Today, having my "soul daughter and grand daughter" over for present unveiling and lunch - also my Brit neighbor (horse lady) is coming over for lunch, too. Hub will probably try to make himself as invisible as he can, what with the "hen party" in progress...lol.

Bet a lot of Christmas get together parties are changing schedules due to the "once in a generation" snow bomb blizzards across the country. It is set to hit here tonight -thru Saturday night.

Got to spend half an hour with Likkle Grandson this morning so all is not lost.

Got an Apple Watch and a couple of nice 18 year olds so that's also good :D

we had all that snow last week Liberty.. it's gone for now, but this morning they're forecast it back again right after Christmas .

Hope your hen party goes well.. (y)
 
Today is a stay at home day for me (I hope). Chores and last minute little spiffy things to do. I've already done one....while dressing, I opened a dresser drawer and noticed the handle was slightly loose. So, got my little screw driver and have tightened down all screws in all handles on drawers, cabinets, cupboard, etc. It's the little things that count on a day like this one.

good luck with the doc..whatever is ailing you, I hope he has the answers..

Tell me how you know you have 3 loads of Laundry.. do you separate them into certain piles..? I just put everything in together with a colour run sheet... . the only time I have separate loads is when I'm doing the bedding ..
 
I have a little problem. There's way too much 💵 in my checking account. I've done the math a zillion times and don't find an error and checked my online statement against my own calculations and still don't find an error. Checked my budget to make sure that I deducted everything that's not due yet to make sure that I've allowed for upcoming online payments. Nope. It comes out right to the penny🪙...the 🪙 that I don't dare spend or transfer to my EF.

Have I mentioned that I don't do numbers?:rolleyes: Good thing I don't work for a bank🏦

I go by sheer volume for the amount of loads, how many regular machines it would take to do a good job, don't like to overstuff machine. Today is just more clothes. Of course, I do bedding, towels, etc as different loads from clothes. You see, I've accumulated so many clothes, etc., haven't done laundry for about a month, but I always have extra to wear, extra towels to dry, extra sheets and pillowcases, so having all these extras I let the laundry pile up.

The doc is female and she will be shrinking my neuroses back into my head. Rotsa Ruck on that doc!

I can see how that could be an ordeal. I do our laundry once a week and just recently donated a lot of good stuff to Goodwill, seeing as we don't even look at it. We do keep one or two extra though. Also, we are downsizing, so we have to downsize.

Good luck with your appointment Trish. It's quiet around here but then it coukd be because it's raining. The rail workers are not on strike today.. but will be again on Chritmas Eve, and Boxing day, so perhaps people have taken advantage of that.. or maybe people are just not going out for fear of accidents.. because the Ambulance staff are all on strike.. who knows.. but with all the strikes it's not making for a very Jolly Christmas..

Today I'm staying home because of the rain...

Last night I had a very strange dream.. I dreamt that I discovered my estranged husband hadn't fed the dogs for 2 days.. and there was no food in the house for them, and he wasn't concerned.. but they were getting angry as well as ravenously hungry ..
. I was scrambling frantically to find anything at all in the store cupboard I could give them to eat .. and oddly the Dogs in my dream were all the dogs who've been dead for a few years.. the Doberman, the staffie.. and the rescue Pitbull... I woke up after only finding one can of food.. and not knowing how I was going to distribute it

It was a very odd dream, because not only had he never starved the dogs.. he never had anything to do with feeding them..

Thank you. All went well :)

Interesting dream. I was once told that it's not the content of the dream but how you felt when you were having the dream. Bearing that in mind, perhaps your dream was about the barn (rushing around, frantically trying to save stuff that is important to you) because your husband seems not to have taken care of the things you trusted him to? You feel helpless and overwhelmed with the situation and feelings he left behind? 🤗

Got up early and had breakfast. Left at 8 to go get bloodwork done for upcoming Urology appointment. Really not looking forward to this one. Very intrusive procedure. One of my instructions is to drink a quart of water one hour, and hold it in, before my appointment. Oh hell yes…that’ll work real well.. o_O

When they told me to do that, I was worried that I'd pee my pants. But I was okay. When I got there, I didn't have enough liquid in my bladder. So I had to drink another quart (actually a liter) of water, and wait another half hour. I was still okay.

So it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. I hope everything goes well for you!

Yes perhaps.. you may well be right... but why the dogs I wonder.. why not feed the dogs, and why the dogs that have all passed in the last few years, and not the current one who are elderly.. ?.. all rhetoric questions of course.. :unsure:
 
Yesterday went according to plan, which was encouraging.

Today, uh ... I'll see if I can continue with the "get money from the government" project. I might not be able to today, as they're going to send me a code by snail mail. In the meantime I'm supposed to have "partial access" or something, so who knows? So frustrating.

Exercise.

No particular household task is planned, but there's always something to do.
