Sounds like you are keeping busy and doing ME time too Bushlady.

Also like the DVD.

Today I got up late and will just putter around until I have o drive and drop off my sales items.
Have to start gathering things to pack for my trip next weekend and clean the house before I leave.

Good morning, JDIers!

Yesterday, in addition to what I crossed off on my list, I also tidied up the linen closet, my dresser drawers and my closet when I put away the laundry. That was much needed!

JDIs for today:

- wash dishes - Dish washer loaded and running; hand-washed pots and pans - DONE
- wipe stove top - DONE
- put away load of laundry hung up to dry overnight - DONE
- take DD to campus to work - DONE
- grocery shop - DONE
- Visit cousin - DONE
- Review work document
- another load (or 2) of laundry
- clean 1 bathroom
- sweep/mop kitchen floor
- find another 10-12 hrs. in the day to do everything I need to do!

Today's JDI list:
-laundry (2 loads *#1 in the dried, folded and put away, #2 in the dryer)
-load of dishes
-supper in the crockpot
-sort, toss, scan paperwork
-school planning and marking

Sunshine! And that 4°C start has warmed right up to 15°C. Dare I hope that the forecast of snow for the next two days is just a big mistake or a joke?

Went to mass, then picked up some groceries. The store was full of people from the local churches!
Checked e-mail, wrote one, deleted a lot.
DH Skyped me before I had my lunch. I watched an old comedy show on-line.

The afternoon is going fast. Shall I soak up the heat in the car outside with a good book? I love that heat at the end of winter. Or shall I get into old clothes and putter in the yard? Or go for a walk? I won't be doing taxes yet, that's for sure.

Bushlady:
So what did you do?

Today I am HOME! Love days like that.
Routines and ETEing
Get suitcase up and take basket downstairs
Do cleaning in a few rooms
Pick up pet food for DS2 who will be pet sitting for me while I am away on my mini vacation.
Work on craft

Have a great day today and take some ME time.

It's been a while since I've been posting on here. My life has made an unexpected turn and I'm working at remaking my life based on a "new normal".

Two weeks ago today my DH died unexpectedly. I have mixed feelings about it - I'm glad that he's been set free from the physical pain and challenges that he was dealing with 24-7 but I feel extremely sad for me in that I will have to live out the rest of my life without his presence. He was a wonderful man and a fabuous husband. I am strong - I will make the required adjustments!

Right now I am dealing with what needs to be done next (or one step at a time). Therefore today, I want to do -

- laundry (finish 1 load)
- d/w - empty clean dishes, start refilling
- MBR - sand filled spots on wall, add more fill if needed
- write down what I eat today (WW refresher)
- deal with more of my late DH's clothes (sell and/or donate) I've already dealt with the stuff that was ready to be tossed.
- deal with stuff that's still in my mother's former home (bring home the things I want to keep and take pics of the things that I want to sell)
- other tasks?

Darlene-I am so sorry to read of your husband's unexpecting passing. You will be in my prayers. God Bless.

My dear Darlene, I am so sorry. You will be in my prayers, too.

Diana, it was such a pleasant afternoon that I bundled up and walked round to see someone I haven't seen for ages, and we had a nice visit. Later I took out a music book and sang (no one around to suffer, LOL), and then I got out some oil pastels and played around with them, since I had found some good instructions on-line on using them.

I finished off the second disc of the Gardens DVD set and crocheted, then undid the last two rounds of the square, as at the end I discovered that on the previous row I had created a corner along one side!

Today:
Dailies
Funeral choir and funeral - done
Mail two greetings cards - done
Picked up a few groceries- done
E-mail DH - done, but may write another before the day is out.
Strip bed and launder sheets, put fresh set on.
Ironing.
Take it easy - that cold wet weather is tiring.

Darlene:
I am so sorry for your pain, and I am glad you and DH had such a long and wonderful marriage. Good memories are wonderful. There will be days that are harder than others, but your faith will help you thru those.

Buhlady:
I am so enjoying your days with you! LOL, I've done that also with the crocheting on the rounds for a granny square myself!

Had some computer trouble and DS2 was in town and straightened out the problem. Bought him dinner. DDIL is with mom for her chemo.

Did odds and ends today.
