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
Chatted with dad on FT this weekend.  will need to go see them soon or they will come.  Have

  1. So glad you're starting to feel better. I LOVE that you're going to let the kids do the Halloween decorating - they'll have so much fun with that. Take care of yourself and get stronger. Have a great week.
