What are you doing today?

DH & I agreed to watch our infant grandson Tues, Weds, Thurs from now until the end of June (when DIL's school breaks for summer). This is our first week of doing so, and today we also have our 7 year old granddaughter & 10 year old grandson.

So far so good, but we've come to realize all appointments, shopping, errands big chores around the house and garden, etc., need to be scheduled for Fridays through Mondays. Tomorrow morning I'll do regular grocery shopping plus hit Costco. With Covid still around we can't take this baby along for errands the way we did our own children and grands.
 

As usual, the weatherdudes over-predicted last night's storm-that-didn't-happen. We got lots of rain, no lightning, no thunder, no tornadoes. Yawn. One of these days, they'll spend hours upon hours warning us of terrible and dangerous weather coming, but nobody will believe it.

It's nice now...high temp of only 73 today, but that's fine as long as the sun shines.

@Trila glad you're feeling better.

Hey! I'm feeling better....I was trying to make you laugh, not 😢!!!! I'm beating this crud. I'm home now, enjoying a hot cup of mock chi latte. In a bit, I'm planning on plopping down in front of the tv for today's first dose of Doctor Who! Thank you for caring! 💖

Thank you for this, Trila, and you're welcome! :)
I felt sad that you were at the doctor office, but that they were not planning to see you, and check on your symptoms, dear friend. :confused:
But I am glad your post was primarily joking about you being camouflaged by the ailing people waiting their own turns.:LOL:
And the best part is if you have indeed turned the corner now, and will be continuing to feel better.👍🤩🥰

I went out to my car this morning to run some errands and there was a huge crack running diagonally across my windshield. Wasn't there when I came home yesterday afternoon.

The car was in the driveway closely facing the garage door. No stones, no branches, no dead pteradactyls, nothing on the hood or laying in the driveway.

So, it's off tomorrow to the windshield shop for replacement. Thank goodness insurance covers it with no deductible.

Good morning, one and all! My crud is (mostly) gone, and I feel good!!! 😁

I'm getting ready to head out to my Mom's for the day. Hopefully, I'll be able to start reading everyone's posts tonight. If not, then tomorrow.

We have a saying: "The hurriered I go, the behinder I get!!!"

Bye for now! 👋

So glad you're feeling better.
Take care.
 
@jujube and @Medusa, I was also relieved about the absence of pterodactyls. Dead or alive. Whew!

Yesterday was great fun with DH & me babysitting all three grands for the day. The older kids are easy to please because we have very relaxed house rules and the baby was in great spirits. They were really helpful with him - they're totally smitten with their infant cousin!

Weather was in the mid 70s so we took a long parade walk around the block before lunch. One stroller with a baby, one stroller with our elderly dog, one dog being walked on a leash, two kids, two adults. We switched off who walked what/whom.

In a couple of hours I'll hit the produce store - am hoping to plan it so I get to Costco near the time when it opens.

As a former cleaning fairy, here's my take on a free try out: Before I accepted a new client, I always met with them first and did a walk-thru, asked specific questions (i.e., did they want their laundry done? bed linens changed? dishes washed?), and would base the cost on what needed to be done.

Would you schedule an appointment with a new doctor and ask for a free visit?

Oh, hell to the no! Time is money, and people who provide a service are already giving you their free time to visit and assess the work to be done and the time needed to do it.

I agree totally. I would not ask anyone to clean anything for free.
I was purely joking, as I try to indicate in my many silly posts, by adding the laughing faces.
 
Well this has been the strangest day since I don't know when. Got up at 7am, opened the blinds, and there was snow everywhere :eek: cars were completely covered... but by 9am.. the sun had shone warmly and the wind had blown so strongly all the snow had disappeared. ...and so it went on all day...sun☀️...sleet,🌦️ sun, 🌤️Freeeeeezing winds..🌬️. sleet 🌨️...glorious sunshine.🌞. then sleet and snow..🌨️🌨️

Estranged o/h came over and spent most of the day here, hanging the new mirror, ...woohooo...👏 boy was that mirror Heavy..

He did all of my repairs.. fixed the shelf under the sink, repaired the kitchen sink cupboard which we'd only just discovered had caused the shelf to fall out in the first place..so he had to make new brackets, and all sorts of stuff.. to ensure it doesn't collapse again.

He fixed a few things on my computer as well, and fixed a new key safe to my outdoor wall.. .. and several other things

I kinda felt like it was my birthday , I'd got so many outstanding repairs done.. all these things had broken since he left 8 months ago.. and I'm so fussy I hate things being broken or damaged in any way.. so I was delighted by all he did today, and to top it all he was even in a good mood.. :D:giggle:...
After he left at close to 5pm, I drove to Aldi and picked up some middle aisle stuff.. a new garden trug.. a couple of garden chair waterproof cushions....and a couple of large solar flame flickering lamps for the garden ..

...then picked up a Chinese take-away... to save me having to cook, after a long busy day .

...hope you're all still awake... :sneaky::LOL:

@hollydolly .. that mirror looks like it was made for that wall. Gorgeous! Your daughter has good taste.
It's great that your estranged o/h is willing to do these things for you, and that you can still get along.

Love the solar lamp. I bet your garden looks lovely at dusk.

Thanks Pinks.. but the mirror wasn't my daughters' taste it was mine.. I mentioned to her that I'd seen it but wasn't prepared to pay the high price for it.. and she bought it secretly for me as a surprise Mother's day gift...:D
