Taking time...

-

 Saturday, I resolved to take the time to move the guinea pigs and the baby chicks out of my daughter's room. I know who keeps chicks in the bedroom right? Apparently, we do. Not anymore. I did get the target room whittled down to the normal bedroom items. The closet still needs to be cleaned and toys relocated. Overall, I was happy to get done what I did. 

After moving the cleaned cages for the Guinea pigs to the upstairs my youngest decided she would like her horse table moved up there too. Be still my heart. I returned to the scene of the crime that resulted in my shoulder injury and started removing things that could actually go into the sewing cabin. Tomorrow, I work but I will find time to tidy a spot for her on Monday. AW wants me to run her to Costco and the Commissary. Also, my granddaughter needs a ride to the vet for her kitty cat to get a checkup. So, Monday may not be the best day to try and get stuff done. Regardless one day this week the child's table is moving upstairs! 

I will continue packing things away to move and relocating all I can to the sewing shed. then comes the dilemma of deciding to really move. I have to now even if we do not move. Why you ask? I have moved so many things into the living room that I can barely make a path through it all. Now it is time to sweep out the bathtub and bathe a dog.... again... don't ask.

Years ago, we collected tires in the hopes of using them to build something. Of course, after collecting them, we disagreed on what to use them for. Once, for about five minutes, we agreed to use them for the same project. Then at that point we could not agree on the process. Yesterday, I listed them as available for free to anyone else. Perhaps I should have listed them as a marriage enrichment challenge...

more tires

and even more tires

All the busy parts of the day aside I took off to go deliver some things to my son, I went alone. I tried to call six different people who have been calling me. No one answered. I turned on the radio for just a brief moment... I realized I enjoyed the silence more and turned it off.  There were a few inquiries for the tires, as of yet no pick-ups. 

Picking up a shift once in a while helps keep me grounded, sadly it helped me find the ground in the closet when I got home. I was disappointed in myself, for 2 months I have managed to stay upright. Two months to the day. Yes, I have had many near misses, okay every day seems to bring a near miss. Somehow, I have managed to not make contact with the floor until Sunday night.

Free will something coming up

I enjoy the yard here when it is greened up for the Spring. Otherwise, the yard is full of weeds and cacti.

 Spiderwort the yard is full of these for the first time in 20+ years

These little poppy things are here always

First year for these too!

Pretty orange flowers yearly

The contents of this post are from early February. I was going to delete but thought more about it and decided to share. Sorry the pic's are sideways. As I sit at the table and look across to the counter in the middle of the room some call an Island, i bask in the silence that is now. Soon the island will be cluttered with items needed to make lunches and chaos will fill the silence as the house gets moving and kids get ready for school. There's only a few minutes until everyone else starts getting up. Today is hippotherapy for the youngest. The wind is howling right now so they may cancel it if it's too cold for the old horses they don't go out. It's too cold for this old horse! For 3 days we've been able to go outside without coats or sweaters or jackets. Yesterday the storm clouds brewed like they were going to dump an ocean in the yard I ran outside and grabbed seven batts of insulation and took them to the basement to save them from the rain. By

To be or not to be... that is NOT the question!

 It is the day before Thanksgiving and our plans have drastically changed. We will not be going to my daughter's home, and we will not be having turkey with her. I did manage to find a turkey and it looked smallish to me. Turns out it was only a pound smaller than the smallest one at the commissary. We will go for the bone density test this morning, and I will drop the dog off for groomer at my daughter's this morning on the way to the density test.  It might be a ham thanksgiving this year if anything at all. I am not complaining. I don't want to clean or cook as no one in this house even eats all the stuff. That was all yesterday and like everything in my life it changes hourly. We made it to all of our appointments and with the kids in tow! We did not get to any stores, because I do not do stores with kids if I do not have to. The dog got dropped off, the bone density test was done, the equipment for the sleep study got picked up, and 5 D tanks of oxygen. We even managed

Black Friday... White Snow

 It is the day after Thanksgiving and the ground is covered. Black Friday shopping is not something I normally do, so this is not an inconvenience for me. We went to my daughter's home for Thanksgiving and a much smaller group of friends and family were there. My son was not feeling well so we took him some leftovers on our way home. Because the meal was not here, I do not have to deal with the leftovers or the post meal drama of what to do with all the leftover food. But that means no snacking foods either... it is a no-win situation. I get to make fresh food though and that is a good thing. I just tried to go out and return a medical device and the roads were very icy. I decided it was unlike Dunkin' Donuts, not worth the trip. Not to waste getting as far as the General Store I did buy the kids some soda for movie night tonight. We already have lots of popcorn and still some candy available. Now to find a good movie. the dog is being lazy Instead of a good movie we found that
