What's on your agenda for today?

Ever since my hubby had to be placed in hospice facility, I really don't use my cooktop and ovens much. Cooking for just oneself is very unchallenging so mostly I use the microwave or make a salad. When I was a kid I hated kale which my mother served often - she had a gigantic veggie garden so never had to buy vegetables. Now I've been putting kale in salads and I really like it - big surprise to me! The big difference is what else is in the kale salad.
 

That is not the right attitude, Kath....(only joking.)
seriously; try cooking yourself something really nice every once in a while....a casserole; that kind of thing.
you can make it last, and eat other things in between....however your method does avoid cleaning the oven and hob!
 
Good Monday morning, kids. It's going to be a stellar day here...sunshine, 65F. Woohoo!

Thanks for all the concern and the good wishes. Nope. Moving just not an option. The biggest hurdle is the $$...deposits, first & last month's rent, cost of moving utilities and land line. It all adds up. And...he had just signed a new lease on January 1.

I don't have to be at work until 930. It's nice on the one hand because I can fiddle around at leisure this morning. OTOH, it means I'll be there later and not home before about 230 or 3. However, it's not like I have a busy social schedule this afternoon!

Y'all have a great day:)
 

While wife is away, this afternoon, I'm going to spend the afternoon getting things ready for our community garage sale coming up. Have tons of things to sell as we haven't had only one other sale since 2001. How the stuff sure accumulates.

Hm. I know I read these responses today, but I didn't post when I got home from work WHY?

The good news is that my son reported that they looked at the surveillance tapes at his complex and saw the guy who broke into his apartment. Unfortunately, couldn't make out his face. He was on foot. Kicked in the back door and left by the front door. The apartment manager told him that yesterday's "fix" for the door isn't meant to be permanent and that a door was already ordered yesterday. Apparently, because of the age of the building and difficulty in replacing things like doors, they have a supplier. Yay for that. Also, yay for the fact that the new door is steel and comes with some sort of security gizmo to foil anybody who tries to kick it in or jimmy the lock. The frame wasn't damaged at all (more yay for the way older places were built), it was just the door that was damaged. I'm not sure when the new door will be installed, but it can't happen soon enough!

It was a perfectly gorgeous day here today and we're promised another just like it tomorrow. This is probably just a teaser to remind us what spring will be like...before we get some walloping winter ice and/or sNOw storm. However, I'll take it. It was so pleasant outdoors that when I got home from work, I sat out on my patio with a glass of tea. Ahhhh.

Pappy, I hope you get rich at your community yard sale. It's a lot of work but usually worth it. Get rid of stuff and make some money in the bargain!
 
We are being tour guides to our friends who have come for a two week visit. Today is some temples and a pagoda and a nice beach side lunch. Feeling a bit rough today as we all had too many cocktails with dinner last night. Ugh! I need to stick to beer.
 
Very good news about the new steel door Georgia thank Goodness for some small mercies at least. Yes yesterday was suny here too as is this morning ( it's almost 11am here)..but there's a big layer of frost covering everything.

New daffodils are poking through already though in the back garden despite the ice cold temps..:D

Last day off for me today back to work tomorrow supposedly, but it's forecast for heavy snow here tomorrow, and if that happens I won't go because my opposite number who lives near work says she will swap with me to save me from driving a 40 mile round trip..

AS...be warned the evil brew.... :giggle: seriously , I hope you have a lovely day with your newly arrived friends.
 
Today is shopping, and then clean me....after my exertions this weekend.
half the house looks better.....ah well.
 
Holly, we're going to get some nasty weather starting Thursday so enjoying these last two days of springlike temps is my first order of business. We noticed our daffodils poking through a couple of weeks ago. A sure sign of spring...sooner or later:)

Sounds to me like Ameriscot was...um...overserved? LOL
 
Same here Georgia as from tomorrow we're supposed to get snow. I've just rung my opposite number at work and she has confirmed that she will stand in for me if the snows come .. so that's great.

It's actually a gloriously sunny day here today but the sun isn't warm enough to melt the ice. :)
 
Today will be a waiting day like yesterday. Plumber was supposed to come yesterday and he promises first thing this morning.

In the meantime the cats decided that the kitchen sink was their new lake. No swimming but testing the water with paw makes splashy kitty fun in the middle of the night.
 
Good Morning everyone.....well I finally got the garage cleaned out, the weather has been really nice here the last two days, lifts my spirits to be outside.
Today my time will be for my mother.

Aye, those cocktails are sweet and go down too easily! Head is better now. :playful:
 
Sneeze, wipe nose, cough....rinse and repeat. Went to the eye doctor yesterday afternoon and I'm going to have to have laser posterior capsulectomy done in both eyes. Not a big deal; in and out in five minutes. Came home and immediately started coming down with a cold. Went to the walk-in clinic this morning...sinus infection...antibiotics. Last week was the stomach bug. Can't wait to see what fate has in store for next week....leprosy, anyone?

So sorry you aren't feeling well. I pretty much went through similar a week ago which had lasted for nearly two weeks; at the time it was going on I would have prefered to have been in a coma instead of what I was feeling.

Feel better soon.

Also, Jujube, I'll bet your afghan is going to be so cute - I have been trying to teach myself how to crochet and knit but it's a challenge. I wish I hadn't waited until I was antiquated to learn these things!

Granny squares afghans are the easiest things in the world to make. All you need to know are "chain", "double crochet" and "triple crochet" and voila! three or four years later, you have an afghan - lol! (Or as my grandmother used to call them, africans...)
 
Sure hope your health status starts to trend upward fast, Jujube! Three or four years for an afghan! LOL Well, I guess I'll go back to quilting! I've got at least 3 quilts partially completed - most were started quite a while ago, longer than 3 - 4 years. I've tried so many crafts over the years, but my big love has always been gardening. But our community doesn't allow vegetable gardens and one has to get permission to plant flowers, shrubs, etc.
 
House work this morning and an appointment with my doctor this afternoon.
I'm okay it's just a regular visit so he can get paid. :)

It's cold with the occasional snow flurry but the highway looks clear
so no problem driving to town.

Have a good Wednesday everyone.
 
I am flying later this morning. A friend of mine flies for a corporation here in my city and he is down with the flu. I have been approved to fly as the co-pilot. We will be departing Harrisburg at 10:00 a.m. and flying to Charlotte, NC and departing down there at about 4:00 p.m. I got the call at 5:00 a.m. Quick meeting, huh? I am very excited. I haven't flown professionally in over a year. Best part is that I get paid.
