Breakfast done. Kitchen clean. Load of towels in the dryer.
Alarm set for 30 mins to make me get up and do a few things.
Today I start using my treadmill everyday. No excuses.

More along lines of "what, it's already February????"Seems I spent half of January hoping for good day for birthday and the highlight of that day was the chai lattes at home. Plan to redeem gift card for Starbucks chai latte in near future to make up for disappointment.Quote:

Good Morning! Snowing out now. School bus service has been canceled in our area and many areas close to us.
Sticking close to home today. I do hope to pop out to stock us up on lean ground beef but we will see if it is safe to do so. I do not drive in freezing rain at all!
Enjoying my coffee- Cleaning up a few work items before I start a big project that I will focus on till finished. Feel good if I start it this afternoon and hopefully be done tomorrow by noon that would make me happy! Just need to clean my space so I can give it my 100%.
DS went to the mailbox yesterday to pick up a package and mine was delivered too. 4 new swimsuits! And I like them all! Now I can clean out my summer drawer and toss old stuff since I have nice new ones to replace in there.
If I pick up the lean beef today I would like to prep some burger patties for the freezer tonight. Not a fan of boxed burger patties at all and sometimes I just feel like a good burger! Then I can just pick up buns and there is something for DS to make when we are away (or just fending for ourselves)
I would like to give the kitchen cupboards a good clean out. My plan is to move the butcher block on wheels from the dining room to the kitchen and then I can unload each cupboard on it and sort to organize. Want to make sure we are using up food soon to expire and to donate what we aren't going to use so it doesn't become garbage. Hope to start this project tonight and have it finished by Sunday night. Including the junk drawer!!
Have a wonderful day!
I have a black thumb I think! But I would like to at least grow one veggie this year. Ideally cherry tomatoes I am thinking so I can freeze for sauce.Quote:

I found my lovely store i like Body Shop i thought they all closed ,nope so i bought a grapefruit shower gel 5.00 reduced and chatted with the girl.I asked her why did they close in Limeridge mall,rent was way to high for them to continue.They have been bought with a new owner but still hang onto your body card just incase or they may bring a new program out in the future and go back to online shopping .That made my day.
Stopped at a new pizza place "Doughbox" on the way to sons ,we ate in very nice margerita pizza ,plus because it was national nutella day ,we got free dough boys with nutella for the girls reg 5.99 =free .They were a hit with the girls ,they just loved nana and papa.lol I had one so yummy dipped in soft nutella,when they are warm.
Good Morning Everyone,
Woke up to snow this morning, so far it is a light dusting but they are now saying we might get some freezing rain early afternoon which, I am with @Frugalbigmama , I do not freezing rain.
It has been a bit of a trying week, I am still recovering and trying to keep up with work, most house stuff is still off the table.
Tuesday was just one of those days for me, I woke up with a ton of pressure in my face and I started to worry I was getting a cold which I don't even know how I would handle a cold right now (being in the ER and not being able to wear a mask has made me a little worried). The the Specialist called and the secretary kind of freaked out she kept saying she could not find an appointment for me and kept asking me when I feel and it was just weird. I ended up turning to Google which I know is never a good idea and the things I learned just I was down a rabbit hole.
They fit me in with the specialist yesterday and it was a later afternoon appointment so I spent most of the day spinning worrying about the appointment. As well Mom decided to come with me which anytime I have to take her out I am worried. Our stairs were ice and even though I salted them it was not melting fast enough and she wanted to come in with me but parking at this building sucks and I was just spinning with how was I going to get her in the building and all the things.
Good News, no need to reset my nose (apparently the hospital does not do this now they send you to an ENT so it happens later), she showed me a little dent in my nose that even as she was showing it to me I could not see. No need for a nose cast, yay!!!!! I was able to get parking, Mom came in with me but WOW the walk was long for her.
Mom did not eat before we left, so one the way home I grabbed her a starbucks (special treat for her), plus I decided to just pick up dinner as it was almost 4:30 when we got out and I was done.
Wearing my glasses was not fun and the things they have warned me about is wearing my glasses, bend, lifting, shoveling snow. I am sure for most not an issue but with Mom's mobility issues it is hard for me to now do these things. I bruising and swelling is going down so I am hopeful maybe next week I am can get back to a sort of normal schedule.
But after going out yesterday I was so tired and slept almost 10 hours last night and I am still feeling it today.
I have written my grocery list but I am afraid to go shopping but it will need to be done there are a few things we need. Also need to figure out how to do laundry (Mom can't do the stairs and I cannot lift or bend) and then figure out how to take out our garbage (weather depending, if we get freezing rain it can stay in the house).
I need to try to find some focus and knock out some work things.
Happy Thursday Everyone.
I hope you find your ring @coupon girl
oh dear, @SassyAshley the struggle is still very present regarding that fall of yours. Not being able to get the laundry done would get my stress levels up.
That stuff multiplies when left alone for only a couple of days! Good news about your nose though. Keep ploughing through with all the other chores you
have, that's what you seem to be best at. (((double healing hugs!! )))
I joined a few others on here in deciding NOT to risk a drive anywhere. Not even around the block to buy gas. DH graciously offered to fill the tank on the
way into work and I accepted.
This way I spent the morning on a small but rewarding work out, tended to the pets, tidied 2 rooms, enjoyed a scrumptious meal while watching a movie I
never heard of called Poison Rose. Who can resist Morgan Freeman and John Travolta? I never knew it BUT his daughter Ella Bleu had a role in it! Simple
enough time waster.
Dear Eastern Canada,
I’m writing you this note to implore you to please take back your winter (aka snow) from us on the west coast. While we admit it is beautiful we also realize that we are NOT capable of maintaining it the way you all do. We do not have proper snow removal capability, we don’t have proper outerwear. While runners that are Gore Tex will help with keeping us dry it doesn’t work effectively in snow (I call my hiker runners my snow shoes and they are NOT! :yikes:
Sincerely,
Your West Coast Cousins :flowers:
@harbie , the beauty of snow wears off quickly lol.
I personally am ready to see some green, I am over all the white (or off white/brown/grey, it doesn't stay white for long LOL).
@coupon girl , hope you find your ring?
Have there been any updates?
Decided to pop out to Food Basics since it sounds like bad weather tomorrow so took my chance while it was clear out.
$48.80 later. 3x Lean ground beef, pineapple, ham buns, garlic toast (for DS- to go with pasta and to make grilled cheese in air fryer) cheese slices.
I also cleaned out one kitchen cupboard completely today. 3 shelfs- Spices on one shelf/Oils etc on 2nd shelf/Top shelf bin of meds.
Organized and tossed old stuff. Washed the shelves. Put it back nice and neat.
Have a bunch of dog meds to give away (not expired so figure someone may want them- ear cleaner etc)
Now to figure out what we feel like for dinner. I am thinking meatballs with veggies and ceasar salad (I didn't take out chicken for chicken ceasar salad because I wasn't feeling like chicken for some reason) Not really in the mood to cook much lately..
