today i'll wash the dishes, scoop the litter boxes, and make one liter of soda. i'll also portion into containers and freeze the remainder of the crushed maraschino cherries 
. i'll move a pint container of vegetable shortening back up to the freezer.
i'll likely spend some time with my budget, but not 'pushing myself' today. i got the rest of the 10 face cords of hardwood (firewood) stacked and covered with tarps yesterday, so am tired, and my feet are sore.

Have a rest today as you certainly deserve it. Someone gave me a foot spa and massager. It's wonderful. You put the desired temp of water in it and it keeps that temp. I put fragrant bath salts in and turn it on and it massages my feet.today i'll wash the dishes, scoop the litter boxes, and make one liter of soda. i'll also portion into containers and freeze the remainder of the crushed maraschino cherries

Feels sooo good. I used it yesterday. I twisted my ankle trying not to step on the Vincie girl and needed to soak that foot. You should pamper yourself today.
where's Pam?

she's been absent. Hope everything's ok with her. She had mentioned Rick's mom was ill.
GOOD GRIEF,

, I'd be dead!
Finalized getting my new phone activated with new company, same number
Waded through 231 emails, by actual count, but only 43 of them needed my actual attention
SOMETIME today, I shall go and chisel the bird nest off of the front door and throw it and the wreath away. The nest is glued to the door with baby birdie poo. Baby birdies poo a LOT!

Hi guys!
It's been a long and destructive week around here. Those of you who were in the path of those storms know all about it. Ugly. We didn't even turn the computer on for most of the week. On Wednesday, I came home in the midst of a storm. There were downed trees and branches on the highway. Visibility was next to nothing. There was a downed tree on our road and I had to drive into a neighbor's front yard to avoid it. The tree that we've been babying since the original storm hit it a couple years ago is gone, broken by a storm on Wednesday. And there was a huge branch from another tree in the front yard; Rick spent yesterday playing with the chain saw. I told Rick that, if this keeps up, we won't have any trees left! Usually our mountain to the west of us breaks up the bad storms....the last couple of years, the storms are roaring through the mountains. Lots of downbursts and there was another tornado in the county. Rick even took the cats in carriers to the basement on Tuesday and stuck them below the steps; he figured that would be safest place for them. Needless to say, I didn't even bother to turn the computer on for most of the week.
On Friday, I had the first of two shingles shots and ended up with a really bad reaction: chills, muscle aches, etc. Rick had the reactions, too, but his weren't as bad. So anyway, that's where I've been. It needs to stop with the bad storms. Don't get me wrong; we're lucky. Those in Ohio were not. We're grateful that we're all OK and that all we lost were trees.
Our son called last night. He was sitting on his back porch. One of the storms that hit us yesterday got to them and I could hear the wind start to roar. He was telling me that he was taking the grands to classes (GS has drum class and GD has dance class) on Wednesday. One of the storms started to come through with hail. He ducked in to a car wash for a while, but then, after the hail stopped, turned around and went home. Anyway, last night, we were talking and he said, "OK, Mom, that lightning was too close!" and then I heard the thunder. And we hung up.
ETA: My apologies for missing the QoTD for Friday. With everything else going on, I completely forgot about it! I'm really sorry.

- Breakfast for the kids, emptied the dishwasher, sitting back here with my coffee. Rick stripped the bed and put the sheets in the washer.
- I have three more loads of laundry to do
- Vacuum, dust, etc. (We spent pretty much all of yesterday outside, Rick with the chainsaw and me with the lawn mowers. But our outside work is done for the week)
- I just took a pan of applesauce brownies out of the oven. Some for us and some for my co-workers.

said My apologies for missing the QoTD for Friday. With everything else going on, I completely forgot about it! I'm really sorry.No worries. We're just glad you're back and everything is ok.
I bet you can't wait for your she-shed to arrive. Hopefully it will arrive by the summer solstice so you can have a little party in it with the Beast.
- Boxes
- Tea
- So tired, we had storms that began last night around 8:00pm and didn't end till around 4:00am; all night, rain, thunder and lightning that lit up my room like the North Star. Big Cal was so frightened that she slept on the upstairs bathroom floor, poor baby. Lucky deaf Vincie girl slept soundly all night. Now I need a nap.
i'll tell you, i'm beginning to think these damaging storms, tornados, flooding, fires, and earthquakes......are a bad omen. the US has really been 'hammered', and that earthquake just before you-know-who landed in Japan. now, to see if there'll be something similar in the UK, while that one's there......or maybe protesting or riots.
today i'll wash the dishes, and scoop the litter boxes. i've already spent more time with my budget (in addition to yesterday's efforts). i'll make one liter of soda, too.
after that, i'll likely sit down with a nice hot cup of tea and watch some tv. i may play some computer games this evening.

Good point

! And that's all I can say, except for 
Back to work today. Rick is off; they'll start negotiating tomorrow again.
I hadn't even sat down yet! I told her about making the applesauce brownies and forgetting to add the sugar; she said, "Well! You should have brought some anyway!" I'll make her some white chocolate and macadamia nut cookies next weekend; she loves them. (I never did get her doughnuts made. Things just got crazy and I never got around to it.)

NO BEAST IN THE SHED!

- Breakfast for the kids, walked 5 miles, and got ready for work
- We have to grab groceries tonight; we haven't had a thorough grocery order in quite a few weeks again. I need everything. Even salt!
- Must scoop the boxes, unless Rick does them today

Ha!! She sounds like quite the character,I knew she was feeling better when we walked in; she looked at me and said, "Are you not doing any baking? No cookies? Nothing?"

- Have an appt. this morning at Pain Management so have to be ready when the ride service gets here. I don't like this particular service because I've ridden with them twice and both times it's been awful Fingers crossed.

-- i'm so glad to hear that your MIL is feeling much better! 
as i did quite a bit yesterday, i've only got a few things to do today. i'll wash the dishes, scoop the litter boxes, and make one liter of soda. i may spend some time on a project, too.
after that, i'll play some computer games, and may watch some tv.
My appt went well! The ride service was on time and the driver even brought me lunch and I ate part of it on the way home. Chicken tenders with the hottest hot sauce I've ever bad but delicious.
Good grief,
Winchester
, I guess you did forget the QoD! Don't give it a thought!
Today...
Did my monthly grocery shopping. Forgot ground beef, but still have 4# in the freezer
Got all the groceries put away, and had time to relax before TCS!
Actually didn't get sick from the heat, and made it to TCS, and that's a major accomplishment for me!

Rick's mom is doing much better! Thanks!

Yes, she really is quite the character at times!
I was rather busy at work with a graphics project, but finally finished it this afternoon.

Worked on a computer project.
Had a nice, long "Cat Dancer" session with Hek.
Soon as I'm done here, will wash my hair.

I love your signature. We got up about 30 minutes later than usual. Neither of us felt like dragging our butts out of bed. The kids were not amused. Mollipop kept jumping into bed and dive-bombing me. Amber and Pepe were screaming bloody murder. Even The Beast was excited; she needed to go out. We finally decided to save our skins and get up and feed the clan.
- Breakfast for the kids, walked 3 miles, scooped the boxes, and got ready for work. Working over lunch today and leaving early as the stone is coming for the shed pad.
- I think I'm going to mow the yard tonight, if everything works out OK
