What are you doing today?

Not open for further replies.
Working on a translation of one of my books which has supposedly been edited, but am finding errors, and it is very time consuming. Also, started classes again, so have piles of reading and writing to do the next few months.

Also baked a pumpkin pie, which made the kitchen smell nice and warm. I couldn't wait for the pie to cool and tasted it still warm. Yummy! I like to use brown sugar instead of white sugar, so it's not too sweet but the texture is rich. Besides cinnamon and ginger, I also like to add some pepper as a spice.

Have been watching Disney movies every evening (usually do Disney during the holidays). Watched Encanto last night. Let's see what we'll watch tonight!

Have a nice day!🌺

I most likely will donate them to Goodwill. Libraries, as of today, have closed some branches (including ours). Part of new Covid restrictions. Schools are once again, closed, as well. I don't have the space to store extra books anymore, otherwise, I'd wait for libraries to accept them again.
 
Today I forced myself to lay on my bed for an hour with my feet up. It does help. Just hard to lay down in the middle of the day. I can read while I do this. Started a new book by Fannie Flagg, I Still Dream About You. Did some housework but not as much as I had planned. So tomorrow I need to catch up.

I have not been feeling well today, so I thought I'd come here and whine about it! My head is killing me!!!!!!! There, thank you for letting me get that out.

I have had chronic sinusitis since the 1980's. It comes and it goes....I know that it will pass and I'll be fine.

Sorry to hear about that! There was a period of time when I had a headache that came and went (undiagnosed) but glad it hasn't resurfaced.
Now I only take mild painkiller for my broken leg when I overwork (e.g. shoveling snow).

You are shoveling snow with a broken leg? Hmm, how old did you say you were?

Which language are you translating to?
I write in French and translate to English.
Very time consuming!

Thanks Kaila, it's hard for me to see her like this.. and know there's nothing I can do. I've joined in the search for the last few weeks for a new home for her, and nothing is available anywhere near where she works... or it's far too expensive...

It’s hard being a mom and having no luck in helping your daughter. Just a suggestion - have her store everything but her essentials and stay in a tiny hotel-type rental. Not ideal, just something people here are doing when they move here for work.

Just my usual chores.....did a quick pass on them last two mornings due to shovelling.
Didn't get the cement patio down at the bottom of the deck shovelled, might work on that, see how much it warms up.
I have shovelled more snow since the last week of November than all of last winter....sigh.

I remember those days, when I lived in Illinois and we would get lake effect snow from Lake Michigan. There was always more and more....seemingly with no end.

It's no fun. 😢
 
It's only 9° as I type this and we got about six inches of snow last night. It's actually kind of quiet and peaceful. The dog is going to have to wait until this afternoon for a walk, though. That's too cold.

I'm making sausage and pepper sandwiches for lunch today, which should be good comfort food for this cold day.
