Late Saturday night, high-wind storms began. It meant that neither of us nor kitty kat got any sleep. Overall maybe 2-3 hours at most. So, all bleary and eyes in same sockets.

Received Amber/Yellow warnings, one on top the other, in quick succession round 10am so that killed our day's outing. About 3pm, winds picked up even stronger and the rain in sheets followed. Nothing much changed since!

It turned dark round 14:30 and had to put floor lamp on.

Lunch was delish breakfast sandwich. Dinner, we're celebrating Robert Burns' Day a bit late. Nevertheless, it's Haggis, Tatties and Neeps, with a dram of Whiskey!
 

Woke up at 4 and couldn't get back to sleep. Cut bait at 4:30 and spent some time looking for an interesting new eggplant recipe and fell down the internet rabbit hole. We all know how that happens. Maybe can a nap in a few hours. Most of my life I've had very little trouble staying asleep, but no more. Insomnia being one of advanced age's many "gifts."

Fortunately, I don't have anything on today's schedule that requires great concentration. Too little sleep equals a fuzzy brain.

I've been doing some decluttering will press on with that today. Small areas. Little by little. When that becomes tedious I'll go back to reorganizing my cookbook.

you and me alike... thus far I;ve got the T-shirts drawer done...that is a HUGE drawer, took 40 minutes, and that was going at a fast pace..

Now I've just finished clearing 2 medicine drawers.. and dating everything with a marker pen so I can see the dates clearly..

It started off with me looking for some Contac for my cold..cuz it's driving me nuts.🤧😷. and I found some, but it was 3 years out of date..that would be the last time the o/h used it.. he got/gets colds regularly..
 
Just heard from DDIL. Toddler grandson, who we typically watch Mondays & Tuesdays, is sick with a cough and runny nose. We'll pass on watching him until he's better. He got sick at daycare so he might as well bring those germs right back where he found them. Hoping he's past the worst of it by Thurs & Fri.

DH & I definitely don't want to get sick. Him being barely two years old, he still needs to be picked up a lot, so his face is often only a few inches from ours.

Rose, you don't know! Sometimes I wish I had some "shrooms" or weed. I'd like to see if they would enhance my creativity. :D But alas, I have chosen to remain substance free. 😇

@Pepper So glad you had such a nice time at your book club. Pleasant (in person) human interaction is indeed very important. How often does the club meet?

Sorry about that - I told him to not get too close to Aunt Holly, but he just can't resist getting some of your cuddles.

So happy to say that after working on them in fits and starts, I've now decluttered, cleaned and organized all three bathrooms' cabinets, undersink areas and drawers. Threw away A LOT, got some things together for donation, and realized I have enough shampoo & conditioner hotel sized bottles to get me through many months. Body lotions? Probably a year's worth.

Meantime, DH has been juicing most of the oranges that fell from our tree during the last couple of windy days.

I will be spending the rest of the day being thankful that I don’t have teenagers in my house now! I just finished watching The Cosby Show with all of their teenagers in their house and the problems that went with them. I haven’t laughed that much in a long time!

I little to say well about Him. Cosby guilty of - Bing $400,000,000 speaks of it all. "is there is a different justice sometimes." Haha
Penn. 100,000's in hardship needs areas now. Same in W.V. Not everyone has it so good.

I was also cleansing out today. Medicine cabinet and under bathroom sink.
I bought and installed one of those white wire shelves under a long deep kitchen cabinet shelf. I put things back there I never use as it difficult to pull out anything from the back. I added my new shelf to the existing one and doubled the space. It holds all my small appliances like mini food processor, magic bullet, mini waffle maker, hand mixer, etc. within reach and neat.
Daughter and grandkids are coming tomorrow while work is being done on the new house. Yay!
