Good morning!
Thanks for starting the thread, lennon!
So, I was up for 3 hours in the middle of the night again, not because of the dog--well, because of the dog, but she is fine. She woke up and made a couple of quiet whines, which usually leads to loud whines and asking to go out. So I woke up, and I was immediately upset, because I thought she was having discomfort again and thought--oh no, it's going to be the weekend now, if these antibiotics aren't working I'll need to get to the vet again. She jumped off the bed, went to get a drink of water, went to her empty food bowl and licked it, then came back to bed and went to sleep! But by this time I was so wide awake I couldn't fall back for hours. It was actually a good sign that she checked out the food bowl, she must have had an appetite. She's eating fine now although the first day she was sick she didn't want to eat much.
Anyway, I'm glad I had a good night's sleep in between the two bad ones. It's supposed to get up to the upper 30s today, which means there are a few things I can do that I was putting off, like clean the yard. I was doing great at picking everything up until the night she was sick, then she kept having little bowel movements all over the yard in between trying to pee, I guess the anxiety was making that happen. The small layer of snow on the grass should melt enough to let me clean up, plus I have to sweep out the bird seed container. I also want to try to put the bookshelves together over the weekend, hopefully a little at a time so I don't overdo it. I have my cordless drill/screwdriver this time so that should make it a little easier.

Ha ha! I don’t have any obligations involving her! Thank goodness. My birthday was last Sunday, and she didn’t even acknowledge it, by the way.

Hello all!
Funny you should mention the Instant Pot TwinkleToes, ours is going to be getting a work out this weekend! I know the next seven weeks are going to be extra busy and extra stressful, so I ordered a pile of meat, and am planning to spend some time this weekend making triple batches of chilli con carne, bolognese sauce for spaghetti, fajita mix and chicken curry so I can freeze them in portioned bags and not have to stress about dinner on busy days.
Done: Put away a load of clean laundry Changed en suite towels Brought all upstairs laundry downstairs to collate with the small amount down here Changed kitchen towels Load of laundry on Clean laundry bagged and taken upstairs Achieved dining table zero Handled mail Triple batch of chilli con carne in the instant pot
To do: Put away laundry Achieve coffee table zero (so close, but boyfriend left a couple of things on it, and I'm taking a hydrate break) Achieve something in the spare room Make dinner Prepare the next batch meal
Don't think I'm making it to the recycling centre today, but I can start collecting a proper carful for Tuesday (or take a bigger trip tomorrow to the further away one that is open other days)

Happy Saturday!
Diane I am glad your dog seems to be better! I can’t believe how late it is already I did not sleep well, fell asleep and then woke up for hours. At 4:30 am I got up to get something to drink and that activated the animal kingdom. Puppy wanted out - it was minus 2 degrees F! She had a brief foray outside. Cats wanted to be fed - they always have dry food available but wanted their wet food
I started to read and fell asleep I guess as girlcat woke me up w such a loud racket of meows I though oh no did I sleep til noon? It was about 9 am. She wanted more wet food she is almost 19 so I try to give her what she wants.
Now we are all laying low
It has warmed up to 7. It will rise to a high of 25 by 4 pm so that is the planned time of puppy walk today. My day is wide open
I want to do the following today Clean bathroom Mop kitchen floor Paperwork and finances At least one load of laundry Do something on my bedroom

Good morning bree!
that activated the animal kingdom
Sounds like you're not sleeping well either, probably work stress, no?
Okay, now I'm going to go downstairs and give the dog her meds, then I will bring the bookcase box in from the front porch, open it, unpack it, and read the instructions. Then I will try to stop.
Diane

Done: Laundry from machine to dryer Achieved coffee table zero Took two stacks of plastic glasses out of the glass cupboard. I want to ask boyfriend first but they were super cheap and we haven't used them in years. Getting rid would mean a less cramped cupboard Took decorative angel from entrance way upstairs. It doesn't have a place yet as it is new this year and very fragile but I've popped it in spare room for now as that is where Christmas things live
To do: Put away laundry Achieve something in the spare room Make dinner Prepare the next batch meal
I'm up in the spare room now catching my breath, so here goes!

Good morning reve!
Well, I started setting up the bookcase pieces in the right order, it actually looks like a simpler than usual set up, I'm going to do some more on it. It's almost time to take the dog out, so I'll do that too.

Happy birthday Twinkletoes! I hope you had an awesome day for it! And good morning Diane, hope things are going well with you!
Done: Went through the final "floor box" in the spare room (not to say everything is off the floor by a long shot, but the rest is mostly organised) 3 things in donate pile Small box of stuff to take to work to decorate my work space Several things thrown out Enough space cleared so that I could move the chair I've been using across to the window, and then I got all of the various things that have fallen on the floor picked up and put in a box I've got 1 plastic crate of toys and childhood stuff, plus three organised shoeboxes of organised sports memorabilia and technological odds and ends ready to go under the bed when boyfriend can do that for me. Don't think my back will take it today.
To do: Put away laundry Make dinner Prepare the next batch meal
Upcoming spare room priorities: Organise donations AND GET THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE - some of them have been lingering for too long Go through plastic crate at the end of the bed. It's mostly Christmas wrapping paraphernalia, but not entirely and would be more manageable if split into a couple of smaller, neater boxes Take plastic crate to mum's house in a couple of weeks time Those three things will clear most of the floor space
