So lovely to sleep in my own bed, drink my coffee in my jammies, enjoy my devotional time in my comfy chair, and not have to talk to anyone for the first hour of the day!

Call the vet to make an appt for nail trim. ✔️ Woohoo, just nail trim and Rx; I had the date wrong for his check up. 

Meal planning. Ish…
Grocery ✔️ 

PT exercises
Walk ✔️ 

Dinner is something easy from Costco. ✔️

Good morning!! Got home from visiting my dad early yesterday evening. I think he will probably be going back to the care facility on Saturday. We shall see. He is on supplemental oxygen and getting breathing treatments. Today they will aspirate a pocket of fluid from his left side. If he continues to hold his own, I will stay home until Monday. Today's plan:

Bible and prayer

Kindle book

hand wash some delicates-done

[TheReader]

fencing stuff is out of the dryer

fencing equipment is packed into the golf bag and loaded into the hard case for safety while flying

wool stuff is in the dryer

need to see what suitcase we are using and get that going

[ScoutTN]

Ordered a new bluetooth adapter for my car.

Did the Wordle and Connections.

 

[LifeLovePassion]

I woke up and checked blood sugar for a fasting number... It was at the high end of normal but I have also been running an a temperature so hopefully that is the reason. I will keep monitoring it. I don't really need another problem, but maybe it's a good kick in the pants to get active and eat healthy. 

Still don't feel great, getting some things done this morning though. 

[TheReader]

Clothes "packed" (waiting on DH to pick a suitcase)

 

[Ottakee]

This morning I felt like I have gotten nothing done….so Iade a list.

by noon I had:

done my Bible recap

driven 30 minutes away and attended a fitness class

signed papers for a lawyer in WV for estate stuff

picked up a wheelchair ramp and support from my brothers house

dropped off paperwork to the doctor to be filled out

turned in my daughters application for special needs housing 

mowed the lawn

cleaned the fridge

called social security about 2 different issues/people

did a load of laundry 

filled out caregiver attestation forms for the state

updated my log in for above state program

checked on my daughter with a rash

———-

guess I am doing OK

[ScoutTN]

Ate lunch and put some of the Costco food into the oven.

Tidied the fridge, which desperately needs a deep clean, and put away food.

Continuing to add things to the grocery list, keeping in mind that Ds will be gone for 5 days next week. 

Blouse from Costco is too big.

Started on computer work. Culling my inbox, making progress. My new work email login doesn’t work. 😠

@Ottakee You are scorchin’ it! 

[TheReader]

Packed 

car is mostly loaded - I need to evaluate the kids' bag, add toiletries, and see if we need an extra piece of luggage or not. We fly Southwest (thank goodness!) b/c of free checked bags - between the 4 of us, we're allowed 8; right now we have 5 (2 of those are fencing gear, and 1 is an empty fencing bag), so if we need to add one more we'll still be fine. 

Stuff is ready for the rabbit. 

Need to look at my list, see what's left to do, then do it. 

[HomeAgain]

Things I have already done today:

• ALL THE CAMP LAUNDRY
• coffee
• meal planned
• grocery shopped for the next few days
• took ds's skates to the sports store
• realized I'm on a way too familiar basis with the store when they called to let me know I left his new laces there.
• picked up supplies for ds's teachers next year
• paid the mortgage

Things to do:

• organize the cookbook binders that have gotten out of sorts
• 10,000 steps
• watch tape with ds from his camp
• wonder why he left with 10 pairs of socks and came home with a single sock other than the filthy pair on his feet.
• backyard fire tonight?  Maybe

DS came home from camp yesterday, absolutely exhausted.  He was not thrilled about his report card, either. They gave him high marks and he disagreed.  Whatever, kiddo. 

[ScoutTN]

Kicked Ds off the computer and made him do laundry, deal with lax gear etc.

Made fingerprinting appt.

Can’t do work onboarding bc I can’t login to work email. Emailed about it; no reply yet.

Moving on to YNAB.

@Ottakee, welcome to the tackle thread! You are definitely doing okay! Do you like the Bible Recap? I keep seeing it mentioned in various places but have never looked into it. 

We went to Atlanta today. We went to Atlantic Station for shopping and food, and then we went to IKEA.  It was a hot but beautiful day. The drive home was longer than the one in because of afternoon traffic. 

I will cook dinner soon. 

 

[ScoutTN]

Groceries are put away and some kitchen organizing and cleaning done. 

Moved the laundry

and I’m done tackling for today!

Gonna eat dinner and relax.

This is my second time with the Bible Recap.  I do enjoy it.  I do the audio version where I generally listen to the Bible reading in the morning during my commute and then the podcast after that or later in the day.  I don’t always agree with her interpretations but she is very honest about how some things are interpreted differently and often provides several views.

[ScoutTN]

Listening to Harry Potter audiobook. 

[ScoutTN]

Started a load of laundry and the dishwasher. Doing some cleaning while listening to HP. 
 

Made a list for tomorrow.

Ds ate dinner and talked with us for over 2 hours, so I was in momma heaven! He'll be a senior this coming year, so this will most likely be his last summer home. I'm trying to appreciate every moment I can. He moves off campus next year into a house, so he probably won't come home during his breaks as much.

I tied some in the kitchen but I need to do more. Ds is taking a shower, so I'll hold off on doing more for now. 

Off to watch something...
