids! We'll working on figuring out a road trip. It's been much too long, and we need a break from being responsible adults around here. I can't imagine dealing with 5 dogs, TheOtherMe, much less large dogs, as our two littles get into enough mischief.

Sounds like you had a good time at Disney. I'm happy for you. I had a great time! Except for when, on the last night, a Praying Mantis landed on my arm. I was wearing a tank top, so I felt it and screamed, "Get it off me!" I didn't look. My DSonIL calmly told me to hold still, while he scooped it off my arm and let it go. That was traumatic for me. But the rest was great. DSonIL said he would travel with me again, any time, which made me feel good. I hate bugs and spiders!

I can't imagine dealing with 5 dogs, TheOtherMe , much less large dogs, as our two littles get into enough mischief. Not a one was well behaved and none could be trusted not to run off if let outside alone and run who knows where on the farm. When her lap dog was dying of cancer, those big dogs tortured that dog and they could all have eaten her if they decided to. I will never understand why my great nephew bought a dog when he was a senior in high school and was planning to go away for college. Plus he never did any kind of training with the dog but why should he? His parents didn't with the other two dogs. The dogs they had when I first moved here had been to obedience school and did behave. DN3 wanted to bring their two dogs here and I told him they are not coming in my house. They do not behave.

I am back, peeps. Been nonstop for the last 2 1/2 hours, since I walked in the door. Unpack the car, dinner, feed the cats, run the dishwasher, prep breakfast, clean up this and that. Two second places and two third places. I can live with that.

I knew it rained a lot Thursday-Saturday morning. Over 3.5 inches of rain. No wonder there is a lake in my backyard and the sump pump is running constantly.

Cold front coming through tonight, temps into the 60s. We shall see how many swimmers show up for practice tomorrow. I slept in a little, ran some trail, fixed blueberry pancakes and I am on my second load of laundry. Dinner is yummasetti (blame my brother; he made it yesterday, texted me and now I have a craving). It's just macaroni, ground meat (turkey for us) and tomato sauce. I have some good Cheddar to top it.

Holy carp! We're only one degree cooler than in our old neighborhood "down South". I can only imagine how cold my old neighbors are right now. I'm trying to catch up on everything. DH has been working a crazy number of hours at work. Which means I get to do everything else at home that he can't get to. Yea me!

After two weeks of working partial weeks I really want that to be my permanent schedule. I'm so ready to retire or least scale back from full time working, now if only the finances matched my wants.

Good Morning Kids! I felt so badly when I woke up early this morning that I took a Covid test, but it was negative so I went back to bed. Most likely it's my Fall allergies, which is lousy timing, as we hope to leave for a trip later this week. I could use some prayers & positive thoughts, as we've been needing to get away for awhile.

I made it through the day, it was tough because I was so tired. I'm hoping to get to bed early tonight and actually get some sleep. Open enrollment started today at work so I need to spend some time figuring all that out.

I have an email this morning waiting to be read about changes to prescription drug coverage with BCBS. Have to read it and see what they are doing.

I have an email this morning waiting to be read about changes to prescription drug coverage with BCBS. Have to read it and see what they are doing. I haven't even opened my email yet today. Maybe later. I have a problem with the ceiling fan/light in my front room. When I turn the fan on, it makes a lot of loud crackling and popping noises (sounds electrical to me). The maintenance guy stopped by yesterday, but the fan had been on, so he didn't hear it. I've left it off, so I hope he comes back today and is able to identify the problem. I don't want to have an electrical fire. I have no idea where I'd move to, if that happened. Rent is too high, everywhere I have looked. And I've been looking for years.
