Good morning...Waiting for my sister to get to turn on the water so i can get a quick shower. I went to take a bath yesterday and the faucet broke water wouldn't shut off. We had to shut off all water. Mom will call a plumber...after that happened I went to open a dresser drawer and it fell apart. A rough couple hours.

Work this morning..meeting this afternoon.

Good Morning...

Bethina not a good way to start a day or morning, try to find the humor in it all, laughing is better than crying, LOL

Have to get a move on this morning, a trip to Univ of MI hospital for a follow up visit after the flex sigmoid...going to leave earlier and do a bit of shopping at Bass Pro Shop, hubby needs some shorts for our upcoming trip...

So looks like lunch and dinner will be on the road today, and yesterday it was lunch on the road, which was Bellacino's and excellent place for pizza and grinders...

Tomorrow will be a free day except for visitation at the funeral home, I really do not like going for visitations I prefer to remember the person as alive not dead laying in coffin...I do not deal with death and dying well at all..during the time my Mother was dying I could not do what my sisters could, hold her, touch her face, hands, etc. I feel horrible about it but I just can't....the last memory I have of my Mom speaking is when I told her to let go she had been a wonderful Mom, gave her a kiss on the forehead and she said, "I tried". Love you Mom and she smiled...

Well enough sad 'stuff' onward and upward...still lots of coldness outside, only 22 this morning, old man winter wants the last word I guess..

Well guys and dolls, see you all tomorrow this girl needs to hit the shower....have a great day, find the positive in the negatives...smile instead of frowning, etc., etc...

Yesterday was a wasted day in the work department. Sierra unexpectedly showed up and there went that afternoon. Today I have to get a haircut so that means a trip home. Will stop at the bank and every time I go home Andrew wants me to stop and get some of that 'good bread'. It comes from a local bakery and the funny thing is the bread is actually called 'good bread'...that is it's name! Anyway, that will shoot today and tomorrow is Sierra's normal day to visit. This house is a total dirt pile so I had better find the time to clean and rugs need washed. Never did hang the new shower curtain. Time is just flying by in my life and I seem to always be doing something but yet nothing ever gets done. I must be a cartoon character that spins his wheels all day, accomplishes nothing and goes to bed exhausted! These late night hockey games aren't helping either. Did have a good talk with Sierra yesterday and she volunteered a lot of info. Was surprised when she came through the door. Andrew came home in a snit and he and his dad had it out. Sierra looked over and blinked 'never saw dad get mad before'. All he ever had to do was look at her and say Sierra Danielle and she died...this one is not so easy but I think he is beginning to learn he does not run this house....well, he does, but there are consequences if he over does it and last night was a big over play on his part. Kid has to learn. Sun is peeking out and it is finally going to warm up. Hope that was winter's last hurrah. Glad to see it go. Think I will make a pot of chili for supper so will need to stop at the grocery for a few items. Have to leave early for my haircut. Nothing new from here...same-o same-o.

Good Morning! The sun is trying to shine & there are snow flakes coming down slow & gentle....very pretty.

Yesterday was good. It felt good to feel good again. Dropped off the pie at the Dr's office and they had more sample insulin waiting for me to get me thru until the drug company gets the program going for me. I got some good deals yesterday though I found one of my good deals still sitting by the doorway this morning....the 3lbs of ground meat...grrrrrr!!! Of course a cat got into it and had a wonderful meal apparently. Anyways, at Aldi's they had their cream cheese down to $.85/pkg, so I picked up a case (24). I had bought 2 cases at Christmas time and they are already gone, so I'm stocking up again.

Came home and once I THOUGHT I had put away all the groceries, I mixed up 6 batches of icing for cookies. Yesterday I had to ice the shamrocks because I have to fill an order today. Corky came home hungry which he hasn't been in weeks and requested spinach tomato pasta w/alfredo sauce. I made that for him and I had got meatballs yesterday, so that's what Blaise had. I ate a little of both. Oh my was the clean up fun...NOT! I thought of Maxie as I was helping Blaise get all his homework done. Oh the tears. I declared that he isn't going back to school next year. RIGHT! I told him there is a price to pay for missing a day of school. Got his report card too. Same grades. I think he needs a writing tutor.

This morning is Bible study. One of the ladies there ordered a platter with 2 doz sugar cookie shamrocks & 2 doz Amish sugar cookies. I know I have to get the icing colored & ready for tomorrow morning. Sue is coming to ice sugar cookies with me. I know I have at least 25 doz to be done. Not sure what else I'll get into. Oh...don't mention cleaning. I hate cleaning. My pantry needs attention again. How's that happen?

Have a good one all!

Good Morning.

Hi beth! Hi Donna! Hi maxie! Hi Sharon!

More drama with John yesterday but not necessary to discuss it now. Everything seems to be OK today and that is a good thing.

Have a good day, Friends.

Good morning everyone..

Rise and shine..

I had morning chores..and making supper too..

[JoGee]

Good morning, everyone.
I'm packing up my collection of wine glasses to give to GD, and to one of my girls if she wants it. GD married a Jewish guy, and I know they have family and wine on their holidays. I haven't been able to drink anything with alcohol for some years now, so they're all useless to me. Wine with blood thinners can cause internal bleeding.

The string on the LR drapes has broken off, so E needs to repair that. The shades and vertical blinds I have all came from Sears. Their guy who put them up (or do I blame the product?) ....anyway, the valance bars fall off to easily, some blinds open from the left, others from the right (got them for every room)....and there's no reason for them all to differ. The cloth covered vertices, the cloth peeled off and I kept calling for them to fix it, and I got into an argument over that with the repair guy. I think he finally glued it or something. We got our microwave from them, too, and the guy didn't calibrate it....tired of arguing, I just figured out cooking times for the way they left it. But we no longer shop at Sears for anything, since then. I'm stuck with it. We are considering moving next year.
If it happens, I dread getting all new doctors again. I'm comfortable with the ones I've got.

Well, there's chores a'waiting. Time to get dressed and get busy. I've probably been reading too much. I've got 3 books (on kindle and iPad apps) 5that I'm reading. I promised E's friend to read his latest book (editing purposes), as did E, and report back to him on it. I've read 2 of his 3 published books, and enjoy his brand of humor.
However, I do need to get out of my chair and at least look busy! 😂

To you all, I hope your day turns out satisfying for you. ☀️️
Be happy!

Good morning.

I don't really know how good it can be when I mistakenly took my night meds this morning. So I figure I'll sleep most of the day , and won't take my meds tonight. That means tomorrow I'll be really shaky so little will get done tomorrow .

Wish you all a good day.

If your left hand doesn't know what your right hand is doing, you should consider running for a job in Washington, DC.
