Good morning ladies!
I've had a nice quiet morning and will be getting up to get ready in a bit. Today we are headed to the other Amish store and then to Waffle House for lunch. Once home I plan on cleaning and we need to do the grocery list for tomorrow. I also need to do a load of towels.
We need new bookcases in the room that is DH's office. I think that we might look online for them today as well.

Good morning! Enjoy your day, Michelle. Here it will be quiet. DSs 1 & 2 are off to work for the day. DS3 will be enjoying a final, long day of video games šDH has a full day of work. Today: - I need to do a small amount of admin on the computer
- Pay whatever bills I can. I know it's not the first of the month yet, but I'd like to get it out of the way if possible,.
- Clean out the area around my computer. It's a MESS. Partly, that last week, I was just getting through the day and getting OUT to whatever needed to be done. Also, with all the Christmas decor out, a lot of instruments that sit out got stashed in here. I'm going to start with a trash bag, and I might even move things back into their normal rooms - crowded out there, but those are full sized rooms. This space is basically a closet.
- I plan to carry the trashbag through the rest of the house. Might as well fill it up
- I'm also going to look at consolidating our two deep freezes. We have two smaller freezers. But right now, we really could use a second fridge. DS1 & DS2 have started buying a lot of their own lunches, and between their stuff and DH's stuff (he gets two kinds of milk plus half-n-half for himself each week), it's just hard to fit stuff in the fridge. Plus, more than once, one of us who is still home all day has accidentally eaten someone's designated lunch food because they didn't mark it. Anyway, if I can empty one freezer and sell it, we can use that space for a small fridge. There are a ton of them on marketplace right now.
have a lovely day -

I am on an antibiotic and am doing better this morning. My UTI is pretty severe; I will spare you the gory details. Bed is made, quiet time done. Today my focus will be deep cleaning the kitchen, which should be easy as we are eating leftovers tonight.

There are two widows we "keep an eye on" in addition to caring for dh's dad. I say "keep an eye on" because while we are not their caregivers, they are both mentally and physically needy and have no husbands or children to help them. I talk to them on a regular basis and we try to visit or deliver food or treats when we are able. Well, BOTH of them are in the hospital right now AND dh's dad was in the ER and doctor's office all day again yesterday. Dh is staying with his dad again today, tonight, and tomorrow. I am just not able to go to the hospital to visit the ladies and dd1 had a flare-up last night and I can hardly walk again. Part of that is the usual physical stuff, and part I think, due to a weather change. At least dd2 says the anti-nausea meds are helping and she can function on her own today. Yes, last night was a full moon! LOL!
So far today, I've paid bills, fed the pets, and did correspondence stuff. Hopefully I can cut out fabric for the tote bags. I also need to wash the dishes, but that will have to wait until I can stand up for more than a minute at a time.

Rebekah, I hope you start feeling better soon and can stand long enough to get chores done. Merrileem, Iām glad you are feeling better. Arenāt antibiotics a wonderful thing? Iāve been busy today. Not too busy but considering Iām not feeling really great I feel worn out. After feeding the animals this morning I took some things to our assistant pastorās house and left on their porch (they werenāt home). Stopped by the store and the feed store for a bale of hay. Participated in teleconference prayer then took a small nap. Dh needed a can of gas to burn some stuff when he gets home but didnāt have a can with him. Heās been on the road all week so knew he wouldnāt want to get out again once he gets home so I went to town to get it and stopped to get some lotion. I need to replenish the ingredients to make my own. Iām going to rest the remainder of the day. My neck and upper chest glands hurt and had a headache part of the day. Getting short of breath and lungs feel tight and heavy. Iāll give myself a breathing treatment tonight.

Well I spent a ton of money at the Amish store today - but I am massively stocked up. I did get a small container of buttermilk solids. Basically, you mix it in to milk and make buttermilk. Will be good to have around for biscuits
