Hollylane · 02-20-2014, 05:04 PM

I've now sat upright and awake (strange, but I can be upright and asleep, so I have to specify), for more than 4 hours! A new record in the last 2 months. YAY!

C0LLETTE · 02-22-2014, 02:58 PM

I wrote and sent a Birthday card to my daughter. It's tricky because she's in her 30's now and all the jokes don't seem quite as funny to her anymore...lol.

See, when you're in your 60s, and up, people don't dare make snide age jokes cause what if you keeled over the next day. They'd feel awful ( for the most part ). But 30ers are fair game: generally in good health, in their prime, world's their oyster...and not nearly old enough to know it doesn't last forever...it's a party ...and I'd be the last one to spoil it for her.

WingsOnFire · 02-23-2014, 04:39 PM

No plans to accomplish much today on last day of the olympics and a hockey game.

If lucky I will finish marketing poster for a group class and drafting questions for my accountant?

Ginger · 02-23-2014, 07:14 PM

Today my sister and I took our mom to a nice women's clothing store in McKinney, just north of where my parents—I guess I should say my mom—live.

She wanted to find a suit to wear to our dad's memorial service and graveside ceremony. She's lost so much weight, she's down to a size 6 and even tried on some size 4 skirts.

In the end she bought two lovely slacks/skirt/suit jacket sets, one gray and one black. She also got a nice blouse. My sister and I were running back and forth bringing her different sizes and combinations of outfits. In the midst of it all, I got myself a little silk top to wear with my black skirt and sweater.

Afterwards we went to a restaurant and it was very weird, not having him with us and it was awkward to pay for it ourselves, but we're falling into a pattern easily, of taking turns. Today I accomplished moving through the steps of this hard time.

Sweet Bliss · 02-24-2014, 09:38 AM

Well, let's see... yesterday, Sunday:

Worked on love seat cover. Got the bottom cushion almost done, need to add a casing along the bottom edge. Instead of buying an expensive zipper, I am making the cover with a casing on the bottom edge so Roomie only has to loosen the cord to remove the cover. Toss in the washer and dryer, and done! Much better than wrestling the dang thing. So it looks like an expensive custom cover but it's not! Today I have to figure out how to make the cover for the back, arms, and front panel along the bottom.

Went grocery shopping. Have alot of cooking this week ahead of me.

Wasn't feeling good after that so I went to bed. Still not feeling very perky right now.

The weather is lovely outside, so I will probably go clean up the mess from the rain and wind after I get dressed and eat something.

Later gators!

sara-bera · 02-24-2014, 09:48 AM

Cleaned the bathroom,
transcribed eighty-five minutes of interviews,

willow · 02-24-2014, 10:05 AM

Got some work done.
Took a short walk.
Got some more work done.
Cleaned out the fridge. No out of date food but I do not need to know what was growing on the sticky shelf

Ate a piece of cake. Pretty crummy! Too dry.
Got some work done.
Hung a cabbage in the chook run. Nothing excites a chicken like a nice fresh cabbage.
Bit more work done.
Looked at the tree stump.
Looked at the tree stump some more. Decided it can wait.

Met with Mom's pastor, to finalize some details of the service
Edited a piece to read at the service
Cleaned up the breakfast dishes and the dinner dishes (my sister cooked)
