Happy Homemaker 2026-08-24

Good morning 

Have been having pain a little everywhere so finally got a doc's appointment on Saturday. will need bloodework and echography for my feet also (whe thinks I have a small tear under one foot).  she will also try to speak with gastro depending on test results.

Thursday was a music concert (free) at rodeo in next town with some big local names.  was very nice but we left home at 4:30 for the 9:00 concert... at least we got a seated place (neighbors were with us),   a bit cool but was well dressed.  Went to bed past midnight which probably explains why Friday was worse with the aches.

Friday had taken a day off so managed to do some housechores and some rest.  DH helped out at town hall for outdoor cinema night.  Kids and grandkids were gone for the weekend camping.

Saturday was doc's appointment, trying to get appointment for bloodwork (only got it scheduled today for this afternoon), sil's came by to chat in the afternoon.  A slow day.

Sunday cooked a beef / vegetable stew and then in the afternoon had free tickets to the rodeo, so off we went.  Was very cool (I was well dressed but dh might've taken one more layer... had told him but he said it isn't Fall yet... no it isn't Fall but Sunday was a Fall day).  Supper was at restaurant with bil, sil and neighbors.  Sis back from her 3 week vacation and chatted (FT) in the evening.

Weather this week


humm... a few hot days at 26

Looking around the house

House is clean but I do need to work in basement, just waiting for feet to have less pain.

Thinking and pondering

Foot are still hurting alot - waiting for tests before scheduling a podiatric appointment ($$), had had some laser done last time there was a tear.
Feeling a wee bit better than last week, thinking it was inflammation and it's going away slowly.

  2. Hahaha I forget my lists all the time. Thankfully I usually have kids at home that I can call and have them text me lol. When I actually shop- I do a lot of grocery pickups instead of going in the store. I seem to spend less money that way. I hope your foot feels better soon! You seem very busy so you need your foot! I hope you have a wonderful week!
