Not doing a huge amount today..yesterday I was sick , so I'm giving myself a bit of a rest today and hope it all goes away so I can go out tomorrow... It's grey, grim, and dull, so no incentive to go anywhere anyway today.. but I really must go out and get some shopping, and have a pub lunch with my friends tomorrow before everywhere gets packed at the weekend

Unwrapped a brand new Christmas garland and realised it's wayyy too big to go where I wanted it to go, so scrub around that idea , put it in the barn for next year when I feel more like decorating properly..

Paid some bills.....then spent a while clearing out junk from my computer... so for now..that'll do
 

Went to grocery store a mile away with my husband. I needed to pick up some meds I was out of. He decided to go in, and it took forever because he walks so slowly. He just needed a some sweets - pies, cinnamon rolls, ice cream, cookies (for a diabetic). The store is a mile away. I got home 1.5 hours after I left.

I haven't been to a grocery store in nearly 2 years. I thought I would be thrilled. But no. Instead, looking at all that food resulting in my losing my appetite, right there in the store. I had cookies and 2 cups of milk for dinner. I haven't had milk to drink in a long time, but even without cocoa or Nestles Quik in it, it tasted really good.

I was totally exhausted. For some reason, every time I leave the house (to see a doctor), I am really tired when I return home. So I watched a little TV and listened to the dog bark at it. He doesn't seem to associate the television to a noise source. He associates text notifications with Door Dash (thanks to my daughter), so if one is on tv, he's off to bark. So far, the last 3 nights he has barked for 1.5 hours. It seems never ending, even to me. The shows I am watching are amusing my daughter because I never watch romance type shows. Heck, I haven't watched TV since January, when I watched The Sopranos through season 2.

I did get about an hour of chores done yesterday, which is good. Today, more chores. Have to make up for what I didn't do yesterday evening. Daughter and her partner return late next Wednesday. Have already ditched the idea of putting away all my daughter's stuff -- it is stacked in boxes (some of which have been there for year), and laundry baskets - in front of the fireplace. Her partner is going to help her get her stuff put away and organized. Common living areas must be tidy, clean, and organized -- not her favorite things to do. I suspect that's why she has always intended to marry a house husband. Seriously.
 
The little flappers on our dryer hood finally decomposed after 15 years. I was looking at various options for repair, when my genius wife suggested that I just put metal mesh over the hole. Perfect!
Funny thing, yesterday, we were watching a DIY show, and it showed a bird's nest in the dryer outlet with baby birds in it. Yikes!

I've heard of fried, boiled, grilled, bar-b-qued, pulled, and steamed but centrifugal fowl is a new one!

She is giving me a smaller dose of the same med since it did help, to see if the headache will be less. Course the pharmacy does not have any

I hope that med will help enough, and not cause the terrible head pain.

The pharmacy got my med in and I will get it Thursday

I hope they got it in, and that you are able to get it, today.

Call the director as I thought she’d be there, nope. She says she is shopping for some stuff Joey and the other boys need. 😳.

I hope the director was not getting some of the same stuff that you were.
Or if so, then I hope that the director will appreciate that the supply will go farther, and that it might help to get things there, off to a good start, for Joey.

I am tired of shopping for now. But he is very happy in the new group home.

That's the important thing, and it's the goal, but it sure does sound thoroughly exhausting, for you!!

Good idea. It will give him something easy to start with, as he wants to see that he is helping as he'd offered to.

And it's better for you to focus on taking care of yourself, this week, and prioritizing what you actually want to do yourself,
and on having a bit of fun and enjoying the break, as much as you're able to, before your house gets feeling sort of full of other people.

Laundry.
Sorted the cranberries to make @GeorgiaXplant recipe. Threw a quarter of them away and will go to a different store to buy another bag. If you’re reading here, how long do these store in the fridge?
One SDiL is faithful about sending photos of their daughter at Xmas. Changed out the one in the frame. I’ve kept all the other years at the back of the new one. It was fun to look at. How did time go by so quickly.

I find that they usually last a while in the refrigerator, maybe 2 weeks...or longer than that......
(that is, the cranberries, not the photo's ;)
And, not the recipe, either, if that is what you meant, :rolleyes:
(I dont remember what the recipe was for)
:rolleyes:
But, If you did mean the cranberries o_O:unsure::unsure:
then , they would last a lot longer in the freezer. :giggle::geek:

Please ignore this post, if it is entirely irrelevant!!:rolleyes::giggle::LOL::LOL:
