hey, west side story u mean u have to handwash all those dishes now? hope not... Good job cooking and composting. here's what i did: * finished sauteeing the cubed chicken breast *made up the chicken noodle soup & it is cooking now. I'm declaring it done. *put 4 empty bottles in recycle bag *drank 4th glass of water & took Vit. D & had calcium caramel chewy. *filled 2 ice cube trays ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'll be gone for a while, again. Will check back in if possible. May depend if DD's boyfriend comes over, I'm hoping not... So, going to pick her up from work (kinda far). Then, supper time. Then, I'll check back in, if possible. Have fun, y'all! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ back! *Picked up DD from work -- had to wait 45 minutes for her to come out as they were running waaay behind. *brought her home to change clothes *took her to her boyfriend's house where it sounds like they have been waiting for her and they've made a special dinner. Cobbler with ice cream for dessert. His family sounds so perfect! Taking a dinner break, but I intend to keep coming back here... Luv, CD

I had to run errands to the hospital to see mom and then her house to get the food she did not want to spoil...two pork chops...nice for tomorrow bbq...grabbed her 1/2gal of milk too. nothing else except slaw that I saw that might go bad and I am not so sure slaw goes bad but since it has kinda mayo stuff it might have to be tossed...I eat slaw but not as much as she had and it was in her favorite storage container so I left it in fridge. Then called sister to tell her to take the newspaper TV Guide to mom when she came by to get the things mom wanted for personal care, comb, brush, deoderant, mirror, toothbrush, toothpaste, and her cosmetics bag to carry it all. I was told to grab it all and take it to her tonight since I was there...so I had to return there to hospital to give all that to mom. She was so glad to get comb but I grabbed the wrong gosh darn comb....but she was happy...combed her hair. Came back home to feed dogs since they ate entire dishes of food (2) that I filled late last night when I got home from ER. Gave dogs french fries from mom's fridge from my meal the other day that I stuck chicken tender and remaining fries in fridge in box...had taken that too and eaten the chicken so I did not BBQ the pork chops tonight. Dogs now have had treat for waiting for me while I was gone. Now it is time for me to watch the news at ten and try to sleep tonight as I was up late last night and up early this morning for AA mens meeting.
Glad you got things cooking Cando and so sorry to hear bout that DBIL who is so sick...hopefully since he is young he will make full recovery but heart problems are lifetime issues....anyway hope for the best for you and your DH and family...hugs Lucky

Thank you, LL. It sounds like your Mom is a strong woman! Hope she'll be better soon, too. It sounds like you have a nice family, LL. Sweet Dreams, Lucky Leprechaun. I'm not doing too well, now, as I heard more and DBIL is not doing well. He was better & now he's worse and they don't know what seemed to have happened and why. He was talking just yesterday morning.... The nurse who came on duty tonight could not believe how things had changed so much with him when he was getting better & was doing so much better. I am going to try to do my dishes now and check back. Can't set a timer as kids are watching a movie, etc. So, I"ll do dishes & check back in. CD

Good morning, LL. Uum... that sounds yummy, LuckyLeprechaun. I don't think I've ever had pork chops done on the grill... My 15 minutes went a little longer (as I usually do in chat... : *put away hand-washed stuff from drainboard *folded/hung load of laundry *put that load away *moved load to dryer *unloaded dishwasher Plugged in computer for DD... she was having trouble doing that for some strange reason... Got her big trash bag for her to put recyclable papers in -- she is working on her bedroom right now and asked for a big bag so thinking she is getting rid of tons of papers. Next: Shower ( I will be longer than 15 minute, for sure). CD

Happy Sunday, everyone.
CD - I'm so sorry things are in crisis with your dbil. Your hubby is, no doubt, stressing over it. I hope he improves quickly and completely. That will be my prayer for you.
You achieved a lot in your sleepless hours and you seem to have pretty good stamina. Wish I did.
Lucky, I haven't seen an update on your Mom yet. Maybe I just haven't run across it yet. I hope her pain is being managed well so she can also recover quickly. She's in my prayers.
Other commitments yesterday kept me from doing my laundry, so I had to do it today. Don't like doing it on Sunday, but that's how it worked out this week. Got to the laundromat before they opened at 8:00 so had a good parking place and my favorite machines. Home before 9:00 and had the linens on the line before 9:30. They're still out there because we have a cooler day, less sun and 78% humidity (usually less than 20%). But nice breeze. I'll bring them in soon and get the bed made.
Since this morning I've been taking pictures of stuff I'll be getting rid of and working on the images so they are ready for me to do what I want with them - Craig's, etc.

Hi Joy. Welcome Back. Sheets that have been hung outside to dry... sounds really nice to me. Sounds like you've been very busy. Took shower... and was just wondering why it took soo long & just realized that I had 4 phone calls... 3 of them were very long. All regarding DBIL. Next for me: Eat very late lunch blow-dry hair, brush teeth, etc. The time has just flown today!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * blow-dried & styled hair, brushed teeth * DD wanted me to make room on book shelves in den for her to put a big book that we all want to keep that she has had in her room for a long time, so found 5 books that I could give away.

wow Cando driving lesson with DD you have the state of mind of a saint! Hopefully she will not total your car like my last student did!! well I cooked the two pork chops and while doing that took out the trash...someone has the can filled again with sticks and yard waste. I just overfilled the top...the lid is lifted up now....this is second time this trash can has been filled with sticks...which neighbor it is I do not know...saw him but did not know him...could be from other side of alley. I ate my dinner and drove out to my mom's house to get her checkbook for her...then over to hospital...she told me the orthopedic doc came today and says she will need PT and she told him of the 13steps to her bedroom on 2nd floor and he said definitely she needs PT and he may transfer her to recovery center to get the needed treatment...which might take 2weeks or who knows....so that is good. She said she must stay in hospital 3days for medicare to kick in and she is there tonight which is third day....I know where she wanted to go for therapy but they may or may not have a place there for her...she was there for many years as their volunteer coordinator...and my dad was there for five years. I hope they have place for her. came home and am just checking in here to end my day....hugs lucky
