Happy Homemaker 2019-09-30

Morning!  Last day of September... winter is a-coming...

Monday I picked up my son's dog while they went to the prenatal class.

Tuesday I went to town for a mamography, a osteodensiometrie and ran some errands  - I needed new pants... all my other ones are too small :(  Also made a Costco run (but have to return the 2 shirts I bought for me as they don't fit).  Left at 6:30 in the morning and was back here at 2:30 without having lunch!

Wednesday and Thursday was super busy at work.

Friday I was off again as I had an osteo appointment, followed by groceries and dollarstore errands.  In the evening I went to see knitting lady so I can continue with my 2 pairs of socks.

Saturday was chores day and my husband worked all day at my son's house (something to do on the outside of the house).

Sunday was a slower day.  Daughter-in-law was here for the afternoon (my son was at his hockey game) and then they stayed for supper with Zac-the-dog, sister-in-law and brother-in-law.

Morning!

Started a new class during my Friday lunch hour - posture 101 - don't know if it'll continue as there are too few of us.
Work was... blah!  

Hot and sunny on Saturday.  Sunday was hot but raining off and on.

Had some visitors this weekend, my sister, brother-in law, cousin and his girlfriend.  They arrived with their motorcycles on Saturday for supper and left Sunday morning after breakfast.  They wanted us to join them in town in the afternoon Saturday but my husband had too much things to finish up around here (he did some work at my son's house Saturday morning) - we worked all day with chores.  
We had a great time, ended up going to bed late on Saturday night with all the chatting going on.  Had made a lasagna for supper.

Sunday was more of a relaxing day.  

Tuesday I have a mamography, a osteodensiometrie and then I will run errands while in town.

Morning friends

Restarted Spanish lunches on Thursday (at my work place).  Went out to visit Le Diamant (a new theater in town) during one of my lunch hours.  

Was a busy week at work... my old jobs are coming back to me after all (they had been given to other people but people keep leaving).

Starting tonight and for 4 Mondays my son and daughter-in-law are having prenatal classes so I have to go get the dog in the afternoon and they will pick him up here.


Now on with our regular programming
