So far, bed made, quiet time done, dishes put away from the drainer. Still not much planned today, but tomorrow will be a baking day after church. Since choir is not performing tomorrow, I will be visiting old friends from my former church in the morning.

Not much planned for today. I will go to the grocery store since they are having a one day sale. Other than that I’m going to be throwing some junk into the fire…literally. Dh is burning some stuff so I’m getting rid of stuff that isn’t in good enough shape to repurpose and doesn’t fit in the burn barrel. I’m also going to finish a hat so I can mail it Tuesday.

We did our normal grocery trips. We didn't need (or get) much, BUT... I forgot the lemon meringue pie that DS2 requested for his birthday on Monday. 🤦🏻♀️ So, I guess I'll be going back out for that later today.
After that, DH & I took the car to Costco for new tires. We had 90 minutes to kill, so we had lunch (I had the hot dog combo) and walked around. It was good because we had just a few things we needed (like dog food). And then the car was done early (yay) so we came home.
When we got home I re-organized the fridge yet again. I'm taking break now, but I'm going to head back to the kitchen. We have two cabinets for storing bowls, jars and containers. DS3 "cleaned out and reorganized" it a few weeks ago... but I can't tell what he cleaned out. I told him, if something doesn't have a lid, don't put it back in there!. Anyway, I'll sort it out myself today.
Then I'll head back out for that pie 😉

So far I've cut out parts for two tote bags. Dd1's flare-up is worse and we're just not getting much done with her seizures today. We have days like this. Dh got home from his dad's and ran a few errands for me. He has hardly slept the last 3 nights and has to preach twice tomorrow for two different churches without pastors. I'm going to encourage him to take a long nap this afternoon. He certainly deserves it! If dd1 can take a nap, I'll try to get more bags cut out.

Rebekah, that's a lot going on.
Gina, DS2 discovered that the mom of one of his co-workers makes tamales. He's taken to buying a bag and taking them for lunch daily.
Today, we're headed off to church - no Sunday School, but there is worship and DH has some role today - I don't remember. Either reading scripture or leading the prayers.
After that, no real plans. We're having steaks for dinner - mostly because all five of us are home, but we bought these steaks on sale I-don't-remember-when. We keep saying we'll eat them on a special day, but then forget. Well, I took them out of the freezer, so today it is.
I plan to take a nap this afternoon just because I know DH will want to stay up to midnight and I don't want to be miserable. A nap, plus a brosk walk in the late afternoon and (just maybe) some coffee with dinner, and I should be fine.
I think we're going to play board games - we aquired quite a few as a family between recent birthdays and Christmas. I normally have snacks but NYE, but we still have plenty of Christmas treats and a surprising amount of leftovers from dinner this week. And the fridge is so full already.
I need to check with DH and see if he's wrapped DS2's birthday gift. His birthday is tomorrow. It's a very odd shaped item, and I have absolutely no idea where DH hid it.
Beyond that, I plan to read and/or crochet. Yesterday, I frogged a mostly finished project that I was not happy with how it turned out. That will give me plenty of yarn to make my current lapghan project into a throw or even a twin sized afghan.

I’m spending this morning in the ER. Pretty sure my potassium is low again. Headache, leg/foot cramps, and really short of breath. Hurts to breathe also and heart rate keeps jumping up if I walk a few feet. So far the Covid & flu came back negative. Once I get home I’ll rest awhile and then do some tidying up. We have a watch night service tonight from 9-midnight but not sure if I’ll attend. Not sure how I’ll feel by then but also I know one of our neighbors will be firing a gun and shooting fireworks. At least two of our dogs are terrified of both those things so I may need to be around to reassure them.

Gina, so sorry you are having so many health problems. I am doing better today. Just washed all of last night's dishes and my bed is made, quiet time done. Just got home from church and about to make homemade cinnamon rolls.
