Happy new week and fresh start!!
I need that mental attitude today. I am feeling way off. Waaay off. I personally am fine but many of the people I love are struggling and I can't help. My BFF's mom had strokes on both sides of her brain last week and is still unable to talk or eat. She turned 95 a few weeks ago and the prognosis isn't good as far as they can tell ATM. I spent a couple of hours with my friend across the street and she is having a rough time trying to pack a household of 25 years of memories. Caitlyn came over to chat with her too, she is like her second mom. On a smaller scale of worry, Jaida's leg looks like it is getting worse and I hope Gary or I can squeeze in an appt for her today.
I guess all of that was weighing on me last night and I had weird, unsettling dreams which left me in a funky mood when I woke up.

I am working this morning and then I have an eye doctor's appointment this afternoon. I hate eye drs more than just about any other appt. I can't make decisions on what looks clearer or not. :/

So that's all I got...
That and my bestest friend:

PS: Did I tell you what happened with the coffee yesterday morning????
Gary set up the coffee the night before like he always does. But he forgot the most important thing--the coffee! I woke up to a pot of hot water.

Ya just cannot do that to me!


He made it perfect for me today

@vickyday I am so relieved that PSE is working again. I swear the Computer Gremlins are just awful sometimes.

@BrightEyes All good thoughts to your DDs' work crew as they move and repair what needs to be done at grandson's house.
You really have such an amazing family, how they all pull together.
Are you feeling better, any less sore? Be kind to your back!

ME I am so tired. I slept hard but yeah I didn't relax yesterday.

I feel you.
Maybe you'll still get lucky and have a few weeks of hot and dry summer weather for the bees.
Your yard and views of the lake must be breathtaking but ya really had to mow the lawn?? SMH!
However, I am thrilled that you mowed and you noticed that huge difference in your legs. That's the best news! Be careful scraoticng your almost-bum in public LOL

You're giving me permission to drink M.O.R.E coffee!!

You never need permission for that.It's a given

Agreed!

Quick in and out.
Heading to the bank.
Next is taking some snacks to a gal at church who will take the snacks with her to Bible camp tomorrow for the kids.
Then to Ilene's. We will probably go out to eat and then back to the house to play Qwirkle.
Got the last pages of our PA trip posted.
Have a great day!

Awwww Big hugs to you today. I'm glad youre fine but it is hard when those around us are struggling. I did giggle about the pot of hot water. Nothing worse to start the day other then no coffee at all.

Today is rain again. Cause its my laundry day and I wanna hang things outside. They smell so much better and my dryer loves the break. But yeah, its raining. Yesterday was 70° and sunny and I sat outside for a couple hours and then had to come inside as I was melting in the heat. I dont have to leave my house today so I am looking forward to that.

@mimes1 Amy as Chris said, no permission needed go grab that extra cup! I am off to do just that! Its black though as its fasting Monday cause my body needs it. No other reason.

Morning, everyone. Slept in till 8AM this morning. DD#1 and I woke up about the same time - later than we had planned. Got a call from DD#3 - her Son#1 caught the bug that Son#2 has had for the last few day... so Son#1 is not able to come down to help with grandson's house... So the DDs will prep and paint the last bedroom and do other things instead of moving furniture. The roofers will be there tomorrow. My job is to fix evening meals and be a sounding board for them as they work out schedules of what to do and when. My yard guy is scheduled to come tomorrow. So we are hoping that the rains hold off until evening time.
DD#1 just called and needs me to bring her a couple of things. BBL...

but many of the people I love are struggling and I can't help.

@BrightEyes Hope the move/work goes well at the house!

But he forgot the most important thing--the coffee! I woke up to a pot of hot water.

That is funny. And sounds like my DH aka Hubster.
Chris, I understand those feelings and they take a lot to maneuver around. The past year with my Dad was like that. Not much I could do 1000 miles away. Prayer is all that got me though them.

Awww, sorry you have rain again. I LOVE a clothesline, fresh air, and it removes some of the chemical smell from the laundry soap.

@vickyday Glad your PSE woke up and started living again.
Sunshine and HEAT today - but at least it looks pretty, even if you can't breathe outdoors, lol. Still waiting to hear how DS's interview went. DD and oldest GS are out on a culinary adventure. GS Maddox is a budding chef. They are going to the state capital to peruse and scavenger the Asian marketsand go to my fav. restaurant there- Kairos Mediterranean. Lucky!!
Me, I have a clean studio and NEW studio sfuffs!


Can't wait to try them out. Always continuing to learn to improve. Its my way of dealing with the weight of waiting- and maintaining joy in the process. For me, it's a daily choice.
WIshing everyone peace and a joyful day no matter what comes your way!

Oh my goodness, sounds like a full time job. I bet you have them whipped into shape in no time.

I have an awesome laundry soap thats natural and NO chemicals. Its amazing. Love the whole company for natural products and no chemicals. Puracy is amazing. No kickback. Not employee, just amazing and works for me. If this link isn't okay, please remove it. Its not scrap related so I think I am ok but also understand if its needs to be removed.

Here's a fun story. Erinn picked up one of those green BBQ eggs on FB marketplace a couple months ago for a super price. Mark has been eyeing that egg of hers and has enjoyed watching her learn to cook on it, and he's become interested too. Therefore, Erinn has been shopping FB marketplace for Mark for another one. There have been a few possibilities, but nothing has panned out, and we also have to consider the 5 hour drive to Erinn's to pick it up should she find one. Today, Erinn texted and said she found one in our relative area. I texted Mark and asked if he was serious, and he said yes. I clicked the little link on FB marketplace asking if it was still available. No sooner did I do that, I noticed the name of the seller. It's our neighbor, 4 doors down. The mom of whom took care of my mom when we'd have to be away overnight! I texted our neighbor, asked if it was indeed them, it was, told them Mark wanted it, SOLD! To the neighbor down the street! They'll push it down to our house later this week. It cracks me up that Erinn, living 5 hours away, found this 4 doors down.

We've had daily evening thunder storms every day for a week - and it's so green and beautiful here.

@faerywings sorry to read you've had a funky day. It's ok to feel all the feels. Give yourself some extra grace today.

Gary set up the coffee the night before like he always does. But he forgot the most important thing--the coffee! I woke up to a pot of hot water.

I did this just tonight as I was making a cup to dash off to bible study with. Made myself a nice cuppa water.

Hope you all had a nice day!
