Daily Ooos: Monday, September 25

[faerywings]

OK, ladies--

I am working on my to-do list for the week and it's a big one. I got this! *punches air a la Rocky*

If I can work on something around the house every day, it will get done before the party on Sunday. I added up the guest list and it's looking like 30+ people. It's all good, It will be fine. My house isn't big enough for 30 people but we will all gather in the 6' of kitchen space like sardines. Just as we always do.

I was able to figure out the majority of the menu yesterday and if everyone brings something to pick on, we will have more than enough food. I'll have vegan/vegetarian/low-sodium/nut-free options. If anyone is gluten-free, however, they are on their own.

Scott stopped in to get mail yesterday and I had a pang when he left. I was about to say "I'll see you tonight" but realized that nope, I wouldn't. That felt strange but I'll get over it.

My goal for today is to get the fridge and freezer cleaned out. I have to see what's in them, so much gets shoved to the back and forgotten. Then I can get the grocery order completed. I started it yesterday, but it's not quite finished. If I can get my act together, I am going to Coloring Crew this afternoon. It will be a good thing to take a break from cleaning and organizing here.

Big hugs to all of you

@vickyday Squirrel did have her own fan club, it was really cute. ♥ She came out to see me when I went up to see Cait this morning. She never does that so maybe she eventually will come out some mornings. She even let me scoop her up and snuggle for her minute.
How is the appetite today? We are still getting rain from Ophelia- three straight days, ugh. If you see the sun yesterday, maybe we will see it later today.

@LSlycord Hahahaha!! Doesn't it always seem like a good idea at the time., no matter what we do? Knitting, quilting, cross stitching...
Rabbit holes... One day, I am sure I'll meet up with you in one of mine. I have an entire warren of them, Bwuhahah!


@Cherylndesigns So sorry that you had one of those days yesterday. Feeling any better today?
My neighbor (the one I clean for with spooky stuff in his house) has a solid black skeleton flamingo on his lawn. I guess it's not solid but two-toned because you can see the bones. Anyway, they are really cute and perfect for FL yards
That's good to know that the meds are being tapered down for Marley. Is there remission for this kind of cancer? It has to feel so good to see her have energy again.
I am sure that you were able to get everything ready for Adrienne and Co for dinner, even if you have to fake it til ya make it.

Good morning! All of the quilting supplies are organized. Unbelievable accomplishment by me! I am so thrilled by that! (I'm sure that I will find a few stragglers as I go along so there will be a little bit left...but I'm feeling optimistic!

Wonder what it would be like to be totally organized?Definitely not going to do that! I guess I'd have to start some new hobbies.

everyone! Hope it is a great week!

Sorry to tell you, but I still have those pangs when my oldest heads back to her home 6 hours away! It doesn't go away, it just gets easier!

I'm fixing some food as we speak and then heading to Carolyn's. Ilene is already there.
It got cloudy here again yesterday afternoon and is somewhat cloudy today, but more sunshine than clouds! Here's hoping you have sunshine today!

 

[vickyday]

Good Morning to Everyone!
Getting ready to head to Carolyn's to meet up with Ilene, too. Ilene is leaving town again tomorrow! She is such a gat-about! I'm glad her health allows her to run away from home whenever she feels like it!
Been to the grocery store already today. Had to get Mark's colonoscopy stuff and some fresh veggies. I'm in the mood for a salad!
Anyway, have a great day!

A bit of a happy but also sad day as I to Jim and Alyn an hour ago. They are off to Las Vegas to pick up their BIG suitcases (that are in storage) then to CA for a few days before they fly to the Philippines. It was wonderful having them here... but now the house seems empty and so quiet. It was like a step back in time.... watching the football games with Jim and kibitzing about them. Just like we did when he still lived at home. Decided that the housework - changing sheets, doing laundry, etc - could wait for another day or so. Will get back into my old routine later on!!

Was going to set-up an appointment for the Covid shot but instead of getting one at the close by pharmacy they kept showing places 15-25 miles from here!!! And it changed every time I signed in to look at what is available but never showed the pharmacy I use. I know the local one has the manufacture I want as I talked to them 2 days ago. Will make a trip (1 mile) over there and see if I can get one one as walk-in. Thursday is my appointment with the GI doc.

Going to be a busy weekend with Color Play being released. Glad it didn't happen when Jim and Alyn were here.

Will try to get back into a more normal routine here in October. But - typing is still an issue. At least I can scrap some now. HAGD

Good afternoon all. Chris @faerywings sounds like you have a lot to do, but you've got this. Fake it til you make it - like you told me. I do that a lot and I also say, "It's Show Time" from one of my favorite movies "All That Jazz". Bob Fossee was a mess, but I love that phrase.

Linda @LSlycord good for you for getting so much sorted. I don't know about you but I will never be organized. I've given up on that.

Vicky @vickyday have fun with your friends today.

Trudy @taxed4ever I hope you hear from the dr today so you will know when your scan is.

Kay @BrightEyes I'm sure it's sad to have to say good-bye to the kids, but glad you had such a wonderful time with them.

I'm feeling a little bit better today, but not totally back yet. All the dogs came down last night too so we had a full house, as usual. Marley is hanging in there - we have NO idea why she has bounced back, but we'll take it. We'll take what we can get.

Have a good Monday.
XOXO

So glad to hear Marley is still hanging in there! Love does amazing things!

Yes, it does, Vicky. I'm not Catholic, but I bought her a St. Francis of Assisi medal (the patron saint of animals) and we took it to Tulsa and put it on her. We had a lab who had canine cancer years ago and the vet said there was nothing else he could do. He said to take him home and love him. I got a St. Francis medal for him and he lived several more years. God also works miracles for animals.

I agree! God cares about us and, therefore, cares for the creatures He gives us to love. Even those creatures He does not see fit to heal has/had a purpose in His divine plan! We may never understand or see the purpose this side of heaven, but all He asks is that we trust His plan for our lives! I pray His plan for Marley is to be healed!
