Tackling Saturday Together?

[ScoutTN]

It’s gray and coldish here. I’ve dropped off Dd for her day trip and have the house to myself til dinnertime. I’ve had a good b’fast and coffee. 

Make Valentine cookies ✔️ 
Bake bread ✔️ 
Catch up on some videos
Possibly do some financial stuff on the computer?
Read!
Make chx pot pie for dinner - Dd’s request ✔️ 
Shower

Probably should do some housework because I want clean bathrooms and tomorrow is busy with church, Valentine visits to my mom and mil, and the SB. Downside of no kids at home - no chores get done unless I do them. 😉

Good morning, all!  It is hot here today (sorry for the cold and dreary for others).  It's supposed to be 87 today?  I can handle high 70s, but this kind of heat in February is just too much.

To do today:

• coffee (a prolific amount)
• feed dog
• clean bathrooms
• vacuum bedroom, quick swiffer mop of floors
• quick run to Target for laundry stuff
• window visit with my mom (I'm now limited to five minutes)
• some self care (face mask, hand treatment, hair conditioner)
• organize my reading list for 52 week challenge, post
• dinner is hamburger patties, green beans, keto biscuits
• read, relax with some decaf chai tea

Have a great day!

Happy weekend!!  I have so many things I want to do.  We'll see how it goes.

Done:

• Sent out some work in the wee hours.  Then caught up on personal emails/social media to wind down.
• Slept in, yay!  (Though I woke in a half panic at 7:40 thinking I failed to get my kids up for 7:50 school ....)
• Tried several times to wake my kid for her Saturday morning stuff.  She had her door locked and was not on board.
• Finally drove kid to horse riding about 10:30am.
• Some minor outdoor / physical tasks - pup stuff and other.
• Some dish washing.
• Made arrangements for pup trainer to come tomorrow when our maids are scheduled to come.  Hopefully he will help train better behavior with guests, and also reliably staying in the yard without a tether (with electric fence).  [This trainer and my pup know each other already.]
• Made arrangements for pup to go for a sleepover at the Dog Whisperer's next weekend, and for DW to take 2 dog crates we don't need here.
• Picked up kid from horse riding.
• With both kids in the car, did some mom talk about health and other growing-up things.
• Ate fruit.

To do:

• Chip away at my client work.
• Make appointment for my car maintenance.
• Pay bills.
• Try 2 health calls, hope they go through on weekends.
• "Yoga etc."
• Reading.
• Meet with my kids about forms for summer jobs, volunteer reporting, and school things.
• Would like to catch up on online church, but we'll see.
• Lots of cleaning for tomorrow's visitors.  Get the kids to do some cleaning in between pup and school stuff.
• Try to do all the laundry.
• Dinner has been ordered in.
• Whatever else gets done.

My husband let me sleep... until 11. LoL!

I got up and went straight to work. Did a few hours of contract work, showered, and have been in the kitchen since. Have a full Thanksgiving dinner cooking, the pie cooling, 2 loaves banana nut bread with chocolate chips ready for breakfast next 2 days, and a huge pot of chili ready for a SB party tomorrow. No cooking til Tuesday!

Chx pot pie done!

Made a grocery list and will get a few things quickly on the way to pick up Dd. 

I did not tackle any projects today and still have deskwork to do. But my house is tidy and I am glad to have baked and cooked. 

Getting lonesome. Ready for my family to be home.

Well ... I spent most of the day sleeping / lying in bed.  Now it's about 3am and I'm up.  😕

Needless to say, my to-do list didn't get done.  I did make those two health phone calls ... one's voice mail message said no new patients and the waiting list is full.  The other one said I'll get back to you Monday.

I started making an appointment online for my car, then realized I'll have to go back to my car and turn it on in order to remember what service I need.  Didn't have the gumption to go do that.

I did take the pup out a couple times.  My yard had been covered in snow, but now the snow is all ice.  Really interesting to navigate the hill.  So far I haven't fallen this week.

My kids were supposed to come talk to me at 5pm, but they didn't, and I didn't have the energy to force the matter.

Sunday is gonna be a busy day, starting with all the house cleaning and laundry we didn't do Saturday.
