Good morning my O-zies!
Guess what?
It's time.
Time for what, you ask?
It is time for me to freak out over the calendar. We are halfway through October!

All of the stores that have their Christmas decorations out must be on to something. *snicker*
It's going to be Christmas before I even buy Halloween candy. Ha!
How was your weekend? It felt like an autumn weekend here. I puttered about the house in the morning and cooked all afternoon. I am caught up on my laundry, have my menu set up for the week, and started my grocery order. I make roasted ratatouille pasta and vegan breadsticks for dinner. Lots of prep work for that but worth it. Between the pasta and the homemade gnocchi soup I made on Saturday, I have leftovers for the next couple of nights. Yay!
And what is up for today? I have to put the empty Halloween boxes in the attic. Although- maybe I can store them in Scott's room instead. He asked us to not do anything with it just yet, he isn't ready to break that last link. Not that we have any money to furnish it in any way. And the carpet- Yuck! Totally needs to be ripped up. At some point, I want to paint and redecorate. But there is the problem of $$ (what else is new? LOL!).
I think I am going to steam clean up there today, that makes sense.
This afternoon is Coloring Crew and that's it!
Sending everyone love ♥

I was looking at one of our family's earliest album with its torn off front and back with only the rings holding the pages together and it dawned on me that the pages could be transferred into a another ring binder and stored in another bookcase with other family albums and not tucked away in a box!!! Crazy that I seem to have thought that it should be always in that broken apart album!!!
Good thing that I had looked in the freezer earlier and pulled out a few meals. Had a delicious turkey and dumplings stew for lunch. So I am all set for the next few days of 'no cooking'... LOL
So, I'll update you. He's doing as well as can be expected today- he went through a LOT in thelast couple of days. They have him in ICU and he'll probably be there for a few days. He's developed some kind of infection but they don't know what it is until the cultures come back. Typical Chuck, he said he appreciated us coming up but he didn't feel like talking. He tells it like it is. Steph's on her way - she's in our county so I expect her to be rolling up any time. She's going to be such a help to me plus she can read all the machines and knows all of the medical jargon. I wished she'd been here yesterday, but she had to make sure she could work from here, etc. and it was kind of last minute. We kept in close contact with her and she was telling us what to look for and what questions to ask. Kay
