today i got my taxes into the tax hor and visited aunt edna for a couple hours. made edna happy, good day.
the daily show and tell thread. lol
My failure of the day was not going out for milk before 9 am, when the snow started. Now I will have to trek though 14 inches tomorrow.
The dentist called early to cancel my appt. That made me happy.
My accomplishments were a deep cleaning of Mom's room, and cooking a great snowy night dinner of beef tips in gravy over rice, with green beans, and biscuits, with a home made cherry vanilla cheese cake for dessert.
Best news of the day......Momma had a very happy day and laughed and made me laugh more than a few times.
The funniest was when she, after half a can, mind you, looked into her beer (in a white white plastic cup) saw the foam, and yelled....WHY ARE YOU GIVING ME MILK???WE ARE LOW ON MILK!!!!
Um, Mom........and the look......took her a minute but when she got it she busted a gut.
Haven't accomplished much today except spending all morning on this site.
No that's not true I found a great site where you can download free clip art and another one for living out of your pantry. Some great frugal soup recipes and the advice that if you go to the fridge and there is no food give it a good clean and your spirits will rise when you see the results!!!!!!!! Not sure I believe that.
yesterday I made my second visit to the Podiatrist. I would have started sooner if I had realized Medicare covered it. Nothing like a bit of pampering and cheerful conversation.. Capt I don't like cinnamon could you make me some without please?
Boni no longer allowed alcohol but wish I would join you even if it is in a plastic cup although I can still be trusted with a glass.
Ladee M I am sure Gene understood, he loves you too much to be upset.
Great failures no none so far today but it is only half over.
havent had a drink of booze in over 2 weeks. quite an accomplishment for a lifelong drinker. oh ill stumble again, then ill battle with it again, then stumble again. its ok. ive learned to accept that i have weaknesses and limitations.
my condolences to the 3 moderators whom i assume have been laid off.
We wound up with 14 inches, so I went and stocked up supplies. -10 with wind chill in my face, but it's done!
Shoveled the back porch so the dog from hell could get out. It didn't stop him from peeing on the floor 10 minutes later.
Mom's a little cranky today, but who can blame her. Even though we never go out, it bothers her that we can't if we wanted to.
Baby lamb chops, twice baked potatoes, and peas (yuk) for dinner. Still have cheese cake, although it was only ok, not great.
I haven't had any failures....yet, but it's still early.
How is YOUR day going?
in the late 70's when the economy was pretty flaky i saw a newsperson interviewing people in a park asking them what they thought of the beautiful early summer day. one wiseass , bout 30 yrs old told em it made him wish he had a job so he could skip out of work. i guess his smirk was what made it so comical.
Failure: I pissed Mom off but luckily she forgot about it!!
Those who don't know my situation...Mom is 50% walker and 50% wheelchair, almost blind with moderate dementia, and she FORGETS in the middle of the night , that she cant walk. A room full of marbles is a disaster waiting to happen. LSS....picked up each and every one of them. My knees hurt and I'm going to bed! Night all!
so I guess that was my success for today
Before Coy developed dementia we used to have the entire family over about once a quarter for "Sunday dinner at Gramma's" As he declined it became too much for me to play hostess as well as caregiver. I intended/hoped to resume the practice after he died. It has taken a whole year for me to feel up to it, so I'm feeling pleased to be offering Sunday Brunch at Gramma's in a few weeks.
Veronica, Yes, you will feel satisfied after you see your clean fridge. I know I do.
Captain, I like this thread. Thank you for the idea.
Failure (which I really hate to admit but maybe I should) was that in trying to help dad get out of the kitchen chair (because he was sore), the chair tipped and went over on side, spilling out Dad. He is okay, but I feel like the world's worst caregiver.
hymmmmn,
hymmmmn,
F**K Hymmmmn..
