Happy Homemaker 2023-01-16

Good morning!

Recap of last week:

Tuesday - In-town work for the 1st time in over a month.  Was nice to see people again... one I had not seen since beginning of Covid.

Wednesday - ddil & ds worked in town so dh picked up grandkids at daycare so they could have supper here.  When they left town the back window of their Tucson had fallen in the car! and the breaks stuck and are shot.  So they had to stop at a garage on the way back and leave the car there.  DH picked them up and drove them home.  Grandkids slept here and dh brought them to daycare Thursday morning.

Friday ds picked up his car after work and stopped by with grandkids so they had supper here. We booked Punta Cana with sis & bil, brother &sil, cousin + his wife form April 19 to 26.  I'm very nervous, last time I went on a one-week all inclusive was more than 15 years ago in Cuba and have has stomach problems since then (du to?? virus, bacteria, genes, antibiotics... no idea but have had Crohn's disease since).  ... what will be, will be.

Saturday, started some deep-spring cleaning and a little decluttering.  Sunday was mass (paid for mil & fil by us) and nothing much during the day.  I did order a few beachwear things, hoping some of it fits and finally started on my yucky paperwork.  Supper at a Chicken place with sil & bil.

Today will be housechores and more paperwork

On my mind

I HATE having appointments of any kind and I have many coming up.

Trip - Have a list of things to do so I can try to be as healthy as possible for that trip.

Think I will sign up for a Fodmap/mediteranean diet class (it is virtual with a local nutrionnist accredited by Monash university), it is expensive but I think it can only do my health good - DONE - I registered!

Have a few things to take care of (procrastinating)... Union things (DONE), financial things... beurk.  should try to do them and get that off my shoulders.

Upcoming this week

Tuesday: have an appointment to adjust my glasses (had a box knock them off my face when deep-cleaning the craft closet).  Will drop off some gloves & hats for the homeless at the same time.  Tuesday night - Union meeting by zoom.

Wednesday at 9:30 - zoom meeting with nutritionnist before start of the fodmap/mediteranean class from 12:00 to 1:00 1 wednesday every 2 weeks.
