Susan in TN Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 (edited) I have fabulous "hotel hair" once again. Alas, it will soon be gone. (We have hard water here - no water softener - and my hair is normally dull and mousy and frizzy. But when we stay at a hotel or anywhere with a water softener, I have fabulous hair at least for a little while. 😁) Edited December 29, 2020 by Susan in TN 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I've learned in 20 years is coat, hat, gloves, and rubber boots. Wool socks... Now that's just plumb genius! Wool socks are the BEST! I wear them hiking in the summer heat, and I wear them hiking in the freezing snow. They are ridiculously expensive, but so fabulous! I even have a couple pairs of wool blend compression socks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I have requested that everyone go to bed as soon as possible. I need to fill Christmas stockings. Plus we have been together in close quarters for 2 days. Chester was so excited to be home, he was nearly dancing. Which reminds me of a wonderful dog story. My sister's dog, Lizzy, grew up living with her family at grandma and grandpa's house. She puffy heart loves grandma! They eventually moved across the country and didn't see grandma for over a year. When grandma came to visit, Lizzy was barking at the doorbell, but when she saw who it was, she started crying and crying from sheer happiness. ❤️ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 16 hours ago, Junie said: Good Morning! Happy Tuesday! Not sure what I'm going to get accomplished today. My left wrist has been giving me grief and it makes it hard to do things. I am able to make pretty good choices regarding stop/push when my ankles, feet, or knees are hurting, but I'm not sure where the stop/push point is when it's my wrist, hands, or shoulders. Xena was ready to throw in her loin cloth tonight before getting her step goal or the tiny vacuuming goal that she has set. But then she had a small snack and was able to finish- not strong but at least finish. Xena isn't very good at throwing in her loin cloth. . . I probably won't sleep well tonight due to pain but I was already at that point prior to that so I might as well have something to show for it. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I think I am going to start taking my Singulair in the morning instead of at night and see if it helps with the psychedelic dreams. I had a horrible cough since May. Finally in September I saw the allergist about it. She ran tons of tests, no avail. Finally I mentioned it to my GP and she started me on Singulair. Within a week it was gone. Except now I have psychedelic dreams, which is a not very common side effect of Singulair. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Morning. Have a bloody nose that won't quit this morning. My allergies have been acting up with the screwy weather, plus very dry air in our bedroom and I'm sure that's the reason. Today's agenda - stop at the science center to pick up some stuff to go into storage, my mom's to pick up a Christmas gift that came in, go work on my storage unit for an hour or so, home to work on classes. Today isn't going to be bad, just cloudy, but the rest of the week is going to be rainy so I want to get the storage unit done.

Susan in TN Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I would really like someone to come to my house and help me figure out what to do with my living room. We are ready to replace the sofa/loveseat/chair, light fixture (ceiling fan), and area rug. And probably the side table and wall art. We want to keep the coffee table, bookshelf, curtains, and wall color (sort of a sage green). Can you hire people to do this, or does that only happen on TV shows? I have been putzing around all day. Kinda wrote the Christmas letter, but will have to go back and edit later. I am avoiding the Project that Must Be Done. I.E., cleaning out and organizing my bathroom cabinet and drawers. Alright alright I will go already. Ready, Set, GO! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 5 hours later than we wanted to because our car, which should have been finished at the tire place yesterday afternoon won’t be finished till tomorrow. Hmph. So, we rented a Dodge Grand Caravan. We wanted to leave around 7:00am. Ended up leaving at 12:30pm. But, it was a good drive, traffic was pretty heavy driving through the desert in Southeastern California, but DH is a good driver. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must go to Aldi and get foods and supplies and probably to Kroger for a couple things that Aldi doesn't carry. Our NYE tradition is to eat a bunch of appetizers/junk food and play games and watch movies. So that's what we're doing. If it stops raining we might go on a hike tomorrow.

Wheres Toto Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Morning. Dh went out grocery shopping this morning, so we are all stocked up. When he mentioned it yesterday I told him he was nuts to go grocery shopping on New Year's Eve. But he went super early and was back long before I got up around 9am, so it wasn't bad. Lobster and shrimp were on sale so I think we're having seafood for dinner tonight. This is why I don't miss eating out, dh is an amazing cook and can cook just about anything. Today is going to be exactly the same as yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. Although there is some comfort in familiarity these days. I do have to put away some laundry, but other than that it's science center and classes. Our new siding is here! They are outside delivering it right now. The date was changed about 7 times so we were wondering if it was ever going to get here. Can't put it on until it warms up, but at least its here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
