Happy Monday! I made overnight oats for breakfast this am and I realized I got quick oats and should have grabbed the regular oats. I will survive. It's just really runny.
Last night I scrubbed the heck out of the stove top. I took a knife and paper towel and tried to get into the crooks and crevices. I took a scrub brush and scrubbed then soaked then scrubbed again. I took the knobs off and wiped them down. I only focused on the top (and knobs and handle to the oven door) I have what I think is called a noodle board. it is a rectangular and flat piece of wood that sits on top if the stove. I wiped that off and out that back as well. Since I was on a rol - I gathered up the four cannisters that lined the counter. They held the pods fir the keurig. Since we dont have the keurig anymore - I bagged up all of the pods, all of the refillable/reusable pods, a bottle of cleaning solution, new filters - all things keuring - and I will drop it off at son's garage. They have a keuring machine for the customers, then a regular coffee pot int he back for staff. I dropped off my coffee pot on friday. And coffee filters.
My next job is to go through the mugs and drop off any extra for them.
DH has seen a couple of mice in the bedroom. I had to do something about it - right away. So I went out and got traps/poison/etc. I am not sure what he expected me to do in a few hours. the room was not going to get emptied and cleaned and mice magically go away in that short span. I tried to tell him that all of the wrappers and food and the bag of sunflower seeds on the nightstand were keeping them happy and well fed. I did get a huge garbage bag and collected all of the small bags of trash that I had filled up. Oh lordy, the candy and pop tart wrappers I collected in the bedroom.
I did the usuals this weekend - brought my mom to visit my dad twice. I dropped off two huge reusable bags full of candles for a craft project at the ALF. Happy to get that out of my room.
The big news was the storm that passed through. It was wet heavy snow and rain saturday morning. While visiting my dad in the afternoon - it switched to a lighter fluffier snow. I had a hard time seeing the road heading home. I was sliding all over the road. We lost power late afternoon so I went to a friend's house and ended up spending the night. Power came back on at 10 pm but I had a couple of glasses of wine in me and the roads were nasty so I stayed. My daughter lost power late saturday afternoon and didnt get it back til 10pm last night. Several churches were closed sunday am as they had no power and the roads were pretty bad still. there were so many limbs down and power lines down. The trees were covered with ice and looked pretty but it was still dangerous.
The snow was crunchy this am and I could walk on "top" of it as it was so cold overnight. Goal for next fall is to have the LR cleared out so I can get the fireplace fixed.
Well - now that I have written a novel - I had better get to work. I helped my mom shower last night and I made her bed last night. I usually do it monday nights but I have a party to go to after work. And I still need to get a birthday gift!

Good morning!
Lennon, thanks for starting us off.
Ohblondie, I'm glad you survived the storm--it's kind of late for such a big one but I think you guys in the northeast have storms well into spring. We're supposed to have heavy rain overnight, but no snow.
The handyman is here, still framing out the walls for the shower stall since the extra electrical and plumbing work took so long. This week he will be here Monday through Thursday, and then will have to come back next week. This is turning into so much more than I expected, but he did find bad electric wires and the almost rusted through pipe, so I guess it's good that I decided to go ahead with this project.
Today while he's here I will try to do a little yard work until the rain starts in the late afternoon, although it will have to be in short bits of time because my back is really bothering me now. Plus I will continue to work on houseplants and seedlings.
Diane

Diane - we are usually good for a big storm in March. they are usually mid march but they are not unheard of. the tree outside my work window has beautiful red buds - I am hoping the snow did not harm them at all.

Good afternoon everyone!
Day 6 of the handyman is over. Today he worked on preparing the area for the new shower pan, having to do a lot of extra work because walls and floor were not level. At one point he painted something on the floor and had to wait for it to dry, so we went out to the back yard and he used his pruning saw to cut down all the lambs quarters plants in the back, and the ones I missed in the front part of the yard. Then he put something called "Quick Level" in a frame on the floor, which you mix up like cement but which levels itself to a perfectly straight surface. This will now have to dry for four hours, so he went home a little early.
Tomorrow will be more drywall work, getting the drain ready, and starting on tiling.
Today was a much better day for me, I got a lot done. Much of it was just cleaning up from the work, for example, cutting down some huge boxes that things came in. But I got it all into the recycling can, and I filled the garbage can with construction debris, so both are ready to put outside tomorrow. I also cut down some of the branches in the front of the house, but you can't even tell that I did anything, there are so many. Then I spent a while caring for first floor plants, most of them are watered now.
Oh, and I went to the library and mailbox too.
My back and right foot are still hurting badly, but I can relax for the rest of the evening. I have to call my decluttering client, and then my shopping friend, tonight. So now I'm going to eat an early dinner and clean up a little upstairs, since I'll probably be on the phone from 6:00 until my 8:00 bedtime.
Diane
