Alessandra Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Got back from a mini vacation over the long weekend. Driveway was covered in slushy snow, easy to scoop up. Today will be in 50's, warmest temp in quite a while. Dd and I went antiquing over the weekend (yes, again). We were in a town that is a Mecca for antiques, but $$$. (Since I began going to auctions regularly, I have got quite picky about prices.) No purchases, but took a lot of photos of nicely framed pictures, ideas for my own framing. Then, on the way home, we drove through another town. Dd spied an old house with a glassed in porch that had windows lined with china and a small Antiques sign. I slammed on the brakes and turned into the little parking area. Oh, my! The place was crammed full of things at very low prices, which owner promptly discounted. We found, not one, but two framed needleworks for dd's room, one a sampler. And I wished that I had an empty wall -- there was a fair bit of blue and white transferware with American Revolution scenes, Washington crossing the Delaware, Paul Revere's ride, and so is on. Alas, I have no place to display that sort of thing.... Today is just stuff around the house. I did multiple loads of laundry when we got home yesterday, so that is finished and put away. ETA Buy some healthy fish and veggies for dinner. I miss my own cooking! Edited February 20, 2018 by Alessandra 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Good morning! I was up almost all night, so I tried to sneak a morning nap after sending the girls off to school. Managed to get 2 hours in before I was woken for a conference call. :P I don't have much exciting to talk about today. Just work. And figuring out my kids' Friday afternoon arrangements now that bowling season has started. Hmm, if I get any time home alone, I should try the art project I am planning to do with the scouts on Thursday. I have never done this sort of thing and have no idea of the right way to make colored sand designs stick to a surface. I might be asking about it on the chat board if my initial attempts don't work. :P 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Just got back from taking Buttercup to the vet. She's much improved since last week and is pretty much back to being her feisty little self. However, the vets are concerned about a lipoma on her throat that has been growing and could potentially put pressure on her trachea, nerves and carotid artery. They recommended that it be removed and had time in their schedule to do the surgery today, so I left her there and will pick her up at the end of the day. There is so much flooding throughout our county - it's just awful. Many roads are underwater and lots of building damage, etc., and the rain is supposed to continue for another 12 hours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to like your post, except for the flooding and Buttercup. Is the flooding due to rain only, or are there waterways nearby? It sounds awful. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It is such a relief to eat our own food. We had a late breakfast of scallion and fresh herb omlettes, made from good poultry farm eggs, and perfectly ripe TJ avocados, sliced, but unadorned. I feel so full and healthy. This last weekend we ate the free hotel breakfast. I have no idea what is in hot table scrambled eggs, but they left me feeling bloated and hungry at the same time. And I had to drink multiple glasses of OJ to wash down the sodium laden sausage patties and home fries. Which makes me crave salty junk food. Vicious circle. I never used to mind this stuff, but since we have moved to a more healthy diet, the difference is shocking. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I was going to like your post, except for the flooding and Buttercup. Is the flooding due to rain only, or are there waterways nearby? It sounds awful. It's both. We have lots of creeks and rivers and we've gotten continual heavy rain for two days. Plus, there was about a foot of snow on the ground that has melted and added to the flooding. It's also very hilly here, so water has been rushing down off the hills. I'm very thankful that our house is high up on a ridge, so no flood worries for us. I just hope the roads into town will stay open so I can pick Buttercup up later this afternoon. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Selkie, I hope Buttercup is doing better! Alessandra, isn't it amazing what that type of eating does to you? I am always amazed after a round of Whole30, that first meal out. I feel so disgusting and bloated, and then am up half the night because of who knows what additives and stuff. Ok, enough procrastinating. Off to start my workout. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a relative in Houston who has always escaped flooding because she lives in a high area -- in Houston that means only a few inches higher, but it makes all the difference. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Made a quick trip to the library. Made dd unhappy by reminding her that she has a paper due and I need to see some actual progress on it. I'm tired and can't think straight. OK - kitchen - handwashing and wiping down counters. Ready. . . set. . . go! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, enough procrastinating. Off to start my workout. Exactly! I was starved the entire weekend, finished the Bagged salmon, apples, and other items I brought, then moved on to Doritos and peanut m & ms. Ugh! Even healthy sounding things simply have more salt and carbs than I am used to now. It's amazing how satisfying 'real' food is, even when it is not at all fancy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Just heard from the vet and Buttercup's surgery went well. :) He said it's good we did the surgery today because the lipoma had already started to encircle her trachea.
