Happy Homemaker 2021-10-04

 Good morning!  

We are finished with following dh's preparation to retirement... and he has started saying he will not stop by Christmas... I know he is not ready to retire.

Last weekend I washed all kitchen cabinets (and top of cabinets), ... what a chore!  I did purge more (and here I thought I had already decluttered most of what needed to go) .  My husband is working at my son's house (putting up more insulation in the garage, staining the deck)

I did go to doctor's last week, no infection in my tummy but I do have a 'capsulite' in my left arm.  Osteo helped but can't have another appointment until December!  so off I went to physio last Wednesday.  Have exercises to do.  Will go back Tuesday this week and while at it he will look at my Achilles heel tendinitis.  Getting old is for the birds!

Did not see the grandkids this weekend as Xavier has gastro (the flu) :(

Leaves are changing color and it's beautiful outside.

Next weekend is our Thanksgiving.  Family is coming for the weekend so need to prep a few things.

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