I didn't think this time change would affect me but it is. Just a bit. I got up at six today because I made myself go back to sleep at 4:30. I think it takes about a week.
I did get a good amount of raking done yesterday and now, this morning, glorious rain! Everything needs a good soaking.

I would like to take all my Christmas decorations down and do a good cleaning out. It would be great to have it down to the tree and ornaments then maybe two bins. I find it hard to part with some even if I don't display them anymore. My kids have taken a few but they have their own style. We don't decorate outside much anymore but DH always says he's going to so keep them. 🙄
 
Another grim dank looking day. I was going to get my hair done today.. but the salon did me dirty last time I went, and waited until I'd got there early morning before telling me they didn't have anyone who could do it..instead of ringing me ahead of time .... so I just didn't go in case it happens again.

Right, I need some suggestions..

When my new bed arrives I'm having it put into what was the O/h's office room... and the bed in my bedroom is being removed. That means I'll have an empty bedroom... it's not large , but I need suggestions as to what to use it for. Given that I may move in the near future.. not guaranteed.. but a possibility, I don't want to be spending much money on it.. .. and given that I already have an office room for myself... and a walk in closet

What do you all think I should use the empty bedroom for ?

Holly do you have a basement or attic in your home? I'm thinking put all your suitcases in the spare bedroom if& when you do move Sue
 
On my early morning walk at 6:30 temp was 54 as I went to buy local paper for myself& friend Connie
Yesterday, Marcia called to see how I was feeling, asked if I could come dog sit, Tage my 'buddy boy' for a couple of hrs. She has a meeting in Dunkirk, which is about 45 min south of Buffalo,she's picking me up at 9:30
It will be the highlight of my day
 
Up again all night, I tried to sleep for a couple hours, gave up. I decided to go ahead and gt shower, get dressed. The pharmacy will be open at 9, I will pick up the new med for the diabetes.

I have been doing a lot of reading and research. I am going to make a walmart run to pick up a lot of veg. Some I don't care for unless they are roasted. I also need to find a type of whole grain bread that fits my requirements. Look at the whole grain pasta, different seasonings to try to get my salt addiction under control.

I will get this thing going, it is going to hard. I like to eat what I like to eat.
 
@hollydolly, what about a glam room. Get yourself a cute vanity and chair to do your hair and makeup.

Then hang all your nice things for displays on the walls. Handbags, hats, scarves, gloves, belts, sweaters and of course shoes,.
You could do a display with all your costume jewelry, I would not put out the real stuff, just in case
 
Morning folks.....Well I'm up, but not sure what i am doing....
dishes of course, but otherwise? Oh last nite the stray cat
was caught in the live trap, so animal control should be
coming by to take it to shelter, one less out in the cold weather...it is abt 39F here now, not going up much either...
Usual aches and pains of course, but good news, the pollen
has dropped a lot, so grateful for that....Catch you later....;):love::coffee:

talking about salt addiction. My mums' younger sister was addicted to salt. Way back in the 40's..
Where people would take sweets to the Cinema (movies).. she would take a pack of salt...

her kidneys packed up, and she died just 23 years old...

Good for you, @Blessed , I knew you could do this! So happy about your turnaround. 🌹
 
Ugh.... up at 3 AM and couldn't go back to sleep. Got TGS coming today so need to be on my A game. The good news - he still naps for a couple of hours, so I'll grab a nap when he does.

High winds again today, but they're supposed to settle down by this evening and not return tomorrow. Unfortunately, yesterday a serious wind-driven fire erupted in an adjacent county with over 14,000 acres burned so far, and 0% containment despite 800 brave firefighters battling it.

That is a photo from last year.

After it bloomed, someone in my other forum asked me if I was going to plant it in my garden. 😲. I didn't know that it was an option!!!!

I went online and looked into it. Apparently they do very well outside! They are force bloomed for Christmas, but once they are in the garden they will go back to their natural schedule, and they will bloom in the spring.

At planting time (spring), I put it in the garden. It did well, until I got an insane kitten who loved to jump on it and tear up the area around it!!!! LOL

Now that my kitten is older he ignores it. It has made a wonderful come back!!! I'm thinking that it must be very hardy! That is why I decided to add one or two to the garden each year.

I'm really looking forward to seeing it bloom outside next spring!

This is very good to know! I'll buy one for each of my kids (plus one for myself) as part of their Christmas gifts. Will tell them to plant it in their gardens come springtime!
 
Morning quests this morning.
Best friend's wife , her DIL & new grand baby.

The wife wanted to look at our RV.
She would like a something she could put in back yard & live in.
Her son, & his new family could live in the house.

We did get into talking about wills, guns,property.
Made me realize our wills are out dated.

Will have to talk with hubby about them.

Hopefully both of our sons will be here around Thanksgiving to talk with.
