Done-- Workout at gym as long as possible to delay...

Um, did half? Good enough! --Organize the office (still not unpacked and it is now storage)

Done and done! -- Eat healthy!

 

As a bonus we stopped at library, DH paid bills for us, and we arranged a service we needed.

Take a longish (2 miles?) walk - it's a beautiful day! My husband usually food shops on Saturday but he has to work, so I will stop at the supermarket on the way back for a few things. Much shorter walk than I would have liked - my daughter's boyfriend came for dinner so I had extra stuff to do!!

 

Clean the kitchen - especially the floor Done - actually threw out my kitchen floor mat so I would just have to buy a new one - everything I wash it, more stuff peels off the back...

 

Straighten up and vacuum Done -plus I dusted and my son dry swiffered the wood floors.  plus the bathroom is sparkling!

 

Spend about an hour figuring out Teen Coder so I can schedule it Decided to wait till my husband is home - I am a tech spaz and I am afraid to install it on my own! Planned out Health for next year instead!

 

Call my Dad Maybe later?

 

Call my sister Done!

 

I also read a bit (The Way We live Now - Trollope) and made two dinners (my 15yo daughter is allergic to pretty much everything and sometimes I just have to suck it up and make two dinners..sigh) and spent some time with my 21yo Googling the Royal Family of Luxembourg - fun girly time!!!

I've written this in the order I hope to do it in, but we'll see.....  

 

Garden centre to buy plants

Drop books at library

Finish planting and mulching - this is a lot bigger job than I planned!  Definitely a multi-day job, unfortunately :(

Finish cleaning dd's bathroom - my kids usually clean their own bathrooms, but everyone 2-3 months I go in there and give it a good scrubbin'

Laundry (youngest is coming back from camp today, so it will be stinky!)

DD to voice class

Errands to buy movie gift cards (gift from kids' grandmother) and a new Bona mop - I'm very excited about it!!  My wood floors are not looking too good, so I hope it will help...

Vacuum basement and mainfloor

Use my new mop
Admire my shiny floors

 

 

Unfortunately, there are a bazillion more things to do; Who knows if I'll get to them, and if I don't, they'll be waiting for me tomorrow ;)

 

 

ETA   Who knew the garden center wouldn't open until 8 on a Saturday?  I figured they'd be open at 7.  Oh well, at least dd's bathroom is clean.  Maybe I should start on the boys' bathroom.....

Good morning everyone!  It is a beautiful day here in our neck of the woods!

 

Company arrived sans luggage, heading to wal-mart for basics while we wait for it and a walk in clinc for her asthma meds, she only has enough for two days without her luggage.  It is so wonderful to have them here!

 

Picking up some kids at 10 for a day of role playing they've been looking forward to for a long time.

 

New iv med starts today that is supposed to really help detoxification and immune repair, praying it helps.

 

Just going to enjoy the day with friends and dh is home too for a change.

Went to see Earth to Echo.  Really liked it but got violently ill during the movie.  Tried to hide it by sneaking out and getting food (thought it was due to low bloodsugar) and was partly successful because I managed to stay for the movie and didn't ruin my family's day out.  Got even more violently ill in the car on the way home.  Thankfully dh was there to drive.  I am very wiped and my sugar appears to be out of control.  The family has gone out to eat but I can't manage to get out of bed right now.  The cat is happy and is keeping me company.

Ugh!  That's totally Ugh!  Like over the top completely Ugh!  Hope you are feeling much, much better very soon.  Like maybe in the next 5 minutes.  So sorry, Jean.  

 

At least you didn't get violently ill on someone else in the theater....:)

I was able to get down the hall to the bathroom and then I sat out on a bench in the hallway for awhile before trying to get some sugar into me.  I was super afraid that I was going to pass out in front everyone or throw up all over someone though.  I saved that last part for the car.   :glare:  :ack2:
