Happy Homemaker 2023-02-27

Good last day of February 2023! 

We had grandkids thursday night for supper when parents worked in town and they slept over.  Dh drove them to daycare Friday morning.  

Friday night ds, ddil and grandkids arrived for supper and skating by the fire torches.  Hot-chocolate, cookies, marshmallows, hot-dogs.  Cold but we were well dressed.  There were some fireworks at 8:00 but we left before as the children were tired.  I watched a series on Netflix Friday night and finished it on Saturday night (the Squid games).  Lots of blood, but it was different than what we usually see.

Saturday we went to town for a few errands at costco, followed with a lunch at the shopping center.  SIL came with us too.  I got a few summer clothes from costco's.

Sunday was housechores.

Woke up this morning with backpain and headache. will take tylenols and hope it passes quickly.

Looking around the house

On my small coffe table in the LR: a book Ancien Remedies by Dr. Josh Axe, a book ''2-step low fodmap eating plan" , my knitting needles and wool, a few cooking magazines, a box containing a small book of chinese massage, a small word search book, a sudoku book, a massage ball and a nail file.

Thinking and pondering

Snow is in the air for Tuesday, hope the roads will be good to go to work in-town. 

Work pressure.

Lesson learned in the past week or good to know

Energy is not always consistent at 100%.  It comes and goes.
