Daily Ooos: May 10-11: Weekend Edition

I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Well, I am free for the most part. The appt went fine, the bone is showing the right amount of remodeling. Pain levels/range of motion/muscle strength are all where they should be. I am cleared for normal activity and low-level hiking. No rock scrambles (not that I do them often anyway) just yet but the trails at work are fine. He kept cautioning me that I need to be careful not to roll my ankle or fall and to go slowly at first.
*fist pump*
I texted my friend as soon as I got home to see if she wanted me to come next week to clean her house-- it's been months. She texted me back so fast! I warned her that I might not be able to finish what I typically do and pay accordingly.

I have a busy weekend/next few days. The shower is today and tomorrow, we are going to my mom's for Mother's Day. I have to get her something-- maybe just flowers. I don't have any other ideas and no extra money. I know she never expects anything, but I can't go empty-handed either. Monday is the Lyme doctor for Gary and me. Squeeze in Cheery O work and lesson planning for Tues and the next field trip and the schedule is packed.
I got a few texts yesterday from the intern who was covering for me on the Pod field trip. He had a couple of last-minute questions since the weather was calling for heavy rain all day. Then he updated me with some pics and said that the day went great. I love it when a plan goes off smoothly.

I don't know if I have time to blow my hair out stright or if I should leave it a curly mess today. If I can do brief personals I shoud be able to blow it out.
Any bets on whether I can stop rambling too much?

Thank you all for the good wishes for my foot!

Beginning to think it might be a problem with the telephone wiring as the internet is working fine,

So that's some good and not so good right there. I hope that the line is fixable, and thank goodness you have the internet.
Have a wonderful visit with your DDs!

Honestly it looks like I paid an exorbitant amount for a bag of sugar!

*grumbles* That is irritating. At least you know not to get it again.
I hope that you were able to rest and are feeling back to yourself. Good luck with the devotionals today.

@taxed4ever Smart woman, not getting the Moderna shot. Sorry that your Gary is feeling like crud.

We had on person on our hike with a bear horn and she kept blowing it over and over again, we were all telling her to stop, it was so annoying and it was just pissing the bears off .

hahah!!! And that is the last thing you want to do-- annoy the bears. (pssst-- she is lucky no one got seriously aggravated and pushed her towards the bears )

I want photos of how you managed to wrap them. That should be fun.

I should have been clearer- the nightstands are to be assembled. It was just hard to maneuver the heavy boxes on the table. although I have wrapped some things oddly over the years...

I did giggle and thought ooooohhhhhh Uber Moose in training. Maybe they'll get Chris on time now!

Maybe I have a chance!
Have you posted any of the recipe LOs? They sound wonderful and with you-- I love me a messy page (obvs!) but for the recipes, a clean uniform look sounds awesome.

It is a beautiful spring day and I am wishing I hadn't signed up for a nurse shift. I just want to go outside and play! Hope you all have a great day.

I hope the weather is still perfect for you the next time you have off.

I've learned to be pretty protective of my Friday afternoons. 1 in 6 weeks I'll schedule a lunch out with a friend or an appt. The remaining 5 are time I get to spend a.l.o.n.e.

Yes!!! Good for you!!! Enjoy the Pottery Fair today!

This time we got a few new shrubs so it was even more expensive than usual. So we spent most of yesterday weeding and planting, and my legs are letting me know that this isn't bike riding!

But it's a good hurt! At least that is how I feel after I am sore from gardening.
Good thoughts to your DD. I would feel the same as you, no need to catastrophize. Cautious, sure, but catastrophizing doesn't sound necessary.

Ooh, think I did pretty good with not rambling!

TTYS!

Good Sunny bright beautiful day!

YEAH!!!!!! That's so wonderful!! I bet you feel like a whole new woman!!!

Oh, I'm slightly disappointed but should have known. Everything always comes with some assembly required.

Maybe I have a chance!

Nope, haven't posted any recipe LO as they have photos or they are supplies not sold here. I just scrap whatever, however when its not for a challenge. Mostly though they have photos of people with the recipe, like birthday cakes. I chose a nice neutral white background which sounds boring but when you make it 100% size you can see a bit of texture so its not white like printing paper. All the fonts are the same size. I'll see if I can get a quick screen shot showing all the recipes sitting in the file. They look neat and clean. Tons of white space which is odd for me but it looks better. I'll see if I can do a side by side of the before and after so you can see why I changed my mind.

Yesterday was glorious and sunny! 81* on my deck in the sun 55* everywhere else. Today is going to be the same if not hotter. My clothes are dried on the line outside. Never used the dryer yesterday and its amazing. I love how they smell. I think I sat outside for 2 hours. Got a bit of sun and it felt glorious. Compression tights had to go though. I could feel my feet swelling the longer I sat outside but when I came in I looked and they were not anything like in the past. So they did swell some but not as bad as I feared they might. YEAH! Today will find me outside sitting again until we have to run kiddo to a friends house and run errands. Off to grab some coffee. Have a wonderful day!

@faerywings Here are a few side by sides. If you can imagine them all in a book, where the recipe is to shine, you can see the white ones will look better all put together. The colorful ones are more fun but I dont think they'll go well together. I have a few pages that are vibrant raspberry color cause of the recipe calling for raspberry jello. Just jarring to look at when all together.

Morning O family another very quick post from me as we are headed out the door once again to do some errands, more stuff from Home Depot and a few groceries! We had a very nice rain this morning and it was really needed! All the potted plants are very happy to have the nice drink! Having dinner tonight with the In-Laws for Mother's Day as tomorrow we are going to a Celebration of Life for SIL Linda's ex boyfriends Mother, not the best way to spend Mother's Day but I will go visit my parents at their grave site and have already gotten some roses for Mom. I sure miss her and Dad and now my brothers also! Still not sure what my SIL is going to do with my brother's ashes, but I guess she will decide one of these days. Anyway I gotta run, have a lovely Saturday!

Well this is it - down to the wire. 2 days to get it all done- departing noon on monday. Yesterday I pruned a few shrubs, weeded the last garden, packed clothes, made my reservation for camping with youngest grandson in NY, dehydrated herbs since I cannot take my plants. I did some laundry, made lunch, took 2 bags of food to the trailer, made chopped wedge salad for a friends celebration of life. Last evening we went to the club for our goodbye pot luck for a long time member, it was over at 8:00 but hubby invited friends over for drinks....ugh I was tired and wanted to sit to relax, they only stayed till 9:30 so not too bad. This morning we made a trip to the trailer put out the slide so I was able to put clothes away and stow stuff under the bed. Doing more laundry and other things on my list. Will get another food bag together.
So today is our son's 51st birthday not sure how he got so old when I'm only 36 (my twin brother and I share our age) LOL. I called him but had to leave a message, he called me back but I missed the call, I called him back no answer- he must be busy at the shop. His son asked his mother "are we going to have another blow out party for Dad like we did last year?" So cute. "nope"
This morning there are only 9 baby ducks


@faerywings Yippeee Free!!! I'm glad you are healing and can get back to your normal busy life. Good job following the Dr. orders. Have a fun time at the bridal shower. I hope you put a red bow out and that it works.

@Terri M I will try cooking eggs in the insta-pot

@BrightEyes Girltime---how nice. Sorry you are having phone trouble, I hope the techs can help you. We got rid of our land line 15 years ago, we only had it for our security but changed that system so didn't need it. We love our iPhones.

@vickyday I hope you feel better, there were a few sick people here too. Are you done decluttering? That was a big job

@tiffany scraps I wish you many days off with wonderful weather.

@taxed4ever how annoying to have someone with a horn blowing the entire hike that really spoils it for everyone it was just rude.

@mimes1 Enjoy your friday afternoons...alone or with someone it will be just want you need. I hope you found some cool items at the pottery fair I wish you very Happy Mothers day I hope you get to be with your wonderful girls.

Got to go clean more in kitchen and put sealer on the granite counters.

Have a wonderful weekend
