Happy Homemaker 2025-01-13

Good morning!

Last week was another busy one at work, hoping it calms down to a standard level soon.  Had to work part of my Monday once again and a few hours more each day.

Had Xavier here Thursday and Friday as his earache has worsened even with antiobiotics.  He has a new antibiotic now with ear drops too.  Both grandkids slept over Thursday night.  DH drove Anne-E to daycare on Friday while Xavier stayed here.  DDIL was out of town for work Thursday and Friday and ds had a hockey game on Thursday night.  He had supper here with grandkids on Friday night. 

Saturday was lots of regular housechores for me.  DH went to help out at sil's, they are redoing half the main floor - getting old ceramic out and putting in a new one and a new counter and backsplash in the kitchen.  He also went to hockey game with neighbor Saturday night.  I took out my new advent calendar puzzle that I had not done and started on that.

Sunday was a lazy day, didn't do much.  My eye is bothering me (I remember last year was at this time of the year that I had infection upon infection).

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

We have a light spray of snow on the ground as of last night.  Very rare for us no snow in January.    A little each day in the forecast but just 1 cm per day.

Looking around the house

Received my TEMU order for more fairy lights and battery-operated candles.  So now in the evening we have a soft glow in every room.

I picked up alot during the weekend so it looks nice... except for my office where I have summer clothes out ready to be packed.

Thinking and pondering

Dad put away the doll I had brought for mom.  It is hard for him to so see her with it.  she was saying it had started walking, he feels like she goes on to another world when she has it.  He will take it out again later if need be.

Deep-cleaning has to be started

Prep for end of February 1-week trip to Florida

Will try to be in good health before leaving (starting up vitamins, being careful with my food, etc...)

Xavier's funny
