What are you doing this weekend?
 

Hello,

How are you and what are your plans this weekend?
Any news?

-->Today was the first day of my vegetarian gluten free diet.
I feel better without the gluten.

-->I see a whole lot of housecleaning having to happen this weekend.

Good luck with your diet, I hope you feel better following it.
I have a house here that needs cleaning
desperately when you are finished.:rolleyes:
just got back from a light opera....put on by the university department.
tomorrow is a local theater putting on Dracula!
I made a beef stew that was in the crock pot all day, turnip greens and carrots and celery and onions, cream of mushroom soup and a packet of onion soup mix. jeff liked it. halloween decorations jeff is working on them now and will take all weekend to put up and away in the attic again. It is a lot of work.
I see paper work in my future as well as some laundry.
nice sunny weekend I think.
thinking of the east coast and am sending good thoughts for a speedy return to normalcy.

I'm running my niece to work later today...

I woke up and it was sleeting... boohoo. Soo not ready for that kind of weather.

Supposed to go out for dinner on Sunday but we'll have to see how I feel...I got a flu shot yesterday an boy does my arm hurt today.

Oh well...
Sorry for whining.

Hi, Abbie,
Sleet is not fun. :confused:

I hope that your arm feels better and that you enjoy your dinner on Sunday.:)

It's good this morning to hear of ya'll in this NT 'neighborhood' !

Bizi,I too cooked a crockpot for the weekend --- 15-bean soup --- and fresh greens from the garden to prepare & cook in the crockpot today. I do enjoy all the hardy 'winter greens' --- they just take so l-o-n-g time to 'stem' & shred. Hopefully I'll enjoy sitting outside to do it a little bunch at a time. It's a lovely day outdoors.

I am also petsitting this weekend for friends, two little maltese-mix guys who are best buddies. Yesterday we enjoyed walking the old baywalk, shaded by giant hundred-years old live oaks with spanish moss hanging, magnolia, and my favorite, white ginger lilies are still fragrant with blooms.

To ease myself into tonight's time change, I've already set my clocks back yesterday! --- ;) So the lil guys & I have taken a cup of tea back to bed, to check in here on ya'll this morning.

Theta ;)

theta, your white ginger lillies are still blooming? wow! we don't have anything blooming right now. camilias will come in the winter....high today will be 85.
sorry for the sleet abbie!
we go from turning on our heater at night to turning on the air during the day....crazy fall weather.

weekend, OH MY.....
 

Well, it isn't fun. I have termites, and have to have the house tented. All food has to be wrapped up, anything that you consume, or put into your body. This is a royal pain in the ****. I don't have a choice if I want to keep my attic! Anyone had to do this before? Thats what I get for living in Florida. ginnie:(:hug:

Hi, Ginnie,

Yes. I had to pack up stuff and move out for two or three nice when I was renting a room in a house. I remember putting lots of things in garbage bags, leaving somethings in the fridge (because it is air tight) and carrying important things with me like meds and toiletries that I felt were important.
I probably took all my meds with me -- not just the ones I needed for the overnights.

Hi mari
 

Yep. toothpaste, vitamines, cat, food and sanity, all packed up, getting ready. Bob Dawson had a good post about a caregivers group. She did the prayer. It did a lot to restore my sense of humor. I needed the laugh today. Scheduled for next week. This one is a 4 day trip away from the house. I also have massive plantings in the yard, and a deck, which has to be cleared. Deck too has to be covered. We didn't swarm in the house, it was up in the attic, and a real surprise. Went up there for something, and was met with one heck of a flying zoo. Keep in touch Mari, thanks for response. I just didn't need another trouble on the plate. You know what that is like....take care of yourself, and let me know how you are doing. ginnie:hug:

bizi, yes, still blooming though less than 'prime' since the coldfront moved in last Saturday & kept temps chilly/windy a few days. Same here as there now with crazy mid-80s days in November!. :( I do love the winters DownHere.

abbie & all up there in the NE, hope that ya'll are staying comfy.
