The peace and quiet of an early Saturday morning

It has been a miserable week of not feeling well. Amazingly enough, my laundry is caught up. Not done, but caught up. Was about to swtich loads while this picture file was uploading and found that the washing machine hadn't managed to spin the water out. Hmph. I emptied out half the soaked towels and came up here for a few minutes to let the machine do its thing. (fingers are crossed .. it just doesn't like heavy loads)

 

Being as I was doing the happy jig (direct deposit from the IRS is a beautiful thing) when I went to work yesterday morning and feeling like someone had beat me up when I finally got home ... we took everyone who was at home (Blayde missed out) and went to the Noisy Goose to eat. I could actually taste the halibut. Getting there ... getting there!! I couldn't nearly stand up by the time I headed for bed. I did fill the vaporizer with water again. The onion isn't peeled ... just needs a new one by my bed.

 

The job list on the computer room door is 2 pages long. Typewritten. The font is only 14, it does have some spaces as things are sort of organized by room ... and there is a mom section. Although I'd dearly love to give up paying bills ... the kids might do the shopping part of the list before the bill paying part which might prove to be quite disastrous. Everyone is sleeping. The house is quiet. Must go see if the washer did any good. Then off to start the list. I'd listen to some soothing music along the way to make the cleaning less painful, but there is this audio book that keeps calling my name. It has been silent all week. The call hasn't been ... the book has. :)

 

 

By the way, it was 47 degrees outdoors when I went to bed last night. This morning it is at 35, but our world is melting. Running water kind of melting. Ice fields left behind kind of melting. Camera needs to go outdoors today ... that kind of melting.

 

Have a great Saturday!

I was gone about 65 minutes in which I went to the urgent care, was seen by the doctor, picked up my prescription at Target and filled the gas tank on my way home. Good thing. I forgot my book at home.)
