Working from home today
So busy I havent been able to get dressed yet
Fortunately I went online yesterday to pay my utility bill. yesterday was the deadline!
So frustrated with local drug store
Last week I called into the automated system to refill my mom's prescription TWICE. Finally yesterday I called in and spoke to the pharmacist directly. It will be ready after 5pm. I went at 6 and only one was ready. The tech told me they were filling the second one now. I asked "now as in they have the bottle in their hand and are doing it?" no, it will be ready in 5-10 minutes. I came back 45 mins later - it still wasnt ready and I was told a slip needed to be filled out. I am beyond frustrated. this is what eats up my time. All of this running back and forth. I will go back again today.
I really need to get dressed. I need to go outside soon and it is cold!
And I need to make my daily list

Thank you reve, TML, catcats and oust.
This is a very different experience, to make a decision and then have to wait three days...always before I had vets in offices that had multiple vets, so any time I ever called for a euthanasia appointment they always, always fit me in the same day. I am thankful that it isn't an emergency, and I'm thankful that they're willing to come to the house, but this is a big drawback to having a vet that practices alone. I think it's even harder to have to wait once the decision is made.
Last night I did put the living room back to the way it was. It really makes things easier to have the house in basic order and not be panic-cleaning because people will come in. The only thing I have to do downstairs is vacuum a little and make sure the bathroom is clean. This morning I'm going to wash the two loads of laundry and keep working on the plant tables in the reading room--I still have three plants that have to go elsewhere, then I have to wash the tables down and get my boxes from the basement that I use to put the seedlings on, different heights depending on how close to the light they have to be.
This afternoon I would like to work on my password project since that's something I keep avoiding but it will distract me since it's an aggravating job.
I also should do something in the yard since the weather is so mild--at least figure out a place for the plant stems that will go in the yard waste can once they start picking up again, they have to be separate from the stems that might have eggs in them which have to stay in the yard.
Or, I might just play computer games all day, I'll see what I can make myself do.
Diane

Good afternoon everypony
(((Diane)))
I crashed yesterday. took a "half-hour" nap and woke up at 7:00 pm. DVD returned his cpap without me.
This morning we unloaded a big piece of furniture from the RV while the sun was shining and there was parking in front of the house (pulled the RV out of the muddy driveway). It looks good and has so much storage! I was able to put away doll clothes, stuffies and more.
I am depressed about supply chain problems with and ADHD med that have finally affected me. I don't know if I am going to be able to resolve it, which means I'm demotivated to even try.
no appointments today thank goodness. hoping taking my other meds will help. I think I will go hide under the covers next.

Thank you bree and seashell.
I have been trying to keep busy but I start one thing and then drift off to something else. I finished the two loads of laundry and brought them up from the basement but haven't put it away. I started looking for somewhere for the last 2 plants on the plant table but then started thinking about getting a tall shelf for one of the window areas because these plants are ones that drape down over the pot and they would look really nice at the edge of a shelf--then I thought, just what I need, more room for plants. Then I was going to start the password project but realized that the notebook I was going to use is not practical at all so I have to find something else.
I did do some vacuuming downstairs, and I collected some seed from the remaining lambs quarters plants because I realized that if I was going to not let them grow in the yard this year, I could just scatter some seed in the back part of the second half of the lawn and maybe they would be contained back there.
So basically, I got a little bit done but not very much.
It reached 62 degrees here this afternoon--crazy.
Diane

Gentle hugs Diane
Last night I put my dad's clothes in the wash, today I will dry them and drop them off.
thinking about what load to wash next
I am on the hunt for a receipt - ugh..... I hate that I impulse shop and then lose the receipt before I can return them....
Last night I curled up in bed to watch something, anything. I got up and started putting things away. I didnt clear out huge piles of things, but the piles got smaller. And most importantly, I did not create new piles and things are where they belong. Getting everything organized is helping. Having stuff everywhere and not knowing where things are is what makes me nuts. And what leads to more piles.
I made two blankets for a friend and boxed them up to mail to her, along with two shirts and a cookbook. I will drop them in the mail today.
off i go

Diane continued thoughts and prayers to you and your sweet dog. catcats I am also praying for your GD and tiny GGD that all goes well. I have not posted much. doing the usuals - working - it is very busy with lots of big projects and we are short staffed and stretched thin. A big project kicks off next week, the prep work has been huge, and there is a political aspect as another group throws up road block upon road block. This will go on for months prob to December. Another big project is next week too, but I did delegate a lot of that to someone who is doing a great job. after work I have been walking the puppy, eating a frozen dinner and crashing. trying to keep up with my routines, doing maybe 80%. paying a bill here and there. this morning I took the trash and recycling out, scooped up the backyard, did a little kitchen pick up. started a load of laundry I am working at home this morning but headed in later. I bought some veggies to try and make an healthy entree tonight. I also need to select two items for the lenten challenge, and on the way to work, donate those and fill the gas tank. DD has been on an emotional rollercoaster due to some stuff at school and i am truly physically and mentally exhausted from phone calls and texts over the past five or six days in which I try to really be there for her. I am praying today goes well for her. It has led to stress eating for me, not good. ok now to do some more work email

Oh I will pray for your DD bree...... HS and college were tough times for my DD. Our heart breaks but there is not much we can do except be there for them. And not sleep and stress eat.... Good luck with your projects. We appear to be in the midst of a cell phone/internet outtage. I cannot call my employee and some folks are having connectivity issues. I am just sitting here plugging away. I think a shower and get dressed are in order - I can get that done quickly during my break. Then decide on what load of laundry to do next. |

ohblondie thanks! I was so naive when I dropped DD off at college thinking this was new phase of less parenting -- it seems like more! her freshmen year was so positive ..I truly hope things turn around for her. you are right we can just be there for them --thanks!! I just cleaned the litter, moved wash to dryer, brought up recycling and trash bins and ate breakfast. hope your phone comes back ohblondie I could not function!
