Happy Homemaker 2020-10-05

Good morning!

Posting a bit late, but...

Last week had a 3hr. dentist appontment on Monday afternoon... $800 later and sore neck but it's done (insurance paid back $500) 😕

Friday had an osteo appointment - she is now leaving the office and will be working from her home the next time I see her.... which will be in December since she is busy until then.  Took that morning off and did groceries at the same time.  My husband finished worked a little bit earlier and we went back to town to finally buy the new dishwasher.  Will receive it this week.  Had mcd's and ate in the car as all restaurant dining rooms are closed because of Covid.

Saturday - had Xavier with me as both parents had eaten something which did not go down well and didn't get much sleep.  My husband was here in the am so I managed to put the spaghetti sauce in the crockpot, make some protein muffins, cook a humongous chicken (as big as a turkey) and cook some meatloaf.  In the afternoon daughter- in-law came by to watch a movie while Xavier slept.  Husband and son worked on his garage.  They left after supper (spaghetti) but Xavier stayed the night.

Sunday - Kids came over for lunch - turnip/pear potage and chicken sandwiches.  They all left after dinner and my husband went to my son's house to work some more on the garage.  I vaccumed main floor and had a nap outside in the sun... a nice Autumn day.

How I am feeling this morning

Needed more sleep but wasn't happening so got up and started the day

On my mind

My retirement class starting this morning... 4 mornings this week. 1st one was pretty interesting and lots to think about.

My humongous to-do list... not doing much on weekends with the kids here, so I'm thinking I need to do a little each day of the week if I want the 'extras' done.

On the breakfast plate

A protein muffin (made with tofu but doesn't taste or have a yucky texture... but it ain't sweet either), and some almond milk
