Weekends

 

This weekend is brought to you by two household pets and an elusive frog that posed ever so pretty for a photo while it was enjoying the abundant endless sunshine. 

How was your weekend?

Mine was packed full of household chores and tasks. It's too boring to list them but let's just be honest and say that checking off a long list is satisfying especially if you color code the list. The Great Declutter has taken a brief pause because my trunk is full of stuff and I have to get rid of that before I can load up again.

Excuses come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.


Yesterday was brilliant sunshine and over 80 degrees. On our daily walk, I was wishing for capris instead of jeans, I was overdressed. 

How was your weekend?

    My weekend was packed full of chores, too, but at least they are done (for a week or so). Today I get to start chores in MD but they are fewer. Yesterday was definitely a day for shorts; it was 88 down here!

    It sure did get warm yesterday, but was still a bit breezy here. I was fine in jeans (but I also wasn't real active - lol). My weekend was great. I hope to tackle some chores today, inbetween work stuff.

    My weekend was a mix of household chores, cross stitching and knitting. Oh, and both dogs got a bath, much to their chagrin.

    Look at those sweet babies and even the frog is adorable. At least you've paused because your trunk is packed. When I did my big deep clean and declutter in February I just piled everything out in my storage room, and yep it's still there. That room is going to be one of my summer 30 day challenges but I'm not looking forward to it. Have a fantastic week Karen!

    The great weather is bringing on severe allergies for me. I don't usually have seasonal allergies so I am a mess.

    My weekend included a trip to a local nursery where I was underdressed because it was cloudy and cool. Love the pet and frog photos.

    Having your trunk is full of stuff from the declutter doesn't sound like an excuse to me. It sounds like progress is being made. We have had some warmer weather too. I went through my closet. I have plenty of tops but I need some new capris and a pair of slacks for Spring. Frodo is such a handsome guy.

    Great shot of that frog!! We can really hear them the past few days. Decluttering is fantastic once done. I was so excited to have porch weather! IT was wonderful for 2 and a half days. I spent the weekend working hard to finish some gifts. We are going visiting and I had little things on many items . The cats were thrilled to be on the porch with moths on the screens!

    You were not alone in spending the weekend focusing on chores! I cleaned the house from top to bottom and it was SO satisfying to cross items off of my to-do list! : )

    I did wear shorts for the first time on Saturday ... that felt great ... and now it's rainy and chilly again and Holly is the perfect lap blanket :-)

    Your pup is so cute! :) Sounds like a busy weekend too! We had a long weekend here but it rained two of those days, so it was a quiet one mostly at home! thankfully on Monday we could get the kids out in the sunshine for a bike ride!


    Hope that your week is going well :)

    I spent this weekend in bed, going through the side effects of my second, Moderna shot. At least I didn't have to cook and got to eat yummy food from The Kebab Shop.

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

Hopefulness

Image
  Good morning! This week has been busy with classes and routine doctor appointments. The arthritis doctor has a few tricks up her sleeve for some of my dry mouth issues (from my autoimmune disease - Sjorgren's Syndrome) that make me feel hopeful. What was the most important thing during that doctor visit is that I felt seen and heard. I am thankful for her and her team. Speaking of hopefulness, look at my daffodils sprouting up! Some of the daffodils are just starting and some already have a head start. I love winter, but I'm looking forward to spring. The crocuses seem to be taking their time this year, as well as the snowdrops (unless those pesky deer have eaten them, grr). Even though I am still knitting my baby blanket, I have gathered four skeins of potential socks to be and am dreaming of a wonderful sock frenzy cast on.

New Year

  Good morning! How are you? Happy New Year, may this year be full of blessings to all of you. Well now, I finally have an empty home after having our son, daughter in law, grandson and granddaughter here for six nights.  I am still experiencing fatigue and symptoms from the virus even though I am feeling better. It was a challenge hosting family while recovering. Also we babysat the kids overnight (!!) while my son and daughter in law went for little getaway. I am thankful and grateful my Aunt came over both days to help out with the granddaughter who never sleeps during the day. (snack-naps do not count!). They all left early in the morning, and while I was tired, sleep deprived and fatigued, I put away Christmas plus all the toys and doodads you need for babies. Today I am looking at a squeaky clean house. I am planning on reading books and falling asleep while doing so! My exercise routine is on hold as I slowly get better. Maybe next week I can muster up some energy for some yoga
