Greetings all

Nice sunny day here and fairly warm. Big storms are predicted for mid week so we will get ready. Plumber is coming wed to estimate a new garbage disposer plus under sink water heater. No do-it-yourself here anymore.

Ann glad you are back to the attic. yearning for a washing machine! Laundrymatt blues! Hope it all gets done soon. Yeah my DH and I cannot work on any projects together. We totally disagree on how to go about anything. Him: lets find the slowest least efficient and most elaborate way to do this, Me: lets hurry up and get this over with with the least effort.

CC glad your home is your own again. Thanks for the thoughts on Sweet Magnolias. It it as sappy as The Good Witch or Virgin River? Both are death to the pancreas but of course we watched.

We watched the rest of Zero Day last night. Great series. And sort of timely.

Yay for restaurant leftovers Liz. My favorite. What you don't eat can be frozen until it is unrecognizable. Then tossed.

More lentil soup tonight. DH finds it bland which it is. I thawed some ham to add.

My desk has reached crisis proportions. Getting stuff together for gallery tax return and could not find data sheet. Had to sheepishly ask our treasurer for another. And there is some mail I cannot find. Must toss much.

Did my walking today to Les Miz. The broadway version. I like it better than the London version.

Well tonight is the acid test. I wash my hair myself and then see how the new cut looks without a stylist. Could be scary.

Yay Ocean Diane on trike. Looking forward to what you think of it. So wonderful that your church people help. Means a lot. Doing the right thing is not out of style!

Peps that little Bug is adorable. Ms Bug.

Glad you had a good time with friends visiting!

I was eyeing the Sweet Magnolias series on Netflix, thanks for the heads up. I'm currently watching Younger on Netflix. It is about a 40 year old divorced woman trying to get back into the workforce and she experiences age discrimination so she reinvents herself as a 26 year old, gets a job and has to live a new younger life. Totally brainless thing to watch, lots of sex and drinking themes. Perfect for my treadmill workouts. Two 20 minute episodes gets me through my 40 minute workout!

Have fun with your new trike! So glad you have a great church community that is so helpful!

I think building and remodeling are incredibly stressful, so yes, totally normal that you are sparring a bit. Deceased DH said we would never build a house because he saw a lot of divorces after the stress of house building. Just a lot to decide, a lot of $$, and naturally the usual overrruns. These days I like to have things done when we aren't around (of course we haven't undertaken any huge projects like yours).

A week of houseguests, beautiful snow, then post-houseguest catatonia...

I didn't eat well while she was here, but we did split a lot of entrees, so hopefully that minimized some damage. Lots of chores piling up here, so I need to get on those today.

No time change here! Every plant, animal, and weather event in AZ may want to kill you, but at least we don't have to monkey with our clocks!

I binge watched Sweet Magnolias latest season on Netflix yesterday while not moving an inch. Save yourselves the "diabeetus" and avoid if you can. Sugary doesn't begin to describe it.

The dealership is coming to get my new car Wednesday to try to find and fix the rattle in the backseat. Nice that I don't have to drive it up and back especially with more rain and snow coming late this week.

Hope all is well!
