Good Morning All, Made myself go to sleep at a decent hour last night after a late one the night before. Only watched 2 episodes of Marcella. More tonight. Im glad you are enjoying it Liz - it does hook you.
Weight - well I finally stopped avoiding (there has been much bored snacking) and I was very surprised to see 172.26 - hmmmm wondering if it will come back to bite me in the next few days
Still cold here. First thing I get started every morning is the wood fire and it burns away all day n night. Not a lot planned for today. Staying home obviously. Might clean out the bathroom cupboards after work. I did the fridge yesterday. Made a delicious Lamb slow cooker yesterday - hard to cook for one but I ended up getting 2 dinners for me (same again tonight) 2 for mum and 3 for the freezer. In my head it made it worth dirtying the pots etc for. Silly huh. Nice to not have to think about dinner tonight.
Missed going to my DSS home after work yesterday. They text last night to tell me Elliot had cut his first tooth, I was super sad to miss it. He is also up on his walker at 10 months - that little man is in a hurry to catch his older brother. We have discussed it and they are happy for me to continue coming over on our regular Tuesday nights. I have said I would love too for as long as we can. They are in a defined hotspot. I see it as being pretty safe as I leave home and drive there and spend all the time inside the house (no outside contact) then leave to drive home. Im already practicing high level hygiene due to being mums carer.
Will go to the farm this weekend - assuming my test results are back to check on the cows and likely get some mowing done if its not too wet. I bought a 10 ft pool for $40 from a lady up there. I will pick it up on Sat morning. Will be wonderful for all the big and little kids in summer when the temperatures are crazy hot. I can already picture myself sitting in there with the grandbabies. Something to focus on - the temps this weekend are to be 28F then warming up to 55F. I dont mind the frosty starts up there as you are rewarded with lovely sunny winter days. Layer up and get out in it is my motto.
I feel completely fine now - no symptoms at all so expect it was just the start of a mild cold which my body shook off. Mum is also feeling a bit better. She tends to hang onto anything like a cold as there is a chest weakness. The testing centres now have over 4 hour waits and are closing down early as they cant cope with the volumes. I am feeling thankful that I was seen after a little over an hours wait and only had to try twice to be tested.
Liz - Hope your coffee meet up went well :) Good Luck with the tile cleaning too
BB - Good to see you back with us but Im sorry you are having such a crappy time. Sometimes it just seems too hard and one thing added to an already heavy load is overwhelming. Know we are here for you, to vent too, to bounce things off or just to allow you some amusement as you read about our varied and sometimes crazy days. We got you x
DD- I am so sorry to read about your day with your friend yesterday. I could feel the pain reading what you wrote. I am in agreement with Liz - shes likely only contacted you in order to make herself look good/better. Look up Narcissistic personality disorder - I think you will find a lot of her behaviours fit into that definition by reading what you have written. Unfortunately I am speaking from horrible experience. Its best to close that door and bolt the latch! The pain lessens over time and you need to make yourself a priority
Peps - I love the look of the new floors and am thinking of you as you deal with the mess and noise. It will be wonderful to put your newly floored home back together
Diane O - How is your deck going? Miss your voice
Diane S - Good to hear the gallery is doing well after re-opening
Cec - How are the home projects going?
Love to all those who follow
I had best go let the chooks out and keep working. Oh and another cup of tea is in order
Have a wonderful evening all x
S
