Putting my feet up after a very, very busy morning.

Did three loads of laundry of which two made it to the clothesline outside. Cleaned both bathrooms, vacuumed the whole house, wet mopped the bathrooms, along with the kitchen and utility room, made two baguettes for tonight's supper, made and assembled a big pan of lasagna (also for tonight), glued and clamped a part of some lattice outside that needed some repair, spray painted a three-person deacon's bench, ran the dishwasher and emptied it after it finished, folded and put away all the laundry except for our bed linens, which are still on the line.

Thought about making an apple pie for tonight's dessert but I've run out of gas and Glenn just returned from having a tooth pulled, so I don't think he's going to be too interested in much more than our entree, veggie and bread tonight for supper. The pie can wait until tomorrow when the agenda promises to be much lighter.
 
I'm on VACATION!!!!!!
Yay! Have fun.


Himself had a doctor's appointment in the morning! We are not morning people, and yet we were up, out the door, and early to the doctor's office. I wanted to go since this was his first time meeting this specialist. As a long-time diabetic with family history issues, our PCP watches over Himself like a hawk. So today we spent time, lots of time, with a doctor who seems more concerned with helping his clients get healthy rather than meeting a quota number per hour. What a breath of fresh air! So far, this is the second endocrinologist he's met with (his first moved out of the area), and they've both been attentive, helpful, and concerned. For what it's worth, I have trouble remembering "endocrinologist". When someone asks me what the doctor's specialty is, I always want to say "entomologist". :huh: Well, Himself does bug me sometimes. :LOL:
 
I'm up coughing for the third night in a row. I guess if it doesn't improve I will have to go to the clinic in the morning.

The good part of it is I can work on TB's blanket I am crocheting him for Christmas while he is sleeping. I had to rip it out for the third time so am very far behind on it. The pattern is totally wrong so now I am just doing it my way and I think it will look really nice. Same effect, just better!
 
I just picked today's harvest from the garden. We'll be having the green beans tonight and processing tomatoes and tomatillos for the freezer for winter meals.

Mammogram on Wednesday...

Had mine done this past Thursday, they want me come back again in April and they will try a new tool they have available, 3D Imaging... they said that the insurance will pay for all but a small premium cost out of pocket, YAY!

... but I digress, I just finished cleaning up after making and putting up Chunky Apple Sauce for my mom. I've got quite the stash of goodies now in the sideboard for her that we'll take out to her at Christmas.
 
I enjoy getting my Mammogram, so much so I plan it on my Birthday each year. Best thing I have ever bought for myself and it saved my life.

I'm glad it worked for you. Shortly after I met SO 15 years ago, her mamo found a problem. Fortunately, it was a relatively simple fix.

As unpleasant as the process is, it's an important one.
 
I have psoriasis. Have had it for more than 50 years. You get used to it. Learn to live with it and around it. The bad part is you can never know when a flare-up will occur. But the good part is you never know when a remission is in the making. I have seen a lot more fortunate than a lot of patients with it are. I have seen patients with it on their face, arms, neck, and legs. I have never had it in an area that is visible. For the past few years I have had it on part of my backside. Rather embarrassing when I get an itch. I have had it in the past on my elbows. A long sleeve blouse covers it up very nicely. But this past week I have been going into total remission. How long will it last? I have no idea. But I am grateful for any little bit of remission. Makes life a lot easier.

The funny part is that as a rule, as the weather gets colder, the flare-ups occur more. The sunlight is the best thing for it. Hard to get sunlight when you are bundled up to your ears. :angel:
 
We just got home from our eldest niece's second wedding. It was quite the adventure. First, when the plane was landing in Philly, we were given a lesson on grabbing our knees and bracing our heads, as "something" went wrong. We were all a jolly bunch, and laughed and giggled while we complied. DH and I talked to the flight attendent as we exited the plane, thinking we were part of a drill. Nope, it was an actual landing gear emergency. Then, rather than waiting for DH's brother's plane to arrive 3 hours later and drive us to the hotel, I hired a taxi. On one of the busiest highways in the US, 95, during rush hour, the taxi died five times. The driver had to try to restart it. Took at least three key turns each time. We made it though, and nobody croaked. Taxi driver did give us each a bottle of water and peanut butter crackers. I need to revisit Lady Clairol.

I have no idea. To borrow a quote from PF, "Bring me my brown pants."

He actually came in under his original quote. I showed him the hotel address before we got in, and he looked it up on his GPS.
