We have an electric dryer.  Works great, no odor .  Dries a large load of towels in 30-35 mins.  Natural gas is not available around here so if you wanted a gas dryer it would have to be propane…an expensive way to dry wash…

Good Morning to everyone!!  I really don't have a thing to say this morning!  It is very still outside, very gloomy!!  I'm hoping one of the girls will show up today, hard to say, they are so busy!!  Well, I hope you all have some fun thing to do today.  I'm off to watch TV, nothing else to do today.  Have a wonderful day, everyone, BJ.

SORRY MARY LOU. GLAD IT WENT WELL. ENJOY TIME WITH YOUR DAUGHTER.

Weather mild this week but going to change this weekend.

THINK SOMETHING ELSE TO COMMENT ON, BUT NOT COMMING TO MY MIND RIGHT NOW. HATE THESE SENIOR MOMENTS.

TS and Ps.......

Evening y'all! 

Been doing Probate stuff all day.  Had to get an EIN number.  Easy to get, just went online, applied and got it!  Finally something easy! 

Got forms from Probate Court to list assets etc.  Couldn't find it online.  After seeing the title, no wonder we couldn't find it!  

Once I got home I was exhausted and just laid on the couch.  Took my blood sugar before supper and it was low.  Apparently the whole process is messing with my sugar.  Todd even told me when I got home to just go sit on the couch!  I even listened.  What a radical idea! 

Need to go chill some more.  I am just whipped!  Later my Friends! 

GOOD MORNING!

CALLING FOR RAIN LAYER TODAY. WE NEED IT.

STILL WORKING ON PUTTING CHRISTMAS AWAY. I KNOW SLOW ABOUT DOING IT.


DARRELL'S NIECE  AND HUBBY COMING FOR A VISIT TOMORROW. LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. GETS ME IN MOTION TO DO SOME THINGS. TO MAKER THE HOUSE LOOK BETTER.. GUESS I WORK BETTER UNDER PRESSURE. WISH BECKY NOT SICK SO COULD HAVE HER HELP. STILL A LOT TO DO HERE.

NEED TO GET GOING ON MY DAY.

THINKING OF EVERYONE. PRAYERS.................

STOP THE PRESSES!.....
A MAN WAS ARRESTED ON CHARGES OF DISORDERLY CONDUCT AFTER HE WAS FOUND NUDE IN A CAR AT A HOTEL PARKING LOT.  A WOMAN STAYING AT THE HOTEL SAID A MAN, WEARING ONLY A T-SHIRT, CONFRONTED HER NEAR HER ROOM.  THE WOMAN TOLD POLICE SHE CHASED THE MAN, BUT HE ESCAPED.

ANOTHER LOVELY SUNSHINY DAY IN THE 40S.  LOVE IT.

I MADE THE CHICKEN VEGGIE NOODLE CASSY AND SHARED WITH 4 THAT NEEDED A MEAL.  I STILL HAVE ENOUGH FOR LEFTOVERS FOR TODAY. IT WAS A NEW RECIPE FOR ME, AND WAS VERY GOOD EXCEPT THERE WERE LOTS OF DISHES AND POTS WHEN I WAS FINISHED.  BOTH THE CHICKEN AND THE NOODLES HAD TO BE PRE-COOKED.  I HAD A SINKFUL TO WASH AFTER SUPPER.

FOR SUPPER TONITE I THINK I WILL MAKE A SMALL MEATLOAF (1 LB) AND MAKE SOME POTATO SALAD TO GO WITH IT.  A NEIGHBOR FELL YESTERDAY AND HURT HER LEG SO I WILL SEND HER A MEAL SO SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO STAND AT THE STOVE TO COOK TODAY.
SHE GOT SOME CASSY LAST NITE TOO.

I AM INTO THE BOOK FROM THE LIBRARY AND IT IS SOOO GOOD I HATE TO PUT IT DOWN.  I AM LEARNING SO MUCH ABOUT THE THOROUGHBRED RACING HORSES.  BUT NEEDS MUST, SO THERE IS A BIT TO FINISH AND I WILL GO TO THE COMMON ROOM SO I AM NOT TEMPTED TO CLEAN OR DO ANYTHING IN MY APT.  THAT WAY I AM SURE TO FINISH IT
OTHER THAN THAT, I DID MY LAPS AND I WILL VACUUM TODAY.  MAYBE TAKE OUT THE TRASH, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT FOR MY CHORES.

STAY SAFE.  HUGS, QB S

Wow, where is everyone this afternoon? I got labs drawn this morning, then we came home and had lunch. My new favorite thing is scrambled egg tacos. Scrambled eggs, bacon on a flour tortilla. Hidden Valley has a spicy ranch that has a bit of a kick to it, so I spread that on the taco. For dinner he had some of the waffle and sausage dish, and I had spinach salad. 

I finished the scrapghan last night, pix on my blog. Tonight I started Baby Boone’s temperature snake. I’m making the head a pale yellow, and using an F/5 or 3.75 mm hook. I’ll embroider the eyes on this one, since she’s a baby and I don’t want her chewing on the safety eyes. 

we’re getting rain tonight and tomorrow. Better than snow! 

There are tissues in a round container- think grated cheese or Pringles- that fit in the console of a car. I sent each of my girls a 4 pack, because I think they are so cute. 

Sandra, it’s so good that you follow a routine, I have a loose one also. 

Devonne, sounds like the flooring is going in well! Yay! 

Back to the snake!

DEVONNE sounds like it's gong well, you will be so glad to have it finished, will they finish today or have to return?

SANDRA you would not have liked the last few days here, it's after 8pm and still close to 100, going to better later, we are expecting a 'southerly buster' in another few hours and the temp  will drop at least 25 deg. It got to 100 last couple days and this morning at training it was over 80 - yikes!!!
So good of you to share, and keep that recipe, you will have need of it in the next little
while with your excess chicken

HOLLY thanks for the recipe, and your afghan is pretty I haven't seen those tissues, we just have the small packs you can fit in your purse. I buy boxes for the house, but we always have a big supply of the little ones.

CHERYL Sounds like Chinese is a favourite with yours too!! Too bad that there is no food at "mum'" that's awful, does she expect you to supply it all?? OH NO on the dental appt, mine is pretty easy to get into, but I do make the appt 6 months in advance, got a new electirc toothbrush, and it seems to be helping.

STRINGS so glad it's all still OK at your home, even if not quite to your expectations. Be kind to yourself, it will get done eventually.

I haven't done much today, we had a coffee meeting after training, 10 of us went, I had a strawberry protein smoothie, it was too hot for coffee - or food LOL I have made up for it since though.

 I made my peach slice, easy recipe, but I had to buy canned fruit and packet cake mix, it's so quick, I had sour cream to use up, so of course instead of throwing that out I bought extra things to make the slice, I had butter and coconut

They just had a piece and it's pretty good. I am waiting for the wind to blow some cold air at us, I can open the house right up and cool it off. The a/c was on last few nights till 3am to keep it cool enough to sleep, then back on again by 10am.

A bit of drama for Dean today he met friends and they went to a local swimming centre, there was an ambulance called, they evacuated the pool complex, he saw the person and told Megan she was dead - he thought so anyway, it's in the paper tonight and she's critical, horrible for him to see, he said she was blue and didn't seem to be breathing. 60 yr old woman, so sad, we have had so many deaths so early in the new year, I think it's up to 8 now. Most at the beach, but some in pools too.
 

Trish, what a scary thing for Dean to see. I hope the lady is going to be ok.

The installers will be back today. They have a little more tile to get up in the master bathroom and install all the quarter round (some call it shoe moulding). The master bath and my closet is the only flooring that isn't done. I made the right choices with the color and the size planks. I went with 6x48, but most people prefer the 9x72. The smaller size looks more traditional. It looks like I just moved in. I'm tired and haven't done anything, lol. No tv last night because everything is unplugged and I couldn't find the Roku box for the bedroom tv.

Linda, you made a lot of progress. I am not putting all this "stuff" back into my closets. It will go to my car and to the local thrift store.

Cheryl, congratulations on the new washer and dryer. I hope it will last you 30 years! I'll be getting a new dryer this year and hopefully it will last me until I go to my other home, lol. What brand did you go with?

It rained all day yesterday and raining today too. They put the old carpet in the garage until the rain stops. I was embarrassed at how nasty it was. Molly had kidney disease & she peed more on the carpet than I realized. So glad it is gone. I'll need to find me a comfortable pair of shoes. Walking on these hard floors won't be good for my bad feet.

Master bedroom.....before and after. Going to be so much easier on my bad back to clean. My carpet shampooer is gone out the door!
