Ellie Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Cleaned about half of my office today. I love a clean desk. Tomorrow--or at any rate, soon--I will tackle Mr. Ellie's side of the office. Which will mean cleaning the closet, because we use it for storing of office supplies and whatnot, and lots of his stuff will go in there. Also, we have a bookcase that will need to be purged and the remaining books boxed until after the foundation repair and floor replacement and wall painting. And all the computer stuff that's on my desk will need to be removed and boxed or something, because the desk is attached to the wall, and will have to come apart because foundation repair and floor replacement and wall painting oh my. o_0 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hi! I had two doctors appointments in The Big City. One appointment was this morning. One was scheduled for 4 pm in the same building. I was prepared to stay all day, but after my first appointment the receptionist said that she would talk to my second doctor about getting in sooner. She came back 5 minutes later and told me which room to go to -- and the doctor was waiting for me! What a blessing! I had been a bit worried about driving home safely since I usually take an afternoon nap. Because of getting seen early, I was home by my usual naptime! I got good reports from both doctors (the rheumatologist and the neurologist). 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make my kids wear wool socks and heavier rain jackets. I wait out there with them...but no coddling with a drop off in a warm van, iykwim.

Jean in Newcastle Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Today is cold rain here. I am feeling guilty about putting my baby (ie. Juliet) out in it. Except that she doesn't mind and has lots of places where she can stay dry. My other babies (the old disabled dog, the cat and the bunnies all stay dry and warm inside but they don't have the same potty and exercise needs that Juliet has.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mama25angels Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Well, I actually had a good appointment with my counselor today, I guess I'll go for a bit longer and see if it keeps up before firing her. I did get a chance to vote and we're finishing up the day now. Guys, I'm so excited that this week has been really good and productive, not just school wise, I've been getting a few things done around the house too.
