Happy Homemaker 2024-09-30

Good morning!

Last week was antibiotics week with lots of coughing, sciatica and sore neck.  1st good night was Thursday night.  Did not go to my tai-chi class, kinsiotherapist or in-town work.  Antibiotics ended Friday... hopefully they will continue their action...

Grandchildren came for a few hours most of the week. I took last Tuesday off work and Friday afternoon (we went to costco.. my first outing in 2 weeks.. in and out and that was enough for me)

Had the sketchbook revival week on FB, 2 sessions per day, was nice to watch.

Weekend was quite, no grandkids so I caught up on some housechores and did some cooking.

DDIL is starting a new job today and I should make it to my Tai-chi class for the 1st time.  Glad it's only at 10:30... been nauseous in the mornings since this cold.


Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .

Looking around the house
The 'ordinary' is done but I need to do some extras before the Holidays.  Next time grandkids
are around I'll take out some Halloween so they can start decorating

Thinking and pondering
