My, you are very busy. Happy Birthday to your dh! Just wanted to share with you, we made a tiramisu for a gal on a catering that was having an Italian theme for a rehearsel dinner for her son's wedding. She froze the tiramisu & scooped it up with a mini ice-cream scoop then dipped them in chocolate, they were absolutely delicious!
We just got back from shopping. Stirling's job just sent him a powerful PC and four flat screen monitors. This is for a "video wall". Stirling is mounting it all on plywood which will be mounted on the wall of his office, which is cinder block covered with wall board.
He needs brackets for the monitors. His job sent him some jury-rigged gizmos that aren't so hot. We looked for mounting brackets for a monitors. Yikes! A crappy one was $15. The demonstrator was stuck together and we couldn't get it apart. We wouldn't want that to happen while a monitor is mounted on the plywood. After that, they were ~$40 and up. Work isn't going to reimburse $160+ for this.
While we were at Reno Depot getting the right size and shape of screws, we found the perfect, small bracket. It was in use in the store. They don't sell them.

Wishing you a lovely sleep too Andy
It must be nice and cold there, nice to snuggle into bed
A heated mattress pad helps too.
Really enjoyed the heated seats in the Volvo on the way home from supper. We went for Indian for Stirling's birthday.

Here it is five a.m. and I have; cut up the veggies for the dressing and sauteed' them, cut up the bread and have it in the oven drying by the oven light, moved and cleaned all the appliances on my counter tops and scrubbed down the counters, removed some food and other stuff(?) from the fridge, wiped down a couple of the shelves, cleaned the stove top and scrubbed the drip pans, washed up a sinkfull of dirty dishes and pans, and finally made a pot of coffee and poured myself a cup. I still have to clean the floor and do laundry. But that can wait until tonight. I deserve a break today!
I needed to get these things done now. I have medical appointments Tuesday and Wednesday. I don't know why, but those appointments leave me exhausted. There is always a very short waiting time. And the appointments are non-invasive. Just check my vitals and ask me how I am feeling. So tomorrow I will get the dressing made. That is one of the reasons I cleaned the fridge out. I need the room.

Maybe Mom is expecting a very bad winiter.
Ever since I had the graft put on my leg, I can't stand to have anything touching it. So I have a very light fleece blanket and keep that leg outside of the blanket. If it gets cold, I just up the heat. I am so grateful that I don't have to pay for my heat.
