Hi, everyone! I am just wandering around here aimlessly ... no housework to do ... no errands to run unless my dinner guest wants something specific ... I'm watching Bridgerton 2 right now on Netflix so that should pass some time! Can't wait for Bridgerton 3! This is what I posted on Facebook today: DIY kitchens can sometimes go terribly wrong! Hehehehhehe!!!! Sorry so big!!! In your house, are your chores split up 50/50 or is there a conflict? What about kids? Does your current situation work for you? (In my house, if it doesn't get done by my cleaning lady I am stuck with it!) What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a relaxing Sunday everybody!

leannec, I love your new dining room light fixture. Where is it from? Got a link? It's from Amazon Canada ... I'll give you the name and you can see if it is available on the US site: "mavcadonf Kitchen Island Light, 5-Light Dining Room Lighting Fixtures Hanging, Farmhouse Linear Pendant Light for Kitchen Island Table Living Room with Adjustable Rods, Black Metal" www.amazon.ca/dp/B09QYHNMZP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Hi everyone! I'm just puttering around here today ... I have a bunch of boxes and garbage to take out related to my new lights ... kind of awkward ... yay. I replaced the fixture above my dining table and all of the lights in my hallways (replaced those ugly builders lights) ... Here are the old and the new: Ugly old fixture above dining table: New fixture: Old hallway fixture ("boob light"!!): New hallway fixture (there are four): I hired a handyman to install the lights because I don't have a husband anymore ... I'm OK with that! Dinner is up in the air ... I might invite my teacher friend over ... he had a bad day yesterday and I'm curious to find out what happened ... he's very jealous that I'm subbing! How is everyone's SO's feeling? How are you feeling? Especially if you have Covid! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everybody!

Tearisci, as I've mentioned on this thread they have some great independent living commmunities now. Would your parents be into retirement living? Mil's was like a resort, but she had extra care, too. Some people just lived there for the amenities, while others needed help. They had field trips to go wine tasting and other places. There was a wine and beer bar for happy hour and lots of fun stuff to do. We used to see couples there. Would it be a consideration? My mum lives in a retirement residence and LOVES it! She is 77 ... It has made her more social! They are so nice there and she is getting involved in all kinds of activities ... meeting all kinds of people ... I can't say enough good things about it!

I took the day off work today because I bought a bunch of new light fixtures What kind did you get? I'm looking for something for the camper. Something to hang over the dining table. Something that looks a little outdoorsy. This is the photo from your fav place! Amazon! I have a lot of black iron in my condo so the lights are all black iron ...

I'm glad you had a great time at the game scrapmaven! My mum LOVES baseball! She records Blue Jay's games to watch later if she isn't home when it is on. (I can't sit through 9 innings - torture! ) I took the day off work today because I bought a bunch of new light fixtures and I'm getting my handyman to install them today ... they will go above my kitchen table, in my spare bedroom and in my hallways ... I will post photos this weekend! I'm getting together with my girlfriend later for either lunch or dinner ... we haven't decided ...

Is hot custard a thing in the US and Canada? I know it is common and popular in the UK, as it is here. I don't think it is a thing in Canada with the general population ... I'm of British descent and have never had it

Hope you had a good day at high school leannec! It was good! The classes weren't LOUD like the other day. I will say that I don't enjoy the length of high school blocks ... over an hour each ... I'm used to 50 minute classes ... I was watching the clock!

I am teaching this afternoon ... I am in a high school today and tomorrow - the same school, two different teachers ... There is no information attached to this job so I have no idea what I will be doing other than "Humanities" ... Until it is time to leave I will just putter around ... Dinner will be takeout of some sort ... I already know that I don't want to cook!

Now I am doing laundry and my kitchen needs some attention. Here is what I posted on Facebook today ... I like cooking but I hate the mess ... a dilemma! This is the stir fry I made last night ... sooooo good! What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? I am going for an early dinner at 4 with my girlfriend at a great local restaurant!

(there are ten empty coke cans on my coffee table) UGH! Kill me now! That wouldn't fly in my house ... even when my family lived with me! leannec , is your mother by any chance named Ethel Mertz? I KNOW!! One of the selling points of her unit was the fact that it faced the front and she could see all the comings and goings

Hi everyone! Now that it is over I can tell you about my week ... My young "friend" spent five days with me at my place while some work was being done on his house ... We both worked and did our own thing and then met up here at night ... It was fun because we are good friends but I can tell you that I have no intention of living with anyone anytime soon! Stuff left around, stuff not done "my way", etc. Maybe that's why I'm not very motivated to meet someone? I FINALLY got paid by my pension! Two months worth! Now I can start paying my mum back. This is what I posted on Facebook today ... I live a lone so it's a no brainer! I am on my way to get some groceries and then I will wait for my mum to get here ... we are washing her comforter here because I have a large capacity washer ... she hates duvets and covers ... that's all I use ... crazy woman! Her new hobby is counting the times she she the Stars Air Ambulance comes and goes from the top of the Foothills Hospital in Calgary ... she can see the action from her front window ... she's a nosy Nelly with OCD! We will decide on dinner when she gets here ... How is everyone feeling? I'm doing well other than feeling really run down ... What are your plans today? What is on your menu tonight? Have a great Saturday everybody!

But "Loud Baby" is getting on my last nerve! . She is about two so old enough to have some self control ... she is loud because it gets attention ... I don't know how her family deals with her ... she's a handful! I live next door to a screamer who's around 3 years old. All day everyday from 6am to 11pm. I was told by her parents that since she is a girl, she has hormones raging in her body, and needs to scream to let them out. W.T.F.?
