i think its Thursday 10/23
 

Good morning chicks! Thought I would get us started since I have my coffee and omelet.
Nothing much going on here today. Need to take out the garbage, it will rain again, but tomorrow is Friday and the sun may come out.

What's on your agenda today?

I have to add more milk to my coffee, that's my biggest plan for the next five minutes :). I love your title, BTW!

In reality, time to get the kids up and get moving. Today is packed as always.

I hope it's Thursday, Beth. It's the last day of my work week and also Payday! Since I've been sick most of the week, it's been a very long one.

Ruth, thank God all the chaos in Ottawa has settled after the horrible tragedy yesterday, and I'm thankful that more people weren't hurt. Stay safe! :hug:

Good morning, Tammy, and I hope you fixed your coffee just right. ;)

It's another windy, rainy, day here. I'm just hoping to get through the day so I can get home and rest. I just can't seem to get my energy or appetite back!

Glad you're feeling better Cottage! Don't let that paycheck burn a hole in your pocket!

I KNOW it's Thursday and I am hoping for a "normal" day. I spent most of yesterday glued to the horrorshow news from Ottawa and did not sleep well last night. Really scarey stuff happening out there.

Today I need to get myself into high gear and get baking done or, at least, started for the quilting biddies sale on Saturday. I plan to get the cookie doughs made and will form them tomorrow. That's the plan anyhow - we'll see if it plays out.

I did make a great soup with some of the leeks and a lovely cauliflower yesterday. Recipe. I have been trying to cut back on carbs but really miss creamy and comforting soups when it's cold and wet and it seems to have been like that for a week around here. I have some turkey stock and meat in the freezer so will do something with that combo next week. I am going to give a couple of soup meals to my friend Anna who does not eat properly these days. (She's a wee bird of a woman who is 85 years young! Think 98 pounds, dyed red hair and sometimes insufferably perky! I want to be Anna when I grow up.)

OK - second coffee is gone and it's finally getting bright so I am outta here to lug the trash to the road.

Linda, I do hope you feel even better soon. Today's your Friday and I hope it's an easy day, not Fried-day.

Good morning

Beth I do hope the sun comes out tomorrow

Tammy. A packed day goes by quickly

Ruth. Whenever I want some creamy soup I drop in a lf laughing cow into it. It melts nicely

Linda. Relax this weekend and really get well

I'm going to my dd next Wednesday and staying for a week. She will have me doing yoga for sure. Besides being anxious to seeing my grandsons I will also meet the new doggie they adopted. He's 9 months old half golden lab, half terrier and 7 year old grandson insisted on calling him Scruff. He really looks scruffy. Off to make good use of my alone time. Dh went to put on new winter tires
take care
Sophie

Good morning,

The scale rewarded with me with another pound gone but I am still dealing with face rash now starting on my chin. I am going to cut out the apples and pears I added to my diet and just stick with the fruits I know do not cause me issues for my daily allowance. You would think eliminated sugar and processed junk would be cause for those types of issues. Sensitive skin issues...

Beth enjoy your day today

Tywnn hope you day goes by quickly

Cottage glad you are feeling better it does make for a long week when you don't

Ruth I was so sad to hear the news about Ottawa, so scary.

Today is wfh and several conference calls. DD2 has only 1/2 day of school and then tomorrow is off so it will be nice to see more of her while I work.

Have a great day everyone!

Good morning!

Pearlrose, sorry that you're still dealing with your rash. That's so aggravating. Good news on the scale though!

Waving to everyone else! We stayed out late with my roommate from college last night. She is in Denver for a conference. We had a nice Chinese dinner and I didn't overdo. I have to work tomorrow so I'm going to try to get the rest of the yard work done today.it's a balmy fall day here and I have a feeling we don't have too many of those left.

Have a great day everyone!

Hi Friends,
Just a very quick check in for me. Things seem calm but we are planning to go see my parents on Saturday and I'm extremely nervous. The only way I'll feel better after this visit is if they are willing to come up with some kind of plan or significant changes in recognition of what has been going on with them for the past 5 or so years. Otherwise I can feel the frustration rising inside.

Work is pretty quiet and I have some administrative tasks to get done, but otherwise we have a fun dinner planned in the city with a friend of my husband's who is visiting from Texas. Tomorrow we are going to a haunted house and then having dinner with friends. Some nice things to look forward to.

Hope everyone has a great day!
