Good morning lennon, thanks for starting the weekday thread!
I had decent sleep last night. We have 3 days of highs in the 60s before it gets chilly again, so tomorrow and Wednesday I will try to work in the yard. I'm waiting for the handyman to let me know when he will come and work on the bathroom, I know he'll wait until cooler weather when he can't work outside. My doctor appointment today is at noon, until then I'll try to do a few things but I'm never productive on appointment days.
Catcats, thanks for this entertaining mental picture:
my hair would have looked like a birch broom in a fit
Have a good Monday, everyone!
Diane

Monday! hello lennon and Diane catcats and TML thanks for your kind comments in the weekend thread So hopefully this crisis is over! DD was home for the weekend to do some stuff for a summer job and it was good to see her in person rather than just the sad phonecalls and texts. She seems at peace with her decision, a little sad because she had some high hopes for some things. I had actually floated a few times to let things be, the semester is over rather soon, and then take the summer to make any decisions for next year, but she was so miserable that she made changes now mid semester. more disruptive but anyway hopefully she will have a good remaining semester. I was supposed to drive her back yesterday but on Saturday her college friend actually drove out from college town to get her so they could go out Sat night. the energy of the young! I was sad to see her go so quickly but also glad I did not have to do the driving!! I am still kind of wiped out. work has also been really nuts so it was hard to have stressful workdays then come home and have long phone calls but I guess that is being a working mom! I def want to be there for DD way more imp than work. so I have been purging a lot of paper. I went through three of those shopping bags and one basket. my house still looks very messy as I am in the middle of it. I am off today as I have two appointments but in between I am hoping to just get the paper looking better. yesterday I went to a home store and bought some pretty cardboard boxes. I am going to tastefully hide some clutter for the moment. One pretty box is for sentimental paper stuff. One is for my dresser to temporarily store lots of messy jewelry stuff until i have time for a better solution. I also bought some decorative stuff to try and add a little beauty to my room. I really want a pretty bedroom not a storage cell with a bed in the middle!! I also bought some needed kitchen towels and a small rug for muddy paws. I have a load of laundry running. fed animals. yesterday was so cold and snowy here. I walked puppy with sharp snow pelting my face! a few days earlier I was walking her in 70 degrees! next: sort the paper mess on my dining room table into general categories: must be filed, sentimental, recycle, shred. I have a dentist appointment as I broke my tooth! trying to be grateful they can get me in! rather than grouchy that my tooth broke at such an inopportune moment but is there ever a good time?? : )

Quiet here today!
Went to dentist. They fixed problem temporarily- a piece of a crown broke off. Recommend anew crown. Boo hoo as that will be close to one thousand $. But this fix could last a year. I hope!!
After that I did errands. I love the freedom of just being able to do errands! So I went to the ATM, went to target, dropped off donations at two places, turned in bottles and cans
I ate lunch and took puppy for a walk. I have to leave now for a hair appointment.
Need to pay two bills Need to work on house

Hi bree! Good luck with your dentist appointment--I'm afraid I'm going to have to make one of those sooner rather than later.
I'm home from my appointment, I was there a very long time since they were short handed, but that worked in my favor because the doctor was rushed and did not fight with me at all about tests he keeps pushing me to take. I didn't even need bloodwork this time. So that's over with for another 3 months.
I heard from the handyman, he can start next Monday. He still has to get me an estimate, and I need to pick out the faucet handles for the shower.
Now I'm eating lunch and need to decompress a little.

I went out to the yard for half an hour, wow, I can't spend too much time out there without my back hurting. I picked up the random trash that always blows into the yard even though it's surrounded by a fence, and I trimmed the tops from a lot of plants. I need to pick up the pace if I'm going to have clear space to plant things by May.

I went back outside for about 10 minutes just to cut some branches in half so they'll be easier to stack in the corner.
I'm going to eat dinner and then get ready for bed early--I'm exhausted today, hopefully I will be revived by tomorrow morning!

HI Everyone!!! Thanks for getting the week started lennon !!! I am just still trudging along. Now I need to clear off all my kitchen counters to get the electricity fixed. It is always something. I just cant seem to have a lull where i can organize and get my stuff back into place without another area needing to be cleared out for work. Also work is just crazy so it is hard to get stuff done at night when I get home. When I get home i just want to feed/pet kitties and collapse. Well on to try to accomplish something tonight at the house.

hi everypony!
had a good weekend, but totally overdid it getting ready. DVD doubted LD & 3 would come, and I wish I had ignored him and started to get ready sooner. I woke up pretty mad about it Saturday, but we had a come to Jesus moment. 3 got a new "STEAM" toy that we had fun playing with, and Sunday we made gummy dinosaurs.
Today has been about recovery. After a lot of stash and dashing Friday I have a big empty surface in the guest/office/craft room. DVD says no new projects! I think I will use it for art homework.
DONE: washed up and got dressed took meds nutrition appt w/ DVD posh grocery posh coffee shop DVD took chocolate to the employees at the hardware store that cleaned up the mess he made last week when he dropped a big can of paint!
target to pick up dolls on sale I bought online last night--wrong target to small racks DVD picked up from the no buy group stopped at the cafe to admire the paintings my art teacher had up to the right target then back to bed
NEXT UP: rest look up recipe for casserole make dinner do art

Hi TML and scholar!
I worked on emails for a while and made a list of things I'd like to accomplish before the handyman gets here, like moving unnecessary things off the upper porch so he'll be able to fix the raccoon chewed door frame.
Good night everyone, see you in the morning!

Good morning!
Sleep was okay, my mood is much better today!
I am a little concerned though, with how little I can do in the yard before I start aching, there's so much to do out there and before I know it it will be time to plant. I will keep going out a little at a time and hope that builds up my yard muscles!
Murphy's Oil Soap for my brushes
Wow scholar, what a great idea--does it work cleaning any kind of paint?
